I will be thirty-nine next August. I belonged to Mr. William Campbell. I was raised in the same family as Lewis Clarke, who has written a book about his life. My master lived on Silver Creek, about eight miles from Richmond. He owned nineteen or twenty slaves. My mother belonged to him; my father to Mr. Barrett, who lived about three miles off. My mother was always the cook of the family. I lived in Kentucky till I was about fourteen years of age, when old master moved off to Clay county, Missouri, carrying my mother with him, and all her children, excepting Millar, who had been sold to one of Mr. Campbell's cousins. She had thirteen children at that time, and had one more in Missouri. One daughter died on the journey. A kind master. They parted my father and mother; but, when in Indiana, old master went back and bought him. He left us in charge of a son-in-law, and rejoined us with my father in Missouri. My poor mother! It seems to me too bad to talk about it. Y

to the outposts, and at 9 A. M. to-day was delivered into the hands of the authorities. A single private soldier received him, to whom he made the following declaration: "I am a citizen of the State of Ohio, and of the United States. I am here by force, and against my will.

The town of Murphey is reported burnt.

hwhackers and guerrillas who yet remain. Bill Anderson's gang is still at large, and is said to be commanded by a fellow named Jackson, who is a worthy successor in the sleeping of prisoners and other cruelties committed by the bushwhackers. An energetic movement has been made in North Missouri to clean out the guerrillas from that section as early as possible. General Craig left St. Joseph several days ago with about two thousand mounted militia for a raid on the rebels in Platte and Clay counties. Colonel Shanklin, from Chillicothe, and other officers from the line of Hannibal and St. Joseph railroad, are after the rebels also; and the fur has begun to fly before this. Every one of these expeditions contains a majority of the local loyal militia, who have in many cases been driven from their homes by the rebels. There is no concealment of the fact that they mean to be revenged on their secession neighbors, who have pointed them out to the rebels as Union men; and many of these
