Negro Riot at ShreVeport-Threc Citizens
KilIed-Twenty Negroes Killed and

NcS 70 ASAOC a. hAcC CAIAEeh
KilIed-Twenty Negroes Killed and
Wounded
On Wednesday last serious difficulty
occurred on the Texas road, a short dis
lance from the town of Shreveport, result
ing in the death of three white men and
nineteen negroes. The following facts we
have gathered from various persons who
have arrived here since last Friday night:
A driver of a wagon, being intoxicated
fired his revolver in the air, and Immediate
ly afterwards was seized by a party of ne
groes who happened to be in the immedi-
ate vicinity, and carried to a grove near
by, where he was bound with ropes to a
tree. Upon the suggestion of a few clear
headed negroes of the party. in few min
utes the man was released. At this mo-
ment a few negroes from an adjoining
plantation came up, and without word Of
provocation fired upon and killed Mr..
Brownlee and Messrs. OgGen and Thomp-
son, citizens of Caddo parish. Upon hear
ing of this state of affairs the citizens of
Shreveport turned out en- nadsse and pro-
ceeded to the scene of outrage. About
nineteen negroes, supposed to have been
in the affair, were killed, hav-
ing first from their quarters fired upon the
citizens as they came down the road
When the steamer Right Way left Shreve-
port last Thursday, everything was quiet.

North Carolina

In view of the result of the recent State
elections at the North, it becomes more
Importation North Carolina to give Dem
ocratic majority than ever. Her strength
is now more than ever required to insure
the election of our candidates, and failing
in that, to give our people that confidence
and knowledge of their strength, to enable
US to rid ourselves of the present obnoxious
officials now in authority. This contest
has never been with US mere struggle for
the division of spoils. Even more impor-
tant considerations than an economical
administration of the Government and the
reduction of the taxes, or the payment of
bonds in gold or greenbacks have and are
actuating us, and must urge us forward to
victory. "With us" says the letter of in
vitation of the South Carolina Democratic
Executive Committee to the Hon. JOHN
QUINCY ADAMS to address the people of
that State, it is no longer a question of
"party, but a question of social life. -
How much more is this true in this day Of
defeat than when hopes of victory cheered
us onward.
In North Carolina it is indeed question
of social life with which We are contending.
Defeat to us will add to the revolution of
our civil government that of our social re-
lations as we'll. And while we have yet
much to hope for ultimate success in the
general election, we have every incentive
dear to men to urge US to crown our State
standards with success. We can and we
must be triumphant. Let US but carry
North Carolina in the interests of law and
the Constitution, and it will give new
lease to business and bring prosperity,
following upon the certainty of redeeming
our beloved State from the hands of those
fast sacrificing her honor and welfare to
seinsh purposes. It is in our power to
achieve success, and it requires but uni.

North CRTOlin a.

Independent of the general result OF the
Presidential election the importance of
Democratic triumph in North Carolina can
not be over ESTIMATED. Our people, who are
Jealous of the honor of the State and inter
ested in its welfare, have only to consider
the deplorable condition in which we have
been placed by Radical success, to appre-
ciate this fact in all it's proportions. We
may look to any department of the State
government, from the highest to the low.
est, for the proof of the necessity of reVo-
lutionizing every one. From the EXecu-
tive, who falsely ana basely lends himself
to the lowest purposes of party, to the ig-
norant and malicious tool who does his
dirty work under the protection and by the
aid of Magistrates commission, all are
burning disgraces upon the good name of
North Carolina. Our Executive office has
been disgraced and our Judiciary polluted
by the criminal neglect of our own people.
Our Legislative Halls have been converted
into den of thieves, and our Senators and
Representatives in the Congress of the
United States become disgrace to our
State through the fear or negligence of the
Intelligent and virtuOus citizens of
North Carolina. Thirty thousand of our
registered voters proved false to their
State at the recent election-false to their
friends who were disfranchised-fa false to
the honorable renowE of their ancestors
false to the good name and reputation of
North Carolina in permitting the destiny
OF their State and the welfare of her citi-
zens to pass under the control of the ignoble
party which is now in power.
A victory in North Carolina in Novem-
Der will be the sure forerunner of the de-
feat and utter route of these people in our
next State election. We can purge the
Gubernatorial Office of the man who now
disgraces it, and depose from the Senate
rial seat the adventurer who gives it to Meth
er talent, character nor dignity. We can
rid our judiciary of the ignorant, and in
some instances. corrupt, mon who now
trample the ermine into the filth and mire
of party politics. Wo can turn out from
the Legislature the thievish spectators who
are robbing our State of its substance and
refuse to tax our people to pay the wages
of their corruption and sin. In word,
we can restore to North Carolina some of
the reputation which has been sacrificed,
and make her name again revered at home
and honored abroad.
To do this we have only to turn out in
full force upon the Sd of November. Sue
cess then will insure victory in the next
State election. Let us, therefore, do our
duty irrespective of other States. Let US
save North Carolina, although others may
be unable to resist the tide of anarchy
which is sweeping over them.

The New cotton Crop.

A very fine quality Of cotton of the new
crop this year has just been brought to the
New York market from Carroll parish.
Louisiana. It was sold Immediately at
forty-six cents pound. It is called the
Peeler cotton, and has long, fine staple,
approaching that of the famous Sea Island
cotton. It is different product, however,
and, as it was grown in the interior and in
the great cotton region of the Mississippi
Valley, we suppose it can be raised where
any of the ordinary staples are. The Sea
Island cotton can only be grown within
short distance from the sea and in par
ticular locality the supply, consequently,
is limited. If the Peeler cotton should be
generally cultivated it would make great
change in the market value of this great
American product, and might revolutionize
the manufactures of the world. This par
ticular kind of cotton was discovered three
or four years ago in an accidental manner.
Mr.. Peeler, planter in the Mississippi Val
ley, found among his ordinary standing
crop plant bearing much finer and
longer staple than the rest. He carefully
saved the seed, which he planted the next
year, and year after and until he had seed
enough of the new variety to sell to his
neighbors. Thus it spread and acquired
the name of Peeler cotton. No doubt it
will be cultivated hereafter more extern
sively, as it has realized such high price
in the market. We may expect very soon
large supply of this years cotton from all
parts of the South This will contribute
vastly to relieve the necessities of the
Southern people, to improve their condi-
ton, and to stimulate trade with the North.
We may say now that as far as the material
interests and prospects of the South go,
the tide has turned in their favor. With
peace and continuance of such industry
as the mass of Southerners have shown
the last year, they will soon become rich
again.

Be2utIeS OF ErceIonn

A freedman named Joe, formerly owned
by the late James Edwards, was found dead
on Tuesday last in the camp of freedman,
Celestin Nicase, near Victor Ladner's.-
This Celestin, prominent here at the late
election on the Radical side, employed old
Joe to take care Of his camp, and allowed
him to die of starvation. There is not a
drop of drinking water within a mile of
the place, and the poor wretch had not q
morsel of food for several days. While he
was the slave of white man, he had his
regular rations Of meat and sugar, coffee
and tobacco. Free, and hired to mulatto
Radical, he dies of starvation.
A year ago a friend Of ours. who had lost
a large fortune by the unlawful emancipa-
ton of his slaves. found this same Joe sick
and starving on the beach. He applied to
the Freedmen's Bureau in his behalf, for q
few dollars out of the thousands it has
wrung from the people, but could not get
a dime. He fed him for three months at
his own expense, during which time the
grateful freedman skillfully plundered his
cornfeld, his garden and his poultry yard
He recovered his health hired himself first
to one freedman and then another, getting
poorer every day, until at last he fell into
the hands of the Radical leaders, the mu-
latto Celestin, and then, for the want of
food and water, he died all alone ! So ends
the history Of a freedman, a soldier of the
" Grand Army" a Loyal Lacquer, a Radi-
cal voter, who firmly believed that he would
get his masters land and the mules to
work it.-Bay 81. Louis Gazette.

Grapes.

We have fine Indication of what is to
be achieved in the grape culture by the
large shipments now being made to this
and other cities from the vineyard of
Messrs. Hansbrough Il Greble, of Roam
oke. We have already noticed their large
crop. 1t is no less fine in quality than
abundant in yield. The stores of the fruit
ers and confectioners in this city make q
fine show of them. They are of the Ca
tawba variety, and are exceedingly deli
cate, juicy, and sweet--far superior to the
imported Malaga in every way, except,
perhaps, that they will not keep during
winter. A finer table grape hardly grows.
The country has yet to be educated
somewhat in the use Of the grape, and there
must be q created demand for the.manufac-
ture of wine before the grape-tiller will be
fully rewarded for his labors But this
education and this demand will grow with
the increase of production. There will now
be no obstruction to the important pursuit
of cultivating the vine, we are sure. It
concerns society deeply-in so great de-
gree will it promote comfort and temper
ance. We trust none of those who have
given their attention to this branch of in
dustry will despond or relax their energies.
They will triumph, most assuredly, and
will have, besides the reward of pecuniary
compensation, the reflection that they have
wrought revolution in domestic life that
entities them to the gratitude of society.
