nal: Judging Walworth's motives
previous to the Killing, by the light
of his subsequent conduct, We would
pronounce him deliberate and cold
blooded murderous brute, without
spark Of humanity, without siugle
Instinct Of gentility. No person of
the ordinary mould can kill any hu-
man being without experiencing some
rcmo,se but to show no compuuc-
tion for having hastened 'iuto eternity

"slavory Re- established in Georgia"
Undcr this heading an article ap-
peared in the Washington Chronicle
and was copied by the Columbia
Union-Herald, containing commcpts
Upon an advertisement Inserted III
the Georgia Appeal, by one N. y.
Cr"zier, stating that two freedmen
who had Contracted to work for him
the present year have abscondcd, and
warning all persons not to harGor or
employ thom. The Chronicle is much
exercised about this notice and thinks
that slavery has been practically re-
established in our good Democratic
sister State. 1t hints that the cm-

severely than accorded with their
their ideas Of justice" They may
not have been fed or lodged oom-
fortably, aud in 6ue may have had
ample cause for running away from
this "Samaritan." The Chronicle
thinks that prolslly no redress is
granted the freedman by the laws of
Georgia, and he has to take the law in
his own hands by absconding.
Assuming that thero is discrim. {.
ination against the freedman the
Chrohicle thinks it tonvcys lesson
for them to ponder. Now we are not
surprised that Col: Forney of the
Chronicle should utter such sonti.
ments, and take such preiudiced
views, as he has probably never been
in the South in his life and knows
nothing of the colorcd laboror in the
cotton folds, but We did expect better
from the Union Herald than to repro .
duce them. The editor Of the latter
paper has been in South Carolina
long enough 70 know that the very
thing which frightcns Northern farm
ers from our State is the unrelia bill
ty of labor. The colorcd laborcr has
no conception of the binding powers
of a contract; and violates it without
hesitation. Great numbers of the
colorcd people are lazy, triGing and
shiftless; aud SO soon as the SUN gets
too hot, or the grass too luxuriant,
they loaf around towns and cities,
eking out precarious subsistence
and stealing when they are in want

In this State the laboror has the power
to compel his employer to fulfil this
contract, and he doubtless has the
same right in Georgia; as his legal
rights are secured to him. IF, as tho
Chronicle supposes, Mr.. ,Crozict has
not fulfilled his portion of tho con-
tract, why did not his employees re
