Probability that Peace viii Soon be
Restored.
New ORLEANS, September 4th.-A spe-
cial from Greenwood (Miss.) says that
from present appearances it looks as though
the sun of peace would supersede the cloud
of war. The Sheriff of this county re-
turned from Minter City, the seat OF war,
last evening, and reports everything quiet
there. Four of the ringleaders, named
Adolph Horton, Scott Morris, M. j. Dial
and Jack Dial. were killed. The excite
ment among the negroes was augmented
by the report that peaceful negro had
been killed during the night for refusing
to take up arms against the white people.
Upon the arrival of the troops it was
learned that party of about 100 negroes,
well armed with Winchester rifles, were
encamped on Cane Lake, a distance of six
or eight miles from Mimic City. A recon-
noitering party of citizens, numbering
about fifty members, was organized, and
proceeded to interview the belligerent
blacks. After riding for some time through
q dense forest of cane and vines, they ar
rived at the place designated as the camp
OF the negroes, but they had moved to some
other place. A search was at once insti
tuted.
While passing through a plantation the
party came upon Adolph Horton and Jack
Dial. They were commanded to surrender.
They drew pistols instead and started to
run, when they were shot down.
Other leaders were killed this morning
while resisting arrest
Thomas Allen and Cromwell Making,
leading spirits of the insurrection, have
been arrested, and the whites and the bet
ter class of negroes are determined to bring
them to justice. a good feeling prevails be-

BREAKING OUT AGAIN.
New ORLEANS, September 4th.-The
Times Democrats Greenwood, Miss, special
says: The most dastardly outrage since
the beginning of the trouble in the upper
part of the country was perpetrated by
George Allen and his squad of fifteen ne
groes last night, by burning Mr.. Jamison's
store at Shady Grove, on the Tallahachie
river. They went there and asked for
powder and shot. Jamison refused to let
them have any and they told him
they would either burn his house
or kill him. They caught him, set fire to
his house, firing off their gus in the mean
time, and making other hostile demonstra,
tions. Jamison got away and went to
Sunnyside, informing the people of what
had happened.
About the same time negro deserter
from Aliens band came up and offered to
pilot the whites to Aliens camp at Lone
Star Bend if they would spare him and his
two brothers, who were among Aliens men.
About 200 men at once started for the hos
tile camp, which is about six miles above
Sunnyside. 1t has not been learned whether
they succeeded in capturing him or not. 1t
is not likely he will be taken alive, as he is
q very desperate negro. 1t now transpires
that the negro whom he killed last Monday
night for refusing to take up arms against
the whites was his own brother.
Yesterday evening a Sheriff's posse got
sight OF two negroes who had gone to
Cleveland for ammunition. The negroes
jumped from their mules and fed into the
cane brake. The posse captured the mules
and 600 Winchester rifle cartridges, ten
pounds of buckshot and five pounds Of
powder.
Further particulars from up the river
confirm the statement that the four ne
gro leaders who were killed yesterday
were killed by the Sheriff's posse while re-
sisting arrest.
The number of hostile negroes are now
estimated from one hundred to one hun
dTed and fifty, and they are still in large
squads, one of which is led by Allen and
the other by one Backitt The object of
the Sheriff is to capture the leaders and
deal with them according to law. Their
followers are merely ignc rant negroes, who
hardly understand what they are about.
