The Austin Statesman Of the 18th
contains the following;
Yesterday the sheriff Of Blanco
county arrived in this city with warrants
for Thomas Pruitt, Mark Pruitt, William
Gibson and we believe one or two others,
who had been indited for stealing cattle
and burning the Blanco county court.
house, and who were driving a drove Of
cattle over toward Taylor station. The
sheriff called on Sheriff CorwiR and rep
resented the case, relating that there
we're eight men in the party, and that he
did not believe he could make the ar
rests, as they would most likely begin
firing upon him the moment he showed
himself. Sheriff Corwin expressed his
willingness to assume the task; the war
rants were placed in his hands, and
Deputies Morris Moore and Olive Car
rington were chosen to 60 and serve the
papers, and VIM. Glasscoek, Of 0atman-
vile, EV. Martin and a man from Blan-
co, we're summoned to 90 as assistants,
and all started yesterday forenoon. AS
was anticipated, the men were found
near Walnut, about six miles from AVS
tin, and it was decided to surround the
party and gradually close in on them,
each officer to select a man. 1t was soon
discovered that the men we're expecting
that an effort would be made to arrest
them, for so soon as the officers began
| c%ircling in on them some took to fight,
and others showed fight. One of the
Fruits, who was the only man that fred,
leveled a Winchester at officer Moore,
and sent q ball whizzing by him. Moore
instantly dismounted, expecting TO make
his horse a bresstwork, but the animal
got frightened and ran away. Moore
then took steady aim and wounded
Fruits horse, Pruitt again firing
about the same time. Moore then
fred and again wounded the
horse. Pruitt then d|ismounted and
fred three more shots, but without effect.
Moore's third shot took effect in Fruits
side, from which be died in about hall an
hour. In the meantime the other Pruitt
and VIM. Gibson had been arrested and
all the balance, but one Of whom war,
rants had been issued for, had made their
escape. The remains Of the deeeaged
were taken to a house near by, and the
other two men were brought to town aud
lodged in jail. On the way in, Pruitt
said to Moore: There are Eve brothers
of us, aud you will have us al to kill
Pruitt says that bis deceased brother had
a family in Blanco, aud he wanted the
Sheriff to start back with him last night,
80 that he could get the news to them,

THE POPULATION OF SAVANNAH.
Savannah Letter in Boston Post.l
The city of Savannah is usually rated
at 10000 people, Of which one-hslf are
white and one-half colored, in round
numbers. OF these there are, we esti-
mate, only about 2 1000 in the city
at present, viz, $4,000 colored and 1000
whites. All who had the meaus or in
clination to leave have done so. In
1854, the year Of our last severe calam'
ity, these colored people we're slaves
who we're cared for by their owners.
Now they come upon public charity for
care and support. Of the 1000 whites,

binary times support themselves by their
daily and weekly earnings, who, wher
thrown upon US in such an epidemic al

had an active banking capital Of golC
