1t is contrary to the law, of this state to
bring negroes into the state, or permit them
to reside here. But we are told that families
moving here from Kentucky have done the
same thing and are equally censurable. We
admit that, legally, they are. But the eases
are very different. In the case Of the two or
three Kentucky families, the ncgroe. were
tavorite family servants which they refused to
sell and which they felt bound by every in

Those who are now being brought here ar,

But, in both cases it is a violation of law tc

The law ought to be enforced and the
population Of our county with negroes ought
to be stopped. Would the people of the north

The threatened Retaliation in Missouri

Some of the Yankee papers, the Montgomery Ad'rr-
tisr saws eer at the retaliation letter Of President DS-
Wis to General Holmes, concerning the ten Aissourans
recently murdered at PALMYRA by the Yankee butcher,
General Mcneil They say he dsres not put bis threat
into execution and that his interference in the case Is
double insoeuce The view taken of the matter by the
New York Herald Is that the deed was committed by
Missouri militia and therefore the Yankee Government
is not responsible 1t presumes that the President on
being Informed Of this viii withdraw bis threats. The
Herald is altogether presuming 1t is matter OF
no consequence to what particular hsanch Of the Yam
kee service the murderer belongs Enough that be is
in the employ and engaged in carrying out the purposes
Of the Washington DesPot. If the Yankee Govern
meut dsapprOyes of the act the surrender Of Mcneil
can easily be made and then the Confederate author
ties can settle the account With him Il Is not wonder
m that the Yankees should make themselves merry over
our threats Of retaliation They have been made so Of
ten and not executed that they have to look upon
them rs mere paper thunder. We hope they may be
disappointed In his instance and that the President viii
not avail himself Of the opportunity afforded by the
Herald 10 withdraw his order the ground that the
Yankee Government could have prevented the muir
der, and is not therefore responsible.
