passengers, relative to tho late riot in Charles
ton Tho most prominent speaker was q gent
rom Augusta, who said he had onmo down to
charleston to SEQ tho base ball players on
Monday, and to have hand IN thrash ng tho

,a9hting tho Charleston peop @ abort their

was anticipated during the gamc OH Monday,
ehpecting that the negroes would croate q
