Negro EQuaIity illustrated

A great many Radicals are strongly
in favor Of Negro Equality-in favor
of-Negroes voting, holding office, and
in favor of the Negro children attend
inc the white schools, and a great
many are opposed to all this. The
following is a good story relative to
s1eepinq equality, which the editor OF
the Mississippi Enterprise Star tells OF
an old friend of his, well known
among the Methodists on Pearl river,
in that State, and which we hope our
Republican friends in Vinton county,
who are in favor Of Negro Suffrage,
will read;
GA friend has just stepped in who
oives us the following as a practical
Fest of the sincerity of the newly con
verted Radicals. We recommend its
general adoption by those Of our col
ored people whose votes and influence
the Radicals are endeavoring to obtain
by a regular system of equality hood

ANTI.ABoLITIoN TRACTS. For the past 30
Years the AbolitiOnists have deluged the
country with innumerable books, pamphlets
and tracts, inculsating their false and per-
nicsus doctrines. Little has ever been done
in the same way towards eOunteracting
their influence, except what has been done
by those bold and able writer's, Messrs. Van
Evrie, Horton & Co., New York City. Thou
sands now feel that such publications are
indispensibly necessary. In order to sup
plv what il is believed is wide-felt want,
they are now issuing series OF "Anti-AoO-
lition Tracts" embracing concise discus
sion of current political issues, in such 3
cheap and popular form, and at such mere
ly nominal price for large quantities, as
ought to secure for them very extensive
circu lation. We have received two Of the
Tracts, "The Six Species Of Men, with cuts
representing the types of the Caucasian,
MOngol, Malay, American Indian, Esqui-
maux, and Negro" and "Free Negroism; or,
Results of EmanC; patton in the North, and
the est India Islands," which should be
carefully read by every voter in the United
States. D
Those wishing any Of these Tracts can
leave their orders at this Office. ,..

Mr.. OULD AND THE EXCHANGE OF
PRIsoNERs "A special from Washing
ton Of July "a, says: The ex-rebel
Commissioners Of exchange, Robert
Ould, has entered into the controversy
raised in Congress relative to the ex-
change Of prisoners during the war.
In letter published to day he says:
II did offer in August, 1864, to de-
liver the Federal sick and wounded
without requiring an equivalent, and
urged the necessity of haste in send
ing for them, as the mortality was ter
fi6le. / did offer to deliver from 1O,-
900 to $4,000 at Savannah without de-
lay. Although this offer was made in
August, transportation was not sent
fbr them until December. During the
interval the mortality was perhaps at
it's greatest hight. fl had not made
the offer, why did the Federal author
tiles send transportation to Savannah
for 10000 or $4,000 men? If made
the offer based on the equivalent, why
did transportation carry down for de-
livery only the same 5000 menS' = 10y

sA DIREFUL NEGRO 0UTRAGE.-We
have the particulars of an outrage,
which of late has been somewhat
prevalent, the ravishing Of a white
voman by a negro. The crime was
committed about twelve miles up the
Biz Sandy river, and the victim is a
sfs. Riley, a respectable married wo-
man. The brute watched the husband
leave home, and she had no protection.
She, however, resisted to the utmost,
and was finally knocked down sense
less, when he committed the diabolical
act. The wretch is identified as one
Allen Hanson, a fugitive from West
Virginia, where it is alleged he com
mitted a similar crime about five weeks
ago.
"a man answering the description Of
the ravisher has been arrested by Dep
uty Sheriff G.. w. Castle, at Louisa,
Kentucky, twelve miles from the scene
of the outrage. Mrs. Riley has been
sent for to identify him, and if he
prove the william, the excitement is so
intense that he will have but short
shrift.-CEn. Eng. J am oT
