NEW ORLEANS, May 8.
Hon. Geo. II. Williams, attorney General
Washington, ID. c.:
81 received warrants for the arrest
of DeBlanche and ten other leaders of the
insurrectionary organization at st. Mar
tinsville. The accused being in arms and
with strong force, deem it best to at once
execute the processes to preventth the further
effusion of blood and therefore made re-
QUESTION upon Gen. Emory for military
posse of forty men and two officers, which
were promptly furnished. Chief Deputy
Marshal DeKlyne left with the posse, ar
irving at Brashear City yesterday noon by
rail. The regular line of boats of Price,
Hine & Upper, carrying United States
mails at st. Martinsville, were withdrawn
before the arrival of Deputy Marshal
DeKlyne and laid up at Franklin and the
proprietors refuse the use of the boats.
There is no other water transportation
available there, but may be supplied in
short time through Gen. Emory. Gen.
Badger, commanding the State militia, has
been at st. Martinsville five days, whittier
he repaired to install local officers. This
parish was returned Republican by both
the Lynch and Warton Boards. Skir-
mishing has been going on and some
wounded on both sides. The latest news
is that Badger is holding the town and
protecting the court in session. He does
not intend to go out to attack DeBlanche's
force encamped two miles out of town, two
hundred strong, and they in turn, it is be-
lieved, are not strong enough to safely at
tack Badger in town. The arrival of the
Deputy Marshall with his posse will end
