The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1868-09-11

JOnn, DhCkeu UJ. ulb uiB8tI anu scltk-
wag friends, poured out the vials of
his wrath on the old gentlemau's
head. sBut this time Jcka TrsJihoned
without his host, for the old man,
though considerably advanced in
years, is of the true metal. The in
suit was resented, Weapons were
drawn. and the man w;so wouldn't go
to the war at the first, didn't care
about it, when danger was nearer,
got out OF the way-lay out-not till
the moss grew on his back this time,
but until he could report to General
Candy. Being informed by man of
more sense than himself, that their
party were more implicated than the
old gentleman, the report was not
made. But for this proceeding,
Johnny is promised thrashing by
man who never tells lie, provid-
ed John can be caught. So much for
Johnny's bravery-the man who
wouldn't go to the war. The old
men. women and children will please
take notice, and govern themselves
accordingly.
Sam. Tinsley is a good, honest
farmer, and bore a good name until
he got into the company OF the scala
wags. His brothers and most of his
family are good Democrats, and the
prediction is that when Sam. gets
home and in good company. he also
will be Democrat.
Wilson Cook is one of the most
exemplary mulattoes that ever lived
in this town. He is one of the best
tanners in the United States; also,
good barber While slave, he was
polite and respectful, and I believe
ho is the same yet. Wilson can
boast some of the best blood in
North Carolina. One great draw
back is, he came from Rutherford
County. the County in North Caro-
lima that has spewed out On us such
men as Joe Crews, Runnion, and
others I have no doubt Wilson re-
grets it.
Next, comes Allen, about the color
outside as Wilson, but not so white
inside, / fear. A good tomb stone
cutter, he will have big job after
the November elections. Allen stood
well in this community until he show
ed his cloven foot; and he was not
entirely given over until he made his
incendiary harangue here last month.
His object is to make money out of
the negro question. When the war
broke out he made the remark to an
intimate friend, that his principles
were against slavery, and therefore
he could not fight for its mainten-
ance, but 'if he had ten thousand
dollars he would invest it in negroes"
He would speculate in flesh and blood,
but he would not fight for slavery.
You sec money was his object, with
out caring any thing for the negro.
He has made it-out of the negro.
To another friend he expressed strong
Southern sentiments, and got letters
of recommendation to the blockading
fleet, but did not get in. He next
goes into the salt making business on
Masonborough Sound, n. c., with
an honest old German of this place.
He did not make salt longer than an
opportunity offered to desert to the
blockading fleet. He had been there
but few hours before his partner
was shelled out Mein Cot!!
Imagine slavery to have continued,
and Allen with his ten thousand dol
lars, made by hewing and picking
italian and native marble, speculat-
ing in the bullet-headed compeers of
the great unlawful, with John Hyde
as associate and professor of phre-
nology.
Allen, sAowing one Of the eMich-Hpped
legislators, noD his property. Here,
gentlemen, is a good field hand, sound
in body and mind, just twenty give
years old, raised on cotton planta-
tion, knows all the moduS operandi-
qualities good-only $1,000 for this
fine likely boy.
Professor Hyde, feeling the nigger's
acooly head, .fo1. the BUMPS, aOhich head
is as round as a grape shot.-Gentle-
men, you all know, or at least do,
that the negro has no soul, he is only
an improved creation of the brute
species, but still they have the in
stincts of all animated beings. This
fellow is honest-won't steal if you
will give him plenty to eat, and keep
him out of the company of mean
white men. This fellow is somewhat
addicted to laziness, as his phleg-
matte temperament shows, but lit
tie touch of the growth of the land
will bring it out of him. Worth
