themes seemed most prominent-frst the noble

mined churches; and secondly, the demands

Legitimate Fruits Of Radical Party
Teaching.

It being one ofour duties, we have, on
several occasions given our readers par
tial accounts of some of the many afro
cious outrages that are being committed
by the allies of Radicalism upon white
females. This is the first time we have
been compelled to say that one has ac-
CURED in our midst.
On Friday evening of last week, as
respectable white woman, named Nc
Dowell, was walking along the Nation
al Road about q mile this side of Wash
ington, she was overtaken by q negro
named ellison, who asked how far it was
to Cambridge. She replied: about eight
miles from where they stood. Before
she had finished the sentence the black
fiend struck her in the face with his fist,
telling her to the ground. He then
dragged her off to the side of the road,
and commenced choking her TO prevent
her from raising an alarm. In the
meantime o man came along on horse
back, and heard her groans, which he
supposed came from an owl or some
animal in the wood. He had gone but
q few PAGES when he discovered shawl
and bonnet lying in the road. This
aroused his suspicious, and he turned
back TO where he had heard the nsise.
His arrival was timely, for the negro
had not yet accomplished his hellish
object, and hearing the horse come
nearer and nearer, he jumped and ran
down through the wood. The stranger
soon found the poor woman, lying in an
insensible condition. He raised her up,
and as soon as she was able to move,
helped her to neighbOring house. Her
face was much swollen and bruised, and
the marks of the negro's fingers yet
plain upon her neck.
Esquire Eagleton was notified, aud a
warrant was issued for the arrest of Gill
son, who was found at Senecaville,
where he has a brother living. He was
brought to the County Jail on Sunday
morning last, there to await his trial,
which will probably come off at the
next term of Court, commencing on the
Dist inst.
Aside from the blow in the face, and
being severely choked, Mrs. Mcdowell
sustained no other injury.-GHerHsey

How Southern Radicals Treat Mod
crate Republicans

We have already published details of
the attempt to assassinate Mr.. Hayes OF
the Savannah Republican. His life has
been again threatened by negro mob.
The Republican of January 4th says:
Yesterday afternoon the negro Brad
ley appeared on the Bay, and observing
the editor of this journal talking to a
gentleman, walked up to and spoke in
sultingly to him in reference to the al
lusions made concerning Bradley
speech, and was ordered away. He left,
and in few minutes returned at the
head of gang of negroes, and created
a disorder in the street in front of our
office, and with his hand on a
large revolver threatened the life
of the editor, Mr.. Hayes. He was
abusive and incendiary, melting to riot
and disturbing the public peace. An
appeal was made to the civil authori.
ties for protection, and Bradley left. In
the course of fifteen minutes he reap
peared at the head of a larger party OF
idle and dissOlute negroes, collected in
the streets, and renewed the same dis
orderly and riotOus proceedings, cOntin-
uing his hoisterous threats against the
life of Mr.. Hayes, and challenging him
to cross Bay street. He then walked up
to Whitaker street, and was followed
by Marshal Wayne and James Stewart,
clerk of the council, who arrested him
and turAed him over to police
man. The crowd was dispersed
and Bradley taken to the barracks
Upon being searched, he was found to
be armed with one of Smith & Wesson's
largest sized reyolvsrs, heavily loaded
Last night an attempt was made by his
co-laborer and companion, Colonel
Charles II. Hopkins, to have him re-
leased upon giving bonds-but bail was
refused, and the case will come before
the Mayor this morning for inyestigs'
tion. This is evidently the first crop
ping out of portion Of Hopkins and
Bradley's peculiar programme which
was intended to have been car
ried out on New Years day, and
afterward changed to the even
ing as more suitable time in which t
execute their nefariOus plans. We dC
not care to weary or disgust our reader,
with any further details of the outrage
GUS proceedings, which, if not concoctet
by these two notorious individuals
were secretly connived at, and as W,
have good reasons to believe only final
ly abandoned "for the most prudential
reasons" and on the ground that "dis
cretion is oftentimes the better part o
valor." Bradley is anxious to emulat,
the example set by the pair of nobl,
brothers, and he can have his chance.

Corn Meal for Butter.Making.

At a meeting of the Little Falls Farm
ers' Club, at Herkimer n. Y, Judge
Owen made some remarks on feeding
corn meal to milch cows, which are re-
ported as follows, in the Utica Herald {:
He found no ground feed SO good for
butter-making as Indian meal; he had
made number of experiments in feed
ing, aud the best results were obtained
BY feeding it dry. In this state, the an
imal took it slow, moistening it with
saliva and thoroughly masticsting it.
In feeding it wet, he thought it passed
directly to the third stomach, and,
hence, was not properly assimilates.
Had large cow of the Holderness
breed upon which he experimental, to
see how much meal could be fed with
profit. Found that feeding two quarts
at feed, and twice a day, was all she
would bear. This, in addition to hay,
brought down the milk in large quan-
titles. By such feed, shis cow yielded
fourteen ponnds of butter per week.
Her highest product was forty-one
pounds of butter in fifteen days, besides
thirty quarts of milk which was saved
out for family use. Did not regard
turnips as Of much value for milch
cows preferred potatoes, as far more
valuable 10 feed.

REVIVAL OF RELIGIoN.-A revival of

were baptized on Sunday, December ~,
