yesterday morning, we have tho follow
ing to add from the Washington Union
Of "Wednesday -
We learn that Yesterday morning,
about 8 o'clock, a gang of lhlrly-e'g h'
Of these negroes were discovered on the
Frederick road, about n fourth of q mile
beyond Rockville. Soon after the alarm
was given, the sheriff Of the county, ac-
companicd by posse of citizens OF that
village started in pursuit, and came wlIh'n
sigh, ofthem near Galhcrsville, six miles
from Rockville, The negroes then lett
The turnpike, striking into the woods, and
were followed closely by Capt. lack
son and six men, who, with the rest OF
The citizens, were all moantej. The
main body Of the pursuers under the
sheriff posted themselves where It was
thought the negroes WOULD again enter
the road. They, however, made their
appe arance in large field, f"urih OF
mile from where they had entered the
woods, and came TO stand. Capt
Jackson and his companions soon reach
I'D them TO surrender, which they refused
to do; and, closing their ranks, com
mencsd swapping pistols, with which
many Of then, were AIMED, at their pur-
suers Finding that their fire arms
could not be- discharged they commenced
| an ASSAULT with stones and bludgeons,
when Jackson fired and wounded one
slightly. The whole body then retreat
ed to swamp on the other side Of The
field. Soon afterwards, the main body
Of the citizens joined their companions
and, charging into The swamp, fired
voIlcy on the runaways, which wounded
eight-lour seriously, and one danger
ously. Twcnty-three immediately sur
rendered, and the rest made Off Those
who could walk were secured with ropes,
and marched into Rockville, and lod ged
in the county jail. The wounded were
conveyed there in a wagon. BY last
night, eight others have been secured
and lodged in the Jail with their compan-
ions. The rest are probably retaken ere
this. Some of the negroes say that
there is another gang Of thirty out, aud
others deny the statement. They c!oped
on Saturday last.
