The particulars are as fallows: Sheriff Stokes received infer Illation that Berry Hill, a negro of des pi rate character, who worked on the plantation of John 11. Dennison, was in the habit ol drilling fitly or sixty negroes. The -Sheriff, upon this ground, issued a warrant for Berry and placed it in Ihc hands of one of his Deputies, George \\ . Lee, and ordered him to make tho arrest. On fin fur Jay last>Deputy Leo summon oil a i ossee of leu -r twelve men and went lo the House of Berry for the pur pose of carrying out the order. M hen they l'ode up, they saw Berry standing in the yard in front of his house, Mr. Leo at once culled tojhirn lo come to him. But he retreated into hjs house and in an im.!.i the posse received a volley of i liucksliof from llio door of l'crry's holism i Thomas Melton, who had alighted from ' Ids horse, was wounded by Inis fires in l, ( ,th lliig I is.

They did so, broke down the door, entered the hguse and then fid owed a desperate light at close quarters. Berry was at last soiled but slid relmu'd to surrender, lie kept up the light aild event pally got out ol the i.iiuse aild into l|is yard.

I.'pon searching the house it was found iio be a inihature arsciiul, guns, pistols, [XiW'fei and shot, were tin re in piolu ! sion. The two men with Berry say they |di,l not fire a gun, and their story seejns lo ho believed.’ They were taken to Jet ier.sonville and lodged in jail. Ihe one (shot through the thigh was not danger ously hurt. The wounds of Mr. Melton j : are not dangerous. _ j ; Ifi ri v dill not wait until the object of Ihe Deputy and men was made known to him Put aS soon an he saw them rido up ‘ he ran into his house,-seized a double- | ’ barreled shot gun, and turned it loose j : uj on them from thisyloor. He then clos !ed and barred the door, ami when the ’ lire was returned by the party fired [six or eight times through cracks in the . house lie lireu at random aud did not : hit any one else.
