Indications are that the Radicals have
Loaf the power of driving the negroes
like herd Of cattle. They have deter

So And the change new taking place is
not more remarkable than honorable to
their late masters, whom they know held
them as slaves as leniently az they could
do to &c. back the money the Yankees
pocketed for them. This gives the lie to,
the thousand ISLANDERS on shareholders,
whose honor their late slaves acknowl-
edge, and whose promises are always
kept They know they can trust the
promised Kindness Of such friends with
whom they expect to live for years in
happiness, when the carpet-baggefs have
run of with their full carpet'bags. And
they will do it The Radical party has
destroyed itself by giving them the
power to drive them out In Georgia
thirty to forty thousand are expected to
