Small parties were sent to the houses of leading secessionists, and about one hundred and fifty arrested, most of whom took the oath and were released.  Ten persons from Potosi, one from Desoto, and one from Victoria, were brought to St. Louis, and are now confined in the arsenal.  Among the Potosi prisoners were the editor of the Potosi Miner and John Dean, a man who has been conspicuous in selling and transporting lead to the South.  There were captured one thousand dollars worth of lead, forty horses, a quantity of uniforms, and a flag of the Southern Confederacy, bearing also the State arms. The flag was captured at Desoto to, where it was to have been raised, and a Southern love feast held today.  The American flag was run up on the pole prepared by the secessionists, and a guard left to protect it and the horses which could not conveniently be brought away.  The Union people were enthusiastic and wild with delight, and gave the troops breakfast and dinner, presented bouquets and flags to the officers and invited Captain Cole and his men to stay a month, at their expense.  The returning expedition arrived here shortly after 6 o'clock, and was greeted with tremendous applause for Lyon, Blair, and the national flag.

Sacramento Daily Union, November 23, 1864 In El Dorado, El Dorado county, Oct. 22nd, Ann, widow of Charles Roussin, late of Washington County, Missouri Sacramento Daily Union, May 26, 1868 BURIED ALIVE - Washington County Journal (Mo) of April 30th says: On Friday last an accident occurred near town which was near proving fatal tone of our citizens. John Molloy and Van Parmelee have for some time been engaged in sinking a shaft in Burts' Diggings.  On the day above name Molloy had descended in to the shaft and was digging in an oblique direction past a shelving rock, when a large body of earth from overhead fell, completely burying him to the depth of five and half feet. His partner, at the mouth of the shaft, immediately gave the alarm when a party of miners descended the shat to the ruin, and, with others at the windlass, exerted themselves nobly to extricate their comrade from his perilous situation. The task required above twenty minutes, and Molloy was found in an insensible condition, apparently dead.  After a short time eh was resuscitate, but his breathing was accompanied with great pain and spitting of blood. Molloy stated that, having been in a partially upright position at the time, his face was forced against the side of the shaft by the falling mass, leaving two or three inches of space around his mouth for respiration, and that he remained conscious of the most intense physical and mental agony until the working party came so near his body that hear one the shout, "He's gone! We can't reach him alive!"  At that instant he experienced an agony beyond description and was no more conscious until after his removal. He has now, he thinks, fully recovered from the effects of the accident.
