Negroes and whites at War.

Special to the indianapolis journal.
VINCENNES, Ind, July 23.-Another
miniature battle in the race war at Monroe
City was fought to-day between twenty ne
groes and thirty whites John Silence, a
negro was killed and Constable Joseph Bar
nett, who led the posse, was shot in the hip.
Many shots were fired and stones and clubs
were freely used. A score of people on both
sides were badly beaten During the bat
tie house was fired and burned. Some
weeks ago a battle occurred, in which the
whites were outnumbered and routed. The
trouble dates back to the rebellion. David
Richey, colored, owned land and was driven
out of the county by his white neighbors.
His land was sold for taxes and was finally
purchased by Dennis H. Coonrod, highly
respected merchant of Monroe county. A
month ago crowd of negroes, claiming to
be heirs of Richey. seized the farm and have
twice resisted ejectment. The whites threat
en- to mob and kill the blacks tonight. The
negroes are said to be barricaded in a barn
and will resist to the last.
