NEGRO TROUBLES.

. NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-A special from Char
lotte County, Va, says: Along and through
out all the Counties named below a reign of
terror prevails. The freedmen have become
desperate awaiting the distribution of farms,
and now seek revenge by house burning, C title
stealing and other outrages. The Counties of
Amelia, Nottaway, Prince Edward, Lunen-
burg, Halifax, Mecklenberg and Pittsylvania
are deluged with such outrages Murder, ar
son and incendiarism are of nightly occur
renee and war of races seems inevitable.
The civil authorities are powerless to protect,
and military posts are so remote that the
whites have determined to defend themselves
in different ways as their defence may be, but
the resolution is death before negro suprema-
cy. The forty acres and two mules, promised
the negroes at Christmas not being forthcom-
ing, has caused this terrible state OF affairs.
