THE FRUIT RIPENINe.
Fortress Monroe dispatch of Friday

A Fortress Monroe dispatch of Friday
says:
Three negroes entered the house Of
VIM. Foster, few days since, seized
the family and shot them in an out
house. They then robbed the house,
and aiterward Mr.. and Mrs Foster,
their daughter and her infant child, and
fired upon younger daughter, who was
escaping with a child, wounding the
daughter and killing the child. The
assassins escaped.
Here is the fruit of the radical policy.
These assassins drew their murderous
inspiration from radical teachings. What
is to be done2 Is such a hellish crime
the beginning Of that dread war Of races
so fearfully apprehended at the South
and so recklessly driven on by the NORTH
A fearful mistake is about to be com
mitted. Assassination Of women and
children by black rufians will be met
with a fiery vengeance which nothing
can stand. You had better 90 slow.

SANTA ANNA SHOT.

News comes through the Western pa

order of the bloody Jsurez. II the re-

Friday, or Saturday, or Sunday, it has
escaped our notice 1t should have ap-

We suppose, however, that the soul OF
Santa Anna has gone to join the soul oil
Maximilian. He had no particular
claim or the sympathy Of the American
people, but was not 80 bad man as
many of his countrymen who now swing
HIGH in the hammock of power. His
history is eventful, and not without
brilliance. His career is thus briefly
stated by contemporary; de was the
commander of the Mexican army that
invaded Texas, and which was defeated
at San Jacinto. He was taken
prisoner by the Texans, and narrowly
ESCAPED with his life. Many years OF
his life have been spent in exile, and ne
has alternated from supreme authority
in his native land to expulsion from 1t
with strange facility and frequency. de
was in exile at the commencement oil our
Mexican war, but was permitted by our
Government to return to Mexico. Once
there he took possession, organized large
armies and made vigorous war, suffering
defeat at the hands OF Scott ut Cerro
Gordo, and about the city of Mexico,
and from Taylor at Buena Vista. de
resided on Staten Island recently, for
some months, leaving but a few weeks
ago to take advantage Of the Mexican
situation. He returned to the country
in behalf of which he issued so many
pompous proclamations, once too often.
He was man of very considerable
ability, and his name will stand more
con spicuous in the history of Mexico, up
TO this time, than that ofany other native
of the country.

MISSISSIPPI.

The Columbus Inder Of recent date
says of Mississippi sentiment: Returns
from Rankin, Covington, Newton, Jas
per, Copiah and Marshall indicate that
in each of those counties the white vote
will preponderate. We are led to be-
lieve too, from information we have re-
ceived, that majority against con-
vention will be obtained in all of them.
There is no disputing the fact that a
reaction against the submissive and
humble spirit which prevailed among
all classes during the spring is going on
throughout the State. If any proof Of
this were wanting it could be found in
the columns of Republican journals.

THE PAST AND THE PRESENT.

History is full of contrasts which are
at once curious and instructive. The
New Orleans Times calls the attention
of its readers to one: A little over half
a century ago one Andrew Jackson, then
a Major General commanding the United
States forces in and around New Orleans,
was served with process of court while
a foreign foe was still in the neighbor-
hood of this city, and was arraigned
before Judge Hall for supposed con-
tempt. The old Hero ofthe Hermitage,
though made Of sterner stuff than most
men. had but of "envy, the vice OF
republics" and yielded at once to the
majesty of the law. 1t was at time
when the passions of men ran high.
jackson was the idollof the people, and,
right or wrong, they were ready to sus-
tain him in any measure he might adopt.
Under such circumstances, the Judge;
though he found his illustrious prisoner
guilty, yet hesitated to assess the line
which he considered due, for he feared
an outbreak of popular Indignation.
Thereupon, the laurelcrowned hero
the man of iron will-arose and ad-
dressed the court in substance as follows :
MAY it please the Court! This arm,
which defended your beautiful city from
the rapacity of a foreign foe, is also
ready to defend this court in the dis
charge of its functions. ASSESS the Gne.

QUITE TENDER.

A Western paper says they are very
tender in northern Illinois about hang
ing murderer. Page, notorious as
guilty of one of the most horrible muir
ders on record, is found guilty of man
slaughter, because some of thejury were
educated up in conscientious scruplss
against hanging. He murdered his wife
and her mother, and tried to kill ayoung
girl he did not know. There were no
mitigating circumstances but some that
aggravated the enormity of the crime.
The proof was absolute. The verdict
is an outrage upon society, and makes
law a mockery.

REACTION.

Radicalism is OVERRIDING itself. The
Springfield, Mass, Republicdn-dyed in
the wool-holds this language:
1t would Of course be pleasant to have
Republican delegation from Kentucky
in Congress, but such delegation would
not represent the people of the State,
and it would be no advantage to the Re
publican party to accomplish this object
BY illegal and unfair means. Indeed, the
sooner the idea is exploded that the party
can be maintained by brute force the
better for the party and the country. The
politicians who make this their reliance
are too weak and short.sighted to have
influence with any party.

FOR FLOATER.
GEN. II. IL. GLENN.
GO SLOW.

We have bad news from Franklin and
Athens, in this State. Serious collisions
have occurred between the whites and
blacks, but the full facts have not come
into our possession. Whatever they are,
the circumstance is to be deplored. We
know that the Conservatives have no
disposition to Cypress the colored people,
or deprive them of any right which the
law gives them. They have appealed to
them with view Of promoting harmony,
and warned them against the poison
which bad white men are constantly dis
filling into their minds. In many places
this warning has not been in vain. But
in whole districts, the reverse is an
nounced. The Radical programme Is
wicked, it is cruel-cruel to the white
man, and doubly so to the negro. His
ignorance of cause and effect, and OF
history, renders him an easy convert to
any doctrine that appeals to his passions,
The circumstance that he was
once a slave, is suggasted as a reason
why he should turn against his late mas
ter. His punishments when in state OF
servitude are suggested, with certain
knowledge that they will produce dis
position to retaliate. Thoroughly i'm
bued with a spirit of revenge, his transit
through the dark doors of Loyal League
is easy. What oaths he swears there, we
know not, but sounding through the
trump of rumor, they are dreadful
Thus deceived, thus embittered, it is
unite natural that he should ally himself
TO those who really care no more for
him than for beast of burden, but find
him a convenient instrument with which
to work out problem of political power.
Sincerely is be to be pitied. 1t is difh-
cult for other than Radical emissaries to
reach him. The story they tell, is ford
in the highest degree. Lands, homes,
fortunes, are set before him and dazzle
his fancy. So monstrous a proposition
as that of driving the white men out OF
the country and turning his race into
possession, excites no sentiment of
horror or glimpse Of injustice. In pris-
. modic colors so carefully kept be-
fore his vision, no dark danger
Aaunts a shadow. In the gamut of the
