of homicides among them by the whites are
districts where the troops are being With
drawn. The Judge has copy of the South
err, lSun, which says that if the Yankees are
alarmed at the killing of few hundred ne
groes in day, in States where they have the
protection of Yankee troops to large extent,
what will be their alarm after the departure
Of the military forces and the re-admissiop
into the Union of these States as sovereign
powers? We will then have complete or
ganization of militia in each county, which
will give the South standing army that can
bid defiance to the world.
