aeneral Lee md the Old Soldier.
One of General Lees family tells OF a
most touching incident that occurred
between the General and an old soldier,
soon after the surrender. 1t is as fol-
lows:
An old man, tall, rough and ragged,
but a true hearted Virginian, from the
mountains, called at the residence of
the General, and speaking low, emphat-
ically and mysteriously, said: Gin
raj, have come down here to take you
and your wife and darter up TO our
place in the mountains-the Yankees
has cotched President Davis, and they'll
be sarter you sure--they hates you,
Ginral, kase you licked them SO. /
hain't got no piggers to wait on you,
but me- and the old woman will do IT."
and, lowering his voice to whisper, he
continued, "Ginral, there's places up
thar where you can hide, and nary fau-
kee can find ye." But" said the Cen
eral, "you surely would not have me,
your General, hide away from the Yam
keesf" "But, Ginral, faint no fair
uRuG now. 1uel IL suOoh UP
knOwnst, and if they cOtch you, they'll
hang you sure.
The General satisfied the old fellow
that there was no danger of his hanging,
and said looking pitiiully ut tine stock
ingless feet and tattered clothes, Wait,
my kind friend, while 60 up stairs"
He went up aud returned with pack
age, which ne gave 70 the old man, say
ing, "Some kind Baltimore ladies have
sent me some nice clothing-more than
need. have put up part OF 1T here
for you. Will you accept and wear II
for the sake of your old commander and
iriondp The Old man held the pack
age at arms length for moment or two
then pressing it 10 his bosom, aud fold
ing his arms over it, he held 1t there

Negroes Take Possession Of the Mobile
street Cars.
The Mobile Register OF Aug. l, edited by John
Forsyth, the notorious secesslonist, has the fol-
lowing:-
Yesterday evening about o'clock, large
crowd of negroes, numbering about tour hum
dred, stopped Davis avenue car near Gle Velaud
street, and as many as could crowded III, and
directed the driver to go on; this he refused TO
do and put down his brakes. The crowd out
side then by main force showed the car along for
some distance, but I'm ally desIsted and those
inside got out. AT this jaDcture wnlte police
man, a dirty scalaw wag, whose name we have as
yet been unable to learn, directed the negroes
TO re enter the Car, which they did, and tLen
ordered the driver to proceec. The driver again
refused, when the policeman attempted to take
the reins out OF his hands, but was very soon
compelled TO desist by having revolver pointed
at his head The negroes, 6ndlng that they
were unable to take ride, lifted The car up,
and placed 1t across the track. A squad OF
policemen arrived upon the ground, and the
crowd dispersed. Only one arrest was made,
that OF a white man for abusing the police.
Soon after an attempt was made by dve or
six negroes to get aboard Car on the Dauphln
Street road, opposite BenVile square, but they
were deferred IRON carrying out the r purpose by
the prompt action OF apassenger who DIRE a re.
VolVer and threatened to use IT II they entered
the car. At this time serious disturb ince
seemed imminent, but was prevented by the
arrival of squad of police men, who arrested
five OF the riotous negroes.
The negroes now seemed to be very much
excited. and assembled IN strong Iorce on the
tne of the various street railroads. The cou-
duet of the negroes was now beginning to be 30
outrageous, they threatening vlO.ence, that q
serious difficulty would undoubtedly have en-
sued had it not been for the prompt action oI
Mayor Price, who gave orders that the street
cars should be run, and enforced his order by
statioDing number OF policemen upon every
car, who prevented the negroes from entering
The entire police force were immediately placed
on duty.
The negroes engaged in the disturbance were
composed of the faction headed by the white
villain, Myers, and tue negroes Lankiord Ale x
ander and Joshua Davis, who, on the 4th oil
july, caused a split in the radical party, aud the
disturbance at the scalawag barbecue at Wilkin.
