 MAuNIEE, April 10, 1885.

 Samuel Forrer, Esq.-Dear Sir:--We were assufed short time since, by Messrs. Rush and Howard, that no resistance would be made by Michigan. It is now evident that there will be trouble, and the Governor of Ohio will not be able to ac- complish the running of the line without calling out strong military force. This cannot be done without first convening the General Assembly, in order to make the necessary appropriations

 We shall start 10 morrow for the North Western part of the State; and the next time you hear from me l shall probably in- form you that l am at Monroe. the head quarters of Gen. Brown. Gen. Brown was yesterday at Toledo, at the head of the Sheriff7s posse of hundred armed men. They came for the purpose of arresting those who have accepted office under the State of Ohio.

 He informed me that any attempt to run the line would be resisted by. the whole force of the Territory. That they had 300 men under arms at Monroe, and six hundred more would soon be there: that they have 1900 stand of arms from the United States Arsenal at White Pigeon Prairie; that they did not mean to be rode over rough shod by Ohio. It was replied that Ohio had not as yet put on her rough shoes; and would not unless they made 1t necessary; and that the line would certainly be run. The governor of Ohio started on the Sth inst. for Defiance, and Is entirely unprepared to meet the forces of Michigan. What course he will pursue I do not know. Our party consists of fifteen or twenty unarmed men !; and if we proceed we shall certainly he made prisoners-there not being a sufii- cient number to prevent surprise; l think the expedition will be delayed. The State of Ohio is atFording no protection to the people on the disputed territory, further than through the civil authority. And those who have accepted office have been obliged to retreat. The Governor has power to call out the militia but has no funds to sustain them.
