New York, May o.
New Orleans dispatches report that
threats to assassinate Gov kellogg are free
| ly made on the streets, and extra precau-
tons are taken to guard him from violence.
1t is believed an attempt will be made to-
day to stop the advance of the policemen
who left for st. Martinsvile, yesterday.
Only two metropolitans have so far been
wounded at st. Martinsville, officers Bruat
and Babylon, and none killed. One citizen
was wounded Col. LeIslanche in an Off
cial report to Gov. McEnery of the fight
Thursday, says: The attack upon him
was simply demonstration to ascertain his
numbers. The metropolitans fired but few
shots, and then returned to town. The
name of the young lady wounded was Miss
Aimee Col. LeBlanches headquarters on
Friday were on Cypress Island three miles
north of ST. Martinsvillc The island is
surrounded by Bayou Forte and Forte
Marsh, both impossible to man or horse,
and can he approached only by three mar
row bridges, which handful of men can
defend. The women and children in the
vicinity of Martinsville have not generally
left their residences. Col. Badger thinks
himself perfectly capable of making safe
retreat, should it become necessary to do
so. Nine assertions are reported from his
command. The stores in Martinsville are
nil p1ncpI aud IF lo psx-;Isana hox
left. Most of LeBlanches forces are well
mounted. Badgers are all on foot. Le-
Blanche thinks he could easily cut off
Badgers retreat if disposed to do so.
Another dispatch from New Orleans says
Col. LeBlanche has surrendered to the
United States forces, but the Kellogg mill
tia declare that they will never surrender.
The federal troops in the city are held in
readiness to move at moments notice.
Gov. Kellogg, Gen. Longstrcet and Col
Badger have been indicted by the McEnery
grand jury for instigating the movement of
the metropoltans. Chas. p Raney, ar
rested on the charge of firing the pistol at
Gov Kellogg, has been released on five
thousand dollars bail. 1t is reported that
no less than twelve Richmond citizens have
been marked for assassination.
WARRANTS FOR TIE ARREST OF THE LEAD
ERs.
WASHINGTON, May o.
The attorney general has received the
following dispatch from Marshal Packard:
NEW ORLEANS, May 8.
Hon. Geo. II. Williams, attorney general:
received warrants for the arrest of De
Blanche and ten other leaders of the insur-
rectionary organization at st. Martinsville.
The accused being in arms and with strong
force, deem it best to at once execute the
process to prevent further eifusion OF
blood, and therefore made requistion up
on Gen. Emory for military posse of
forty men and two officers, which were
promptly furnished. Chief Deputy Mar
shall De Klyne left with the posse, arriv-
ing at Brashear City yesterday noon by rail.
The regular line of boats of the Prince Hill
Topper company, carrying the mails to
St. Martinsville, were withdrawn before
the arrival of Deputy Marshal De Kl,'-o,
and laid up at Frankyn, and the proprie-
tors refused him the use of the boat.
There is no other water transportation
available there, but it may be supplied in a
short time through Gen. Emory. Gen.
Badger, commanding the State militia, has
been in st. Martins five days, whittier he
repaired to install the local officers. This
parish was returned Republican by both
The Lynch and Wharton board. Skirm-
ishing has been going ION, 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 and attack DeBlanche's
force, which is encamped two miles out,
and is two hundred strong and they in
turn, it is believed, are not strong enough
to safely attack Badger in the town. The
arrival of a deputy marshal with his posse
will end the contest
S. b. PACKARD, U. S. Marshal.
