Bolts Instrucfs General SchOheid-
lie IL Badly Smubbed.

RICHMOND, March 22.-When General
Schoiield had issued his General Order
No. assuming the command OF this dis
trict he was called upon by that erratic
individual John Minor Bolts, who was then
in this city, and who, in lengthy TRADE
against all parties, classes, and scots differ
ing in views with himself, undertook to
instruct that officer in the course he should
pur,ue and the manner in which he should
apply his new powers TO certain parties.
In this unasked-tor advice Bolts never
once afforded an opportunity TO be told, or
for a moment thought, he was intrudlng
upon an officer who because OF his ability
t0administer Justice and effectively enforce
the law was appointed here. The General
listened calmly to the raving fthis egotistl-
cal, inconsistent political agitator, cycling
him attentiyely all the time, but without
even vOuchsaiing him a reply, not even
nod When that person had exhausted
himself, he suddenly found his presence
was not at all acceptable; he commenced
TO feel decidedly uncomfortable saw he
had overstepped his mark by long shot,
and taking his leave, sneaked ont like a
badly snubbed man, which Bolts was.
After he had gone, the General, who was
quietly smoking cigar, turned to one OF
his officers present and remarked: Ii
Sherman was here, that man would have
been sent 10 prison." This is stated on
good authority, and is an evidence that
General Schofield intends to discharge his
duty faithfully and impartially, without
any regard whatever to politicians OF any
order

GOVERNMENT ADVERTISING N THE
SOUTH-A misunderstanding Seward
has officially acknowledged the receipt of
an order from Mr.. Mcpherson, Clerk of
the House, designating the newspapers in
the South to which the Government adver-
tising shall hereafter be given but it is
understood that he will refuse to furnish
copies of the laws to them, as required by
the act of the Thirty ninth Congress. He
claims that he has already made contracts
with the legal number of papers for the
ensuing year, and cannot abrogate them.
Parties interested claim that no contracts
have been made, but that the publishers of
the papers selected by Secretary Seward
should be considered and treated as if
they held Government appointments,
which, by the terms Of the law referred to,
are revoked.-Ne,o York Times.

New ORLEANS, March l9.-The senti-
ment of the Louisiana public is being
rapidly revolutionized. A month ago the
press and people were defiant-they would
never accept the infamous Sherman bill
should it pass. To-day, with martial law
staring them in the face, they talk differ
emily and write differently. eve must
accept it," they say. off we do not, Con-
gress will impose worse terms-perhaps
confiscation." A month ago no true south
erner could honorably exercise the fran
chise privilege and see those he had raised
to office disfranchised. To-day the people
call upon their leaders to sacrifice them
selves pro bono publico.
A month ago they 'swore by the Eternal
God that they would never vote beside the
niger; to-day they discover that the
"nigger is king; that to the South he Is
a tower of strength that they can take
the darkey to their bosom and make him
vote as they desire. To enfranchise their
old slaves, they now admit, is their only
hope. They count upon the woolly heads
to roll up Democratic majorities from the
South that will swamp the Radical power
in Congress and enable the Democratic
majority to repeal at an early day all the
obnoxious laws recently passed by the
congressional majority. Whether their
hopes will be realized remains to be seen.
Certain it is, Louisiana is subdued. She
will enfranchise the negro, and get back
to the Union as quickly as Providence and
Congress will permit. The people are
alarmed they see that action is necessary
immediate action. Longstreet is out in a
letter calling upon the people to accept
the bill. He declares it is no dishonor for
the conquered to yield to the terms offered
by the conqueror. Sensible fellow he is,
though under the law he is disfranchised.
All the prominent Confederate officers ex-
press similar sentiments; so do leading
civilians,

AFFRAY.-Considerab excitement was
created in our town, Friday last, by rem
contre which took place on Main street
in front of the storehouse of j. NJ. Walker,
Esq. About noon, Major W. T. Sutherlin
was coming out Of that store, when he was
assaulted by Mr.. E. M. Pace, who struck
him several blows with his fist and with a
rawhide, knocking him down on the pave
ment. Sutherln recovered his feet and
aimed to strike Pace in reply to his blows,
but Just then Mr.. VIM. M. Mosely stepped
in between them, and the parties were sepa-
rated. Alderman Boisseau was sent for,
and he recognized both of them to appear
before the Mayor at 10 o'clock Saturday
morning.
In the afternoon both parties made their
appearance on the street, probably armed
for rcncontre of different kind, and
the appearances were sufficient to induce
the Mayor to arrest them and bind them
over to keep the peace. On Saturday the
case was investigated before his Honor,
when Pace was fined to the extent of the
law and the case dismissed.-DanviHe Re

THROUGH THE HEART, AND Ours HIS HEAD
OFF WITH AN AxE.-Portland, March 25.-
George Rolfe, an inofiensive man, aged
thirty-five years, was murdered on Sunday
morning in the Williams House, in Fall
mouth, by Eben Williams, aged twenty
one years, who shot him through the heart
with rife, and then cut off his head with
an axe. Williams is an imbecile, under
guardianship, but being supposed harm
less, was allowed to occupy the house with
Rolfe, who was pauper, as his servant.

he had done. The body was found laid out
as if for burial, and the head in pail of
water.
