luton Of the affair by the extcrmina-
ton Of the black scoundrels. But such
expectation viii not he realized, rs our
latest reports received by telegraph
yesterday morning Indicated that
peace regns again along the Rio
Gnndc. For the information Of those
not acquainted with the cause Of the
riot, we viii state the facts ~ far ~ we
have been able to CLEAN lhom from our
Southern exchanges, 1t appears that
one of the private negro soldiers adj
dressed letter to II respectable lady OF
san Antonio, containing n proposition
which Is always namoless.
This letter the lady gaveto her father,
who awaited himself Of the first oppor-
tunlty that offered 10 cowhide tho mis-
erablo wretch, which he did In capital
STYLE On his return to camp the news
of his castigation by rebel was
promptly communicated to his negro

cnragcd, and in Il body decided to sack
tho city. General Anger succeeded IN
getting tlNIl>out Of the town, after
they had entered II with their hell

cee,lod to the city and, warning the IN

to prepare for their defense, which was
promptly acted upon, cvoey man be

do not wake up from their long sleep,

EXPOSURE.

The enterprise Of the New York
Herald knows no bounds. Its last
dodge was to expose the swindles per-
petrated In Philadelphia, by the seers,
elairvoyants and spiritual ""n'n'uhica-
eors of that city. Its special detective
discovered TINT these places arepracti-
cal frauds, sustained for lascivious men,
for the purpose Of decoyihg and cap
turing unsophisticated and msuspect-
ing girls, upon whom they bring dis
grace, and then abandon them. The
whole system was thoroughly exposed,
and the authorities placed in possession
OF such facts as warranted the arrest OF
the parties implicated in this inhumat,
and unholy work. We commend this
sort Of enterprise, and hope its just
fruits may ripen into higher order OF
morality in the city of brotherly love.

fuses To deliver them over to defender

that this action on the part of the Gov

are State prisoners and can only be re.
