BLOODSHER IN NEW ORLEANS,

New ORLEANS, May 19.-Until last night the
adjoining suburb OF Jefferson City, though
includel in the Metropolitan Police Dis
trict, has resisted by force every attempt Of
the Metropolitan Police to assert their iurisdie-
tion. Last night, however force Of three
hundred Metropolitans, in charge OF a captain,
were detailed to take charge Of Jefferson pre-.
cinct. and made movement about 10 O'clock
on the municipal buildings of Jefferson, winch
we're filled wit a armed citizens. A small bat
tie ensued. in which twelve or fourteen of the
Metropolitans were wounded, two dangerous
ly, after which the police retired. Governor
Yarmouth called on General Mower for the
aid of the United States troops, and company
was furnished, who took possession OF tho
Jefferson Market House this morning without
opposition, and installed the Metropoitans.
The Metropolitans then proceeded to re-
venge their defeat of last night upon unoffend-
ing bystanders, number Of wh.m were bad
ly beaten with clubs. Ctlzens were arres ted
indisor.minately. The violence If the Metro
polltans was entirely unprovoked. Much ex-
citement prevails in J.ferson, and the troops
still remain there.

THE CoTroN Crop IN GEoRosA.--The Quit
man (Ga.) Banner of the 13th instant says:
Mr. r. II. Renfrow was in our Office on Wed.
nesday. aad Informed us that his cotton was
looking remarkably we'll, and on . recent ex-
animation he discovered '.forms' in abuu-
dance. This ia much better than we expected;
for the recent cold nights have had tendency
to retard the growth OF cotton.
Per contra. the Early County (Ga.) News
says:
We hear great complaint hom the farmers
Of every part OF this section that the cotton
plant is dying in considerable quantities. II
is thought IN many p.acss, as seed is scarce.
that the cotton will be ploughed up and corn
planted IN it's stead The heavy rains and cold
snaps have greatly injured cotton, and the
d.mlge is being apparent under the influence
of warm weather.
The Albany News. OF the 14th instant. says
We are assured by planters who know more
from experience than Gil the theorists in the
world about the caterpillar, that 1t has made
It's appearance ia this section, and That from
heir knowledge OF It's or'ain, progress and
ravuges, the most serious apprehenslons may
be felt for the safety OF the present crop.

TRAGEDY IN NEWMAN. GEoRa1A.-A lamenta-
BILE homicide occurred in the Town OF Mewan,
Georg a, on Sunday last. 1t seems that there
had been game OF base ball played IN which
the umpire was Hinton Wright, sou Of the Hon.
w. F. Wright, and Ed ward Robinson was one
oftbe principal players. In rendering the de,
decided against HIM unjustly. This lead to an
alteration upon the ground, without any. ser-
ous result. The young men parted and did
not meet any more until Sunday; when both
attended the Baptist Church at Newan. After
service the young men were the Arst to leave
the CHURCH. AS soon as they were outside an
altercaLlon arose between them, in which
Robinson was shot dead by Wright. Four
shots we're fred. all OF which took effect in or
near the heart Of the unfortunate young man.
Wright was immediately taken IN charge by
the marshal Of Newman and taken to the hotel
but he managed to make his ESQ ape, and at
last accounts was still at large. The ,mpres.
sion was that he would give himself up as
soon as he shall have communicated with his
father, who was on his plantation at the time
OF the homicide. Both OF these young mer
belonged to highly respectable families. Both
families were ON the most inrim ate terms
OF age.
