ANOTHER ONE OF THEN
From the EufaIa, Ala. News


One day last week, regular " blue nose "
schoolmaster, landed on a plantation about
dozen miles from this place, and informed
the negroes thereuPon, that he had been
sent out by the government to shed light
on their benighted souls. The first day he
carefully avoided the white family, and ON
the next the owner of the place having
heard of his arrival, proceeded to the ne
gro quarter and found him. He made the
same statement to him, and the gentleman
asked for his documents. Some negroes
being present, Yank. said they were not
handy, but would bring them over in the
evening. The planter told him he was in
favor of education, gave him store-house
for his school room, and the upper part of
1t as sleeping apartment. Schoolmaster
was profuse in his thanks, and with all
humility, stated he would be sure to en-
Tighten that neighborhood. That night,
he retired to bed, but not to sleep. About
10 o'clock P. NJ, he approached the cabin
of freedman, and informed him that he
was afraid to sleep in that store aud would
rather stay with him. The negro was sick,
laying on a pallet before the door, but
kindly arose and gave him the cool place,
and sought another not quite so pleasant
to his feelings. When the feedman awoke
in the morning, the Yank. was gone, and
also three coats, one hat, one pair of shoes,
and about eight dollars 10 greenbacks.
The same night, mule was stolen in the
neighborhood, and it is supposed that he
was in such a hurry that he preferred
riding to walking. He says his name is
Wright, and halls from Henry county,
Indiana.

THE WARS OF THE FACTIONs.

The Radicals are having quite an ex-
citing time over the prospective pickings
which the city treasury will afford during.
the coming municipal year. Ii is evident
from their very amiable squabbles that
there are not enough Offices to furnish
the greedy expectants, and the conse-
quence is a family quarrel as to who
shall enjoy the spoils that is quite enter
tanning to the poor white trash whose
only part in the matter is to pay the taxes
that may be levied upon them On the
18th inst a convention was held at the
capitol, "in pursuance to the call Of the
City Central Committee of the Radical
party, which nominated Mai A. E. Alden,
Brownlows Commissioners of Registra-
ton, for Mayor; and before the proceed
ings Of the convention saw the light Of
day through the Radical organ, Maj Al
den accepted the nomination Ward con
ventions had previously nominated
candidates for Aldermen and Council
men to be run on the same ticket AT
the same hour the convention was
being held in the capitol, another conven-
ton Of Radicals was in full blast in the
courthouse, which nominated Mr. Abram
Myers for Mayor, and also put in nomina
ton candidates for Aldermen and Coun-
cilmen in the different wards. Some of
these we're the same as had been nomi-
mated by the Alden faction, but the most
of them have Indignantly declined the
honor rendered them by the Myers fac
ton. The Alden faction at their conyen.
ton, claiming to act and speak for the
Radical party OF the city, adopted a reso-
luton requesting the Radical papers to
place at the head Of their columns the
name of A. E Alden as the Republican
candidate for Mayor Of Nashville The
Press aRd Times has contumaoiously re-
fused to do so, and mas insisted that both
Alden and Myers be dropped and that
Mr.. II. G. Scovel be taken up as the
Radical candidate. That paper is
about to succeed in at least getting a
third ticket before the loyal voters Of the
city, for its issue Of yesterday contains a
call for a convention Wednesday next TO
nominate a candidate for Mayor and
T" that the name Of no candidate be pre-
scented to said convention who win not
consent beforehand to abide by the &C
ton Of said convention. This call
emanated from what is reported to have

WASHINGTON, August 23.-Six clerks in
the Office of the Freedmen's Bureau in this
district have been transferred to the De-
partment Of Mississippi.
The total customs receipts at Fl We princi-
pal ports, for the week ending on the 18th,
were S4,O19, 600.
The following statement was obtained
from gentlemen who are in position to
speak with knowledge of ala the facts on
thesubject, that on the l4th inst. theinstruc.
lions sent Gen. Sickles, excepting United
States courts from operation of military
orders, were suspended until his report and
views upon the matter could be received.

Wilmington reported that the Attorney
General had instructed the Marshal for

resisted him in the performance of his
duty. Instructions had never been issued

trick. A few days ago the Radical cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette

sumo that Alden, claiming to be the.reg-

Letter FRo,T eEN. sHERupAN

The following letter from Gen. Sheridan
has been received in Washington
HEADQUARTERS FIFTH MILITARY Dis
TRIoT, New ORLEANS, La, August 3, 1867.
Gen. U. S. Grant, Commanding Army
United States, Washington, d. C.-GEN-
ERAL: have the honor to submit for your
information the following:
That the State of Louisiana is registered
in accordance with the act Of Congress
dated March 2, 1867, and the bills supple
mentary thereto. The poll books are
nearly made out, and the Commissioners
of Elections in each polling precinct APP
pointed. The number of registered votes
will be slightly over one hundred and
twenty thousand. The State will, in all
probability, come in as a Union State.
In accomplishing this registration,
have had no opposition from the masses
of the people. On the contrary, much
assistance and encouragement; but from
the public press, and especially that of the
city Of New Orleans, and from Office hold
ers and Office seekers DISTINGUISHED, have
met with bitterness and opposition.
The greatest embarrassment with which
have had to contend was the constant
rumors Of removal, published nearly every
day in the papers of this city. 1t was a
serious embarrassment, as il was breaking
down the confidence Of the people in my
acts. But Notwithstanding this, we worked
patiently and industriously, having in
view only right and justice and the law in
its spirit
i have, as | have heretofore stated to
you, permitted no political influence or
political machinery TO help or influence
me in the work. Receiving the law as an
order, it was so executed.
/ regret that l have to make the charge
against Brigadier General L. II. Rousseau,
q. S. A., Of visiting my command recently,
aud without exhibiting any authority, in
teriering with my duties and suggesting
my removal
1 am, General, very respectfully, your
opedlent servant, z. II. SHERIDAN,
AFner.-| 4 -

THE Dublin (Ireland) FreemaR's Journal
says: "a prisoner of rank in the 'Fenian
revolutionary movements but who is a
native British subject, is stated to have
made some revelations of an important
character bearing on the revolutionary
movement throughout Europe, of which
the Fenian fdscO formed portion On
the End, it is stated, a Crown official had
two interviews with him in Kilmainham
prison. The prisoner, it is asserted, has
given such information as will compromise
very many persons of position, not only in
Ireland, but also in England, including
some of former high political importance.
The selfjustifcation of the alledged in
former for his treason is, that he was
abandoned to the dangers of his position
without legal help having been afforded
him by his former friends"
