Appalling Atrocitiesi
We clip the Louisville (Ky.)
Democrats introduction to the ac-
count of the New York Worlds
correspondent of recent fearful at
trocities Upon the "poor contra
band"
Genius will show itself amid
all surroundings, and among the
ingenious corruscations we have
none to exceed the brilliance of
the Raleigh correspondent of the
Associated Press. Stirred by a
noble rivalry, he has resolved to
Guido the other correspondents,
who have been busily engaged in
endeavoring to Influence the Nor
thern mind by depicting the cruel
ty of the Southerners to freed
blacks. He has written q letter,
which is a settler. and one to make
a dyspeptic laugh. We give an
extract, as we find it in the New
York World:
"Judge Carter, who has return
ed from an extensive trip though
the South, states that the cruelty
to the freedmen, and the homicides
among them by the whites are
increasing to a fearful extent.
''For the most trivial offences the
poor blacks are, hung up to the
forest trees by their thumbs, and
Judge Carter assures us that while
in this position they are frequent
ly stuck full of pine slivers, which
are set on fire. Judge Carter saw
portions of one freedman that had
been subjected to this treatment.
The missing portions had been
manufactured into sausages. The
wife of a notorious secessionist,
residing at Pelican Turnout, on
Saturday deliberately butchered
one of her servants for attempting to
eat an apple plucked without per-
mission from the orchard. As
fast as the children are born they
are thrown into wells; and so a.
larmingly extensive has this prac-
tice become that in one section
Guerrilla's Retreat-the wells
were all choked up, and many of
the whites, by stroke of retribu-
tive justice, had died of thirst.
Judge Carter passed through the
great pine woods south of Raleigh.
On every tree at least one negro
was suspended, as ofton by the
heels as the head /; and sometimes
there were so many freedmen to
pine that it resembled a banyan
tree. The returned soldiers are
the worst class OF the population.
They spend most of their time in
shooting negroes; many of them
assert that they keep in practice
by popping over two or three
freedmen every morning before
breakfast.
"a large number of blacks were
invited TO party, given by an ex-
STAKEHOLDER. They were all poi
soned by the wife of this person,
who administered arsenic in tea,
with which she literally supplied
them.
"The Judge has seen copy of
the Southern Sun, which says that,
if the Yankees are alarmed at the
killing of a few hundred niggers a
day in States where they have the
protection of the Yankee troops,
what will be their alarm after the
departure of the military forces?
The South will shortly have a
complete organization of the mill
tia in each county, which will give
it a standing army that can bid de-
fiance to the world. The chief
labor of this army will be to
slaughter thenegroes. Once killed,
they are to be corned, and snug
gled North i'll cotton. When o.
pened, the Yankees Continues the

that it is impossible to smother

Do Rats trouble YOU ?
Mr. N. O. Wallace !.

What reply do You make TO the
foregoing query? None, I pre-
sumo, as none but ''human rats"
are ever found about printing or
editors office. The fare is too
slender for the four-legged depre-
dators. Well, perhaps some of
your readers are annoyed by them,
and are DESTROYS Of getting rid OF
the pests.
Some years ago l was much
troubled with rats. Every part of
my premises was overrun with
them. Cats were "no whar;' dogs
couldn't reach them, and as. for
shooting them, that was out of
the question. They were eating
me up and something had to be
done, Or | should have been non
est inrentus. In looking around for
some means for their destruction,
came across the following meth
cd, which / carried out to the let
ter, and with most glorious results ;
in fact, l gave them pills. Pills
and powders, you know, kill more
people than almost anything else,
and why shouldn't they kill rats?
No reason in the world. They
are just as effectual in the one
case as in the other. Here is the
receipt for making them:
Take equal portions of wheat
flour and powdered sugar intimate
ly mixed with one-sixtieth part Of
that weight of dissolved phospho-
rus-say one-quarter of an ounce
Of phosphorus to one pound of SUI
gar and flour. Cold water should
be added to make the mess man.
ageable, and the pills finely rolled
in dry flour, and kept secluded
from light and air.
A couple of pills may be thrown
into each rat hole, or any quanti-
ty left on a plate in a dark situa-
ton, by which the double object is
attained of attracting the animals
by the luminousness of the phos-
phorus, and preserving it from too
rapid evaporation. The pills
should be replaced as often as eat
en-, and that without grudging, as
although the slain may not be
found, it may be relied on that
j :severy bullet had its billet"
| / made the application as di-
rected, and l persevered in it until
l cleared my premises entirely Of
the long-tailed rascals. No do
nestle animal will eat the pills
but fowls. While l was applying
the pills ! lost a fine drake, which
l attributed to his natural propen-
sity for quack nostrums. He took
pill perhaps.
The foregoing is, in the main,
the preparation used by those per-
sons who traverse the country,
and for certain solid considera-
lions pretend to drive cut the rats
by some hocus-pocus or legerde-
main. They drop about the place
infested some dainty bits to
attract them to a suitable place
They then give the pills, and as
these produce intolerable thirst,
the rats are seen running to the
water, where they die from ex-
cessive drinking. r.

The NIaoER vAoAREs OF THE TRIBUNE.-We
never can fasten the Tribune down to the con-
stitution or the law, and hardly TO common
sense. It appeals to the people Of the South to
give the suffrage to all the negroes; but with
what kind Of grace does this come from jour
nal published in New York, a State that does
not permit any negro TO vote who does not
own property Is it reasonable, or even de-
cent, to require the South to go further in
this than New York goes! We have indicated
the classes of negroes that may, perhaps,
receive the suffrage; but II will require
time for them to get II, and they
must get 1t in q constitutional way. How
ridiculous it is, then, to rave on such SUBJ
ject-to require South ern men 10 give more
than Northern men do, and to attempt to force
the question ahead without any constitutional
lines or limitA

REBEL Contributions TO REBEL CoIABORERs
IN New YoRK-A CALL Upon OLD TAMMANY.-
We understand that at or about the time of our
Mayoralty election in 1868, certain parties in
Philadelphia and Baltimore, sympathzers with
the cause of JEFF. Davis, raised the sum of forty
five thousand dollars for certain political
purpose in this city-that twenty thousand of
this money went into the hands of the Gunther
peace faction, and twenty-five thousand into
the hands Of the Tammany war democracy,
such as they were, and that the result, very
much to the astonishment of the uninitated,
was the defeat of Boole, war democrat, and the
election of Gunther, peace democrat, as Mayor
of New York. Now, the astounding develop
ments made in that little affair Of Ben Woods
twenty-five thousand from the Jake Thompson
rebel Canadian fund last summer, suggests the
propriety of an inquiry into the financial ope-
rations alleged to be connected with Mayor
Gunther's election. BY way Of beginning,
therefore, we call upon the Tammany
sachems to give us little light How many
votes were drawn away from Mr.. Boole by that
rebel contribution of twenty-five thousand in
behalf Of "peace-otany-price" from Philadel-
phia and Baltimore, and how, and by whom,
and to what parties was this money distributed! !!
A fair answer to these questions will do for q
commencement.

RECONSTRUCTION ALL OvER.-Reconstructio
is in progress everywhere. We are reconstruct
ing the Southern States, reconstructing public
opinion in Europe, and President Johnson is
apparently reconstructing the North and the
democratic party. He may, in fact, very likely
reconstruct that great party North and South,
making it great and pure organization, on
national anti-slavery basis He already refuses
to pardon those Southern politicians That were
in the rebel Congress, thus showing disposi-
ton to use power that, employed with wise
discretion, will insure national patriotic mo-
tives in all Southern politicians. There are
also some odd signs Of the times in his rcla-
tions with Northern men. It is said that the
other day he admitted John Van Buren to a
satisfactory two hours conversation, while lie
kept Governor Andrew, of Massachusetts,,

A CASE FOR OUR CRY CoUNCrIs.-During the
last two or three years considerable sums of
money, in various ways, have been drawn from
the city treasury, and from the spoils and plum
der of the city democracy, to the support Of
various discreditable political projects and
agents, including Ben Woods Daily Ne,os.
Enough is now known of Ben Woods financial
associations to justify, nay, to call for an inves
tgation into the sums of money paid from the
city treasury, in every shape and FORM during
the last two or three years, towards the support
OF Ben Woods rebel newspaper. The facts
and the figures are wanted for the Information
of our loyal taxpayers, and there must be at
least man or two among our Aldermen and
Counclmen sufficiently bold and honest to de-
mand the production Of the facts and figures.
Loyal citizens and taxpayers have the right to
know how and how much they have been
feeced to assist the financial operations Of Jake
Thompson.

TERRIBLE SwINDLNG IN THE C0RPoRATIoN.-
The amount appropriated for the Corporation
advertising for the fiscal year lS64-5 is about
sl00, ,0OO-and probably not quite so much; yet
there is fully million paid out for this pur-
pose, though Of course under different pretexts,
to few obscure newspapers that no one reads,
and very few ever hear Of One paper alone,
which has literally no circulation outside an
area of few hundred yards of the publication
Office, gets $25O,o0o of this sum. This ma
chine is run by the Tammany and Mozart men,
and some members OF the Corporation, who
divide the spoil between them. Is 1t not time
that some great change should be made in the
city government to stop such swindling as this!

eighteen millions taxation raised for the sup
port of the municipal government fully one
half is wasted, squandered and stolen.
