Whites-USeless Appeals to the
President.
On all sides we hear the cry and din Of
armed forces. This week that 800 stands
of arms had been seen passing through
Cloutierville for this city to equip the ne
groes and protect them in their rights,
which are being seriously menaced by the
Just demand of the whites for their priv
leges and has it never occurred TO our
people how far severed are the rights of
the white man and the black2 We are
totally opposite in our opinions of liberty,
of Justice, OF privileges, and when the
black man l~egislates, he does so actuated
by his own ideas and for his own benefit.
These are truths that are self evident, and
the course Of the negro legislators in our
State for the past SIX years is proof as
strong as "Holy writ" to these state
ments.
The white people have become ~conginc-
ed that such is the true condition of af-
fairs. We have begged and entreated the
colored man to Ego with us" in the re-
deRption of the State have pictured to
him the happiness that would engender
to him and his should he assist US to pass
and enforce good and wholesome laws, to
provide for and foster public works of
great utility to all, to suppress crime, and
encourage honest toll and with what an
swer have our appeals been metz Few,
but very few, have even condescended to
listen to Us the mass OF them have regar-
ded us with suspicion, and from their con-
duct have led ne to believe that anything
which tends to prosperity, law, or order,
will be considered as depriviDg them Of
some vested right. We have appealed to
the Congress and The President OF the
United States for succor from the effects
of your ruinous legislation we have sup
plicated the Northern people to interfere
and protect US from your rash and head
strong conduct. All these supplieations
and appeals have been unheadsd. We
have nothing left but to submit and be
destroyed, or to appeal 70 that inherent
right the God Of nature has implanted in
every breast. Despair has raised the lion
in our nature, and that race, the Caucasian,
which has conquered since the foundation
of the world, will be the power with which
you will meet your destruction.
There is yet time to avert the danger,
and We make this the last appeal to you
ignorant, waywsrd negroes if you will
come with us We will give you protection,
homes, and contentment; if you refuse
then upon your own head be the blame

The Marauders Of Gibson
County.

The Memphis Avalanche gives
the following history of affairs in
this section: "During the civil
war this region was overrun by
squads of guerrillas claiming allie
glance to 10th Northern and
Southern armies, but really serv-
ing in neither. Col. Hawkins
commanded requirement. of fed
eral marauders, chiefly made up
in the counties adjacent to Gibson,
and several parties of Southern
adherents roamed over the r-gion,
both sides taking horses and 9TH
er property from the citizens at
will. Many deeds Of blood were
perpetrated during this period.
At the close of hostilities many
of these disbanded guerrillas re-
mained in the country, and for
three years or more, there was a
regular understanding between
them in ranges cf'country embrac-
ing Dyer, Gibson, Madison, Zip
ton, and McNairy counties. Over
the whole range Of country from
the Mississippi to the Tenness ee
river, rapine, arson, robbery, and
murder were an almost daily oc-
currence. One Budd Evans was the
a2knJwiedsed lea.ler OF these pre-
datory night-hawks, aud a reign
of terror prevailed among the most
respectable citizens. Gov. Brown
low and his administration were
powerless to stop blood0hcd or
check lawlessness. Men were
torn from their wives and chill
dren, and shol down and left by
the roadside, often not being al,
lowed to say a single prayer, when
they were guilty OF no onense.
