gUyHE Instruments now manufactured by
this well-known, long-establishsd firm
are the results of nearly halfa century OF
study, experiment and improvements
Possessing greater advantages than all other
makers through this long period OF increas-
ing experience, two generations of active,
energetic minds I'VE been ~assiduously em-
ployed in perfecting their productions.
THE CHICKERlNG PIANOS.
Are now at the head Of all the Instruments
manufactured in this country. For purity
and sorority oft0ne, elegance 0ftniSh, thor
ouohneSs and Durability Of st'uctuTs, they
rank foremost of all.
With the merely mechanical excellence
which results largely from the ingenious in
yentions of Messrs. Chickering themselves,
they combine q beauty, delicacy, and poetry
of tone which is q rare charm, and seems TO
depend as much on the intelligence as on
the handiwork of the maker.
Among the leading artists who have visi-
ted his country and well-known Pianists
of Boston and New York who use the
| i.Chickering Piano in preference to those
| of other makers in the country, may be
mentioned.

THE Lafayette Courier has an arti-
Gle advocating the propriety of farm
ers turning their attention to the bust
ness of raising hemp-Erchaage.
As there is fair prospect of the
villains who have for several years
been ruling and running the country
getting their just deserts, we think the
suggestion of the Comier's good one.
There is sure to be a great demand for
the article referred to- Tiaccnnes
San.
We fear there is little prospect Of
the villains who ruled and attempted
to ruin the country getting their just
deserts. There is always some one
to interfere. President JOHNSON has
saved the necks of several of these
villains, and Gen. HovEY saved one
ina1S6l, when the gallant boys of the
24th were going for him. The hemp
is greatly Needed, but we fear it will
rot be properly used.

SHoppINa IN THE SoUTH.-Tht

SHOPPING IN THE SoUTH.-The Co
lumbus miss. J Inder complains that
recently in that city several freed
women, dressed in the latest fashion,
drew up in their carriages before some
of cur principal stores, and called the
clerks to bring out certain goods for
their inspection"
We have known the same prejudices
to exist in the minds of parUenues at
the North, but if the negro wenches
can afford to dress in the latest fash
ion and drive their carriages, why
should they not be allowed the priyi-
lege? It is wealth that gives these
privileges to white people; why should
it not confer a like privilege on the
Ethiopian? ms

4 N.AsHv4El.E dispatch to the. Mis-.

a. ~sry Y fs N~-e' kss-Nfr ~ Va - f,
souri, Democrat says sl
Every report that comes from Mem
pliis renders it more certain that the
entire riot was hellish outrage upon
the blacks, numbers of whom were
murdered without provocation, and
only to crafty the barbarous passions
engendered by slavery and treason.
At first 1T was thought the blacks
were guilty of commencing the dis
turbance, but even that is successfully
disputed, and the whole thing appears
to have originated from an assault by
the police upon some discharged col
ored soldiers, who, although making
a noise, we're neither iniuring nor mo-
Testing anybody. Such I find is the
view takensby all military authorities
here, and is no doubt correct. Gen.
Ben. j. Runkle, Bureau Commits
sionef at Memphis, writes a letter to
Gen. O. B Fisk, detailing the riot of
the I'd, and closing with these words:
= Permit me, General, to urge upon
you to use your utmost influence to
procure the passage of a metropolitan
police bill for this city. Until this or
something else is done no man with
loyal blood in his viens, or with
black skin, is safe. Something must
be done at once in this city. !"

The Memphis Riots.

We publish this morning, on our
second page, a detailed account Of the
late riots In Memphis, on Wednesday
and Wednesday night. These details,
it will be seen, differ very materially
from the accounts telegraphed North,
as also from the accounts published
by the secession papers of Memphis.
The 4poloaehe says the negroes
fred from their inclosure, but imme-
diately says the assault was promptly
defended by the police and citizens !;
result, three negroes killed and feur
wounded-no white man hurt. Now,
that must have been deadly assault,
indeed, upon the whites. The most
Absurd rumors were put into circula-
ton by the police and rabble of the
city to infame the public mind against
the negroes. 1t is somewhat signif-
can't, that while there were over
twenty negroes killed, taking the
lowest estimates, and many more
wounded, that only one white man
had died, up to Thursday night. The
highest number of, casualties on the
part of the whites were three killed
and four wounded, and yetit is asserted
that the negroes made deadly assaults
ON the whites. We have no doubt
that when the truth comes ont, it will
be found that negroes were wantonly
shot down, whenever seen, without
any reference as to whether they had
taken any part in the mob or not, and
the fact that negro churches, school
while not single dwelling belonging
to a white man was fred, will lead
thinking men to believe that the ne
groes were not the most feDdish opera
tors on that bloody night.

The people interested Ia this enter
prise have become disguised with the
indifference manifested by the citizens
of indianapolis in its success, and
talk of transferring the whole sub
scription to the Burnside Road, which
is being completed to Martinsgille on
White River. The subscribers to the
new road say that if thepeople of In
dianapolis think the citizens of other
towns and counties are going to build
railroads, which will benefit that city
more than any other point. without
fheif'co operation, they will find them
selves deceived when it will he too
late TO rectify the mistake. Hitherto
the Capital of our State has been.
blessed In that roads from all parts of
the State have been completed with
out any assistance from her or
her citizens but ffha4f timeS ,sl.as
passed. indianapolis will have to
awake and. put forth efforts in pro-
portion to the interests she has
at stake, or she will find HERSELF cut
in the colds' almost before she. is
aware of it. .iAllaround her railroads
are being constructed which will draw
off trade which has hitherto been ex-
ciusiEely her Own, and transportation
which has in past years gone over
roads running through that city, is
now finding outlets in other direc-
tons.
But~Indianapolis is not alone iii
her Indifference topublic enterprises. |
Evansville has "a record in this re-
spect that is hnmiliating to conteln-
plate, and unless a change comes over
the spirit of the dreams of some Of |
our capitalists, Ichabod may as
well be written upon our walls. Two
or three prominent enterprises are |

say whether they shall fail, or by |
them successful. insure the |
rapid growth of our city, and place |
