Outrage Upon a Soldiers Widow.

The New York EueHing Post gives the follow
ing account Of the removal Of colored woman
from the cars in New York the other day
On Friday IN ruing last respectable woman,
dressed ~ deep mourning, aud, as any observer
might see, in considerable distress, and weak
was dragged by two men, policeman and the
conductor OF a car, out OF one OF the Eighth ay.
enuc cars INTO the street, and there ltft She
was clean, orderly, in every way decent But
she was black that was her offence.
A correspondent gave notice Of this outrage
in our columns the same day. We have taken
the pains to inquire little further about the
poor woman who was 50 brutaily treated. Her
name is Ellen Anderson She was the wife, but
is now the widow, Of Sergeant William Ander-
son, OF Company f, Twenty. sixth United States
color,d troops. This regiment of Union soldiers
was raised in this city, under the auspices OF the
Union League Club. Sergeant nderson enlist.
ed here, showed himself to be brave, capable
and trusty sol Tier, and had been but recently
promoted for good conduct. A few days ago
Mrs Anderson received letter from Captain
England, her husbands captain, informing her
that her husband hal been drowned at Beaufort
W lie in the discharge OF his duty. In this lot.
ter the captain took occasion to speak in high
terms Of her husbands soldierly qualities,
This poor widow Of loyal soldier, dressed de-
Gently, behaving herself as quietly and respecta-
bly, as any gentlewoman, was turned out Of .
public conveyance in this city, on the very day
when Major General Smith publicly thanked
aud pra ,sed the colored soldiers under his COM
mand for their galantry in a most trying posi-
tion, and told them that in his opinion they had
proved themselves worthy OF any place on the
| field What will these black soldiers think Of
US when they read OF this outrage in the papers
Or Is it no matter what they think ? then what
will honorable white men think and say, when
they hear that the widow of soldier of the
Union, whose merit made him q sergeant and
who died in the discharge OF his duty is not per
mitted TO sit in street car in New York;
We notice by the Tribune that suit has been
commenced against the policeman and the con.
ductor, and there is a possibility that decision
may now be reached which will test the legal
right Of d railroad company to remove at pleas
ure any Sell behaved person from it's cars

AoNTHER FREE STATE.-lhe Constitutional
Convention in session at Annapolis, Maryland,
last Friday passed the following article of her
bill of Rights
HEREAFTER IN THIS STATE THERE SHALL BE-
NEITHER SLAVERY NOR lNYoLUN TARY sERvITUDE,
EXCEPT IN PUNISHMENT FOR CRIME WHEREOF
THE PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN DULY CONVICT
ED; AND ALL PERSONS HELD TO SERVICE OR

! Maryland is in climate, soil, and natura adyan.
tages one of the very best States in the Union,
and that it has not, before this, in wealth, and
ell industrial interests and pursuits, taken rank
with such States as Massachusetts, Pennsylvania
and Ohio, has been because Of her system OF en-
forced labor, which everywhere keeps back the
energies Of the people from their possible
achievements. She is now free by her own act,
aud will very soon start on career Of prosperity
unprecedented in her history. This act Of justice
to the long.enslayed race within her limits is
iardy in its Inauguration, but in its accomplish.
ment it is one Of the most propitious omens Of
the times. Such great revolutionary movements
in public sentiment seldom or never stop in their
work. What has been done in Maryland must,
aud that before long, be accomplished in Kentucky
Missouri and tho other slave States, as the poop .
OF those States come to see that liberty, true De-
moGracy, honesty, justice aud prosperity in th,
county, have gone and ever will go hand in hand

most impossible for change to be made in the
position of the lines without some loss from the
enemy's sharpshooters and the lines have been
moved always after dark on that account.
The engagement between the 9th corps and
the enemy for the possession OF the railroad
Wednesday was quite severe, particularly in
front OF the I'd DIVISION, commanded by ben.
Wheaton. Only short distance Of railroad
had been destroyed, when the party were at
tackled by heavy force of the enemy under
Gen Anderson, supported by Wilcox's division
Capt Beatty of the Sd VI. was in charge Of the
party that reached the road and he tell back
slowly while the skrmishng line held the enc
my in check, but a body Of the enemy made q
flank movement expecting to turn the left flank
Of the line OF battle. They however did not pro.
gress far enough, although they succeeded IN
taking large number Of skirmishers prisoners,
principally Of the 4th and lth Vt regiments.
The enemy afterwards advanced and attempted
to break our line al several points, bur were
met with such a heavy fire from our forces that
they we're driven back every tne with heavy
loss They finally at night gave up the effort
and retreated across the railroad bank where
they took up an advantageous position. Our
loss was very light in killed and wounded,
while that OF the enemy it is supposed WAS more
than double ours. We lost quite a number Of
prisoners, but the figures cannot as yet be cor
rectly given
Tho railroad from City Poot to Petersburg
is being placed in order and engines and cars
are already procured to put on it as soon as it
is in running condition. Supplies are received
at the front regularly and the troops Lace moth
ing 10 this respect, but they suffer somewhat
from scarcity OF water
