Time OF Discovery.

+. Shdinger Heiskell announces that be discov-
cred from the issue Of this paper of the I'd inst that
John B. Browniow was squirt" We do not
propose to contravert the truth of Stdnges as5er-
ton that we are Squirt We could not be pro-
vokod to consume space in disputing the spprOpri-
ateness OF any epithet the blackguardcoward could
apply to US. II obedience to his instincts Stidjngcr
lies Us 10 the tine when he made this discovery
We will state it. In August, 1864 Joseph B. Heis-
kell (son of Frederick captured by tho brigade
TO which we belonged. Joseph had been particeps
c5f't.H: to the atrocious murder Of several Union
citizens, and through several counties had &C
companied and encouraged band of rebel bush
whackers and thieves, who decorated loih .0hps the
backs Of the ic;0cs, sisters and daughters Of Union
soldiers.
Because Of these strocous and inhuman acts, it
was with difficulty that Gen. Gillem could prevent
the outraged Union soldiers Of East Tennessee from
taking the life of the worthy son of an illustrious
sire" In the presence of Heskelrs friends we pub
cly expressed the opinion that the ":oonan- rghip
pei should be shot. Ever since then the father of
the coward and brute has considered US squirt -
10. Heskell was not shot, he should have been,
but brought to this city and lin the presence of
his lustrious "parient u" marched to the Knoxville
jail, lr:th his hands tied behind him. The father
thought we exerted soma influence to have this dis
position made Of his brutal son.
Since then, as Assistant Special Agent of the
Treasury Department, we seized and sold the prop
erty of old hosskcLPs relatives and especial friends
who were in the rebel army. Because of this he
was positive that we we're squirt"
On one occasion he had the impudence 10 apply
to US to release the property of especial friend of
his who was fighting in the rebel army. This we
fatty refused to do. Old Fred. left our office doclar
ing we were q id squirt"
The time of bis discovery and the cc,ssy which led
to il, we have stated.

The Memphis Riots.

The brutal negro massacre at Memphis turns out
to have been Fort Pillow affair upon a small scale.
1t turns out that the city authorities incompe
tent, according to the showing of their papers.
Gen Thomas WILL Of course require the city author
titles TO pay for the property destroyed by fire. And
under the Civil Rights Bill, it may be that heavy
damages will be required for the killing of heads of
families! Better look to coISe9 eJlces before bring
ing on another riot.
We submit two extracts from two rebel Memphis
papers-the first from the Argus, and the next from
the Commercial They tell the truth in their own
way and would not be apt to do their rebel friends
injustice:
As we have said beforc-thirty well disciplined
policemen could easily have put down this Memphis
riot In its inception. II Is now we'll established
fact that L the higher city officials had faithfully
performed their duty when the first collision occur
red on Tuesday afternoon, there would in all human
probability, have been no riot at all.
Very we'll, this confession clearly shows the want
of Metropolitan police. The Commercial makes
the following equslly startling confession
The order of Mai. Gen. Stoneman assuming con.
troll of the peace Of the city, has been generally
ceivcd by our citizens with satisfaction 1t was felt
that the civil authorities from the difficulty of the
slluution which will be comprehended BY those ia
mlliar with L. were unable TO control the elements
of oscord and TO concentrate their power upon the
suppression Of the disturbances existing in the com
munIty.
