CIVIL PROCESS RESISTED BY NEGROES
MoutgCm ~, December Alarming excuses
have recently been committed by the blacks in
| Bullock's County, in the ueighborhood of Pc
rate The colored Loyal Lcaguers organized
aud resisted processes by the civil authorities
under instruction from colored emssaries.-
They formed a code Of laws to govern the ne
gro population, opened q court differed and
organized, arrestng by night all the blacks
| who opposed their unlawful proceedings, and
carried punishment so far that their victims
applied to the civil authorities for protection.
The black sheriff and his deputy were finally
arrested, but other insurrectonary leaders or
gauizai the negroes and made armed resistance.
Aid from other leagues was summoned, aud
the blacks flocked to Union Springs, threaten
ing general rising and determination Of the
whites, and taking possession of the Country.
The black leaders went 10 the plantations, and
forced the aborers to Join them for vengeance,
showing pretended orders from General Swavne
that they had a right to kill all resisting their
authority. During the excitement a negro
church at Perote was burned by some unknown
parties, alleged by the black leaguers to in
flame the negroes. The whites universally
regret it. The white citizens have organized
for protection.
General Swaync was appealed to, and sent
a detachment Of troops promptly to the scene
Of trouble TO restore order. Fifteen black in
surrectionists have been arrested and lodged in
JAIL to be tried by civil authority. At the Last
accounts order was restored, and all was quiet
