GEN. GRANGER AND A NEGRO SENTINEL
There is negro recruiting Office on
Cedar street, Nashville. at the door of
which stands negro sentinel with his
musket. A number of persons standing
around, on the End inst, took a consider
able interest in noting the conduct of
white officers who passed by. The senti-
mel saluted every officer that came along.
and received the usual recognition. At
last Gen. Granger was espied riding up
the street, accompanied by lady, and
he Immediately became the focus of all
the eyes. What would he do? Would
he return the salutation of the sentinel
OfAfrican lineage? He did. Returning
shortly after, by himself, the sentinel sa-
luted him the second time. The Gener-
al paused, put him through short lesson
IN the manuel of arms, and when he
brought him to present arms" sa-
luted him, and departed. We hope this
example of the worthy General will not
be lost on the lesser lights, who appear
to be afraid that the Iegro will get upon
an equality with them, or they with the
negro, We don't exactly know which, and
who are shocked with the improperly of
putting arms into the hands of men OF
color.-NashUiUe Union.
