Mr. Editor-My attention has been called to an
editorial in the "Caddo Gazette" in which great in
Justice is done to the neighborhood Of Greenwood,
and in which false statements made Ggnoranty OF
course in regard to number Of young men.
The first sentence Of the article referred to is as fol-
lows "The asscmbage of number of colored peo-
ple at the camp-mccting held mt Greenwood during
the week. was the occasion for disgraceful attack
upon them by number of thoughtess Young men
from the neighborhood." The meaning obviously is
That a number Of y&ang living in the ncighbor
hood of Greenwood made Il disgraceful attack upon an
assembly of freedmen, convened upon the occasion
ferred to- This statement is false without mitigation
so far as can perceive except it be found in the g
norance OF the writer in regard to the facts in the
case The eiitor continues: "There was no great
bodily harm done the servants, but are informed
that their incry of which the colorCd people so
fond was sadly abused and that they were otherwise
maltreated. This is altogether wrong, and shows a
want Of both intelligence and refinement" If the
Young men referred TO should ever commit the ofenSe
laid to their charge, in the future they cannot plead
in extenuaon any want of intelligence for the editor
OF the Caddo Gazette gravclv assures us this IS all
wrong" Even those who have never read Plato, nor
Seneca, Paul, Paley, will be left without
cuse" for bath not the CaGdo Gazette given them
Outstanding. Yeasif the young men Of this neigh
borhood should abuse the inery of servants, Of
which they are fond the flithful public censor
must then saw that refinement of manners is often
found in persons of corrupt morals likewise enght
ened people do always live according the golden
rule. The editor continues "Nehcr is it an evil
dence Of the feeling with which the freed people
regarded at the south, for no southern gentleman
would think for instant Of intimidatiog and terri
fying the well behaved servant in mere wantonness."
number of young men, residing in this neighbour
hood have sufficient intelligence to perceive that in
this scnterce they charged, by implication, with
not being southern gentlemen" But as the charge
is made not in "mere wanonnncss,' but in consum
mate ignorance, intelligent and refined people think
they may with PROPHECY take no notice OF it.
Now Mr. Editor, the structures contained in the art
Gle referred to well merited by the perpetrators of
the awless in question: but the Young of this
neighborhood had neither part nor lot in the matter
On the contrary they promptly arrayed themselves on
the side of law and order and eudeayorrd to capture
the sacrgious disturbers Of public worship, who by
precpitate flight proved themselves to be as cowardy
as mean. The band of desperadoe5 referred to es-
capped By having fleet and well trained horses Taey
would do well to an honest living at home, lest
a worse thing come upon them Ard the editor of
the Caddo Gazette (beggng his parlon) for he is ian
honorable man" might do well to empl ~ ' local.
