NEGRO 1NsoLENCE AT WYTHEvILLE.-
On Tuesday last the Western train to our
depot had on board a number of dis.
charged negro soldiers bound for their
homes, North. While the cars were in
waiting for breakfast, some three of these
negroes went into the Depot Hotel, in the
guests, and made themselves familiar by
washing their hands and faces. The gen.
tlemanly proprietor, Colonel Boyd, was
not in the room at the time, but soon made
his appearance, and requested them to
desist, as that was not the place for them
that the kitchen was for their use, and they
must leave that room. They left, uttering
threats-not, however, until one of them
was taken hold of. This created some
harsh words and threats towards Colonel
Boyd-even threatening to hang him
which, Of course, was not done.
Peter Gibson, our worthy barber, was at
the depot attending to some business,
whom he was pointed out to these negroes
as rebel negro, &C., when one of them
drew revolver and took aim at him. Pc
ter firmly believes he would have been
killed but for the timely interference of
friends.
Several of these negroes were heard to
say that when at home they had the privi-
lege of eating, drinking, and associating
with the whtes-eyen gallanting and mar
rying white ladies. This may be so in some
parts of the North, but it is not the case
here and God grant that it may never
happen. Such outrages are intolerable,
and shows our people the handwriting on
the wall WutheuiAe Dispatch.

NHC OHVhCh =" NHCHEys
From the London Times. Aupust Ia

TOM the LOnuon llmsb, August 10.
The most distressing news continues tc
be received in Malta of the spread Of
cholera in Sicily. The week ending Au.
gust shows total Of 6,612 cases and
1881 deaths, against 1855 cases and 3 ,33s
deaths in tho week before. In Palermo
and its suburbs the return of last week
was 30 cases and 10 deaths per diem. The
return for twenty -four hours in that dis
trict from the LIST to the I'd of August is
now 463 cases and 800 deaths. Messina is
still free, and only few cases are reported
at Syracuse. The disease appears to be
on the decline OF Catania. In the latter
town the dead were left to putrefy in the
houses, which had to be broken into by
the troops and gendarmes for the removal
of the fostering corpses.
a letter from Messina, received at Malta
on Tues day week. says: "The clericals do
their best to induce the lower classes to
believe, and with some degree of success,
that cholera is manufactured by the Co
vernment, and is spread by the carbineers
and other agents with the view Of dimi-
nishing the population, who were to have
revolted against the present rule. In Ca
tania, where the pestilence is committing
the greatest ravages, Of the persons at
tackled very few recover, as the belief is
general that the disease is propagated by
the doctors; and the dying even refuse
the sacrament, suspecting that even the
sacred water may be impregnated with
cholera. At Messina the public health is
excellent, in spite Of the excessive heat
which has prevailed for the last week."
