AmAzoNiAN --Yesterday morning there
was a little fight near the Market-house, in
Portsmouth, between negro woman. named
Nancy White, and a white girl. named Melissa
Jane Pelrneter. 1t seems that Melissa Jane

since, and this morning, Nancy wanted to
make some purchases, and asked Melissa for
the promised quarter, which, she not having
conveniently the old lady started to accompany
her to some place where she would obtain it.
On the way, Melissa knocked Nancy in the

are concerned, keep them all right. But the

MIR. JULIAN AND THE BOUNTY BILL.

Mr., JULIAN has two young gentlemen in
Washington City, who depend upon small clerkships
for their daily subsistence employed in writing letters
over the country, claiming for their distinguished
patron the authorship of the Soldiers Bounty Bill,
which recently passed the House of Representatives
The facts these. Mr.. JULIAN found that his COW
arty conduct and treatment of the officers and SOL
diers from this Congressional District had gained for
him their universal contempt and that he must do
something to become their champion. While he was
waiting for something to turn up, Hon. HENRY Will
son, introduced Bounty Bill into the Senate, which
1r JULIAN at once appropriated and copied all of
main features, excepting one which prohibited Claim
Agents from collecting claims of this character This
Mr.. JCLIAS omitted thus becoming the instrument of
a mercenary set of sharks who swindle aud starvs
veteran soldiers TO death. II is elknown fact
that Congress beseged by Claim Agents, to pre-
wont the passage of any such clause that contained
IN the bill of Mr.. WILsoS, and do doubt that
Mr.. JuLrAS selected by them as their special
advocate. What compensation he received, We are
unable to say; but inasmuch these Claim Agents
got up Serenade for him, and had it teegraphed
over the country, being under the auspices of the
otiiers and Sailors Association We presume the
debt cancelled.
The idea of Mr.. JULIAN having any sympathy with
soldiers absurd. He is natural coward and never
had any sympathy with the soldiers. He steadfastly
exposed the State aud National Administrations dur
ing the first two years of the war-denounced those
who were raising volunteers incompetent and the
Executire OF the State unworthy the position he
occupied. He visited Hospital or Battlefield
TO look after the welfare of sick wounded soldier
from his District did every other Union Congress
lie. however spent his time in running about
the departments az Washington, misrepreseutlng and
abusing gallant ard meritorous officers. who were
the field pering their lives defence of the coun-
try.
While there were hundreds of meriterious soldiers
in this District of them received an ap-

interfering and trying by misrepresentation and abns
10 MANNED soldiers from Federal Offices to
Which they had been appointed through the 1uenes

Il IS just five years teo late for Mr.. Julian at
tempt to obtain favor from soldiers His record is
before the people and he cannot succeed in making
any Intelligent soldier believe that he has one real
spark of genuine sympathy with them. His hypoc-
rsy Is too transparent aud will deceive any
We repeat what we have said above, that the bill
