THE L1TrI.E CoRpoRAI.-A late number
of this original magazine for boys and
girls, and for older peoplewho have young
hearts, has found it's way to our table, and
is SO redolent of every rare and delicious
thing for young hearts, that we are con-
strained to herald its uncommon merits
The stories are delightful and invariably
instructive. The poetry is simple, tender,
pretty and high. The composition is ex
cellent English; and, in a word, the con-
ductors seem to enter into the spirit of
their great task, to know the nature of
young hearts, and how to cater to their
immortal longings.-lN ationol Intelligen-

IL Etlit0r - Your account of the riot
which unfortunately prevailed in our town
on last Saturday week, was, L presume, cor
rect as you were an witness to the affair
in its incipiency and progress, and your po-
sition as public journalist bound you to ac>
quaint yourself with all the facts and give
them to the public fairly, regardless Of favor
or frown. | cannot but regard your state
mcnt as to the cause, whi%hcy, as true, and
YOUR out-spoken sentiments in reference there
to, commend your paper and its Editor to all
the true friends OF humanity among us. |
take this to be the proper and true position
Of the press, to EXPOSE and condemn any evil
that may exist, which endangers the physical
and moral safety of the community. To gloss
such an evil, to cover its enOrmity, to seek to
pallate the guilt Of the party privy thereto;
is beyond question to become particc's crim-
mis- l depricate the day when the press
shall lose sight of its high vocation, falter in
its vipdication of truth and right. aud shrink
from the honest expression of its sentiments
lest it lose the patronage of q certain inter
est.
That our town is cursed with grog-shops is
patent That from these legalizcd hclls there
goes forth the masna of moral disease and
death is true. That in this is perilcd the
safety of property, limb, life, happiness, and
morals, is confirmed by the scenes of that
memorable Saturday. Whiskey was the cause
of that sad occurrence and it can't be dis
gused If we had no whiskey shops in our
town, we should not have witnessed such dis
graceful scenes. lay it at the door of the
whiskey sellers. 1t is true, when the riot
began they closed doors, but they had al
ready Piled the torch, aud now Mr.. Editor
it is question of solemn interest; what is to
be done? The ''whiskey ring" is powerful
and in huential We are literally lawes
community, for our magistrates by habit and
age, are incapac;tated to cnforce the law bold
iy ond dccisively. Mr.. Editor, it may be ne
cessary because of the stress of circumstances
for the people to become a law unto them
selves at least it would be entirely proper
to call town meeting and seriously consult
over the situation. TRUTH.

Ali. QUIET-It is our pleasure to report
That 'ordcr reigns in Warsaw" and that our
negro population have not attempted repc-
tition of the riot of the 11th instant. Near
1y all of those who received injuries have re-
covered, and the climbing over" process has
had melIowing influence on the pugnacious
dispositions Of the fighting portion OF the col
oreI peop'e. Even the leaders express deep
regret at the part they enacted, aud declare
that nothing of the kind shall again occur.
To the credit o. the negroes of this cons
munity, it must be said that their general con-
duct, since they attained their freedom, has
not been such US to call for censure, and we
trust that the lessons of that memorable Sa-
turday will impress them with the impOr>
lance of Keeping themselves in their proper
places If they do this. imposition will
b: practiccd upon them, and they will be
treated we'll. But they must not suffer them
selves to cultivate the hatred towards the
white race, that Northern carpet baggers aud
bureau agents seek to instil in their minds.
let them cut loose from these puritan swind-
lcrs, whether they come in the form of teach
ers or liquor sellers. They have nothing to
gain by hcrding with such swine.
