Between the White and Black /Sol
diers —The Louisville Evening News
of the 5th instant has the following :
At Paducah, a few days ago, as an
Illinois and Minnesota regiment were
being relieved of duty as Provost
guards of that place by a negro regi.
meut, the white soldiers concluded
that they had been outraged by the
presence of negro soldiers, and they
took the matter into their own hands,
and concluded to wreak their revenge
upon the blacks with stoues and revol
vers. The negroes attempted to re
sist, but this only increased the fury of
the white soldiers, and before all the
negroes could be collected and taken
inside the fortifications of Fort Ander
son, six or seven of them were killed.
The negroes were only saved by being
collected within the fort, and a white
guard placed around them, when the
excitement died out, and the white
soldiers were sent out of town on their
way home.
O rigin of " F bniaïj ." —The origin

was a name given to an order or class
of professional soldiers among the Pa
gan Irish, long before the Christian
era. In ordinary times the Fiann
consisted of three legion«; in each le
gion were three hundred men, but in
war there were usually sevea legions.
