The limerence.

The Infamous carpet-haggers who have In
tested the South since the war, have practlsed
deception upon the poor deluded negroes by
promising them that they would be given by
the Radicals forty acres Of land. The Conser-
natives made them no such deceptive promises.
They are the only true friends of the negro and
do more for him than they promise. 1t is GER
tainly to the interest of the negro to act with
and to keep upon friendly terms with the great
body of the whites of the South. La illustra-
ton of this fact we will state that the Conser-
natives of Marion South Carolina, have pur-
chased and presented to each of the fifteen ne
groes who had the courage to go to the polls
and vote with and for their old masters, with
the title deeds to forty acres of good land near
that town

The Trouble with the Negroes at Opelousas,
La.-Report Of the Freedmen's Bureau
Agent

NEW ORLEANS, October Lieutenant Lee,
of the Freedmen's Bureau, who was sent by
Major Hutchings, In charge Of the Bureau here,
to investigate the recent troubles with the ne
groes at Opelousas, reported the result Of his
investigation this morning.
The immediate cause of the outbreak was a
personal difficulty between the editor of the ST..
Landry Progress, Republican newspaper, and
three citizens, growing out of an offensive article
in that newspaper. Bentley, the editor, who is
also school teacher, was caned. The report
was Immediately circulated among the negroes
that Bentley was killed, and couriers were dis
patched to arouse the negroes on the plantations.
In an incredibly short time they were focking
into Opelousas armed, and apparently being
| fully organized for such occasions. Several
bodies of the negroes met but were dispersed
| by the efforts of sensible and moderate men Of
| both colors, who acquainted when the facts re-
garding Bentley.
| One body, however, of twenty-five or thirty
| negroes, led by negro calling himself captain,
| refused to dispense when ordered, and fight
ensued, in which two negroes lone OF them the
captain) were killed and four or five wounded.
| Five or six whites were wounded. two of them
very severely, and number of horses belong
ing to the whites were killed. Eight of the
| party were captured and lodged In jail and the
balance dispersed.
The orders given by the civil authorities to
disarm the negroes were efectually executed,
but with some difficulty, and the arms Of the
negroes are now in the hands Of the authorities
| Of Opelousas parish.
During the excitement the material of the
| st. Landry Progress was scattered, and por
ton destroyed
| One white man was ambushed by three ne
groes while riding along the road alone and
| riddled with balls. The negroes were all caught
| and killed. Another white planter is reported
to have been shot while sitting in his house
The troubles existed only in the parish of St.
Landry, in a radius of twenty miles from Ope
lousas. The adjoining parishes are perfectly
quiet
Lieutenant Lee report that he could learn Of
but two whites killed and eight or ten wounded
and five negroes killed and fifteen or twenty
wounded but he expresses the opinion that
the number of casualties will exceed this, as the
negroes in some quarters resisted the disarming,
and had to be overpowered. None of the white
Radicals suffered except Bentley, and he only
in the loss of his printing material and the ca
ming he received.
Lieutenant Lee reports quiet restored and
everybody pursuing their ordinary occupations.
No further trouble is apprehended as the white
inhabitants OF the parish out number the blacks.
Armed and mounted patrols, however, were
still being kept up.
