A Bloody Array.

Our town and vicinity have been un-
der an intense excitement since Thurs
day last, growing out of the negro vic
lencs committed on the Edmunds fami-
y in the Bayou. The admission of the
negro to bail, and long series of often
ces which their neighbors have been
treasuring up against the colony Of
blacks, who live in the bottom some Eve
or six miles below town, had aroused
the people of the neighborhood to de-
termination to get rid Of the clan Of
blacks, at all hazards, and on Friday night
. preconcerted attack was made on them
and their dwellings by body of white
men. gathered, no one knows where,
numbering so or Is. The nsgroes-it
appears-were prepared for them, and
had armed themselves, and loop holed
their cabins. Which party made the
first assault or fired the first gun is not
known. About IL o'clock at night a
brisk fusilade was opened and kept up
for some minutes. after which rush was
made at the house, and the door broken
ir, when hand to hand struggle ensued
in which bowie knives, clubs, and oleav-
srs were the weapons used. Many or
both sides were severely cut and beaten
A man by the name of Alexander Mad.
dux received. three outs in the head
the shoulder, and arm. Another man
by the name Of Joseph Glass received q
ball in the head. Glass isreported dead
and Maddux is,in a very critical situa
ton. Alderman was shot in the thigh
aad had one Of his fingers shot of. Many
others were slighaly wounded. 1t wa,
exceedingly difficult to get at the truth o
the matter amid the excitement and con
f1icting statements. Both parties wer'
seriously beaten in the engagement, bu
we have not heard Of any fatal wounds
except those mentioned. An OLD
black woman, the mother of the family
received severe blow upon the heat
from gun stock, and q black boy wa
knocked down with pistol barrel. On
white man was severely cut on the heac
from blow with a cleaver which. left
large lock of his hair and pool Of bloos
on the floor. Lyle's house is half mill
from. the main road, in a secluded spo
in the woods. At the time Of the at
tack the blacks say there were but fiy,
or six black men in the house, the othe
inmates were eight or ten women ant
children. The house exhibited tn,
marks of rife balls ard charges of sho

say the persons shot received thei

was evidently forming to drive off or ex

UTAH.-Intelligence from Salt Lake |
to the I'd July has been received at st.
Louis. which represent the affairs of the |
territory to be in quiet and prosperous
condition. The news Of the intended |
military expedition did not seem to ex-
cite any very great alarm or interest
among the Mormons. The crops were
very promising. The emigrants met on.
the Plains. bound for Salt Lake, were in
good health, and making o. quick and
pleasant journey. The grass was-abua-
dant, and the stock in good condition.
Some very serious charges are made
against o. 8. officials, who had aban-
donsd their posts and come home to I'll
the country with complaints against the
Mormons. One of the assistants of the
fSurveyor General Burr has published a
statement. charging Burr with gross
frauds upon the Government, in receiv-
ing pay for work he never performed,
and for expenses never paid by him.
The assistant says he was to have had
a salary of $1,000 per annum, and signed
vouchers for that sum to be transmitted
to the Treasury, but he was allowed by
J the Surveyor only part of the amount
the difference being pocketed by the Sur
veyor himself. All the incidental expsn
ses OF the Surveyors Office have been
grossly exaggerated. In one instance,
he charges $1,000 clerk hire, where he
-. actually paid but $500. His other
charges were enlarged in the same ratio.
Contracts were made with man named
, Craig, who had mo knowledge Of survey
ing. to survey certain. districts, which
! surveys were made by the son of Burr
!, youth only Is years old, the pay fol
which-was taken by Burr himself, ani
