Retaliation

With the fine tact vi simple honesty the
PRESIDENT, in bis little speech ut the open
ing OF The Fair in Bal more, said exactly
what we all wished 10 hear. The massacre
at Fort Pillow bad raised the question in
every mind, does the United States meau
to allow its soldiers to be butebered in cold
olosdY The President replies, that who
ever is good enough to fight for us is good
enough to be projected 10y US; and ,h,at In
this case, when the fact are subs'an,iated,
there shall 5e retpiistuu. La what way
we can retulia it is not easy TO say.
There is no evidence from, Richmond and
there will be none, that Forests murders
differs from those of Qiautrtli. On The
other hand, We must not forget that the
sume papers which brought the President S
epeoch promis ng re'a ir'ion brought us al'o
the return Of lhe rebel General III Florida,
con, aining, for the relief of friends at home,
he names aud hju'ies Of our wounded
men in his hands, aud that the list iucIud
ed The colored soldiers of The Fly fourth
and Fifty y-ffy y Massachusetts, regimeus
But If public opiuiou has jas fed ii stron
ger policy from the beginulug--if he Grim
inally stupid promises of Mcclellan and
HaIleck to protect slavery aud o repel The
negroes coming o our lines had never been
made, we should not now be confronted
with this question, because The rebels would
never have dared 10 massacre our soldiers
afser surrender But yet 10 be deferred
from retaliation from fear of still farther
crimes upon the part of the rebels is simple
inhumauity. Let US either at once release
every colored sold er aud the officers OF there
regiments from duty, or make the enemy
feel that they are our soldiers. IL is very
sad that rebel psorerS OF war should bt
shot for he crimes of Forrest Bat il !!
very sad no less, that soldiers lighting fui
our flag have been bu led alive after surr Ell
dering aud il is still Gadder that such bar
barites should be encouraged by refralnng
from retaliation Do we mean TO allow
Mr. Jefferson Davs, or this man Forrest
or QusutrelI, 10 dictate who shall, aud wht
Shall not fight for the American flag!
The massacre at Fort Pillow is a direct
cbullenge 10 ou Government to prove wheth
er it is in earnest or not 10 emancipating
slaves and employing colored troops
There should he no possibility OF mlsta kC
10 the reply. Let be action of the Govern
meni be as prompt aud terrible as it vii
be final Then The battles of this ce'G

Luke Iruetnan was bis mothers son

Sue Sumpter was ''neighbor gal"
And che was Lukey's sweetheart true;
To her he wrote no madrigal,
But courted her ''till all was blue"
He often called when shone the moon
And always Sunday afternoon.
One moonlight night, or day Of rest -
of which we are not well advised
Luke, in his go-to- meeting best,
And ''togs' by lovers lorn devised,
Determined she should ''hear few

Now Sue was standing by the Bars"
When down the lane Luke hove in sight
She jumped and run, with, ''bless my stars,

She store up stairs, tc change her gown.
And grease her hair and s'shck 1t down"
Luke soon came in--Sue soon come down
And "How -de-do" and smack went Luke I;
But Sue ''Eor spunk" put on frown:
Now, Sue, no more of that-now, Suke !;

Ayers Sarsaparilla


is compounded from tho most cffectual nnti-

binc virtues truly extraordinary in their effect
upon this class Of complaints i3 indiSputabiy
proven by the great multitude OF publicly
known and remarkable cures it has made Of
the following diseases Kings Evil or
Glandular swellings, Tumors, Erup-
tions, Pimples, Blotohes and Sores, Fry

Female Weaknesses, and, indeed, the whole
series of complaints that arise from impurity
of the blood. Aiinutc reports of individual
cases may be found in AYERS AMERICAN
ALMANAC, which is furnished TO the druggists
for Cratuitous distribution, wherein may be
learned the directions for its use, and some of
the remarkable cures which it has made when
nll other remedies had failed 10 afford relief.
Those cases arc purposely taken from all sec
tiuns Of the country, iii order that every reader
NAV have access to some one who can speak TO
him of its benefits from personal experience.
Scroftila dcprcsses the vital energies. and thus
leaves its victims far more subject to disease
and its fatal results than are healthy constitu-
tions. Hence it tends to shorten, and docs
greatly shorten, the average duration Of human
life. The vast importance of these Considcra-

We know the public have been deceived by

have been proven by abundant trial, and there
remains no question of its surprising excellence
for the cure Of the affecting diseases it is in
