them on the footing of unnaturalized

THAT is what we propose to do with

1t will be remembered that some time
ago, mention was made in these columns
of a great scheme, concocted by the
Hooking Sentinel, for the conquest Of
Mexico. 1t will also be remembered
that we expressed at various times grave
doubts as to the feasibility of the ex-
tensive undertaking contemplated by
the Sentinel, and that on those occasions
we supplemented the same with touch
ing appeals to the Colossus who had it
in his heart to 1ide rough shod over the
soil of Mexico, followed by a multitude
of sanguinary devils with "demnition
rifles in their hands," to ease up, some
what, and make an effort to curb his
"mad ambition" Whether our coun-
selings were in any wise instrumental
in shaping the subsequent course of the
Sentinel, we refrain from offering an
opinion. But certain it is, that "Next
War" didn't come off.
The Sentinel, however has another
big undertaking in contemplation. This
time our own land is to be the scene of
his hurculean effort, and the disfran-
chisement of the "niggers" the object of
the struggle. That our readers may
know how he purposes going about this,
we print below some extracts from an
article in last weeks Sentinel entitled
"What we will do with the Niggsrs."
"The day tha gives the power into the
hands of the Democracy, dooms the poll
cy of nigger exaltation to death. We
will smite it down with swift and re-
morseless hand, and hurl it to the devil
without the benefit of clergy.
"There is no misunderstanding this
We submit at present, because it is the
law, but the power that made the law
can unmake it, and when that power
comes to the hand of the Democracy, as
come it will, we will use the power to
smash the Congo dynasty, clean up the
Statute Books by rending away the
whole chapter of Black Republican leg
islation; to place the sovereignty of the
country once more in the hands of the
only race able and fit to use it wisely
and well, reinstate the white man in his
place of power and supremacy, and re-
mand the negro to his proper position OF
subordination.
"Does this sound revolutionary? All
right. That is precisely what we think
about it. Affairs have been put in their
present order by revolution, and by
nothing else. The whole policy of the
party now in power was revolutionary
from the first, and is yet.

ent farmhouses, with the stipulation that
we should meet the following morning at
Chimney Rock, To interview Professor Du.
pree, Professor of y atural Science, WafiOrd
College. Spartanburg, South Carolina.
Saturday morning We met the Professor,
and after going through portion OF Bald
Mountain with him, held the private in
terview at Justiss' Tavern. The people
had heard of the contemplated interview,
and gathered from far.and wide about the
hotel. 1t was impossible TO keep them
out of the room.
WHAT THE PROFESSOR SAID.
al have examined into the nature of
these noises, and my questions have been
stated by the people, rs connected with
the broad theory of volcanic movements.
The noises heard on the mountains are
COMMON TO BOTH EARTHQUAKES AND VOL
CANIC MOVEMENTS.
As far as 1 have heard, the explosive
noises that have begun these rumblings
are characteristic of volcanic movements.
The limited area of the noise and shocks
seems also to favor volcanic movements.
This does not embrace more than ten or
twelve miles. All shocks have been be-
tween two large rivers, the Broad and Ca
tawba, both of which head from these
mountains.
If this was an earthquake wave, il would
not be so limited in its area, and as vol
canic movement would not be extending at
SO great distance from the sea, the question
remains to be decided. May not this be an
earthquake wave, limited in its area by the
two large rivers bounding it?
Brother Logan here asked the Professor
If he thought there was any danger, TO
which there was a negative reply. The
preacher said that after the shock at Wild
Ow Mans and the sudden departure of the
newspaper man and the scientists, the peo-
pie had become more demoralized than
ever, and that, as he had to preach TO them
on the following day, he wished to have
it, from our own lips that we were not
scared and that there was no danger. We
gave him ample assurance and left at
nightfall for Bald Mountain, to observe as
to the reported bright lights to be seen
thereupon. We.saw a bright haze through

and well known citizens OF Western
North Carolina, informs the Asheville Er-
pOsitor that about siXty-five years ago the
people were terribly excited by rum

they thought was in that mountain, lights
could be seen at night. The noise contin-
ued for about ten days, and then, to the
joy of the people, it ceased. After the peo-
pie had recovered from their alarm they

noise, so they began to explore the noun
