4 Fight Between Them and an Inde-
pen1HInt a1I FatroI-I2MGe 2MranSa.J Smfes

From the Washington Star Of Monday Evening. ]
On Sunday night some seyenty-fve slaves.
belonging 10 the neighborEood of Sonth river,
Anne arundel county, and Queen Anne's,
Prince GeoIgts county, hid, stao,peded,
taking with them 4 wagon and cart, With hor-
ses, and bringing with them portion Of their
effects. The putty left the first named neigh.
bo1lood about II o'clock at night, and tray
elled all night, at various points on the road
about seventy. five.
Yesterday morning they we're stopped near
tile tsLong Old Fields - 81 number Of men
styling themselves "patrols, armed with
shot guns and pistols, but the party of slaves
massed themselves md pushed on, the patrol
lsrs attempting to stop their progress and to
drive thf m fion the te,ms, and when about
one mile from Fort Meiss they fired into tho
fugitiyes, when it is said one Of the alayes re-
turned the fire, and several other shots were
fred, The party Of fugitives separated and
fled. and the patrollcrs also made OF.
Among the fueitives there we're TWO men
and one woman killed and five wounded, as
taken in charge and brought to the city, and
the company in different bands arrived here
Yesterday afternoon aud during the night
fifty having reported 1T the Contraband Camp
up to this morning. Some Of the wounded
are not expected to live One man received
four balls, in his head, face shoulder and hip.
The facts were reported to the authorities
at once, and detachment Of Scott's 900 yes
terday arrested John L. Gray on suspicion Of
being one Of the attacking party, and be was
brought to this city md committed to the
Old Capitol by the Provost Marshel. His
nc1ghbors, however, nsscrt that, although he
was near the party at the time Of tue attack,
he had no hand In 1t. Cavalry are yet out In
pursuit Of the ''patrollers,"
As one Of the gangs were passing up the
avenue to the Provost Marshars Office,
Mr.. ". D. Stewrrt, Of Anne Arundel coun-
ty, recognized among them ten Of hfs slaves,
and Immediately procured writ for their mr.
TEST under the provisions of the Fugitive
slaye law, from Commissioner Walter s. Cox,
and placed 1t In tho hands Of officers who
vent with him to Captain Todd's Office,
where the fugitiyes were, and showed the
writ, but Captain Todd refused to give them
up.
Tho shooting affair will be Investigated i'm
mediately.
On inquiry We find that most of them are
from Anne Arundel, ,tnearAnnapois Junction,
