These are fair specimens Of the honesty

NEGROES AIMING IN GEoRGA.-The
Macon journal of the Odd inst says that
the negroes in that city, and in every
county, ha e regular places of rendezvous.
where they meet for military drill. They
have officers for regiments and companies,
and are regularly armed and have plenty
of ammunition They say they act under
orders from Gov Bullock. The opinion
seems to prevail that they may be called
upon to slaughter the whites at any time.
The feeling of insecurity among the whites
is painful. Under the teachings of the
bad men who control the negroes, it is
difficult to see how conflict between the
two races can be much longer avoided. I'M
less the government shall interfere to pre-
vent it.

Folly OF RADICAL REooNsTRUCfIoN. -
In one of his recent speeches Mr. PENDLE.
TON, of Ohio, in referring to the Kadlea
reconstruction. happily quotedt he old say
ing of the Romans that for retreatine
foe they would build bridge OF gold.
There could not be wiser maxim How
have the Radicals respected this maxim
by burning the bridges and desoiating the
land. Is that peace! Is that reconcllla-
ton? Even Radical hearts must now echo
the bitter answer But Radical hands are
i'll the treasury, aud Radical ambition is
beat on retaining the public offices. The
hanos can only be kept there and the an'bl-
ton of Radicals can only be gratlhed, by
playing out the game of oppression and
false assumption of southern disloyalty
1t has gone too tar-all must now be left
to the hazard OF the die.-Rtch, asp.

Gratuitous Advice to the south.

GratuitOus Advice 10 the South.
It is refreshing to witness the cool inn
pudence with which certain class of
naudlin politicians at the North are prof.
fering their advice. gratuitously, Of course,
to the rebels of the South. and especially
with reference to the pending presidential
election.
Among the most mendacious of these
self-constituted custodians of Southern in
tere sts is "The Soldiers Friend" the re-
puted organ of the radical soldiers and
sailors who support the nominees of the
Chicago Convention.
After calling our attantion to the fact
that the Southern people were disappoiDt-
81 in the expectation of receiving assist
ance from the Northern Democracy in re-
sisting the aggressions of the abolitionists
upon their constitutional rights, it says
that the radical party will not consent to
see new attempt made to settle the ques-
ton Of Democratic government with the
sword. Abide by the verdict Of the bal
lot-box. If it be against you, discuss. ap-
peal, and try the cause again. But, re.
member, the people wiH not consent to haze
periodic 'car to crafty the ambitious men
who happen to be defeated at the polls"
This malicious insinuation that the
whites Of the South contemplate resort
to 1.-THE sword" to settle the question of
Democratic government" in the event of
their defeat at the polls" comes with a
bad grace from the protested organ of a
party whose candidate for the presidency
is merely soldier, without either the ex-
perience or the qualifications of the states
man; who have overthrow the govern
ments Of the Southern States and estab.
lished military despotisms over their
white citizens: and the columns of whose
papers are filled with the general orders"
issued from the headquarters of the
Grand Army of the Republic" purely
military organization, we'll armed, aud ha-
wing Its so-called departments" with
their commanders and sub-commanders.
in every State, from Maine to California
We say that this malicious charge comes
with bad grace from paper whose col
umns are filled with the most disgusting
brayado and mcnacing threats toward a
people who have not the power. if they
even had the will, to attempt to settle
the question Of Democratic government
with the sword" The charge is both
mean and cowardly
We are advised to '.abide by the verdict
OF the oallot-box." That is to saw, the
white men Of the South, who own the
property. pay the taxes. and constitute
majority of the population qualified to ma
mage the affairs of government must yield
with lamb-like humility and unmu muir
ang submissiveness to be excluded from
the ballot-box. to have military satraps
placed over them, invested with more au-
shorty than any crowned head in Europe
dare exercise. and to see their goyeru-
ments. in every department, under the
absolute control of their former slaves and
the unprincipled adventures from the
North, who come here solely for the pur-
pose of using the negroes as t, OILS to place
them in Office. This is the sum and the
substance of the advice SO kindly offered
US by this modest radical organ.
