Judge Lilly is very anxious that the troops go with him to Knott and Letcher Counties, but I heard of no organized band of outlaws in those counties too strong for the civil authorities, if the latter will do their duty. The troops, officers and men comprising the detail, conducted themselves in a soldierly and appropriate manner, and I apprehend that they will have no trouble in protecting the court from violence should any be offered, which I think improbable. Very respectfully, SAM E. HILL, Adjutant-General. Captain Sohan's report contains additional facts of interest; the difficulty in reaching the remote, mountainous section, and facts connected with the conduct of the court.
