The New Orleans Riot.

New YORK, August 28-A Times New
Orleans special says: The commission
ers appointed by General Baird to inves-
tigate the late riot have completed their
labors, and this report will show that
the first shot fired from revolver was
by white man at the procession OF
freedmen. Twenty minutes then expired
before any further disturbance took
place. When the procession reached the
place where the convention was in ses-
sion the police interfered with it, and i'll
attempting to make arrests fired upon
the freedmen, who returned the fire. A
mob of citizens then joined tho police
and the great massacre commenced. 1t
also shows that several policeman hid
their badges 50 as not to be recognized;
and after entering the hall they disre-
garded the white flag and fired indis-
criminately upon the members of tue
convention and spectators. Some of the
citizens wore badges indicating an or
ganization. Those in the room then,
with chairs, &c, drove the police and
attacking party out and barricaded the
doors. After the barricade was estab
lished not a single person in the build
ing escaped unharmed, and about thirty
we're murdered. While credit is given
to the police for saving the lives of ali
wLo were in the building and are not
now dead, the force is found guilty OF
nearly all the murders that were com.
mitted. The evidence shows that the
policemen killed freedmen when they
could have arrested them without
trouble; that wounded negroes were
thrown in q cart and killed while strug
Cling to free themselves from the dead
bodies which had been placed en- top OF
them. The commission will report that
the riot was caused by bitter feeling on
the part of the citizens and police toward
the radical unionists and freedmen
They will also probably report that il
was preconcerted, inasmuch as it is in
evidence that it was talked of severa
days previously. 1t is the opinion of the
commission that if the military had pot
appeared at the time it did the rio
would have progressed to the extermina
tion of all the unionists and freedmen il
the city. The city press are attacking
General Sheridan for what he reported
in his official dispatch, charging hin
with untruthfnlness.

WASHINGTON, August 25.--The letter
from General Howard, Chief of Freed
mems Bureau, to the Secretary of War,
recommends the cessation of rations ex-
cept to hospitals, after October the lst,
is published. The reasons he gives are
that charges are made that the freedmen
ara fed i'm idleness, that the statement
made by Generals Steedman and Tall,

idleness in the expectation Of rations
and that the crops are sufficiently ma
tured to prevent starvation.

The Norfolk post. [volume] (Norfolk, Va.) 1865-1866, 1866-01-23

We published, yesterday, a letter from
certain colored men in this city, in which
they advised their people to behave
themselves and to keep away from sin
and sinners. The printer followed
copy" and the composition was given
90 that all might see, for themselves, the
exact capacity of the signers in stating
and reasoning the subject which they
had in hand. And we think that 1t will
be admitted that the performance was a
very creditable one. The photography
and composition were as good as the best
English of two hundred years ago, and
altogether, it was a creditable exhibition
of men who were supposed to have been
slaves two or three years back. Not
withstanding all this, some o. the colored
men are dissatisfied with our liberality,
and complain, that we should have cor
rected the com .%nunication. This is the
characteristic vanity of the race, which
has q fondness for embellished speech
and decorated vests; but these follies will
pass away, in degree, as the colored mar
advances.

GENERAL SHERMAN ON A MILITIA
ORGANIzATIoN.-The New York State
Military Association met in Albany OH
the 10th inst. The proposition of a
National Guard was revived. Letters
were read from many of our most dis
tinguished Generals. The following Is
from General Sherman:
HEADQUARTERS MILITARY DIVISION OF THE MISSISSIPPI, |
ST. Louis, January 9, 1866.
1t is impossible for me to come to
ALBANY on the occasion referred to; but
I do heartily approve of the object, and
| wish you eminent success. Now Is the
appointed time, if ever, in our history
to place the militia of our country on a
footing honorable and useful to the ma
ton. Now it can claim all the honOrs
gained by the state volunteers, with
their experience in organization, equip
ment, and drill. I hope you in the great
state of New York will devise some good
system for the militia of the state, and
so represent it that other states will fol-
low the example and make it uniform
throughout. Service in the militia
during peace should be made attractive
and honorable, so that the organization
may be Immediately available in war,
until Congress has time to provide ma
tional troops for the emergency.
Again wishing you all possible sue.
cess, ! am, your Obedient servant,
w. II. SHERMAN, Major General.
