In the Chronicle and Sentinel of Thun. day morning appeared the following local article: ‘•Columbia Oouktt.—Beporta coma to ua from Oolnmbia county that an inanr- lection of the oolored people is appre hended in one aection of the ouuuty. Theee reports are of the regnant charac- . tar, and teem to rest upon the moat shad owy foundation. Undoubtedly, however, some appreheoaion eziata among the whiten, and we hear of preparations being made for trouble should it oome. If the negroes should contemplate suoh a thing they would be very foolith to attempt it nnleaa they are ambitious ol extermina tion." These reports had come to ua in suoh a way that we hoped, aa we believed, that they had been grossly exaggerated, and that the trouble would disappear without bloodshed or violent*. These hopes, we regret to write, have not been realised. The turbulenoe of a few bad colored men had resulted In their death, and appre hensions are entertained that the end is not yet. ran comMHoiMBKT or in tboublb Dates some time book. The negroes of district number three in Columbia conn ty, distant about twenty or twentv-two miles from Augusta, began a month more ago to act iu such a manner as to cause serious alarm upon the part of the whites. They purchased arms, organized a oompany, and oommenoed to drill, i ho oitisens of the district did not objeot to the formation of this oompany, nor had they any right to object, if it had appear ed that it was gotten up aa all the other military compuniea in the State have been —for the purpose of amusement. But it •soon became evident that this organiza tion was really a declaration of war, and wns to'be so considered.' Violent and re peated threats were constantly made against the whites, in langusge whose itn. pot- could not be misconstrued. About two' weeks ago, Thomas Boyd, a colored man, who had joined the company and drilled with it regula-ly, resigned bis membership. He then took oocasion to inform bis employer, privately, that he had joined the company for the purpose of amusement, but he had soon discov ered that the objeot of the organization was something widely different. He said that they were preparing for WAB WITH THE WHITES, and as he did not sympathize with thoir feelings, he bad left them. The ring leaders of the movement were fonr color ed.men—Sake Doggett, Delaney Doggolt (brothers), Fountain Doggett (their father), and a man named Ted. The fonr . lived together, and pretended to cultivate " a small farm—though their principal ob ject was the sowing of discord betweon the raoes. Founts n Doggett repeatedly stated that the negroes were now in a po sition to defend themselves, and if they needed assistance, that it had been prom ised by the militia of Edgefield county, B. 0., who were only separated from them by the Savannah river. They pretended to be afraid of Ur. Uobert Larnkin, bo- oause several years ago that gentlemen bad had trouble with Dome of them. In order to give them no excuse for further persistence in their seditious conduct, the citizens requested Ur. L. to go away for a while, whiuh request ha cheerfully and "Immediately complied with—going, we believe, to Uaoon. But this concession seemed to have no effeot, except to rnako the negroes worse and more inBubordi- nate. A few days ago, while Ur. Uinor Luke was at work in hie field, unarmed, Delanoy Doggett approached, apparently for the express purpose of PBOVOKXNO A COLLISION. He aooosted Ur. Luka in the most vio- lent and profane langusge. He deolared that his people were armed now and that they intended to have revenge. He said the Ku-Klux had killed the negroes in 1870, and that they were going to have blood for blood. Threats were made against Ur. LukS’e life and the lives of several gentlemen residing in the neigh borhood. A meeting of the company had been called for yesterday and it was feared that on that day they might attempt to execute their threatened vengeance. The whites had, 1 therefore, determined - to meet them on that occasion, to remon strate with them and attempt to bring them to reason. But on Tbnrsdsy two citizens, alarmed by the threats which had been made against their lives, bad warrants taken out against the four oolor- ed men above mentioned. Friday morn, ing, between daylight and eight o'clock, these warrants were executed by Deputy Sheriff Peter Wright and a small posse of men. The engross were srrested end officers sad prisoners started for Appling Court House. Wheq they Micbed Major MObnt BOBlV KILL One of the prisoners—Delsnsy Doggett— refined to go eny farther.
