papers in this department, ''by authority"
will inform you was ''only an alteration
between an officer and some of the men,
and soon quietcd:' / have my information
from the lips of the officers IN command of
that post, the garrison of which consisted
of five hundred colored soldiers and officers
aud twenty white men, Though some of
the colored men are as white as some of
their white ofilcers) and SO serious had be-
come the revolt that the officers themselves
declare that had they attempted to exercise
any authority over their command, every
white man would have been killed, and the
negroes have been in possession of the forts
which cost the United States Government
so much of life and treasure and so many
months delay to get into our own hands.
1t has been decided that this regiment OF
''colored men" must be mustered out of
the service" in consequence of this ''alter-

proved March 3, 1868, to compel the Provost
Marshals of the different Congressional
Districts to hold their examinations fol
physical disability, or any other cause OF
exemption, at the county town of each
county iIf the respective Congressional Dis
tricts.n
The hardship which heproposes to rene
dy, has been grievotls one. In the large
cities, the limits of Congressional district
are so confined that it is very easy for the
citizen to reach the Office of the Provost
Marshal, but in the country, it viii be nc
slight inconvenience for poor man to even
go to the county town of his own county,
and we are not sure but that it would be
wiser to still further modify the law so far
as to give the Provost Marshals the discre-
tionary power to hold their examinations in
such other towns in the county as they
shall see fit. For the relief which Mr.. Cof-
froth's amendment would give, however, we
are sure that the people will return -'much
thanks. - Philadelphia Age. <

II, as stated by President LINCOLN in his
last annual message, "Tennesseeand Arkan-
sas have been cleared Of rebel armies, = why
are not those States represented in Congress,
with United States Courts and State Gov
ernments in fun and effective operation
within their borders? What more is needed
to put down the rebellion in any State than
to clear it Of rebel armies? When that is
done, is not the State restored to the Union
according to the original end and purpose
Of the waron our parte If that is done, as
the President says it is in Tennessee and
Arkansas are not the people of those States
as much entitled to a representation in Con-
gress and to the right of lochl self-govern-
ment as are the peopleof Ohioan Indiana!
