THE MURDER oE NEGROES AT HARPErH
SHoALS.-We trust, for the honor of humani-
ty, that the accounts we have received of the
shooting of negroes by the rebels at Harpeth
Shoals are wholly untrue, or, at least, greatly
exaggerated. Eighteen negroes, il is said,
cabin boys, deckhands, and chambermaids,
found on the captured Federal transports,
Were murdered in the most shocking manner.
Many OF them, ii is represented, were tied and
taken to al open field near the Shoals, aud de-
lberately shot down I'm cold blood. Two Of
the negro servants on the Slidell got Ia b.
tween the wheel and stern of the boat and let
themselves down into the water, holding on TO
the rudder. They were discovered by the re-
bells, and several soldiers were ordered into r
skiff, and, rowing close mp TO the unfortunate
negroes, die charged the contests If their mas
kets at them, literally blowing their heads into
atoms.
The life of the chambermaid OF the Trio wa.
saved by Mr.. Hurley, the ch.rk, claiming her
as his slave, whom he was removing 10 krn
lucky. And even with thi& prst..xt ne Lad The

OLD CoNs.-We have been shown Gu
riosity in the shape of small silver coin
which belongs to a gentleman in this city.
The coin date is 1862. 1t is "Pine Tree"
three-penny piece, which was the first coin
issued by the New England colonists, and in
fact the first coinage made by any Europeans
or their descendants in America. The piece
is in good preservation, and is highly valued
by its owner. The Pine Tree vintage is very
scarce, and is much sought after by coin col
lectors. few years since an American dol
lar the coinage of 1875 (the first year any
were issued by the United Sates) was owned
in this city, the circumstances connected with
which were as remarkable as its date. The
dollar was received by the supercargo of
trading vessel at the island of Wuka Heira,
one of the MarqueSas group. The coin was
perfect, with the exception Of small hole
drilled through near the edge, and had evil
IDENTIFY been used as medal. 1t was said by
the natives to have come from the first vessels
which anchored in and fortified the harbor.
This was, undoubtedly, commodore Porter's
fleet, which retitted there in 1913, and who
fortified small eniuence at the head of Tai
Haze bay.-SaA Francisco Bulletin.
