tunate affair which occurred in that city yes

Burnside's command, en- route for Kontucky.
To prevent struggling force of the Provost
Guard was stationed near the depot. A num-
Der of soldiers left the cars and attempted to
make their way up town, but were stopped by
the Guard. A fight onsued, the soldiers hurI-
ing mud, sticks and stones at the Guard. The
soldiers were reinforced until they numbered
two or three hundred. They knocked down
Lieutenant suIlivant of the Guard, and beat
him severely. The Guard was ordered to fire
at the mob, which they did, firing almost en-
tirely over the heads of the soldiers. Ser
geant ClOugh, of the Guard, fred his revOlv-
er three times, bringing man each time.-

SAVINGS BANKs;-One ofthe most remark
able features Of these remarkable times is
the steady and rapid accumulation of de-
posits in savings banks. The dsp2sitors are
generally persons Of small means, who at
present are not wealthy enough, or are un-
willing to embark in real estate specuIations.

RE-ARREsT OF GEORGE THoNPsoN FOR
yUNTERFEITING-AN IMPORTANT WITNESS
ssoURED.-Three or four months ago George
Thompson, who keeps a tavern on River
street, was arrested on charge of having in
hispOssession quantityof counterfeit money
With intent to sell it. The principal witness
against him was one Warram Parks. About
the time that the Grand Jury of the Febru
airy term, Court of Common Pleas, was sitting,
Prosecutor White ascsrtained that Thompson
had hired Parks to leave for parts unknown.
In order to secure the presence of Parks in
the city again the Grand Jury returned not
a true bill against Thompson on the charge
Of having possession of counterfeit money
with intent to sell it, and the same was duly
docksted and jOurnaIized. At the same time
the Grand Jury returned an Indictment
against Thompson for selling counterfeit
money to Warram Parks, true bill. The
bin was not dOcketed but kept privately by
the clerk. No one-knew of its existance ex-
eept Judge Bolton, Prosecutor White and de-
putty clerk George Bingham. Thompson
was led to suppose he had escaped from
the clutches Of the law. His bail was dis
missed, and he was lulled into a feeling of
false security. Last evening (Monday)
Prosecutor White, at the Union meeting in
Brainard's Hall, recognized Parks among
the audience. BE found Sheriff Lewis and
informed hin. Of the diseOveryy and when the
meeting broke up Parks was arrested on an
attachmentand lodged in Jail. Shortly af.
ter the Sheriff and deputy went to ThOmp-
sons tavern, on River street, and arrested
Thompson in bed. he is also in Jail. As
the Court Of Common Pleas has not adjourn
ed, there is probability of Thompson being
tried this term.

TreHty between the United States and L.
bcFia.
At length the treaty which should have
been msde years ago has been accom-
plished, and the United States thus tardily
admits the young African republic as a sis
ter nation. There is to be perpetual peace
and friendship and reciprocal freedom Of
;eOmmeres between the contracting parties,
and they bind themselves to treat each
other on the footing Of the most favored
nations, including the fan protection Of
persons and properties. Our Government
engages never to interfere, unless solicited
by that Of Liberia, in the affairs between
the aboriginal Inhabitants and Liberia in
the territory aud Jurisdiction Of that Re-
public, and citizens Of the United States
residing therein are desired to abstain
from all such intercourse with the aborig-
inal inhabitants as will tend to violations
of the law and disturbances of The peace
Of the country.

Proofs come to hand daily Of the urgent
need of provisions which is being felt at
the South, A late Montgomery Ad7er-
tiser contains a pathetic appeal from yam
cey, Clay, Currey and the rebel Congress-
men o, Alabama, to Southern people to
plant corn and raise hegs and beef They
say that the raising of a large quantity Of
provisions this year, for the supply of the.
army and support of the people has be-
come manifestly the duty of every citizen.
Perfectly reliable scouts give informa-
tiOn upon this p int At Knoxville hOuris
$55 per barrel, and very scarce; corn
meal S. per bushel; bacon 81 per pound.
The Montgomery Advertiser publishes an
official advertisement from q rebel commits
sary, appealing 10 the public to forward
supplies Of bacon, for which he is author
ized to pay so cents per pound, or to give
y pounds Of sugar for one Of bacon. In
tereepted letters are more pathetic on the
question Of supplies than ever before. The
people Of East Tennessee are really in a
starving condition. FOraging parties are
collecting supplies with sacks on their
horses leaving only thirty pounds of ba-
con for each family.
