Throughout the country districts Of Lou

even more heavily upon the people, if pos

letter addressed to a gentleman OF this

parishes Of thai State:
'.Our State is really p0verty-strickeIi.
The charity of the 1.oTld and Government

ROBBED on THE ROAD.
an Adventure with Highwaynen
Near Hat Springs, Arkansas.

To the Union and Americans:
IIoT SPRINGS, ARK, Sept. Is, 1S74.-I
left your city on the l2:}O train via the
Nashville. ~. Louis and Chattanooga Rail-
road on the 10Th inst, and on the evening
Of the I7th reached Malvern, on the Cairo
and Fulton Railroad, and there, in COM
pauy with about nine or ten Others, took
the FL Paso stages for this place, and jour
neyed without any mishap until within two
to two and a half miles Of here, we no
ticed that two Of the stages in advance Of
US had stopped, and upon arriving within
twenty TO thirty feet of these, we were very
uncerCmoniOuSly stopped by two practiced
highwaymen who commanded in IN
miStakable terms that myself and
companion, DR.. ]. 5. Jones, of Memphis,
deliver our arms, and upon being assured
that we had no arms, We were then COM
maDded TO get out of The stage and with
pistols cooked and presented TO our heads
we were commanded to deliver up our
money, watches and valuableS, all of
which demands were promptly complied
with. Upon alighiing, we were after being
relieved Of our valuables, escorted to
where the fist stages were halted, there
we found the resi- Of our passengers corral
led and we were disposed of in like man
her. Fortunately there was but one lady
in our party and she was not molested in
the slightest degree but allowed TO retain
her seat in the stage. We were detained
on the road fully three quarters OF an hour,
it was about ten o'clock last night when
this occurred and we arrived here abOutquar-
ter past eleven and Immediately upon our
arrival here the Deputy Sheriff summoned
a uoSsa and started i'm DurSUit. and this
evening, news reached here that the rob
bers had been heard from and the sheriff
and posse were on the right road. The
robbers SwOpped the horses or ponies they
had been riding and took in lieu like
number Of horses out Of the stages. Our
crowd was relieved Of about one Thousand
dollars in cash and five gold watches-two
Of The latter they, however, returned-one
in the belief That il was only common
"pinchbaCk" concern, and the other, on
account Of its having Masonic emblem
attached To The cham. These men were
undoubtedly practiced in the profession,
and although it Was your correspondents
first experience among highwaymen, il is
due these 10 say that they were quite DO
lite and wogld undoubtedly dangle grace
fully from a limb-and il is To be hoped
that at no distant day we may have the
pleasure of knowing that "Jhey left here
kicking at the United States" The citi-
zenS here offer one thousand dollars re-
ward.
The robbers were not masked or in any
wise disguised, and are supposed To hail
from the Indian Nation. If the sheriff and
posse are successful, Will notify you.
Yours truly, c. Il. JONES.

WHERE THE BLAME BELONGS.

There has been persistent effort on
the part Of Northern Republican jour,
l7nals TO make it appear that the citi-
zens, the supporters Of the McEnery
Government, were the aggressors In
the late conflict in New Orleans. Every.
where throughout the North the Re
publicans have been representing the
people as making armed war upon Kel-
logg and his minions, when the reverse
is the fact. It was a detachment of
Kellogg s standing army, known as the
Metropolitan police, that fired upon the
citizens without warning, and thus
brought on the bloody conflict. The
Near Orleans Pic0yIHe tells the story as
follows:
One thing should be remembered in
connection with the engagement OF
Monday. which resulted in the over
throw Of the Kellogg usuIpation, and
which seems So far to be entirely over
looked. Il was not the purpose Of the
citizens in turning out to force an en-
gagement. Their purpose was to Sc
cure the arms which were aboard the
steamship Mississippi, purchased by
and consigned TO them. As several
previous lots Of arms had been seized
and detained without authority, and as
the lot per the Mississippi were under
peril az seizure as soon as landed,
they determined TO turn out, march
down In force and take their arms.
They were intercepted 10y sthe police,
and fired on with artillery and musket-
". and then, and not till them, they
opened FIRE. The impression has gone
abroad that our people turned out to
make an attack, and strangely enough
that impression has been fostered by
some Of our papers and accepted by
our people This is a mistake. Ii the
citizens had been allowed to take peace
able possession Of their arms, they
would have retired without a shot. The
police precipitated the fight, and forced
an engagement. where only a demon
stration vas intended. .
1t IS also explained 10y the Picdylme
that this Metropolitan brigade, which
fred upon the citizens without warn
ing or provocation, was military or
gauization, which, in positive violation
of the Constitution of the United
States, had been kept as a standing
army inILouisiana for the last three or
four years. 1t was Thoroughly organ
lied and disciplined, armed with the
most approved weapons. and consist
ing Of cavalry, infantry and artillery,
who were mostly veterans, selected

with special reference to their military
qualities and experience. They were
commanded by officers who had
borne conspicuous parts in the late
war. There was no regiment in the
regular army in n better condition for
active military service. A formidable
detachment from this force with four
piecesof artillery andone ofthOsefearful
instruments of destruction, the Gatlin
gun, began, without warning, without
the usual commands for dispersal,
firing their cannon up one of the most
public streets of New Orleans, and dis
charging volleys of musketry on the
citizens. The latter were simply pro-
tecting their property from unlawful
seizure when they were fired upon by
Kellogg's soldiers. This was the IN
auguration Of the conflict which re-
suited in the killing and wounding of
over sixty persons.
