Dominion" like the merriment Of the
damned, before we observed the premoni-
tory symptoms Of that war Of races
which must come if Radical ideas and
Rump policy are to prevail The negroes
Of Kingdom One have formed vigilance
committees, and probably acting by
the advice of their white Radical allies
of the Hunnicutt stripe in Richmond,
are notifying white citizens TO leave that
portion OF the negro New Nation, on
pain of death or other penalties vaguely
limited at. Mr.. w. A. Monroe, a promi-
nent citizen of Richmond, was made the
recipient Of the following epistle:
RICHMOND, Va, October 25. 1867.
We, the colored people of the city Of
Richmond, having formed vigilance
committee, warn you TO leave the city in
| forty eight hours after receiving this
notice. We are aware Of your hostile

political party. If your family choose
| to 90 with you they can do so, or they
can remain, we will not interfere with
them. If you do not heed this warning,
you will have to abide by the conse-
quences. After you have spoken of Mr..
Hunnicutt as you have, we are fully de-
termined that you shall leave the city at
the expiration of the time given you.
BY order of the Committee.

On the same day Mr.. Barnes, Franklin
street, Richmond, was ordered to pack up
and leave and on the following day Mr.
Robert Briggs, shoemaker, on Twelfth
street, was ordered to vacate Richmond
in forty-eight hours, the order being
couched in precisely the same language
as that addressed to Mr.. Monroe.
A dispatch to the New York Herald
says that several more citizens of Rich
mond have been ordered to leave that
city for speaking disrespectfully of Hun
ncutt and the Republican party, and that
on the 29th and 30th armed negroes were
kept on guard in front of Hunnicutt's 8
Office, preventing any one from passing
on the sidewalk.
Another dispatch to the Herald Of the
3lst, states that Hunnicutt is reported
to have told the negroes in Richmond
who had been discharged, that, if refused
employment, to apply the torch to the
dwellings of their late employers. 1t is
the opinion Of the best informed citizens
that municipal election under the
present regulations in Richmond will
occur within sixty days. Ifthis be done,
| the city will be turned over entirely to
| the Radicals and negroes
The New York Tribune and kindred
journals have boasted loudly over the
grand political victories achieved in the
Southern States, atoning, in their esti-
nation, for the losses the Republican
party has suffered in all the Northern
States voting during the year 1867. Our
readers and the white men of the country
will soon be made to understand what
the Hunnieutt Radical. Rump. p.nigger vic
tories achieved in Louisiana, Virginia,
Alabama and Georgia signify, and learn
to their cost the extent of the villainy
wrought by so-called loyal" men
There is danger, imminent, deadly, full
of bloody horrors, looming ahead and
in the near future.

the hour of retributive justice comes,
and the impudent niggers fall like grain
