This morning’s Constitution has
the following special from its Ma
con correspondent:
Macon, Ga., Nov. 16, The
Tenth immunee came in this morn
ing at 4 o’clock from Camp Ham
ilton, Lexington, Ky., and the
Second Ohio came in this after
noon at 2.
The negroes of tha Terth im
muiies began to cause trouble as
soon as they arrived . While the
tram# were at the Central railroad
junction a party of negroes left
the care and came into the city on
an inspecting tour. After loading
up on whisky they proceeded to
the suburbs and there tried to
take p sgaesion of several stores
They were armed with thj Krag-
Jorgensen bayonet, and were mak
ing things lively for the re-idents
of South Macon when a detail of
thirty-five men under Lieutenant
Bustow were sent to the scene -
They placed the marauders under
am st and brought them into the
city. Some of the negroes who
were arrested said they, ; - would
make graveyards fur scini.of the
people before they le.it here.
'I he provost guard had just re
turned with the prisoners when
they were sent for to ebme to Vine
ville, as a party ,of the colored
troops was raising a disturbance
at Drew A Parker’s stors. Fifteen
more negroes were brought in.
Arrests were made all during the
day and the provost guard was
ktpt. busy. None of the other
troops caused any trouble and the
■egroes are the only ones that
have been arrested.
The negro regiment is only the
advance guard of what is to come
as three more regimeate have been
ordered here, and are expected to
arrive this week.
The Tenth immunes were sent
out to the Huff place and they
went to work at once preparing
the camp. The grounds have al
ready been staked off, and the
men bad nothing to do but put up
the tents and lay off the company
streets. The officers and men
worked all during the day in a
downpour cf rain, and still the
camp is not finished. It will
be in order by tomorrow, however, i
and things will be arranged for the
cold weather

WHITE OFFICERS RESIGN.

ginia Desire to Quit.
•
Richmond, Va., Nov. 17. —All
the white officers of the Sixth Vir
ginia regimept, colored, have re
signed except Lieutenant Colonel
Croxton and Lieutenants Healey
and Richardson, The lieu enants
are on special duty and ar* not
immediately in command of negro
soldiers.
A letter received here from Cap
tain W.»,S, Faulkner tells of the*
troubles the white officers have
had. Th* soldiers, while obeying
their white officers in a sort of per
functory way, are sullen and make
things very unpleneatrt for their
officers. Colonel Croxton advised
that all the recently appointed of
ficers resign. The white captains
and lieutenants do not hesitate to
express themselves as disgustep
with the condition of things, They
admit that they have been forced
to resigned on account of the sen
timent among the men of the reg
iment in favor of colored officers.
• Governor Tyler has not acted
upon the resignations. He is said
to be opposed to appointing ne
gro efficers and will probably try
to have the reg’ment mustered out
and end this unpleasant feature of
the war.

Bi’idcht Him Back to Life.
New York, Sept. 30, 1891.
Messrs. Wells, Richardson k Ce.
Gentlemen —I might have
broken dewn sooner in the cam
paign about Santiago if I had
had time to realize what was the
matter with me before the Span
iards surrendered.
God knows I broke down soon
enough as it was, and it was as
great a surprise to me as it was
to the other boys who know me
at home. But the Spaniards kept
us busy, when }we were not
busy on our cwn account getting
ready f«r the big fight. That I
was a member of the Roosevelt
Regiment I shall always be
proud, and the fights at Las
Quasimas and San Juan Hill
will be things to talk about for
many a year
But I would aet have lived to
talk about them if I had not
found something to brace my
nerves up again after the seige
I had of it at Saatiago with dys
entery and slow fever. I got so I
could hardly shoot, and felt like
I did not care whether 1 did or
not. -
I lost 20 pounds in weight and
a lot more than that in spirit, it
you can measure a fellow’s spirit
that way. Half a dozen Mauser
bullets could not have made a
worse mess of me than the Cu
ban elimate and the paud in the
Santiago trenches did. As soon
as I found I was sick and my
nerves were all gone I bunted
for a tonic. I found it on the
way back north, when I got
some of the Paine’s celery com
pound I saw other men using.
How it braced me up my pic
ture will show better than any
thing else. It is the greatest
nerve restorer that can be made
for it brings all there is in a man
to the sflrface.

Messrs WelV, Richardson & Co.
Gentlemen—ls anybody in the
whole regime*t of Rough Riders
had a chain <to ebserve the
general weakened condition of
the men whenthey started back
to the United Blates, as compar
ed with their sialwart condition
when they saild from San An
tonio on June I, I think I had.
Oklahoma is generally regard
ed as a healthyblimate, and last
May, when I let there, I hardly
knew what sickiess meant Ear
lier in life, howver, I had lived
in the last, am after a month,
in service knewk hat I needed,
in my general rn-down condi
tion, was a uerv tonic. I kn-ew
if my nerves weil fixed, up there
would be no trotile about my
general health a-loon as I get
awiy from the ally.
I also knew thoosition that
Paine’s celery co pound .occu
pied, although lad not had
occasion to use it nuch myself.
I got a few bottle of it and be
gan to take it andjve it to a I
few of my acquaiiauces.
It actually seenjl to build up
ray nervous constltion almost I
as rapidly as the Sithern cli
mate had torn it own. 'The
same thing was trios the oth-i
er men I gave it iq
Unless I had foiil this tonic!

that 1 would have lone to the! 1

I might have sharedhg fate of|

St. Lours-, Sept. 29, 1898.
Messrs. Wells,Richardson &Co.,
Gentlemen— Nobody cau
- bl.i me me nt being disloyal if I
■ nay that Paine’s celery compound
? Ips done m re for me than any
C .otlx’-r person or thing since I
left Silver City to join thtßough
Riders.
I' has pulled together the
scraps of a stalwart man,
■ brought me around from all the
bad elects of the Cuban climate
and braced rne up until I am in
better health than I have been
in ten years. My friends in the
West think that lam nearly
dead from the army fever they
called calientura in Cuba. When
I get back to Silver City they
will be as surprised as I some
times feel myself. I had pretty
good nerves before I enlisted.
They went to pieces while we
were lying out in the trenebee
at Santiago, dodging bullets. I
began to feel feverish from the
day we got to Siboney. When
the M >us rs sang about our ears
I noticed that I was getting
nervous.
I got worse until I got back
to Montauk Point, where I got
a bottle of Paine’s celery com
-1 pound from another fellow in the
regiment. I saw several of the
Rough Riders taking it.
With some of them, as with
me-, it seemed to take the place
of both food and medicine, for
the systems of many of the m«n
needed toning up before they
could again eat as they bad
•lone before they left this coun
ty, t I don’t know muchabont
medicines. We don’t need much
medicine in New Mexico.
I know Paine’s celery compound
has fixed me up until I feel
to take the road for home,
where 1 expect to tell eveF/oao
who mentions nerves to m®
about my case
