New Orleans, July 21st.- Later advices from Millican, Texas, confirm the reports of a serous disturbance. It is doubtful whether it is yet quieted. The telegraph is interrupted, and there are no advices later than the 18th. Colonel Gentry, of General Buchanan's staff, has been ordered to Millican to investigate the matter.

The Millican Riot Once More.
Sheriff Neil publishes a very lengthy statement of he Millica riot, all of which might have been compressed into a sixth part of the space he occupies. His effort is to prove that the negroes fired the first gun, and that Capt. (R)and(l)ett was drunk, and that Brooks was specially commissioned by Hamilton & Caldwell to get up the riot for the effect it would have on the mission to Washington. As he (...)vers that this is his opinion, we must credit him with speaking the truth. But we doubt whether there is another man, woman or child (...) Texas so easily gulled as to believe this last statement.

For the past three days, our city has been laboring under a great deal of excitement, consequent upon a difficulty which began on the 15th ult., between the whites and the blacks, at the town of Millican, Brazos County, on the Central Railroad, and which is not yet fully quieted. I learn from a perfectly reliable source that the difficulty had it's origins as follows: A negro man, whose name I have not been able to learn, went to the house of a young man named Holliday, a short distance from Millican, to settle some business matters. Finding Holliday absent, the negro demanded a settlement of his wife, who informed him that she knew nothing about the business, and consequently could not do anything in the matter. This seemed to enrage the negro and he began making threats and cursing Mrs. Holliday, which so alarmed her that she fled to a neighbor's and informed the members of the family of what had taken place, and requested some men to go to her house and make the negro leave. Two or three men immediately went over and arrested the negro and carried him into Washington County, but a short distance from there, and turned him over to the civil authorities. Somehow or other - perhaps under instructions from the Loyal League - a report was circulated among the negroes in the vicinity that Holliday and his friends had hung the negro, and in an incredibly short space of time they congregated a force of about sixty well armed negroes, and marched through Millican in the direction of Holliday's house, breathing threats of vengeance. ....

The Negro Riot at Millican
The Houston Telegraph of the 17th gives the following particulars of a serious riot which occurred at Millican, Brazos County:
Information has just reached us of a serious disturbance at Millican between the whites and blacks. From passengers on the train we learn that it had its origin in a charge made against a young man named Holliday of having assisted in the hanging of a negro recently in the Brazos bottom. Holliday denied the charge, and said that the negro, who it was asserted had been killed, was alive in Washington county, and offered to produce him. This, it seems, was not satisfactory to the nergroes who assembled in force yesterday afternoon and marched through Millican fully armed. The Deputy Sheriff at once called out a posse of twenty men and went in pursuit. A short distance from town the Sheriff’s party met the negroes returning. The negroes immediately formed a line and commenced firing upon the sheriff’s party when the latter returned the fire and charged, killing five of the blacks, wounding several others, and completely routing the party. The sheriff then sent to others, and completely routing the party. The sheriff then sent to Navasota and Bryan for assistance. Last night a train came down from Bryan with about 75 men. On their arrival at Millican, the nergroes made peace overtures to the whites, and agreed to let the matter rest, whereupon the train returned to Bryan with the greater portion of the men who came down upon it. Thus matters stood during the night, but about 4 o’clock this morning the nergroes were assembled in large numbers at Freedmansville, near Millican, and when the passenger train arrived from Bryan, another conflict appeared to be imminent. During the night Millican was surrounded by white pickets and the nergroes were encamped in and around Freedmansville to the number of several hundred. Two of the latter attempting to pass the picket lines extending around the town were fired upon and one of them killed. It is said that a prominent Loyal Leaguer visited the nergro camp this morning and attempted to conciliate them, but was driven away. The negroes are headed by a man named Brooks, who declared his intention to have revenge for the killing of the men by the Sheriff’s party yesterday.
The Central Railroad freight train was seized by the Sheriff of Brazos county, on its way down and turned back to Bryan for help. The rioters are said to number two or three hundred negroes, and positively refuse to disperse. One hundred and fifty persons left Bryan on the 16th for the scene of troubles. The number of negroes killed in the first affair is estimated at fifteen. Col J.P. Austin, from Bryan informs the Telegraph that the Agent of the Freedmen’s Bureau at Bryan, came down from there to Millican night before last with about 150 men, to inquire into the disturbance; that he did so, and found about 300 negroes in array; that he went out to them under a white flag and demanded their surrender to the civil authorities, but was driven off; that be then put himself at the head of the whites, declaring that he would arrest them by force, and the Sheriff and whites were acting under him, and that the fighting of yesterday must have been under his command.
Later
The number of negroes killed during the rioting was about 25.
The negroes almost three to five hundred strong are fortifying themselves three miles from Millican. Excitement prevails for several miles around. Every effort has been made to conciliate them, but to no effect. Captain Randett. Sub Assistant Commissioner Freedmen’s Bureau, has done all in his power but his efforts have been spurned and they refuse to lay down their arms.
Late advices state that about twenty Federal soldiers had arrived at the scene of the riot: that they rioters have dispersed and gone to their homes with the exception of the negro Brooks, the leader of the mob, and a small escort who are believed to have gone to Austin.
It is now ascertained that the difficulty arose from the supposition that negro member of the loyal league had been hung: but he has since been found. These Loyal Leaguers have been drilling and prowling around Millican for a period of a month, directly against the orders of Capt. Randett, commissioner of the Breedman’s Bureau.
The latest dispatch say:
Houston, July 17th- 8pm- the Millican insurrection is substantially quelled. The main body of the negroes has dispersed, leaving Brooks and yellow adjutant with a small squad roaming at large. A sufficient force is in pursuit. Three negroes were killed last night by Federal pickets. The Federal soldiery were hostile to the mob, but were restrained from attacking by the Captain, who said he went to pacify and not to fight.
The railroad is clear and trains running regularly. The weather is very hot.

Capt. Barmlett makes a second report on the Millican affair. It will be remembered that we quoted the other day from a paper which said that if he did not take back his first report, certain disreputable acts of his in connection with the riot would be exposed. He has not taken them back. He corrects his statement about the firing of the first gun, saying that at the time he charged it upon Holiday he had not seen the affidavits of Mayor Wheat and Deputy Sheriff Potilla which were furnished Col. Gentry. Very likely he had not, but he was in constant incercourse with these gentlemen during the whole progress of the riot, and it is impossible to suppose that if they then knew the gun to have been fired by a freedman that they would not have told him so. Either the Captain knew that the first gun was fired by a freedman when the stated that holiday fired it, or he did not believe the statements of the Mayor and Deputy Sheriff, to whose statements he now gives crelence under pressure

Armed Rebellion
The accounts which we have received of the riot at Millican are not very clear as to the oirgin of the difficulty, but it is very clear that there has been a wanton butchery and sacrifice of human life. From fifty to sixty men are reported to have been killed. How many have been wounded unto death or disabled from pursuing their daily labor, has not been sated. Has any sufficient cause been shown for this waste of life? The accounts state that a negro had been hung, and that a body of his friends had gathered together to arrest the murderers. Is it an offence against society or against the laws to arrest men guilty of the crime of murder? It seems that is so. The deputy Sheriff met this crowd, and instead of using them as a posse, to effect the arrest, he endeavored to dissuade them from carrying out their design. Failing to do this, he goes to work and raises an armed force of twenty-five men, and returning to the scene of action, a fight ensues. The crowd endeavoring to make the arrest of the murderers were all Negroes. The posse of the deputy Sheriff were all white. The white allege that they were fired upon, and acted in self defence, and under the legal authority of the Sheriff. The result is that from fifty to sixty Negroes were killed, but not a single white man has been killed or injured, as far as we are informed. This is certainly conclusive proof that the Negroes began the difficulty! The accounts also state that two railroad trains were seized and that large bodies of armed whites were sent from Bryan and other points to Millican. Recently, an armed force of two hundred whites surrounded an officer of the United States, in Freestone county, and rescued some prisoners from his hands. On the 4th of July, at Jefferson city, an armed force of some three hundred men took possession of the place, fortified the houses, and picketed the roads leading to the city. What means all this? It is simply armed rebellion againt the government The rebels of Texas are to day better armed, and better organized than they were during the late Civil war. They are looking forward to the presidential election, and the refusal to count the "white man's" electoral votes of the Southern States, which they propose to elect in informal elections, as they did the delegates to the secession convention in Texas in 1860, as furnishing the time and occasion for the renewal of the rebellion under the auspices of the President of the United States. That is what all this means. The rebellion may be said to be upon us. We are standing on the very verge of the precipice, and we may be precipitated into rebellion even before the appointed time.
And as a precursor of what is to come, men openly advise, in the public prints of the State, the assassination of loyal men, simply because they are loyal! When Titus and his legions were thundering at the gates of Jerusalem, the Jews in the citadel were cutting each others' throats. Shall the Republicans of Texas follow the same suicidal course? Is it not time that our foolish quarrels were laid aside, and that we prepare to meet our common enemy who have only curses and anathemas for both our houses? A divided army never won a victory over a united foe. We must unite not only to save our cause, but to save our lives from a Millican butchery.

"N.H Randlett, carpet-bagger and Bureau agent at Bryan, published a report on the riot at Millican, in which, as usual with that gentry, the true state of affairs is never mentioned, but a garbled, lying report is substituted in its stead."

Later accounts from Millican represent that the riot is not ended. The negroes have sent a defiant reply to the orders to disperse. There was but a small force of soldiers at the scene.

Serious Riot in Texas
GALVESTON, July 17.-- On the evening of the 15th, a riot commenced at Millican, on the Central Railroad. A mob of about twenty-five negroes, led by a white school teacher and a negro preacher, named Brooks, attempted to hang a man name Wm. Holiday, but white citizens prevented the execution, and headed by the sheriff and bureau agent, attempted to suppress the mob, which resulted in the death of ten or twelve negroes. On the 16th the number increased on both sides, and skirmishing occurred during the day. The casualties are estimated at twenty-five. A small body of troops arrived late last night and dispersed the rioters, killing three negroes. The latter, numbering three to five hundred, had fortified themselves three miles from Millican, and refused to lay down their arms till the troops dispersed them. The entire loss is fifty or sixty. The difficulty arose from the suspicion that a negro member of the Loyal League had been hung, but who has been found.
