Here is bis own account of the outrage: : .. y: : - " At half past 12 o'clock on the night of the 2-th, two soldiers of Captain Dsgenlelt's squad whose names we have, came to ourreidence ; gave an alaim at the door, with r request to see us. Rot having the elightest idea that they, were soldiers who came for the purpoee of making cur arrest, we prevented ourselves at the door, imagine our surpr'se to find two soldiers with revolvers in hand, who interrogated us whilst stepping into the house as follows: We understand you ate s Democrat and vrttedfor Falandigutm." On birg answered in the affirmative, they said: By O d we want ypu to go with us, that's 'what we are here for, to take each d d fellows as you are." We refused to go with them whereupon thy brandished their iatols, (one. of them cocking his.) threatened to shoot us ii we showed any resistance. Not bavin; anything to defend ourselves with, and under menacing and poailiye threats, repeating several times their intention to take us from the house dead or alive we yielded to their demands, and . were taken and placed in custody of the Captain, wlip onnqwirj ascertained that his men . did wrong, 'then let ps go. ln palliaiion for the course taken by the. two who arrested us, they etatmei that they were- informed by ' certain persona that a rsb . was concealed in .our house." This excue on their, part we can prov to be folse, that they were informed of no sneh thin, it bchig a mere sibterf age; that they made inquiry concerning ns, our place of business, &.. and that our arrest waa maJe for no other offense than declared by them on first coining' to our house, that wearea'DKM-OCR AT AND VOTEI -FOR MR.- VL- LhANDIQIi AU. ' to which offense w then plead guijf v, and now, and wUl continue to, affirm with .pride; that koowing our right dare maintain. We charge upon these men as making an assault upon us (mi) with intent to kill, and that that malicious assault was made for no other reason than because we entertain political opiuioua adverseto-abolitionism.

Tire roada and lanes were nearly all itrtfted fall, anil iu some places as high as the fence. ' 1 have travelled through road that had been shovelled out. The mercury waa down to 25 degrees below, aero for three or four days. Many of the passenger trains were snowed up and much suffering occurred. We hear of many being frozen ' to death, beanies . mat y that are so badly frotea a to be maimed for life. The loss of hog on the different roads leading to Cliicago is immense, also of horned cattle, and oo tbe different . roads leading- to St. Loui it i aompated that 10,000 begs have been frozen to death, some yet Standing upon their feet, so quick was the freezing. A met-aucboiy iucaleut occurred in llicbigan, which I shall briefly notice. The house of a bard- working German family took fire and burned to tbe ground, the wind being so intensely im pregnated with the northern frigid, that the whole family ware frozen before help arrived. The father and son were found fn b snow drifts a little farther on two younger 'children, and Still a little further ona daughter standing in the Snow wrapped in shawl but dead, in another place the . mother with aft infant m her bosom, both in the cold embrace Of death.
