The Freetown Riot,

We take the following account Of the
FroetOwn affair from the columns Of the
Picayune. We believe them to be about
correct:
In addition to the killing of PaysOn
Smith the white forces suffered Il slight
wound in the wrist of Mr.. Manard, a
young Creole from New Iberia station.
In reference to
THE RESULTS
Oh the side of the negroes, it is not a alb
SOluteiy certain, but from two sources 1t
is made UP as follows: A prominent
gentleman who went to the grounds this
morning says that he went into the negro
church, when he found there were eight
dead ncgOres who were left there to await
the cOrOHOr's inquest. These were Sam
COhil, Earnest Orient, Andy Smith.
Paul Charles, Louis Simmons and three
Others whom the gentleman did not
known. lie was informed that old man
Tom Simon had been killed and carried
to his own house. He was also informed
that al unknown negro was wounded
and died last night. which would make
ten killed. lie was informed that four
others were missing and unaccOunted
fOr-whether absent or dead was not
known.
There was one wOunded-AleX Lee, a
c0lOred school teacher, who called DIR. b.
T. MO5ely TO attend him. This would
make.
TOTAL OF FIFTEEN.
DR.. MoSely says Lee is seriously
wounded in the jaw and throat, and has
a flesh wound in the breast. The other
information is denied.
From negro from FreetOwn, who was
to-day at Cade's station: He says that
there were originally.
THIRTEEN DEAD NEGROES
in the church, but that five were carried
away, and that Tom Simmons, the I'M
known negro who died last night, and
the school teacher would make sixteen,
and the four missing would make total
of twenty.
In addition to the names Of the dead
five given the negro informant gives those
of Edward Simon, son Of old man Tom
Simon and brOther-in-law of Andy Smith;
Edward Waller, Jr., Alex Waller and
T. POchelle.
Violence is always an important fact
in intelligent conclusions, but this case
is somewhat independent. Beyond the
fact that Andy Smith for his general bad
character was threatened with a whip
ping, in retaliation armed himself and
friends and defed the white people and
then fired the first shot, in the face of the
fact that there were ten whites to one
thaS mauifesting his daredevil rascality
in the last moment of life, as death must
have seemed inevitable to him after his
killing young Smith.
This information is obtained by a
buggy ride of nearly forty miles to-day
through mud and hot sun and a scarcity
of intelligence to furnish it.

English Comments.

The st. James Gazette, referring to
the action of the United States govern
ment in the case Of Lord Sackvllle, says
that it would be most creditable to Eng
lish good sense if Secretary Bayard's in
science is treated with contempt. The
American Eagle is a-screechin'. Let
him screech. We are not exactly pre-
pared to send iron-cladS to Long Island
because Mr.. Bayard is outrageously Of
fensive." t #g So }Hsata 1850
The Post has a leading editorial on
the Sackville incident, in which it says:
eve find the head of the republic driven
to offer an affront to British minister,
and through him to the friendly coun-
try which he represents. To English
men the affair is of little importance.
This country has nothing to hope or
fear from the United States, and it is a
matter of small interest to us whether
the democrats or republicans win in the
coming presidential election" s,@.
The Standard follows up its leader of
yesterday and says: 1T might be proper
to show our sense of wounded dignity
by rendering Mr.. Phelps his passports
The presidents not satisfied to renounce
the diplomatic intercourse, but must
needs strip the British minister Of all
title to the functions for which he is
accredited. He degraded our embassa-

dor before ordering him to leave the
country. Lord Sackville is not allowed
the ordinary hospitality of American
soil. He is told to go at once. IT war
had been declared between the two ma
tions, the state department could have
done nothing more unfriendly. AS a
matter of etiquette, the course pursued
at Washington will not rebound to the
credit of American manners, but that
concerns Americans. For Englishmen,
it is quite enough to feel that their en-
bassador is being hustled out of the
United States in most contumelious
fashion"
