FROM PIIILADELPHIA.
On the 10th negro got into a
street car in Philadelphia and refused all |
entreaties to leave it. The conductor of
the car, fearful of being fined for ejecting
him, as was done by one of the judges
of, one of'the courts in similar case,
ran the car off the track, detached the
horses and left, colorea to occupy the car
all by himself. The colored man still
firmly maintained his position in the car,
having spent the night there. The con.
ductor looks upon lie part he enacted
in the affair as splendid piece of STRAIT
tegy. The matter creates quite sem
sation in the neighborhood where the
car was standing, and crowds of sympa.
thizers hocked round the colored man.

( and seeing our forces approaching, he
ordered it set on fire, and that all his ef
forts to save the specie was mavailing;
that the soldiers broke open the kegs,

soldiers and citizens appropriated all
there was. He asserts that he knows
that no otherRmounts of specie not in
the pockets Of its owners wore taken
