MORE RADICAL L1Es.-Forncy's Chroni-
Gle of yesterday says:
"a correspondent in Macon, Ga, writes
us an account Of an attack upon congre-
CATION Of colored people, in the vicinity of
that city, while holding prayer meeting
on Sunday evening the 2Sth ultimo. The
asSaiants were armed with shot-guns,
which they fired indiscriminatcly into the
assembly, wounding thirteen men and five
women and children. Captain N. S. Hill,
sub-commisSioner Of the Freedmen's Bu-
reau AT Macon, was appealed to, and imme-
diately made requisition on Colonel Graf
ton, the post commander, for sufficient
force Of troops to arrest the perpetrators
of the outrage. The rcquisition was CON-
piled with, and three Of the ringleaders in
the assault secured, but turned over to
the civil authorities without reporting to
the bureau commissioner. On Monday
they were arraigned before two justices of
the peace, but Captain Hill learning from
| the physician of the frecdmens hospital that
| one of the wounded "a woman) was about
to die from the effect of her injuries, Or
dcred postponement Of the examination.
Our correspondent says: Although this
is crime that would shock the feelings of
your northern men, it is treated with laugh
ter in this lawess community"

For the Yorkville Enquirer.
A MEMORY AND A MORAL.
BY REV. HENRY r. DICKSON.

One April day when playful winds
Beneath cheerful sky were free,
With bounding pulseI rambled forth
And joined their freedom on the lea.
So soft the air, so sweet the sky
With calm clouds floating 'thwart the blue,
That at this hour, tho years are gone
Their memory wakes fresh and new.
No book, nor talking mate miss'd,
AL nature utter'd fuller speech;
For her fond friends, the humblest bud
Hath kind voice to cheer or teach.
So brightly pass d some careless hours,
With light and fow'rs and fancy blest,
When with the seasons frequent fate,
Dark storm-clouds muster'd from the west.
The mild winds checked their idle glee,
The birds gay music sank In gloom;
The yery flowers with timid care
Bent down their bold and happy bloom.
And I, in sympathetic pain,
From the change landscape turned away
And with weak and falling faith
Look'd for no farther light that day.
So it's with Life-an April day
So my fair friend, twill prove to thee;
And the sure sequel of its light
Some chilling storm and shade will be.
But in light, which natures wealth
OF generous blessing cannot give
The eternal sunshine God will shed
Freely on them who Christ receive.
Earth may the ante-chamber prove
With Heav'ns o'erfowing lustre bright,
Till welcom'd to the inner room
Weknow forever storms nor night.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1867-04-25

LYING IN BED.-It is often question amongst
people who are acquainted with the anatomy and
physiology of man, whether lying with the head
exalted OF level with the body is most wholesome.
Most, consulting their own ease on this point, ar
que in favor of that which they prefer. Now, al
though many delight in bolstering up their head
at night, and sleep soundy without injury, yet we
declare it to be dangerous habit The vessels
through which the blood passes from the heart to
the head are always lessened in their cavities when
the head is resting in bed higher than the body
therefore in all diseases attended with fever the
head should be pretty nearly on level with the
body; and people ought to accustom themselves to
sleep thus, and avoid danger.--INedicaI Journal.
