Benjamin H. Helm to P. S.—Since writing the above we have received from Rev. G. E. Moule a copy of the order of arrest which is herewith inclosed. It will be seen that there are ten names included instead of eight. Those marked 0 have already been arrested; the others are said to be absent from, the city or in concealment.

Note .—The copy of the order of arrest, being little more than the names of the accused, is not sent to the Department. F. F. L, September 3, 1872
