ALABAMA.

MONTGOMERY, December 1.-THE I'D
rertiser contains information of the ar
rest of Geo. Shorter, a negro, of this
city, charged with being the leader of the
recent insurrectionary movement in Bull
lock county. Shorter claims to be from
Illinois, or one of the Northwestern
States, and says he was sent by Radicals
there to organize a government for the
South. The blacks gave information Of
his whereabouts, and he was captured by
whites and blacks. When the deluded
negroes of the neigbboring plantations
heard of it, they gathered in considerable
numbers and clamored for his delivery
to them for summary punishment.
They would have put him to death, but
the whites interfered and persuaded
them to let the law take its course.
Shorter was imprisoned in the county
Jail at Union Spring. A letter of Shor-
ter's to negroes, whom he called officers
of bis government, has been published,
showing the nature of the organization
he had effected. In his letter, Shorter
decreed death against all those who
opposed the revolutionary organization.
Captain Bruce, agent of the Freed
mans Bureau at Greensboro, Recently,
took the keys and liberated number of
prisoners, confined by the proper civil
authorities.
At the sheriff sale, to-day, real estate
and railroad stock sold at remarkably
low figures. The land sold at five to
twenty cents per acre, and the railroad
stock sold at ten cents on the dollar

aar The Bolivar (Tenn.) Bulletin,
speaking 10 the interest Of the people OF

which we call the attention Of merchants

IL there is no error in the statement II
demands attention; both in the interest
Of the railroad and the city Of Memph's'
"On all sides there is general com.
plant in regard to the exorbitant rates OF
freight charged between this point ana
Memphis. MERCHANTS and farmers are
continually asserting that the tariff Is TOO
high. In order TO call the attention. OF

deplorable fact, we will say that II costs
half as much to ship bale OF cotton

that merchant here can ship car load
Of stoves from St. Louis to Bolivar for

peace. 1t is Q standing mensce. If
white persons should parade our streets
with colors flying and drums beating,
and make the still hours of night hideous,
with drunken orgies, demoniac yells,
and insane boasts of being freemen in
the sense of unlimited license, mingling
devilish threats and panther screams
with the strains of martial din, alarming
the old, the feeble, the nervous and the
timid, while good men sleep, we should
say they we're disturbers of the public
and private peace, aud that if there was
any authority of government in the city
it was duty to make arrests And
when the blacks are doing this thing,
night after night, through all tho city,
we insist that the same duty exists, and
that it shall be performed. If one por-
ton Of the people is permitted to play
hell and raise the devil day and night,
so should be the other. And, if the
police functionaries are so in the interest
or the fear Of Little Beecher and his
squad, that they will not suppress these
disorders, it is time to organize force
which can and will.
