PROFESSOR HoLXrs' LECTURE AT THE
CHARLESTON CoLLEaE.-.The announcement of
ale ture on" Splinters from the wreck for
mer world" attracted large audience Of the
curious and scientific, and tho name Of Pro-
fessor Holmes drew numbers Of his personal
friends and admirers. 1t would be imposs-
BILE III the small space allotted to newspaper
notice to give correct analycis Of the dis
course, therefore We will only alluds to what
was to ua the most interesting feature Of the
entertainment. The collection Of specimens
intended, We suppose, to represent the afore-
said "spnters," were most graphically de
scribed, and we only regret that the lateness
Of the hour did not allow the Professor to de-.
scribe also the specimens of animals and
plants which be had taken the pains to col
lect. The only drawback to the enjoyment
Of these lectures, as VIC have observed Oh 4
former occasion, is the use oftschnical names
which intersperse the descriptions like 80
many quotations from an unknown tongue.
Perhaps this is:unavoidabe, but We auggest
in future the use OF blanks to save the breath
Of the speaker and the fruitless bothering Of
the audiences. Caroinian, 18th.

NEGROES CHAKGEn Br THg MILITARY WITH
Fixed BAYoNErs.-Y Ycsterdar afternoon, hear.
ing that there had been considerable row in
Calhoun street, we repaired to the Guard
House for information, where We obtained
:he following particulars: Just before dark, a
policeman attempted to arrest 3 drunken ne
gro in Calhoun street, near tho now African
Church. llo resisted and several negroes
came to his assistanco Other policemen.
Joined their fellow watchman. More negroes
continued to jpin in the fracas, until it
amounted to n riot, in which the police were
being badly worsted. Assistance was then
asked Of the military, and chcerfully rendered.
Lieutenant Freeman, of the 9Th U. S. kegu-
lar Infantry, at the head Of squad of men
with fixed bayonets, charged the negroes and
completely routed them, capturing twenty Of
their number, after an exciting chase of seyc.
raj squares. Among the number captured
were three members of the 35th q. S. Colored
Troops. All the rest were citizen negroes,
The thanks of the community are due to
Lieutenant Freeman and his men, az well as
to I.ieutenants Whaley and Hendricks, and
the police under them, for their promptness
and determined conduct in quelling the riot.
We only wish that we could expect from the
Provost Court a sentence which would make
their service of some avail. A few days i'm.
prisonment, few dollars fine, and, perhaps,
word of rcbuke, is all We can expect.
What will the negroes care for that} They
cannot pay the fine, and q, for the imprison-
ment, they would stay in jail all the tima if
they were only allowed the honor and priv.
lcge of fighting the police once q month.
Our police are few in number, and, in justice
10 them as well as the community at large,
some punishment should be inflicted on those
who resist them, which would discourage and
prevent such conduct. AS long as our po-
icemen can be resisted with impunity, the
community is not safe, and the policemen
themselves are not properly supported in the
duties which they are required to perform for
the protection Of the city.-Charleston South
