Murders by Negro Soldier.

A party of our gentlemen on Saturday
night hired hack to take them out on the
Buena Vista pike. On returning, and
when near the suburbs of the city, some
twenty-five negro soldiers commenced an
indiscriminate firing ON the hack. At
tempts were made to cut the lines and stop
the vehicle The windows were broken
in, and the occupants were shot and beaten
over the head with dubbed muskets
Three of the men leaped from the hack.
The driver was shot through the neck, and,
whipping his horses, managed to escape, in
spite of attempts to head him of, and nu-
merous shots fired after him.
After getting Off some fifty yards, be
could hear the negroes trying to kill the
three men left behind. The man in the
hack fell between the seats, which were
smeared with gore. Nothing, as far as we
could learn up to last night, had been
heard from the three persons who ieaped
out OF tie hack. This assault occurred on
Sunday morning, between twelve and one
o'clock. We have these facts from persons
who conversed with the driver We could
not procure any names -Ndshrile Press

right hand OF fellowship will be given to the
Southern dioceses in order that at least one of
