More News from Madison, Hinds, and Warren [Counties]–A gentleman from the above [counties] brings us the following news: While at Spring Hill, on the 6th, from 15 to 20 gentlemen rode up from Madison County. They stated that they had hung at Livingston several negroes, and two white men, Cotton and Sanders, both steam doctors, and occasionally preachers. They had obtained from Cotton a list of about fifty white men, who were concerned in the conspiracy to excite the negroes to rebellion, fourteen of whom they had already caught and had them in chains at Vernon and Livingston. They had but a few minutes previous caught another named Rawson, and said they were near four others that they meant to have before morning. The next morning our informant went to Squire Sharkey’s, where a number had assembled. Squire S. said that Madison men should not take the prisoners out of the county—a disagreement was the result, and they were discharged. This same company caught and confined a man by the name of Blackman.

Having reached Vicksburg, our informant inquired the particulars respecting the affair there, and was informed that the city had been a rendezvous for gamblers, murderers and swindlers, who had hitherto hid defiance to the law and decent citizens. Since the alarm of an intended insurrection, well grounded suspicion has rested on many white men, as instigators and originators of the plot, and the gamblers, itinerant preachers, steam doctors, and clock peddlers, were generally considered the guilty leaders. Some of the negroes who were first apprehended, implicated them, and two white men were hung at Livingston made similar confessions. The citizens of Vicksburg formed an anti-gambling society on the 4th, and at night Lynched one of the fraternity. The next morning they gave public notice that all gamblers must leave the town in twenty-four hours.

That night another was Lynched. The next morning the citizens understood that a noted gambler, named North, had defied them, barricaded his house, and had employed several of his fellows to guard him, his house, and themselves. The volunteers were immediately assembled, and the citizens en masse united, marched to the residence of North and demanded admittance, and an unconditional surrender of the inmates. They were refused and told that those within could protect themselves. The front door was forced, the occupants fired, and Dr. H. Bodley, a gentleman of great worth, was instantly killed. This unexpected reception aroused the citizens to madness and desperation. A rush was made, and the Gamblers were secured—four in number. North and a notorious confederate not being found in the house, one of the most worthless of the four informed where they were to be found, and were soon secured. The miserable informer was released and ordered off immediately, and the other five were marched to the common gallows and hung.

While at Vicksburg, a party came in from Madison after a fellow by the name of Blacke; Capt. Doyle, one of the party, stated that after our informant had left Madison, four white men had been hung! A number were in confinement and would be hung.

Hiram Perkins, of Madison, was shot from a house opposite Shameway’s, near Queen’s Hill, in Hinds County, by a gang of confederates; they were on the march to take the guilty. Captain Doyle, with a party of volunteers from Vicksburg, left on the 8th, with Blake in irons.

Mr. Dixon arrived at Vicksburg on the evening of the 8th, and stated that Perkins was alive and could not survive, and that another of the party, Mr. Hedge, was slightly shot. More had been hung in Madison, but how many could not be ascertained. About twenty had certainly been apprehended.

The New Orleans Bulletin of the 12th inst. contains the following paragraph in addition to the above:

The steamer Freedom confirms the report of the execution of the Vicksburg gamblers, and also states that on the 4th inst. a quarrel originated on DeerCreek, Washington county, Mississippi between one Hashburger and Chaney, and that on the 6th, Chaney and his friends were attacked by Hashburger and his friends, which attack resulted in the death of two of each party, viz: Chaney and Wm. Chance, Mr. Howard, and a negro belonging to Hashburger, and Richard Chance badly wounded. It was reported at Vicksburg on the 9th, that in consequence of the difficulties among the gamblers’ insurrections, and others, twenty-six persons, white and black, suffered death in the State of Mississippi on the 6th inst.
