DESPERATE CASE OF ASSAULT AND PRoBL-
BILE MURDER.-The guard under the command OF
officer Daniel Hurley, 1st Battalion U. S. Infan.
try, stationed at the guard house, corner of Clay
and LIST streets, have been in constant requistion
lately in consequence of the many individual
disturbances in Screamersvie.
Thursday night, bloody cutting affair occur
red at the house of Susan Hill, on the extreme
termination of Marshall street. The guard being
called upon, made descent, and took into Gus
tody the following named parties found on the
premises VIM. G. Allen, dressed in Confederate
soldier clothes he was found under bed, and a
negro man, Washington Method, on top of him.
The following named additional parties were ar
rested David MITCHELL Margaret Method, VIM.
Payne, Henrietta Hammond, Mary Carol and
Virginia Butler, all negroes or mulattoes.
A man, dressed in the clothes Of civilian, was
found lying in the street in front OF the house.
He was cut and gashed all over his head and
face and his upper lip was split open. He said
his name was VIM. Burton, and that he once be-
longed 10 New York regiment, but was then a
sutler. Another mana cavalrJ man-was killed,
il was said and was carried away by his friends
on horse. The residents of the vicinity say
they heard frequent and repeated cries OF murder
during Thursday night, but such outcrys being
of very common occurrence in that neighbor.
hood they paid no attention to them. Up TO last
evening nothing had been heard of the supposed
murdered cavalryman. though the neighbors were
confident that one man was killed by q stab from
one of the inmates of the house.
In addition TO the above, five soldiers were ar
rested in the house, add Eeyeral muskets seized
one of them loaded.
The Officers of the guard controlling Scream.
ersville, are very wei informed as to the great
number Of outrages and robberies occurring
therein. A good many arrests have been made.
We understand from sergeant Hurley of the
guard, that gun and pistol firing in his district is
so frequent and continual, that it IL difficult to
detect the vioators. Robberies of every sort are
more numerous in this district than in any otaer,
from what cause We will not pretend to say, but
we know the guard are as efficient as in any
other. The recital of these robberies aud out.
RACES would not interest the public but they are
now in fair way Of suppression through the
exertions OF the officers of the guard command
ing that district.

Wendell Phillips R.buked.

The leading New York journals have re-
buked Wendell Phillips for his late intern
perate speech at Boston in relation TO the
reorganization Of North Carolina. The
Herald exposes Phillips Inconsistencies, and
charges him with working against President
Johnson '.in the interest of Chief Justice
Chase, whose judicial robes do not conceal
his Presidential aspirations" The Times is
.sloth to impute" Phillips new enunciation
.'to wilful moral perversity," and says that
the "ouly explanation" it can give is that 'ft
comes from that dimneSs Of the general per-
ceptions which an intense and unceasing at
tention TO = single idea is apt to induce
The Tribune SAYS that 'but for his misior-
tune in having received his moral and reli-
giou training from a Bible wherefrom the
xiiilh chapter OF /. Corinthians Was unsc-
countably omitted, he might have taken rank
among the very foremost men of our age"
This last is "palpable HIT" The Tribune
might have rendered good service to Mr..
Philips aud host Of others by quoting the
scliptural passage entire. Its publication
would do good. That ''charity" of which
the Apostle Paul wrote is a quality much
needed nov. Il is, indeed, true that Phil
lips, or any other man, who makes great pre-
tensions, aud has not charity, "becOmes as
sounding brass and tinkhng cymbal." "Char-
ity vaunte,h not itself, is not pulled up, does
net behave iySel; unseemly, seeketh not her
own, Is not easily provoked, thinketh no
evil" Yaily, Mr.. Greeley must be correct
IN assuming that Wendell Phillips, able and
zeaous Is he is, has never read or needed
the 18Th chapter of lst Corinthians. His
Bible is doubtless defective in other re-
spects. The Tribune can inform Us whether
IL contains the Sd chapter Of James, or the
9th chapter of LIST Timothy. But it is IN
fair 70 hold Mr.. Phillips 10 accountable ty for
any disregard of Divine iDjunetions unless
he recognizes the New Testament as a stan

discriminate application Of scripture TO saint
and sinner is productive Of evil. The epis-
ties are addressed chiefly TO ''them that are
sanctiied," and are therefore inApplicable
TO the uurege Lerate. To which class Mr.
Phillips belongs We do not know.

on Broad street for delivery TO Consumers
When the war broke out, and after the seoues

eminent seized and sold the coal mines as the
property of alien enemies. The agents of the
New York company are now here seeking its re-
possession. This question OF the right of pur
chasers of sequestered property TO hold and pos.
