A FoRTY-AcRE AND MULE STORY-A Virgi-
MIA correspondent of the New York Commercial
Advertiser tells the following story: At the
close of the war there was general impression
among the negroes that the estates of their mas
tiers were to be cut up and divided among the ex-
slaves every African mother was to have forty
acres Of land aud mule. The story is told in a
neighboring county that on one occasional Yam
kee, out at elbows, strolling along in search of
supper, met q negro TO whom he stated that he
was sent by Government to measure off the
aIlotments." Delighted to hear the good news,
the darkey said: " You is de gemman, sab, dat
we've been lookIn for dis long time" The Yam
kee reminded the negro" that the Government
fee was ten dollars, and having got all the green.
backs the poor fellow had " on account" he pro-
missed to call again for the balance. At the ne
gro's request he wrote receipt" and the fol-
lowing is copy of the document:
As Moses lifted up the serpent in the vii.
derness, so have lifted Five Dollars and Ten
Ceats from Uncle Tom. JACK STRAW"
Mr.. Straw never paid another visit to Uncle
Tom, and the forty acres and the mule went up.
Wretches who could thus swindle the poor color
ed people deserve justice on the Jedburgh plan

This is the last number Of the GA
zETTE we shall send to any one, white
or colored, Republican, Liberal OF
Democrat, who has not paid the sub.
scription or informed us of his inten.
ton or desire about it. On taking
charge of the Office, We found the sub.
scription list in such a state, that it
was impossible to tell who had paid
and for what time, and therefore we
respectfully requested those wishing
to continue it, to give notice. But few
have done SC, and the inference IS that
many who have hitherto taken it are
not willing to pay for it, and as We do
not care to do such q business any
longer, any one not receiving the pa.
per hereafter, will understand the rca
son, and if lie cares about it take the
proper steps to get it.
Not week goes over that we do
not have numerous demands Cor a pa
per, which we have never refused, and
have continued to send it to the sub
scribers or persons, put down on the
books as subscribers, and who have
received it, and paid moth
ing in some instances, since it's com.
From the LIST of October
we have had entire control of the pa.
per, and expect those who take it to
pay in advance from that time, or
have their ncmes, erased just as they
please.

Il. p. Hunter, Esq.

In the last number Of the Louisians
Democrat, our highly esteemed and
talented young friend, Mr.. Hunter
withdraws his name as the nominee Of
the Democratic party of Rapides, fol
the Office of Parish Judge, for which
his legal attainments and high person,
al character so eminently fitted him,
and which but for the prior claims OF
our old friend the nOmineezof the Re.
publican party, we would have been
highly pleased to have seen him OBJ
tain His card of withdrawal is quite
lengthy, and but for the want of space
We would publish it entire and may
do so yet, though in one short pithy
sen tence which We copy, it expresses
all we have been trying to prove in
extended editorials.
After explaining that he was not
quite prepared to eat his own words
concerning, or change Oh the plea of
political expediency, his opinion of
Governor Warmoth, he goes on as fol-
lows:
And further! I hare not been and am not
prepared to seek success By fraud. l have
been raised in q school Of morality, and be-
long to q class Of philosophers who do not be-
lieve that good can come from eril. / am not
prepared to purchase success, at the sacrifice
OF my name and self-respect."
Exactly so, the whole thing in nut
shell. Our ideas on the subject as we
said before, refined, condensed and
doubly distilled. He would not sacri-
fee his good name and self-respect,
because he possesses these invaluable
and knows their value,
but to those who have already lost or
never possessed them, public opinion
is of small consequence, as is the secret
Of those whose tools they
are.
1t is a great satisfaction and source |
ot pride to us to know that our senti
nents and indignation at the shame
Iul violation OF law and common homes |
~, b. which the election in this par
sh is expected to be carried BY the
actors and abetters of the course per-
sued, is shared not only by a manof
such standing and character, as Mr.
Hunter, but by many others who like
him, do not believe in doing evil, that
good may come, but on the contrary,
lavc declared their intention, Of with
folding their support from those most
prominent and active in the frauds
