Negro " Peace HEakers.,,

The Montgomery Mail gives the follow
ing account Of scene in its city on We'd
nesday, when reports were rife Of Demon
STATIONS Of hostility by the negroes at
Tuskegee:
Yesterday morning several gentlemen Of
this city, among them Gen. j. III. ClantOn
and MIR. A. f. Henderson, of tho Mail,
who have relatives in Macon, took the
train at a. m. Before reaching the de-
pot it was discovered that a company of
United States troops were proceeding to
the scene Of alarm. As Gen. Canton was
being driven over to the train, he over
took the negro militia company of this
city, marching to the cars, armed and
equipped. Acting upon his usual impulse,
and regardless OF personal danger, the
General headed the company off, and is re-
ported to have drawn his pistol. planted
himself upon the foot bridge which
crosses the Eufaula road, and halted
the negroes. He demanded to know
by what authority they were taking it
upon themselves to take the law in their
own hands. Tie said that white men were
able to settle the difficulties in Macon
county. 1t is rum0rCd that several guns
were cooked at the General whilo he was
hating BARRIERS pet lambs, but most of
the militia" sneaked off, It is said that
Sheriff Barber, of Montgomery county,
who appeared to lead the negroes, had the
audacity to order them to arrest the Gen
eraI. The order of course was not obeyed.
Prominent among those negroes who
remained, and who seemed disposed to
force passage, was the negro Jenkins,
who figured last year as a Conservative
orator.
Just at this moment Gov. Smith, WHO
had gone over to take the train, came mp,
and Gen. Clanton demanded to know of
him whether the negro militia were being
sent to Macon at his instigation or by his
order. The Governor denied that they
we're acting under his orders. Sheriff
Barber then ordered tho negroes to dis

GEORGE ". Lowry, a prominent and
influential Radical politician in Ohio, has
come out from that "foul party and
joined the Democracy. In doing SO he
prefers the following charges against the
Radicals: They mean to destroy the
sovereignty of the States, and TO centralize
the power of the government. They mean
to force upon white men political and
social equality with the negro race. They
are sustaining a swarm OF useless govern
ment loafers called officers, who live, of
course, on the sweat and toii of the labor
ing producer. They protect monopolies
at the expense and without the consent OF
the public, and they levy and uphold IN
equal taxation, which tends to establish a
moneyed and landed aristocraey, such as
exists in all the monarehikl governments. ~

Governor HOLDEN and his incompetent

sible for the lawlessness that does exist IN
North Carolina. His exaggeratlons OF

The FOREST AFTER THE FIRE-Not long
ago the forest around Thunder Bay, Lake Su-
perior, was destroyed by fire for great dis
tance. A letter to the Toronto Globe. from
It's correspondent with the Red River expedi.
ton, gives description of the burnt district
as it now appears:
Inc change or appearance on either side of
the road was so marked that, with The excep-
t,oh OF ABOUT tour miles, l failed to recognize
the country through which L passed. The
great aforementioned in a former letter-had
swept the country round about almost clear
of green growth. The forests of pine that
lined the road for mile after mile stretching
away as far as the eye could see, were gone:
but among the charred logs, and around the
sapless trunks new growth had sprung up.
and advancing summer had opened buds. nm
folded leaves and covered the dark, dismal
tracts OF dead wood with waving, many COL
ored leaves. Burnt grass and withered twigs
had been replaced by acres of blossoming
strawberry plants, thick clusters of wild roses
and variegated heaths. In some places the
fire had passed tree or a cump OF trees
without harming them, while burning and
destroying everything around, and now these
generally beech trees-were one mass of
bright, light green leaves inteilaced with the
silver boughs from which they grew.
1t was very curious to note the freaks Of
OF the fire, aud impossible to account for the
way in which it crossed certain trees as II
they had been marked like the iutels of the
Israelitish doors. Sometimes tract of sew
eral acres would appear round which the fire
had burnt an area like that OF a bended bow.
ard there were clumps of trees in which one
or perhaps two had totally escaped, while
others, black for thirty feet from the cronnd
were one mass of green leaves at tho Ton
Here and there were places as drear and des-
olate as ii the sun had ceased to shine upon
them, the charred stumps still covering the
land, and rising in grotesque, fantastic forms
IKE distorted spectres, giving the place the
appearance OF a haunted curse stricken land I;
puS the greater part OF the road had under
gone such pleasant change that it seemed
as II the curse had been removed and bless
ing sent in its stead.

Island Sound steamers tells the following
stary ---
Almost every trip during the years Ca and
'65, we had aboard the steamer one or more
bodies OF soldiers who had died at the South.
their friends having sent for their remains.
These bodies invariably came in a peculiar
shaped box, which did not in the least resem-
BILE coffin, being longer and of greater uni
form width. One very warm day, think In
the month of August, '65, the steamer was
late into New York, consequently stacks of
freight had accumulated on the docks, and
the boys were working like beavers to Get it
aboard, when they noticed one of these boxes
standing upright on one end, having been
left in that position by some inhuman car
man. The sailors instantly reported the po-
sition in which they had found the box to
the mate, Mr.. Ockershausen, who was lust
ly indignant at the barbarous manner in
which the body had been lett, but there was
no remedy-the injury and insult TO the dead
had already been perpetrated. Ockerhausen
then ordered the crew to carry the box care
fully aboard the boat to the place reserved
for such purposes, but the men hesitated
about touching it, as it smelt so, and not un-
| til Ockerhausen had repeated his command
| in The polite manner usual with mates of
steamers did they obey the order. Ockerbal-
sen then went to the captain and told him
now lnnumanly tne corpse had been treated
what shame ii was, &c, and wound I'D by
saying that, as the body had been treated SO
shamefully, he would like to make amends as
far as he could, and to that end he
would like to obtain permission to deco
rate the box with the boats colors -
The captain, OF course, assented then Ocker-
hansen spent the remainder OF the day in dec
Grating. First, he carefully covered the box
with the steamers colors lthen he festooned
the American flag around it with such good
taste as to attract the attention of the pas
sengers; and, as if it were his own son, he
watched over it on the passage all night. The
| next morning passenger called at the cap
tain's office on the steamer and informed the
clerk that he was intending TO 60 ashore at
| the next landing, and, in order to avoid delay
at the wharf, be would like to pay the bill OF
some freight he had on board Immediately.
| The clerk looked over the freight bills, but
could not find one made out 10 the passen-
gers name, and so informed the gentleman,
and stated that probably his freight was not
aboard the toat.
"Oh, yes," said he, dit is aboard I Just saw
| it on the forward deck, all wrapped up in flags
| and things"
| sob, you mean the body of that poor sol
| dier?"
| "What are you talking about9 That amt a
dead soldier; it's a box containing bathing
| tub for my new house"
