The white people of the South are
becoming alarmed at the state Of
things brought about by Military
Despotism and the negroes. These
two relics of barbarity are sowing the
seeds of wrong and discord by the
acre. White and black knaves are
hatched by the flock, and life and
property are rendered more insecure
than if the South were inhabited by
Choctaws. Awar Of races will soon be
inaugurated through the christian ()
teachings of Wilson and Kelley, and
the meekness of virtuouS Stevens.
The lamb-like Sumner is whetting his
teeth for a grand cannibalistic crusade
against his "Southern brethren"
These Jacobins are having a gleeful
time over the prospect of their "loyaP
bloody work. 1t took their French
brethren nearly two years to butcher
one million Frenchmen, but there is
no doubt that when these loyal blood
hounds get TO work, they will masti-
cate this number in a month. They
will hire the negroes to do the butch
ering, while the white loyalists viii
follow to plunder and locate farms
and villages.
And then, after the ''rebel nest" is
cleaned out, and the buzzards have
removed the carcasses, some long.
faced christian, q in order to justify
his hell-borr desires and conduct, will
clasp his hands and turn his eyes
heavenward, and say that this is the
work OF the Lord that he and his
friends have only been the instru-
ments to destroy the curse of slavery
and for the determination of rebels.
Why cannot the Bloody Red Men on
our Western border enter this plea
too? Thad. Stevens and Charles
Sumner, the Robespierre and Murat
of America, have their doom written
in the history of France let them
read it.
We have digressed n little from our
immediate purpose, and now proceed
to lay before our readers an article
taken from the Augusta, Georgia,
Chronicle q Sentinel, calling upon
those who still love country more
than either negroes or party, to send
them help:

They are not amenable 10 the restrictions imposed
on the prominent men Of the South who are for
hidden, under penalty Of trial by military com
mission, from addressing their felow-citiEens
against the monstrosity known as the Military
Reconstruction Acts. 1t is true that few Of our
ablest and best men, our Johnsons, Hills and
Perrys have denounced these despotie measures,
and made strong the sinking faith Of the people.
But there are others who have been deferred BY
Radical threats from encouraging the people in
/ this hour Of deepest gloom and despondcncy--m
whose words would dispcl the over shadowing
blackness Of Radicalism and inspire the hearts Of
our people with hope and confidence In the rcstora-
