Gen. Johnston had reached the liig
Black, and would have crossed at dayhght
on Monday morning, but at ten o'clock Sun
day night .he received information that
Vicksburg had fallen, and that Grant , was
on the opposite bank to dispute the passage
of the river. He immediately fell back to

our prominent citizens, while promenaoing
Fourth street, near Vine, was elbowed by a ;
regress, dressed gaudily in silk and lace.
The lady thus shoved looked back for an
apology, but was met by a sneer and a laugh
of triumph at the achievement the wench
had made. Again, last night, a negro
barberr on the corner of Race and Sixth
streets, chased a white man out ot his sa-,

his cane, and exclamings " t made the d d
dog bite the dust, that time !" All this time
there wee ho watchmen near, nor were
any arrests made. These are not the only
insults that are occurring constantly in our
midsj, and it is high time that the negroes
nf the citv come to the conclusion to cease
their outrages upon our. white citizens.
Their continuance of these wrongs will not
be suffered much longer, and if retaliation
does come scenes may be witnessed in Cm
