[Fiom the Memphis Argus, May 1.] Tho n'jt io South Memphis yesterday bogan by two polcemeu going to am st a man who sold liquor ii Huutli Momphis. Tua negro soldioro who Were viHte.-ilay muetoretl out of service, and had teen i*atr?>nizing tho drinking saloon, charged tho two polee, killing ono, Tbo other collected about fifti-iin.f Iii? comrades, who weat down to roecuo their ?.'oiiipaiAon, bat wero again repuhjed by tho piegre force, Tho polico theil sent hack to tho ?tatiou-liouse to Ret tho polico foreo of tho city. Captain Garrett took all tho forco and procoedod b Sou', hat root. Thero tho nieleo began in oarn kst. fc'ono five or six iiolioeiuoii and eitizous wore ?hot-two or thrco saul to bo killed and BOve ral fvvounde.1. About ono linmlred or ??no huadred (and li!t\ negro soldiers and whito men from this part (il'lio city-mostly of the loweet class-wero .callen-:! in every direction, behind houses, fenc?1.- end ravines, and openod an irregular but destructive Uro upon the polico and citizens indis crimimtcly. Tbo polico and thosu of tho citizens who wiro armed returned the fire, but were for a time breed lo retiro beforo tho bot liro of the negro?. After some limo they rallied, and charged tho bridge about two equares east of Main, on Routh ?gfrccl. This thov carried, and forced tho negroes Id Heir white allies to fall back beyond tbo Mis TilBBipii and TeuucBseo Railroad depot. Thopolico hore und?! a stand, but tho nc?roeB flanked thom and caine very near cutting thora off from town. The riilico by this timo, under the command of Captain Ganeit and Lioutonant Buoy, had ox haual.il all their ammunition, and aeeingtbe armed force foliating thom, started to retreat up Main .trect.but just BB they arrived opposite Morris Cipieltry, tlibro being an ombankmont and a hedge ?n t'ia w? at sido of Main-tin? negroes bav ing succeeded iii making Ibeir flank movement fired a volley into the retreating forco ot police .and citizens, several men falling at the shot of the negror, but ono of our reporters, who was on ?he ground, having bcon slightly wounded at the South street bridgo, took no timo to see bow many were ablo to got away. The police charged again, and tho few shots took effect, Hinno dozen falling at the firo. Two tofiroes who had been ?apt un d in attempting to make their OH capo not far from the intersection of Hhelby and Union streets, were shot down, but it was hard to toll Who ehrt them, as they woro between friends and foes. The negroes pressed tho rotreating oolumn Of policemen and citi/.euB aa far aa the Second rrosbytoriivn Church, on Bo&lo and Main etreots. In this molee there were three or four police men wounded, among them wero James F.inn and Mr. Slatterly. The laut named gentleman aud ' f: reportor woro wouuded by the samo shot in o charge over 8oiith-street bridgo. Mr. Plat 'erly waa shot through the thigh-only & flesh vound. Henry Dunn, uigiueer on fire engine No. 3, was mortally wounded, and has nineo died. It ia thought Mr. Flinn will die. Somo six or eight negroes wero killed and aoveral wounded. Two of tho killed aro now at the polico statlon-houBe. As our reporter was passing down OauBey-atreet there appeared to bo much excitement, aa well as ?tall otdor paris of tho eily from Adams down, bat in pasting through Causey thero waa much sympathy ni uni tested for the negroea. 8omo of the lower c1 ins wont HO far as to curse the posse comitaliis who wero following tho police, and wish ed thom, with tho policemen, in the infernal re gions. Many of the white citizens-but none that could bo called respect ?.ble-joined with tho negroes and assisted thom in thotr manoeuvring. 8ome of them cjuducted tho flunk movement from the fort to tho ambuscado on Main, oppoaito the Morris Cemetry, After tho st impede of the policcmon on Main street, they rallied a-ain at Gayoso, and stopped tho fugitives, making a stand. Tho negroes ad vanced as far as the next street below Beale, and fired several shots, but hurt no one. Thero the polico wero Bcattered to cover Front, Main, and Second streets, about ton to oach street, tho re maining force retiring to arm and equip them selves. Till? thoy did as soon as possible, and re JLtamed to th?.' sccno of action. jfc? 8omo reports say that sevoral nogroca were Bawled in town as far up as Jefferson-atroet. ?p0:43 P. Al.-Tho regular troops stationed at the Bpfrt wero called ont to quell tho riot. Some ro ?wportB say that this was refuaod by General Stono uuvn; other?, that they came at the time, and the negroes and their white accomplices were forced I to retreat to the forts. No further particular?; einco our reporter left, at the time of stationing , troops and polico on the thron atruuta mentioned above. There aro still occasional shots being fired as wo go to press. About 12 o'clock thero were several shots fired, but tho results have not been obtained. The whole number of casualties up to the time of going to press, are two whito men killed ant several wounded; about six or eight negroes killet i and several wounded. Very naturally tkf riot croatod the moatintonsf excitomeut throughout the southern portion ol the city. As amnas it became known that th< difficulty wasbotween negroes and policomen, am not ono of tho acores of ordinary negro brawli that almost d.kily and nightly diagraco the vicinit; of South etreot, curiosity to ace tho meleu over carne discretion. Hundreds emerged from house?? id streamed to the scene of the firing, from al ya and streets, all eager to witness the conflict uito a number of negroea-uon-participanta ho chanced to bo in tho neighborhood and di. ot incline to aid their black brethren, wer eized with a terrible panic, aud their iligli " every direction added not a little to tho osciti nt. On Shelby street, about 7 o'clock, proba ..' fifty of this claaa wore seen hastening towal tue river as rapidly aa their logs could carry then evidently as much alarmed at the negro rioters H the policemen, At this timo the majority of til r?sidences on Shelby street between Trezerai and Vance, were emptied of thoir occupants, wh were clustered in positions favorable for a view c the conflict, which by this timo was carried on i ?desultory manner us far up as Vance street, c Hain. The fugitive negroos, ono und all, anser ed that the negro mob was making for Shell street. Fortunately it did not, and of tho lurg owd of spectators no ono waa injured. In front of the Gayoso Honan, about dark, gro man was ahot in the face, but by whom v ave not ascertained. Tho mob was at no tune i that locality, and the ball was doabtloas fired t nomo excited individual, who supposed that ? the negroee on the streets were engaged in ti riot. The man was bleeding profanely, at ?eated in tho door of a hack, a waiting tho urriv of some ono to dress his wound. These particulars are from tho direct obaerv lion of our reporter, aud ?o far us laota, and n .rumora, are concerned, we vouch for their t mt Those whito persons who allied thotnst-lvea w: .-the rioters Bhould be held up to the execration i?ll good citizens; and tho great pity is, that th Pdid not fall victima instead of some innooenc mi o happened to be wouuded or killed in the a i. -'-- .'

Tho frightful proceedings of tho past forl eight hours had caused tho greatest exc?teme in tho city of Memphis, and the sun rose yesti Jay morning upon a populace in a vory excit "iato. Groups of pur? ?us woro to be aeon j;ery corner, and people talkod in tones bo id and doep of the deeds porpctratod in Sou Stupids on tho previous ovoning. It waa qn Sparont that a majority of the citizens wc fined and roady for any eniergoncvjbutno mo? kent waa inado until a roport reached the hu les part of the city that hostilities had been i [met], and that tho negroos had killed two c1 |p near tho depot of tho Mississippi and Te Basco Railroad.

THE MOBTEBINO OF VOLUNTEERS, layor Park bad applied to Major-Gone neman, the general commanding the distr J the asoistance of the military under his cc rod, i?nd the General placed the same at ?posai. Sheriff Winters formed a posse com cus of citizens aa ?n the previous evening, i [en proceeded to the iron mungery ?toro of ! ?nry Folsoro, on.

Ho Btutod tht?y would bo sont i to tlio court room, and tho iiicinbera of tho Uro i brigado proceeded to tho econo of action with 1 what arma tlioy oould procure; but wink? thoy ] wero marching up etreot at tho "double-quick," i they woro iuformod that tho disturbance for the i pn ?-out, had beon quoUed, and thoy roturnod to i their aovorul etations. Captain O. 13.

Four companies belonging to tho Sixte nth Regiment of United SUtoa Regulare, at proaont stationed at tim point, and iiiiniborin?; in all ibout ono hundred and sixty men, marched up at ? &u early hour from Fort Pickering to tho depot ?if j tim Mississippi and Tcnm BBOO Railroad. They ; wero uutlor command of Capt. Allon aud Capt. Duncan. When thoy reached tho depot they found ' a largo number of negroes assembled on a n> igh- ] uoring height, and drawn up lu aotuothing which looked like a line of battle A MAN FlliailTFULlY? MALTREATED. Tho ordor was given by the officer in command i to charge upon tho negroes and diaporae thom, as thoy had called at some of tho houaoaoo?upiud by white citizens iu tho vicinity, nnd had threatened them With instant death. Tliey had alt-o fallon upon a citizen who waa quietly walking along tho road, and maltreatod him in such a shocking manner that bia life is despaired of. He was car ried without loss of timo into one of tho adjacent houses; but such was tho nature of the boating ho had received that ho was unable to give his n imo or inform the persons who were biuding up bia wouuds where ho resided. TH? REOTJLAH8 CHARGE ON THE MOB. Whon the regulars chargod upon tho excited mob of negroea, a number of shota wero fired at them, but t>y tho ordors of tho commanding ollicor the soldiers reserved their fire. The primary ob joct seemed to bo to disperse the uegrooa and compel them to return to their cabins. A largo number of citizens had accompanied the soldiers, and one of tho officers dispatched an orderly to General Btonoman's headquarter* for arms to place in the hands of these volunteers. The polico had als J by this time como up, and as the negroes retreated iowarda Fort Pickering, thoy continued firing volleys, which were returned with effect, and the bleeding corpses of four negroes quickly oarne in contact with mother earth. Although, the firing was kept up with the greatest rapidity by the negroes, none of the soldiers or the citizens wero wounded, with a singlo exception-a citizen receiving a slight floah wound in the right arm by a stray bullet. THE EXCITEMENT IN THE CrTV. The nowa that hostilities on the part of the ne groes had again broken out, caused the greatest excitemont among the citizens on Main and the other principal street?, and hundreds hurried to tho avon? of action on foot, iu hacks, andon horse back. The greatest excitement prevailed, and men spoke to each other in hurried tones as thoy i examined their weapons to see if they wero ready for use. Main-street was all alive with volunteer citizous in full marching order, and iu front of Mr. Folsom's gun store was a company of volunteers drawn up and receiving arms. lu a few minuted thoy got the order to march, and wero eoon at the scene of action, and took part in tho charge made by the military on the negroes. FOUR NEQUOES KILLED. When the charge of I ho military, police, and citizeus took place ou tho uegroes, the latter kopt their ground until the others carne up. Detective Stonebeckor, who was riding neur the head of the police, had his horae shot in tho neck by a uegro who waa armed with a long six-barrelled navy re volver. Before, however, the negro could level his pistol to fire another shot, a well-directed bul let from a pistol ot ouo of tho polico penetrated his skull, aud he fell to tho grouud and died al most instantly. Another negro, in military uni form, who waa taking the part of a ringleader, met a similar fato as the negroes retreated to wards the depot. Here a determined fire was kept up by the blacks for some timo, but when they saw two moro of their number fall, aud seve ra] moro wounded, they turned and incontinently fled towards Fort Pickering. They woro pursued some distance, and a fuw skirmishers woro sent out after them, but tliey were soon under the sbeltor of the fort and the entrenchments. The military, poliee, and citizens, who had all behaved with the groatOBt bravery ami gallantry, tlioti marched back towards tho old Morris grave-yard. Mayor Park was at their head, aud hau been very active during tho attack. CESSATION OF HOSTILITIES. When the negroes were fairly under the shelter I of the fort, all daugcr of further hostilities ceased, and Captain Garrett gavo his men ortlora to re turn to their quarters, and about 12 o'clock noon thoy left tho scene of act ion. Tho officer in com j maud of the regular troops marched and couuter i marched his mon np aud dowe in the vicinity ol L tho depot; but as there did not eccm to be an; further appearance of disturbance, they also re ? turned to their quarters at the fort. As they lefl . the scone of tho recent struggle thoy were greeted , by a cheer from the crowd, and they marobee I dowu the etreot with lixod bayonets and steady B martial tread, and wero soon out of Bight. . "ALI. QUIET." All was now quiet in tho vicinity of the grr.ve ? yard, where tho majority of tho citizens had as " sembled, and tho majority of thoso pr?tant re . turned to the city. Nogrocs were to be 6eei - looking out at the doors and windows of the hun d dreds of cabins which nearly encircled the grave e yard and stretched out far beyond; but no oin ? molested thom, as they showed uo iueliuation o :_ lecommouciDg hostilities. j TWO CABINS FIRED. i, While the crowd waa dispersing, a shot wa s fared by some one, but whether by a negro or i o white mau could not he ascertained; but bo tha it as it may, ii hud the itnmodiate effect of exaspe i> rating the crowd, and iu n few minutes two of th< >f negro cabins in the vicinity wero set on fire. Tb n Humea, however, were promptly extinguished b >n some soldiers and citizens, aud although tho fir t- engines turnod out promptly, their services wer >v not required. After proceeding along the street ?ii short distanco, they returned to their auveral sts tiona, a Whon tho flames had. been extinguished, th r? crowd quickly dispersed, and at 2 o'clock not ha ?n a dozon persons wore to bo jseen at tho spot wine >v only three hours previously had been the acune ( iii a Joadly conflict. The negroea had taken stielte HI in their oabioB or in tho fort, and quiet agai id reigned. al ONE CITIZEN SHOT B? ANOTHER. About two o'clock in. the afternoon the ex ci ti ?- ment in the city was greatly heightened by ti w etartliug report that one citizen rad ahot anothi h- in Frank's saloon, in Bank alley, off Madisc th street. This report spread with the greatest n ?f pidity, and in a few moments a vast crowd had a ay aembled at the report. The report, alas, was tt 'n trno I The viotim was Mr. Ben. 0. Dennis, brot! o- er-in-law of Dr. Dickenson, City Comptroller. TI man who had shot him was named Eornan, wl bad left the placo as soon as he had flrod the fat shot. While ho was running down the stroot at rapid rate, be was captured by Officor Wood ES deputy constable, who took him to tho static ,N. house, but not being aware of tho fatal ocou ?B ronce, Koruan uas allowed to go, and bad not bei EH apprehended at a late hour last night. The st ,_ ries regarding tho firing o? the fatal ahot wero na tbo most conflicting nature, and ovon tho ba T8 tender of the saloon, who was standing onlv a ft paces off when tho bullet pouetratcd Mr. Donn , brain, was nuable to explain the cause. It ? g1 however, stated that tho deceased waa standii "'' talking to a negro barber at the bar, when K#rm ? i carno out of the dining room. Donnis romarko ~7 in course of conversation, pointing to the barbt S " Hero is a negro as good as any white man ,F Kernan, hoarlug tho remark, asked him to repc .?.* it. He did so, and Kernan, pulling a. pistol frc 5? his pockot, leveled it and flrod, aud shot' Dont ,' through tho forehead. Tho woundod man fell 'j tho ground, and in a fow minutes breathed 1 5* last. Tho coroner was notiliod, and an inqut ".j w11 bo hold upon tho body to-day. Kernan li J* not yet beon arrested, in I a THE FUNERAL OF HENRY. DUNN. ho Tho funeral of nonry Dunn, tho engineer oft es, 2 lire engine, took place yesterday afternoon, a es, vras very lurgoly attended by his brother firorni aro the members ot tho police-forco, and the citizc ion generally. Shortly before 3 o'clock lu the aft ,U(1 noon the police aud firemen assembled at t io- etation-honeo on Jefferson-street, and marchi beaded by a band of music, to the residence tho deceased, on Brown's Avenue. In front of I residence a largo crowd had asaomblud, and I irai coffin, containing all that was mortal of Hei lot, Dunn, waa brought out and placed on the hear H" aiuid tho tear? of tlio widow, children, friends a i fCQ^iut&nces of the deceased, who had loi A 6av wbllo alive and revered bim when ho was do ?ia The occasion was amost solemn one.

Whon tho collin vas placed in tbo hearne, tho band played a finio .al dirgo.

Two of the firomoti from each company md two of tho policomoti officiated as pall-bcarcre, uid the procession was a moat impoaing ouo as it >asHod through tho streets. Rov. Father Roch ford road tho prayers in tho Cathedral, and de iverod an appropriate oration over tho remains of ;ho deceased. Rev. Father Lilly read nravers at ilie gravo, in tho Catholic cemetery, and all that ?via mortal of Houry Dunn was consigned to the rravo, and tho members of the procession return ed to the city. IN THE EVENINO. In the evening hotweon 8 and 9 o'ulock tho boll ,n tho tower in the engino-hovise on Jefferson itroet sounded tho tocsin for a fire, a bright light laving beon scon iu tho southern part of tho city. Fbo rumor aproad rapidly that tiro nouro cabins in South Memphis had boen eel on fire. Tho en tities turned promptly out. under Chief Engineer ?'Noil, and proceeded to trio epot. Ou their ar rival thoy discovered that tho Aro was in tlio ne ?ro school at tho extonsion of .south street. As thero was no water in tbo vicinity tho engine? could render no assistance in oxtiugtii-iliiiig tlio dames, and tboy accordingly returned to tho city. In a fow minutu-i llames burst out in a cabin near ?Mainstreet, and was followed by flin breaking out in Bovoral other cabins which surround the railroad depot. Sevoral ehotfl wero fired, and oro or two negroes weio shot; but auch was tho ex citement that prevailed that no reliable particu lars could bo procured. Sheriff Winter? liad bis posse comUat'is on tho ground, and at 12 o'clock at night quiot bad boon restored; and it ia to be hoped that tho dreadful disturbances of the past forty-eight hours aro at an end. MORE FIRES. Shortly aitor midnight tho bells of the city rang out another alarm, the t-liy being lighted up iu au cstern direction by a bright lurid glare. Tbo engines turnod out aud proceeded to the spot. Tho Aro was caused by sevoral uegro cabins be ing act on tiro, noar tho fort, on Adams street. COMMERCIAL. The Charleston Cotton Market.
