I'procted.d early on last Sunday mo:
ming to the residence of Mrs Masters
near .Marksville, and there arrested a
man by the name Of James Dever just
from New Orleans. They met will, 10 re-
sistance from him, but willie they were
awaiting for the prisoner who was go
ing to 'akc his breakfast came in VIM
Edwards, L. JEFF. Edwards, Ant. Denis
and I. Battel who interfered in the mat
ter Of the arrestation. Both parties we're
armed with guns and revolvers and they
Immediately resorted to the free use of
them. The fght became general and Cy-
riaque Gaspard, young man of great
promise, fell dead willie he was aiming
..is gun at the agressors. Scott Gray. a
noble heart and-ail ardent patriot, got se-i
riously. wounded i'll several places, three
balls being still in his body. On the ag-
ressors side, VIM. Edwards was killed;
r. J. Edwards and Ant. Denis were
wounded, the former seriously are we
told. During the frigLtful scene, Dever
took sides against the representatives Of
order, and after having shot his. revolver
several times he made good his escape
in the direction Of Foulk's Landing Such
is, in a short sketch, TIE event tlrat has !
thrown so many families into sorrow
and desolation and created SO general an
Indignation among our people.
Our Military authorities called toge.h-
er the Militia Regiment and explored
the regions where they thought the
guilty parties had fed to. None yet have
been found, and there is no other arr.s-;
tation than that of some twelve men of
minor guilt, probably, and whose cases
have not yet been examined.
We will closely watch the course of
events, and, il. the meantime, We are in
hopes that those whose minds have been
leluded viii return to a better sence Of
b ir duties, and tlien, acting i'll con-
;ert, We the people of Aseyeiles viii.
