Riot in Mobilr.—Fr m a gent'emau
just from Mobile we learn fclaf following par-
ticulars of a riot in that city on the fourth
of July. We do not attempt to vouch for
the accuracy of the *toiy. We g'vo the
staUinent as made to us:
It soemt that a paity of ncgroe soldier-
met a lady and child upon the banquette < f
i street in M. bile, and one of the negroes
kickid the child in'o the ftreet.
A white soldier coming up- demanded to
know how he *'dared to insult the lady so,"
Words passed, and the result was that the
white soldier drew his revolyer and shot the
offender. This was tho signal for the begin-
ning, of a formidab.e riot. A crowd gather-
ed of soldiers and "others, and many shots
wore fired, resulting in a number of killed
and wounded—our informant Hiys son.e 30
were placed hors du combat.—X. 0. Timen.

To Planters.
We publish to-day a notice to planters anil
freedmen, handed tó us for that pufpope by
Lieutenant Stickney, the Saperintundent of the
F^eedman's Bureau here. In all candor wo
mast soy that there appears to exist in the au-
thoritative quarter here every disposition to
uiakt) the new relation between tho planter and
the laborer as beneiieial and agreeahlo to both
parties as possible} no disposition seems to be
evinced to iiisiof upon nnrttifionablH t«rms,
which are; in fact, to be left' fta tóuffh as* possible
to the contracting parties, and We have no doubt'
that all contracta made-in a spirit of justice will
be approved of and enforced.
