SKIRMISH AT FRANKLIN.

LAWRENCE, X. T., Thur.day, June 5, 1856.
We have just learned of an sbortive attempt on
the part of the FreeState men to take the Town
Of Franklin last night. A considerable company of
the Buford Regulators have been congregated
there for a week back they have one cannon.
A company from toward Palnyra' came up to
take the place. They sent for assistance A small
company of men from this place, fifteen in number
welt down to help them. The attack was to be
msde on hour before day, and the boys from this
quarter at that time began the attack. They soon
got possession of the streets, but the Pro-S'avery
men had been apprised of the attack, and after re
ceiving them with a discharge from their big gun
and small arms they took refuge in the houses.
The other Free-State Companies never came up,
and the small party have mentioned kept the
streets, the firing lasting for half an hour Ii was
very dark Finding that the other companies were
not coming up and that they must make danger
GUS attack on every separate house, after exhibit
Jig the utmost courage and GOODNESS they with
drew, not having force enough. l can get no par
tculars. In fact, few of those there knew much
about it. 1t was badly planned. No Free.State
men we're killed, which is the more wonderful, as
they were exposed to fire from the houses all the
time
