On TIE RIGHT TRACK.--One Of our
popular news-dealers, Mr.. Thompson,
was guilty Of drowning puppies this
morning. He went down to the wharf
with twenty-five or thirty copies of
Harpel's Weekly under his arm; form
ed a neat bundle of them, attached a
moderate sized stone to them, and
chucked them into the muddiest place
he could find. There were several sick
fish seen about the place soon after
evidently poisoned
Another dealer, we understand, Mr..
Marks, sent all the numbers of this
delectable sheet received by the last
mail, back to the worthy publishers.
These last copies of Harper's are par

A negro and a white man got into a
personal encounter in Columbus.
Ohio, the other day, and after the free
use of brickbats and other missiles for
a while, Sambo came out victorious
A crowd Of white men, however, soon
started in pursuit of the negro, and
but for the timely interference of an
officer, the unbleached gentleman
would have received a g loyal " death.
Had this encounter taken place down
South, it would have been made the
subject of a voluminous report to
Washington, and in a few days Wash
ington letters would team with &C
counts of q cruelty to the negroes 10y
their former masters.
On THE RIGHT LINE.-The Louis
vile journal makes a confession of
Democratic faith, and will hereafter
labor for the obliteration of the freed
mems bureau bill everywhere; for the
disbanding Of the last negro soldier;
for the cessation of all military law
and the universal restoration of the
great writ of freedom; for the annull-
ment of all confiscations for the
equal powers and rights and privileges
of the whole people of the old Union !;
for the unconditional pardon of all
the paroled Confederates who have
kept their faith, for the immediate IN
locking Of the prison doors OF all pris-
oners held in captivity upon the
charge of treason; and finally, for the
re establishment of the Republic upon
the plan which our noble President has
recommended. and is exerting all his
energies to carry out. Prentice says
he is in earnest and Jealous for these
things We hope to see them all ac-
complished at an early day
As In SHOULD BE.-The President
has emphatically announced his deter
mination to require that those who re
ceive office shall recognise this policy
aud his principles. Those that sur
round him hereafter must conform to
his policy This gives the restoration
party the whole influence of the eX-

A TRIBUTE TO GALLANTRY cor
respondent of the Huntsville Gala J
Independent, in his Memoirs of the
18th Alabama" relates the following
incident of a charge made by the reg
iment upon the Federal works on the
28th July, 1864, during the siege of
Atlanta
So fatal was the charge the regiment
made that seven color bearers were
shot down in succession; the last, see
ing the flag about to fall from the
crushed arm that bore 1t, seized the
shattered staff and waving it far in adj
vance, planted it upon the enemy's
breastworks Just as the death -wound
struck HIM, ere the regiment could
follow him, overwhelming numbers
forced them to fall back, and the col
ors remained in the hands of the enc
my. But it is gratifying to know that
such peerless courage was appreciated
even by the foe; for two months later,
when the regiment again passed the
spot, a neat looking mound near the
Notifications, with the following in
scription on its head board marked his
resting place.
