DISGRACEFUL.-About. 9 o'clock Ia8t'DJght, a-man-weariuo tho shoulderstraps of a Scc oad Lieutenant in the United States Andy, was seen walking .in company with a black woman on tba public' streets. A crowd. of soldiers-followed them fur .some distance, and on arriving-at-thc corner of 9th and Chest nut streets,, provoked tho" Lieutenant into stopptng.and quarrelling with thctnr he otter-' ing to whip any one of the party. A. large crowd collected in a few- minutes to witness the affair, which was disgraceful in thc ox treme. A number of tho^party were armed with bayonets and short swords, two netrrocs in pa-ficular flourishing their weapons in a very .ureateniiig-i?anner. " Fortunately, thointerposit on of some offi cer prevented any outbreak, and the lieuten ant with his companion- slatted off. They were fellowed again by the saine soldiers, and were seen to enter a little hut on the corner of 6th and Railrcad streets. Guards were immediately procured, aud the officer and his paramour caught in flagrante delicto, and in the coBtumo of the Fcjee Isl?ndern.

The Black Eep?biicaOj a paper very well |;edited by a black rlergyinun ut New Orleans, contains a correspondence between a commit tee of the Freedmen and tue' editor, on the {-prospects of the black population of tbe South. From the reply of the aditor we copy the following "paragraphs : . The colored man and the white man cannot "live together in Ibis country ; they must and will have to. separate, unless the Congress of tlie 'Nation shall,gi ve them, a .place to them selves, for as it ,waa with Abraham and Lot, .so it is-with us, the sooner wc seek a home for our.rjsing generation, toe better -it will I*e Tor as. Oiir final destiny, as far as I can dimly-see', is that in three hundred years it wili be a rare thing to see a colored man tn this conn' -try. Like the Indian, oar-race in this'coun' try is destined to become extinct, unless wo move tb ourselves ? Ai.d alter wc shall have obtained the right of suffrage, I shalt strongly advocate a treaty, stipulation bet *eti thc United Stakes and.our race, whereby wo ina? live under the Uni'ed States flag, but be apart to on'rsolyes, and even then we become dissatisfied, for there is no historian that can .point but an instance where two nations have eye? lived together happily. One power must rule, and the other will not be pleased ; and if we don't separate, in less than three hundred "years the colored tuan in thie country will bea color between the Canadian-Indian and tho inhabitants of India. Tttia country, gentlemen, is not ours in ray opinion and as the question bas been asked by a party of freedmen-, the above is my an swer to the same* 1 could write a work" upon this question, had I the means to pot it'in [?circulation. Tbe-imraigratton of the white race from Europe must ^crease, whilst the immigration of the black race munt decrease, as the slave trade lm been stopped, and the res alt.if the African race in-this couutry will jina)ly run out, and ell the property wo may accumulate for our rising gen'eratioivwili avail ns nothing unless wo obtain a renting place of our own. Moreover, experience teaches that no two races can live together: happily under one flag when they both aro properlv educated, '-Therefore; gentlemen, my impartial opini?n is, that this country is not oui home. .
