r3- The Mississippi Radicals are de-
termined TO make the most OF their short
lease of power. They complain loudly,
and make capital Of the fact that con-
servative Southerners are occasionally
unwilling to support black men whose
business it is to despoil and govern them;
but they. think nothing of taking away
the most sacred and inalienable rights OF
white men who dare to vote against their
wishes, or who even choose to do no voting
at ALL There can be no doubt they are
determined to serve their own base pur-
poses at the expense Of what may come,
though it should include the war of races.
They will play the tyrant at all hazards.
Is there any villainy such creatures
would not practice2 or epithets of the
language capable of exhibiting their true
character? The following melancholy
extract from the Vicksburg Miss
Telegraph will show that the worst opin'
ion we could express Of them is tame and
mild comparison with their deserts.
They are doing their worst, and can do
no more:


Prominent Radicals in this State de-
clare that SO soon as the election is over
they will advocate the dislranchisement
of all who vote against convention,
and of all who do not vote. This course
on their part is predicated on the assump-
ton that the State will go largely for a
convention, and that the elements OF
which this body will be composed, can
be readily moulded to their netariouss
purposes. 1t is not the intention OF
these miserable wretches to discuss
this move more openly through the
columns of their dirty mouth pieces,
Lut they reserve it as a grand
coup d etat" which will strike terror
to the "rebel heart" and bring home to
the people of Mississippi the real intents
and purposes Of the Radical party. We
have no advice to offer upon the question
of convention or no convention. We see
what reconstruction has been in other
States-"a black carnival of license
ushered in by fraud and medltated vio-
lence; until things have come to such a
pass that the cry of the demoralzed
blacks is not merely for the property OF
the whites, but for the blood Of all who
oppose them" With these lights
before them, the true men of Mississippi
can no longer hesitate as to the part they
are to take in the coming drama. For
ourselves, we want no birthright in a
land where vice and ignorance WELD
undisputed sway = where brute force
alone is recognized, and where truth,
honor and virtue are things of the past.
Better, far better, it were to bid the land
of our birth an eternal farewell, and go
to the "uttermost parts of the earth,
than lend listening ear to the teaching
of radicalism, aud become Pariahs where
we have been Kings.

A band OF Indians made sudden at
tack upon detachment of our soldiers
in the mountains. The soldiers had q
mountain howitzer mounted on a mule.
Not having time to take it of and put in
position, they backed up the mule and
let drive at the Indians. The load was
so heavy that mule aud all went tum.
bling down the hill toward the savages,
who, not understanding that kind of war
fare, fed like deer. Afterward one of
them was captured, and when asked why
he ran so, replied: Me big Injin not

E6T A New York correspondent says;
Thinking that one might as well make
a day of it, l attended church in the
evening also. The Bishop Of Nebraska
preached, his subject being the need of
churches in that territory-whieh' m
deed, nobody can deny. He stated that
$1,000 would build a church, aud that
any individual subscribing that amount
was entitled TO erect a monument within
the walls TO the memory Of any friend.
Thus, he said, a lady in Boston erected
monument to the virtues Of her departed
husband, while a gentleman in Chicago
erected one to the departed virtues Of his
wife. The inadvertent transposition
struck me as being rather funny, taken
in that connection"

And where her left hand touched. the bean,
Rose towering fresh and young;
And whore her right hand swept, the maize,
In golden glory sprung.

Or take it baked in pone,
Or like it best as Johnny cake,

That corn first came from fairy-land,

A young lady. who is fond of horse
back exercise, requests Us to say q few
words on the subject, or to give her such
instruction as will make her a perfect
rider. Constant practice alone will do
that but here is an article, that we
have selected, which viii furnish few
hints for her government. In the first
place, ladies ride entirely by balance
that is, the best lady riders do--and uu-
less the seat is square, the position is a
sadly uncertain one, A series of bounds
or shuffling shy across the road will not
unseat the plant figure that is settled well
in the mid lie Of her saddle, ready to come
down tightly to it at a moments warn
ing; whereas, even sudden check in
the midst of canters will be sufficient to
unseat, or, at least throw forward in an un-
seemly manner, woman who either ap-
pears to hang on by the near pommel alone,

In learning to ride, or in keeping it up
when you have once learned, there is
nothing so conducive to satisfactory end
as a constant change Of animal. One
horse will never teach any one to ride any
but himself You may learn to sit that
individual horse admirably, and manage
him excellently, and cut very fair
cquestrian figure in his company and by
his aid but long course of riding him,
aud him alone, will never prepare you for
riding and managing another. A ire
quent change is the only thing to render
you both fearless and skillful; to enable
you to rapidly adapt your hand to a fine
or hard mouth; to teach you how far
coercion will 60, and when it becomes a
desirable thing to commence humoring.


1t is utterly impossible for lady to
to have a good seat on horse whose
shoulders do not come up we'll. A hollow
Backed horse is the one to give her the
best seat in trotting We do not say that
he is the best horse for her to ride, or the
most elegant; but, unquestionably, he is
the easiest, as there is more to sit to, and
consequently more to rise to. A long
horse with a straight back and a racing
gait, is very elegant to look at, and very
easy to ride when cantering or at full
stretch; but he is sure to have run
ming trot, than which few things are
more unsatisfactory. indescribable and
disagrceable.


Learn as quickly as possible to ride
quietly. A fussy, ,shOwy, ,prancing progress
through the highways of the world is to
be reprehended, under any circumstances,
and especially is to be 80 on horseback.
To restrain spirited horse is one Of the
most difficult lessons to be learned con-
nected with the science of riding but it
is one that must be learned before the
epithet "goood style" can be applied to
the performance. Nothing re-assures o
nervous, spirited, fdgety horse SO much
as tie hand and voice. Give him both
freely. a firm, light pat on his neck,
and word or two spoken quietly and
brightly, will enable horse very often
to retain his head under circumstances of
noise and confusion, that bid fair. miu.
ute before, to upset his oomposure and his
riders seat. l -atu t.l g..
