DARtSG ROBBERY. - Yesterday evening. just
after dark, q negro soldier entered the fruit and
srocery store Of Mrs. Masters, on Capitol street,
and, after making some trifing purchases, handed
I her a SIS bill to change. Mrs. Masters gave him

The Columbus Sentinel states that the colored
people Of that 3own lately gave tableau and CON
icert to which white people were admitted at hall
price.
The Meridian Tropic states that large number
aof the freedmen about Meridian have made con-
tracts for the present year. The thing is oc-
cnrring here, and in every part of the State from
which we haveany information. The Tropfc adds:
I We are gratified TO hear that We Thought that
time and experience would teach the freedmen
that they must work for a living. Let kindness
and fair-dealng be shown Them and they will dis
appoint the expectations of those who can see but
little, II anything, good in them. Give them time
~ learn their true condition., and find out what
freedom means. Some apprehension had been
felt at Meridian, of outbreak during the Christ
mas holidays. Everything passed off smoothly
md quietly. Col Zeigler, commanding the Post,
and Capt. Euchwalter, who has charge Of the
Freedmen's Bureau, are good officers and courteous
i gentlemen. EClarion.
