THE RIOT AT CONCORD, N. Give learn
from gentlemen, residents of Concord, some
particulars of the late riot at that place between
the negroes and the citizens. 1t seems, as is
generally the election days. the whole
affair was brought about by certain whites and
blacks INDUCING too freely in spurious liquor.
Many negroes were undoubtedly under the in
fuence of liquor and very insulting-usipg such
words as these: We came here to vote-we will
be ID if We don't vote. We free the
bottom rail will soon be on top, &c. The whites
were neither entirely sober nor fautless. The
rist, however, was not anticipated or preplaned.

soldier carrying pistol 10 his hand, in men

with the negroes. In the meantime the pistol
being discharged crowd gathered and the riot
began aud ended with several persons of oppo-
site color getting bruised heads and the whites
running the negroes out of town. This is an
unfortunate, as we'll as very unusual affair, for
the orderly, quiet, and law abiding citizens of
Cabarrus; and we know that none regret it-nore
than they-SoltsGury Banner

and came near being killed by them, but was
rescued By the military and safely escorted be-
