THE yICKsRURG TROUBLES.

The South, with all its wonderful
resources, its beauties, its genial
climate, its productive soil and varied
agricultural growths, seems to be
doomed to perpetual unrest. The
latest sensation is from Vicksburg.-
1t seems to have been the misfortune
of the people of Warren county in
the State of Mississippi, to have a
negro Sheriff. This Sheriff seemed
to think the fact of being a negro
u ward of the "nation," was quite
suflcient--and he aught to be al
lowed to perform the duties of the
office without giving bonds. The
taxpayers of the county thought
differently, and called upon Mr.
Crosby, the sable Sheriff, to resign,
which, ut first he declined to do, and
called upon his sable brethren to pro-
tect him in holding on to the Office.
They flocked to his support, to the
number of about $50. A fight was
the result; 70 or more negroes killed,
o number wounded and about 40
taken prisoners. Other negroes
were raiding in the country, burning
barns, cotton gins, dwellings,, sc.
In speaking of this subject, the
Oregoaian, of the 9th, says; every
day it becomes moro clear that there
is something radically wrong in the
method Of governing the South. -
True, the attempt at the close of the
war to govern the South by the use
Of federal bayonets was radically
wrong" and any and every attempt
to govern it by federal authority was
radically wrong" and SO said the
Democracy at the time, If the peo-
pie of the South, at the close of the
war, had been permitted to continue
in the exercise Of self-government,
without dictation or interference of
federal authority, in their political or
social relations, the negroes would
have taken their places as laborers
for hire; would have been encour-
aged by the whites to improve their
intellectual status; the condition OF
society would not have suffered as il
has, and the productive and COM
mercial interests of the country
would soon again have resumed its
former prosperity. All the suffering
at the South since the close Of the
war is the legitimate result of radi-
cal rule it was aimed at the whites,
but ii has fallen alike upon the
blacks.
