SAVANNAH, August 13.
Yesterday afternoon serious riot took
place at ]. 8. Bryan's store, on the Ogeechee
River, betxeea Mr.. Bryan and two officers of
the law oh the one side, and large mob of
negroes, inflrlated with liquor, on the other
sside. resolute sherif's posse has to-day
gone 10 the scene OF, the disturbance with the
determination to enforce the law.
Mr.. F. K. Canuet, ansoficer of the district,
who returned from the scene OF the riot this
morning, states the following facts:
Yesterday afternoon, at about three O'Clock,
at the instance of J. 8. Bryan, Justice N.
King issued q warrant against negro by the
name Of Morgan Anderson. The warrant was
placed in the hands of Officer Canuet, and
with Officer Otterman and Mr.. Bryan he went
to the store of Ben. Davis, where Anderson
was, and served the warrant, but not without
much resistance on the part of Anderson.
A notorious negro by the name of
Butler King then intertered with the
officers 10 the discharge of their duty,
attacked Mr.. Otterman, struck him several
times and feled him to the ground
with a stick. Canuet stepped back and lev
elled rs pistol, but it missed fire. He was
then struck three times on the back OF his
head by Butler King, who endea vored to gel
his pistol from him but did not succeed. Otter
man, having gained his feet, commenced fr'
ing. Three shots in all were fred, and each
took effect. Anderson and King fell, both badly
Gnnded. The crowd of negroes by this time
Id increased fearfully, and Mr.. Bryan was
badly beaten. The officers, seeing the
pressure too great, jumped into their
N8gles to return to the Office of JUS
tee King. They thought 1t advisable
to 60 by way of bridge about ten
miles from this city, but there they were met
By q band of negroes armed with clubs and
pistols, who seized them and took them back
with loud shouts and threats of hanging them
if Anderson should die. Some more sensible
negroes now interfered In behalf of the
officers, and Lewis.J. Moody, a colored justice
p Ahe peace, who had taken the dying deposi
Yl0h of Anderson, suggested that they bs
passed to his care. he urged the propriety O
letting the law have its course, and a
length succeeded in getting them on
of the hands OF the mob. Canuet ant
bis party returned to this city after being
badly used up. 1t is their firm belle
that they would have been killed had 1t no
been for the intercession Of Moody. Th'
house and store of Mr.. ]. 8. Bryan were taEel
possession of by the negroes and robbed
everything. Justice King had to leave hl
house. The negroes are gathering from ever.

of Morgan Anderson. The case will be brough
/. ND before Justice Moody In the morning.

The Savannah Republican has the following
account of o sad and singular drowning acci-

gore that plentifully sprinkled the scene
of action, wiped up, the member from
Colleton arose to privilege question;
He explained the circumstances that had
led to the row, and intimated that ten
PAGES and an ounce of Lead would set
t e the matter.
After the retirement of Mr.. Thomas,
Mr.. Samuel Green, member from
Beaufort, arose and said, that he under
stood that insinuations were being made
that those members who voted for Col
Patterson had been bribed t. do so: lie
defed any one to say so outside the bar
Of the house.
Mr.. Holmes moved that the gentle
man from Beaufort, Mr.. Hamilton, be
brought before the bar Of the House.
Mr.. Thompson moved to refer the
whole matter to a special committee.
Mr. Hamilton arose to explain. He
said that he was talking to the member
from Colleton in reference to the lax
Bill when that honorable gentleman had
said to him: You needn't t say anything:
because the action Of you niggers shewed
Yesterday what you are fit for brought
YOU an honest candidate, (Elliott,) and
instead of you voting Tor him, you al
lowed yourselves to be bought out by
Patterson I mean dat you nlggers sold

the member from Beaufort could stand,
and he forthwith proceeded to make I'M
lawful assaults upon his compatriot.
He was sorry only 50 far as he had
transgressed the rules Of the house, and
to the house he desired then and there
to apologize. But he never would per-
nit such an imputation to b. cast upon
him.
