Wounded unknown, over thirty
among them J. P. Champagne, Au-
guste Fretag, Charles Bergeron, Thi-
baut, Gonzales and others.
General Badgers wound is serious,
but not necessarily fatal. 1t he dies
it will be from loss of blood and not
from the wounds. He will certainly
lose his leg.
During the entire fight no negro
was killed. One metropolitan, mu-
latto, was wounded at the foot of Ca
nal street. 1t is more than probable
that the total killed will go as high as
100 and the wounded so, making a
total of killed and wounded of $50.
The news of the fight spread like
wildfire, and the
Widest RUMoRS
prevailed. Some had Kellogg sur
rendered, others Longstreet killed,
and do not know what all. 1t is a
fact, however, that when our boys
gave their old yell, which he had
heard many a time before, and under
more cheering circumstances to him,
Longstrect, who was out with the me-
tropolitans, beat a hasty retreat
BY night the city was in full posses
sion ofthe legally elected authorities,
with the exception Of the State House,
Arsenal and Third District Station.
1t was resolved by our men not to
any attack at night, and so, throwing
out their pickets they rested on their
arms until
f TUESDAY MORNING, @
when a demand was made for the sur
render of those places. The State
House was garrisoned by about 1900
of Kellogg's brag negro militia.
These men, after little parley, gave
up the place without blow and re-
tired, scattered, got out of the way.
AFTER THE FIGHT
on Monday assertions from the Me-
tropolitans were constantly going on.
They came in singly and in squads,
one body Of twenty-five surrendering
at one time. Although weakened by
these assertions, the commander of
the Third District Station made a
show of resistance, but finally sur
rendered and thus the
LAST vEsTIGE OF KELLoGG's AUTHoR1-
TY WAS SWEPT AWAY
in less than twenty hours after his
overbearing and confident Metropoli-
tans had fired the first shot.
| THE FEELING
on the streets was one Of unbounded
! Joy. Men met each other and shook
hands and congratulated each other,
smiles wreathed every countenance,
hope took an upward leap, confidence
seemed restored, the people breathed
free once more, business would come
again, prosperity would return. At
about twelve o'clock the citizen sold
iery, the State Militia, turned out in
GRAND PARADE
now fully armed and equipped, fol-
thousands of the finest rifles and mus
kets were captured with h e State
House and Kellogg's arsenal. They
had cannon too, captured from the en-
envy. AS they marched through the
street, four abreast, they presented
the finest appearance of any body OF
men that / have ever seen. The Uni.
ted States soldiers in the Custom.
House cheered each company of oul
troops as they marched by, and these
"boys in blue" seemed to enjoy the
downfall of the Usurper and the tri
umph of the people, as much as We
did ourselves. l should think oul
men numbered fully 5000. During
the whole of this time the negroes
have kept perfectly quiet, getting out
of the way of harm, and, and remain
!, ing at their homes. Those Of then
who have walked the streets however
have been lust as free to come and q
