In the Chicago Inter Ocean. "the most

also readiness and resourcefulness.
While we were at McMinnville, Tenn.

we 90 over and dig some of the pota-
toes on shares, and we were soon at
work
We had dug about half bushel as
line sweet potatoes as you ever saw,
when a rifle bullet struck the ground
between us. We saw where the smoke
came from, and we saw also a house
not far away. Believing the bush
whacker would run to the house we de-
cided to get there before him. As we
turned the corner of the house at a full
run we came face to face with the
bushw hacker. gun in hand Caught in
the act, he was greatly disturbed, while
we were in great good humor. AS he
had had the privilege of shooting at us,
we took the privilege of confiscating
certain things found in and about his

About half way to camp the BUSH

chickens strung on it, over his shout

Il caught him, brought him back to
the burden, persuaded him TO take II
up, and we reached camp without any
further trouble. There we turned the
bushwhacker over to Gen. Nelson, who,
well pleased at the capture, asked no
questions as to why we were outside
the lines.
But speaking of alertness on picket,
there was a case OF nonalertness in
that McMinnville campaign that took
the cake. Gen. Nelson was in COM

bringing about their depotation. More
over, blood of innocent Negroes would
be made to flow like river as an
atonement for the fiendish outrage.
Here at ROANOKE, some namele IS,

her child. It was announced at the

her. bat this is now denied aud yet in

the abiest Doctors of Divinity in this
state has been forced to fee for his

mitted that he could not protect him.
This was done too in the face of the
fact that every colored man deplored the
outrage on this white lady and stood
ready to aid in bringing the guilty per-
son TO justice. We are having a hard
time of it and while it is all right to
pray to Cop, it is equally as well to
trust our own weak arm. Conditions
down here are so critical that we never

Hay has addressed an identical note

1t is learned that the proposition Of
