Wendell Phillips is the foremost leader of
the Radicals In his Birmingham Mass. J
speech, some time ago, he thus referred to
the Constitutional Amendment, and the OBJ
fects of the leaders of the Radical party:

and he will admit any policy to secure that end.
For that he would even give suffrage to the negro.

no principles--he has selfish purpose to carry

maintain the harmony and predominance of the

its purpose is to tide over the Fall elections. Our

A SENSIBLE VIEW.-Just when every Radi-
cal in the country is threatening another
civil war and the leaders of the party are
acting in such a manner as to provoke civil
strife, by defying the authority of the Gov
ernrnent and trampling upon Constitutional
rights, the following. questions, suggested by
the Worcester Mass Palladium, Radical
paper, are well worthy of careful considera-
ton. Another civil war will be much more
terrible in its consequences than the last, and
will notbe confined to one particular section
of the country. Brownlow, speaking in be-
half of the Radical faction, threatens "war
of determination" if the South refuses to
accept the Radical policy and war of ex-
termination it will be, but the exterminated
will not be the Southern people. The boast
ing, brutal, cowardly scoundrels of the But
Schenck Mcneil school had better pause
and reflect before they provoke another con-
test. Says the Palladium:
In case of another Civil War, the question is not
first: How would the country sustain it, and re-
cover from it ?-but. rather, What would become
of al the essential interests of the present hour
What would become of the government bonds,
that have been put out so freely that almost every
man you meet is able to put his finger upon one

Despite of sneers as an ';alarmist." (for which
we care as little as for the idle wind), we have to
say that a political contest now, among the peo-
pie, bears no resemblance in its character or con-
sequences to even the most enbittered contests OF
Eother days between Federalists and Republicans,
Wings and Democrats. And therefore we say
that, of all times this is the one for the highest
exercise of the sober judgment of the whole Amer
ican people. And if the President is s'bold, bad
man, then so much more delicate is the position
Of the country! Eminently is it the time FOR the
''sober, second thought !" rather than the passion
that speaks and strikes at the same instant fol
having won the victory over treason, we ought tc

CRUEL TREATMENT.--Much has been said and
written about the cruel treatment Of Union pris-
oners, says a Montana paper, but very little has
ever come to light with regard to the treatment of
rebel prisoners in Unien prisons. We propose to
Law before our readers in this brief article some
facts on the latter subject that have recently come
under our notive. There is now at Virginia City
q young man named Daniel D. Banks, who has just
arrived from tho States across the plains, who is
slowly but surely perlshiug with consumption, at
the age of twenty-five caused by Starvation, and
other cruel treatment he received in the prisons of
Camp Chase and Rock Island. He belonged to
Gen. Morgans command, and was captured in
Ohio. He was imprisoned nineteen months in all;
six months at Camp Chase and the rest OF the time
{ 1T Rock Island. He was guarded six months by
loyal nigger troops, who shot down every prisoner
that approached what was called the '.let line."
The rations of the prisoners was one~fourth pound
Of beef once aday, which barely Kept them alive,
and so terribly did hunger prey upon them that
they were forced to forage fer rats and mice ia
the prison, which on being caught were instantly
devoured by the inmates, who were all the time
almost ready to perish with famine. And, altho'
citizens outside were disposed 20 relieve the wants
of the poor starving prisoners, yet their kind Of.
fers were rudely and peremptorily refused, and
the prisoners left to the starvation ratonS furnish
ed them by those ia charge of the prison, and
such rats, cats, dogs and yeTmin as they could
catch, and crumbs they picked up from the ground.
kAll this transpired in the midst of plenty There
waS no pTeteXt, as in the case of AnderS0nvllfe
that there were 10 provisions to be had; that She
provisions were exhausted. It was the result Of q
studied and ll-planned policy of cruel and fn>
human treatment intended to starve the victims to
death! 1t is with no desire to pander to the NOR
bid appetite of depraved humanity that we give
publicity to this case of inhuman conduct. We
would gladly, for the fair fame and honor of our
country and race, let the pail of OBLIVION cover up
and obscure such willfuI and infamous conduct.
but candor and due regard to facts compel us to
show it up, SO that the perpetrators. may be held
world in all time to come. And the subject of
this special case of cruelty is but mere boy now,
and was but a mere child then. He is doomed by
fate and cruelty to an early grave. This is the
story of the dying youth whom any one may see
now so reduced by the seeds OF destruction that
be cannot speak above a whisper. he lisa printer.

HosTILE INDIANs.--The curse of all new
countries on this coast, and of mining regions
especially, is the great danger constantly to
be met with from bands of nomadic, depre-
datory Indians, who pounce upon sparse set
Elements or scattered parties of miners, and
plumber, destroy and kill. Too frequently,
when complaints are made of these savage
incursions, there start up psuedo philanthro-
pists, who either have authority themselves,
or have influence over those who are in
authority, and these labor and distort facts
to make it appear that the whites were the
aggressors, and the savages only SO many in
nocents who acted in pure self-defence in
protecting themselves in the maintenance Of
their hunting grounds and treaty rights
This class of false philanthropists generally
assume, prima tacie, that the object of the
white man is the plunder of the Federal
Treasury, and with this view they incite In
dian wars or raids. Let it be shown to these
peculiar humanitarians that no such object
could possibly have actuated either settlers
or miners, to whom peaceful, uninterrupted
possession of their clearings or claims, OF
steady labor in them, is the first and Chief
desire prove to them that the loss of life OF
property, the maimlng or injury, sustained
by the whites, at the hands of these savage
foes was entirely unprovoked, and bring
uncontradicted testimony to this
end, from Government officers and others
and notwithstanding all, these pseudo philan.
thropists, two thousand miles away, will sci
themselves up in superior judgment upon the
matter, insist that their ideas and conjectures
are correct, that all testimony to the contrary
is false, and then declare that the "noble red
sons of the forest" were fully justified in all
the atrocities and depredations which they
had committed It is almost pity that The
men who think and speak thus, and who
from their high places in the Government, al.
ways vindicate and champion the murderous
savages, are not subjected to the perils anG
hardships of the pioneers and frontier set
tiers, so that little terrible experience nigh
show them the worse than falIacy of theiI
present views. But, we suppose, until some
such time as the effectual conversion of tha
school of pernicious and self-conyinced East
ern humanitarians, our frontier people will
be subjected to all the hazards of unprovokec
and unprepared for attacks from marauding
numbering savage bands, without hope 0
other relief from the Government than tina
which is furnished by the appointment, pres
ence and decisive action of worthy and ener
getic officers like Gen. Crook, and their owl
strong arms They must suffer all losses
without expectation of redress at the hand
of the Government which compels them t
contribute to its support, but in return as
sures to them no protection of life or prop
erty. There is great change required, il
this condition of things in this far Western
region, but we almost despair of ever seeing
it accomplished. e- - r

From the Savannah Republican. Oct. IL
Early yesterday morning the various
roads leading into our city were thronged
with deluded and ragged negroes, who were
en- route to attend the confiscation- home-
stead meeting, announced to be held in
Chippewa square. On Sunday night, the
poor, misguided people, who had been led
astray by the "Great Wauhoe," " kept watch
and ward over his house, patrolling and
picketing the neighborhood for two squares
on every side. AS the hour for the meet
ing drew on, the colored people commenced
to congregate in Chippewa square in large
numbers, all of whom appeared to be coun-
try negroes from the plantations, but few OF
