The Story OF Home, Sweet
Home,

A new story is told of the first
time Home Sweet Home was
sung in public. When the
government attempted to ha1-
monize the contending factions
in the dispute on the Georgia.
Tennessee boundry line, by
establishing trading post there,
John Howard Payne was accused
of melting the dissatisfied
Indians and half-breeds and was
arrested and carried to the
council>house.
An Indian who mitted
suicide OH the grave of his wife
and child was buried in the
presence of number of men,
amcng whom was Payne. AS
the body of the Indian was
lowered into the grave. Payne
humlned TO himself the song
that has become so famous.
General Bishop called the
young man to him and said
sternly:
"Where did you learn that
song?"
II wrote it myself" answered
Payne.
"Where did you get the tuner
81 composed that also
"Will you give me a copy of
it?"
"Certainly."
"Well," said the old Indian
fighter, appearance may be
against you, but man who can
write a song like that is no in
cendiary, and I'm going to set
you free"
Payne had been living in the
house of a neighboring family
and on his return he related the
circumstance, and showed the
pass that Geneaal Bishop hao
given him. That was the frs
time that Home, Sweet Home
was ever heard in public.

Joint Peace Commissioners met
promptly at o'clock. The
Spanish commissioners imned
lately announced the acceptance
of the American demand. Tie
two commissions were in separ
ate session all the morning.
There is no denying that the
VIII ole European continent will
bitterly resent the American
acquisition of the Philippines.
This sentiment is not confined
to diplomats, but here in Paris
that opinion is constantly ex-
pressed in the highest French
society.
Paris, November 2S.-The
Spanish acceptance was made
verbally, and the written &C,
ceptance will be presented later.
The Spanish Commissioners, it
is said, were authorized by the
Government to reply that the
American propositions are in
admissible. on legal principles,
but on the Spanish part all
diplomatic resources have been
exhausted, and the Spanish
Commission are now asked to
accept or reject the propositions
Spain, inspired by reasons of
patriotism and humanity, and to
avoid the horrors of war, resigns
herself to the power of the vic
tor. She accepts the offered con-
ditions in order 10 conclude a
treaty of peace.
Paris, November 2S.-The
American demands included the
acquisition of the Philippines
and the Sulu group for $4,000,

ica will purchase the Caroline
group.-The question Of the
debt of Cuba is left unsettled
until the next meeting on We'd

The German Charge d'Afairs
spent an hour with Secretary
Hay early this morning. There
is great reticence. 1t is believed
that the visit related to Ger

To Wreak Vengeance on

Special from Macon, Ca,
says: The people of this city are
greatly incensed at the Infamous
conduct of the negro troops
here. The results of their mutiny
would have been terribly bar
ba1ous had it not been discover
in time.
General Wilson mas declared
that he will not ask that the
Sixth Virginia negro regiment
be mustered out as he is satisfied
that their misconduct has been
partly for the purpose of getting
out of the service.
The cause Of the trouble is
the failure Of the officers chooses
by the negroes from among
their own number to pass ex>
aninations for commissions.
White officers were then placed
i'll charge, aud this aroused a
mutinous spirit, which caused
the white captains to resign.
The entire regiment is still
under arrest, guarded by a bat
talon of the Tenth Immupes,
who have orders to shoot any
man who attempts to escape.
Officers of the Tenth Im>
munes say the mutiny was more
serious than has yet been re
ported ; more than a hundred
men left camp in small squads,
all armed with rifles.
They intended to meet and
kill the white provost guard
and all white people with whom
they came In contact and then

They had also sworn to

Macon, Nov. 22.-When the
information reached here last
night that another negro regi &.
ment oficered by negroes the
Third North Carolina) was to be
sent here from Knoxville, there
was great dissatisfaction ex
pressed and the universal de-
cision is that they will have to
behave themselves after they
arrive in Macon.
From the reports here to-
day, giving an account of the
mutiny among them and the
killing and wounding of several
of the so-called "soldiers' at
Knoxville yesterday and other
actions of the North Carolina
regiment it is not thought that
they are any better than the
Virginia negroes, the whole
regiment of whom are still I'm,
der arrest and at hard labor, and
from them trouble is feared as a
result of their coming to Macon.
1t is agreed on all hands that
the greatest trouble arises from
the fact that these two regiments
are oficered by negroes, negro
officers invariable having proved
a failure in this war, the first ia
which they ever participated in
the service of the u. S.
With white officers the negro
troops are not so bad, but with
negroes to command them they
are worse than bandits in som.
respects. They refuse to ODE,
officers of their own color, tn
latter state, but the incompet
ency of the negro officers is a
