He reports all quiet. The outlaws could not be found in the Black water hills, bavin# tied after.the tight to Hancock, Tenn., and vicinity of Sneedville, where they now are* None of the outlaws were killed. Jesse Anderson was shot through the left chest, nnd physicians say he will not recover; Jim Williams wounded in hand and abdomen slightly; Andy Testament wounded in forehead badly; John LivLsay wounded in arm, which will compel tbe amputation of that limb.** The names of the other outlaws, as far as ascertained, are Birt Goens, Thorn Goodman, Mat. Mullins, Hiram Livisay, Joe Long, Jack Anderson, and Richard Bremer. There are others whose names are not yet known. All of them, including wounded, are near Sneedville, Tenn., and send word to Sheriff Doyle they will drop it if he will. They had previously threatened to have his hearts blood.“ The tight in which they killed citizen Vandiventef was not made at the United States officers, but to capture and kill Sheriff Doyle, who was aided by six of the Mur-cheit boys (brothers and cousias), Kiah Cunningham, Emmett Wrester, and Van-diventer. There was not a United States officer present at the tijrbt, nor anywhere in the vicinity. Tbe whole affair was one of hostility to Doyle because he and his friends had aided the United states ollicials. This is all there is of it, and I [the writer in this case] have it from Doyle himself*”Mr. Doyle, spoken of as sheriff* is really deputy sheriff, but was acting sheriff at thetime of the occurrenccs mentioned, thesheriff himself being tbfn on his way to Richmond vvitk two prisoners.FKitsoNAL.—Eev.
