est satisfaction. aud relieved the public
anxiety. The substance of this bulletin
we have already published. 1t stated that
a detachment Of the troops came up With
a body of the rebels on the night Of the
18th. and dispersed them. On the l9th.|
they dispersed body Of 7 or 300, killing
and wounding from 10 to Is. On the GOTH
there we're three or four skirmishes, in
one of which six Of the rebels were killed, /,
end in another forty, besides many woun-|
ded. On the morning of the 2lst, de-
tachment, after lying on their arms thro'
the night, near party Of over 1900 OF the
rebels, and after unsuccessfully endeayou-
ring to persuade them to lay down their
arms, attacked and dispersed them with
the loss Of 100 or $50.


They visited the several estates as they
proceeded, and released the whites they
found confined. These prompt measures
shook the confidence of the insurgents,
and many Of them came forward to lay
down their arms. The governor then 49,
sued his proclamation offering full par
don to those who would deliver themselves
|up, with their arms and accoutrements
with 4S hours. This and other measures
produced the happiest effect. The well
disposed negroes, who had joined the in


surgents from compulslon or thoughtless-


mess, returned to their estates.


A council of officers was held. and twen-


ty-four of the most active and violent Of


the insurgents were selected, tried and


executed. A court martial was organised


in town, and the prisoners as they wers


brought in were brough to trial. twenty


three we're executed in town in pursu
ance of sentence, and several of then


we're to be hung in chains on their estates
Some of the ring lesders in custody ha'
F not been tried, and few had not been ar
rested. 1t appeared that not many ne
groes we're missing. Martial law still ex
listed at the date Of this publication, bu
!. was enforced less vigorously. All alarm
seems to have nearly ceased. This is
brief abstract of full and circumstantia


narrative, too long for publication in GU
