SAVANNAH, September 1.-The white
boy who mysteriously disappeared was
found yesterday, supposed to have been
murdered by negroes, near the city. His
gun and clothing were gone, and tits
thought he was killed for them. An
inquest was held, and a verdict of killed
by parties unknown was rendered. There
is great excitement. Parties had been
out three days hunting for the body; they
met an armed band of negroes, who
halted them with military precision.
Parties are now out in the country in
search of the murderers. Robberies and
assaults on the whites by negroes on the
roads leading to the city are of hourly
occurrence. The negroes in and around
the city are thoroughly organized, drilled
and well armed. 81, &, 1850. -

To workfngmen.

To the workingmen, who pay nine
tenths of the taxes of this country in the
shape of stamps, tariffs and duties, the
Cincinnati Enquirer makes the following
forcibly suggestive appeal. Let those
out of employment, through the prevail
ing distress among capitalists, investi.
gate this matter, and they will see the
reason why, and how it is that change
of rulers is even more important to them
than it is to the richi dlv'4s
You are paid for your day of hard and
unremitting toil-for the wear and tear
of your bones and sinews-in legal ten
ders. That money is thought good
enough for you, and why should it not be
good enough for the bondholder, who
tolls not, who is arrayed in fine linen,
and lives upon the fat of the land 2 If it
is good enough for him, ought you to
vote for the party which tells you that he
must have better money than you receive
that be must have the solid gold2 You
are oppressed with exorbitant taxation
in every variety of form. The rent
of the dwellings in which you live
is far too high. You are taxed two
or three prices for everything you
buy in the shape of clothing and provi-
sions. Why is this? A portion Of your
money does not go to your landlords, to
your grocers, or your butchers, or your
tailors. They only receive it, and then
pass it to the tax-gatherer. SAL, 100000.

is proposed to pay this interest, or two
thirds of this interest, for forty years,
which would be $4,000, 900, 900; and then
we must pay the principal of the debt,
$500, 900, 900 more-pay it, too, in hard
coin Have you thought how much
Of your sweat and blood would have
to go toward paying this enormous
debt-of how many comforts your
self and family will have to be
deprived, in that long interval of time,
on its account-unless we pay the debt,
or portion Of it, off in legal tenders,
and thus save this ezorbitant interest 7
Will you vote for Grant, and thus vote
to establish this dreadful incubus upon
yourself and your posterity Remember
that this "a, 900, 900, 900 in four years is
in addition to all the other taxes for the
support Of the government, and that they
will be at least S6,000,0 10000 more in
that interval. Do you think we can
stand that burden Of taxation? Do you
think the $4,000, 900, 900 capital, which
is now in bonds that are not taxed

We publish 10 day the great speech OF
Mr.. Doolittle. which is more complete
cogeut and comprehensive as affecting
questions in which we OF the South are
more Immediately interested than any
we have yet seen. 1t sets forth the true
issues and the true antagonism OF parties
with the utmost clearness and fidelity.
The Fundamental idea of reconstrucsion,
as devised by the Radical Congress
against which we are at war, he declares
to be that II shall DO mot upon the
civilized white basis. but upon the half
civilized negro basis" The issue be-
tween Congress and Mr.. johnson was
that he would not "force negro suffrage
upon the people Of the South against the
will Of the people Of the South" as the
Congress desired and had determined to
do. That Is the material issue which
affects us, and was intended by the Radi-
cal malignants to damn the South, and
keep il forever crushed under the heel Of
their demonism. That is what the
South resists, if it resists anything
the crime against the laws Of
nature, which God has stamped on the
races, Of forcing political and conse-
quent social equality between the African
and Caucasian, an inferior and exotic
race from the tropics, and the highest
type of the human race in the home o.
the latter in the temperate zone" 1t is
that crime against which the South re-
bells, for which the impeachers are now
on trial, against which the Democratic
party Of the Union, from Maine to
California, is pledged = the crime
against civilization, implied in wrenching
the government, by disfranchisement,
out of the hands Of the white race, and
placing it in the hands of race incapa-
BILE of high civilization and intelligence.
It is crime against the liberties OF the
Southern American people, annuling
the only government capable OF
supporting such liberties, and In
volving as necessity to its
own maintenance the perpetual
use Of the bsyonet in eleven States, and
an eternal unmitigated despotism over
twelve millions of people. Who cares
here for questions of currency, green
backs and gold, or anything else in com.
parisou with this Grant may be
elected, and the South bound by force
under such weight, in the dust and in
chains it may be. Weknov not the dark
and dreadful future. But we do know
that the Southern people will forever
resist such degradation. and that though
the peace war should be contipued
for ages, they will never voluntarily con-
sent to wear the manacles which their |
enemies hold out before them as orna-
ments to be placed on their limbs. The
negro will be treated with all kindness by
the Southern people. But never while
the world stands will he have voice in
this government, exoep. as the result of
force, and against their fres consent
And never, until our enemies desist from |
this unparalleled enormity, is it to be hoped
we shall have peace aud prosperity in the
American States. 5afs4ii

Bullock. and upset the Constitution" In the
afternoon session several of the members par
ticipated in the debate. and on vote being
taken, the negroes were declared ineligible BY
vote of eighty to twenty-three. Thus twenty
three negroes are unseated ard four remain,
who claim to DO white men. Their cases arc TO
be investigated. Turner, as he walked out
brushed the dust from his feet. The other me-
groes bowed to the Speaker and waved their
hats to the members.
The arrest Of officials at New York for frauds
on the Revenue department. and the supposed
connection of Commissioner Rollins in the mat
ter, creates quite stir at Washington. The
Investigation is progressing and will determine
whether any of the higher officials are culpable.

aud speaks the truth, as all vendors Of

then, Is to hinder both playing the same
game, and at the same time giving
Grant and Colfax q lin, lot win which
may9 The following is the startling in
tenigeuce furnished by the Nashville
Press and Times, of the 18th; ,e
We received last night letter from
one of the first citizens Of the State, a
thorough-going Republican from the be-
ginning, and q staunch friend OF the State
government, disclosing the fact that a
gigantic scheme ia on foot 20 import an
army Of Kentucky negroes into this State
under the pending militia bill. Our cor
respondents testimony on this point is Of
q character not TO be doubted. 1t Is in
controvertible. He writes that some Of
the most respectable citizens Of Ken
lucky have recently seen letters written
by parties in this State, summoning
colored men Of Kentucky to come here
and Join the militia? These letters have
been seen by many gentlemen, not only
in Bowling Green, but also at other
points in Kentucky. If this statement
be denied, the testimony proving the
facts we have stated will be forthcoming.
Every intelligent man will at once come
to the conclusion that the persons writing
for these Kentucky recruits are not after
soldiers to aid in enforcing the laws and
keeping the peace Of the State. II is
much more probable that they are
politicians hunting voters to aid in a
doubtful election. The points to which
these recruits are directed are Nashville
and Clarksville. 1t can easily be seen
what use could be made of regiment or
more Of these Kentucky recruits, who,
after being furnished with certificates,
could be voted at any point in the State,
and thus be made unconscious instru-
ments in perpetrating great wrong !
upon the legal voters Of Tennessee, aud
thwarting the expression Of their choice |
at the ballot-box.
That certainly caps the climax of all
outrages. just think of the horrible mon
strosity of thwartiug the expression of
their choice at the bsllot-box-of all the

vote where they please and as often as

Correction.

1t is impossible TOR any man to give OF
considerable length an expression Of his
views on any public question without
finding his language nisconceived and
perverted by those determined to per.
vert, and if possible to make capital out
of what he says. Hence it was that
when we read yesterday in the morning
papers an account by correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial Of a CONVEX
sation recently had with Gen. Forrest,
Pillow and others, we expected to find
mistakes of facts, inaccuracies and mis-
statements. And the following letters
published in the, Avalanche this morn
ing indicate such TO have been the case
in this instance. Corrections are slow
to follow, and will not probably be made
except by the press originally concerned
in the publication. There is DISPOSE
ton to seize on everything which may be
said by leading men Of the South, and to
pervert it to partisan use. If the eorre-
spoudent OF the Commercial means
fairly he will therefore be extremely care.
full to make the corrections promised in
the following correspondence:
