WHAT 1T HAS COME TO.
Whites Attacked by Negroes.
From the West Virginia Courier.l

FROM the west Nirglnla SouieI.J
We give upon reliable authority the
following statement: One day las
week a man named William Carter en-
camped with produce near the working
place of number of negroes employed
by B. w. Walthan d Co., on the Z. d
o. R. R., near the Falls Of Kanawha.
The negroes took Carters produce and
his pocket-book, and in consequence a
difficulty occurred between some white
men (Carter's frieLds, working for DR..
Lewis) and the negroes. This commo-
ton subsided without serious result.
On Sunday morning a lot OF negroes
came to Guthrie's store, making threats
of what they would do with the
whites" and making themselves often
sive generally. The white men drove
them off, causing no injury to any OF
them. In the afternoon, having gone
to Loup Creek and reinforced, these
negroes returned, fifty or sixty strong,
armed with rocks and clubs, and three
or four guns. The white men, who
had learned of the approach Of the
colored law-abiding equals, prepared
themselves for a defense, numbering
about thirty. The negroes advanced,
menacing the white men, and attempt
ed to gain the advantage OF command
ing position on the hillside. This move
ment was frustrated by the white men,
who themselves secured the position,
and the fight commenced, the blacks
taking the offensive. The white men
had two or three pistols, and the report
is that two of the Africans were hurt.
Be that as it may, the difficulty was the
result Of the Radical policy OF elevating
the negro and degrading the white race.
What has come to pass in this valley
will come to pass elsewhere and every
where. Turn these semi-barbarians
loose upon communities, deprive white
men of their legal remedies, give to ne
groes superior privileges and immuni-
ties, and as in this instance, white men
of all parties will defend themselves,
and resent and punish the insults and
injuries, for which it is the intention Of
the Radical party to give them no rem
edy.
Let them, as heretofore, organize
their midnight negro bands OF negro
conspirators against the peace and COM
fort, and interests and lives OF white
men, let them pervert the principles OF
free government and impartial suffrage
by devoted zeal for the degradation
and humiliation of white men, and the
elevation and supremacy OF the negro,
let them sacrifice at the cost Of their
honor, and decency and seli-respect, OF
which they have none left, the dignity
and position Of the white race, and they
will find in the end that there is an
Eternal God to watch over and protect
the interests of his people, and who
will interpose through the voice OF
the people in time to prevent the
Of his immutable purposes
and DEGREES. The radical party
is dwindling. It's ranks are growing
thin. One by one the honest yeomanry
of the country have been leaving the
party that has betrayed them; and
now, as il to consummate the glorious
which radical pertidy and
corruption have secured, they are
changing by dozens in every communl-
ty. The disgraceful occurrence at
Loup Creek, in which Radicals and
Democrats alike had to unite for
common defense. against the negroes,
will make fifty votes in that section for
the Democracy, and, we have no doubt
set Alright hundreds Of others. The
white mans party will prevail, and we
owe its success to honest white men OF
the country.
OuirageOus-More Niggerism.
Two white ladies were assaulted in
the street, near the Valley Bank, last
night by three negroes. Mr. John
Skees interiered and tn negroes es-
capped without being identified. Our
worthy cotemporary OF the Radical
persuasion will say that this outrage
has made Radical votes. Yes, liRe
Others in the county, "over the left.
The Journal of today publishes two
cards purporting to be from men who
have abandoned the Democratic party
and turned Radical. These men are
Parker Means and Charles Brown.
Means has always been a negro equality
loving Radical, and Brown is the same
young apostle of the negro religion, who
stabbed Hamilton Tor telling him to his
face of his African proclivities. Poor
