CHARACTERS OF RADICAL NEGRoE AT PORT
HUDSON.
The following from the Baton Rouge
Advocate would indicate that the outrage
business IL not carried on by the blood
thirsty Southern white men: The history
oi.RsdicaI turbulence at Port Hudson runs
back to 1867. In that memorable year
CARPET baggers sprsDg ZAP among us as
thick ss fszs in a msnger-(God knows
tney bave sucked hsrdeT)-and OF course
Port Hudson got her pro rata. These
birds of passage gathered the negroes TO-
Rether from the various plantations,
bresthed into tbeiI ears nothing nut "wa
tn the knife aaa kni 20 the hllt" again 81
the native wbii people, and the ne sro
actually became belligereut when his
employer excited of him strics
Compliance OF his contract IS a field
rad. Any day in the weeF wnen
called our by his carYet-oaF leader
to "'tend a meetin" he could lay
ASIDE everything, buckle on mis- pistols,
the never mad less tOan t"o) shoulder his
muske', mount his poay al gallop of TO
the place Of renoezvOu-, Entra he wOul1
naest tna men o his beat and be- taken in
charge by the captain OF that beat. Then
in regular military fier thew would
march to the place des .guated for meeting.
Alter hearIog nafsnf ,ues of the most foul,
lips of men, some { whom are to day fss-
tened on US as Ulcers By the returning
board, they Wol lid depart bowling and
dsmning every viii 3 person who passed
them by the aysi6e, ladies not excepted.
Such is the character of the negroes WOO
gathered u emseives on Smiths Mount
Pleasant iantstioO. We remember very
distinctly GNat in October, 1870, about Two
hundred of these Port Hudson negroes
made ar armed raid into E4s F5iiciana to
the town OF Jackson for the openly avOwed
puTp ~ of
KILLING TIE MEN, RAvIsHING THE WOMEN,
SIC Sing the st res and burning the town,
AID it was only through the forbearing
disposition of the white people, aud the
firm, prudent action of sheriff Da Pew,
that a e. ht be.ween the races did not take
place on taas occasion. This is not the
ONLY raid OF the kind trey have been en-
gsged in, but our LIMITED space warns Us
