Men of Alabama . —If there ever was a nation that needed a reform in the ad- m nistrntiou of its affairs, that nation is the United States of Ameriea. Especially is this the cose in the Sontheru States where lawlessness and crime are consid ered virtues, and honesty and virtue are looked upon by very many almost with contempt. If ever a people *as cursed with misrule, we of the Sonth ate that people; and the time hss certainly come when it behooves ns, calmly and delibe rately, to reflect whither the tide of ad verse circumstances undo* whioh we how been so long buried is now rapidly drift ing us. Vet not so maoh does it ooucern ns to know whither tendH our coarse, as to know what to do, that we may be able to avert the sad fate that awaits ns. If things go on as they have gone on for the last few years, it needs no prophet’s skill to foretell our doom; bat it does need tho best judgment of oar best and wisest men to plan a way whereby we may extri cate ourselves from the difficulties that are fast making a desolation of our once happy and prosperous country, and bow ing down with shame the spirits of its noble sons and daughters. I am addressing the men of the South— particularly the men of Alabama with their wives and daughters, and I emphasize “men" because there is more than one spe cies of human bipeds among us. There is tbe vile wretch that would sell his conn- try for office and betray his God for gold; that would wash his hands in his brother’s blood and steal away his sister's honor for offioe and for gold. Thero is also the M)or, ignorant and deluded negro whom, ed astray by these wretches, we should pity, and endeavor by all means in our power to improve and make a useful peo ple among us. Then, there are men— men noble-hearted and true—who “know the right and dare maintain it"; who, though they may often err, are conscien tious in tbeir errors—they will not yield thrir principles for office nor for gold, thongh the glittering, preoioas metal were piled before them mountain high, and robes of office decked with costliest gems o erspread the pile—they are men. It is natural that, placed in a situation such as ours, we should for a while des pond; but it is unmanly—yea, cowardly— to fall back upon the remembrance of what we have been, and make no effort to lift ourselves from tho slough into which we have fallen ; to sit quietly down and swollow, with a grin, every pill, whether sugar-coated or not, that is given us, and to think within ourselves that God lias cursed ns, and it is useless to struggle; that all our misfortunes bat bespeak His displeasure and we are powerless. Wo may be under His curse. He has cursed nations for their iniquities, and cities that have fallen under His displeas ure have, with all their pride, perished under His frown. Be that as it may, we have still to do our duties, and put forth onr greatest ef forts to regain the Divine favor. To do tbiR, we must bury animosities, lay aside prejudices, forgive and forget injuries, and cultivate obnrity and brotherly love, even for those who were once our enemies. A brave man cannot bear malice; it finds no place in his heart; though enemies in battle, when peaee comes, he burios the hate and p issions begotten of war, and is ready to extend the hand of friendship to his foe, and to forget they once stood mnzzlo to muzzle in the conflict. I hear men who have not carefully thought upon the matter, and wonieo, too, in whom one would think dwelt all the gentler virtues, say: “He or she is a Yan kee, and I have no use for any one from the Nortb ; they are the cause of all our woes, aud I never will fraternize with them, not even when I meet them in the world to which spirits take their flight." This is wrong; unchristian—I will not say oowardly in all, for many loaded down with human frailties have not given this subject such investigation as it demands, such as they are capable of giving it. Do not understand mo to say I would cover up with the mantle of charity the sins of all the North men. No, broad as is that mantle, it would no more cover up their crimes than a lady’s vail would cover np the State of Alabama. No, there are wretches, in the shape of men, who come among us to fatten off onr min; to stir np strife and breed discord; to keep alive the coals of passion, over which the ashes of forgetfulness would soon gather, and to bind and rivet upon us a political des potism, in whioh they have everything to gain, we, everything to lose. No, would to God we eon Id hurl back such men with lightning velocity to the land of wooden nutmegs and Beecher baseness—back to their original obscurity—back to their for mer card tables, tbeir groggeries, and their prison cells. But there are men at the North who mourn over our calamities, who sympa thize with us in onr fallen condition, and now that tho war is over and the princi ples for whioh they fought established, are ready to drop the kindly tear of sym pathy, to bury the post, and be brothers aga n in the great Union. They are will ing to admit that, though both the North and the South were justifiable in fighting for principles in which they firmly believ ed; there has been error* on both sides, and that the only way left to secure the future greatness and usefulness of the United States is for all good men, irre spective of political proclivities, to unite in the effort to put down crime, prevent corruption, make good laws and see them executod, and to select for their public officers the best and purest men of the times. A few good men from the North have already come among us—most of them looking mainly to their own interest; but good men and useful to us for “a'o’that" —and have brought their means to bnild up our manufactories, improve our rail roads and rivers, to cultivate onr soil that would otherwise lie idle, aud to engage in legitimate trade. A very few, their great hearts full of kindly feelings towards us, have brought their means, their talent and their good intentions to assist ns in rising from our ashes and again taking our place with the prondest and happiest nations of earth. Shall we treat sueh men with scorn ? Is it the part of wisdom, in onr present con dition, to reject such assistance? Does it seem manly in us to sneer at them and, like spiteful savageo, hale the entire peo ple because we could not oooquer them ? It is great folly in tu to read the writings, hear the apeeohes and listen to tbe con versation of these men of telent, admit that everything they aaj is the truth, and most of it for our good and then say: “He’s a Yankee, ana no doubt, all right; but I acknowledge my prejudice to be.so great that I ooiild scarcely couseut to be influenced by him, even if he were to se cure to uie the greatest possible good;" aud yet such remarks are constantly made, and that, too, by some of our good men. We really need men of talent from somewheres to come and help us; not because we have no such here—the world has done homage to Southern genius, and will do it again—but because we are par alyzed. It has been the history of all times, that after disastrous wars, tho statesmen have seemed to lose their abil ity for a time; and this is natural; for the plans they have been maturing and to which they have bent all the powers of their mind haviug failed, tho honest statesman is thrown upon his oars and his confidence in himself, for the time, is gone. Espe- oially do we need honest statesman now, let them come from where they may ; be Dtty Northern or Southern, we need them. There are elements in tbe United States that only such can control: the negro is an elephant, and we need a cage in which to put him; immigration is a subject that demands earnest attention; education is of vital importance; extension of terri tory is worthy of carefnl consideration, and above nil, it is essentially necessary to make and to keep our ballot-boxes en tirely uudefiled. Honest, able statesmen can, by united effort, control all these ; let us help them all we can. There is a class of good men at the South who are a great stumbling block iu the way of our advancement. Many of theso are men of experience—their heads are white with the frost of old age—they, too, are paralyzed and the blood is almost stagnant in tbeir veins. They will not act themselvos, aud are strenuous in op posing everything that others may do. They even admit the impossibility of their ever again being useful, and openly avow their prejudices against the present gov ernment, and against everything that may emanate from it in the future, whether it be good or bad. They growl at things as they are, they grumble at things as they may be, nnd thus growling and grumbling they are but helping to keep us down, instead of arising iu their might and throwing off the shackles that are eating into our very flesh. Arise, ye men of experience; shake off the leth argy and prejudices that hold you, and come in your might to the rescue of your children’s country! There in auother class of good men, who are political drags to the Southern man’s party. Many of these, day after day for four years, faced the fiery storm aud en dured the pitiless cold or heat. Dishetrt ened with defeat, they felt as though they had no country ; and*it mattered little to them what became of the land thnt gave tboni birth. They were so completely whipped, that an idea of future govern ment for the South, in which they would be interested, never entered their mind ; and now they withhold their vote—fail to exercise the dearest right that freemen have—fail to perform tbe plainest duty that comes before a lover of human lib erty. Know ye not, ye who are guilty, thnt for this thing your brethren will bring you into judgment? Yea, I charge to day that for every two votes thhs with held, you east one rote for the Radical party. Is it right that yon should be a useless spoke in the wheel ? Are you wil ling to be a drone in the great, busy hive? Then awake from yotir drowsiness, yo who are sleeping! Como out from among them, and be ye sfparate! Vote no longer a Radical ticket; your own party needs you; your bankrupt State needs you. Then come, bury the past and bo a man ; help us to bring order out of chaos ; and out of anarchy and misrule let us, at least, have a good State government. That Alabama w capable of re-estab lishing a good Stato government scarcely admits of a doubt, aud that the time has fully come when she needs it, her depre ciated bonds, empty treasury and out standing indebtedness testify; but how is it to be accomplished ? We have tried inactivity, passiveness, submission. Wo have tried policy and sacrifice; accepted Greeley us a candidate and voted for nuu, and no people of ancient or modern tiuios ever placed on the altar of patriotism so great, so noble, so sublime a sacrifice; we have tried stuffed ballot boxes and politi cal tricks, and all these have but served to sink us deeper and deeper in degrada tion and poverty. What shall we try next ? Honest, faithful work for the good of the people. Let us lenrn our duty and do it. Let us rise superior to prejudices and political frailties aud with unfaltering resolution battle for the right. Let onr great men quit their wrangling with each other about past issues, recover from their paralysis, and beml their powerful minds to the task of retrieving onr fallen for tunes ; and above all, let us have faith in God, confidence in ourselves and charity for all men. I look up the vista of coming years, and see the time when the dove of Pence shall sprend her wings o’er all our land, and the spirit of brotherly love shall dwell in the hearts of all our people. Onr past differences will be forgotten ; there will be no longer a bone of contention, and the United States will bo a grand whole, instead of two broken parts, and the fu ture historian will not pen a brighter or a purer page than that which marks this era. COBSHATTA TROUBLES. Fall Particular*. Shreveport, Sept. 1.— M»J. A. F. 8te- ibeus, of De Soto parish, who arrived icre to-day, furnishes tho following ac count of tho Conshatta troubles, which is no doubt substantially correct: It seems that in Red liiver parish, where the negroos are largoly in excess of tho whitos, much apprehension aud alarm has been felt by the latter oo aeeonnt of a threatened outbreak of the negroes, in stigated, us was generally believed, by Edgarton, Dewees, Twit obeli, Howell, Wells, Holland, aud others. The lives of several responsible residents of the par ish had been threatened by the negroes, and a few days ago Wm. Williams, a re spectable citizen of the third ward of Red River parish, woe threatened with assas sination by two notorious and dosperate negroes near Brownville, in the lower edge of the parish, he having been fired at with a shot gnn. Lost Thursday night a small party of white men went to the cabins of these ne groes, with a view of arresting and lodg ing them in jail, when they were fired upon from the cabin and one of the party instantly killed. Tbe uegroes then at tempted to run to tbe woods, where they wero both shot and killed by the party at tempting to make the arrest. On tho next day (Friday) a body of be tween 300 and 400 armed negroes assem bled near Brownville, swearing vengeance against the whole white race, and declar ing that they would not leave a white man, woman or child alive in the parish. This created great apprehension and the ex citement at CouRhatta and throughout the surrounding country, and Friday night the roAds leading into the town were pick eted. Two young men. Dickson and Pickens, on one of the posts, halted a negro who was earning into town wiih a sack of buckshot, but he paid no attention to their command to halt and ran off into the darkness, being first fired at by oue of them without effect. However, they im mediately went to town to report what had occurred, and were retnrning to their post, when they were acoosted in the street by Twitohell and two notorious uo- gro desperadoes, all of them being armed. They had a few minutes' conversation, but not of a violent nature, and the white men had turned to proceed to their poet, wheu they were twice fired upon by the other party from the rear, without warn ing. Dickson was dangerously wounded, aud now lies iu a critical condition. Mr. Pickens escaped unhurt. The firing party then ran off, two of them escaping altogether, and Twitohell for the time being. That night And the next morning Ed garton,. Twitohell, Dewees, Howell, Hol land and Willis, all white, besides a num ber of negroes were arrested and put uuder guard. All of the party who held office then voluntarily wrote ont and ten dered their resignations, and they, with others, voluntarily proposed that if a guard was furnished them to Shreveport they wonld leave the State and return no more. This was at once assented to, and the prisoners requested* John Carr, a reli able and trustworthy citizen, to take charge of tbe gaard for their protection. SundHy morning at 10 o’olock Carr, with a guard of about sixteen men, start ed with the above-named prisoners except tbe negroes, who were released. After wards a party of between forty aud fifty men, supposed to be Texans, who had come into Coushatta, started in pursuit, with the avowed purpose nf lynching tbe prisoners. Later in the day Carr was ap prised of this fact, and put his horses and those of the prisoners at the top of their speed to avoid being overtaken. While nearing Hutchinson plantation, on Red river, some thirty mile* below Shreveport, where they intended to cross the river and destroy the boat in order to prevent fnrther pursuit, they were over taken by the pursuing party. The guard was overpowered and the prisoners token away from them, and Edgarton, Twitch- ell nnd Dewees shot on the spot. The other three, Howell, Holland and Willis, were carried back a short distance, to near Ward’s store, and there shot. The citizens in the neighborhood as sembled yesterday morning and buried tbe bodies of tho dead, the first in the graveyard near Hutchinson plantation, and the others near the spot where they fell. THE HOSTILE HAT AO EM. FIGHTING GENERAL DAVIDSON WITH EIRE— WHITE MEN MURDERED. New Y ouk, August 30.—A special ftorn Wieliita Ag-ncy says fighting wiih the Kiowas aud Noconies, which began three weeks ugo, was continued in a desultory manner uutil the morning of the 25th. The Indians, in bands ranging from fifty to five hundred in number, made a series of dashes on Gen. Davidson’s outposts and set fire to the prarie grass to destroy tbe buildings of the agency, but all their attempts wero defeated and the Indians finally fled westward, carrying off their killed and wounded. The firo, which sometimes was as high as the treetops, was subdued after great effort by the troops and tbe buildings saved. Gen. Davidson has induced the friendly Caddoes, Wichitas, Comancbes, Keches, Tawacomies and other tribes to return to their reservations. Two additional com panies orrived at Wichita on the 25th, and a vigorous aud sleepless policy against hostile Indians will be inaugurated. The latter are supposed to huve fled toward Rainy Mountain Creek. Tbe troops lost only four privates wounded. The Kiowas and Nacouies had murdered several white men on the prarie, and the bodies of four have been brought in camp riddled with arrows and horribly mutilated. riourlag Mills Baraad.

National Cotton Exchange Keport. New Orleans, September 1.—The fol lowing is condensed from the National Cotton Exchange crop report for August: In Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansaa and Tennessee, crops are generally suffering from drouth. The prospect is less fa vorable than same time last year, and though a month ngo crops were generally later, picking has well commenced, and qnito as early as last year, drouth caus ing premature opening. in Alabama ami Virginia it is about as good as same time last year. In Georgia and Florida orops are injured by drouth, condition being now less favorable than last year. Iu Missouri prospects are somewhat un favorable. Picking will commence ten or fifteen dAys earlier than lost year. In Kansas the condition is better than last year. In the Indian Territory the plant is suf fering from drougtk, and picking will commence ten or fifteeu days earlier than last year. New York Cotton Exchange. New York, Sept. 2,—Tho Special Com mittee of the Cotton Exchange resumed its session this morning. A standard was adopted yesterday in futures.

They hod thirty majority in tbo euiiro oity. In several wards there was a com bination by the Democrats and Independ ents to defeat the oity ring. EYEN VERMONT “REFRACTORY.” RADICALISM JOSTLED—POLAND, PRESS MUZ- ZLEB, DEFEATED. Washinotom, September 2.—A dispatch from Vermont uses tbe word “refractory.” It is almost certain thnt Poland, the press muzzier, is defeated of a majority, and his opponent will probably beat him on plarality. The Governor's vote, as far asbeard from, stands—Republican 14,000, Demoorat 5,000. Burlington elects a Democrat to the Legislature for the first time sinoe ever so long ago. His name is Smooley, and his majority is 89. Sev eral other towns have elected Democrats to the Legislature by “refraution." CALIFORNIA’** COINAGE. GOLD AND SILVER MONEY RY MILLIONS.

W. 8. Fiekling was nominated by tbe Democrats tod*y # on the fourth ballot, as a candidate to represent this county in the House of Representatives. The Mexican Commission. More Time Mny be Needed. Washington, September 2.—Fears are being expressed that the United States and Mexican Commission will not be able to dose its business dnring the next five months—this time remaining of (he limi tation—and as in such an event all which has already been transacted would have no binding force on either goverptnent, it will be of interest to claimants to learn thAt several hundred cases remain to be adjudicated, besides those in the hands of the umpire, and tbe United States and Mexican Commis sioners respectively, all of whom aro absent from Washington—tbe first named being in Europe. The Convention for the settlement of claims concluded in July, 1868, has its time exteq^ed, and it is thought that in oase of a probability that the entire bnsinnss cannot be closed by tbe end of January uext, the time will be further extended. There has not yet ever been suoh a representation on the part of the United States Commissi oners to the Secretary of State as to induce tbo latter to propose to Mexico auother sup plemental convention for that purpose.
