yesro Revolt In New Orleans

The New Orleans Be, OF the 5th inst contains
tae following account OF sanguinary revolt
among the negro slaves on the plantations near
that city:
About hsU. past one O'Clock yesterday morning
the Third District was the scene Of one of. the
aost desperate negro afairs which this city has
vet witnessed Shortly before that hour the DO
lice Of that District discovered coming along the
levec large band OF negroes, evidently runa-
Mays and determined TO carry out their schemes
AZ al hazards and costs. They were armed with
all sorts or weapons which plantations afford
Rom cane biu-hOOkS TO clubs .'.t
When they reached about Montegut street. the
police ordered them TO halt and proceeded to
enceayor to arrest them. Instead Of surrendering
thegselves, however, they Immediately attack
The police In the NEST ferocious manner. The
cticers Immediately called for further assistance
and were speedily reinforced, almost to the whole
strength on duty in the District; but so furious
were the negroes that they were in danger of
being completely overcome. Their clubs and
pistols wee freely used, hut so numerous was TIL
gang o. negroes that they were not equal to the
task Which had fallen on them
: 3y fhis time thu whele neighborhood was In a
slate Of terrible excitement, and assistance from
other quarters being absolutely necessary to save
the police, detachment Of military from ada
cent quarteTS haStenet TO the spot and lent their
aid. 1t did not take long after this to convince
The nagrOes that they were oveTpowered for three
~ them were soon killed, number desperately
wounded, anu the mass Of them scattered, some
forth -
The total number Of the band, IL would seem,
was something like a hundred and fftY; but they
were not all together at the time Of the police ac-
costing them. Thev had run of last night from
plantations down he coast. From one (that Of
Thomas Morgan, Esq, some thirty have run CT,
thirteen OF whom are now In the Parish Prison,
nine in the Charity Hospital, and one killed.
After the mastery had been obtained over the
gang. they were taken TO the Third District Po-
lice station; but Mr.. Hollander, the clerk, seeing
tho condition Of those above mentioned, consi-
derately sent them TO the Charity Hospital.
Besides the three killed and the nine wounded
negroes above mentioned, there are others also
mere or less hurt.
-Four of the police officers, we regret to learn,
are pretty badly injured.
We presume the coroner will hold an inquest
or the bodies OF tEe three killed negroes, " hen
we expect further and perhaps more accurate de-
tails
The affair has created great excitement through.
out the city, especially In the lower districts but
thiS Is nothing In comparison TO what exists In
tic country below. approximations of the gravest
Character are felt on all the plantations and mea-
sures for protection against the dreaded evils are
being most anxieusly canvassed.
