The Sheriff and his off, 2M barely escaped with their lives, and the scenes ’ which occurred while they were down in that country, among the negroes, they date L ve indescribable. TJje negro- -eh like i? pack of domoiuL; jJ.-—• ~„ R , ,^y from slaying the party -ad shonted, yelledand' conducted themselves in a most outrageous manner. They appeared to be thoroughly or ganized, armed with new muskets, with bayo nets, and to have regular leaders, or Captains, who directed all their movements. Negroes, whom the white gentlemen present had never seen before, and whom they - did not know, suddenly appeared, and were recognized as leaders by the negroes, ESCAPE OP CAPT. TCCKIin AND MAJ. MIDDEETON. The Sheriff and his posso were accompa nied to the plantations by Capt..-T. F. Tucker and Major Mott Middleton. Those gentle men also went back to station No. 1 with, and left them there, and then retnrnpd to their own plantations. Finding that there was some trouble brewing, and hearing threats' against their lives, they started on. horsebaok to leave that section and return to the city. Knowing that the negroes Were in the vicinity .of station No. 1, they struck otf in another direction, reached the river, were ferried aorops, and arrived at No, 1J just as the train was leaving there for Savannah. They were taken on board, and arrived at Ibis city early -this morning, SUBSEQUENT BIOTOUS AOTS OP THE NEGBOES. Having driven off the ■ sheriff and Iiis offi cers, the negroes appear to have divided themselves into companies, each under com mand of a captain, and they thus marched hack to the plantations, On thGir way they met George Baxley, one of Mr. Middleton’s overseers, whom they surrounded in the woods and robbed of his gnn and every thing that he had about him. One of them struck him with the butt of a musket, and they threatened to kill him. The negro wo men appeared particularly anxious to have him murdored. Finally, however, they re leased him, and he started off through the woods to Southfield Plantation. When near there he heard shots fired and shouts and yells. He met his brother, a lad of twelve years of age, who had fled from the .place, and who told him that a gang of negroes had been there, sacked the houses, and driven his father away. The two then turned in an opposite direction, ascertained the route taken by Messrs. Middleton and Tucker, and proceede-d to follow them. Arriving at the river, they found an old eanoe, and met a fisherman who was also endeavoring to es cape. The latter and the boy r got into the canoe, Find starteG .mi or?-, it woi» nat large enough to contain the whole party, and George Baxley had to swim the river. Having put the stream between themselves and the ne groes, they proceeded to make-their way to this city. They were pursued all the way to the river bank by a gang of the blacks. THEIR OPERATIONS AT SOUTHFIELD PLUfTATION. About four o’clock in the afternoon one company of negroes, numbering about twen- tv, with muskets and fixed bayonets, headed by a captain, with a sword, came marching up the road to Southfield plantation. Mr. Reddin Baxley, R- C. Winn and James Don nell were in ’the barn yard. The negroes came into the enclosure and proceeded to at tack two colored men, who were employed as watchmen on the plantation. These men, Fortune Brown and George- Banyan ran, and shots were fired at them by the party. One negro was seen to run up to Fortune and make a lunge at him with a bayonet. He fell bnt whether he was killed or not is not- known, as none of the white men saw him afterwards. The negroes then turned to Mr. Baxley and demanded to know .where Mr. MirMIptnii ho3 crono, at the same tuao tering the most horrible imprecations against that gentleman and George Baxley, swearing hat they would kill them. They pointed their muskets-at Baxley, and declared they would kill him if he did not tell them the truth. He made answer that he believed they had gone over to Bryan county, party then went oft’ in the di river. ATTJLCK UPON MB. WIN»*. In the yara, one of the negroes had pointed a pistol at Mr. Winn, and threatened to shoot him. After this gang left, ho went from the yard to his house, situated out on the road' As he reached it he saw another com pany coming up. Feeling himself powerless to make any resistance against such a crowd, he stood in the door way of his honse and awaited their coming. His frightened wife and children gathered about him, all expect ing that the negroes were comiDg to murder •them. When about fifty yards from the dwel ling they motioned to Winn to leave the door; and he, expecting that they were going to shoot, jumped out in front of the house, and away from the door, to save his wife and chil dren from being fired at. As he jumped was caught by the arms by two negroes who had come np, and they held him while a third struck him a tremendous blow over the right eye with the bntt of a musket. He feU senseless at their feet, and the blood flowed profusely from the wound. The scoundrels, supposing him to 4“>4 toft IW™ On recovering Mr Winn-arose from the ground, and sat down upon a chair, with the blood still streaming from his wounded fore head.

Under this decision’ nothing was left but for the Sheriff to summon his posse comitatus. WAHHANTS TAKEN OUT. " • One hundred and fifty warrants against Ogeechee negroes were issued by Justice P. M. Russell, Jr., for robbery by force upon the public highway, robbery by intimidation, assault with.intent to murder, and larceny. These were placed in the hands of Sheriff Dooner. A warrant against Solomon Farley and others was also issued by Justice Marsh. ESCAPE OP Q’DQNALD—HIS STATEMENT. . O’Donald, one of Mr. Middleton’s watch men, who was supposed to have been killed, arrived in the cify yesterday evening. He Rtates that the negroes' come and took him out of his house, struck him in the head with the butt of a musket, beat and kicked him. They marched him up and down the yard, stopping every few minutes to give him a beating, and finally turned him loose, telling him that lie had butter leave quick, and not come back there anymore or they would murder him. O’Donald went off about a mile, and took, refuge in the house of u. colored, man, where ho remained until morning, and timn started for this city. FORTUNE NOT KILLED. O’Doaald states that the colored man For tune was not killed; that when he was chased he made for the river and dived in, just as a bayonet lunge was made at him. He then swam away from the place. THE'WOMEN AND CHILDREN SAFE. From the same source we learn that the women and children belonging to Winn’s and Baxley’s families were released by the negroes, and spent the night at Mr. Hogan’s place, where he (O’Donald) left them yes terday morning. AT SOUTHFIELD PLANTATION. Before starting to the city, Mr. O’Donald went back to Southfield plantation, to hunt for his little hoy who had been left there the night before. He found the child all right, and the parties of lawless vagabonds gone. They had spent the night at Mr. Middleton’s house, nud had completely cleaned it and the other houses of their contents. He saw no negroes on the place except the regular hands, who had come up to go to work, hut there was no one to assign them their tasks, and they were lounging about the premises.
