CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Desperate Rolc al Negro Camp meeting One
Man Killed. and Several others Severely found
ed. row of the most desperate and deadly
character occurred about IL o'clock on Tues
day night last, at the colored Bethel Camp
Meeting, held en- the land of nv. Freeman, in
Baltimore County, about six miles from this
city and near the village of Franklin. The
origin Of the affair at this time is difficult to ar
live at. We learn that one of the parties "a
colored man Of course,l was arrested by the au-
thOritcs of the Camp on Monday night, for
rotous and dsorderly conduct, and kept in con-
hnement until a proper disposition could be
made of him. His confinement created consid-
cradle excitement and il-feelng upon the part
of his associates, who determined, at all haz-
ards, to procure his release. On the following
night (Tuesday) party of about one hundred
came to the meeting armed with all manner Of
deadly weapons, among which were pistols
knives and fence rails. About Il o'clock they
made an attack upon the meeting, and a des-
peratc fight ensucd. A man named Rodgers
who was in the employment of gentleman
living near Franklin, received pistol ball in
his mouth, producing wound, which has since
caused his death. Another, named Henry Hol-
liday, was severely and dangerously cut over
the eye by blow from club, third had
his ear entirely cut off, and several Others were
more or less injured. The following negroes
charged with being participators in the riot
were yesterday arrested by officer Stockett-
Geo. II, Gross, Tobias Williams, James folly,
George Commodore, Franklin Evans, James
Larkins and Jacob Wright. They were taken
before Justice Schaefler who committed Gross
and Larkins to jail for trial, and released the
others on bail for further examination, to take
place or! Wednesday next. The officers are
still on the look out for others, and il is eYpec-
ted that many arrests will be made to-day.
R,.mored Outrage. Coroner Hooper was call
ed yesterday morning to see the body of fe-
male negro child, about whose death there was
some mystery; with his usual promptness, he

upon ascertaining from the attending physi-
clans, Drs Hall and Patterson, that the child
had died of scarlet fever, he dismissed the Jury
The opinion of the attending physicians was
corroborated by that of Doctors Leonard and
Yates, whose attendance with tho Jury, had
bsen requested by the Coroner. 1t had been
rumored that an outrage had been committed
on the child by a negro man, a short distance
from the city, in Baltimore county.
