self into the midst of the clerks.
Is this the fiag-of-truce office?” she asked*
“ Yes, madam.”
“Can I send a letter to the North?”
“Certainly, if its contents are not objection
able. Our rules are to examine all writings
before committing them to the mail.”
“ Oh,” laughed the female, “there is nothing
treasonable or contraband in that,” and she
handed a delicately enveloped package to the
examining clerk. “ Pray examine it. Only a
letter to my aunt in Washington.”
The clerk did examine it; ran his eye over
the few lines; found nothing to condemn in if
—only some allusions to family matters, re
long separation, and “ love to all.”—
So ff ended, signed “Catherine.”
•• That's a model flag-of-truee letter, madam,”
snokc the clerk when he had finished. “ I

would save us poor fellows a deal of labor,
and insure the forwarding of hundreds of let

“ And destroyed?” put in the unknown fe
male, as she observed the work of destruction
going on in tiie fire-place.
“Just so: destroyed,” concluded the clerk,

J. TU. McDaniel:

Convention for each Shite shall prescribe the
fees, salary, ami compensation to be paid to

And there is nothing here that can be strictly

down the sheet he saw that the writer had
violated another rule — that regulating the
length of such correspondence. But he re

“ No 1”
And Tom cast the love-freighted message
aside, marking the address, however, with a

Mr. Richadson asked if he was to understand
that all delegates had received this notice. He
hail not.
Mr. Trammell said the member was hardly
in a position to have received it. Fie had only
been a candidate one day before the election,
and that 150 miles away from his place of resi
dence. The speaker then went on to reiterate
that the Convention had no right to put its
hand in the Treasury and so closed.

Editor of tin* Enquirer: For some time there
Ills been a society. Union League, or something
of the kind, composed of negro men, here.—
Till recently they have harmed no one, nor
has any one banned them. Frequently they
h ive appeared in uniforms, or with their badg
es. marching up and down the streets, with
drum and fife, going through the military
drills, etc.
The Postmaster, a very aged man, has a great
dislike to such displays, and on former occa
sions had let them know it.
On Christmas day the negroes were marching
by the office, and, with gun in hand, lie called
on them to halt. The gun was charged and
the hammer raised. They took it from him
and shot it off, throwing him down at the same
i time, and made some boastful remarks about
| it. While no one justified tiie old man, every
! one felt indignant at the treatment be had re
| ceived. The next day the society again formed
j at the usual place of meeting, and marched
. toward the business part ot town. !• rank
Davenport, a white man, quite intoxicated,
i rode up the street, meeting the negroes, and
i encouraged them to come on, that he would
lead them. He then turned and rode at full
speed, forcing his horse into a store. T his in
tensified the excitement, and was regarded by
many of the citizens as the outburst of hostil
ities, and of a fixed purpose on the part of the
Leaguers to overrun the place.
Earnest efforts were made on the part of the
citizens to stop the disturbance. Davenport
dismounted in front of the house, but could
not be pacified. James Lyle and others tried
to reason with him, but he was furious. At
this time he received a gun from the hands of
a mulotto. one of the principal men of the so
ciety. With this he shot Lyle, wounding him
in the arm. Lyle shot also,*killing Davenport
instantly. The negroes fled in every direction,
and order was restored. ~
