WASHINGTON, Dec. lD.-At least two more
southern candidates for cabinet honors are
mentioned and their prospects discussed by
political gossips here to-day One is Col w.
O. Bradley, Of Kentucky, who made such a
magnificent canvass against Gen. Buckner for
governor Of Kentucky last year and reduced
the Democratic plurality to about ten thou
sand. The other is Gen Felix Agnus, of
Maryland An old and warm friend of Gen.
Agnus says determined effort win be made
In his behalf
The same man sketched the generals ca
reer as follows: Agnus was subordinate
in the l6sth New York battalion Zouave regi-
ment, and rose gradually by soldierly ability
and daring courage to the command of the
regiment He was rigid disciplinarian and
had a habit, when the regiment was in tight
place, Of leading his company himself, and
when his men refused to follow he never hesi-
tated to draw his saber, and use it, too.
He WIS desperately wounded in the last
year of the war, and when conyalsscing at
Baltimore mot Miss Fulton, daughter OF the
late proprietor of the Baltimore American,
and shortly afterwards married her and set
tied in Baltimore, where he was connected at
first with the business and afterwards with
the editorial staff of the American
He now controls that journal, and his
friends think that as he has fought the fight
persistently and doggedly in Maryland when
fainter hearts despaired, he ought to be re-
Warded 1854 ...

New York, Dec. 19.--Ihe Worlds Indian
apolis special says Gen. Harrison Monday
accidentally let fall his opinion that there
will be an extra session of the Fifty first
congress called. A delegation from Brooklyn
called on the president-elect, and invited him
to attend their Memorial Day exercises on
Mo 30. The general said it was impossible
now for him to promise to be with them, as
he would be very busy about that da'e, and
that it was probable congress would be in
session, and there would be a number OF bills
before him for consideration.

Later Trom VvaI,aYaIs.

New ORLEANS, Dec 19.-2The latest ati-
vices from Wahaaak, Miss, near the scene of
the recent tIrcuiBe, say there is no change.
The cabins of the negroes hare been burned
and their stock destroyed. The negroes have
fed to the sw1nps, or are in hiding. The
latest estimates Ere that five white men were
killed and perhaps ten wounded 1t is quite
probable that tbese figures will be increased.
No mention ispnade in the latest advices of
any negroes being killed, but it is likely many
We're slaughtered. All the reports from the
: scene of trouble are conflicting, both as to
the cause Of the trouble and the number of
killed
Wahalak is asmall hamlet and is hard so
ireach, while news from neighboring towns
dss mostly speculative. II is certain, how
'ever, that large number Of white men, we'll
armed and desperate, are ON the scene to
;avenge the death Of their comrades, and
llater dispatches may show a bloody battle.

4 DEADLY RIOT
Between the Whites and Blacks
of Mississippi.
SEVERAL OF A CoNsTABLE's POSSE
KILLED OUTRIGHT.

The Little Town of Wahalak the Scene Of
the Deadly Encounter, which is Caused
by a Negro Severely Beating a White
BOY Who Had Twitted Him-Militia
Hurrying to the Seat of Trouble.
COLUMBUS, Miss, Dec IA deadly riot
took place Sunday night at Wahalak station
between the whites and blacks At first il
was reported that 150 negroes and twelve
whites We're killed. Information has been
meager and the accounts are conflicting and
uncertain. 1t is now claimed that from one
to twelve white men were killed and
wounded. As nearly as can be ascertained
the facts are as follows
A gin house, belonging to a white farmer,
was burned last fall, aud colored man was
accused of setting fire to it, Sunday evening
the son of the farmer whose gin was burned
met the colored man who had been accused OF
being the ilrebug and twitted him about it.
The colored man became enraged at the boy
and beat him most brutally. A warrant was
at once issued for the arrest of the colored
man, and a constable went to his house to
take him prisoner. The latter, however, re-
sisted arrest and the constable was worsted
He at once returned to Wahalak, and a
posse was organized to arrest the colored
man.
The posse consisted of twelve men, and
they at once started for the colored mans
1ouse, located about three miles from Waha-
ak. In the meantime the colored man had
,alled upon many Of his friends to come to
his assistance and had fortified himself in his
log hut, with some thirty or forty of his own
color to help him.
When the constabls's posse appeared within
gunshot of the house the colored men opened
fire upon them with the most disastrous
effect.
Out of She twelve men nine were shot dead,
and the others wounded Tom Nichols, tho
father Of the white lad was also killed. Ter
rife excitement followed and they rose en-
masse, both whites and 91ocks. The latter
being largely in the majority repaired to the
swamps, taking their victims with them.
Meridian was immediately telegraphed to
for assistance, and ONE hundred white men
promptly responded West Point also sent
large number of whites, and Capt. A. J. Nc
Dewell, of the Columbus riflemen, has or
dered his men to be ready for marching or
deIs, in response to message from Governor
Lowry.
The cavalry company of Crawford, thirty
ailesdistant, has gone to the scene OF war.
The colored people for miles around are
ermng and hurrying to the scene, and it is
hard to predict what the results may be.
Eight colored men in one accernt are re-
ported killed
n There is intense excitement throughout
Mississippi. Armed parties of white men
have hurried to the scene and another battle
% feared, Troops will probably be sent at
once to the scene sf conflict
Wahalak, Miss, is a small station on the
Mobile & Ohio railroad, thirty three miles
from Meridian. The negroes arc very numer-
Gus in the vicinity.
