Judge Green not so badly injured as was feared. McBride died instantly. Mr. Clark was not fired upon, but a Mr. Lewis whose wounds are quite serious. William returned from Chillicothe. The Union demonstration in Maryland improves Railroad prospects. Mr. Wilson is to make a third start for England next Thursday. William met Mr. Munsell on the cars returning from Kansas through Pana. Left Daniel well & intending to come to Ohio next fall to settle his business here. Mr. Walton's school was broken down. The young men connected with it have enlisted, and the war feeling distracts attention from everything else -- -- a very gloomy prospect for them. Mr. Gates was also on the cars returning from Columbus where he was set by the council of Marietta to solicit forces for the defence of this section of the state, which, considering the position Virginia has taken and our proximity to the Northwestern Virginia Railroad may be considered peculiarly exposed. He thinks Gov. Denison is guilty of a great deal of favoritism in his management of the whole thing -- -- evidently hoping to make political capital out of it. There is a prospect that at least one regiment of troops will be sent to this county.
Editor's notes:
Some of the Cutler's relatives lived in Pana, Illinois. Clara Cutler Walton was a sister of William & Julia. Daniel Converse Cutler was a half-brother. (See the People tab above for Family Group Sheets.)
