ALMOST A DIFFICULTY IN CHEsTER.-Ne
are informed by persons who left Chester on
Tuesday, that the citizens of that quiet town
were thrown into state of some excitement the
night previous, in anticipation of difficulty with
the negroes Our informant states that u num-
Der of these people had assembled, under arms,
at one of the Union League rendezvous in the
town, and had placed armed scntinels to obstruct
certain thoroughfares. They were also firing Oft
guns and pistols in such manner as naturally to
alarm the citizens; and arrangements were began
with view of dispensing the unlawful assembly.
The white citizens armed themselves generally,
and proceeded to the place where the disturbance
was going on, when discretion prevailed and the
black mob dispersed without all actual ARRAY
