The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1875-12-11

Chicago, Dec. 10.-A special to the
Times from Vicllsburg, Miss, says
that news has just reached that city of
II bad state of affairs at Rolling Fork,
thirty miles above Vicksburg. Two
weeks ago u personal difficulty be-
tween white man and negro, re-
suited in the latter being wounded.
Shortly after, body of negroes went
to II store where the white man had
concealed himself, knocked down the
doors and shot him, and beat him
cruelty afterwards. Several negroes
engaged in this outrage We're arrested,
and ain attempt at escape led to the
wounding of quite a number, of both
whites and blacks, and the commu-
nifty was kept in constant apprehen-
sion of an outbreak until Mnnday,
when information was received that
the negroes were arming in large
numbers to march upon the whites
who were unprepared. The colored
intended insurrection and authorized
large number of whites TO act as a
posse to arrest and disperse the armed
bands of negroes. The whites, num-
bering seventy-five, under command
of Col. Ball, met the negroes, num-
bering two hundred, commanded by
Noah Parker, near Hunts Place, and
battle ensued, in which the colored
commander and one of his captains
named Arthur McBrooks, together
with five other leaders, were killed
and large number wounded. The
negroes scattered in wild confusion
after the first fire. None of the whites
were seriously hurt and all is reported
quiet now, but the whites are still
under arms, acting under the sheriff's
Instructions, and as the negroes are
again reported organizing another
conflict is expected.
The BaGcock court or inquiry met
at noon to-day. Gen. Hancock said
that he saw that this court was bound
to believe in the innocence of Col.
Babcock until the facts, proving faults,
were alduced; Babcock's reputation
had been assailed by statements made
in the st. Louis whisky trials; he had
telegraphed asking a hearing and be-
ing denied the same. had called for a
military court, which was granted
Col Babcock has been indicted by the
grand jury of st. Louis. and the facts
will come out in a fair and legal trial.

Wedo hope our Legislature will pass
some effective law with regard 10 the
improvement of our Wretched system
of roads. 1t is simply a work of SUI
peTerOgatiou to remind our Legislators
that we have, especially in East Ten
nessee, the meauest roads, almost, on
the face of the earth. What we desire
them to do, is to make them better by
the adoption OF some legislation that
will accomplish it. If they do not do
it, we (all their constituents will
think very hard of them.
1t has been suggested that it would
be good idea to put convicts and all
that class of crinals who can not give
bail, to work on our roads, and, in
this way, we could improve every i'm
portant road in the country. We see
nothing wrong in the suggestion, and
as we now comprehend it, would urge
its speedy adoption. We have num-
Der of criminals, and increasing all
the time, that are becoming vastly ex-
pensive to the respective counties, and
we see no leason why they may not be
put to work in the way indicated, and
thus save the taxpayers from paying
out more money than there is any ne
cessity for.-Grdnge Outlook.
