$. G. MEBoER-Sir:
A very striking illustration Of the
negro equality humbug of certain South
ern rebels, occurred about week ago not
far from here. A poor, but honest and
respectable man, started to move with
his wife and some small children. He
was taken by rebel troopers and marched
more than mile, his wife with him.
There, after other indignitcs and rob-
berries, his wife was searched Jya negro
,ComG0, by order Of Lieut.. Col p. Ander-
son, of Fourth Tennessee rebel cavalry,
Col. Baxter Smith, who would have
scorncd such an act, being a prisoner
thus degrading poor white woman, q
native Tennessean, beneath q great
Swapping negro wench belonging to a
rebel family. have heard the woman
tell the story of her wrongs and this
gross insult. Some of the members OF
that regiment, now prisoners here, deny
that il was a negro that searched the
woman, They declare that it was the
Lieut. Colonels brother dressed in negro s
clothes. If this were 80 he was BACKED
and passed himself, and was passed
by his brother, Lieut.. Col Paulding An
dersOn, as one of Mrs. Aliens negroes
and while this increases the insult to the
woman, the act is more disgraceful to
those who did it The veracitg and good
standing Of this man and his wife are
VoGched for by persons here who have
known them for many years. Indeed nc
one can h ar thcirstory wi hnut believing
it, Other ecis are committed almos
daily, upon deienseIess Union women ant
children, Of equal righteousness to this
When will those who have waited so Ions
in patience, faithful among the faithIess
have deliverance
There is but little rebel force immedi
ately in front Of this army. One regi
ment at Trou5dale's Ferry on the Caney
Fork, eight miles from here; and anoth
err at Liberty, or near that place. In ad
ditiOn there are some rowing bands, steal
ing horses and rObbing women, number
about fifty or one hundred From mos
reliable Information, which has jus
reached me, l am satisfied the Who'll
rebel force said TO be threatening to in
wade Kentucky above here, does no
amount 10 five thousand men, if S
many.
There was grand review here O-day
which passed off as all such pageants dc
to the sound of the fife and drum, an,
other instruments of martial music
while gaily dressed officers, on prancin
steeds, dashed across the field.
| One brigade of this army is now NOV
ing; where they are going it is not prop
or for me to say. 1t is sufficient to stat
that they are not retreating. 1t woul,
