adviceS represent John Z. Fremont az In the
act of hastily leaving Paris for this country,
where he had expressed desire to raise a mob
of twenty thousand congenial ruftians, for
crusade against the place of his nativity. If
the adventurer was in Paris, and getting along
finely in practising on the credulity of the
French bankers, by false representations re-
specting his Mariposa estate, as Black Repub-
lican authorities represent him to have been,
he ought to have worked the mine to the bed
rock. 1t will pay more to the "pan" to work
those "diggings" than any crusade he could
originate and set agoing against the South
Impartial history, when written, will hold up
to the indignant gaze of posterity no two more
traitorous and deep-dyed villains than this
same Fremont and Gen. Scott, natives though
they be of the sunny South. 1t will Re writ
| ton down that neither they nor their followers
were moved by motives of honor or impulses
| of patriotism. With these two leaders of the
| hordes now preparing to subjugate the South,
| disappointed ambition and thirst for revenge
| is the leading motive with their assinine fol-
lowers it is only the pirates and freebooter's
desire for plumber. Both Fremont and
| Scott will have the infamous distinction
of being fratrcides, and leaders of thieves,
| oppressors and common cut-throats.-

| Old Dominion, born on her soil, by one of

her first traitor Offering of any magnitude

dancing master, would have been born il

H. W. Fry, Esq, next to the City Hall, had
not an untimey discovery of the little intimacy

| Richmond. Fremont first saw the light Of
day in Charleston, S. C. Whether goaded by
the thoughts of his ignoble birth, or what
other motive we know not, he has been en-
gagged al! his life in desperate enterprises.
| From the time he stole JeSsie Benton down to
this he has been trying some new scheme to
place his name on the roll Of fame. He has
the credit of being the first one who ever ss-
sayed with any success to marshal the motley
hordes of aboitioniGm in regular war (at
the ballot-box) against thu South aud its in
tegrity. He did not succeed then, nor do We
imagine he will row, though he proposes te
substitute bullets for ballots.
In the Presidential campaign In which hs

South it was regarded as remarkable fact
even in the excitement which had grown uf

to dismember the Confederacy. and which haa
since accomplished the act, that man wht
derived his education and early subsistence
from the charity of Southern ladies should b.
selected to marshal the opposition to Southern
rights and interests. Surprise was expressed
that man who was indebted to South Caro-
lima gentlemen for early assistance in life
should be so far forgetful of ordinary gratitude
aud feeling as to offer himself as leader in
crusade against the dearest rights of his bene
factors. The latter maryelled much that on
who bad passed bis early years in the South
and in the educated collinuaity o. Charleston
! should be so lost to all early associations. /,
contrasting his present position with that for
merry occupied by him, they will still find caus
for surprise and indignation. In early life til

price. If they do not, like thei- great prote
