SAD AFFAIR AT LowHDEsv1LLE.

From q gentleman just returned from
Lowndesville, Abbeville County, we learn
that on Monday evening last negro was
arrested and put in the guard-house at that
place, and about 10 o'clock at night was
forcibly released by an armed crowd of
about thirty negroes. Soon afterwards, Mr.:
Clayton Allen and Mr.. The. Baker were
quietly passing the street, when they were
fred upon by said negroes, and Mr.. Allen
was instantly killed, and Mr.. Baker woun-
ded. The citizens collected Immediately
and pursued the negroes who had fled, and
up to o'clock on Wednesday had arrested
thirty of the rioters, several of whom made
confession to participation in the shooting.
Great excitement prevails in the communi-
ty, and it is with difficulty that the people
are restrained from wreaking vengeance on
the mob of negroes.

Tho above carefully drawn map illustrates the
Indian campaign far it has been carried
II will be remembered that tho original plan OF the
campaign embraced the advance of three distinct col
umns OF troops the region 81 the Rosebud Noun
tains where tho hostile Indians, after collecting
immense supply OF war material, retired TO dispute
the possession OF the Yellowstone region with the
flower OF tho United States Army. Crook
with strong column of cavalry aud In
fantry and detachment OF friendly Crow
Indians advanced from the southwark, starting
from Fort Fetterman the north fork OF the Platte
River, and following the main trail wagon road,
leading successfully through Fort Reno on the Big Pow
der River and Fort Phil Kcarny the eastern base Of
the Big Horn Mountains the Of the terrible mas
of largo party OF the garrison of that post
under Captain Fetterman in 1865 After passing
Fort Phil Kcarny Crooks route divcrged to
the northeastward from tho regular road, and hc
advanced his column through tho winding
ravines until he reached the fork Of the Tongue River
where the Prairie Creek joins that stream. Here on
June 10, the Sioux attacked the camp and although
unsuccessful in defeating the troops their numbers and
daring induced Crook to withdraw to the southwest
ward about miles, where no established his supply
camp on the banks Of Goose Creek tributary of the
Tongue River. From this point no prepared to ad-
vance tho indian position in tho 'bad lands lying
norihward toward the Yello stone Valley.
Learning that large Indian village established
the Rosebud River about thirty miles to the north
ward he advanced TO the headwators OF that stream
and following its course he reached within few miles
OF the supposed position the village and encamped
preparatory to grand attack The Indians here sur
prsed him with large force the 18th OF June and
compelled him to fight defensive baltic against

steps and to his camp Goose Creek which he
moved little nearer the mountains for greater safety
Here he now awaits reiniorcemens and supplies, which
are being pushed forward TO his assistance.
TERRY's ADVANCE.
In the meantime another large column, under the
command Of General Terry, organized at Fort
Lincoln. the Missouri River and marched across
The Plains, crossing the Little Missouri River and
Beaver Greek until II reached the mouth OF the Powder
River, in the Yellowstone River Valley From this
point General Terry detached consider rablc force

whereabouts and the Indians enabled TO
attack each column separately and really defeat them
in detail 1t would appear as If the Generals were
hghng for personal glory, instead OF the attainment
of the main object OF the war, and there
cert OF action between them.
Although rumors OF disaster had reached either camp
there direct interchange OF communications be
tween Terry and Crook until appears by the special
despatch to the HERALD which we reprint from ycscr

sIBLEY's SCOUT.
In the meantime an undertaking scarcely less
faught with danger TO the participants was In
OF performance by small body OF Crooks men,
under the command OF Lieutenant Sbley. Crook
becoming anxious about Terry resolved to
look for him, and at tho time to scout the
try in his front The force composing this scouting
party numbered only thirty soldiers and volunteers.
The following account Of thcr terrible experience Is
reprinted from the HERALD special despatch from
Crooks camp published yesterday

OF all their equipment excepting arms aud ammuni-

The scouting party mounted and galloped toward the

A brief council held and by the advice OF tho

then moved stcalthiy from the ground and dashed
behind the projecting rocks The Sioux did not see

firing recommence louder than ever, and knew all
their horses would probably be killed and be sorry
