An Officer of a Colored Regiment Killed
While Recruiting NlayeS

While Recruiting Slaves.
On Tuesday last, Lieut.. Ebeu Whit, of the
7th United States colored recruits. now being
organized by Col. BirRey. near B.nedie., St
Mary's county, was killed by Col. Joha H.
Sothoron, prominent citizen and slave owner
of that county, and his son.
From Capt. Leary, who took the body OF
Lieut.. White to Baltimore, the 4merican learns
that the lieutenant, with a squad of his COM
pany, was sent by Col. Birney to Benedict, on
Monday, to obtain recruits. Hearing that
Sofhoron, who lives about three fourths OF a.
mile from Benedict, had two OF his slaves tied
up to keep them from enlisting, the lieutenant
proceeded to Sothoron's house and ordered the
men to be released Sothoron and his son
refused, and abused the lieutenant, and threat
ened to shoot him; both being heavily armed
Lieut.. w hite then left the house ana proceeded
towards field where q number OF Sothoron's
slaves were at work; and S. and his son fol-
lowed him and asked Lieut.. W. what he wanted
there. The Lieutenant replied that he was
there In accordance with his orders to enlist All
colored persons who desired to enlist. Sothoron
ihnd iIe, nls son commenced to abuse hum, and said
these threats against their officer one of the
guard raised his musket for the purpose OF
shooting Sothoron, but the Lieutenant ordered
him to stop. The son of Sothoron raised his
gun to shoot the guard, whereupon the Lieu
tenant caught the weapon by the muzzle,
telling the guard to give him the gun, saying,
I" If die, LII die fighting
The other guard he ordered to cock his piece
but at that moment Sothoron levelled his gam
and discharged it, the ball entering the right
breast Of the lieutenant, who fell to the ground
mortally wounded. The SON of Sothoron also
discarged his gun, the ball entering about the
same place. The colored soldier from whom
the lieutenant obtained his gun on seeing him
fall, ran away, but not without receiving a
shot from the Sothorons, passing through his
cap. The ether guard fired his musket at the
Sothorons, the ball, as afterwards learned,
grazing the cheek OF the son, without materi-
ally injuring him.
He quickly followed his companion, and i'm
their retreat heard two other discharges, which,
a. afterwards ascsrtained, the lieutenant re-
cefved two other wounds, one Of them on the
back, near the left shoulder. The soldiers ran
to the steamboat wharf, where the Cecil had
just arrived, on the way crossing . creek in .
small boat used by them in going up to Soth-
oron's house. Capt. Leary, on receiving in
formation Of the affair, steamed mp, and pro-
ceeded down the river, abreast OF the planta-
ton, and taking squad went to the scene OF
the AFFAIR, but the slaves OF Sothoron informed
him that the proprietors had both decamped,
and have not yet been captured. Lieut.. w.
WAS from Massachusetts.

AMENDMENT OF THE CONSUMPTION Law
The Washington correspondent OF the New
York Evening Post says that there is talk in
military circles OF an early repeal of one Of the
gress-that which provides for temporary ex-
emption by the payment of $500. This win be
urged in December, and 1t is not improbable

THE REMOVAL OF GEN. RoSECRANs.


The ChroH,cle has the following in regard TO
the removal OF Gen. Rosecrans:
we are In receipt of astounding intelligence
IN regard TO the removal OF Gen Rosecrans
.hnn Inc "hole country will be stirred at what we
1t is rumcred that three charges are made
aeS,nst tnis late popular conSnander:

c7c"s 't the battle field during TIE crisis and aed
70 Chattanooga, and reported TO officers there Mat
he Gcy fost.
1. Is reported that subsequently, THROUGH
optam, he became insensitle
The second charge, II is rumored, is made by
the Government, TO the effect that his orders
Were 10 RI main at Chattanooga until reinforce-
ments should arrive
The third charge, as rnmored, is to the effect
That he declined to move from Murfreesboro in
JuLe last, when ordered to do SO by the Gov
erhme M, as an opportunity was offered TO crush
bragg, large portien of his army having been
withdrawn to succor Johnston, who was op-
Grating against Grant
II these charges are true, it is most unfortu-
nate, as the name Of Rosecrans was a talissnan
OF immense weight

asleep at Chattanooga. We learn, semi-of.
fcially, that, in regard to Gen. Crttenden, this
statement is false, and that nothing has war.
ranted the circulation Of such q paragraph
The blame, il is said, connected with the fail
uIe OF Chlckamauga will fall wholly upon
Rosecrans.
A Washington dispatch to the New York
Tribune says:
The fact that Gen Rosecrans was with Gems.
McCook and Crittenden asleep in Chattanooga
while Gen. Thomas was fighting q brave and
despel ale fight alone, has been known to the
Government for weeks. 1t is understood that
Gen. Rosecrans has tailed, ever since the battle
OF Chickamauga, to exhibit in his dispatches q
spirit equal to the circumstances in which he
found himself 1tls now understood that Gen.
Rosecrans came very near losing his command
during the siege of Ficksburg, in consequence
OF his refusal to assist Gen. Grant after re-
peated orders by the Government and from
Gen. Grant himself, by attacking Bragg, so as
to make diversion in Grants avor, and pre-
VI nr the reinforcement OF Johnston. The Gov
ernment is salts fed that he was too cautious
before crossing the Tennessee, and too rash
in the first case hesitating to obey
orders TO move, and in the second disregarding
orders not to move too rapidly: that, in a word,
the Chattanooga campaign was really a fail
ure.
