The progress of the social equality of

full Roadway in this part Of the world
The fiat has gone forth from the White
House that all who expect to find favor 10
the eyes of his Majesty Abraham the
First must be ready on all occasions to
bow down and worship the idol OF the re-
publican party. Gen. Butler (wbo feels
that his bead is 10 some danger, since the
appointment Of Gen. Smith TO command
the troops in bis Department. has Just ta>
ken a step 10 this direction that will no
doubt restore him to full favor with our
would be monarch. The daily line of
steamboats, which TSn between this city,
Baltimore, and Fortress Monroe have al
ways had, among their rules, one which
forbade the presence Of colored people at
the same table with the passengers This
rule was enforced on recent oOcasiou.-
But. when the boat arrived at Fortress
Monroe, the friends Of the colored person
who had been refused seat at the table
complained to Gen. Butler Of the "indigni-
ty" thus offered TO one Os "our colored fel-
bw-citlzens" The Hero Of Big Bethel at
once issued an order directing that in fu
ture negroes should be allowed to sit and
eat ct the sams table with the passengers
on board OF these boats, and that no dis
tInetion whatever should be made in the
treatment of any person ON account Of col
or. HencefOrth, therefore the ladies and
gentlemen who travel on these steamboats,
will have the exquisite pleasure of sitting
at the table side by side with filthy, greasy
niggers.

The FOrtPIlIOw AFFAIR

We understand that gentleman in town
who rs lately from the neighborhOod OF the
recent reported massacre of Fort Pillow,
states that the reports in reference to that
affair are very grossly exaggerated, and
there Is no truth IN the statement that the
rebels shot any of our troops, colored or
otherwise, after their surrender. 1t seems
the attack was made from two sides, and
our troops running from one of the ssssil-
IoG parties came upon the other, and were
thas between two terrible fires, and hence
so many were killed. The story about the
burying olive is also pronounced a grand
