/ SENAToBiA, Mfss., November o.
The Radicals, or at least the Alcorn
wing Of the Radical party Of the State,
had meeting here yesterday; that is
to say, one of the XVIII Amendment,
negro suffrage parties of Mississippi,
headed by j. L. AIoorn-not the
brOther-in-law, J. l.. Dent-had a
grand carousal of negroes in the good
ly, if not Cody, burg of Senatobia,
yesterday. Senatobia is "some pun
kins in its own estimation, and can
boast Of as big demonstrations in the
show line a. any town Dan Rice ever
encountered, North or South, even if
niggers are, for the most part, the
star actors. We would inform you,
however, that Senatobia of to-day is
not the demOFalized, gambling head
quarters of blockade runners, cotton
speculatOrs and some of your present
brick and mortar aristOcrats it was
when "Scantling," alias Rafter, sent
his most VeraciOus grapevine tele-
grams to the remOteSt parts Of a be-
lieYing but deceived Confederacy.
Victories were then won here that
now find no place in truly recorded |
history. Scantling was enthusiastic,
patriotic and kind-hearted, and there /
fore often got the enemy so entangled /
in his telegraph lines as TO compel the !
COnfederates frequently to fall back in /
order to give hiin free and open COM /
muRIcatiOn-nOthing more! Where |
is Rafter2 is he covering a house or
something else nov? Hamlet would /
say, that's the question. Ii he can
ever cover up some OF his telegrams
from this place, he viii have TO spread
himself, Is the general opinion of
many who read his fancies during the
war; and, what is most astonishing, (
believed them too! We again say 4
SenatObia is not what il was then,
but 2 little more so. We are fast get
ting into respectable habits. We now
have town hall, A. L. Blackburne, I
proprietor, two good saloons, with
plenty Of whisky, and other impOr-
tant business houses too numerous II
to mention. In a word, we are a
long way ahead of Bucksn6rt. The
to say impiOu5 insinua-
tiOn Of the latter town" They didn't
care a d-u I've hurl back with the
scorn it so Justly merits, This proper 4
and timely exhibition OF refined and I,
elevated resentment should be special
ly noted by all admirers of what is
sublime in all manifesto I
tiOns and exhibitions of heroic virtue. | .
SenatObia, nevertheless, stands pre-
eminent for many cOmmcndations, I,
chief OF which is having large negro
congregations, especially when Il blue {

Although Alcorn was not present,
was expected, two or three of the III
mailer fry, Col. Musgrove, candidate di
r State Treasurer; Nr. Anderson, d.
in general and candidate tn
r subsidy from the purse of AL ca
rni [Dt. Ballard, who was never or
'en a corporal in "A negro regiment, pr
It now Probate Judge by appoint of
ent, and another negro or 50, were Of
lily on hand to fill Gen. Alcorn's ap- tn
ointment. OF course, the disap- NJ
,iatmeHt was severe on all sides, as M
wished To hear what Radicalism va
opposed TO do officially, ?, and not from eX
,utenants and cOrporals. The lack In
ses spoke their pieces, but only gave i'm
the old and stale ideas of negro Pc
uality we have had thou sand of
mes before, They sought to array to
e blacks against the whites, and fol- pr
wed close IN the track OF lust such pl,
en- as Ham Carter, Barbour Lewis,
! Shaw, and Others Of that ilk, with pr
hich you have long ago been most IN,
OrOughly diSgusted. None of the let
eakers, MusgTove only except br,
, did not rise to the dignity ne
the cOmmOnest demagOgue, / w
lch less the statesmen, we on
ire led TO think the AIcorn ne

sting and contemplate as to injure ov
N. Alcorn most materially, and il pa
really deserves the GubernatOrial fer
air and the respect and esteem Of mC
constituents and form er friends, me
can most sincerely advise him to roi
! ia at once his pretended friends cal
W perambuiating the State under

sentiments, are real ly an injury to pa
