THE NATURAL EFFECT OF PUTTING ARMS

-. -. IN THEIR HANDS.
We have unquestionable authority for
the truth of the statement given below
horrible as it may seem to those who call
ours the age of Christianity and civiliza-
ton We give it in the words of the
writer: s.. -.
On Tuesday night, the 25th ultimo, a
party of thirty eight negro soldiers, mur>
dered nine peaceable citizens in cold blood
The facts are as follows, and were related to
me by Mr.. A. NJ Gwin. planter residing
at Brunswick Point, Miss.
The party OF negroes got to the Hill place
about eleven O'Clock at night. and arrested
Mr. Sims and Mr. Hill. They took them
with them, and proceeded to Mr.. Ford's, ar
riving there about sun>up arrested him and
started up Deer Creek. When a short dis
| tance above Mr., Fore's place the prisoners
were ordered to stand on the side of the
road. When Mr.. Fore saw they were to be
! shot, he sprang into the cane at the same
| instant the prisoners were fired upon. Mr.
| Sims and Mr. Hill fell dead. Mr.. Fore was
| shot through the shoulder. They procee>
ded up the Creek to Mr.. Clark's place and
| killed him at his house. They next went
| to Mr.. Johnston's ana killed him in the pres
ence of bis wife. They next shot Mr.. Cha
ney. They then returned down the creek.
Mr.. Fore made his way in great suffering
to the river. A negro woman from the
Hunt plantation gave the information of
what occurred after Mr.. Fore made his es>
cape.
The wives Of the murdered men are at
their homes unprotected. -Four more were
murdered by the same party before they ar
rived at the Hill plantation, on the way up;
their names did not learn. AU the negroes
icere tn fuU uniform and armed with mus
kets and had pistols in their belts.

Here we have another warning of what
may be expected on a much more exten-
ded scale, when Mr. Lincoln shall have
completed his great negro army. The
proclamation is already beginning to bear
It's barbarous and bloody fruit. The hor-
rible murder of the Beckham family, in
Guiding several small children, near Is
land No 10, by some of Mr.. Lincoln's
pet lambs in Federal uniform, is still fresf
in the minds of our readers, and now We
have the above sickering picture to pre-
? sent TO them. The murderers Of the Beck.
, hams have not been punished, and proba
l bly, never will be, by authority, and thi:
: last great atrocity will not be likely TO re
: ceive any official notice, for Mr. Lin
i coin, in his emancipation proclamation
Y promised to make no effort to restrain th
negroes who might seek to avail them
D selves of its provisions, and it is not prob
!, able that he viii desire to punish his uni
+ f;rmed agents for slaughtering white citi
# Zens of a Rebel State, though non-com
,, batants, unoffending and defenceless.-
Y Yes, the work of the indiscriminate slaugh
It ter of the white men, women and chill
/ dren of the South, by black brutes i
Federal uniform, has commenced. Th
$ 90 honor of our flag is to be upheld b
Is these barbarians-our liberties are to b
l. maintained by arming these imbrute
wretches, and allowing them to outra9
J. and slaughter helpless women and chi
, dren and decrepid old men, whetht
Unionist or Secessionist, for the negr
le knows no difference between them-h
o enmity is against the superior race, n
IN gardless of mems political proclivities.

N attained its height; then the Southern SIX
he will look luried with the light of burnir
Or homes, and the air will be rent with t
shrieks of outraged women and half grow
of eirls-and with the groans of gray hare
ly men, tortured and massacred by Mr.. Lii
is coins newborn sfcitizens of African d
te scent" and new fledged soldiers of fre
sh dom! Then such atrocious murders
e. that of The Beckham's will be repeate
in wherever in the South the Stars al
Stripes shall float and such scenes
that pictured above by the St. Louis +
of Dublcan, will be enacted wherever NJ
or Lincoln's colored pets in uniform are sca
tered! Then will the cowardly and m
lid lignant Abolitionists clap their bloo'
hands with JOY, and then will our Pu

Then will Stanton issue bulletins of CO
in graduation to the country, and Mr. Ii

which he will tell for the amusement
