add, that l saw Charley King, the lead

RICHMOND, MADISON PARISH La,
December Ii, 1870
Friend .SIetu.s:-knOWf1g your inter
est in all that transpires within reach OF
your valuable journal, 1 write to give
you an idea of the terrorism which has
pervaded, for the past week, this por-
ton of the country. On Saturday last
Il party of movers, on their way to Tex
IT'S, with Il crowd of thirty negroes who
had been living with them ever since
the war, were passing Tallula Station, I,
party of some thirty armed negroes,
headed by one Jesse Crosby, IL negro
constable, stopped the wagons, land, not
understanding the cntreaties of the ne
groes themselves, forcibly carried them
off. The law-abiding citizens of this
country, jealous as they have always
been of the good name of their parish,
procured next day Il writ and endeav-
| orcd, peaceably, to arrest the leader,
but failed to find him.
Yesterday Mr.. Sam Sparrow, who was
summoned by the Constable to assist
him i'll securing the arrest of the negro
Constable, received Il message from the
negroes that they intended to take his
life and all of those in company with
him. He Immediately informed the
citizens, as many ITS possible, and i'm
mcdiatcly repaired to Tallula, where
they were informed that the negroes
were forming ut Mr.. Rothschild'S store,
about II mile and Il half distant, fully
armed, and very threatening. Shortly
after, Mr.. s., who deemed it necessary
to remove his family, was ut the station
with them, when two negroes approach
cd and said they had the negro Crosby
with them, and if he wanted him, to
come and take him. Mr.. $. replied that
Iva InI III f,, Il, IL,
that the Constable would be out on the
evening train. The message was sim
ply Il rusc as the sequel proved, for in
loss time than it takes me to narratc it,
Il body of about one hundred negroes
came dashing down the road brandish-
ing their guns, firing their pistols, and
enchanting "lct'S kill 'cm all.''
The affair ut this hung on Il thread,
and nothing but the array of about ten
armed and determined white men de-
TERED them from the attempted COM
pletion of their bloody threats. While
write, crowds of outraged and deter
mined white men, fully armed, are
congrcgating from all the adj
joining parishes, and bloody work may
take place before this reaches YOU, and
* the oft told war of races begun, for
assure YOU this is no chiids play, but the
'u'poii itiS VI XII otttiitSttt 'lltt liluTtti
fighting for life and home.
This is Il solution of the numerous
threats that have been made by the |
negroes for the past two months, that .
they intended to own Madison by .
christmas.

meant to stimulate Il misunderstanding
with those " tcllahS'' who manage the

The Republican of this morning pub

clause introduced by myself expressly

This is Il DEIIEEEArE, wILFUI. and
MALICIOUS lie. never used any such
language on the trial of the writ of h:,-
bcas corpus applied for by Hawke.
Again, the Republican says:
"Thc officer who took Hawke down
to the court carried with 4 NEW war
rant to arrest accuScd.'
This implies that another warrant
had been previously issued for the ar
rest of Hawke. So far as this implica-
and MALICIOUS lie.

DELTA.

Some of our readers having heard of
this little town would probably like to
know something further Of its size, bus
mess prospects, &c.
Delta is situated on the Mississippi
river, about 2! miles below the ante
bellum depot of DeSoto, then the east
ern terminus of the Nicksburg, Shrevc-
port & Texas Railroad, and now the
classic home of Il dozen or SO colOred
citizens who prey upon Nicksburg for Il
sustenancc. The town of Delta is eX-
tensively laid out, occupying an area of
probably 800 acres, courthouse, Jail, cot
ton fields, storehouses and all included !;
the buildings numbering not far from
sixteen. 1t resembles in shape very
closely the Greek letter, Delta; the lat
ter being an acutc-angled-triangl the
former being built promiscuously upon
the neck of Il peninsula, or rather occu-
plying the neck of magnified Junk
bottle, with Grants celebrated canal
crossing the neck like yarn thread,
for luck.
Nearly all the houses in Delta are
built on stills, as if they We're Inhabited
by olynesians, and stand far apart, lest
they might collide in high water, the
Delta Restaurant Ga first-rate eating
house and soon to be fitted up as a
hotel, being IL notable exception. The
trade at present is confined mostly to
local custom, which, in Il parish voting
only about thirty Democratic votes, it
will be easily seen is the custom mainly
OF the unlettered and recently enfran.
chised blacks.

Delta is connected with Vicksbure
bya ferryboat, the Omaha City, Il first
class craft, upon which the passenger
goes, Immediately upon reaching Delta
and is thence, in 80 minutes, transport
ed to Nicksburg, in the midst Of as noisy
and impecunious gang Of hackmen as
we have ever seen. Their avarict
knows no bounds, and they arc as SHARP
as distilled vinegar.
Thus far, it does not appear that Del
ia has met the expectation of its friend:
in the extent of its commerce, and, i
we were to speak our mind, we should
say it never will; since it's friends have
believed it would rise to the proni
nencc of the second or third bushes:
point in the State; whereas, the trade
so far, is almost entirely local. The
merchants of Monroe and those along
the line Of the railroad will be very
short-sighted, if they permit trade t.
pass their doors to seek accommodation
at Delta, and in such Il struggle Delta
cannot redeem the expectations of it
friends.
