DEPARTURE OF SOLDIERS.

On Friday morning last, the Federal Soldiers
goade adieu to this place. Our citizens, observ-
ing one Of the well established canons of polite
mess d not fail to ''speed their departing
friends" Whatever may be the sorrow of sable
feminines of easy virtue, we have no doubt the
colored males experienced relief akin to JOY, as
some of the soldiers seemed to take pleasure in
cutting, beating md naitreating generally the in
offensive colored men. The colored men found
that their supp osed friends were their worst enc
mics, and no doubt, rejoice heartily at their de-
parture Our advice to them is, to behave them
selves properly, and We guarantee that they vii.
receive none other than kind treatment from their
old friends, the whites of the South.
The colored people will learn, after short
time, that the sentiment expressed by President
johnson In his message is true. lie said

to those who enlivened our otherwise rather dull
Christmas by giving us series of Tableaux and ORA

was rather small both nights, but what lacking
in quantity was made up in quality.
Alittle bell soon announced the raising of the cur

ease and grace of old comedians, and gave US "Nt
Rose without Thorn" this most common play
with sich perfection that help regard
