We understand a terrible riot occurred at Fahmouth, Stafford county, on the 29th ult., between the negroes and whites, in which fifteen negroes were killed outright and a large number wounded.
One white man is reported morally wounded and others slightly. The affair has created the most intense excitement. Owing to the lateness of the hour, we are unable to ascertain, before going to press, the cause which led to the disturbance-but presume it the working of the "Civil Rights Bill." We warn our people to be prepared for each and every emergency. The negroes lured on to their own destruction, by the low, mean and cowardly white wretches we have among us; will in all probability seek supremacy in our midst. |
