RIOT IN GOLDsBoRo' We learn that dis
turbance occurred 10 Goldsboro last week, be-
tween some negroes and the police Of said town.
A negro had been arrested, aud in default Of
bail, was ordered to prison, when he resisted
and some Of his comrades attempted to rescue
him from Mr. Morrell, chief Of police. Mr.
Morrell, it is said, made several effectual shots
at the negro who interfered, infcting mortal
wounds. The prisoner shot at Mr. Morrell, and
in turn Mr. Morrcll returned the fire, and the
negro was killed almost instantly. We regret
to learn that Mr. Morrell, who acted a most
noble part in the matter, was severely cut in
several places by the negro who attempted to
interfere, and who Mr. Morrell killed while in
the discharge of his duties as chief of police.
We learn that negro by the name of Gallo
al no IiCtnr h.
ance. This man Galloway is well known in this
community. We hear that Galloway made his
escape.
Gentlemen who give us the above information
speak highly of the Conduct of the Major in
command Of the Freedmen's Bureau on the &C.
casion and also of Lieut. Granger, 10 charge of
the U. S. guard at Goldsboro'. These gentle
men are said to have acted most pobly in the
whole matter Wilmington Journnl.

the negro who instigated ihe trouble, off, and
troops were sent to hunt him,
