ForSD, FoUSD We may we'll repeat
this grateful sound again and again, for so
often it salutes the ears of owners Of things
that were lost, and advertised in the DIS
Patch. Thursday it returned horse, and
Yesterday ,cntch to their owners. Both
esteemed much and greatly lamented
when lost. Their restoration Of course
impaired delight. Some people may be
surprised that we should feel little pride
in the achievements of this DiSpdtch-in
its penetrating and searching activity.
But we confess it boldly! There is dan
ger. however, in its vigilance. 1t may oc-
casion apathy in the police, and throw the
heavy responsibilities OF city government
and order upon its shoulders. The D.s-
patch is magnanimous and genial spirit:
It's pleasure is to aid the repression OF
transgression by illuminating the ways and
promoting the order of the city. But It's
duties are too broad and comprehensive to
shoulder an increased responsibility 1t
il delighted to be that agile detective,
which has become so celebrated, and will
continue to find everything, from an um-
hrella to watch, horse to house,
waterfall to windmill.

DrupISG Dirt N SHocKoE CREEK.-lt
has how become the custom for persons
who are digging out foundations, or who
have in any other way any spare dirt, to
dump il all in Shockoe creek between
Broad and Franklin streets. The hrst
heavy rain that comes will wash hundreds
II toas of this loose dirt into the river, TO
he deposited on the bar, where the city ma:
chine is so busiIy dredging, or else to aid
in making a new bar on its own private
account. Either result is very much to be
treadcd, and the city authorities had better
take the matter in hand at once.

THE NEGRO RIOT oN SATURDAY EVENING
LASr.-Willam IsaacS, Isaac Williams, and
James Peters, negrocst were examined by
the Mayor on yesterday. The evidence for
the Commonwealth showed inconStcStably
that young man named Alexander Davis
was ioStlcd 10y a negro; that the negro then
cursed him, and that Mr.. Davis then struck
the negro. Mr.. Davis was then knocked
down, kicked, and beaten by the negro, who
then ran of. He was pursued by Mr.. DAVIS,
but made his escape. In the course ot the
pursuit, number of negroes, amongst
whom were the prisoners, came up to aid
the runaway. The prisoner Peters %as
armed with 4 hatchct, with which he
knocked one of the witnesses down, and
he was also with the other prisoners en-
gagged in throwing rocks.
Against this evidence, which was suS-
tanned bv five or six witnesses, the accused
brought up two negro boys, who swore
point-blank that they saw the whole affair
from the beginning to the end, and that
neither of the prisoners had anything to
do with il.
The whole Of the prisoners were sent on
to he indicted in the llustings Court for
miSdcmcanOr.

TIE TOBACCO EXCHANGE.-A meeting OF
the buyers and sellers at the Tobacco Ex-
change was held yesterday to consider the
rules and regulations Of the Board. {. K.
Barksdale was appointed chairman and
Archer Boiling secretary.
Mr.. J. II. Martin, from the Committee
on Regulations, made report, which being
read, was adopted without amendment.
Three hundred copies were ordered to be
printed. To an outsider the regulations
seemed to be excellent.
4 resolution requiring each tobacco
buyer to pay five dollars per annum to aid
in dctraying the expenses OF the Exchange
was considered at some length, there being
much cuntraricty OF opinion on the subject
both AS To the amount and as to whether
it should be levied in the manner pro.
posed.
The resolution was finally amended so a
10 assess ten dollars upon each member OF
the association, and TO require the payment
of that sum OF all persons entering the TX
change 10 buy or sell tobacco.
After Skirmishing debate, in which the
question of the tax as All assessment pro.
trctiyc to persons doing business in the
Exchange, and rs to its propricty as a quio
pro qltO for the luXuricS of space, light, and
air, and ice water in summer, and the con-
sUlatons Of fire and other comforts i'll win
ter to those who paid no rent, the matter
was deferred to an adjourned meeting tc
be held on Monday next after the tobacco
sale.
The election of officers of the Tobacco
Exchange Board will take place under the
regulations adopted on the lSt JULY" but
as that is Sunday, it will be put OFT TO Mon
day.
lTheSc tobacconistS are glorious fellows
But it is very evident that tobacco IS
great stiuulant 10 talk

CtosF or THE LABORATORY FREE SCHOOLS.
On last Wednesday the free schools held
during the last eight or nine months in the
buildings contiguous to the Hollywood Ce-
metery closed their second session for a
vacation of three months. A lew words
about their origin and what they have ac-
complished may interest our readers.
These schools were originated by the
American Union Commission, and were
taught during the first session III the Bap-
tst and Methodist churches on BelVIdere
Hill. In order to accommodate the num-
bers that applicd-trom Bclvidere Hill,
from Sidney, and indeed from the city pro-
pcr-thcy were moved to their present To-
cation. The Laboratory Is contiScated pro-
perty, appropriated by the authorities to
this use. The furniture OF the schools con-
ssts in part Of the desks OF the Contede-
rate Congress, purchased at auction, and
number of beautiful scttecs loaned by the
Cay-strcet Baptist Church. The lnStltu-
ton comprises a select school for boys, a
select school for girls, and large mixed
school for the younger pupils OF both sexes.
There have been in attendance as many as
four hundred pupils at one time, and from
first to last, more than six hundred have
received instruction-many Of them the
children of deceased Confederate soldiers.
On the first of June the Union Commls-
sion withdrew its support from the school,
and the Soldiers Memorial Society OF BoS-
ton assumed the expense OF continuing
them.
The teachers at the Laboratory Free
Schools have made no secret OF their \ mon
sentiments, but have never done or SAID
ANYTHING 10 lessen the sct-reSpect OF the
children. The utmost freedom OF opinion
was allowed both ways, and with good ef-
feet. The friendship between the teachers
and scholars became very cordial, and
when the closing scene came, the girls were
all in tears, and the boys ackno" lcdgcd
they felt as badly as the girls. An iu-
mcnse amount OF good has been done
| Hundreds of children who would other
wise have spent the year in roaming over
the fields either in idlcncsS or engaged IN
vicious practices, have spent the time IN
gaining the rudimcntS OF an English educa-
ton. Many OF them have learned TO read,
who perhaps would have learned in no
! other way: and many have acquired a
taste for study and an ambition 10 learn
which, in the cases of some, may make
them men and women Of mark. We nope
the enterprise may bc continued IRON
wear 10 year until some general system OF
trcc-school education shall superscdc 1t.

RIOT I'm MACON-TROUBLE WITH
THE NEGRO SOLDIERS.

The following dispatch to the Cincinnati
Commercial gives the outlines to what we
suppose to be quite a serious affair:
A very serious affair occurred in Macon
a riot A difficulty occurred at Vineville
Ia suburb of Macon), between a lad named
Robert Boss and some negro soldiers. Boss
was taken prisoner by the negroes, and
while being taken into Macon, was struck in
the head by brickbat and severely bay
oneted. While passing through town, they
were stopped by a Federal officer, who or
dered the immediate release of Boss, and
had him conveyed to his fathers residence.
His wounds are not considered fatal Durin g
the afternoon crowds Of young men collect
ed about the corners of the streets and in
the neighborhood of the headquarters of the
commandant, and it soon became evident
that trouble was brewing. 1t is not known
who fired the first shot-but soon a perfect
fusilade took place on Mulberry street.
Civilians as well as soldiers were obliged
to seek shelter from the volleys that were
fired at them. No one was killed three or
four were wounded. But it is supposed none
MORALLY. Guards were soon thrown out
from headquarters, on three or four streets,
and quiet restored. The good councils Of
Mayor Collins and Judge Sparks, and the
prudence of the officers in command was all
that prevented a most deplorable riot. May
or Collins has called on Col. Bryant, the
commander, and has the promise of an i'm
mediate investigation. The whole affair was
over in twenty or thirty minutes. The more
prudent citizens went promptly to the spot
and persuaded the inhamed young men to
desist These negro troops have been very
insulting to the people of Macon since they
have been stationed there, making numer-
Gus threats of what they intended to do.
