10 the SOuth---DifficuIties Between
Whites and Negroes at Alexandria.

NEW YORK, July 22.-The Herald 5
New Orleans correspondent says:
The Feche district, in Louisiana, is at
present infested by "A desperate band of
guerrilla thieves, who have so far de-
fled all the efforts of the national troops
with the assistance OF the citizens TO
capture them. They not only plumber
the rural districts, but have ON several
occasions entered Franklin and other
towns and robbed the stores.
A movement for inducing Northern
ers to emigrate 10 the South TO settle
and cultivate the lands of the reOrgan-
lied States, have been taken by two
North Carolina gentlemen, who are
now in this city for the purpose of fur
nishing information TO those DESTROYS
Of seeking new homes in that region.
These gentlemen, who have large guam
titles of land to offer for sale, say that
the North Carolinians generally are
glad that their State is rid of slavery,
and are anxious to have il filled up
and developed by Northerners.
A special To the Tribune, dated Wash
ngton Dist, SAYS: The Mayor and
most of the magistrates of Alexandria,
Va, boldly declare their determination
10 adhere TO the old State law, and say
Mat sooner than receive the testimony
of negro in their courts they will re-
sign their respective offices. \ case in
which the testimony of cOlored men
was refused recently occurred in that
city. A well TO do negro was arrested
on the complaint of IA white man, and
on introducing as his only witnesses
several colOrcd men, was informed that
their deDOSitiOnS WOuld not be heard
by the court.
ON communicating the fact to the Of
ticer Ofthe Freedmen's Bureau, station
cd at Alexandria, that officer immedi-
atcly repaired to the court room and
moved discontinuance of the trial, on
the ground, that, under the provisions
of circular from Gen. Towards head
quarters, the local courts have no juriS-
diction i'm such cases. The officer of the
Frcedman's Bureau beinginstructed by
said circular To adjudicate all difficult
ties arising between negroes or between
negroes and whites. The justice still
persisted in proceeding;with the trial.
The negro defendant not appearing, in
court i'm compliance with the instruc-
tons of the officer of the Freedman's
Bureau. The court then gave judgment
III ldNtl vi llldlllAlll, anu iSouNh biA NNN-
cution for the seizure of the property of
the coloTed man, over whose residence
"A guard was at once posted by an officer
of the Freedmen's Bureau, To prevent
the civil officials FROM executing the
orders of the court. On learning the
circumstances Gen. Howard Immediate
Nv addressed letter to the Mayor ear
nestly requesting him to transfer all
similar cases tothe officers of his Bureau
i'm accordance with the provisions of
Circular No. 8, from his Headquarters.
Should similar cases occur, the military
authorities will be called upon TO en-
force Gen. Towards order.
