A LIE PROMPTLY NAILED.--The

one Of the physicians returned from
NJ emphis, in which lie had been authen
tically inforlaod that white women mad
to take negro men as nurses or 90 with
out and that such negro men nurse:
have taken advantage Of their helpless
victims. Mr.. Heating, editor Of the
Memphis -lppcal, having his attention
called 10 the statement, rronounces Il
utterly untrue, ami adds "No man
white or black, would be allowed tt
breathe n second breath after such /
crime has been committed. White
women have not been reduced to th'
necessity Of negro men for nurses. Th'
statement is libel upon the negroes o
Me mphis. All honor to them. The.
have acted by us nobly as policemen: a
soldiers, as we'll as nurses. They have
responded to every call made upon then
in proportion to their numbers quite Al
promptly as thc whites. y few of then
threatened !ronhlc about food at ont
time, but they were at the moment sup
pressed bya company Of citizen soldiers
of their OWL color. The colorel people
of Memphis, as u body, deserve we'll o.
their white citizens. We appre-
ciatc and are proud of them"

new victim passes through the portals of

An Apology.

We received very kind invitation
from the good people Of lower Fairfield
to be with them on last Saturday to q
grand barbecue to be given at Helms
store. We promised them to be there,
and regret exceedingly that pressing

that the affair was in every way a suc>
cess; and we yet look forward to the
time when we can shake the hands OF
these our quondam associates upon some
other happy occasion. Gen. Bratton, OF
Winnsborc, aud the genial, whole-soul
Means Davis, editor of the FAIRFIELD Ncws
aad HeraM, with a good many others,
gave Il "push-of'' TO the campaign by
first>rate speeches. Our best wishes
are always with these most estimable
citizens.

suffering countrymen.
1t is grand, a sublime spectacle to
witness to-day the noLls manifestations
of bro,herly kindness that anlmates the
people who, but yesterday, were our
enemies. Those who flashed their swords
but few years ago upon the b:oody
field Of battle, and who wrestled with
us in mortal combat, are now leaning
over the sick beds of their suffering
brethren, and softening their dying pill
lows. Each wire tells us what Chicago,
New York, Boston and an hundred
other places are doing; and this alone
is enough to forever bury the burning
embers of discord, and sink into an
eternal abyss so deep all the sectional
feelings that IA bubble will not arise to
tell whore it was." Brethren Of the
North, We thank you. 1t is practical
exhibition of your feelings. We meet
you and clasp warmly your hand. We
will remember this, and while politi-
clans may stir afresh wounds that are
we'll nigh healed, We will not forget the
time, when pcstilence stalked abroad,
that your strong arm did all it could in
our defense.
