an hour seventy-iive or a hundred ne
groes, armed with guns and pistols,
collected and paraded the streets OF
Macon, cursing and swearing they
wonld have Boswell and lynch him, OF
hold the citizens responsible. During
the excitement and confusion which
ensued, the negroes broke into and
robbed several stores. Several parties
of them searched a number of houses
for Roswell, threatening death if add
mittance was denied. The sheriff was
called upon, with the results as stated
in former dispatch.
Since the fight between the Sheriff's
posse and the negroes Monday, several
