A dispatch from New Iberia, La, of the 7th
inst. says:
ga courier from the citizens camp reports
three Metropolitans killed and four wounded,
within two squares of the Courthouse,
where Col. Badger has concentrated his forces.
Citizens are collecting from every portion of
Attakappas. Most of the recruits are of the
better class and we'll mounted, and generally
armed with breech-loading shot-guns. So far
the young men, principally, have gone to the
field. Married men in the towns are watching
the negro organizers, and are preparing to
Illustrate them. Captains of steamboats, have
been warned not to transport Metropolitans,
and consequently did not bring those at the
bay, knowing that their boats would be blown
up. The entire Bayou Teche is under sur
v~eillance by we'll organized bodies of citizens"
Eight Metropolitans arrived at Brashear
City on the It'll, making 4S in all. The citizens
refused them all shelter, and they were COM
PEELED to stop in a small negro cabin crowded
with negroes. They could get no ~transporta-
ton to st. Martinsville, all the boats being
guarded by armed citizens.
New Orleans dispatches of tLo 7th give the
following
The excitement prevailing throughout the
city was increased this evening by a report that
Kellogg had been shot. The report was I'M
tIuo; DuC IL appears Ilag d pIStOl was ufeQ near
him, and some reports say at him.
The Superintendent of Morgan's Texas rail-
road makes the following statement This
morning a detachment of police took charge
of and picketed the wharf of the Texas Rail
road Company, interfering with business and
creating alarm. Irebuked Flanagan, who was
in charge of the police, and sent word to
Kellogg expressing disapprobation of their
conduct. At half-past 4 o'clock Kellogg called
at the Office, corner of Natchez alley and
Magazine street, to explain the matter. While
doing so his carriage, at the door, was imme-
diately surrounded by a large, excited crowd,
who commenced jeering and denouncing him.
Just as Kellogg's carriage was being driven of,
some one in the crowd fired a pistol. The
driver Immediately piled the whip, and drove
through Natchez alley at a furious pace.
The young man who fired the shot was about
three PAGES behind the carriage as it turned
into Natchez alley, followed by a large and
jeering crowd. 1t penetrated the back of the
carriage. The man was well dressed, very
quiet. and very collected.
All the city papers condemn the action of
the mob in breaking into the Government
stores last night, and Gov. McEnery has issued
an address of a similar purport.
The Picdyuae's New Iberia special says A
sharp engagement took place to-day at st.
Martinsville. The police, about 2:15 p. M,
made a sortie from the town, attacked the
forces of Col. Deblanc, who fell back before
them. The police fired both solid shot and
shell from the cannon, but without effect.
They advanced about a mile and "a half beyond
the town and made a stand, but retreated
after a brisk skirmish before the forces of Col.
Deblanc.
United States troops have been dispatched
from this city to st. Martinsville, to take the
place of the Metropolitans.
