ANOTHER HIGHWAY ROBBERY,
Man Robbed by Three Negroes
on the fernando Road.

We have been informed of so nething
that transpired on the fernando road,
in Bills creek bottom, eight miles from
town, about nine O. clock this morning,
which shows that the gangs of negro
highwaymen that have infested
this road for some time past, still carry
on their nefarious business, in defiance
of the law and its officers. Mr. W l..
Stewart says, as he was coming along
the road, near the place named, he
passed an old gentleman riding in q
buggy, and shortly afterward met three
suspicious looking negroes, who, on his
approach drew three axes and pistol
from under log near the roadside.
Mr.. Stewart pulled out his pistol, but the
darkies made no hostile demonstration
toward him. He passed on short dis
lance, when, ON looking back, he saw
that the negroes had made the old gen
tleman get out of his buggy, one Of them
holding an axe in threatening manner
over his head, while another was search
ing his pockets and the other one rifling
his carpet sack Mr. Stewart started to
go to the assistance of the old gentle
man, but was prevailed TO stop, by the
alarm of lady and child who were in
the carriage with him. When the robbers
observed Mr.. Stewart about to proceed
towards them, they shook their axes and
pistol and deie6 him to come on, using
some very strong language. Mr.. Stewart
drove toward town rapidly, intending to
return if he met any white men, but did
not meet one until he got near town.
He met great number of negroes, how
ever who are to be seen on the road, ev-
identity engaged in chopping wood, but
some of them try their hand at highway
robbery, finding it much easier way Of
making living.
We have often written in regard to the
protection Of the people travelling on the
roads leading to town, in the hope that
something would be done to check the
highway robbery business Nothing has
been done that we have heard Of The
people still suffer. They are taxed for
protection and robbed with IMMUNITY.
From the feeling among some of the
planters, we should not be surprised if
protection is not soon given them - to
hear of a wholesale hanging of suspi-
cious negroes that loaf around these
roads, which will send another Radical
Congressional Committee down this
way, to report on the brutality of the
rebellious people of Shelby county.

The INDECENT SICK "A morning
journal having intimated that Police
Commissioner Beaumont was RESPONSE
BILE for the disgraceful manner in which
human beings have been permitted to
suffer and die from exposure and want
in the streets of the city, that officer has
published reply in which he states that
he applied to the Mayor for permission
to lodge the patients in the City Hospi-
tai, and was informed that that institu-
ton was full After much persuasion,
he succeeded in gaining admission for
some two or three patients, but was told
that all further applications must be
made to Judge Leonard, as it was the
duty of the county to provide for the
INDECENT sick. He then appealed to
Judge Leonard, in person, and was as
sured that the county was not response
BILE for the care Of sick paupers, but that
the city should be compelled to provide
for them Failing to obtain assistance
from this quarter, he gave orders at the
station-houses to have the destitute sick
found upon the streets removed to the
City Hospital, and if refused admission,
to leave them at the door. Through the
cooperation of DR.. Lynch, all cases thus
sent to the hospital were provided for,
until he received peremptory orders
from the Mayor to receive no more pa
tents without an order from him. He
states that he has since resorted to
every expedient to relieve their suffer-
ings. They have crowded the hall of
the old station-house on Adams street,
and have been carried in hacks and
on drays to different parts Of the
city in search of a place of refuge.
He says that when the report became
current that the cholera had made its
appearance in our midst, he visited the
Mayor and applied to him to provide ac-
commodations for patients suffering from
infections diseases He was informed
that the smallpox hospital could be used
for the purpose, and that there was am
pie room for large number of patients.

the expenses incurred in tke care Of such

The MILLS SHOOTING AFFRAY-The
case of Mr.. A. X. Mills, for the shooting
of DR. Lowe, short time since, was be-
fore Esquire Hall yesterday. The State
Attorney desired further continuance,
and introduced Dr. Bell, who testified
that he was DR.. loves physician, and
that he thought it would not be safe for
the Doctor to attend for some days TO
come, as he feared the exertion might
produce hemorrhage. He thought there
was no doubt he would recover, and if
death ensued from gunshot wound, it
would not be from this one. The Justice
took bonds for the appearance of Mills,
in the sum of two thousand dollars, at
the next term of the Criminal Court
The defense waived an examination, and
gave the bonds required.

TROUBLE WITH CoRPsEs.-We learn
that the Undertaken engaged by the city
to bury the dead for the City Hospital, is
now depositing them promiscuonsly in
the Freedmen's cemetery, at Fort Pick
ering. He has been burying them in the
Catholic cemetery, but few days since
some difficulty occurred between the sex
ton and the undertaker's representative,
when the latter refused to help bury the
corpses he carried to the graveyard,
leaving the collins and contents in a
very unceremonious manner on the side
walk, in front Of the cemetery, which re-
suited in the refusal to allow any more
TO be buried there.

Do not eat fresh fish or pork spurn un-

but little ice-water while over-heated be
temperate and regular in all your habits;
keep clean body clean house and
yard, using lime freely; Immediately
check the least diarrhea, or vomiting, or
pain in stomach The most sensible
plan is to send for regular physician in
all eases, yet a prescription from any
good physician will answer nearly as
we'll for all cases of diarrhea, pain in
stomach, vomiting, etc. Patent medi-
