ATTEMPT TO AssAssINATE GOV. KELLOGG.
was increased BY the report that kellogg had
been shot. The report was untrue; but It ap-
pears that the attempt was made. In an inter-
view with PicayRne reporter last evening,
Governor Kellogg said: 81 left Mechanics In
stitute this afternoon in company with Captain
George l.. Norton, and went down Common to
Magazine street, turned up Magazine street to
Whitney's office, for the purpose of seeing Mr..
Hutchinson regarding some transportation, and
also regarding some complaints had heard he
lad made about his passengers being inter-
rupted this morning by the police. After con-
yersing with Mr.. Hutchinson a short time told
Norton he need not wait for me. He went OFF
and few minutes later left Mr.. Hutchinson.
On walking down the steps, just as i was about
going into my carriage, some gentleman stand
ing by asked me if my name was not Kellogg.
and answered yes. He spoke very hastily aud
know who it was that accosted him, but had
been since informed that il was a man named
Railey. He was fine looking, rather middle
aged man, of large stature. He spoke excitedly,
and used harsh language, saying, "You are
id scOundIel," and one or two other expires
sions of like import. The governor says:-"I
was in the act of getting into the carriage, and
L said to him, Il am not acquainted with you,
and don't know that have done ANYTHING to
offend you, SIR Some other person q short dis
lance Off raised his hand and shook his fist at me-
saying something l could not understand,
because my driver started the horses. As we
went around the corner from Magazine street,
heard a shot, and simultaneously felt the pas
sage of bullet BY my neck"
All the New Orleans papers condemn the
action Of the mob in breaking into gunshops
Tuesday night, and Governor McEnery has
issued an address of a similar purport. The
boats are all seized by the citizens, and the
United States troops are detained at Brashears
city, unable to proceed further for the want OF
transportation.

SHARP ENGAGEMENT
took place yesterday at ST. Martinville. The
police, about 2:15 p. m, made q sortie from the
town and attacked the forces Of Col DeBlanch,
who fell back before them. The police fired
both solid shot and shell nom their cannon, but
without effect. They advanced about q mile
and q half beyond the town and made stand,
but retreated, af,er brisk skirmish, before the
advancing forces Of the Col. DE blanche. Skirm.
ishing continued all day yesterday, but with no
serious result.
Another account says, exultantly: Badger
came out of town last evening with his Napoleon
twelve-p0under and about twenty-five men to
compel the citizens to submit. After firing a
few rounds he ives compelled to beat hasty re-
treat, large bodies Of citizens being on all sides
and rapidly closing in on him. The citizens are
in excellent spirits and want for nothing
Wagons are coming with supplies from ali
points, and DeBlanche can capture the town al
