NEGROES ON THE RAAIPAGE-A cores
pondent of the New York Herald writing
from Charlotte county, Va, says:
" Along and throughout the counties
named below, reign of terror prevails.
The freedmen have become desperate,
awaiting the destruction of farms, and now
seek revenge by house burning, cattle
Staying, and other outrages. The counties
of Amelia, Prince Edward, Lineburg,
Halifax, Mecklenburg and Pittsylyania are
delugcd with such outrages. Murder, ar
son and incen6larism arc of nightly occur
renee, and war of races seems inevitable.
The civil authorities are powerless to pro-
tect the people, and military posts are SO
remote that the whites have determined to
defend themselves The resolution is
death before negro supremacy. The forty
acres and two mules promised the negroes
at Christmas not being forthcoming, caus.
ed this terrible state of affairs.

Trinity Church, and one the next day at
DR.. EDDY's Church, New York. The
brides were dressed in white, and their
trails were very extensive. Just now there
is considerable discussion among the lady

the two was the longer. Unfortunately
one bridal party is on its way to Europe,
and the facts cannot be ascertained. The
other trail was measured, and the length
was exactly six yards and four inches.

The following is the letter of JOHN
Mitchell, declining the presidency Of the
Fenian Brotherhood.
New York, Dec. 10.
To Colonel Wm. Roberts and John Savage,
esq
GENTLEMEN The tender you have
made me of the presidency OF the reunited
Fenian brotherhood, though it has emhar-
rassed me, | could not fail to be gratifying,
on two accounts-frst, that it proves con
tidence in me personally and next, that it
marks the moment OF reconciliation, be-
tween two bodies of patriotic lrlshmen,
having the same great object in view. On
this reconciliation, brought about mainly
by your own efforts, gentlemen, allow me
to congratulate you.
But after sufficient time taken for consid-
Grafton, after reading the constitution,
and holding some conversation with leading
members of both organizations, l must beg
leave, respectfully, to decline the honor and
the responsibility which they would pay me
the compliment of imposing upon me. And
[ have the less regret in coming to this con
cluson, as it cannot be said to throw any
obstacle in the way ola reunion of our coun-
trymen. That reunion is already effected
with provision for eiecting a presiden. in
case of my refusal.
1t is useless to enter here into any ac-
count of the various reasons (some of a pub
lie, some OF private natuie,) which COM
pei me to decline. My countrymen know
very well that | have the fullest sympathy
with the object of Fenianism, that is the
destruction of British dominion in ireland;
and, therefore, | expect that they will give
me credit for valid reasons without my en-
tering into detail.
With thanks for your courtesy, gente-
men, in the execution of your mission, and
assurances of respect for you, personally |
have the honor to be, your obedient SER
want,
(Signed, JOHN mitchell.

THE FRUITS OF CIyIL WAR.


The increase of RIGHTEOUSNESS in this
country Is pronounced before the Scien-
tine Congress TO be very great, and the
late civil war pronounced to be the most
prolific cause of this. The clergy and
boosted philanthrOpist5 who believe in
war and who are ready to get up another,
II need be, IN vindica1iOn of their ex-
treme opinions, will please take notice,
PREACHING politics in the pulpit also has
driven people beyond the good Influences
OF religion, and in turn into the vortex of
the world The most popular social ed
ueaslon for some years, both from the
pulpit and forum, has been the law Of
personal, social and sectional hate, and
the wonder is, with 50 many Radical
preachers and teachers, immortality Is
not even greater than we see it
But there are greater evils from war
than personal licentiOusness and political
decentralization. Our recent civil war has
changed our Federal constitution, and IL
not IN letter, what is great deal worse,
In Its spirit Part Of this, perhaps, grew
out OF the necessities of the hour, but
more from the innovations upon cOnsti-
tntlOnal liberty, which are the natural
products Of war Thus we saw the
Supreme Court recognize the South as a
belligerent power, and then we were
quite ready to quarrel with England for
following our example We also hasten
to recognize a revolution in Spain, when
we were so fierce to frOwn upon all
powers which dared 70 recognize a revo-
luton at home. The Gar Of all the
Russias becomes the source Of our pro.
lou1dest admiration, though this same
Gar is the head and front Of the worst
despOtism in tho old world War not
only blinds men to all consistency and
all decency, but seems TO rooi out all that
is moral in principle aud Conservative in
character. The exceptions only prove
the rule-NrC York Express.
