Trouble in Chattanooga.

Kirby Of the Chattanooga Times, seems al
most frightened out Of his boats at the "riotous"
conduct Of about thirty colorcd men. who go
''prowling around, frightening the people out
their wits, being armed with shot guns, pistols
knives, clubs, bilets Of wood, &c, stirring up
thunder generally. If nothing else can be done
to insure the safety Of that seaport, we would
suggest that these "lcwd fellows of the baser
sort, be turned over to the e1-Major Of the
Times, whose crpcricac> might prove valuable.
