hoped recession of Congress from the
reconstruction measures, and the return
into their control of the political affairs
of the South lost by secession. It is suf-
hcient to explain the reports. As the
Dentocrdt proffered us a few extracts,
we return the compliment. which, as
they come from Democratic sources. we
hope the Democrat. with little effort
on its part, will De able TO attach some

=" As the time ,r the holiday festivities is
approaching, tue Conservative pa pers through
out the interior of this State are beginning
20 raise the everlasting cry of " negro insur-
TecuOn.' Some of the country papers give
n long rigmarole, purporting 60 be the pro
Sr"mme ot the contemplated atrocities, but
/ Invariably coutradicted In the next issue.
The representations are so strongly
] put forth by the leading men of the old rebel
/ regime that even Gen. Ord deemed 1T adyisa-
| ole 70 Issue an order about It. We don't be-
liaye there Is a word of truth in these reports.
The honest portion of the people of
| Mississippi know that there is no Foundation
whatever for the sensational proclamation of
Gov. Humphreys. They also know that the
" highly respectable" source from which he
procured his information is a rebel one. and
I we, IN behalf of the loyal citizens of Mssis-
/ sippi, defy him any official In this State to
I produce one word, line or letter, from a loyal
man, IN coroboIation of such reports

With relation TO the starvation story, and
/ that of Z" armed freedmen, !" spoken OF in Gen.
| Ord's last order, the distress prevailing, ac-
! coTding To hundreds of letters received here
| are, In great part, due to the treatment, dis
| charging and piIfering of pay, &C, of which
the labOTers have been made the victims since
| they voted for delegates to the Reconstruction
Convention ordered by Congress ThousaudS
of men were driven from employment on that
| account. As to the Freshmen being aTmel,
\ during thP time the Andrew johns on ! um-
phTey government had unrestricted sway IN
Mississippi, the negroes were generally robbed
Cf their arms, which aere in general only
owned by our discharged coIored soldiers.
These arms were taken under "A law of the
/ bogus State and were transferred to the reor-
ganlZed rebel militia. Several thousand mus
kets, once buried In defence of the Union at
MIlliken's Bend, Lake PrOvIdence, &C., and
purchased by the money of the soldier, were
thus stolen and have not been returned. In all
probability, should the desired war of races he
provoked, these arms would be used To shoot
their rIEhtful owners. The nP-toes have been
too poor in Mississippi TO purchase arm, and
il rs not probable that FIVE per cent of the
males among them even own shot gun OF
horse pistol.
