Bloody Riot on the Port Royal Railroad The following account is taken from the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel: There was intense excitement in Augusta Sunday.night, when the news of the trouble reached the city. This was not allayed yes terday morning. Several young men went down to Ellenton on the inorniug train of tihe Port Royal Railroad and a number of others rode on horseback to Silverton. About 10 o'clock the Port Royal train returned and re ported that tle negroes had torn up the track near Jackson Station, fifteen miles from Au. giusta, and ditched the way freight train which left. here yesterday morning. It ap pears that two rails were displaced and a portion of the cross-ties burned. The train, fortunately, was running rather slowly, and no one was hurt. The locomotive and four cars were thrown off and turned completely over. The telegraph was cut near Ellenton by the negroes. but was repaired during tile day by ian operator from Atigosta. During the riorining it was reported that trce white in, Captain W. .J. Wood and Messrs. Elmore AvhIley and Janes hush, had been killed, and that Ellenton hiad been brinol to tle ground by the negroes. This added to tie excitement, al crowds of men congiregated on the streets discussing the situation. t1 being understood that an extra train would leave for Ellenton at. 12 o'clock, about fifty men armlel principally with muzzle load ing rifles, assembled near lie Port, Royal Railroad office, where tIe train was waiting. In tlie meantine, Captain Fleming, Siperin tendent of tho Port. 'Royal Railroad, tele Fraphed to Gtov. Ch-inberlain, of South Caro lina, asking him to order the squad of' Fede ral tro ps it Ifamiburg to proceed to the scenc of the break in the Port.

I The negroes burned the gin house and oth er buildings on the plantation of James Ash-. ley, four mileet frogn Robbins, on the Port Royal Railroad, Tuesday night. The %hites attacked the negroes and a fight ensued. It is known that heveral were seriously wounded on both sides, and it is reported that some were killed. I The negroes bushwhacked Deputy Sheriff Patterson, of Barnwell County, and seriously wounded him. 800 armed whites were at Steel Creek to day, and a battle is expected It is known that John Williams and Robert williams, white, were killed by the negroes. Reports as to the number o. negroes killed differ. The following particulars of the riot we gather from the Augusta Chronicle and Son tinel of the 20th: A vhite man named John IVilliains was am bushed by the nogroes, near Rouses bridge, Monday, and killed- Ile was first fired upon and wounded, and then beaten to death with clubs. Mr. Samuel Dunbar was severely wounded. No regular fight took place Monday but there were several skirmishes. A brisk conflict occurred at Robbins, on the Port Royal Railroad, Monday night, between a large body of negroes and a small force of whites. The negroes finally retreated leav ing several of their number dead and carrying off their wounded. One white man, whose name we did not learn, was killed and several were wounded. We were unable to obtain any definite partiotilars. In the afternoon the rifle clubs from Edge field passed through 'the city on their way home. They reported that the two coipanl ies of Federal troops reaclied Rouse's bridge early in the morning. The ofilcer in command had a conference with Colonel A. P. Butler, and promised that if the whites would dis perse and go home he would disarm the ne groes and assist the civil authorities inl arrest ing those charged with crime, including Frederick Fort, the negro implicated in the assault on Mrs. Harley. With this under standing the clubs left. the scene of the troi ble and went home. When the troops arriv.;l the whites had the negroes, about 300 inI num - ber, surrounded, and would undoubtedly have captured the entire party. As they only desired to see the law entorced, however, they quietly retired from the field and left it. in control of the United States soldiers. What have the bloody shirt shriekers to say to tiat? It. is positively known that six negroes were killed during the trouble, and it is said that others were shot in several skirmishes- Si mon Coker, an ex-member of the Legislaiure. who was foremost in inciting the negroes to deeds of violence and bloodshed, was killed at Robbins yesterday morning. On his per son were found a number of orders written by himself, directed to negro captains instruct ing them to be certain to kill the engineers oi Port Royal Railroad trains. There was alMo found in one of his pockets a letter te Cov. Chamberlain. Another prominent ne gro named Mink Holland was killed. Three dead negroes were lying on the grass near the wrecked train at Jackson Monday night. Yest erdaiy aft ernioon thle construct ion train, sent out Monday to repair thme track at .htek son, ret urined to the city.

Among other. papers found on thec body of Simon Cooker wals a list of prominent whmite citizens who wvere to be killed and their houses burned. Ouir special reporter arrived in town last night and gave us thme following additional part icular's: On Mlonday night thle Sheriff of Aiken County came near the s~cene of' the riot, and asked if lie shldi( send for United States soldiers to assim L. the whites in making the arrest of tIhe outlaws. The whites replied that while they felt, strong enough to restore law and order. they thought it nmight be more 'quickly done by the presence of soldiers, and would fully co- operate withI thmemi. Tuesday miorning, while the whites wire advancing upon the negroes' retreat, they were met by United States soldiers. They then held a constultation with the officers, and upon their assurance that. tihe blacks would be dispersed or arrested, the whites returned to their homes. All is quiet and tIme whites are satisifed that t he soldiers will keep it so. We understand that thme whites numbered about 400 men yesterday miorninig. Later details report that, a lumber train which left Ellenton yesterday morning was fired into at Robbins by a crowdl of' negroes. Thme train backed to Ellenton, four mils dis tant, where it was boardett by about twenty white men, it t hen rturnedl to RLobbins, aind a hot fight. ensuedi between thme whites and blacks-. Eight negroes were killed and a number woundedl. Several whmites were wvoundl ed. The negroes tiedI and the lunnber train proceeded on its way. Simon C.>ker was killed in t his fight.
