The Newberry Vindictives,--Their APP
preaching Fate.

This congregation of demoniac spirits is down
upon us again. The last Conserratist contains L
record of some recent proceedings, in which sun
dry purblind devils of the order pounced upon old
Edgshed and the AdUertlse- with all the venom
Of incarnats friends. The consequence has been,
giueral arousement' Of tho Edgefeld frresis-
tibles, who are now making arrangements to mobi-
lize in the direction of Newberry at On early day.
They do not condoscend to conceal from the fated
Vindictivos their programme of operations. We
therefore speak advi.edly and by authority when
we say, lst, that our troops will encamp the first
night at or about Bobos hill in the enemy's terri
tory; 2ndly, that descent will BIO made, Christ
berry; 3rdly, that quarters (perhaps Of tho shin
plaster variety will be offered to all ercepte Vim
dic.ipes themselref 4thly, that these last will bo
disposed of as follows: Philip Buster will be
charged with gas until he explode, which catas-
trophe shall take place Immediately in front of
Molohon Row. Algernon Cockney shall be opera
ted upon with 'alf and 'alf until his tongue shall
forget its 'orrible h-aptitudo for villifying the
Kings English, whereupon, death ensuing, he
will be packed up in beef fabs and ops and ship
mado to uttor, Mt the point of ton pitch-forks,
enteon hundred consecutive monosyllables and no
Dutch his remains will be permitted to remain
embalmed in buckeye ut the Doctors shop as a
caution to succeeding generations. Timothy Iddi-
" shall bo scowled ut and growed Mt by platoon
of our fercest Irresi,tiJles until he collapse; ho
will then bo deposited, for one night only, in the
Court House entry, that his friends may look their
last, and will carly next morning be consigned to
the quick-sands of oblivion. Col. Butcher shall
be hung outright, as one public and formal execu
ton is thought necessary, and no single member
Of even tho Tndictive club can be supposed better
qualified for this use than one who has so often
dealt death to the unofending. For the rest the
small and mean Vindictiues will bo stopped up in
their den without provender or beverage Of any
kind and when reduced to living skeletons, they
will be brought out, transported to the banks Of
Sand Dam pond in SAKE Gotha, and there instruct
cd in the arts and refncments of civilized life by
missionaries to bo appointed for that purpose. As
soon they shall BIO properly drilled in such items
as tipping their hats to ladies, not splitting car
pets, wearing their clothes decently &C., DC, they
will be gradually permitted to 60 back home wiser
| and better men.
Thus much we are permitted to announce of tho
| coming event. Citizens generally are earnestly
| advised to remain housed on tho occasion. 1t
| would be q pity that tho innocent should suffer
with the guilty. But cost what it may, "the in
suits of these impudent Tiadictiucs mustand shall
be avenged" Such was the language of tho last
cartel promulged to his troops by the Generalssi-
mo Of the Edgefcld LrresiaiLles. There is no cs-
capo from its fulflment. How short-sighted is
man. But two weeks ago, VIC vcntured to say
something of 4 Field Of Cloth Of Gold as between
EdgeAeld and Nowberry. And behold! tho pros
pcct has evanosced n lurid cloud has supervened,
the dogs of war arc ready to let slip, and the cur
tain is about to rise upon one Of the srangost tragc
dies that has uplifted itsawful proportions in the
social history of modern days.
