The men were nearly worn out. Many of them gave out, and were lying along the road for miles. A great many returned without shoes, having thrown them away, preferring to walk barefooted. They all speak highly of the hospitable manner in which they were treated by the citizens of Commerce and Benton, both in Missouri. Although they found no one to fight, they took several prisoners at Commerce, who were accused of being traitors. They were all released except three, who are now here awaiting trial. Their names are as follows: Mr. Ellisen, Mr. Moss, and Arthur Newmar.

Jackson on the charge of treason, and this warrant was taken up to Booneville when Lyon went up to attack the State troops there.
