The New Rebellion.

IRON Ehe ~. Y. Ift0hfle.
There was, some years ago, in India, tribe
since put down by the strong hand of the Gov
ernment. The hereditary business of this
Oriental Ku-Klux Klan was homicide, and rob-
berry was its constant recreation. 1t waylaid
unsuspecting travellers, and having knocked
them on the head, or strangled or stabbed
them, it concluded by rifing their carpet-bags.
These pleasing professors of the fine art of
murder, although extremely enthusiastic, and
even tanatically devoted to their trade, did
not publish newspaper; and in this respect
the thugs OF Alabama are rather in advance
of their Eastern prototypes, being, indeed, the
first organization of banded murderers in the
world which has arrived at the dignity Of
an organ. The Tuscaloosa Gala Monitor
Or. Randolph, edito) is curiosity in its
way, and is just the journal which the East
ern Thugs would have printed, if they had
printed any journal at all. We must pre-
mise of this agreeable sheet that it proudly
bears the name of Blair and Seymour at
the head of its homicidal and incendiary
columns. 1t openly avows that should
these persons be elected to the places for
which they have been nominated by the
Democratic" Convention, the work of whole
sale lynching at the South will begin. In
order that there may be no mistake about the
methods to be employed Gas the editor is
pleased to say 'on the Fourth of March, 1862"
the Monitor gives a rude wood engraving in
which two ''carpet- baggers" are represented
suspended by the neck from a tree, with the
legend, "Hang, ours, hang !' The genial
Randolph adds-"The unprecedented reaction
is moving onward with the swiftness OF velo-
cipede, with the violence of tornado, with
the crash of an avalanche, sweeping negroism
from the face of the earth. The happy day of
reckoning with these white-cuticle scoundrels
approacheth rapidly. Each and every one
who has SO unblushingly essayed to lower the
Caucasian to degree even beneath the African
race, will be regarded as hostiS SUI generis, and
be dealt with accordingly, if found hereabout
when the time is ripe for action" The Monitor
is good enough to give us q particular descrip-
tion of the moduS Operdndi, as foa&ows;--
I'VE candidly believe'that thepicture, given
to our readers n satorG. correctly sApresents the
TIC foes of our land who shall ihaye the folly to
| remain down South after the ides of March.

After this exhilarating description, which is
very much aided by the wood-cut above men
toned, the Monitor calls the public attention
| to =" scalawag justice OF the peace named A.
II. Sealy, of Hiokmans Beat" who has "dis-
charged rascally negro from custody" and
suggests that Sealy and Jack (the negro dis
chsrged) be turned over to the mercies of a
Ku-Klux Klan, or some other good society pro-
tectorate." This mild hint to band of bravos
to commit only couple Of murders comes, it
must be remembered, from a sheet enthusi-
astically devoted to the election of Horatio
Seymour, and which proposes after his inau-
guratiOn, on the 4th of March prox., to hang
without judge or jury all Republicans, includ-
ing "any bad Grant negro who may be found
at the prOpitious moment"
In order to prove that these ruffans are
perfectly capable of executing the atrocities
which they recommend in public journal, it
is enough to show, by their own exultant con-
fessions, that they have already executed the
like. Thus the Monitor says:-"Five noto-
riously bad negroes were found swinging. by
the necks to limbs in the woods OF Colbert
county, a few days since. They had been
guilty of making threats against the whites u
If threats were capital offense, pray how
long would "R. Randolph, Editor, escape
strapgulation Here is another specimen Of
the Monitors persuasive ways-
