Gen. Bowen and the New Era

Last weeks issue of the Ne,c Era, gives us
an insight into the fact iftrue) that General
Bowen's prediction for stock raising" is of
no recent date, but can be traced back to his
military life. This Is the man who is now
such warm friend of the poor Freedmen
We hope the negros of Crawford will not fail
TO read the article headed An Episode in the
Life Of Gen, Bowen" and learn the feelings
he had for the Freedmen during his shoulder

indecent to occupy place in our columns,
but as "DELL' has put il IN, we hope the ne

age in opening their eyes to the true charac-
ter of the man who now loves them 50 ,ceU
and wants their votes so bad Read it Freed
men Of Crawford County, and take warning.
1t does not seem possible, to us, that the
charge can be true, and no man of particle
of respcctability. should allow the stigma of
such an accusation to rest upon him day, If
not true. If not emphatically denied, we
warn the negros to discard the person and
refuse to associate with man who would
make such disgusting proposition to one Of
your colored brethren and sisters.

W. " RlHns.

Ilr following correct auI 'ory scnsl
hle article from the pen of an old and
highly esteemed friend DIR. +. L. ABEL,
on the Tenderness of the teachings of the
Radical Missionaries that are now prowl
ing about the South, We find in " OU
Country" an ably edited journal, publish
ed at Middletown, Connecticut of August
3lst We ask our colored friends TO
read il, and he admonished before it is
too late. The political demagogues that
are SO honicj in their expressions now,
will not know you after the election has
passed-thcn you will be left to paddle
your own canoe
WAR or RACgS.--There is prevailing
opinion among intelligent thinking men,
that the inevitable tendency of Radical
teaching and tactics at the South, will
end in war of races. There is not only
danger, but the calamity is certain to hap
pen, if the blacks will allow themselves
TO be arrayed against the whites, by the
abolition teachers Of the negro Bureau
and the abettOrs of that institution, who
go South solely to secure office. flame
gro joins, votes and acts with party
that proposes to disfranchi.e his old
master and white neighbors, and threatens
not only to degrade them from their po-
litical freedom, but to rob them of their
property and means of support, there is
not meekness enough in the christian re-
ligion to keep the opposing parties from
fight. There are a thousand instincts
of human nature which would impel the
white man to hold all such as enemies to
be opposed and overcome. This is the
individual view, and it applies to the
whole of both races-ten millions Of
whites and three millions of blacks.
The course now taken by the negroes
tends to make every white man their bit
ter enemy, except those inhuman wretches
who, for selfish purposes, are dragging
the blacks to this fearful pass. The
southerners have an honest interest in the
welfare and happir ess of the negro race,
ana they grleye to see them putting their
destinies in the keeping of political shys-
tiers, whose only object is to control them
for purposes Of political ambition. If
the end comes, as it surely will, as the
laws that govern cause and effect con-
tinue to operate, the blacks will be the
greatest sufferers, for the white race,
east, west, north and south, must be in
the end on one side, against the negro,
when they attempt to degrade the Car
ca sian. If this comes, the negroes may
read their fate in that of the Indians.
determination will be the result! But
there is no necessity for this deplorsDle
fix. That proselyting, meddlng yankee
is the serpent that causes all the trouble,
who is continually kissing his treasoninto
the ears of the blacks, and shame and
death and misery will be its end

Death of Gen. James Yell

The Pine Bluff Dispatch of the 9th
says
1t becomes our sad duty to record the
death of an old and valued citizen Of Ar.
kansas.
Gen. James Yell died after n short i'll.
ness on the night of Wednesday, the 4th
inst. ; yielding up the spirit to God who
gave it with calm resignation and without
murmur, retaining his mind to the mo
ment of its fight.
For thirty years past he was promi-
nently identified with the history of the
State. An attorney by profession, the
criminal law was his specially and in
counsel was ever more successful in de
Tending the unfortunate criminal He
was also well known as politician for
several years he was a member of the
State Senate, afterwards the candidate of
the American or Know Nothing party for
Governor and prominent member of
the Convention in 1861, when the State
Of Arkansas seeded from the Union
He was elected by the Convention,
Major General of all the State forces,
beating both of his opponents, Gen. Pike
and Col. Bourland combined.
Gen. Yell was man of many virtues,
man Of many friends and in many re-
spects very remarkable man, always a
useful and law abiding citizen, always
equal to the emergency The country
can i'll afford to lose him at this time but
death is no respecter of persons. He has
paid the debt Of nature, the debt we all
must pay
He leaves a large circle of friends to
regret his loss, many who will keonly
feel that his place cannot be supplied :;
let his faults be forgotten, let his virtues
and manly qualities be emulated.

Registration
We have observed in several recnr

eB- We have observed in several recent
numbers of the Ne,o Era, that the Editor takes
every occasion to give Sam White, one of the
delegates to the 3lst Convention, a dig under
the fifth rib. Now, as Sam has moved on to
this side of the river, and is one of us, as they
say, we are not disposed to pass these assaults
carelessly by. il Is true, he got caught,
thoughtessly, in the bad company Of design
ing men, two or three weeks since; he will
recover from that. But the great, redeeminp
trait in his political experience, was his cut
ting loose from DELL and his internal clique
at Fort Smith. As far as we know of him, he
is well disposed, honest old darkey and
wishes to do what he thinks Is right, before
God and man. The Era may infer, that we
are not to quietly sit still and see our colored
friends, on this side, abused without stint,
without word in their behalf.

Prescription.

Our worthy United States Marshal is
excmplifying the spirit which actuates
the " Loyal League" fraternity-by pro
scribing men who do not belong and de.
cline to become members of that precious
association of office seekers. The Mar
shal is prominent member Of this con-
cern, and takes occasion to force men to
become bound by oaths to support men
of his choice or leave his employ
ment. Buck Stoveall, was employed bv
Dr. White, the United States Marshal, as
a guard at the Jail, but unfortunately, the
Doctors solicitations could not bring
Uncle Buck to see the piety Of the " Col
ored League so the Doctor unceremoni
ously dismissed Buck Not complaining
OF any neglect Of duty on Bucks part
but simply in a spirit Of pure intoler
ance and prescription, because he did
choose to exercise the right Of a freeman
and vote as he pleased Buck has always
been known as true Union man too.
No rebel complaint affecting him We
learn young CALLY PuELPs has been dis
missed for the same cause. The mar
shal having got his foot in dirty mess,
he is determined to have no one about
him that is not in the same filth. The
marshal's Office has been made politi
cal machine long enough Open your
eyes, freemen of Crawford.

GtrThe New York Tribune, which
aims to tell the plain and unvarnished
truth in clear and practical way, uses
these words:
The President has triumphed. Gen.
Grants protest has been unavailing, and
the order assigning Hancock to the place
Of Sheridan, and ordering Sheridan to
proceed at once to the department of the
Missouri, is issued More than this,
Grant has been compelled to yield to the
removal Of Sheridan and Sickles, but sur
renders his right to control the district
commanders. In his order of August
18th he directed Sherdan's successor to
continue all orders he should find in force
in the Fifth district the new order framed
by the President and countersigned by
Grant gives Hancock full power to re.
woke all that Sheridan has done. He
may replace Throckmortou in the gov
emor's chair, and make Monroe again the
Mayor Of New Orleans. The practical
point with which the people are concerned
is that Gen. Grant admits the right ofthe
President to annul his directions to the
district commanders, and that Mr.. John
son sweeps aside his interference.

Gen. Ord and the Camden Eagle.

1t will be recolected that short time since,
the office Of the Camden Eagle was entered in
the night and the presses and type destroyed
by the United States troops stationed there
In the Memphis dispatches of the Little Rock
Gazette, we find the following:
Sometime since the Office of the Eagle news
paper at Camden, Arkansas, was DESTROYED by
soldiers led by one Major Pierce. Col. Gil
bert, commanding post, wrote to Gen. Ord in
which he said the ccnsure ofthe press directed
against the servants OF the people may be en-
dured, but that Gen. Ord and the military
forces detailed to enable him to Hftf0rm his
duties, are not the servants Of the poople of
Arkansas, but rather their masters, and it Is
felt to be great piece OF impertinence for
newspapers In this State to comment upon the
military under any circumstances whatever"
Gen. Ord, in his reply, says: "Your letter
of the 10Th ult., in which you attempt to iusti-
fly an act of party OF soldiers who, misled by
an oficer, fOrciby entered citizens house
and destroyed his property. is received. You
will please explain why this act was not pre-
vented by you rs post commander. and if the
requirements of the 32d article of war have
been complied with. Your assertion that the
military forces are not the servants ofthe peo
pie of Arkansas, but rather their masters, is
unjust both to the people and the military and
untounded in fact. The military forces are
servants Of the laws, and the laws are for the
benefit ofthe people. The assumption that a
party of soldiers could, at their own option,
forcibly destroy citizens property and commit
gross violation OF the public peace would not
be tolerated under Napoleon"
