ALEXANDRIA, VA.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER u, 1876.

Weuda Phillips, one of the ablcst and most
obseryant men smong the radicals, says that
the Southeruer understands politics better, and
is more crafty and successful politician than
a northern man There is certainly 90 doubt
about the truth Of the first part OF his asser-
ton, and many there be who believe 10 that OF
the last also; and yet, the newspapers of his
party are daily filled with editorials and daony-
NOUS communications attempting to prove that
this same Southerner ought to be put IN lu-
natic asylum-tor surely no man With ordinary
common sense, intent upon achieving puf'
pose, would 60 to work deliberately to do that
which be knows will prove certain and effec-
tual bar to his success-and there can be no
more certain and ctfectuai way OF defeating
Gov. Tilden than for southern people to be maDi-
Testing hostility to the Government under which
they live, and to spend the greater portion OF
their livesin saughtering negroes as these radl'
cal papers would make their readers believe.
Another reason for the enlargement OF the asy-
lums, that is if the radicals tell the truth, is
that the outrages upon the negroes always &C.
cur, not in districts where the white people are
in majority, and where it is but natural 10
suppose race sympathy might be tempted 10
shield the offenders, but invariably 10 districts
10 which the negroes are largely in the major
ity. and in which all the local and State officers
are in the bauds of the enemies OF the offend
ers, and iu which, also, the offenders would be
reduced to starvation but for the voluntary
labor of those upon whom they iuflct the re-
peated outragcs. The plan of the outrage
campaign must have been adopted without con-
sultipg Mr. Phillips, aod as its success will de
pend altogether upon ideas directly autagonis
tic, not only to his, but to those OF ali sensible
men, and will necessarily imply belief ou the
part of the people Of the North that the voters
of the South have less sense than Thompson
colt, which walked 10 the river to get out Of
the rain, and which belief would be at utter
variance with theirwhole experience, aud prove
them to be the most guiole people on the
face of the earth, We do not doubt its failure,
and that its originators will regret having de-
yised so foolish scheme.

Is. mol as encouraging as NC a%ntiei-
pated, Our correspondent gives the
result as "a drawn battle" after sew
eral hours of hard fighting. Ii must
be admitted that the Sioux will fight,
and that they are bold enough to at
tack, when permitted to choose their
ground. Our boys in blue fought
well and kept their ground, the In
dams retiring from the field. While
we know our losses, that of the saw
ages is not ascertained, as they will,
under all circumstances, cover up
their casualties, giving their .oppo-
nents no opportunity to learn the ex-
tent of their losses. Gen. Crook is
reported to have retired to his old
camp on Goose Creek, for the pur-
pose of getting fresh supplies and
ammunition; he will therefore soon be
able to m the fights, if the Sioux
remain in that vicinity.
Gen. Terry's and Gen. Gibbons
commands must be within a few DAYS
march of the battle field, and they
will undoubtedly join Gen. Crook in
a combined attack upon the Indian
stronghold on the Rosebud. The
village which was in sight of our
brave soldiers when 6ehting Sitting
Bulls warriors, is doomed; the great
battle of this summers campaign will
be fought soon, if it has not already
taken place.
