NEGRO KILLED IN BEDFOgD.-We learn
that negro named George Ferguson, living
on the lands Of Mr.. G.. G.. Saunders, In
Bedford county, was shot and killed on
Saturday last under the following circum-
stances. az detailed before an examining ma
eistrate Mr.. Saunders had loaned Fergu-
son o COW to winter for her milk, and on
the day Of the shooting he sent his nephew
and young man named Green Brown to
the negro for the coz. The negro refused
positively to give her up, and cursed and
abused the young men, and finally threat
ened if they didn't leave he would kill
them. Seeing their lives were in dan
ger, they left, and reported the facts
to Mr.. Saunders, and o son Of that
gentleman returned with the two young
men to the negro's cabin, determined
to take the COW. Upon arriving OF
the house Ferguson came out with q mus
kct, accompanied by his son, who was also
armed with 8 pistol, and threatened to
shoot the whole party, cooking his musket
and making ready to fire. A parley en-
sued. however, but the alteration was
almost Immediately renewed, and the ne
gro and Brown got into fight. The negro
threw his antagonist, anu oauSh. hinn W.
his teeth by the cheek; and while in this
position Brown drew his pistol and fired
two shots, causing the death of the negro IN
few moments. :,
Brown Immediately surrendered himself
to Justice Shrewsbury, a loyal magistrate
living near, and was tried and acquitted,
the evidence of Ferguson's wife and son
corroboratipg the statements of the white
men v no witnessed the shooting. Suisse
quently, we learn, the negroes obtained an
other warrant for the rearrest of Brown
from the carpet Dagger Curtiss, but he had
not been taken at last accounts. CUrtiss's
warrant, we learn, directed the accused tc
be broug ht before him, and not to be taken
before any other magistrate. Rather no.

The Nautical Borie.
Hs PULLS A HANDFUL OF FINE FEATHERS OFF
OF OUR FINE BIRDS.
LFrom the N. Y. Herald. ]

Some OF our cotemporaries are making
merry over the late General Order No. 80
OF the Navy Department. changing again
the insignia of rank throughout the Navy,
from Admiral down to Miishipman, froni
Captain to carpenter and sailmaker. But.
in truth, this matter, to those whom it
concerns, is by no means trivial. The uni
form question is Il leading one with al; men
whose duties compel them to wear a uni
form, from postmeIl to policemen, from
hremen to PRECURSORS, from militiameu to
volunteers. and so on to regular troops of
both army and navy. To sailors, soldiers,
aud civilians. we say. in camp, in court.
and Oh quarterback, the question of uni
form, and, above oil, that of insignia Of
rank, is one of constant discussions. .
Now, it so happens that the tendency in
these matters is toward proftse show. Of
ten in war times, when deeds are more
conspicuous than rank, there is a reyulsioD
toward simplicity in dress-the gorgeous
epaulette gives way to plain shoulder
strap, the cooked hat to the kepi-and a
General is sometimes caught ont on his
picket line in an old gray blouse, with
nothing external to distinguish HIM from
his men. But the ordinary tendency is the
other way-toward enormous swathes of
gold lace, especially in the Navy.
Secretary Borie's order is directed to-
ward simplicity. 1t is q good one, and
called for by the present array and display
of gold bands abont coat-cuifs. A. very
high Naval officers arm had got to looking
like a BARRIERS pole Tho matter, however,
is now simplifed. Formerly, also, it would
require much knowledge and narrow in
spection to determine whether an officer,
was of the staff or line; bnt now, howey-
er, the staff, as in the English Navy, are to
wear colored cloth between the strips of
gold lace around the sleeve-medical off,
Gers cobalt blue, paymasters white, and en-
gineers red. This order displays practi-
cal knowledge of the necessities of the ser
vice, and, with the exception of the chang
ed insignia of rank, it leaves the uniform
Of the Navy as before.

W A Virginia newspaper welcomes
General Early back to his home as a
patriot and valiant soldier. This does
not please the senior morning black
and tan newspaper in this city, and it
gives it's Virginia contemporary to I'M
derstand that Early was Whipped by
Sheridan. 81
There is no doubt that among the
confederate generals, there were forty
better ones than Early, but with some
eight or nine thousand half armed
half starved, half clad rebels, he man
aged to give Sheridan full employment
for nearly a year, although the latter
had magnificent army of forty thou
sand men. From this it may be inferr-
ed that, as a cat's-tail strategist, Sler-
idan was not an entire SUCCESS Chi
