Working UP an Insurrection.


The perambulating Of such mischief
makers as WILSON and KELLEY through the
South, has but one tendency an fHtended
one nquestionably-and that Is to incite
insurrection among the negroes and render
1t necessary to perpetuate military des-
potism over the people. That the history
Of San Domingo Is in danger Of being re-
peated there, who can gainsay.
In the New York Times ofMaY s. there
appeared letter from a citizen Of Thomas
County, Georgia, from which we make the
following extract, az bearing upon the
point at issue. The writer says:
In the towns and villages efforts are be-
ing made to create distrust aud disatfectiOn
between the races, and to convince the
blacks that opposition to the whites IL the
most infallible way to receive every bless
ing here and hereafter. They advise their
fellows to have nothing to do with the
schools which the white folks get up; to
use no books which the white folks pro-
cure for them; and generally TO avoid the
counsel, control and influence of all those
who are not of their own color, They
have secret meetings at night, at which all
sorts of eXtraVagant actions are uttered
and advocated, and against all those who

athemas of the black apostles Of radical
ism, are thundered with all the force Of
DEGREES of accommodation. The colored
school system is being very adroitly used
for this purpose. Every step which is
taken by the itinerating superintendeuts of
education of the colored people is directed
to secure the negro vote for the Radical
party.
Witness the scenes in New Orleans, after

negroes, followed by the bloody work at
Mobile, when he reached that city, and
preceded by the riot at Richmond, when
WILSON was about, and his brother blood
inciter, HAYWARD, of Massachusetts, in an
nfammatOry appeal to the negroes, iucited
them to violence. The New York Tribune,
in noticing this occurrence, remarked,
"therc seem to have been white men in
that city who have given the colored peo-
pie bad counsel, which some of them have
been foolish enough to take" The Rich
mond Times puts the case in a more forci-
bic light, and says:
Within Il few days past this city has had
alarming evidences of the rapidly maturing
fruits of the inCendiarism which has been
so industriOuslY and iusidiously inCulcated
upon the minds of our negro population
by the malignant and INSCRIPTIONS dema-
gogues who are their advisers.
So resolute is the spirit of insurrectior
among the negroes that they openly avow
their reputation of the restraints of law
and, it is stated, threaten vengeance agains
the military, who so efficiently have pre-.
served the peace, which the blacks have
flagrantly violated. 1t is clear. too, that thu
situation here is understood at the North
The Northern press, with great unanimity
place the blame where it properly belongs
The patience of our people is subjected
to IA severe test but there are reasons Il
believe that their moderation will not b.
without its return.
In view of these facts how else shoul
these itinerants from the North be regard
ed than OF wicked incendiaries and black
hearted promoters of civil commotion an
hellsh war of races! Are they anythin
but the croaking ravens of rapine, murdt
and desolatiOn?
