MASTERING OUT THE SECOND.
Men who Wish to Enlist in the
Fourth May DO So at Once.

Major Price, the muster-out ofncer OF
the Second Regiment returned TO Rich
mond yesterday morning from visiting
the companies in the Southwest, and spent
the remainder OF the day comparing the
rolls of several OF the companies. Major
Price now has TO examine only the rolls
of Companies A. /, and X. He viii com
plete these by Saturday night.
The delay in mastering out the regi-
ment will be due to completion OF the
ordnance account. II cannot be stated
how much time will be consumed on this
account. Major Price will have TO allow
the War Department at least ten days in
which 10 examine the rolls This was the
time consumed In the examination OF the
accounts of the Third Regiment and
when the paymaster came 10 pay off the
men the work was uncompleted.
Major Price stated last night that he
could muster out at any time men who
wished to enlist in the Fourth, and would
do So
Company Il and Company M attended
the performance at the Academy OF Music
last night for the benefit of the Old Do
minion Hospital. Each company turned
out about seventy-fiye men. The soldiers
went to the performance because of de-
sire to show their appreciation OF the ex-
cellent treatment they or their comrades
have received at the Old Dominion Hos
pltal since the war began.

A Warming.
atlanta Journal.)


One OF the many mistakes of our gov
eminent in its preparations for the war
with Spain was the enlistment of negroes
I'm the army.
The negro regulars have, as a rule be-
haved well both in peace and in war;
Some OF them fought nobly at Santiago.
Some of them walked over part of a So
called crack regiment from New York.
which couldn't stand the fire.
But the negro volunteers, wherever they
have been, have been a source of dis
order.
The press dispatches OF the last two
days show that they are far from inn
proving and rising to the grade Of decent
sodierly conduct. We are told that a.
negro lieutenant, accompanied by a man
Of his command, went out of his way in
Chattanooga last Saturday to order two
white volunteer soldiers TO salute him.
One Of them did so, but the other re-
fused. Thereupon the black ruffian and
his companion proceeded TO kick the
white soldier who would not make obei-
sance.
With all his bullying and brutality the
negro lieutenant seems to have preserved
come prudence, and just after perpetra-
ting the outrage he seized cab and with
his subordinate darby sped 10 his camp.
III he had been caught by the Infatuated
crowd of white men, who went TO look
for him after hearing Of the outrage he
perpetrated he would have been at least
horsewhipped through the streets.
On the same day that the negro lieute-
nant in Chattanooga kicked young
white soldier for not saluting him a gang
Of drunken negro soldiers in Macon en-
gagged in still more dangerous sport. They
tree on which negro brute was swung
up few years ago for assaulting a white
woman. They found the tree and fired
into 1t several hundred cartridges, which
had been furnished to them by the gov
ernment. The owner of the premises. who
came out to protest against the disorder
and the destruction OF his property was
greeted with cries of Burn him. from
these defenders of our flag, and had TO
flee for his life. The Infatuated negroes
then proceeded to a neighboring park.
which Is popular resort for ladies and
children. and We're so boister0us that the
park-keeper attempted TO bring them 20
order They attacked him, took his piss
tol, and threatened to kill him.
We do not know where these negro SOL
diers hail from, but they evidently do not
understand the people among whom they
are now stationed.
Macon is about the last place where
they can with impunity cut such dldoes
as they did last Saturday.
The fact that they wear uniforms gives
them no right to outrage public decency
or the rights of private citizens
And they Will not be permitted to do
SO. either In Macon or any other southern
city. II these negro soldiers and officers
now stationed In the South. who have
made themselves obnoxious. are wise they
Will begin al once 10 act more like men
and less like DULLES and brutcs.

| rush 10 Alaska in the search for gold
| Will probably never be known, and the
manner I'm which hundreds OF persons
who have met death In the wilds OF
| Alaska viii ever remain the subject OF
| speculation among friends and relatives:
| The latest REPORTS tell OF the fate or
| eighteen persons who are said to have
been killed while trying to enter the
mouth of the Kuskokwim river last June,
on the little steamer Jesse. The story
has lust been brought from that section
I'm a letter TO Barneson and Cnicott. VINO
were part owners In the wrecked steamer.
The letter was written by hunter and
trader on Nunivak Island, 100 miles from
the mouth of the Kuskokwim, and IN
he claims to have positive information
that all hands were rescued from the
steamer and the barge when they went
ashore in the breakers only to meet
death at the hands OF the savages.
WIFE GOT THE NEWS.
According TO Marsten's letter, his wife,
who is an Indian, paid visit to her rela-
tives at the mouth of the Kuskokwim
river shortly after the wreck Of the Jesse.
While there she attended feast given
by the Indians, during the progress Of
which the Indians got drunk on a kind
dulging In the general debauch they quar-
relied over the possession of certain ar
ticles taken from the saipwrecked crew.
Her suspicious were aroused by seeing
them in possession OF many valuable ar
ticles Of wearing apparel, watches,
breech-ioading rifles, and an abundant
supply of provisions. She made inquiries
OF her grandmother, an aged squaw, who
related TO her how, when the Jesse and
the barge Minerva went ashore. the In
dams assisted in saving the whites and
the cargo of the barge, and after the
whites had established a camp the In
dams demanded pay for their services
They wanted nearly everything the whites
had not leaving them enough to last the
party through the winter. The whites
offered a reasonable amount, which did
not satisfy the Indians, who Immediately
commenced planning TO take possession
OF everything.
DECISION TO KILL WHITES.
A council was held, and It was decided
to kill all the whites, which was done
the next night while they were asleep.
The bodies were taken to the sea in
canoes and thrown overheard. Nothing
was known of the fate of the unfortunate
prospectors for nearly a month after the
wreck, when several bodies came ashore,
badly decomposed. The Indians then re-
ported that the Jesse and the barge had
been wrecked and all lost.
Report was made to an agent of the
Alaska Commercial Company, who visited
the scene, and identified the bodies OF
Captain Murphy and the Rev. Mr.. Web
ber a Moravian missionary, who. with
his wife and child. joined the expedition
at Dutch Harbor, and was going to estab-
lish a mission among the savages who
murdered him. 1t is further stated that
the Kuskokwim Indians threaten to stop
the whites from prospecting in the Kus-
kokwim country, as they claim it is their
hunting and fishing reserve.
