Kinard, Newborry C. H. . James Grant, Union. The Millican Riot. THE OBIOIN OF THE BATTLE-THE KILL? ED AND WOUNDED-HOW IT ENDED. A correspondent of the New Or? leans Times, writing from Houston, Texas, on the 18th ultimo, gives tho following full roport of tho Millican riots: For the past three days, our city has been laboring under ii great deni of excitement, consequent upon a difficulty which began on the 15th ult., between the whites nud thc blacks, at the town of Millican, Brazos County, on the Central Railroad, and which is not yet fully quieted. I learn from a perfectly reliable source that the difficulty had its origin as follows: A negro man, whose name I have not been able to learn, went to the house of a young man named Holliday, a short dis? tance from Millican, to settle some business matters. Finding Holliday absent, the negro demanded a settle? ment of his wife, who informed him that she knew nothing about the business, and consequently could not do anything in the matter. This seemed to enrage the negro, and he began making threats and oursing Mrs. Holliday, whioh so alarmed her that she fled to a neighbor's and informed the members of the family of what had taken place, and request? ed some men to go to her house and make the negro leave. Two or three men immediately went over and arrested the negro and carried him into Washington County, but a short distance from there, and turned him over to the civil authorities. Somehow or other-perhaps under instructions from the Loyal League a report was circulated among the negroes in the vicinity that Holliday and his friends had hung the negro, and in au incredibly short space of time they congregated a force of about sixty well armed negroes, and marched through Millican in the direction of Holliday'a house, breath? ing threats of vengeance. Tho ne? groes were assured that the negro whose death they sought to avenge was alive, aud iu charge of tho civil authorities in the neighboring Coun? ty of Washington, but they would not listen to any one, and kept stead? ily on in the direction of Holliday's. A party of about twenty white mon, under command of the deputy she? riff of Brazos County, immediately started after the negroes, with tho intention of preventing any harm being done to Holliday or his fami? ly. A short distance from town, this party met the negroes returning. The negroes immediately formed a line and fired upon the whites, slightly wounding one. The whites then returned the fire, killiug five aud wounding several other?, und tl. ? charged the negroes, completely routing tho party. There being no telegraph office ut Bryan, the sherill* seized the froight train, on its arrival from Houston, and immediately despatched the engines to Brynn, twenty miles dis? tant, for assistance. Tho engines returned with cars containing about seventy-fivo men; but tho negroes made peuce overtures to tho whites, aud the train returned to Bryan with ^Anost of tho men that had como ^*lowu. During tba night tho whites pluced a picket guard around Milli? can, aud tho negroes assembled in largo numbers at a short distance from town, and two of thoir number, well armed, attempted to enter tho town about J. o'clock on tho morning of the 16th, and, being discovered by the pickets, were fired upon and ono of them killed. After daylight Mr. Wheat, a prominent Loyal Leaguer, visited the negro camp, in company with the Bureau agent, and endeavored to reason with thom, but tho negroes refused to liston to them, and even weat so far as to threaten their lives if they did not leave. The negroes were commanded by a white man who teaches a negro school in the vicinity, and a negro man named .Brooks, who declared their intention to have revenge for tho killing of tho six negroes. The whites, under the command of the Bureau agent and the sheriff, continued to organizo and prepare for the fight. The tiain was again despatched to Brynn for assistance, telegrams were sent thenco to Ben? ham for troops, and to other towns for assistance, and skirmishing, re? sulting in the death of several ne? groes, continued throughout the entire day. A company of soldiers arrived late in tho afternoon, (16th instant,) and immediately sent out a scouting party, which killed three negroes. On yesterday, the negroes becoming pretty well convinced that they were getting the worst of "the fight, scattered their forces, and no body of them could be found. It is reported, howevor, and generally be? lieved, that a largo bod}- of them are camped in the vicinity, at no very great distance, and the prevailing belief is that the affair is not yet nt au end. The citizens, generally, aro of tho opinion that the negroes were insti? gated to the course they have pur? sued by bad white men, who wish to give a color of truth to tho report of the State Couvention on lawlessness and crime, and also to aid Judge Caldwell and Morgan Hamilton, who have gone to Washington City to endeavor to get authority to organ? ize and arm a large body of negroes as Stato militia, on the hypothesis that the lifo of a Union mau is not safe in Texas. And, according to their doctrine, no mun can be a good Union man unless he belongs to the Loyal League. The carpet-baggers and Loyal Leaguers have preached and educated the negroes into the belief that tho late war was fought on purpose to free them, instead of their emancipation being one of the results of the war. The "truly loil" will, no doubt, herald this unfortu? nate affair as a wholesale murder by the rebels; but no one, save one of the white Leaguers, had the bravery and manliness to stand by the negro and share his fate. Tho fact that all tho killing by the I whites was done by citizens under1 command of the agent of the Freed? men's Bureau and the Sheriff, ind by United States soldiers,, under command of their proper officers; and the further fact that no man can be appointed Bureau ugent or Sheriff in this State, unless through a radi? cal Governor and a radical Major General, should at once convince all fair-dealing persons that the whites were not in the least to blame in this whole affair. The negroes can lay the whole blame upon the teachings of bad white men, who have come among them as teachers, speakers, ?fcc., but when it came to powder and lead, deserted them and left them to their fate. The negro leader, Brooks, is a preacher, and, like a great many others, is paid out of Uncle Sam's cash box, his salary being $600 a yaar from the Government. TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.-The Knox? ville Press and Herald, of the 28th ultimo, contains tho following ac? count of a dreadful accident in East Tennessee, by which the wife and two children of a former resident of Lynchburg met with sudden and awful deaths. The 1Jerald says: "On last Thursday night, Mrs. Earns, wife of Colonel C. A. Earns, living a quarter of a milo from Tal ford's Station, on tho East Tennessee and Virginia railroad, was sitting up, waiting on a sick child. We understand that several times during tho night, when she aroso to give tho child tho medicine, she had poured oil on some embers in tho fire-place, for tho purpose of making n blaze and lighting up tho room. Tho result was, that ut last tho oil in tho can took firo as she was stooping down over it with tho child in her arms. Tho can exploded, and the burning contents were thrown over her and her child. With frantic screams, Mrs. Earns rushed into another roora, where her husband had beou sleeping. He, aroused by her cries, wrapped blankets and quilts around her, endeavoring to put out the llamas, burning himself severely, but, nias, too late to save the mother or child! The former was terribly burned about the head and upper part of tho body, and the latter was burned from head to foot, expiring shortly afterwards. Mrs. Earns, while in the agonies of her tortures, gavo birth to another child, and, on Sunday morning, the mother and both children were buried in tho "?ue coffin." William B. Astor, of Now York, is reported to be worth $120,000,000. A "trooly loil" darkey in the Ala? bama Legislature, on Saturday, arose and said: "I moves de char dai 500 copies of dis 'ore Legislator bo printed." From such an anoma? lous and enormous re-production, Alabama says, "Good Lord, deliver us." TUNNEIJ BETWEEN SCOTLAND AND IBELAND.-A suggestion has been put forth in Lngland for a tunnel to unite Scotland and Ireland from the coast of Antrim to Leak's Point, in the Mull of Cantyre, a length of fourteen anda half miles, at a cost of ?3,150.000. A railroad bridgo of oighty feet span at Slatington, Pennsylvania, was carried away by the freshet on Friday night. By 10 o'clock on Monday night following, a new bridgo of 130 feet span was completed and tho cars running over it. It is not trno that John Morrissey has gone back on tho Democratic party. He is a staunch supporter of Seymour and Blair, and is betting largely on their election. It is best to disbelieve everything you see in the Badical papers. A contest between steam firo en? gines and a now atmospherio water power took place nt Louisville, Ky.} on Monday, and resulted in favor of tho latter, five to ono. Tho atmos? pheric power can bc furnished at half the cost of steam. Tho great Dering divorce case, the scandal of high life in England, has come to a conclusion, the wicked Lady Dering aud hov paramour, Capt. Blnkcly, having both died of yellow fever, at Lima. Dr. W. P. Possmore, the general agent for tho Southern Sorgo and Sugar Refining Company, is now in Greenville, and is forming a joint stock company for tho purpose of establishing a branch in Greenville. The Natchitoches (La.) Times is informed that at a meeting held at Binggold, on tho 20th ultimo, 1-10 colored men joined tho Democratic club. Admiral Farragut's big spree abroad costs the Government at the rate of S15.000.000 per annum. Tho tax? payers want to know what return they get for this outlay. Dexter trotted n milo in 2.1934, while taking his rcgulur exercise, without urging, tho other morning. Budd Dobie thinks he will be nblo to show his 2.12 in a few weeks.

A destructive fire occurred at Ma? dison, Florida, on tho 15th, which destroyed tho whole business por? tion of the town. Mayor Gaillard, of Charleston, no? tifies the military appointee that be claims the office. No answer has been vouch-safed. Chief Justice Chase says that "four years more of tho rule of such mon as are now controlling Congress, will leave us little morality, or Republi? canism worth preserving." This season the Southern rice crop will probably reach 60,000 barrels, or 9,720,000 pounds of rough rice, against 45,000 barrels in 1807. Tho Queen of Madagascar is on visit to Paris.

ITS POLITIC S DEMOCRATIC IX THE OBBAT FIGHT AGAINST ItADICAIi VSVUPATlONr TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SOUTH. THE WEEKLY GLEANEB-Devoted to tho r?habilit?t ion of tho Sont h in its former proapority-ia offered to subscribers at tho low rato of $1.50 for six months. The annals of tho American Republic show no political campaign comparable in tho magnitude of its issueB and tho mo? mentousness of its results to that for tho Presidoncy, now ponding. Indeed, tho very lifo of freo government is on trial, and it will bo a sad commentary on tho capacity of tho people for tho exercise of that high trust if they, tho jurors who are to try tho issue, pronounce a verdict of solf-condemnatiou. If tho South has any hope it is in the success of tho Democratic party in the coming Presidential election; and c very citizen is vitally interested in the progress of tho battlo, and cannot afford to bo without a sound and reliable newspaper. As an organ, not only of sound Demo? cratic principles, but as a vehicle of ge? neral nows, tho GLEANER is confidently commended to Southern support. A largo eight-page paper, of forty-eight columns, filled with tho contributions of able cor? respondents, tho daily wealth of tele? graphic communication and readable edi? torials. Especially will it bo valuable as an organ to disabuao tho Northorn mind of the falsehoods in relation to Southern thought and actione, with which it is tho industrious vocation of certain parties to poison the springs of Northern feeling on Southern subjects. In this view of tho matter, no more valuable aid to tho true reconstruction of tho country and restora? tion of just ten timi nt at the North toward tho South can be rendered than by sub? scribing to the WEEKLY GLEANER and sending it to acquaintances and friends in tho Northorn Statca. We ask the aid of such of our political comrades as shall eoe this prospectus, in the distribution of the paper; especially during the progresa of tho impending campaign. fc The WEEKLY GLEANER is published every Wednesday morning, and mailed to single subscribers at $8.00 per anum; Six Months, il.50; Threo Months, 75c; Single Copies, 10c.
