THE WHITES PREPARING TO LEAVE

The WHITES PREPARING TO LEAVE
THE SoUTH.-If the negro supremacy
doctrines of the radicals are not
checked by the people of the North,
at the coming fall elections, it is
quite evident that before long the
whites of the South will emigrate to
the loyal States, or to foreign coun-
tries. A'letter from prominent and
distinguished South Carolinian con
tains this paragraph:
'There is utter paralysis in the
South Mt the near and inevitable
prospect of negro supremacy. The
white people of the country will not
be able to live here-it will be simply
lntolerable. Therefore, those of us
who can get away are preparing to
leave, although at present not many
are able to do so. You may expect
negro representation in Congress
from the South. The loyal league
associations have welded the negroes
into solid political organizations,
which defy the address and influence
of their old masters. The white peo-
pie will vote generally against con-
ventiOn-the negroes are q unit for
it.'' 'A.-
This extract shows the feeling at
the South, and it assumes u more Sc
rious aspect from another part of the
letter referred to, which states that
as soon as the crops are gathered and
sold, large numbers of whites will
leave South Carolina for other States,
where the people are not ruled by
negroes. This, then, is to be the result
of the radical policy. South Carolina
and all of the Southern States, where
in the blacks have majorities, are to
be deserted by all Of their wealthy
and intelligent population, and the
government of an immense extent of
territory will be left in the hands of
the very worst class of blacks, voted
for and supported by tho most ,ig-
norant, depraved, fanatical race on
the face of the earth. It is not to
be wondered at, then, that the vast
majority of the whites favor military
depotism to reconstruction under
the negro policy of the radicals.
The questions now at issue are being
fast narrowed down to these: whether
we shall have ten exclusively negro
States in this Union, or whether the
whites shall be the ruling race
throughout the country. at

The Winnsboro News, of Thursday,
contains letter from Colonel J. Fl.
Rion, on political matters. 1t is we'll
written, and ably, discusses s''the
sit,lation" in this State. BE will not
consent tobe classed as member Of
the Republican party, and exposes
very fully its iniquities and the dele
terious effects of its policy on the
whole country. and proves that it is
an anti-Southern party, opposed to
the principles of the Declaration of
Independence and the Constitution.
He gives some excellent advice to
both the whites and the colored po-
pulation +; advises all to register and
vote for Convention. While Col.
r. is not a for the Cpnyen-
tion, he will serve if elected. From
the whole tenor and tone of his letter,
we are convinced that the voters of
Fairfield could not send a better or
more honest representative to the
Convention. We want just such men
in that body, if it is to assemble.

The EARTH BURNNa.LSever
persons were in Corinth, on Saturday
last, who gave some startling accounts
of the earth being on fire about four
miles Southwest of Hamburg. Tenn.
We did not see the parties who gave
the particulars of this startling event,
but compile the following as the
substance of their representation OF
the facts: Mr.. Brooks, who lives
fourteen miles Northeast of Co.
rinth, had pasture in which was
pond of water about twenty five by
seventy-five feet, ard the water, dur
ing the summer, having. disappeared,
he cleaned off the ground to SOW it
in turnips. While burning the brush
from this piece of ground, the locality
that had been covered with water,
ignited from the burning brush, and
formerly stood had continued to
blaze brilliantly for the past ten
days. He, becoming alarmed and
fearing that his entire farm would
bel consumed and turned into an
embankment of ashes, dug bitches
around the burning space and filed
them with water, He has poured
large quantities of water on the burn
ing earth, but it did not extinguish
the flames. The smell from the
burning earth is represented as being
peculiar and marked.
The fire, it is said, consumed the
earth. or bituminous substance, to
the depth of twelve inches, and does
not appear to diminish its vigor.
If it should prove to be the oozing
of petroleum from the surface at that
point, it would indicate rich Or
bold vein of that valuable fluid. No
doubt some enterprising man will
at an early day sink shaft, to test
the question whether coal oil can be
found or not. .CorinM NewS, Sd.

A RIVAL OF MIR. PEABODY Mr..
Johns Hopkins, citizen of,Baltis
more, worth $1,000, 0O0,S has made d
gift endowing the Johns Hopkins
Hospital, for poor white~and coloredl
persons, and the Johns Hopkins, In
stitute, for educational @ purposes,
embracing also poor white and CO.
lored children, to- hive separate
apartments. Mr.. Hopkins is still
living, andadetermined, like George
Peabody, to see whilst living tie
good effects Of his'benevolent chari-
ties. Mr.. Hopkins is bachelor,
member Of. the Society OF Friends,
and about Mr.. Peabody's age. It is
expected he will make many more
large charitable bequests while alive,
that he may realize the good his vast
means may do. The belief is that
he will eventually donate his magnifi-
cent country place for public pur-
poses, and still project other grand
charities. His present income is
nearly or quito 100000 per annum.
Whilst he has many relatives whom
he will leave independent, yet vast
amount will be appropriated to be-
nevolent purposes. He is still an
active business man, and one of our
most useful citizens, having been
instrumental in greatly improving
the city of Baltimore.

The Rev. DIR. Wentworth, of Troy,
delivered sermon recently on the
text, Gail men are liars" He was
particularly severe on the newspapers,
charging that they had no regard for
truth, and would publish any false
hood that would increase their oircu-
lation and put money in the pub
fishers pockets. It turns out that
this Mr.. Wentworth is the author of
the recent letter published, attacking
the papers for indecent exposure of
his friend. the Rev. 8. III. Merrill,
the great undrowned clergyman, who
ran away from Pittsburg, and tried
to commit some gross and novel
crimes. People who abuse news

Effect OF the Amnesty.

We have already intimated our be-
lief that the proclamation of the Pre-
sident would remove all disabilities
from that class heretofore prescribed
for participation in the rebellion.
That all persons to whom the provi-
sions of tho amnesty extend, are
thereby enfranchised, and have the
right to vote ut all future elections,
there can be no doubt This OPT
nion is sustained by the National In
teQigemce,, the organ of the Presi-
dent. 1t always speaks by the card,
and its opinions are the reflex of
those of the President and Cabinet.
We extract the following significant
paragraph from its article on the eff
feet of the amnesty proclamation:
c''During the deliberations of the
Cabinet, yesterday, it is understood
that it became evident that, in the
opinion Of every member present,
the legal effect of the contemplated
amnesty proclamation would be to
relieve all persons included within
its terms from all disqualification,
as well as all penalties incurred by
their completely in the late rebellion,
and, of course, $50 far as the action
of the General Government is con-
cerned,) from disability as to the ex-
ercise of the right of suffrage. We
may, therefore, congratulate the
country upon the prospect of o
speedy settlement of all our difficult
ties upon principles conformable to
the Constitution, and in harmony
with our republican form of Govern
ment. That such will be it's effect,
no sound lawyer entertains doubt,
nor is it to be presumed that it will
be seriously denied by any consider
able number of respectable men of
the radical party in or out of Con-
gress.
In view Of this semi-official OPT
Mon, it is the duty of every South
ern man to subscribe to the oath spe-
Gifted in the proclamation, which is
made condition precedent to the
reception of the benefits of the am
nesty.
