ment at an early date
Saturday night between the hours of eleven
and twelve O'Clock, many who had retired were
awakened by the sound Of running crowd.
Invs stgatiou found it 10 be crowd Of coiored
men pursued by a crowd of whites. The dis
urbance arose over the impudence OF some or
he colored race. For a while brick bats and
missiles flew thick and fast, and fually the an
ny whites chased the negroes out oftown. It is
ioDed that this will be the last Of it, and tina,
rowds OF the coIored people will not congre- 1
ate in groups the sidewalks obstructinp ]
he streets, and that the whites VIII not engage {
d any more chases. It is said, that some Of the
ierchants who had just closed their stores, not 8
'ishing to get in the crowd, ran home as they 8
ever ran before. and one man stumbled and q
ood on his head and his money rolled out of I
is pockets. ,
