it win prove . fee sinlpel title for altimc,
Every free Niger will git in the kotton patch
now, shore; for the tarnal rebels do everything
BY kontrarys. Niggers have rs 20 pur sent
and are CROWN more darker and more bIackcr
every day. A big plantashun now look like
the sun wer in y klipse. Your proklyma-
shun hav entaled Afriky upon us so strong
that you kin aktually smell it. Tippio say

interested and he think yOu had better make
ell free fust, and isshu your proklam0shun
afterwards. Genl Hunter try'dit your way and
ovcrkrapped hisself. Tip never got 10 Tree

had better experiment on dogs fust. If you
could manage to give EN- all the hydroioby l
think it would work, and then you might try
II on the nigrers and other horned Katie. If
they wont aksept your freedom, why. let en-
alone. 1t are useless 10 k&!! them Ell they
wont KUN. / wonst hearn a feller in Il thea
tur say he kould kali speriti from the nasty
deep, but the sperits never KUN and he never
got nary drink-so 90 IL gently Mr.. Linkhorn
Int 90 It shore. The world, thc flesh and the
devil are looking to you to extend the cgiS of

and in animal-over Bull bats and screech
owls, grubworms AID grind stones, mggcrs ana
alliraters, and every thing that don't spi1l rs
the yearth turns upside down. You'll have a
free fte, Mr.. Linkhorn in 1oin all this, bat
never mind--pitch in-great is your reward.

Mr.. Linkhorn, Sur, Our people sit more
stubborn every day. They go nifty ny naked
and say that they are savin their sundy kiosc

if your folks keep crossin such sickly riveI
like the Potoinak and Chickyhominy, you
have all the scum Of your popula&htn killc
up, and will have to cnkroach on your roc
society.
Mr.. Linkhorn, sur, Your Gincrals don
travel the right road to Hichmond no how.
The way they've been tryln to KUN are thru
mi. hty Longstreet, over two powerful IL!
and across a TREMENDOUS Stonewall. 1t Won.
be safer and cheaper for en-! to go round /
the Rocky Mounting, if spending time in nj
itary eXkurshuns, are their chief otjck.
But l must klose this brief epi.tul. I fc
very gloomy, Mr.. Linkhorn, about this DIT
