YesterdarL Christmas lwag a dark,

Yesterday Christmas )was dark,
rainy and unpleasant day, but we be-
lieveit passed of, in all the essen
tial points, about as Christmas usu-
ally does in this community. The
yougsters tumbled out of bed very
early in the morning, and made for
the stockings they had hung up the
night before, to see how Santa Claus
had remembered them; the usual
number ofturkey dinners were stow
ed away, and perhaps a few more
than the usual number Of attendants
were found at the Mayors Court, in
consequence of differences of opin-
ion between them and the "powers
that be- as to the proper manner
of celebrating such anniversaries
The "gay and festive" young folks
''tripped the light, fantastic toe"
from evening till near the break Q
day, and then went home with tired
feet and headache-and we hope all
had a merry Christmas.

Ex-Gov. Isham G. Harris sailed from
Liverpool on the 9th inst, and after a
somewhat tedious but safe trip reached
this city at one o'clock on Sunday morn,
ing, oath, and left the same afternoon for
the present residence of his family in
Henry county. The announcement Of
his return, after an absence of several
most eventful years, viii be received
with unaffected qualification by thousands
Of the people Of Tennessee, whose conf
dence he enjoyed while in prosperity, and
whose sympathies were not withheld
from him in the day of his exile We
believe, too, that many Of those who have
been always politically opposed to him
will experience a genuine sense of satis-
faction at his return, and mark it as an
other evidence Of the gradual decay Of
the spirit of passion and hostility which
prevailed so strongly in the breasts Of
men during the war, and to an undue ex-
tent even since its close We did not
have the pleasure Of meeting and greet
ny Gov Harris. Bat we assume to say
that he returns to his native State and to
the people who have so often placed him
in their leadership, not to mingle in
public affairs, but 70 resume his position
as an American citizen, in the ranks Of
American society, and TO pursue his
vocation with diligence and quietude,
with malice towards none, and with a
sincere desire for the prosperity and
glory Of Tennessee and of the entire
country. His fortune shattered, but his
health good and physical constitution
still strong, he may yet retrieve the one,
and in the continuance of the others
present the splendid example of patri~
otto, intelligent, energetic and virtuous
citizen May he live long, peacefully
and prosperously. ss
During his brief stay in the city, he
called upon Gov. Brownlow at the capo
itol, and was received with every mark of
courtesy. The interview was short, and
had reference to no political topics, but
was confined to remarks upon the coun-
tries visited by the Ex-Governor and other
casual matters. Some reference having
been made to the possible arrest of Gov.
Harris, Gov. Brownlow observed that he
was in his care, and that he would be
responsible for him until the spring, or
words to that effect The manner of his
reception by Gov. Brownlow was emf
nently gratifying to his many friends in
this city.
To the immediate family and personal
friends of Gov Harris we offer our
hearty congratulations, and trust that
circumstances may never again enforce
separation 80 protracted and so dis
agreeable

A STARTLING EVENT.
Armed Negroes March into Columbus.
and Demand Hread-They are Dis
armed by United States Troops.


From the Memphis Avalanche, Nov g.
For some time a great deal of dissatis-
faction has existed among the freedmen in
the neighborhood of Columbus, Mississippi.
They had quit work, and left the fields
white with cotton, and would not pluck
boil, the reason given for such action being
that their share of the crop would not pay
their expenses for the year, owing to the
tax on the staple, and the low price to
which it had fallen. As soon as they re-
fused to work, as a matter of course, they
had to leave the plantations and give up
their houses to other laborers who would
work They then took to the woods, and
commenced a system of indiscriminate
pilfering and stock killing. About Two
hundred of them have been assembled in
the neighborhood of Columbus, Mississippi,
since the beginning of the election, and
had become a perfect nuisance and terror
to the neighborhood. At the request of the
citizens a company Of United States troops
had been stationed at Columbus for the
protection of the lives and property of ne
people. When this band of vagabondized
negroes had exhausted the country of every
thing which was stealable, they determined
to make a raid upon the town Of Columbus
in full force. They were all armed, and
procuring a fife and drum, they
marched into the town, demanding
bread. Not one of them asked for work
they did not want that Bread was all
their cry, and they were about commencing
an indiscrimiuate robbery, when the United
States troops appeard on the ground and
disarmed them first, and then dispersed
them. The ringleaders were taken into
custody. What a scene Of bloodshed and
robbery we would have had to relate, had
it not been for the fortunate presence of
the troops, we shudder to think Of This
is the first attempt at a bread riot which
has ever occurred in the South, bat how
long il viii be until they become common,
1t takes no far-seeing prophet TO tell. The
negroes all through the country are becom-
ing most thoroughly demoralized under the
teachings Of the Radical hyenss who couns
sci and incite them at every fence corner,
10 their own destruction. They now posi-
lively, in many localities, refuse to work
will make no contracts with the planters
inlly expecting the division of lands so
long promised them by their Radical lead
ers Bands Of from three to fifty are roam
ing through Mississippi in every direction,
terror and nuisance, not only to plant
ers, but TO the industrious of their own
color How long this state Of sfairs can
continue without scenes of riot and blood.
shed, depends entirely upon the forbeaTance
o. the white man. A spark may ignite
the train which will redden the horizon with
the blaze Of burning houses, and initiate
conflict between the races bloody aud re-
morseless.
