seven Niggers take Possession OF N

We are informed by a gentleman residing In
the southern part OF this township that a fea
evenings since three big, ugly. black female mig
gers came 20 a farm house Ia his neighborhood
aud asked 70 stay all night. They were told
they could not stay.
A few moments after the arrival Of the " enches
-rhe..courra's" having the rffrir ail arranged
there came a second lot, consisting Of four ugly,
big male niggers- The family becoming still
more frightened at this new feature IN politics
said they could give them their supper. but could
not possibly accommodate them through the
night.
The dsrkies. thinking there was no "miIleni-
um" about that kind Of talk spoke up all about
the same time and all in about the same strain,
follow:
"Oh. yes. dAt's de way we am served you white
people in de NOrf told US to run away from our
masters, an you would treat us like brudders; and
dis is de way We am treated"
lively war OF words here ensued-in fear on
the part of the white family, but in an insolent
and determined manner on the part of the mig
ger
They took the supper; and not only that, but
they STAYED all night. against the ren.onstrance
of the proprietors-O Of the house, and never said
so much as even ''thanky"
The beauty Of the thing is, however the
whole OF this white family, who were made the
slaves Of niggers on this occasion, and had been
pretty well abolitionized, arose the next morning
with the dawn, most effectually cured of abOl
tionism, and about as good Democrats a. that

Drafting.

We hope drafting will not be commenced by
the Governments, in this State, without real
eessify As at present advised. Indiana has about
made mp her quota of the ftco calls for 800 900
men each. and will probably have surplus to
spare. Her share would be in the neighborhood
OF forty thousand in all. and that number must
be quite nearly in the field and in camp under
the late levies.
If other States should be backward in sending
troops into the field il must be seen to that lndi
ana does not have 10 make up that deficiency. or
take more burtheus on her than what rightfully
belongs to her. We hope to see her do all that
fairness and duty requires OF her people, but We
should regret if the State authorities subject her
TO any burdens not properly her own. Let all
the States furnish their quota by volunteering,
and. in default of that, let the draft be applied to
the delinquent States. and to no others. Indiana,
Illinois aud Ohio are, We hope. nearly out Of the
ring where delinquent States do coDgregate We
feel quite confident that Indiana occupies this
position. IL she does not, all this goes for no
thing.
