While that reference told the simple truth about the bank, there was nothing tn 1t to produce distrust and to start a run upon its deposits. Of course no banking institution in the land can well afford to invite runs upon its deposits, and it is not gener- -ous toexcite such runs without good and almost irresistible necessity. Within the last eighteen months the Freedman’s Bank, by reason of sus- picions set afloat through the press and otherwise, has suffered three heavy runs upon its deposits. The one of these which occurred during the la! financial panic required half a million sollars to carry the bank safely through it, and the fact that ‘It was able to survive a shock which brought other jong standing and long trusted institutions to the ground, may just now be stated without boasting dn its favor. ¥ The Freedman’s Bank, as its name imports, was especially established to encourage and assist the freedmen to save and increase their hard earned money and thus to help them in the race to knowledge and higher civilization.

Details of the Fight at New Gasconv. “Governor” Baxter Condemns Bloodshed. “GOVERNOR” BROOKS TO THE PRESIDENT. Midnight Skirmishing in Little Rock. RELEASE OF PRISONERS Lite Roox, Ark., May 1, 1874. As I predicted in my second despatch yesterday, the battle of New Gascony is a fact of history. A very meagre account was received here last night, and immediately telegraphed to you. Fuller de- tallsare now a@t nand,so thatIcan give youa somewhat more interesting narrative of the fight. EQUIPMENT OF THE AGGRESSIVE FORCE, Colonel King White, in command of a body of cavalry and infantry, early yesterday left Pine Bluffon board the steamer Belle of Texas, to at- tack Brooks! recruiting station at New Gascony. The aggressive force wa® composed of forty Mounted men, provided with horses from the plundered stables at Pine Bluff,.and of 200 foot soldiers. They were all well armed with Spring- field and Enfield rifles and heavy shotguns, THE SCENE OF CONFLICT. The village of New Gascony consists of one store ang three or four dwelling houses. It is situated about sixteen miles below Pine Buf, on the left bank of the Arkansas River. UNEVEN NUMBERS AND A SHORT FIGHT, Brooks’ men numbered about 100, commanded by Captains Murphy and Vanaesande. They were Poorly armed and had only bird shot for ammu- nition, Colonel White surrounded the store which they occupied and opened the engagement with a volley of bullets, The Brooks partisans returned the fire, but were soon overpowered by the superior force which attacked them. They were taken prisoners and all were immediately disarmed, THE KILLED AND WOUNDED. The casualties in this amateur battle were quite Considerable in number and some of them ofa tragic, while many of them were at least of a seri- ous, nature. On the Brooks side there were ten negroes killed and twenty wounded. Of Baxter’s force, half of whom were whites, there were three killed and seven wounded. Several of the horses were killed and wounded, ; 4 LEADER HURT. Captain Vandesande, one of the leaders on the side of Brooks, was dangerously wounded. He had been @ colonel in the federal army. TRIUMPHAL BETEEAT. Most of the defeated warriors, having been dis- armed, werg released. The men of White's com- mand then embarked on a steamboat, and arrived at Pine Bluf at a late hour last night. Murphy and Vandesande were brought along as prisoners. The wounded were leit at New Gascony, and to- day Sherif Vaughan, of Jefferson county, sent two surgeons to the village to attend them. THE PRISONERS ON BOTH SIDES RELEASED, The Gazette remarks, editorially, that the war is opened, and will extend throughout the State unless the President takes speedy action in the Matter. If Brooks and Baxter fight, afew more King Whites would settle the present trouble. It is rumored that Baxter is much annoyed at this proceeding by White, and that ne and his generals do not seem to agree, Churchill, doubt- less because of recent expérience, thinks that the policy of making arrests on either side is nonsense. Governor Baxter is of the same opinion, Blocher, who commands this Post, wants to arrest all who sympathize with Brooks, This afternoon, however, ail the pris- oners in the State House were released, and also all those whowere confined in Baxter’s guard- houses, FIRING ALL NIGHT, Late last night several adherenta of Baxter ad- vanced towards Brooks’ line and fired pistol shots ‘at his advanced pickets. Nobody was hurt. Stray Pistol and gun shots were heard at all hours of the night, i DEMOORATIC APPEAL IN FAVOR OF BROOKS, A number of prominent democrats have just issued an address to the people, in which they say that, after personal consultation with Mr. Brooks, they confidently assure the citizens of the State of his fidelity to his platform of 1872; that thé charge that he has bartered principle for office 1s utterly groundless; that he will not defraud the people of their votes at the fall elections; and that the ma- jority of the Legislature have privately declared that they will not meet at Baxter’s call. 4 COVERT THREAT. They appeal to the people not to be deluded into the movement looking to his ejection py force, which would result in ruin to themselves and dis- aster to the State. They ask of the people for him a fair trial, and they say that then all will be well; and they declare that he was truly elected and is Governor. The Latest from Pine Bluff—Ki White's Proclamation of Martial Law in Jefferson County—Sacking Farms and Plantations. Lirris Rock, Ark., May 1—11 P, M, Sheriff! Vaughn was arrested to-day by King White and imprisoned. King White and his com. mand left there this afternoon to attack Brooks! force organizing 10 Arkansas county under Shiltman and Savage, amounting to about 300 men, partially armed, but not well supplied as regards ammunition, It 1s stated that White’s command has been sacking plantations, impressing horses, guns and so forth, Major General Cotterson has been relieved of the command of the militia of the State and assigned to command the troops at the capital. Major General Fagan has been assigned to command all State guards and militia in tne state. He has appointed his staff, all of whom, except two, are, lke himself, prominent ex-Coniederates. He also has published an address to the people of the State, indorsing Brooks and giving reasons for supporting him. RELBASE OF PRISONERS, A cartel was signed to-day by Fagan and New- ton to the effect that each party shall release all Prisoners now in custody; no arrests to be made except of parties in actual hostility or for breach of the peace; in case an arrest is made by either Party, whether by the civil or military authority, the person arrested shall be turned over and dealt with by his own commanders; that the Public thoroughfares are to be free and unob- structed; that in case either party wishes to ter- minate the agreement, six hours’ notice shall be given; that nothing in the above shall be construed as binding the parties to interfere where arrests are made by tne Sherif upon warrants or legal Process, ‘The city is getting rather unsafe, people being Popped at every night with either shotguns or pistols, KING WHITE’S PROCLAMATION Of martial law reads as follows :— In obedience to instructions from Governor Eli- sha Baxter, through Major General Newton, com- the Arkansas State militia, the under- igned hereby proclaims martiai law in Jefferson county and assumes command of the military forces that are now or may be hereafter raised 10 said county. i. iG WHITE, Brigadier General Arkansas State Militia.

A special from Pine Bluff gives the following ad- ditional particulars of the fight of yesterday :— The Brooks men were being drilled near a stone church, when on the appearance of White's com- mand they éntrenched themselves behind a fence and fought till their ammunition was exhausted. Vandesande was badly hurt, and, after being cap- tured, was beaten on the head with a heavy navy revolver. The Belle of Texas was seized by White for the expedition. THE BAXTER VIEW. The New Gascony Battle—General King White's Report—Severe Provocation by the Brooks Men—Differing Accounts of the Killed and Wounded. LirrLe Roox, Ark., May 1, 1874, The situation here is practically unchanged. Baxter’s headquarcers are still at the Anthony House, and he has about him some 300 men, Brooks still occupies the State House, with a force which is estimated at 500, mostly colored. The United States troops still occupy their po- sition between the opposing forces. In an address to the people General J. F. Fagan, who was a major general in the confederate army, this marning resumed command of Brooks’ forces ‘throughout the State and callea on his old com- rades to rally to his standard. Both parties seem to be waiting for some definite news from Wash- ington, THE PROVOCATION. There are few additional particulars of yester- day’s fight at New Gascony, Jefferson county. The following is the Gazette’s account of the affair, taken from despatches to the Baxter side :— On Wednesday General King White advised General Newton that a few of the men of John M. Clayton had gathered a number of colored men at New Gascony, and they, being unable to procure transportation to Little Rock, commenced plundering the citizens of that section. He asked permission to move a sufficient force to that point to disperse them, which was granted, with in- structions to protect everybody, without regard to color or politics. About eleven o’clock last night General Newton received oficial despatches irom Pine Bluff that General White had just returned from New Gas- cony and reports as follows :— GENERAL WHITE'S ACCOUNT. He found about 200 armed men at Corner Stone, Jefferson county. He sent forward three officers to order them to disperse, but they were fired upon without being heard, and a fight ensued, resulting in the death of nine and twenty wounded to the Brooks men, with the capture of the two leaders, Murphy and Vanderande, and eighty-two men, with the loss to him of seven men wounded and three horses killed and seven horses wounded. He discharged all the men to their homes after having disarmed them, ‘ Further advices state that there is another simi- lar organization of about 200 men in Lincoin and Arkansas counties, and General White has been directed to disperse them also. To-day a cartel for the exchange of prisoners was agreed upon between the two parties, and all the prisoners were released on both sides, and permission was given to citizens to pass both lines without molestation. The steamer Hattie is expected to-night with 150 men to reinforce Brooks’ side from Fort Smith. Baxter’s side, also, expects some rein- forcements. ANOTHER AND LATER DESPATCH. Another Gazette special from Pine Bluff to- night gives the following later particulars of the fight near New Gascony on Thursday :— Two hundred of brooks’ men, with Murphy and Van Desande as leaders, formed and threatened that they intended to come to Pine Bluff and take the Court House and burn every house in the city. General King White went down with eighty-six white and colored mounted and foot men, and after arriving within a short distance of the insur- gents, who were at a gin house on Asiley Place, he sent forward three staff officers anead to order the insurgents to disband. When the in- surgents saw the staff oMcers coming they immediately fired a volley upon them and orders from White were given to charge the insurgents. They made a stand at Corner Stone Church, and the fight began in earnest, but lasted only a short time. Six of White’s commana were wounded. Five of the insurgents were killed and twelve were wounded, and Murphy and Van Desande and sixty-three men were captured. All put the two leaders were re- leased on parole. Murphy and Van Desande are still in custody. Despatch from Brooks to the President. WASHINGTON, May 1, 1874. The following was received to-day :— LITTLE Rock, May 1, 1874. TO THE PRESIDENT H. King White, who fired on the commander of the United States troops, at Little Rock, has been ordered to Pine Bluff by Baxter, and is pil- laging and murdering. The State is perfectiy peaceful except in Jefferson county, the scene of White’s robberies and murders. I have refrained from sending out forces in order to avoid conflict. JOSEPH BROOKS, Governor of Arkansas. THE CONTESTANTS ARGUMENTS SUBMITTED. The attorneys for Baxter have submitted their arguments to the Attorney General, The News at Memphis—The Wounded and Dead. MeEmpnHis, May 1, 1874, Aprivate despatch from Pine Bluf, Ark., con- firms the report of the Associated Press last night with reference to the ight between the Baxter forces under General King White and Brooks’ forces, near New Gascony, The despatch states that E.

Italian Opera—Faust. Gounod’s opera was presented last night at the Acaaemy of Music, with the following cast:— Marguerite, Mme. Christine Nilsson; Siebel, Mile. Frida de Gebele; Faust, M. V. Capoul; Valen- Une, Signor Del Puente; Mephistopheles, Signor Nannetti. The Marguerite of Nilsson will always be remembered as the most finished and sym- pathetic impersonation of the rdle ever presented on the New York boards, and a fit companion picture to it is the artistic representation of the Utle r6le by Capoul. Both may be justly considered as the best Marguerite and Faust on the aperatic boards at resent. The Siebel of the erening, Mile Gebele, acted and sang likea trained artist, and Del Puente made the dying scene of Valentine @ feature in the opera, The season closes to-day with a matinee of “La Favor- ita,” and three extra performances will be given for the benefit of Mr. J. C. Fryer, on Sunday even- ing, tor M. Capoul, on Monday afternoon, and the last and the greatest, and most deserved, for the benefit of Impresario Max Strgkoseh, on Tuesday evening.
