Massacre of Negroes.

A terrible ARRAY between whites
and blacks lately took place at Mem.
phis, Tenn The riot had its origin in
fight between a negroe expressman
and white hack driver whose vehicles
came in collision. The police went to
the help of the white man, and the me-
groes rushed to the rescue of their coli
ored brother. The fight soon became
general, and continued at intervals
through Tuesday and Wednesday.
There were some twenty deaths in all,
and many others wounded The nc.
groesawere the principal sufferers
Many negroes have been arrested, and
were found heavily armed. The drunk
en- Mayor being unfit for duty, Gcncr-
al Stoneman, who is in command of
the few troops remaining in that vicin-
ity, interiercd to suppress the riot
and Restore order. Eight negro
churches and schnol-houses and thirty
tenements were destroyed The white
rioters were principally roughs."
The Sheriff7s posse attempted to arrest
all the negros. They fled to Fort
Pickering, firing as they ran They
were driven from the fort and sought
the woods, bat returned the next day.
The destruction of the negro houses
and schools was a dastardly piece of
business, and the ignorant and deprav-
ed character of the mob that perpetra-
ted the outrage is evident, being
doubtless composed Of the same class
of wretches who committed similar
outrages i'll New York during the
draft riot of 1864.
