We are indebted to Mr. Tanney, mail agent, for the following particulars of a riot at Millican, in progress yesterday and the day previous: It seems that some days since a negro was found hanging on the Brazos. Suspicion attahed, whether justly or unjustly we know not, to two brothers named Holliday, residing on the outskirts of Millican. On Wednesday morning the negroes, who occupy a part of that town known as "Freedman's Town," armed themselves and went out with the intention of arresting the brothers, who, however, made their escape before the force reached their home. On the way to Holliday's they were met by Deputy Sheriff Bartilli, who expostulated with them on their design. They persisted, and he returned to town, where he armed twenty-five men and started back. In the road they met the negroes on their unsuccessful hunt after the Hollidays. There upon firing began. The whites say that the negroes formed in line of battle and fired first. No whites were hurt. Four freedmen were killed outright and several wounded, and the negroes driven to the woods. The whites then picketed the twon and sent for reinforcements. It is reported that negroes refusing to halt when challenged, were fired upon by the pickets and one or two killed. When the train reached Bryan it was seized by Sheriff Neil, of Brazos, who took it back with 125 armed citizens. The freight train which followed the mai[sic] train at one and a half hours distance, was also seized yesterday morning, we believe, at Bryan and sent back with armed citizens. We understand that conductor Spencer telegraphed yesterday from Bryan that fighting is still going on. The freedmen after being driven to the woods, rallied, returnedto their homes and armed themselves for retaliation. The riot appears to be the greatest we have had in Texas. There is no telegraph station at Millican, so that all our reports come through Bryan.

TEXAS- Serious Riot at Millican- Negroes Attempt to Hang a White Man- Fifteen Negroes Killed- Dispersion of the Mod by United States Troops. Galveston, July 17. - On the evening of the 15th, a riot commenced, at Millican, a station on the Central Railroad. A mob of about 25 negroes, led by a white school teacher and a negro teacher named Brooks, attempted to hang a man named William Haleday. The white citizens prevented the execution and headed by the Sheriff and an Agent of the Freedmens Bureau, attempted to suppress the mob. The attempt resulted in the death of ten or twelve negroes. On the 16th the numbers increased on both sides, and skirmishing occurred during the day. A small body of Federal troops arrived there late last evening, and killed three of the negroes and dispersed the mob who to the number of three to five hundred had entrenched themselves about three miles from Millican and refused to lay down their arms. The rioters have dispersed and gone home, after losing fifty to sixty of their number. It is now ascertained that the difficulty arose from the supposition that that a negro member of the Loyal League had been hung, but has since been found.

Riot at Millican Last week a very serious disturbance occurred at Millican, on the Central railroad, in which the lives of from fifteen to twenty negroes were sacrificed. To gain full and correct information in regard to the matter, we went up there to investigate, and ascertain whether there was any truth in the numerous and wildly exaggerated reports constantly being brought in, and the following is what we learned. It can be depended upon as correct. On Wednesday of last week a negro was reported killed in the Brazos bottom by a man named Holliday, and Parson Brooks, a negro demagogue and leader in the Loyal League, organized a party of about 75 negroes, armed and mounted them, and rode through Millican with the expressed intention of hanging Holliday. The latter, hearing of this demonstration, hastened to Millican to inform the sheriff, who summoned a posse of twenty men and started in pursuit, and overtook and halted the party a short distance from Millican. A parley then took place, and while the leaders were trying to arrange matters a negro foolishly discharged his gun, thus precipitating a fight, as the whites, thinking an attack was about to be made fired a volley into their ranks, killing five. The negroes then scattered, and for next two days fighting was going on, with a result between fifteen and twenty negroes killed. After the first outbreak a courier was sent to Bryan for help and 100 men came down, under the command of Capt. Randlett of the Freedman's Bureau, who commanded them throughout. It was reported to us by the orderly seargant of the squad of troops sent to help the whites that they had killed three negroes, but the Lieutenant in command says it was not so. Which to believe we know not as there is a mistatement somewhere. Next week we hope to furnish our readers with the full particulars of this bloody affair.

The Millican Riot.--While the Millican riot was in progress, it was continually repeated and put as a strong point, that Capt. Randlett, the Bureau Agent, was a leader of the whites. Had this been true, (we had then no cause to deny it, though we doubted it,) it would have given the whites an order of legality that they would not otherwise possess. We now present Capt. Randlett's report, clear, logical and succinct. It is an excellent report, and certainly shows that the Captain has a very clear idea of his business. He did not lead the whites, but decidedly condemns their acts, and says there is no excuse for the riot. It was bad passion and bad whisky that did it. The only blunder that Capt. Randlett seems to have made was in permitting more men to be sent for against his judgment. There were some wrongs on the side of the blacks. They ought not to have been drilling as militia. This was wrong. It would have been wiser for them n[---] to have taken arms when they were to search for the supposed dead man. But surely we cannot blame them when every white man has a small ordnance department strapped around his waist. This riot teaches a valuable lesson. It shows what direct consequences may at any moment ensure in a state of society so excited as that in which we move. That the whites were in no danger is evidenced by the fact that none were hurt, though five blacks were killed. The killing of the first freedman for [--]tering the town was murder, as was also that of Parson Brooks. T[---] riot has done incalculable injury to our State. Immigrants and capitalists will turn from us while these things continue. If we desire prosperity, we must keep the peace.

We learn through the Houston papers there there was a fearful slaughtering of the colored poeople in and around Millican, on the 15th and 16th. The number killed is variously estimated from fifteen to fifty. It is impossible to arrive at the true cause of the difficulty from any report we have yet seen. We hope to be able to throw some light on the subject to-morrow. Come to Jones & Roberts', Miller's corner, to get your Groceries.

Negroes Attempt to Kill a White Man. The Interposition of an Agent of the Freedmen's Bureau Set at Defiance. Armed Hostility to the Government. More Serious Consequences Apprehended. Special by Telegraph to the N. O. Times. Houston, July 18.--- There has been a formidable negro riot at Millican. From passengers on the train news is received of a riot of serious dimensions, having its origin in a charge made against a white man name Holiday, of assisting to hang a negro. Holiday denied the charge, and insisted that the negro was alive in an adjacent county, and offered to produce him, but the negroes refused to accept his denial or wait for the proof. They immediately armed themselves, and marched out to kill Holiday. The sheriff at once called out a posse, and a conflict ensued. Five negroes were killed and the sheriff called for help, as the negroes were assembling in force. The agent of the Freedman's Bureau at Bryan came down on the train to Millican the same night, with a posse to inquire into the disturbance. He found three hundred armed negroes in position, and went to them under a white flag, and demanded their surrender to the civil authorities, but was driven off. He then put himself at the bend of the whites, declaring he would arrest them by force. An attack was made and fifteen negroes killed, but not a single white man. The negroes were in superior force and refused to disperse. United States troops from Brenham were ordered to disperse them on July 18th. Late yesterday evening a squad of United States troops, twenty strong, arrived at Millican and a scouting party was sent out, and three hostile negroes were killed. The negroes are fortifying, and the excitement ran high up to 4 o'clock P.M. Yesterday Capt. Randlett, Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau, went to the hostile camp, and demanded that the negroes lay down their arms, but they persistently refused. Further serious consequences are apprehended. We copy as follows from the Galveston News of the 17th inst.: By the afternoon train from Houston we have intelligence of a very serious riot at Millican on Wednesday afternoon. A mob of negroes led by a negro preacher named Brooks, and a school teacher, a white man, attempted to hang Mr. William Holliday, who formerly kept a hotel at that place. The white people would not permit it to be done. The following statement of the express messenger on the Central Road will give the subsequent events. It was written yesterday: "Great excitement at Millican. The negroes in mass demanded one Wm. Holiday to hang him. The white people turned out to protect him. A line of battle was formed and skirmishing for about an hour. Five of the negroes were killed. Number of wounded not known. The up train last night was pressed at Bryan to run down with reinforcements. About 200 volunteers went down from Bryan. One negro was killed last night. Dispatches sent everywhere for men. No express freight from Bryan to-day on account of the train being in charge of volunteers. I apprehend much trouble. The negroes are led by one preacher Brooks and a white school teacher. The whites led by the Freedman's Bureau agent and the Sheriff. (Signed) L. The Bureau agent has sent to Brenham for soldiers. The train from Brenham down yesterday was immediately sent back for troops. The express manager reports the Freedmen in large numbers in camp at what is called "Freedman's Town", in the environs of Millican, and the white men camped in the town proper at the depot. When he left there was no fighting going on. Both parties were sending couriers through the country. The negroes had been considerably reinforced. They refuse to disperse at the order of the agent of the Bureau and the Sheriff, and say, " Come and take us if you want us?" The negroes threaten the women and children of Millican, and they have left the place. [Houston Ku-Klux Vedetto Extra] Houston, July 18, 1868.

The Millican Riot-- Lieutenant Green, United States Army, through whose efforts, says the Brenham Banner, "the incipient riot was quelled," informs that paper that the number killed, as near as he could learn, was seven blacks: no white man killed or wounded. The first reports of the killing were greatly exagerated. The negroes collected were some 500 strong. The Banner reiterates, on the best testimony, that the negro whose supposed death the mob intended to avenge, is "now alive and well in Washington county", near where the riot was inaugurated. --[Galveston News.
