NEGROES CAN AND WILL FIGHT.-Lt. Col.
Beard of 4Sth n. York Volunteers lately led
an expedition down the coasts of Georgia and
Florida, consisting entirely of coored troops.
from the 1st Regt. South Carolina Volunteers.
What paradox; South Carolina raising vol
unteers to put down rebellionl The Rev. Mr.,
French who accompanied them, closes his mar
tive thus:
Our steamer left Beaufort without SOL
der, and returned, after an absence of twelve
days, with 1876 fighting colored men, some of
whom dropped the hoe, took musket, and
were at once soldiers, ready to fight for the
freedom of Others. The troops made l3 land
ings on the main between Fernandina and
Fort Pulaski, destroying nine large salt works,
together with some $4,000 worth of salt. corn,
rice. horses, &c, which could not be brought
away. About 10 slaves were taken from their
rebel masters, while our steamers brought
back the scars of $50 of the enemys balls-
The men entered Beaufort singing the John
Brown song more heartily, venture to say,
than it was ever sung before. The negroes
now think they will be ready, when the brig
ade is completed, to take the job of putting
down the rebellion"

The report was returned the very next day
and its language was insolent in the extreme
The surgeon was angry at the woman's inter-
ference.
This is enough" said the Surgeon General.
"A man who will send me such report is
capable of all you charge against him. l will

shall be dismissed the serrfce'
That very night, as the chief surgeon OF
hospital sat with his usual assistants
around him, indulging in his usual blnster, a
pleasant faced gentleman appeared at the door
and inquired for Surgeon, in charge of
the hospital. That person was pointed out to
him.
Il am directed to hand this to you from the
Surgeon-General," said the stranger.
The surgeon opened it, and found that il or
dered him to hand over the hospital and sup
plies to the bearer, and, to conclude, dismissed
the brutal surgeon from the service. The New
England woman had triumphed at last.
The Portland daily press., 1862-11-27
The Woman and the Surgeon.

An interesting case has come to our.knowl-
edge within d short time, where a New
England woman, alone and friendless, achiev-
ed great reform in one of our hospitals. The
surgeon having charge of this particular hos
pital was brute, treating the men IN his
charge, visitors and indeed the surgeons be-
meath him, with contemptuous cruelty. Hav-
ing political influence, it was not an easy mat
ter to remove him, though there were a
hundred acts of his, any one of which would
or should be considered sufficient cause for his
instant dismissal from the service. But every
one beneath him was afraid to take the first
step, for fear the brutal man would turn upon
the person beginning the complaint, and with
his superior position and influence crush the
complainant.
One day New England woman came to
the hospital to see her sick son. She soon met
the chief surgeon, and was treated with coarse
violence. If he could have his way, he said,
he would not permit Il woman to come near
the hospital, 1t was in vain that she urged
that she had not seen her boy for long months,
and that he was now very i'll, and perhaps dy-
ing The monster continued TO revile her. but
dared not refuse her admittance to see her son.
She soon found the surgeon in immediate
attendance upon her boy, and told him of the
treatment she had received faom the chief sur
geon. He replied that he was not at all sur
prised: he treated every body brutaly.
"Why, then, do you submit to such cruel
outrage?" was the spirited woman's question.
Il suppose we are all of us afraid to make
the complaint against him." was the reply.
The woman found that her son was incura-
bly, III, and was the proper subject of dis
charge. The assistant surgeon so informed
her. She then sought the chief surgeon, and
asked him to make report to the Surgeon
General upon the condition of her son. He
refused with a dreadful oath. The New Eng
land grit in the womans heart took fire.
"You stand there" said she sand jeer at my
porrow. You use language toward me that a
wild beast would be ashamed Of But let me
tell you, that poor and friendless as / am,
am more potcerfuI than you, and tcW not
tedre Washington until hare exposed your
brutalityw
She was as good as her word. She went at
once to Secretary Stanton. He referred her
at once to the Surgeon-General, with request
that he would look carefully into the case, and
If the facts would warrant her assertions. that
he would mete out rigid justice to the hospital
surgeon. The first act of the Surgeon-G General
was to order the surgeon in charge to make
report upon the case of the woman's son.

BEHIND THE SCENES AT THE STocK Ex-
cHANGE.-An interesting series of original ar
ticles are being contributed to the Boston Com
mercial Bulletin by a broker who has @opera-
ted for more than thirty years in Philadelphia,
New York and Boston. We copy the follow
ing from his "reminiscences of the old United
States Bank:
The glory of the great Regulator had all de-
parted-no crowds of men nor millions ofmon
ey responded in the marble palace, which had
been erected at a cost OF half million of dol
lars-only an occasional footstep rang with
startngiy loud reverberations in the high yaul-
ted banking rooms, and all the offices around
It were si'entand deserted as the grave-Thom-
son, the transfer clerk, kept up a shadow of
the Old high estate in a distant part of the
building; but in the immediate business hall.
MIR Patterson alone with the old grey-headed
porter, kept watch and ward, each day playing
the farce that the bank still lived, on the iden-
tical spot where he had paid out billions and
trillions of money.
None day stranger enters, evidently from
the West-far West.
For moment he is struck by the tomb-ike
aspect, and deathly silence of the place. but.

what ~ and hesitaling a moment. he burst
out into loud, sharp cry of There's no
Cashier"
From the varlted ceiling echoed back in dis
tlnct words, There's no cash here"
The stranger started, looked UP TO whence
the reply came, stared at the teller, and gath
ering ap his bills departed without another
word. Mr.. Patterson also started at the Del
phic oracle, and his mind having for some
time been uneasy under his false position, and
the sad memories it brought, determined to
retire from the banking hall whose fame was
dead, and post notes fed, and all but him de-
parted" So little an incident decided him,
ana he left the scene of his former useful and
brilliant career forever.
The remains of the bank were removed to
some back rooms in No. 76, Walnut street, and
the building sold, after time, to the Federal
Government, who now occupy it as a Custom
House. Upon the body of the dead monster
there sat for many years after an inquest Of
ghouis, rich men of high standing and ctarac-
ter, who did not hesitate to draw So 500
year for each other out of the little left to so
many thousand widows, orpans, and broken
down merchants; and continued to feast upon
the crushed orange till every drop of juice
was sucked dry, when they too resigned; and
aud the once glorious> Bank of the United
States became like the baseless fabric of a
dream.
