1t will be remembered that sometime
since we published small paragraph
stating that the Richmond Whig had
had been suppressed. The following it
appears, was the cause of the suppress.
sion of the Wig:
"rhe Whig was the only paper al.
lowed to continue it's publication after
the capture of Richmond. A. Ira Smith
was then the temporary proprietor. but
on the llth instant, W. NJ. Elliott and
j. G. Shields, its former conductors, re.
sumed its control, with R. Ridgeway as
editor he having retired from it, after
opposing secession, four years ago. In
his first editorial, land to which General
Terry took exceptions. Mr.. Ridgeway
signed his name, and in the course oft
remarked:

We cdby the following items from
the Charleston Courier Of the 24M uh !:
DIsaRAoEFUI. AFFAIR, AT ORANGE.
BURG, s. Give learn by gentleman
from 0rangeburg s. c., that a number
of the FIRST Ohio Cavalry have been
guilty lately of some very disgraceful
proceedings in that town, On Thurs.
day or Friday last, a large party ofthem
visited the store Of Jones g. johnson,
and instead of giving the protection
asked for, cleared the store of every.
thing in it, wantonly destroying and
throwing in the street whatever they
did not appropriate to themselves.
Messrs. Jones s. Johnston had a large
stock ofliquors, which they were dispos.
ing OF to the planters in exchange for
cotton and other produce. They had
refused TO- sell liquor to the soldiers, OK.
cept officers, and 1t was supposed this
refusal had enraged the men and led to
the pillaging of the store. Their loss is
estimated at between two and three
thousand dollars. The. Post Command.
ant did all in bis power to arrest the par.
ties, but was unable to save the store.
We learn that some of the same bar.
ty afterwards proceeded to the hotel
and caused some disturbances there
breaking glasses, furniture. &c.
The next day the Cavalry left for the
Eastern part OF the State.
