I M arti rr P>ad Pillage atc li Icol, Ark arima?. l\ A Memphis despatch, under date of '? the 20tb, contains the following details 1 of the negro insurrection at Ohioot, i Arkansas, previously alluded to in oar telegraphic columns: Reports previously sent in these de? spatches, regarding the killing of three white men by negroes, at Ohioot, Ark., and the evacuation of that town by all its inhabitants, is folly confirmed to? night by the arrival of some fifteen or twenty refugees from that place-men, women and children, many of whom fled without a change of clothing or food, so great waa their terror. They report that the negroes, to tho number of 800, took possession of tho town, patroled the streets, pillaged the stores and dwellings, and set fire to soveral. The citizens say that the sheriff is power? less,, and, although a Republican, dare not venture out. ? letter from him, brought to the authorities here by one of the refugees, oonfirms that portion of the statement. In several instances the savages had resorted to rapine, and under no consideration would they per? mit the batial of the three men killed, and to-day their bodies are probably lying in the woods, a prey for buzzards. Those who arrived here walked fifteen miles through the woods at night, to escape the negroes, and are without the necessities of life. A subscript ion is now being raised, and they will be cared for. One of them states that nt the time the negroes attaoked the town, as high as $100 wore offered for skiffs with which to get away. Governor Hadley, of Arkansas, bas been fully notified oi this, but whether he has taken, any ac? tion or not, is not known. Further par? ticulars are anxiouely looked for. LATRB.-A messenger has just arrived from Ohioot, Ark., with letters from prominent representative citizens and the sheriff to the authorities at Wash? ington, begging assistance. The mes? senger states that those who were unable to get away are now compelled to re? main in town by negroes, all of whom are armed. One boat that contained ? family escaping for refuge was fired inte by negroes, and one person killed. Thc negroes then ordered the boat to retort to the Bhore, which it did. A reign o terror exists. MIDNIGHT.-It now appears, from the statement of n passenger who just ar rived per 3tcamor from below, thal Un plot to release and hang the three whit? men at Ohioot, Arkanans, had been com? municated to the negroes living in Mis aissippi, and that a numbet of then aided in the cold-blooded murders ol luded to in the previous despatches. I also appears that the origin of the di01 oulty was a discussion between G. W Wynn and John H. Saunders, tho for mer a negro lawyer recently frou Washington, as lo tho vote of the Ooun ty subscribing money to railroads-om defending and tho other opposing tin vote-resulting in tho killing of Wynn as previously mentioned. Saunder and two friends were confined in jai until the 15th, when 100 armed negroe rode into town, and, on pain of instan death, demanded tno keys from the abe nil', whiob he delivered, and the prison era wero taken out, us before stated, an killed. It seems from tho information re reived to-night, that the negroes have m s j or i ty of over five to one, ami tbs they ure controlled by Republican ofhot holders, whom Governor Hadley woul rather not interfere with. Hence, tb applioatiou made to-night to Presider Grant to send a regiment of troops tbei to quell the disturbance and forco th I negroes to return to their homes. It : further mated that all negroes within radius of fifty miloo on both aides of tl Mississippi River have oolleoted t Ohicot, and defy the Stuto us well na tl National Government, threatening 1 burn, kill and ravish, if an attempt made to arrest or punish them. A KNOWING MISEB. -A gentlenu called ou a rich miser, and found him the table endeavoring to catch a fl Presently he succeeded in entrappit one, which ho immediately put into tl sugar-bowl, and shut down tho cove The gentleman asked for an explanatic of this singular sport. "I'll tell you," replied tho miser, triumphant griu overspreading his oou tenanoe ns bo spoke, "I want to ase? tain if the servants steal the sugar." A mouse in Belfast, Maine, was foun the other day, frozen stiff upon a hat mer. Investigation showed that in pic ing up something that lay on the head the hammer, tho tongae of the mou had frozen to it, and being unable to ? away, it died.
