A CoPpEEHEAD SUTLER OF A CoLoREr
REG1MEST.-Its seems that the Su,ler Of
a colored regiment, at Fort Pickering
has some very strange notions as to-
what becomes gentleman in his deal

he has not the least hesitancy in reciev-
ing. st meeting Of the Sd and 7'sr
u. S. Artillery, on Friday last, the fol.
lowing resolutions were offered and
adopted, which will somewhat explain
the case:
Whereas, on the 3lst last month, two
commissioned officers, Captain and y
Lieutenant gave.our school teacher, Mr..
H. N. Rankin, Of Ohio, an invitation TO.
take glass of ale with them and
wheteas Mr.. Gregg, the commissioned
su,ler Of the 7th regiment Of colored
troops and Mr.. Tolbert, his representa-
tive. positively refused to permit our
teacher to drink in his shop, making-
as the basis OF his objections, Mr. Ran
kin's color, therefore, resolved,
l. That we pledge ourselves not tor
purchase, in the future, from person
who entertains such sentiments, and at
the same time accepts commission as
sutler of colorred regiment; and We
further pledge ourselves to use our intiu-
ence in preventing others Of our COM
from doing the same.
