The b!oodthirstiness Of the Southern
blacks is dreadful to contemplate. Look
at the extreme cruelty OF tn II cemeGnOr
! d,-fenseless whites of Memphis: call to
mind their atrocities at ColfaA look
bacl; at their bloody doings at Coshutta
! and Vicksburg. and i'll the streets Of
New Orleans. 1t is horrible and ren-
dered all the more SO by the contrasted

thence and CLri~tianlike resignation of
the gentle and euileless white people Of
the. downtrodden South. 4 few days
since we were informed OF tie lamenta-

in Kentucky were driven The bloody
minded blacks contemplated one OF their
lorrid midnight raids. The gentle
hearted whites uprose in their terror ard
slew dozen or more O! their wcuid-be
nurierers. In Tennessee congrega-
ton of black assassins were found en-
their knees at prayer meeting. Il be-
came the uOurnful duty Of the oppressed
and n!irtyr-Eke whites to dispense the
meeting with musketry f-e, and to leave
several of their tawuy assailants lying
dead upon the floor. And in like man
ner, in many instances have the lambs
OF the Caucasian race CT the South been
forced TO take Up arms asains: the black
wolves who prowl at their doors and
cries for blood. And yet. with all these
narrowing facts sta-ing them in tie face,
there are Northern Radicals who laugh
at TIE calamities of the oppressed white
people of the South. and mock their
fears. These have not Lesitated to say
that at the Memphis grave yard the kill

heaIi.e,s i murder as the massacre of

when the whole fighting strength OF the
South was in the field, and the planta-

thousands of black men. were conducted
and controlled by old men and defence
