A Bloody Afray-Seyeral Persons Killed
Gen. Forrest.

CAIRO, Jan. 29.-Last Friday, at Sulphur
Springs, Williamson county, two lately returned
soldiers INDUCED in drinking freely, and then
armed themselves and commenced to hunt up
democrats, whom they denounced worse than
armed rebels. They finally swore they would kill
them all and commenced mqrderous attack on
boy. Ward and the boy defended themselves
bravely, when the two rowdies retreated for rein
forcements, and few citizens and some respect
able soldiers went to Wards defense
The soldiers returned, and again commenced at
tack. They were repulsed, and two were killed
dead and six badly wounded. Those that were
killed were VIM. Burton and Mcmahon, the origi-
nal starters of the disturbance. A citizen named
Dalvan and Ward were wounded. The conduct
Of Mcmahon and Burton is condemned by every
good citizen, especially all respectable returned
soldiers. At latest accounts all was quiet in the
country, and the people were united in the de.
termination that no more such bloody and fatal
affrays should occur.
Gen. w. B. Forrest having heard, upon what e
supposed reliable authority, that the Secretary OF
War had issued an order for his arrest and deporta
ton to Washington for trial by military court
has fed the country, and, it is supposed has gone
to MeXico.-[ Missouri Republican.

From the Texas Observer
The Freedman's Complaint.

] am dying-Andy--dying!
Corn and bacon will not last,
And the dark Plutonian shadows
Gather on the evening blast
Issue rations to support me,
Not working orders-bow thine ear
Listen to the frecdman's secrets,
Not for thee alone to hear.
Though overseer and driver
Raise on high the lash no more,
Though Old Abe Limkum's proclamation
Lands me safe on freedoms shore,
Though no irons now surround me,
To make me do the white mans will,
Yet I'm SICK and faint, and hungry,
And there's nothing left to steal.
Lot not Southern servile minions
Mock the lion thus laid low;
Twas no foemans hand that felled him,
Twas the Bureau dealt the blow.
Here then, pillowed on this bosom,
Ere too late, this freedman say
"Give me rations, give me franchise,
Ere the life tide GIBBS away"
Hank We, Howard, tell the rabble,
Who demand that | should sweat,
"That my noble spouse, poor Dinah,
Weeping in her lone retreat,
Has had dreams, the gods have told her,
Alters, augurs, circling wings
That our blood with Yankees mingled
Yet shall mount the throne of kings"
As for all those freedmen Knockers,
Home and foreign, rank and file,
Light their paths to Stygian horrors
With the splendors of thy smile;,
Give the freedman crowns and arches,
Let his brow the laurel Irvine,
can scorn all labor contracts
Triumphing in love like thine.
Yes, Pm dylng-Andy-dying!
Hark, the insulting Provosts cry!
They are coming quick, my falchion,
Let me front them ere | die.
Now no more, mid desoation,
Shall my name contention swell;
Phillips, Sumner-devil take ye!
Brownlow, Hamilton as well

Mr.. Editur, under such varygated scenes we
reported progress, and, in course of time, az
rived under the shadow of thy sitty's wings,
aboundin in gratitood and joy.
With sweet and patient sadness, the tender hearts
Of our wives and daughters beat mournfully as
moved along. Often alas, how often, was the tear
seen swimming in the eye, and the lip qulvering
deserted homes and thoughts dwelt upon past
enj0yments and future desolaton. We plucked
wild flowers az we passed, sang songs of merri-
ment, exchanged wit with children-smothering
by every means, the sorrow of our fate. These
things, together with the comck events that
okkurred by the way, were the safety valves
that saved the poor heart from bursting. But for
our hearts ariver of tears. Oh, if some kind friend
would set our retreat to musick, it would be
greatly appreciated, indeed. 1t should be plain.

Our retreat was konducted in excellent good Or

have delighted Gen. JOHNSON to'haye seen the
aakrity of our movements. The great struggle
of our contest seemed to be, which army could

LONDON, Aug. 2s.-Ths Morning Post
Jays Napoleon has extended the time for
the French evacuation Of Mexico to Janu-
AIRY.
LONDON, Aug. 20, Evening--Consuls
closed a. sol for money. Fivs-twenties
500.
The Paris correspondent Of the Morning
Post says the Empress Charlotte has go
far succeeded in her mission in behalf OF
Macmillan as to obtain from the Emperor
Of France an extension Of time in which
to pay the French Government the ten
million francs due. Napoleon refused to
loan Macmillan ten million francs to pay
for the equipment Of troops in Mexico,
but will assist in such equipment BY fur
nishing material from French magazines.
The Empress also obtained from Napo-
leon an extension Of time until next jan
uary for the evacuation Of French troops
from Mexico.
PARIS, Aug. 20, Evening.-Current ru.
mors in relation to Mexican matters are
very conflicting. The most probable re-
ports appear to be that the Empress Car.
lotta will return to Mexico and that q
French officer is to command the Mexican
troops organized by Macmillan. Tit
name OF the General is not stated.
