Well, tho h.iys from "Dixie"
lmvo loat tlifir reputation ho far ns
.the people out hero are concerned,
.mid pint because tin hoys were
going to hang a"rion." Forth.
past week, niiici! t!n boya learned
that their chances for going to
JM rvnili were nliin, tho days and
night have been fraught with ex
citement nnd ncKlcts hiliarity. At
fill lioura of tin niidit tin; Kound.t
.of revelry i.-iKtii;:;; fiom Iho tents of i
tho Tonnest-ennH lmvo Htartled tin
iintives' find tho newspapers have
been pregnant with startling eto
rh'H and glaring headlines about
many wild, weird scenes transacted
within tho Tinea of tho Tennessee
.CP nip.
Tin? reporters nave give birth to
horrible htoiies which hideously
picture tho liotous ghont dances
nnd barbarous doings of the South
ern Loys.
" All's quiet along tho Potomac"
is no longer uttered by tho senti
nels, but the .whole camp is sur
rounded by a double guard urn
.every few moments you may hen r
tho cry "Corporal of the guard;,
.post 12!"
Every timo wo give vent to an
. old " rebel yell " now tho hills of
tho Presidio swarm with people
.who aro wondering what we are
, doing next, and expecting to see
; iho figure of a " nigger" swinging
, to a tree.
'Last Friday night the boys wen
, over to throw the entire New York
, regiment into the bay. Wo were
. rfdrifr.iT.fid bv the Kansas and Iowa
' boys and. for a while it seemed that
; a battle would occur with deadly
, re8ults. Bystanders - held their
breath expecting to hear the clash
of ..weapons at any moment, but
, this was prevented by a battery of
. artillery, troops of cavalry and a
t cordon of pickets. Both sides were
, arrayed in company front from the
gate down to the beach with bayo
, nets gleaming under tho glare of
. the electric lights. By midnight
the crowd was dispersed after a
)-ew fights on the. outside. But
i about our last reputation.
v You see out here people don't
. treat negroes like we do down
r South. I have seen a white man
escort a negro wench to the theatre
and they aro treated as an equal,
. so when we show our contempt for
such we hear howls of indignation.
, Several times our boys have gone
into restaurants and sat down at a
i. table and negroes would come in
and sit down at the same table.
The Tennessee boys always arose
, and proceeded to smash them with
..a, chair, lhe other morm
r negro struck one of the boys with
a pair of knncks and told the boy
that negroes out. here were better
than white people. As soon as the
icgimont heard that one of tho
boyB had been nv.nulf ed by a negro
they gave thiso anil caught him.
D'-tniln are not neco-iry. Rut for
a troop of cavalry and a battalion
of infantry with loaded guns, tho
usual ceremony would have trans
pi rod in a quiet manner ,;.nd th
"coon" would lime now been si
lently H oding toward that "beau
tiful shore."
(h.uoiid Morriam tays he can't
do anything with tho TenresHoe
boys, nnd is afraid to pay us or
give us ammunition liko tho other
regiments, ho 1 guess if wo should
tro to tho front we'll have to fight
with bayonets.
Every njht the bands play
"Dixie" and give concerts while
wo have sparring exhibitions and
sing .find' yoll. Tho papers con
tinue to contain big pictures of
riots, nicht attacks nnd lynclungs
