This evening, by freight train, forty-five horses nd about thirty men, said to have been released from the Parish Prison for the purpose, left for Brashear. They passed over the ferry in Citizens’ clothes, They are intended to reinforce the Metropolitans. GREAT EXCITEMENT prevails in the city, the news of a battle between Colonel Deblanc and the Metropolitans being mo- mentarily expected. AN ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE KELLOGG. This evening at half-past four o'clock as Mr. Kel- logg was coming out of the office of the Morgan Steamship Company, corner of Natchez alley and Magazine street, he was accosted by Mr. Charles R. Bailey, a prominent merchant of this city, who said :— “Are you Mr. Kellogg?” Kellogg stared at him, but did not answer. Railey then said:— “If you are you are a cowardly, swindling scoundrel, and if you will stand like a man I will treat you as you deserve.” Mr. Kellogg made no answer; but, tufning pre- ternaturally pale, sprang into his carriage. Just at this moment Mr. A PISTOL suoT ‘was heard, and Mr. Kellogg instantly placed his hands to his head and cried out, “Take me home! Vmshot!” The carriage immediately drove ort, We have found it impossible to ascertain who fired the shot. Several people saw the smoke, but no one saw the shooting. AN EYEWITNESS’ ACCOUNT OF THE AFFAIR, Mr. Hutchinson, of the firm of C. A. Whitney & Co., said:—“This morning a detachment of police took charge of and picketed the wharf of the Texas Railroad Company. They interfered with busi- mess to an unwarrantable extent and created con- siderable alarm. I rebuked Captain Flanagan, * who wasin charge, and sent word to Mr. Kellogg, expressing my disapprobation of their conduct. ARRIVAL OF KELLOGG. At half-past four o'clock Kellogg called at the ofMfce in his carriage, to explain the matter, While doing so his carriage at the door was imme- diately Surrounded by A LARGE AND EXCITED CROWD, who commenced jeering and denouncing him. Just as the negro was driving of some one in the crowd fired a pistol, wounding Kellogg, it is said, in the neck. The driver immediately plied the whip and drove up Natches street at a furious pace. The crowd lingered for some time in the NeW YORK HERALD, THU RSDAY, MAY: 8, 1873—TRIPLE SHEET. neighborhood and the utmost excitement pre- | PROCLAMATION BY M’ENERY—OUTRAGES DENOUNCED, < ‘alled, THE SHOOTING DONE BY A BOY. A bystander who witnessed the whole affair called at the Herald office to state that the shoot- ing was done by a boy about sixteen years of age, who escaped at a rapid pace down Magazine street. Mr, Kellogg was taken to the St. Charles Hotel, where he arrived very badly frightened, but unhurt, KELLOGG’S STATEMENT. Immediately om learning of the shooting we despatched a reporter to Mr. Kellogg's residence, on Prytania street, just above Clio, presuming that he would be taken home at once if injured as reported, On arriving at the house he found that Mr. Kellogg had not yet arrived, and the inmates were entirely ignorant of the affair, as no an- nouncement had as yet reacbed home. From Mr. Kellogg's residence our reporter went at once to the headquarters of General Emory, corner of Camp and Delora streets, where he arrived just in time to see General Emory dismount from his carriage. Engaging that gentleman in conversation relative to the shooting and the rumors concerning it they entered the building, and in a few mo- ments afterwards Mr. Kellogg himseif entered the door, looking quite natural and smiling. He shook hands with General Emory, who inquired if he had been hurt. KEt1oaa—Oh, no. Some foolish fellow shot at me as I came out of Charles Morgan's office, but did not hart me. The whole thing, you see, oc- curred in this way. I rode in my carriage, accom- panied by Uaptain George Norton, round to Mor- gan’s office to see Captain. Hutchinson on some business, Arriving there I jumped out, and told Norton he need not wait, as I should be detained some little time. He thereupon left and I entered the office to see Captain Hutchinson. I remained there about twenty or thirty minutes and when! came out I noticed quite a crowd of persons standing on the banquette, out did not attach any special signifi- cance to that fact. Just as Iwason the polnt of entering my carriage a gentleman whom I did not know approached me and asked if my name was Kellogg. On my answering in the affirmative he began cursing me. I donot remember what he said, but I replied, ‘I don’t know you, sir,” and stepped into tne carriage. As we were turning into Natchez alley, a moment after, a pistol was fired by some one unknown to me, and instantly I felt a peculiar SENSATION IN THE BACK OF MY NECK. 1 think the ball cut through my hair and must have come through the back of the Carriage top. At any rate, for some reason I do not now under- stand, I fell forward on the front seat and the carriage dashed forward at a rapid rate. The driver evidently being scared, I found it impos- sible to restrain him, and we dashed along over toward Carondelet street, and into the stable. There I got out and came up here. That is the whole story.”” KELLOGG CONGRATULATED, While Mr. Kellogg was narrating the incidents of his narrow escape quite @ number of persons dropped in, having heard the flying rumors, and when he closed his story they stepped forward and congratulated him. Dr. Kellogg, Judge Howell and others of Kellogg's adherents were among those who first offered their congratulations. ANOTHER STATEMENT. Another eye-witness made the following state- ment:—“The young man who fired the shot was about three paces behind the carriage as it turned into Natchez street, followed by a loud and jeering crowd. The shot penetrated the back of the carriage. The man was well dressea, very quiet and very collected.” MORE OUTRAGES. W. R, Fish, editor of the New Orleans Republican, and8.C. Dibble, ex-Judge, have both been as- saulted and beaten on Canal street, The most in- tense excitement exists in the city. A Sharp Engagement at St. Martinsville. NEw ORLEANS—Midnight. At eleven o'clock the Picayune received the fol- lowing despatch trom New Iberia, datea 8:45 P.M. ELEVEN O’CLOCK.—A sharp engagement took place to-day at St. Martinsville. The po- lice at two o'clock made a _ sortie from the town and attacked the forces of Colonel De Bianc, who fell back before them, The police fred with solid shot and shells from their cannon, but without effect. They advanced about one mile and & half beyond the town and made a stand, but retreated, after a brisk skirmish, before the advancing forces of Colonel De Blanc, THE UNITED STATES TROOPS DELAYED. The troops will not be able to leave for Brashear till one o'clock to-morrow. They will arrive at New Iberia at twe o'clock on Friday morning. They then have ten miles to march to St. Martins- ville, DANCING UNDER DIFFICULTIES, A ball was given at Brashear City to-night, to which all the United States ofMfcers were invited, but all the Metropolitans were excluded. COLONEL DE BLANG in command of the citizen forces was regularly commissioned by Governor McEnery last winter as a regular colonel of militia, and the forces were organized by him some time ago under his com- mission. They have, however, been largely re- cruited by volunteers. ACTION OF THE GRAND JURY—KELLOGG & CO. IN- DICTED. The Grand Jury of this parish have been iooking into the matter closely, and after having critically and profoundly weighed the indictments which were severally made, both against McEnery and Kellogg, have presented William Pitt Kellogg and all those alding and abetting him in his usurpa- tion of the government of the State of Louisiana. The Grand Jury proclaim that the right of self- government is guaranteed to us by the Censtitution of the United States, and declare that in their opinion the Metropolitan police should be regarded as criminais for abandoning their post of duty. They request Judge Abell through the Attorney General, to summon William Pitt Kellogg, who claims to be Governor; James Longstreet, who claims to be Major General of the militia, and A. 8. Badger, Superintendent of Metropolitan police, to answer by what authority the police are sent from the city. The Grand Jury further declare that Kellogg has violatea his oath in sending the police into the country, thereby jeopardizing the lives and property of the citizens of New Or- leans, They are of the opinion that the usurpers should be criminally prosecuted, Judge Abell ordered that the report be filed and subpenas issue for the individuals named in the report to appear before the Grand Jury to answer the } charges made against them, The sacking of the gun shops last night has aroused public condemnation, and is utterly repu- diated by the citizens, In relation thereto Gov- ernor McEnery has issued the following prociama- tion:— To THE PEOPLE OF NEW ORLEANS:— I cannot permit the events of yesterday to pass by without calling your attention to a certain transaction that can only bring down reproach and shame upon the good name of this great city and its people, With the object of the meet- ings called yesterday and last night, which was to give expression to our sympathy and perhaps extend material aid to the heroic Deblanc and his brave people, who are baring their breasts in defence of the integrity of their homes and against the infamous usurpation which to-day affects to govern the State, I most heartily sym- pathize, These brave men deserve the active con- tenance and support of every honest man in the State, But the disorderly tumult and riotous action of some of the residents of this city, who after the adjournment of the meeting Jast night broke into and sacked the gun stores of Messrs. Muage & Folsom, cannot be too severely condemned, 1 hereby, in the name of the good and true men of this State, characterize such acts as dis- graceful and calculated onty to bring down disaster upon the cause for which we, in common, are struggling, and I do sincerely hope that the plunderers may be detected and punished to the full extent afforded by our criminal Courts and the law. ‘The cause of honest and just government in this State can but be subserved by peaceful, honest, determined and lawful resistance upon the part of its good People. If war is levied and armed attacks matie, we can but resist. But if no: attacked, our true policy is one of peace. JOHN McENERY, INTERVIEW WITH GENERAL EMORY, As there were flying rumors on the street to the effect that United States troops were to be for- warded to the scene of the conflict a reporter of the HERALD at New Orleans concluded vo see what authority there was for them, and proceeded at once to General Emory’s headquarters, corner of Delord and Camp streets, about half-past five o’clock this evening, but found that the General was not in, Not to be bafiled, our reporter proceeded to the St. Louis Hotel, only to meet with another disap- pointment. The General was not there, and no- body could tell where to find him, Believing the surest place to find an officer is at headquarter), | he wenfled: his) way thitherward again, and thi’ | sine Allover the ‘State’ to’ ¥éslat'ttie! ellogir Immediately | time was rewarded for his trouble, on sending in his name the General ordered him to be shown up to his office, where he received him with military politeness, RerorTeR—General, I have called to see you to ask whether or not there has been any requt- sition made upon you for troops, cither by Mr. Kellogg or Marshal Packard. General Emony—Yes, sir; Marshal Packard has Made a requisition upon me for troops to act as @ posse comitatus to execute writs of arrest against certain parties in St. Martin Parish. I shail send @ company off to-morrow morning, Now, sir, 1 have answered your questions and shall ask you some. Is there to be a row to-night ’ RePorTER—I think not, sir. I have no idea that any serious disturbance is meditated, though the peonle are naturally much excited. General Emory—If you knew of any intention to have a riot I think you ought to tell me, because it can do your peopie no possible good, and it will be my duty to put it down with a rough hand. I am determined not to permit any riot, and it is strange to me that your people can't see that every act of violence, every disturbance, every negro that you kill, only tends to strengthen the government that you desire to overthrow, and to render your case more hopeless before Congress, REPORTER—They are fully aware of that fact, General; they fully appreciate the force of your reasoning. But what would you have them do? Submit quietly and pusillanimously to a govern- ment they do not recognize as having any founda- tion in right or law? General Emony—Submission does not necessarily imply pusillanimity. You can maintain a resist- ance before the Courts, REPORTER—The Courts of the State are effec- tually closed against us, and are notoriously in the interest of the Kellogg government. General Emory—There are the United States Courts. REPORTER—They are closed too to all intents and purposes. The Supreme Court has postponed the consideration of our case expressly, as it seems, to remit the whole question to Congress. General Emory—Well, sir, you will find that Con- gress will not be inclined to take your case into consideration if there are any more Colfax affairs. REePORTER—The Coliax affair, General, was re- garded as having been extremely unfortunate through the necessary result of the condition of affairs existing in Grant parish. At this moment visitors were announced, and our reporter, thanking the General for his cour- tesy and candor, bowed himself out just as District Attormey Beckwith and Mephistophiles Beckwith bowed themselves in.
