} uaent he received from the hands OF
, " Gov" Ciayt0n's loyal, honest, Chris
ti8n troops:
i MIR. Andrews started in September
! from White Sulphur Springs, aceompa-
MED by his wife and servant, intending
= 70 make his wey homeward overland,
q and 90 take the trip Ieisurely, hunt
4 ing end fishing IS they went. He met
Tioh no interruption until he reached
The TyrOngee lately, where he met q
e party Of n militia. One Of them en-
y gsged him in conversation, and In an
I unguard5d moment another knocked
him seRselsss, and before aid or succOr
: could be given, they robbed him of
f; everything valuable on his peEson-Sl60
. or so.
When near the Bradley farm, en-
Z csmped, an officer OF the militia, accom-
panied by about q dozen negroes, rode
up TO Dir. Andrews and questioned him
about his intentions-There be mad
been, whittier going, etc.-and receiving
satisfactory replies, the "Officer" and
his party rode eff.
la less than an hour, however, two of
the negroes returned, and demanded
Ole money. He replied that be had
none, having already besn robbed
or eli he LAD by the militia. The
Villains then drew their pistols and pre-.
scented them cooked al the head of Mrs.
Andrews, and cursing her for everything
they could think of, demanded money
Of her. Being uuaTmed or rather un-
prepared, they were compelled to sue
cumb, and accede q second time to the
demands OF the loyal gentlemen" of
whom the Post, Clayton and that ilk are
90 proud.
Mrs. Andrews gave them fifty dollars
and they left. While the robbery was
being pe~Fpetrated, MIR. Andrews informs
US that he could see the main squad in
the distance, and as soon as these two
left his CAMP they joined the others and
all went of together. Mr.. Andrews is
quite sue be Can identity these negroes.

plants before Clayton. II the opera

Eeyer YES there more beautiful wealth

'chafing with her Shores" sff0Tding IN

0Uats, aidICg commerce, agriculture and
every material interest. Our heaviest
trsnsacllops are with Memphis, and as a

leans 70 be shipped and sold in Memphis.
You ave only &c SECURE the completion
OF the railroad TO this place to sse every
branch Of business in Memphis benefited
thereby. Not Only in heavy transac-
ticns, BIT u retail sales, your merchants

the purchase OF 3 euit OF - siop-shop.n
