Bss- We are informed, and our in
Eormant knows all about it, that a
special messenger was dispatched from
this place to GAINESVILLE to borrow flags,
banners, notices, pictures, &c. to be
used on the occasion Of the so-called
soldiers reunion. That the same dis
play Of flags, &c, might have been seen
in the Fred Douglass procession and
demonstration at GAINESVILLE on the 21st
inst. How appropriate. One thing,
or n feature only was wanting to
complete this picture, Fred. was not
here, but we had his representative, II
not in color in sentiment, in the late
Col. Stafford and other lang-whangers.

dlera ON ROuutieR.

We learn from an official statement
from the War Department. that there
are. over 1000, 900 claimants for tho
S5O,O00,000 bounty money to be distri-
buted amoeg tho soldiers. OF these
bounties 100000 900 are to go to ne
gro soldiers. There was not n negro
soldier to half-a-dozen whites yet they
get two-fifths OF all the bounties. For
instance, 100000 negroes got 2 10000
600, while 900, 600 whites only receive
100000 600. Each negro soldier seems
to receive more than twice as much as
a white soldier. Enquirer.

who went out from Morgan county to
putdown the Rebellion, only about 100,

be induced to participate in the Pond,

On the day ofthe Radical fandango
in this place, an uncailed for assault
vas made upon Enoch Dye, Jr., by one
Gilbert Gilley. We understand the
facts to be that Dye was p~eaceable and
acting in good order and in no manner
or way molesting or disturbing any
one, when Gilley, under the color OF

MARSHALL made the outrageous assault.
Such outrages ms these should not be
tolerated. No one, we are satisfied,
was disposed to modest or hinder the
Radicals in their demonstration, and
no one did anything to mar the pro-
eeedings, They had it all their own
way such as it was. Many of course
were disgustcd and ashamed of the
q performance and the sentiments utter
ed by the several speakers, but all were
disposed to let them go ahead in their
revolutionary woy and rcbcllious doc
ltrine.
