ty.

person and property suppress insur-
rection, and punish disturbers of the

ton TO a charter that is being asked for,
and is now before the Legislature, having
for its objects not only the education, as far
as letters may be, but the moral advance
mant and usefulness of that class who are
non for the first time merging into a po-
litical existence, the freedmen? How inn
portant such an Institution IA is sought by
this charter may become, in the develop
ment, mental and moral, of this people, the
advancement they may make in agriculture
and manufacture, can only be surmlsed
Yet what greater field of positive useful
ness can the philanthrophist ask for? That
there position is a changed and new one
all now admit Political rights have been
conferred recognizing this change. Is 1t moi
then but Just, as well as for the best inter
ests of our country, that fitness for their new
state be early taught them, by making In

OT7TRAgF ny SoLDIERs.-A colored man
named Douglas Ewing, who keeps small
grocery store in Rocktown, in the neighbor-
hood Of Fort Negley, made complaint to
the Bureau authorities yesterday in regard
to the depredations of a squad of soldiers
on Saturday night last--Sundsy morning
rather. About three o'clock in the morn
ing, four or FIVE soldiers, accompanied 10y
as many prostitutes living in that locality,
called at the store, and demanded admit
lance. Ewing got up, and taking peep
through a crevice, saw the style of custom
ers who were outside, and at once deter
mined not 10 admit them. He promptly
commenced a parley, suggested the unsea-
sonable hour il was to make a call, and
| asked TO be excused from admitting his
/ visitors The outsiders wouldn't hear OF
any excuse; they came 10 get into the store
and wouldn't leave until they were admit
| ted, and to show they were in earnest, cora
menced pounding the door. The lord OF
/ the castle again appealed 10 them to desist
| reminded them that he had a sick wife in
! side, told them he had been himself in the
army as one Of the boys in blue, and ST last
wound up by stating in unmistakable terms
| that il matters went TO the worst, he had Q
good douhle-barrelled shot gun, and would
use il IL necessary in defending his stor,
from invasion The williams then gathere,
a lot Of rocks, and pelted them in through
the windows, and at the door, endeavorini
TO break il in. Fearing the contents Of th'
/ shot gun, they at last desisted, and took &
/ their heels.
It's sincerely to be hoped that the mill
iary Authorities will see that these kind 3
/ outrages are not repeated.
