attempted to be made. A man by the
name of Cherry, living in Blackjack,
missed some bacon, and discovered FOO
leading from his meat house to q
cabin in which Edmund Jackson, a ne
gro, lived. Cherry accused Jackson OF
robbing his meat house, and told him that
must desist in future from commtStin
such acts, else he would enforce the Jaw
him. Jackson became very
enraged, and abused Cherry in an
.outrageous manner and at the same
time a son of Jackson's presented a
and bursting q cap at him. On this
of affairs a writ was sued out by
Cherry and placed in the Sherifs hands.
The sheriff met with armed resistance
in his first attempt to take
Jackson and son, being fired on by con-
csaled negroes. On Sunday, the Sheriff,
attempted to arrest the parties.
A portion of the posse was at Oherr US
house, when it was approached by twelve
or fourteen negroes armed with guns,
who fired into the house. Then, a we
have stated above, q regular engagement
took place, in which, however, no one
was killed. Five whites and four negroes
were wounded, HARRISON, a white man,
severely. The negro, Edmund Jackson,
was wounded pretty severely in the taee,
having eye shot out. Nearly all the
negroes engaged in the affair have been
captured and are lodged in jail. Several
were destroyed on Monday night
fire and the negroes ordered 70 leave
the neighborhood-
