barbarism." This was his deliberate
conviction derived from experience and
observation. Now that the negro is n
voter, he gives the lie direct to his ma
tured convictions
In the article in his paper Of the ID
inst, Governor Brownlow says:
"In the meantime, the blacks are ad-
vised to keep strict watch, not only
against giving offeDse, but also, and
equally, 10 avoid receiving harm. Your
rights, your liberties and your laws are
in more apparent danger now than
during the war. Be watchful. Be alert
If attacked, defend yourselves"
This ia nothing more nor less than an
attempt to excite the negroes to violence.
They are not advised to appeal to the
laws for redress OF their wrongs, but
are admonished to defend themselves.
They are TO take the execution Of the
laws into their own hands, and this by
the advice of the Governor whose oath OF
office requires that he shall take care
that the laws be faithfully executed" not
by mob, but by the duly elected officers.
This is not the first time which the Gov
ernor of Tennessee has advised his par
tsans to redress their wrongs, real or
imaginary, without regard to the laws.

The Radicals talk about the proscrp

supports negro upon his plantation who
is for disfranchising him, deserves to be

Organised Band Of Robbers in Haywood
County.

The following is the right course. 1t
is very easy for villains to display false
colors and pass for better men. Let all
honest men unite to put them down and
aid the officers of the State, who should
do their duty. That is all the militia
this State wants. Where the laws are
not duly administered the whole body of
true men should be vigilance committee.

Temperance in Charleston.

Mr. Editor From what Is said
in your paper of2lst inst..of intemper-
ance in West Charleston, it might be
inferred that Temperance men, if there
be any here, were very inefficient.
There are but few real temperance
men | fear, here, but they have tried
to do something. Our temperance
society held stated meetings during
last fall aud winter.
One point of discussion was wheth-
err We should depend upon moral
suasion' alone, or whether if this
failed we should make use Of the law
to stop the sale of spirits. On this
point members of the society were
not agreed Our hotel keeper was
called upon by different committees
chosen by the society, and by private
individuals TO induce him if possible
to stop selling liquor In these inter
views with the "hotel Keeper the i'm.
preston was give, and, in -Dme III
stances it was distinctly stated THAI
| if he would Lave off selling, all his
past offenses would he passed over
At last one committee brought in q
paper purportlng to be pledge from
this hotel keeper that he would leave
off sclIing-a vote ot the society haC
been obtained by majority, that they
would not prosecute this hotel keeper
if he would leave off selling, 50 tina
the hands Of the society, as such, were
tied so far as legal action was con
cerned. But when this hotel keeper
had broken the so called pledge, som,
of the society felt that they were thel
at liberty to appeal TO the law for ai(
to stop the sale Of liquor. Measure
were taken to do this. The State
Attorney was written to and he ad
viscd that the matter should be brot
before the grand jury at Irasburgh
hence witnesses were summoned an,
reported themselves to the States Al
,Orney at the recent court at lraS
I burgh and the subpoena returne,
: to him, but the witnesses were dis
missed without going before the gran
jury to testify, and | am told that tn
States Attorney gave as reason 70
: this course that if all the towns in tn
county would take hold of this sui
/. iect he would attend to it, but h
n would not attend to an isolated case
e Now Mr.. Editor shall a few ten
e perance men succumb to intempe
ance? shall we abandon all effort
stop the swelling tide Of intempe
ance?

CHEEsE.-We had the pleasure of
personally inspecting the Factory of
MeSsrs. Chase & Wyman, Of Derby,
one day last week, The factory,
which is large enough and has the nee
essary fixtures to manufacture the
milk of thousand cows, is situated
in dry, airy location, near one Of the
finest springs of water in the country.
Nothing is more necessary to the sue
ceSsful manufacture of cheese, than
pure air, and cool pure water. Both
these requisites are admirably COM
bined in the location of this factory.
The water is sufficiently abundant to
meet the requirements of the factory
should it be worked up to its full force
The farmers of Derby and Holland
will undoubtedly see their interest in
giving more attention to cheese max
ing another year. At present, the
factory is working about 1000 lbs. O
milk per day, under the charge of Mr.
Stone, who had charge of the Hunter
factory last year.
The quality OF the cheese manufac
tured, so far as it has been proved b,
actual use, is frst-rate, and we hav,
no doubt from the care taken to keel
everything neat and sweet, the purit,
of the air and water, and the excellen
quality of the milk, that the chess
manufactured here will rank as hig
as any in market.-Stanstead Journal

A Dangerous Situation.

When passing near the Riet river
gate, and while our oxen were graz
inc. Van Wyk, the coloniSt, related
to us the following interesting circum-
stances: at is now, Che said, more
than two years since, in the very place
where we stand, | ventured to take
one.0f the most daring shots that ev-
er was hazarded My wife was sit
ting inside the house, near the door,
the children were playing about her.
and was without, near the house,
buSied in doing something to wag
on, when suddenly, though it was mid
day, an enormous lion appeared, came
up, and laid himself down in the shade
upon the threshold of the door. Ny
vile, either frozen with fear, or aware
Of the danger attending any attempt
to hy, remained motiOnleSS in her
place, while the children took refuge
IN her lap. The cry they uttered at
tr4ctcd my attention, and | fastened
towards the door; but my aStoniSh-
ment may be well conceived, when |
found the entrance to it barred in such
a way. Although the animal had not
seen me. nnarmad as / was, escape
seemed impossible, yet glided gently
scarcely knowing what meant TO do,

window OF my chamber, where | knew
my loaded gun was standing.
BY most fortunate chance | had
set it in the corner close to the wind
ow, so that | could reach it with my
hand; for as you may perceive, the
opening is too small to admit of my
having got in; and still more FORUM
ately, the door Of the room was open,
50 that | could see the whole danger
of the scene. The lion was beginning
to move,perhaps with the intention of
making spring. There was no long
er time to think; | called softly to the
: mother not to be alarmed and invok
: iug the name of the Lord, fired my
piece. The ball passed over my boys
head, and lodged in the forehead Of
the lion, immediately above his eyes
which shot forth as sparks Of fire, and
I stretched him on the ground, so thai
; he never stirred more. Indeed, we
; ali Shuddered as we listened to this
= relation. Never, as he himself ob

The triumph of Seymour will be a
death blow to all hopes of the African
race in the South being permitted to
enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, much less the right of vot-

A report Of the Democratic ratif-
cation meeting at Atlanta, Ca, says:
"a committee was appointed to the
selection of permanent officers. While
they were out Col. J. B. Weems was
called on for speech, who told them
that the result of their success in the
contest before them would be to expel
from Georgia the entire brood of
Northern paupers, and the Southern
miscreants now infesting her. This
sentiment was received with the usual
compliment of rebel yell.
A. J. Ramsey of Columbus made
violently rebel speech, declaring that

but maintain their rights; that the
government wrongfully made war up
on her, and that the very day the war
commenced the Constitution was over
thrown. Mr.. Clark made a speech
pledging himself before God to fight
to the last the new governments that
had been set up in the South.
The Washington correspondent of
the New York Times says of PreSi-
dent Johnson:
"In conversation with a party re-
garding Southern affairs, he remarked
that he could not consistently recog-
nize the officers of the reorganized
States as loyal officers, and conse-
quently will be obliged either not to
hold intercourse with them, or address
himself to the officers who, in his opin-
ion, are legally entitled to recogni-
ton; then he added, or the officers
elected under his so-called Provisional
Governments. He predicted that the
withdrawal of the troops from the
Southern States would result in the
destruction Of the carpet-bag govern
mentS.
