Correspondence Of The KenOsha Telegraph
ATHENS ALA Sept. Alb,


Dear Telegraph:
Every arrival from the east brings US sdvices
in regard to the fearful plague, the Cholera.
1t RACES in Turkey, in Spain and lower France,
spreading death and destruction wherever ii
shows its horrid front.
A disease, not SC ia al in it's effects, perhaps,
but nearly as exciting, and probably outnum-
beripg the cholera in victims, is spreading
through the Southern States Il speak in refer
ence to the seeding states.) It's name is Nag
ger on the brain. Since the termination of tie
rebellion our white troops have been steadily
diminished, and from our noble army of mil
lion. we have remaining in tie field but frac-
tion of that number
The colored troops, on the contrary are still
kept in the service. That's all right So long
as we have attempted the experiment let us car
ny it through until our capital gives out. On
| the change being made, raising the slave to a
free man, and soldier, the south began to
evince dislike toward their former chattles
which has now eliminated in a hatred that can
| not be concealed.
From every direction we hear of negroes shot,
whipped, mutated or Otherwise abused by re-
turned rebel soldiers ard citizens. Parson
Brownow has published letter stating his
views on the subject, and if the loyal people
of the south carry out in fact has views, we may
soon look for q great change in the liberal
Hobby hor> e's gait OF the south
The people ofthe south are slow to realize the
altered condition of the negro. Ii will not be
long however, before they understand the mat
ter fully and assume their new responsibilities.
All they want is yfrmneSs shown, both by the
Government and the people of the North.
Nashville is now garrsoned by the negro
troops. This place viii soon be- and only yes
terday l was conversing with an old citizen,
rich, infu entail and formerly large owner of
slaves, who gave it bis decided opinion that
there world be collision between the citizens
and coiored soldiers should they be brought in
TO this section to enforce the laws, and more
over that he ''would go north before he would
stay TO be ruled over oy nigger," nevertheless
the policy has been traed on, and found to it,
Pockets, buttons. &c, are all correct all that is
wanting ie the suSpemders. The n, gre, here s ta-
king care of himself and hisslamily clothing and
feeding them and laying up for rainy days.
There are a few ''loaters" but we meet with
them full as often among the white population
of the sou h. The Freedman's Bureau is pur-
suing with vigor lis work of christianity. And
can see no reason for asking the question,
What shall be done with him 90 Let Inn
alone the south has lived for years with the
negro as q slave and how they must live with
him az free man
The railroads in the South are as fast as
practicable being turned over TO their former
officers and the wheels of Government are be-
ing geared and frightened up preparatory to
starting on their new course. This place has
just elected u thorough going out and out,
Union man, as delegate TO the capital, for the
purpose of ratfying and legalziDg the laws.
The South see what they have before them and
and seem to try to do rght-NoieaS roiens
