negro militia companies are being raised and
sent to the scene of the disturbance. Our in

they met at Philip Bar one company or negro
militia, at Helena an other, both on their way TO
Cross county, where they will march up Crow

manded by the notorious Hawkins, and has
committed all sorts of outtages. We are in
formed that they robbed and plundered the
people Unfortunately OF everything they
could lay hands on, horses and mules espe.
cially. They have committed several murders,
and threaten with death all who remonstrate
at ALL

crew have threatened to seize Colonel d. G.
Cross and put him to death. Luckily Colonel
Cross Is out of the reach of him. Many of the
oldest citizens have been compelled to leave
their homes, and those that have not have been
seized and held as prisoners aud hostages. Like

to save thems elves from being attacked. We
await further news with great interest"
