AN INVASION or NEGROES.
The smiling Valley Of Virginia, Gen,
eral Grant-lending himself TO the most
infamous suggestions of Black Repub-
tlieanism---has ordered to be made =
barren waste" The expulsion Of the
women and children from Atlanta, the
murders of soldiers in Missouri, and the
savage determination of Black Repub-
licAn -fanaticism at Washington, are all
combining to darken the conflict of the
sections into one of fierce revenge -
The refusal 10 exchange prisoners OF
war, and the horrible policy OF resting
the prospect of conquest on the steady
progress of killing and manning sll thu
able-bodied men of the South, are co.
| operating with other causes Of the same
cruel character. in degrading The war
into one Of indiscriminate slaughter
Ia the name of God and humanity, in

of all the proud memories of our fathers
must we go on thus in a descent which
will certainly end in the horrible 81 &c

work of impossible conquest, threaten
Us with fearful reprisalsY The country
which witnessed the orderly forbear-

surged, and reared, and leaped up, iH
voiceful vengeance, from the burning

no grounds for apprehension that the
poisoned cup which the Sheridans and
| the Grants, aud the Shermans are pre-
senting to the lips of the South, may
not be pressed, with even more savage
spirit to our own Our fears may well
! teach US mercy, even though the Ad-
ministration may lead the world to sup.
pose that our humanity has been re.
/ placed by the passions Of wolf or the
promptings Of a devil
The arithmetic Of killing and wound
1 ing has worked for these States with
/ terrible fatality. The eonscriptious Of
the South keep full pace with all our

has nov, doubtless, an army much less,
numerically, than our own, the proper
ton of that force 70 ours, is fully as
high as that which she has been able
to maintain at any stage Of the war
At home she is, doubtless, able to hold
her own; but, goaded to madness, she

Gagged tiger The revenge into which
she is stung by a savage ferceness un-
known to civilized war, there is good
reason to fear, she will make every eff.
fort to slake in invasion.
