1t is certainly the purpose of the more
advanced and most active leaders of the
Radical party to force negro suffrage upon
the loyal States as well as upon the South.
Sumner, Wendell Phillips and some
others do not hesitate to avow that. As
soon as the strong arm Of central power
shall have finished the work of Africani-
zing the South, then these revolutionists
will insist that the same power be applied
to force negro suffrage upon the loyal
States, whether the people wish it or not
1t remains TO be seen how far these crazy
destructives can 60. 1t may be that the
Republican party will go with them to any
length in overriding the constitution, COM
mon sense and everything else; but there
are indications of a split in the party. The
views of Senator Trumbull as published
in a Chi cago paper, show that he does not
endorse the Sumner negro programme with
regard to the loyal States. Mr.. Trumbull is
one of the most powerful men of his party, and
very Radical in many respects, but he can
not swallow quite such large revoluntion.
ary dose. We are inclined 10 believe, from
the views Of this leading Senator, which
are ably expressed, that a reaction and
split will take place in the Republican
party on the negro question. The more
sensible and Conservative begin TO think
that negro fanaticism has been carried
quite far enough, or too far. The sooner
this reaction comes the better for the peace
and welfare Of the country, North and

The Memphis Bulletin, in giving the de-
tails of shocking highway robbery on last
Friday night, says:


The negroes who are too idle to work,
and prefer theft and highway robbery to
labor, in order to obtain living, seem to
have banded themselves together into reg
ular organized gangs, and infest the out
skirts of the city, in order to waylay pedes-
trians for the purpose of robbing them.
They are to be found on all the principal
roads leading out of the city, and the po-
lice appear to have no terrors for them, and
they ply their nefarious vocation of stop
ping travellers and robbing them of their
money and valuables with the most perfect
impunity. They are all armed to the teeth
with pistols and knives, and their order to
stand and deliver" is generally promptly
attended to, as the victim has no alterna-
tive but to hand over his money and watch,
or to shuttle off his mortal coil on the
shortest possible notice.

AVigOFOus Policy to be Pursued.


The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer writing on the 4th
says


Yesterday General Grant was engaged
all day in the transaction of very important
business connected with the Indian war in
the West. Reports on the subject have Just
been received from General Sherman and
Generl Hancock, which render it evident
that the Indian war which we have upon
our hands is going to assume larger pro-
portions than any one supposed, and that
it will last for years, unless it is quelled
this year; and, furthermore, that its success
ful prosecution will require very large and
immediate reinforcements to the troops
already or the ground. All that has been
done up 10 this time has been merely pre-
liminary, and with the lingering hope that
peace might yet be secured. This hope has
now been abandoned by General Sherman,
and he states that the war must be prose-
cuted at once and with the greatest vigor.
The hostile Indians are not numerous, but
their peculiar manner ofcarrying on hostili-
ties renders one Indian more than match
for ten white soldiers. They have been
supplied with rifles of the most approved
construction, which carry a ball with accu-
racy to an almost incredible distance, and
whenever they fire a white soldier dies.
They generally prefer, however, to use their
bows and arrows, and these weapons are as
much dreaded by the soldiers as firearms
for the arrows always hit the mark, and the
wound which they infict is generally fatal,
and always exceedingly painful and dan
gerous.


In consequence of the bitter hostility of
the Indians and the feTocity with which
they make their attacks, work upon the
Pacific railroad is greatly impeded, if, in
deed, it is not virtually suspended, and ali
travel across the plains is at the risk of life.
General Grant is determined that this state
of things shall not continue General
Sherman is to be at once furnished with all
the troops he requires, and the war is to be
carried on with such vigor as may insure
its termination, it is hoped, during the
present wear

THE FAMILY NEWSPAPER.


The newspaper may be regarded as letter from
the rest of mankind to him who receives it, and he
who, ignoring this correspondence refuses to heal
from his brother man, not only deprives himself o.
o large amount of social happiness, but does q Sc
rious injury to his intellectual and moral nature
The press like every other power for good is Otter
employed in the service of the devil; hence, news
papers are not to b indiscriminately commended
The mere political paper, devoted to the Interests
of party, and breathing out threatenings ane
slaughter against its enemies or the literary, sen
sationa journal, panderng to the vitiated tastes
corrupt populace are instruments OF eVl
instead of good, and for them we have nothing II
say. BUTT is in behalf of the Famiy Newspaper
devoted to science, morals, literature and genera
intelligence, that we would say word. Such ;
newspaper is the handmaid of virtue and truth


ministering angel of good to every household
visits, whose tendency is to make wise heads ant
happy hearts.
| It's teeming columns of prose and poetry, fac
and fiction wit and wisdom, pour into the mind
rich variety of thoughts, which strengthenand en-
large its powers Novelty stimulates the intellec
to pleasing exertion, which often produces relisl
for more substantial reading. As the palate pre-
fers the cool water just from the bubbing tount
50 the mind delights most in thoughts that com
fresh from the great heart Of the world.


But the newspaper has still higher claim, a
the cultivator of the moral nature. To be happy
a man must look not only on his own things, bu
also, on the things of others. That is, he mus
cultivate his benevolent feelings and feel an inter
est in the welfare, not merely of his next doc
neiehbor, but, becoming cosmopolitan in his views
must look upon himself as interested in all tina
concerns his fellow man. But how shall ne teela
interest in world of which he does not know, an
how shall he know of world from which ne doe
not hear, and how shall he hear without a newspa
