While the immense British force was approaching
Louisians Gen. Jackson Learned that among its

excite The sentiment of loyalty IN the bosoms CT the
colored people CT that State. The condition OF affairs
was such thst not man could be spared from the

Tee Covert men, at Washington had left NewOr-
leans utterly without defense and the General had TO
avail himself OF al the means within bis reach TO get
together force strong enough to make resistance with

on the 2lst of September, 1914, he issued from his
headquarters al Mobile an addre:. To the Free Col
oIed Inhabitants of Louisiana in which be said:

UNsUCCFssFUL ATTEuPT TO CAPTURE FUGITIVE
SLAvEs.-On Tuesday ms'nng last eur tom was
thrown into much connection IN consequence OF an al
NEST successful attempt to csptore eight runaway
slaves for which rewards offered Of upward OF
$1,000. 1t seems that some time during Monday q
man come to Sheriff Green with the information that
he bad discovered eight runaway negroes, and hsd
arrar gements TO have them in Dover that night
the negroes suppoeing they were 10 be concealed in
town unt the rext night and hen webd their way up
ward. Accordingly about O'Clock on Tuesday morn
ing. the maI and the negroes appeared at the al
Willie the Sheriff dressing they sllentered the JAIL
went up stairs lin the dark, found an open room and
went into It, but there beiog no fire they came OUT Into
the entry. ~
By ,hi. time the Sheriff had dressed and followed
them up stairs supposiDg that he would find them In
one Of the rooms and that all he would have to do
would be to close and bolt the door. On discovering
that they all in the entry the Sheriff returned 10
bis room fer his revolver. The negroes anxious to get
TO fire. followed him down ana were all IN the Sher-
ifs room, where hi. vile aid children were asleep,
before be could seize bis revolver. BY this time the
suspoions CT one of the negroes were aroused, and
with the exclamation he didn't Ike the looks 90 de
place; lee gw inc out O. dis he boted for the window.
The Sheriff .eized him, and while engaged In the
struggle the rest Of the negroes burst through another
window and escaped, frst scattering the hire over
the floor, the standing trembling In the door
like the veriest veL-hearIed coward. The Sheriff
alarmed by his family and the FIRE, let 60 the
negle tor moment, when In an Infant ne bounded
through the window and was gone thus they all
escaped. Six Of them were tracked TO bouse IN
Camden but the officers could not enter for the want
of sufficient warrant which the magistrates sad they
had 10 power 10 give On Tuesday night, it is cur
rertly reported six conveyed TO the house OF
man residing near Willow Grove whence they were
waded up the country by the forest roads or rather
on the underground railroad. The other two we're
seen shortly after the escspe from the jail, going out
OF Dover in a Dortherly direction. The fault Of the
escape is attributable entirely to the boggshne's Of
the man who toed the negroes into Dover. Greedy
tba VIII reward he would a a

peeroe. were all armed with cudges and pistols. The
rewards offered for their apprehension vary frsm $500
