One Of the parties headed by Col. Arm

negroes, menti ,ned in our last issue, came
across the negroes on Tuesday afternoon,
in the neighborhood OF Davistown, Greene
county Pa, which is few miles south
{wes) Of the road from Morgantown 10
Carmichaels. There were about nine
persons in COL Armstrong; party. The
negroes en,renched themselves upon
stony piece Of ground in field. Col. AS
party attacked them, leaving their horses
outside the fence. About the time the
battle conn enced, the majorityof Col.
AS party considering 'discression as
the better part Of valor,' commenced
a retreat, leaving Col. A. and one or two
others 10 contend with the whole parry.
They fought with clubs, stones, pistols,
corn cutters, and everything else that
could be made available. Finding that
they we're about TO be overpovered, and
Col. A. in a very exhausted condition,
the remaining few also relreated, leaving
the field to the negroes. They followed
Col A. yelling and shouting, damn him,
kill him, By this time he was all alone,
and hardly able to walk, when he was at
tackled by large negro named Harrison,
who was armed with large corn cutter
Harrison, (lhe property Of Mr.. Runnel's,

Corn cutter. which was very dull Tht
Col. grasped itin his hand, warding the
Iforee Of the blow from his head. The
Col. appealed of one Of his own negroes
Dave, 10 save him from death. Dave in
terfered in behalf Of his master, and hi
i life was saved. Col. A. was taken OF
the field in fainting condition. Darl
coming on shortly after the skirmish, tn
negroes escaped, and nothing has beel
heard Of them since. Col. A. was bro
to Morgantown next day, and is at MI
Walaces National House, doing as wei
as could be expected. His hand is sc
verely wohnded, phe finger nearly off an
