The soldiers broke loose again last
Monday morning, and for several
hours they had the old town com
pletely in their own hands.
This Is the second time tne sol
diers have stampeded. The first
time they got mixed with whiskey,
but Monday they got mixed with the
snow. The citizens of the town had
begun to hope that there would be
no more disorder among the boys, as
they had kept good order since the
first diiy or two after their arrival;
but Monday's episodes were sorely
disappointing.
The soldiers were on the streets
early and began by throwing snow
balls. They seemed to ' have it in
especially for the negroes, for every
ti.ne a darkey would make his ap
pearance on the streets, a score or
more of them would commence yell
ing like Comanche Indians and
send a shower of snow-balls after
him. This sport soon became too
tame for some of them, and these be
gan rolling the negroes on the
ground, stuffing snow down their
backs, and placing rocks in their
snow-balls. A number of negroes
were badly cut and bruised by be
ing struck with these dhIIs. Not
only would they attack the negro
on the streets, but when one would
take refuge in a store a howling
mob would go after him, pull him
out and renew their attack with in
creased energy. Neither did they
care which way their b ills flew. A
number of passers by were struck
by the Hying missies, and window
panes were in danger.
tSoon tne negroes oecame scared,
and would not venture out up n the
streets. The coal dealers and gro
cery men, some of them, had to stop
their wagons or drive them them
selves, and business was greatly in
terfered with. After the "fun" had
been carried on for some time, Col.
Montgomery made his appearance
on the square and quieted the boys
there. Finally the snow Degan to
melt and soon disappeared, much to
the delight of the negroes and to
their employers as well.
The soldiers did not connne tnem-
selves to the business section of the
city, but a number of ihem stormed
the negro settlement nortnwest oi
town, known as Macedonia, and
tetrorized the darkies in that sec
tion by rocking the houses. Hnd run

One negro on South Main street,
who was set upon by a crowd of the
blue-coats, resisted the attack made
upon him and strucit one of the sol
diers in the head with a brick and
nearly bit oil another one's finger
This infuriated the soldiers, and
they renewed their attack upon the
negro, cutting him badly in several
places. Further trouoie was pre
vented by the interference of the
provost guard.

There are quite a number of sick

are serious ones.

keys by squatting down upon them
on the side of theroad. Mr. War
field accosted the men, and, in an
swer to his inquiry as to what they
were doing there, said they were
"resting." Mr. Warfleld said he
would "rest" awhile, too,-and keep
them company. Finally, one of the
soldiers became tired in his uncom
fortable position and arose and
started away, first attempting to
hide his bird on the ground. Mr.
Warfleld saw the turkey, however,
and notified the soldiers that they
were the very scoundrels he was
after. The soldiers then broke and
ran, five of them carrying their tur
keys with them, and the others
leaving tneir birds on the ground.
Mr. Warfleld attempted to identify
the men in camp, but as it was lat
in the evening when the theft was
committed, he could not recognize
their countenances.
I.aiil Down Their Arms.
The soldiers marched by om

and rtiturd iyand laid down their
guns and other equipments. This
evidence of the near approach of

enjoyment in parting company with

they would bid good-bye to Uncle

Fight ar the Depot.
Several negroes and a number of
soldiers had a fight near the City
Oi-ain & Feed Comnanv's mill, on
the railroad, Wednesday afternoon.
The disturbance originated over a
quarrel between a negro girl and
white boy. The mother of the
negro girl came out from her house
to stop the quarrel, and, it is alleged,
started towards the boy, threaten
ing him. when several soldiers who
were standing near by protested.
The soldiers say the woman became
mad at this and shook her list in one
of the soldier's face, where upon he
hit her and knocked her down. The
husband of the woman, who works
at the mill, saw the fight, and
accompanied by several other tie
groes started for the blue-coats, who.
being outnumbered, were whipped
and put to flight. The soldiers soon
returned, however, with re-enforcements,
and again set upon the ne
groes, one of whom was .badly cut
and bruised, and was carried to town
and had his wounds dressed. While
returning to his home, accompanied
hv several Drovost guards, he was
met by part of tha mob and attacked
au-ain. The guards tried to hold
them at b:iv and tired several snots
promiscuously, none of which took
effect. The negro then broke and
ran, pursued by the enraged soLii srs.
He eteaped without further injury.
Several other negroes were also hurf
during the fracus.
We never saw a Spaniard; all we ever
