A gontleman who left Coushatta yesterday morning reports all quict, and the citizens woro disoussing the propriety of removing the prisoners to Shrove- port, It wos reportad to-lay that tho prisoners woro intorcepled near Mansflold by o party of Tosans, and bung; but the drivor of tho Mansfleld stogo, which bas just arrived, prononnced tho report ontirely unfounded. Tho T¥mes bos just roceived the following from Mindou: A g‘ontlom:m Just up from the Rod River woys that the compnny of mon who startod to Blhiroveport with the Coushatta prison- ors wero overtaken 28 milen below Shrevoport on Sunduy ovening about 3 o'clock by forty or fitty srmod imon, suppoecd to bo Texana from boyond tho Subino, who took tho priconers oub of tho hands of tho guard sud killed Bomor Twitcholl, Bob Dewitt, and Fravk Edgoiton on tho wpot. The other threo, Howell, olland, nud Villas, excaped, but wero_recapturod, and aro supposed to have shared the same fato, The prisoners requested to bo taken to Bhrove- port, and soleotod tho mon ta taka charge of the company that was to guard thom. Kvory pro- caution was belioved to bo necossary to insure their snfoly. Tho citizons wero satisfled with their pssuranco thot thoy would leave tha Stato, and did not desire to tako Liarsh measuros. Tho Toxans swore they did not intend to havo snch dammeod scoundrely lmut[ufihumnu in thoir Stato. Tho gentleman from whom wo gathor this information says he saw tho dead bodies of the throo first montioned parties. This dispateh is notgoneralty creditad Loro, ns various pactics havoe arrived to-day from Mausflald, Xochio, and XKingston, who must bavo passod near the scone of the murdors this morsing, snd they bring no information ou o subject. ~ Strong lLiopos sre entortainod thut this roport, like the varlior ones, moy prove untrue.

Congressman Ilnys, of Alabamsa, who arrived horo to-day, confirms this story, and adds much more of thossmogort. IInys was a privato in the_robol army, but since the War has boen a Ropublican, and Las been electod sovoral timos to Congroes by majorities ranging as bigh 08 10,000 t0 12,000, 1fo wnys that sithough his district will give, on o full voto, about 12,000 Ke-~ publican njority, made up, iu the main, of colorod votes, yet such ia tho reign of terror in- augnratod there b'j' tho late rebel elomont that if au olection should bo held to-morrow be is con- fidont that NONE BUT WHITE VOTES WQULD BE POLLED, Ho statea that never in the last ton years has lifoe boon so inscoure or freo specch o uttorly impracticablo in Alabama a8 now. . Congressman Polham, of tha Bame Blato, who mnde Limsolf particularly obuoxious lnst winter by voting for the Civil ights bill, was compolled to loave his dstrict in the night, piloted by a nogro guido, walking 10 miloq froma bis hotel to a railrond station.
