FiIn BATTLE Of LEEsBuRG Fa,flter, Particulars
DIR. Geo. w. Stewart, Of Madison county, Miss,
mas placed us in possession of some interesting in
formation connected with the battle, gathered from
soldiers who participated. Itappears thata report
reached Gen. Evans that the Federals were cross
ing the river at Edwards Ferry on Monday morn
ing. and the Thirteenth Mississippi Regiment was
sent down from Leesburg to keep them in check :;
and under the belief that the heaviest portion OF
the enemy's forces would cross at that point, the
Eighteenth Mississippi followed. 1t turned out
however, that another place was chosen by the
enemy some two miles higher up the river, where
the channel is from lT5 to 200 yards in width and
moi fardable They crossed in fatboats and skifs,
and the first engagement was between the Eighth
Virginia Regiment and the advanced columns of
the foe The skrnishing continued with eonsidera-
Bile severity for some hours and the Eighteenth
Mississippi, hearing the firing, marched in double
quick time to the scene of action, the Thirteenth
remaining at Edwards Ferry to prevent the enc
my s crossing there and executing flank move
meat.
The grand aud closing fight Of the day took place
about o'clock p. NJ, when the Iaederals made a
desperate stand on the bank Of the river. In a
Clear space between two groWths OF forest, our
three regiments the Eighth Virginia and the Seven
teeuth and Eighteenth Missssippi-had the enemy
partially surrounded, forming sort of sei-circu
lar trap, from which the victims had nc means of
escape except by the river. or through the woods
on either side. The latter alternative was adopted
bEsome, who were afterwafd captured. The fight
ing now became terrible The contending forces
We're IN close proximity, and we are informed that
not only bullets and hayonets, but even bowie
knives were used with fearful effect upon the
enemy. The latter, irding they were overpower-
ed, made an effort to reach their boats, which
large number succeeded in doing; but the rush
was 80 gteat that several beats were overturned or
sunk, and the stricken soldiers were drowned
In large numbers Nc have no means of ascertain
Ing how many reached the island in the river; but
it is not so difficult to say how many failed in the
attempt. Those who were left on the shore then
laid down their arms and surrendered, and this
terminated the battle s9

the following, taken from letter from

A Negro Hanged in milwaukee.

On Friday evening last two negroes assaulted
two white women in Milwaukee, and attempt
ed violence to them. Their outcries brought
citizens to their relief, and the negroes stabbed
three of them, one fatally. The negroes were
arrested and put in Jail.
A person from Milwaukee brings the follow
ing further news to the Chicago Journal of last
Monday evening)
Early last night a number Of citizens went 10
the Jail and demanded the custody of the ne
groes, threatening to tear the building down and
take them ont il they were not quietly surren-
dered. Sheriff, fearing trouble from the SUPER
iority Of the numbers of the crowd, gave the
prisoners into their charge.
Arrangements were quickly perfected and one
of the negroes was soon hanging by the neck
from IN awning frame. or some other convenient
improvised gibbet. The other, seeing the
hopelessness of his cause, made a mighty effort
and released himself from the mob. He was
pursued but eluded their search. Our in form
ant learned that at later hour in the night the
fugitive was recaptured by the police and lodg-
ed IN jail. 1t was supposed that the citizens
would again demand him and deal with him as
summarily as with the first one.
The city is full Of excitement and all blacks
nre commpelled to remain perfectly quiet The
indignation extends in measure TO the whole
race and is only kept in suboction by the con-
slant and powerful efforts Of the more influential
and prominent citizens.

Remark able Case of Poisoning i'm
Michigan.

The entire family OF Mr.. Sutherl and Of Pipe
stou township in Berrin county, Michigan. were
poisoned at breakfast few days since. Soon
after breakfast all were taken sick and were so
sick as TO be unable TO leave their beds or COM
municate with the neighbors. About IL o'clock
n neig ghbor passing and observing no stir called
in and discovered the sitution of things Medical
aid was summoned and the fact of poison diseov-
cred. and remedies applied. The family sup
posed the water only was injected. and without
further investigation meal was prepared for
tie Physician, DR.. Fowler, of which young.la-
dy,a neighbor. also partook and both were made
sick. Investigation then showed that the well.
the spring. the -four, lard, butter. DC. had been
filed with arsenic. The young lady recovered
but the Doctor in n day or two died. Mean
while the baby of Mr.. S. died, and another child.
at last accounts, was in a critical situation. In
all eleven persons were. poisoned.
Suspicion fell on negro named Shoemaker
living near by, and it was ascertaincd when and
where the negro had purchased arsenic. The
st. Joseph Traveller says the crime arises from
revenge because the Sutherland family would
not treat the negro as an equal, and the partic-
ular slight was in not inviting the negro to a
"raising."
Lynch law was threatened the negro after he
was arrested and rope made ready for his neck,
but the officers eludcd the populace.

or to them. They have proved that if there
is much gold in Wall street, there is more
patriotism there-(cbeers)-not summer
patriotism that fourishes amid the paeans
of vistory, but patriotism which strug-
giles, and sacrifices and suffers, and is pre-
pared to put all things to hazard, even in
the winter of adversely and in the very
hour Of national defeat. Unless this coun-
try can thus feel, the sun of our national
life, which is now obscured, must 90 down
forever amid storms and darkness.
If with all our natural resources; if,
with our known and acknowledged physi-
cal superiority over the rebels, if, with
our clamorous and profuse avowals Of de-
votion to our institutions, we suffer that
rebellion to triumph over as, do verify

become a stencil in the nostrils of the
world, and that an American citizen would
not be permitted TO walk the streets of

utter word on such subject, would
earnestly counsel forbearance and patience

the whole field of action, and may not be
in condition to judge, to appreciate the
difficulties that are TO be overcome.

millions of people, cultivated, loyal, cour-
ageous-twenty millions of the Anglo
Saxon race, bearing the names of the he
roes of the Revolution. and passing their
lives amid the inspiration Of its battle
fields-will ignominiously suffer their in
stitutions to be overturned by ten millions
nearly half of whom are helpless slaves
with fetters on their hands. (Applause.)
No page of history so dark and so humil-
iating rs that has yet been written of any
portion of the human family; and the
American people had better, far better,
have never been born than that they should
live TO have such a history written Of them
selves.

Carrying the War into Africa.

General Fremont's proclamation declaring

since the rebellion commenced. By il. in accor-
dance with the confscation act passed by the

found with arms in their hands, are liable to
have their property confscated and their slarcs.

Path finder is calculated to strike terror TO the
heart of every rebel stakeholder, and will either
nerve him to more desperate deeds in behalf o.

calculated to have the happicst effect ana sub
