now deceased. The followinga are extracts:
I'VE left at night on the X. b. Lee. one
of our finest steamers, and landed. at the
Hurricane plantation about daylight the
next morning. This plantation, and an
other known as Briarfeld. were occupied
before the war by Joseph f.. Davis aud his
brother, President Davis. They were sold
by Joseph Z. DAVIS, who owned them both,
to his fav"rite freedman, Ben. Montgomery.
for S30. 900, payable at the end of ten years
(lst of January, 1870, interest at 6 per
cent, payable annually. Ben, who is very
black, but thoroughly educated before the
war, met US and gave US breakfast, wait
ing on the table himself, hut not offering
to take scat. After breakfast we had n
carriage and rode over the magnificent es.
tate, tho extent Of w ich you can firm
some idea Of, when / tell you that Ben
Montgomery made last year $500 bales of
cotton, and large quantity of corn. We
dined at Briariield, the former residence of
Jefferson Davis, and now occupied as n
residence by the aforesaid Ben. and you
will not be surprised to learn that the for.
mer slaves of Davis greeted him with all
the warmth of affection that they were ca.
pablo of expressing. Davis met them
very cordially, and encouraged them by
many kind words. After dinner, ut
which our wealthy host again waited on US
in elegant style. we passed on TO very
large and valuable plantation which has
been purchased by Ben Montgomery and
added to the Davis estate, and which will
add ito his crop this year probably 1000
bales more, making $500 in all if it is a
good crop year.

A SOUTHERN exchange has the TO

A SOUTHERN exchange has the fol-
lowing account of late Radical
Ku-Klux horror: Information
has been received at Greensborough,
N. c., of brutal outrage in CASTOR
county, committed by two negroes.
upon young girl of fourteen, in
presence of Mrs. -Stroup, her sick
and widowed mother; the atrocity
being committed by each. while the
other held loaded pistol at the in
valid's head to prevent alarm. This,
it is to be remembered, is one of
these strictly loyal proceedings which
do not find their way into congress

niggers, all ,radicalism would fairly
froth at the mouth over it, and de-

expression of di-approba'ion went through
the crowd. Ahadie was accused Of com.

threatened with the guillo,ine. A,tw

GRANT GETS ANOTHER SLAP.

Sherman, the great incendiary and
barn-burner of the lat. unpleasant
ness has been recently punching
Grant up pretty lively i'll speech at
New Orleans. A few weeks ago lot
of Hiram Ulysses minions and carpet
bag appointees at New Orleans gave,
Sherman spread" counsi sting of
wines, etc., stolen from Southern
cellars. and when hash and drinks
had been discussed pretty freely. the
man who yandalized more Southern
homes than any other General was
called out for speech, and here is
the way he prodded up Grants Ku-
Klux infamies:
ST believe this Government will
keep on growing until it spreads it
self over the entire American CONT
nent, but in order to gain this much
desired end, and to maintain our
selves as free and Independent re-
public, we have got to show more
charity toward each other. 1t has
been remarked by some gentlemen
who has preceded me, that it was
generally conceded by the soldiers of
both armies at the close of the war, ],
that II, the questions and all the mat
ters of the settlement of the differen-
lces between the North and South,
were left to tle armies it would be
settled at once and everything would
become quiet and orderly. SO be-
lieved, and before signing the agree
ment with Gen. Joe Johnston, I
called together all the Generals un-
der my command. and without a
dissenting voice they agreed with
me. I believed they surrendered, in
good faith, and would have lived up
to the very letter of agreement and
in my opinion, if there bad been no
reconstruction acts of Congress, and
the armies been left at the time to
settle all questions of differences be-
tween the different sections of the
country, the people would at once
have become quiet and peaceable. I
probably have as good means of in
formation as most persons in regard
to what is called the Ku-klux, and
am perfectly satisfied that the thing
is generally oyer-estimated: and if
the Ku-Klnx bills were put out of
Congress, and the army kept at their
legitimate duties, there are enough
! good and true men in all Southern

GRANT AS A SABBATH SCHOOL
SCHOLAR.

n8F.f mE. IaETiSu, Vi 0aieu utttlo
talk to the N. e. Sabbath School
Scholars Of this city, last Sunday. In
the course OF. his remarks, in attempt-
ing to stimulate the children to more
constant attendance upon the Sab
bath School, he informed them that
many great men had "got their start
by being Sabbath School scholars. =
"Why," said he. as he waxed warm
on the subject, .'even the great Presi-
dent of the United States was once q
Sabbath School scholarl"
Now, preachers, as a general rule,
may assert almost any absurdity. and
the people are prone to believe them
but when one of them invents a
fable of such glaring proportions
as that of the Rev. p, then even the
little children are excusable for dis
playing q want of confidence in his
words and lack of respect for his
clerical robes.
And we respectfully submit if it is
very encouraging to the good little
hoys who attend Sabbath School to
have Grant pointed out to them as
having once been an exemplary Sab
bath School scholar? The man who
has been proved willful liar by the
highest officials in the land; who
was, while ut Fort Vancouver and at
Portland, such drunken sot that
respectable ladies would draw up
their skirts when passing HIM for
fear ofcontamination, and boys would
shrink away from his blood-shot eyes
as from the gaze of u venomous rep
tile; the man whose name was asso-
ciated in disgraceful connection
with the vile and loathsome creatures
who still infest the borders Of the
towns and villages of the P.,cifc
coast to ply their nameless avocations
and spread their leprous infections;
the man who was o drunkard in ad-
versity and is tyrant in prosperity
who is devoid of the finer instincts
of mankind and wholly oblivious of
the sufferings of those victims whom
he sees fit to oppress for pelf or pow
er-is hardly a fit example for the
rising generation or model for the
Christian child. Washington, who
combined oil the graces and virtues
of Christian gentleman with the
elements of q wise ruler and states
man; or Lee, whose humility, piety
and firm reliance upon the Most High
God, even in the darkest hour of ad-
vesity, was the strengthening rod
which sustained his almost despairing
soul would be an eminent type of the
beauties of Christian education and
the fruits of early religious teachings.
But Grant?-who probably knows
about as much of the Ten Command
ments as Digger Indian knows of
Hebrew, and whose knowledge of
Christ's Sermon on the Mount is as
obscure as the pagan's ideas of a
Risen Savior! Please don't infect
the pure atmosphere of church
with the mention of his name, or
poison the children's minds against
the good and pure by citing to them
his pernicious examples.
