~ Ex.Presidsnt Pierce addressed the
democratic convention of New Hampshire a
few days ago. He spoke in warm praise OF
the Presidential policy. Mr.. Johnson, be
said, was 40 honorable, high. minded, patri.
otto magistrate; his message was an ad-
mirAble one, and he has gone on in way
that should satisfy most men who desire to
see what can be saved instead Of what can
be destroyed. His steps have thus far been
marked with courage, wisdom and states
mar. like forecast; if he continues to stand
where be 10, there is light in the future. We
are often asked when a change will come,
and be though. it would be made apparent
when people are brough. to look to some.
thing higher than the perpstuation Of party
power. 1t wonld be abject to despair of the
Republic, aad no true man would do it, come
what MAY. The eI.President, on retiring,
was 'hesrtity cheered.

ARITHMETIC FOR FREEDMEN "A cor
respondent Of the Chicago Times writing
from Louisiana, tells the following story
To illustrate the condition Of affairs in
many places, a good story is told Of a
scene which lately took place between a
negro and a Dutch lieutenant, who was
acting provost marshal. 1t seems that
the Teuton officer representing the majesty
OF the United States. in order TO make bis
Office pay, kept on hand small stock of
tobacco and ginger cakes TO sell to the
negroes. One day strspping darkey
poked his head in the door, and asked.
"Whar is the massa provost?" Veil vot

Well, l is quit workin down dar on dat

INVASION OF CLIFTON, WAYNE CO.
A late Rebel Colonel Warned..A Reb-
Ell Doctor Cut TO Pieces.

We have recently received informa.
ton to the effect that one evening last
week. party Of unknown armed men en-.
tered Clifton, in Wayne county, and rode
up to the house of Mr. Hughes, late an
officer in the rebel army and sent a mes
senger in, and demanded either that he
should appear at the door, or send out
bis coat which be had worn in the rebel
service. Believing that the latter would
be safest, be sent out bis coat, when the
men hung it up, and fred volley at it;
after which they sent it in. telling him if
he behaved himself henceforth. all would
be right; but if not, he would get the
next volley through the heart.
After leaving the house they went to
the residence Of Dr.. Fuller. who had
been in the rebel army, and who had on
one occasion solicited and obtained the
office OF executioner to shoot a Union
man. and called him out. On bis appears
snce they mounted" him with bowie
knives. and literally cut him to peices.
The party then left. Both Hughes and
Fuller had been connected With the rebel
Conscript Bureau.
1t is believed that the party were the
relatives and friends of the Union man
who was killed by Fuller, who was SO
anxious to play the executioner.

sOMEFACTs ABOUT THE COLORED

During the war, many planters in
North Mississippi. who had previously
left their plantations and settled at the
county towns for the purpose Of educating
their children, allowed their negroes on
. the plantations to do pretty much as they

Now! itis q well known fact, that, in
every case Of shis kind. the negroes acted
badly, aud turned out to be perfect nui'

resided. We know Of several instances

CoRDovA.-We had the pleasure. yester-
day. Of meeting with gentleman
who left the colony. on the second
inst. He says the day before be left, he
visited Gov. Harris at his hacienda, some
nine miles from Cordova, and found him
in bis shirt sleeves. busily engaged in
overseeing some fifteen natives, who were
planting coffee trees. The Governor is in
excellent health. and delighted with his
new home, which he is busily engaged in
putting in a state to grow coffee. the
principal article Of cultivation there, al.
though cotton grows remarkably well, yet
it is not so remunerative as the former
crop. Gems. Price and Shelby are each
on their plantations. some FIVE miles from
Cordova. and are prospecting finely, both
in health. and the cultivation Of their
lands. Gen. Magruder is located in the
City Of Mexico, as a Government agent,
and Gen. Stevens. who commanded a
brigade in Lees army. is Superintendent
Of the Vera Cruz and City Of Mexico
Railroad. and Major Watkins is figuring
as q General Superintendent Of telegraph
lines. This gentleman says there are
about sixty colonists at Cordova and vi
cinity. who have gone to work with a
will and zeal that is telling upon the
prospects Of the colony, which, he rep
represents. as being in flourishing con
dition. He met some thirty-fve or for.
,y emigrsnts at Vera Cruz, en- route for
the colony. At Havana, he also met
portion of the company from Alabama,
that had started for Brazil and been
wrecked on the Cuban coast, but who
bad changed their destination for Cordo-
va. Each colonist on bis arrival has a
deed to three hundred and twenty acres
Of land furnished him, and il he is the
head Of a family. he receives six hundred
and forty under the colonization system
adopted by the Government, Of which
Commodore Maury is the chief agent.

Grant and Sherman Sold Ont.

The redoubtabla Col. l.Wildes, Of whom
we had occasion to sa, something while
an officer in the 10th ,egiment, is out in
a long article in the Athens Messenger,
defining his position. He says that such
Generals as Grant and Sherman 'have
sold themselves fer price, to a traitor
President, and are trying to use their po-
sition to induce other soldiers to go and
do likewise" In the same article he
talks about political Generals" and
about "Generals interfering with the
ballot" when he knows that the principal
service performed by him, while in the
army, consisted in his attempts to get
votes for the party of "his master" We
had occasion to allude to Col. Wildes
some two years since in this paper regar-
ding the subject Of political Generals" !"
and are pleased that our remarks at that
time have at last had wholesome effect
upon him. He at last can see differ
ence between "the administration and
'sthe Government"

ngAnd We write as We do, simply be-
cause Mr.. Plants is an honest man, and
because as we think, the great interests
of the country demand that honest men
be sent to the Congress of our country
-Morgaa Herald, Aug. 81.
Very well, Mr.. Plants is an honest man
you say. Well if Mr.. Plants is an honest
man why does he not do as did Mr.. Hub
bard, member of Congress from West
Virginia, return to the Treasury the ST.
900 extra pay, over and above what he
agreed he would serve for when elected?
Hubbard is truly an honest man, but zoe,
and not only ace, but many others have
doubts as to the honesty of Plants. Fork
oyer the extra pay like Hubbard did, and
perhaps you may have cause to. blow your
horn about Mr.. Plants being an honest
man.
Many of our tax payers think this
thing of taking $4,000 extra pay for
about eleven months service is not alto
gether honest, and some of them call it
stealing.-Morgan Go. Conservative.
The voters of Monroe County fully
understand Mr.. Plants record, and intend
to astonish him on the 9th day of Octo-
Der.
The soldiers think that forty dollars to
their one is too great odds, especially for
an honest man to receive.

CoIored Mems Convention.

The colored people and Radicals have
been holding Convention in Philadel-
phia. The correspondent of the Ma
tionaz Intelzigencer thus describes their
procession:
"Gov. Brownlow was seated in an open
carriage, with Col. VIM. B. Stokes, and
now and then, as he was pointed out, was,
greeted with faint cheers. Gen. Butler
marched bare headed, on foot, with the
Massachusetts, delegation. He might
have passed unnoticed except that Bar
mum walked a short distance in front,
and announced from time to time, that
Gen. Ben. Butler was just behind, This
kept the General busy shaking hands with
the crowd. Just after him came the New
Workers., and here was the real interest Of
the procession. This delegation was ac-
tually headed by Fred, Douglass, sand
wiched between Theodore Tilton, editor
of the New York independent, and Sen
ator Ira Harris, of New York. They
were followed by DIR. Garnett (colorsd)
and Downing, New York colored man
genuine specimens of the genus African.
As this part of the procession passed
along it was cheered most Justify by me-
groes and whites. In fact, it was the on
ly portion of the scircus' that elected
grand applause"
