80 far as we can learn, that young negro
soldier gained access to the sleeping apartment
of General Mowers daughter, beautiful and
accomplished sirl about sixteen years OF age
What was accomplished We know not, and can
only surmise from the subsequent results. Ii
appears that younger child called her father,
and he and the officer Of the day, upon arriving
at the spot, found the negro in possession m
the guard, which was stationed in the vicinity
of the Generals quarters. It appears that q
court martial was ct once organized, and the
negro soldier sentenced to be executed by
hanging. But the General interfered and the
sentence was suspended, but it is currently re-
ported that the negro was killed inside the fort,
put into sack and thrown into the Gulf"

THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 7, 1868
Tho Ku.KIux Folly.

1t is high time that the sensible journals
of the South should speak plainly on 4he
subject of the .semi-mythical organization,
which, originating with few rollicking
spirits in Tennessee, is said to hsye
extended its, ramifcations far and wide
throughout the South. The thoughtlesa
young men who compose the "Klan'' are
unwittingly furnishing our enemies at the
North with the very weapon which, of all
others, they coveted to, use against our peo-
pie. The Radical press teens with horri-
BILE narratives Of every real or imaginary
outrage committed in the Southern States;
and every fresh crime is freely imputed to
the mystic deviltry Of the Ku-Klux. The
Northern pictorials, teo, have found new
and paying sensation, and industriously en-
blazon upon their pages, with all the aocu-
mulated horrors which the scope Of the
artists fancy can supply, the midnight
misdeeds Of the Klan.
or course these reoitals are, in the main,
sheer fabrications. But they have undoubt-
edly had their effect in checking the popu-
lar reaction against the Radical party and
in turning back that stream of immigration
and capital, upon the steady influx Of which
the future Of the South SO largely depends.
Moreover, the secrecy affected by the Klan
affords ready and plausible prete1t for
maintaining the organization and justifying
the doings Of those compact political leagues,
through the agency of which Radiealism
to-day holds the mastery in the South.
In view Of these plain facts, we do not
hesitate to say that no honorable and patri-
otic Southern man, who has the welfare Of
this people at heart, ought to sympathiss
with or countenance in any way this stupen-
dous folly. Doubtless the numbers as well
as the psanks Of the Ku.Klux Klan have
been grossly exaggerated; and in South
Carolina, we are glad to say, the organiza-
tion has had no real existence outside the
fancy Of q few hair-brained youths; but the
injury it has already indirectly wrought, in
prejudicing the..cause of the Southern peo-
pie in the eyes Of the North, is serious
enough, and, we trust, paIpsble enough, to
cause the Klan, with all its attendant dia
5leris, speedily to sink back into the obscuri-
ty from which it emerged.

SOME DAY.

You sm Doth the tangles from my hair
With gentle touch and tenderest care,
And count the years ere you shall mark
Bright silver threads among the dark
Smiling the while to hear me say,
You'll think Of this again some day -
Some day ~
do not scorn the power Of time,
Nor count on years of fadsless prime;
But no white CLEANS will ever shine
Among those heavy locks Of mine,
Ay, laugh IS gaily as you may,
You II think Of this again some day
Some day!
Some day shall not feel a. now
Your soft hands move about my brow,
shall not slight your light commands,
And draw your tresses through my hands
I shall be silent and obey
And you-you will laugh that day
Some day.
know how long your loving hands
Will linger with those glossy bands,
When you shall weave my latest Grown
Of their thick masses long and brown;
But you will see no touh of gray
Adorn their shining length that day
Some day
And while your tears are falling hot
Upon the lips which answer not,
You II take from these one treasured tress
And leave the rest to silentness-
Rememb Der that I used to say,
"Yeu' III think of this again some day
Some day"

Among the few remedies for the curing o

ence and grown into popular favor, is Hoof

been before the public for many years, anC
has been constantly g, owing ia reputation
Ia many cases of Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia

used with the greatest success. and is often
prescribed by the most skillfnl and expert
en- ed physician.
To those afflicted with any OF the diseases
arising from bilious disorders of the stomach,
and diseases resulting from disordered
condition Of the digestive organs, THE Bitters
ia said to be invaluable.
The Bitters is not an alcoholic drink, and 8
taste for alcoholic drinks is therefore not en-.
gendered by its frequent use.
We believe that it our people-our farmers
and mechanics, and all who are obliged tC
work out of doors in the wet and rainy
weather of the spring aud fail, would use the
Bitters as directed, large proportion OF the
fevers and bilious COM plants with which We
are afflicted, would entirely cease.
