with their wives went out sailing on the bay

determined upon having a bath. The gen.

that it was missing, together with their

NEGRO RIOT AT SHREVEPORT. =
THREE CITIZENS KILLED. TWENTY
NEGROES KILLED AND WOUNDED. On
Wednesday last. serious difficulty
occurred on the Texas road, n short
distance from the town of Shreve-
port, resulting in the death of three
white men and nineteen negroes.
The following facts we have gathered
from various persons, who have ar
rived here since last Saturday night:
A driver of n wagon, being intoxi-
Gated, fred his revolver in the air,
and immediately afterwards was
seized by q party of negroes, who
happened to be in the Immediate
vicinity, and carried to grove near
by, where he was bound with ropes
to tree. Upon the suggestion of a
few clear-headed negroes of the
party, in few minutes the man was
released. At this moment O few
negroes from an adjoining plantation
came up, and, without word of pro
vocation, fired upon and killed Mr.
James Brownlee and Messrs. Ogden
and Thompson, citizens of Caddo
Parish. Upon hearing Of this state
of affairs, the citizens Of Shreveport
turned out en- 0saSse and proceeded to
the scene of the outrage. About
nineteen negroes, supposed to have
been ringleaders in the affair, were
killed, having first, from their quar-
ters, fred upon the citizens as they
came down the road. When the
steamer Right Way left Shreveport,
last Thursday, everything was quiet.

The following is published by di.
rection Of the Department OF State:
UNITED STATES CONSULATE,
{ VALPARAISO, September 3, 1868.
Hon. William III! Se,Dd1,d, Secretary O,
State. 81
SIR: I have the honor to enclose to
you slips cut from the newspapers OF
this city, giving detailed account oi
the disaster caused by the terrible
earthquake on the coast on the 18th
of August. extending from the Chin
cha Islands, in the North, to Lota,
in the South-a distance of more
than 1000 n,;les-and extending far
into the interior in Peru, almost en-
tirely destroying the city of Arequi-
pa, of 10000 inhabitants. Singu-
larly and fortunately no damage was
done at this port, the only thing OBJ
servable being heavy swell of some
ten feet rolling into the bay just of
sunset.
Several places ON the coast South
of Valparaiso have been entirely
swept away-not q stone left upon
another to mark the spot where they
stood.
So soon as the disasters at the
North were made known here by tele-
graph, apublic meeting was convened
and the sum of $4,000 subscribed
to purchase and forward provisions to
the destitute. Large contributions
in clothing were also made. Con
gress. being in session, appropriated
500, 900 for tho same object. Being
at Santiago, at the time, I rendered
the Government the use of the
United States steamer Tuscarora,
then in the harbor, to transport these
contributions to the distressed, which
was gladly accepted; but, subse-
quently, it was found that other YES
sells were at hand better adapted to
the service, and the Tuscarora was
not used.
This terrible and widespread dis
aster has cast deep gloom over
everybody, and business for the time
is entirely suspended, save in the
effort to relieve the unfortunate.
The business houses of this city,
having generally branches or agen-
cies at the several ports destroyed,
suffer largely. A large number OF
vessels in the merchant service have
been lost. Nearly all the towns on
the coast North are supplied with
fresh water from the interior by dis
tillation, and as ali of the apparatus
for distillation has been swept away
at all the ports, great suffering must
have been experienced before aid
could reach them. L have the honor
to be, your obodient servant.

United States Consul.

"ANoTHEB REBEL OUTRAGE. An
official report of the late disturbance
in Opelousa, La, states that two
whites and five negroes we're killed,
few being wounded. The whole
trouble is attributed to the indigna-
tion Of the negroes at m assault, by
three men, on the white editor OF a
radical newspaper, who had pub
lished offensive articles. The editor,
Bentley, was caned, and the planta-
tion negroes at once. armed them
selves, in large bodies, and proceed
ed to Opelousa, where they refused
to disperse, and fight ensued, with
the fatal results above stated. The
negroes had to be overpowered by
the civil authorities. OF course this
is set down by the radicals as another
rebel outrage.

Mr.. EDITOR: I notice in your issue
of yesterday, an advertisement of a
grand concert, by Master Ferdinand
Carri, and others. This promises to
be the richest musical treat of the
season. Master Carri's performance
upon that most difficult of all instru-
ments, the violin, is truly wonderful.
He is now only thirteen years of age;
IS so very small asiscarcely to be able
to hold his violin, and yet his brilliant
e1ecutionand exquisite expression is
the admiration of all who have heard
him. The most difficult movements
upon the violin--the staccato, pizzi-
cato and harmonics-he executes
with a. grace and finish astonishing
for a child of his age. He will be as
sisted by competent musicians, and
will, I am sure, give concert which
will please all who admire the higher
order Of music. AMATEUR.

a RECORD Coop TO LooK, UPoN. =
The Cincinnati Enquirer says: "The
Democratic party was in power dur
ing the most prosperous years the
country has ever known. The honor
and credit of the Government were
maintained and upheld at home and
abroad. By its broad liberal policy
immigrants were encouraged to make
this country their home, and become
its citizens. State after State was
added to the republic. Prosperity
and freedom went hand in hand
under the shield of constitutional
liberty. American pre-eminence
among the eldest and greatest ma
tions of the world. No Federal tax
gatherer was seen among the people.
No bastile darkened the face of the
land. No military satraps were set up
superior to the civil power. The
Union was preserved by forbearance
and kindness and compromise. The
General Government was felt only in
the blessings it conferred upon the
people. And yet we are told that
the Democratic party is the enemy of
the country, and should not be trust
ed with the administration.

How TO TELL A STRANGER IN New

tell stranger from citizen, watch
him when he attempts to cross Broad

street, but with strangers it is differ
ent. When you see man standing
on the curb-stone, gazing frantically
up and down the great thoroughfare
until he sees az opening, and then
dashing through it as if sheriff was

mind he comes from "furrin parts. +"
