to-day? This old mother of States is to-
day in shame; she and her people have

and about a mile east of Eslava's bridge,
the scene of the murder of young Nc
Laughln on the next day.
These and frequent similar ouirages
have excited the people residing In the
vicinity of the place where they were
committed to an intense degree. And as
a great part of the people living in the
southern and southwestern portions OF
Mobile county are compelled to pass by
or near E,lava's bridge on their way to
and from Mobile, the dread which these
deeds have caused is widespread.
1t is true t6at the greater number OF
the colored people in this county are
orderly and well disposed. But there
remain hundreds, if not thousands, who,
refusing to work, depend for living
solely on what they can beg, hnd or
steal. OF these, it is patent that large
number are banded together, and seize
every opportunity to perform the most
desperate aud lawless acts. Nor are
there any means by which the citizens OF
Mobile county can throw the shield OF
safety around their persons or property.
Auy attempt to do so would be held as
an outrage against the manhood rights
of the blacks, and be proof positive OF
the insubordnstion of the white race.
Yet may be permitted respectfully to
represent that so anomalous and uu-
natural q state of things cannot long
exist. The normal condition of man,
and the only one long endurable by him,
is one of peace and security. War and
pillage is the exception, not the rule,
and can be endured no longer than the
passions can be kept aroused. A state
! of passive submission opposed by on
and the larger class, to active and ou'-
rageous aggression from another and al
| inferior class, is an anomaly that cat
result only from condition OF utter
, despair that can be but temporary, aud
sooner or later must give place to sudden
and terrible bursts of violence, the nstu-
raj result of long concentrated and un-
naturally repressed passion. d,
In conclusion, permit me to appeal
most earnestly, yet respectfully, to your
Exceleucy, as the guardian OF the peace
and prosperity of the people of Alabama,
to inquire into the condition of affairs in
this county, and to take such active steps
as Won may deem best calculated to bring
the vile perpetrators of the outrages
above set forth.to the bar of justice, and
by vindicatiug the msjesty of the law, re-
press the reign of lawlessness and terror
As an officer of the State, / have
deemed it my duty to appeal to you Off
cialy in this matter, in the firm hope and
belief that, by so doing, the safety and
welfare of our poor citizens residing be
yond the heart of the city of Mobile
would be promoted. At the suggestion
of persons having the peace of the coun-
try at heart, / have consented to allow
the immediate publication of this appeal,
believing that all classes should know
that deeds such as are herein detailed
would be brought to the immediate at
tention of the highest authority. This
knowledge, it is believed, may have some
influence in deterring others from the
com mission of like outrages.
l have the honor to remain, very re-
spectfully, your obedieut servant,

Great Forest Fires.

The Oregonian, Of September 2l, gives
the following account Of the forest fires
in Washington Territory:
A correspondent at Martins Bluff,
Washington Territory, sends us the fol-
lowing Information concerning the de-
side of the Columbia river. The fire is
more destructive and extends over
larger area than has ever before been
known. On the morning of the l4th, as
the family of our correspondent " ere sit
ting down to breakfast, q neighbor
rushed in and informed them that the
FIRE was rapidly approaching the dwell
ling. Leaving their breakfast untouched
they ran for place Of safety, and were
barely in time to escape being cut of
from retreat by the fire. They reached
the residence Of Mr.. Martin, on the bluff.
The woods for miles around the residence
of Mr. Martin were a mass of flames.
Men, women and children all went to
work with will to save the buildings
The mill and other buildings belonging
to Mr.. Martin took fire great many
times; one of the buildings had large
hole burned in the roof, and it was only
by the most strenuous efforts that any
thing was saved. The fire ran through
the orchard and burned nearly all the
fences on the place. Mr.. Justice, whose
place is half mile from that of Mr..
Martin, lost everything-his house, fence,
crops and everything completely swept
away.
The telegraph line is burned down for
I niles, and in some places the wires have
,een melted for several feet by the heat.
rhe wind created by the fire tore up fruit
rees by the roots. Mr. Burk lost some
fences, and had the hardest kind of work
to save his buildings. / learn that G.
Love had to sit up all night and watch
bis houses, ETC. Mr. Lewis Miller's place,
in the timber, is all burnt up-rails,
fences, houses, etc. John Bogarths had
hard time to save his place. The fire
travelled at the rate of at least FIVE miles
an hour for time in the dry timber
The fire is still raging, and there is no
telling the amount of damage it will do
The roads are filed with fallen timbe
The wind carried large pieces of bark
fully one mile; leaves, etc., we're carried
for at least three miles.

Fearful Condition of Affairs in the su-

From the Mobile Times. October Is. 1851

from the M ODile LINES, OctOper <oS looc.J
The following letter of Coroner Del.
champs, which was yesterday forwarded
to Gov. Smith, now in this city, gives a
truthful account of the lawlessness of
the negroes on the outskirts of the city.
Life and property on the outskirts are
insecure, and unless active and speedy
means are taken by the proper authori-
ties to check the evil, trouble will uu-
doubtedly ensue. There is a time when
patience and forbesrance cease to be vir-
tues, and that time has at length nearly
arrived. Depredations upon the prop.
erty of whites. murders, rapes and every
conceivable species of crime on the part
of the negroes, cannot be longer tole-
rated. Let the Governor look to it, and
look well, if he wishes to preserve peace
in this community, who, though law
abiding and ardently desiring peace. are
firmly determined not to be overrun by
barbarous negroes, urged on by carpet
baggers, scallawags and renegades:
MOBILE. October 50. 1858.
To His Excellency, Governor Of Alabama;
Herewith forward to your Excellency
copy Of the testimony sdduced at the
inquest held yesterday afternoon on the
body of Archie Mclaughlin. Other tes-
timony was offered, but being merely
cumulative, was not reduced to writing.
In bringing this murder most foul to
your official knowledge, cannot refrain
frsm representing to your Excellency
the tersble state of Insecurity, both as
to person and property, existing at pres
entiu this county, but more particularly
in and near the suburbs of this city. A
few facts plainly stated will enable your
Excellency to appreciate to some extent
the condition of our people.
Crowds of negroes, armed with guns
or pistols, Of all sizes, classes and char
acter, pour out daily from the city and
spread themselves over the suburban
districts, game being their avowed object.
| respectfully represent to your Excel
lency that the only game which is to be
found in the open fields and thickly set
tied districts hunted over by these game
stalkers, consits solely OF cattle, pigs and
poultry, and even these have now become
scarce.
The farms and gardens Of our market
men and others are daily ravaged, and It
is almost impossible for them to carry on
their business. A few days ago a negro
trundled a wheelbarrow to the vicinity Of
the city cemetery, killed COW, skinned
and cut of bind quarter, and with this
load trundled back 10 tovn, leaving the
balance as prey for vultures. So much
fer property.

/" General Meade vindioated.

From the Milledgeville (Ga.) U Union.I
la county remote from this, very
ardent and classical young lawyer was
addressing mixed multitude OF white
and black, favoring Democratic princi-
ples and nominees In the crowd was q
long, handy -shsnked, rather bald-headed,
and elderly negro man, who had waited
on his young master, through several
campaigns, till the close OF the war, but
who, since the surrender, had become
intensely Radical. Bigoted and noisy,
he was leader among the blacks, and
fond of controversy. He stood up con-
spicusus in the crowd, with his hand to
one ear, so that no word of the orator
could escape him, for he had given no.
tice that he intended to make some
pints s" with them Dimicrats, if they
didn't plump the track" So full OF
rhetoric and law was the speaker, that
the old negro had almost despairtd of
comprehending asy portion of the dis
course, so as to make "a pint" But
at last, the speaker firing up with his sub
iect, aud rising on tip toe, exclaimed: !:

l. The decision of the judges of award, as to
merits of subjects. shall in all cases be final,

all cases, in the opinion Of the judges, possess
real and high order of merit.
3 All articles and animals offered for pre-
MUM must be on the ground on the day pre-
ceeding the earliest day appointed for the judges
to act on the class to which the article or animal
belong, or they will not be allowed to compete
for premium.
When two subjects of the same kind pre-
sented for a premium, are deemed by the judges
of equal merit, and Of such high degree CT
merit that the premium would have been award
ed to either one, if the other had been absent,
the premium will be divided between the two
competitors.
