Brevet Major General Carlin, Assistan
Commissioner for Freedmen's Affairs in Ten
nessee, has forwarded to General Howard q
report en- the afIray which occurred al
Franklin on the 9th inst, between the col.
ored Loyal League on the one part, and a
party Of conservatives, composed principally
of ex-rebel soldiers and negroes.
He finds that a white man among the ex-
rebels deliberately stepped out from the
crowd and fred at the procession Of colored
men, and many testified that a volley was
Immediately fired at the negroes, while
Others say the armed men q, negroes
fired the first volley. The E..-s Of the col
ored League was very deliberate and accur-
ate, as nearly as many conservatives were
killed or wounded as there we're arms in the
hands Of the colorcd men, and it was evident
that none Of the arms were reloaded and fred
a second time. Ii is worthy Of remark that
the twenty-sevcn colored men whose wounds
were dressed were all wounded in the back.
or IN the back par. Of the limbs, showing
clearly, Gen. Carlin says, that they were fired
upon from the rear and flank by the conser-
yatye party while marching in procession,
or after they bad broken ranks, and were
running away from the conservative mob
There was nothing m the conduct of the
League, or anH member Of it, 90 justify this
murderous assault on it, and that the a.
sault was premeditated, Gen. CarlIn consid-
ers evident.
The acting Mayor Of ihe city was well
aware that conflict was isaminent-in fact
be stated he knew it would take place-but
made no efforts to suppress the outbreak
There was no police in town; no Indication
whatever Of the Presence Of a civil govern
ment it seemed as if the town had been
willingly given up to the mob.
Now however. GENERAL Carliu says. the
people Of Franklin are apparently very sorry
the affray occurred, ard tina, /, l. perfectly
safe to leave the whole matter to the action
of the Circuit Court, believing that the
Judge and District Attorney will Do all that
,hculd be done to bring the guilty TO justice.

THE ELDOHA RAILROAD,
Contract for Building IL Lct-to be Fin
isllcd in NoVtmbsr-t OHl at our
Dora .cxt winter.

We are happy to chronicle the com
pleted arrangements for a new railroad,
which is sreadiiy to supply all this
region with the fuel we need. from
the coal.field OF the Iowa River
Valley, only forty miles from here.
We gather from The Dubuque Times.
by the generosity of the citizens of
E!dora and Steamboat Rock, they were
presented with some 500 acres OF the
best coal land, and they will now pro-
cecd to develope them by building a
railroad down the valley as fast as men
and money can DO the work.
The contract for building the road
was let Saturday. to Mcssrs. Doves 4
Co., who Luit the most of the Me
Gregor Western r.. r.. and are now
grading The railroad from Cedar Rapids
To Vinton.
By the terms of the contract, the road
Is to be fully completed on or before
the fifteenth Of next Novemb Der; and as
the company are to have their mines
in working order by that time, we may
reasonably expect to see Dubuque and
the towns along the different lines of
RAILROAD west receive their supply of
coai for the next winter from Eidora.
The road an now projected will start
from some point near Ackl-y, on the
ID. Il :. &. II. II. 80 miles west from
Cedar Falls, and will run down the
valley parallel with, and east of, that
river till il strikes Steamboat Rock,
ten miles distant, where .t vii! cross
the Iowa and follow down on the west
side To Eidora.
Steamboat Rock contains We think
100 or 500 inhabitants, an,i E!dora, the
county seat of Hardin County and
terminus of the road, some ten or
twelve hundred. They must now be-
come important towns.

A Correction.

l-DliOh pAGEliE -
DEAR R:-Concerning my article
of last week in regard to the expenses
of the Home, l wish to say, that the
figures from which made my calcutta
tion, were furnished me as a correct
abstract of the book during the wear in
question. That exhibit proves to be in
correct, as the last month was entirely
left out of one set of figures; which
very materially changes the result.
Having since seen the books, am well
persuaded that the expenses during the
time referred to, considerably exceed
the State appropriation, instead of run
ming below, as therein stated.
This statement feel is but justice to
the interests of the Home, as well as
due to myself. *.

Tit for 7at.-We happen to know of
a good story, which we never saw in
print, concerning an occurrence that
took place at Chicago, during the mania
for land speculation in the West, when
the charge for good hotel dinner was
two dollars. a pedestrian entered a
hotel for the purpose of resting. and
passed through the dining room on his
way to the office. After sitting awhile,
he got up to go, when the landlord de-
manded of him fifty cents. ~ have
had nothing" replied the traveller.
" But" said the landlord, "you smedcd
Of good dinner while passing
through the dining ROOM"
The claim being contested, the trav-
clei consented to go before justice of
the peace. He, after patiently hearing
the case, decided the claim to he per.
fectly just; and required the pedestrian
to compensate the landlord, 10y ,jingiing
two quarters in his ears, until he be-
came satisfied. IT.
