FRUITS OF KADICALIS.H.
In utter disregard of the ] rotcwtatioiis of the
respectable citizens of the 'ouch, the (.nda-a-.
ries of the . Radical party dam ’ pci-i.-ted in
their murderous purpose of 'eseitii g the i
rant freedmen to deeds of violence against the
white residents of the conn try until they have
succeeded iu leading fin-ir ini;..ui 1 <1 dupes
to the perpetration -of tint must LorriUc.pjit*
rages in various sections. These individual
outrages we have not thought it prpdont io
publish ; but the wholesale murder attempted
in Mitchell county .by an organized baud of
negroes under the le. 1 of white Radicals, is
to audacious to bo regarded ; c '.mine.: crime.
The reckless barbarism . id mplqtod by the.' ■
leaders, of turning c.n infuriated hand of arm
ed negroes to ravage and destroy an iiu.l: -n
--sive community, would seem incredible, but
for the fact that it is known to have Wu done:
with the direct design of influencing the pop
ular vote in the North in the approaching
election. The Radical party is the mytholog
ical vampire. It cannot live without blood.
Peace is fts dissolution. The inexorable law
of its existence is progressive crime. This i,-

Particulars of the Fiuht At Camilla.
AlbamT, Ga., Sept. 21, lSfiß.
A. J). Kunnally, of Senate, C. C. Duncan, of
House, Comm itice:
Qculleincn : Please find below the sworn
statements of the host citizens of Mitchell
county, and our report:
Georgia, Mitchell Coi ntv.
Personally appeared before the undersigned:
Muwford J. Poore, Sheriff of said count-.'. Jo
siah 15. Butler. Robert Cockran, sr., If. C.
Dasher, Ordinary of said county, W. A. Byrd,
WadeC. Cox, 15. P. Brimberry, E. 11, Shack
leford, who made the following statement un
deroath: On Saturday the 1 Oth instant.it
was made known to the citizens of Camilla,
that John Murphy, of Albany, Ga.,- ha ! issued
his circular ands( r tty cir.-ulatej the same
among the colored men of this county, order
ing them to bring their arms with them to
the political meeting advr b ■! for that' day
at this place. The information was corrobora
ted Ly statement; made by Robert Cochran, sr,,
Thomas Jones, arid others, who came Lorn the
road in the direction of Albany, stating that
armed negroes were as -enibling in large num
bers, at China Grove Church, waiting for the
delegation from Albany, -headed hy raid Mur
phy, and Pierce the candid-: re for Congress,
who were to he the speakers for the occasion.
At the request of the citizens M. J. l’oorc,
Sheriff, with a Committee of six otlv-r citizens ,
went out to meet said proco- ?on and to pro
test against armed negroes bring marched in
procession in our town,.and to state .to them
distinctly that if they would put down their
arms no objection would Le made to their en
tering the town and .holding their political
meeting. The Sheriff. delivered tills me- age
to Murphy and Pierce, the leader- of the pro
cession, and they replied that they had noth
ing to do with tho.--- armed men, . le guns be
longed to them and they were in the habit of
carrying them wherever they went. The
Sheriff repli and that us a peace officer it was
his duty, under the law. to forbid the assem
blage of armed men at polßionl meetings, and
assured them that if they entered the town
with their rousie and banners. Followed by
armed men, as they then were, there
would be a breach of the peacey and he would
not be responsible for the -cofreequences.
Shortly afterwards the culumft moved in
town in regular order, beaded by Pierce, the
candidate for Congress, and one Putney, white,
in a buggy, armed with a double-barrel shot
gun, a Spencer rifle, and two pistols, with a
quantity of ammunition, as was afterwards
ascertained ; next, a four-horse wagon con
taining a band aud a number of armed negroes;
next followed a column of negro men on fool,
between three and four hundred,, attended by
about twenty mounted outriders, at least one-’
half, if not two-thirds, wero armed with guns
and the most of them with pistols, the music
playing and the crowd noisy and .threatening
iu their conduct. Murphy, aud one Philip
Joiner, negro, in a buggy in the rear. As the
head of the column approached the Square,-
one of our citizens, Jafiids Johns, ivhw was
intoxicated approached within a few Feet ol'j
the coin am . nd ordered the music to stop, j
which was n>i ’..**••• 1 J ■ i'a.rtn moved t-n.'j
I wfc t,: .-ut tweityjsii pa from him, his gim
was firrd intentionally or unintentionally is not
known, but it was pointed in n different direc.
tion, and the contents struck the ground about
twelve feet from lhm. The column fired avi.l
--h-y, some of the shots at Johns, west of them
j in the direction of Maple's store, thirty or for
, ty slop. ( from tj|V„ Trunin, u Dibich .place thc.e
was a number of our citizen all unarmed,
wounding six of our citizen.-. Immediately,
about twenty of our citizens sprang to their
arm- and liyi-1 into the column, Ly which two
negro re were killed and a number unknown
wounded. The negroes immediately broke to
j a thick elui.ter.uf Limber, one hundred yards
North of the Court lloase. At lhis point there
was an attempt made hy Pierce to rally hi 4
routed forces. Our citizens immediately, to
about thirty, part of them mounted, made a
charge and completely routed the whole force,
Pierce flying through the vyoqda and. hold.',
Murphy and Phil., Joiner escaping in a buggy
up the toad towards Albany. Seven negroes
v .re killed, till of whom were : Mutually bu
riud by a committee yppoiniod for that pur.
.pose. I’rpm the, Le.--t information wo have
been able to.procure, .between thirty and forty
wore vrvupdeu, all,of whom, have been prop
erly ctir-’d for. It is a source of deep regret
that the calamitous consequences of this affair
fell exclusively upon the pour deluded negroes,
led on by the wicked white men, Murphy,
Pierce aval Putney, who made their os
caj.p in the hour.of danger, w ith hut little in-,
jury to themselves. -Thjjj sad result is to bo
attributed more to ths sharpness and shrewd
mass of these gallant leaders in effecting their
.cscapo than to tho want of intention on the
part,yf our people, M e hereby disavow any
purpose of, intent on the. part of ..ourselves or
our citizens to violate the law or the peace of
the ,State in what was dorie. YYp were will
ing, and so expressed ourselves to these lea
ders, for them to hold their political .meeting*
at the. court house, in oitr town, if the-negroes
were,disarmed, but we did think, and still
think that it was our duty to obey flic orders
of the Sheriff as a civil officer of this .State, in
breaking up this unlawful assemblage. Wo
felt that as their numbers vastly exceeded that
of our citizens present, that if this meeting,
had taken place the lives of our wives and
.children would Le at the mercy of an infuria
ted mob.. While the consequences arc to bo
regretted, and we do not boast of wluit was
done by our people, we feel that they Lave but
discharged a painful duty imposed upon them:
by wicked and corrupt white men now en
gaged in leading astray into itcls of lawlessness
the colored j oopie of put co»,.,ry. Wo ajq .;ul‘
to the law-making powers of Georgia and the
lawful authorities of the United States Goveru
mont tq cheek the progress ,of these strolling!
criminals that are prowiing about the homes
and disturbing the peace and quiet of our war
stricken people.
This statement is substantiated bv the oaths;
ol the Sheriff and seven other prominent citi
zens of Mitchell county whose perfect reli
ability is certified to by D. A. Yason and
T. 11. Johnson, who were appointed by How
ard the Bureau agent to ascertain ilic facts.
The Legislature received a message from
Gov. Bullock, endeavoring to fix the responsi
bility of this outrage on the Democratic party
and tho white people $ but on investigation
they found that tho Radicals and negroes had
violated the laws aud even Bullock's own pro
clamation, while the white people engaged,
were regularly summoned by the Sheriff to
sustain him in the discharge of hjs duty. So
that instead o; Operating against the Demo
ei-atic party as his Excellency labors to make
this terrible tragedy, it shows clearly that it
was deliberately - perpetrated by the Radicals
themselves against the earnest protestations of
the people. 0 Bullock! return to your Ex
press office and cease to present the illustra
tion of the proverb. “A fool in high station,"

TANARUS(; promote her husband's interest, Mrs.
Benjamin Franklin attended shop w here sho
bought rags, sewed pamphlets, folded news
papers and sold the few articles in which he
dealt, such as inks, papers, lampblack, blanks
and other stationery. At the same time she
was an excellent, housekeeper, and besides
being economical herself, taught her careless,
disorderly husband to be eeqnojnieal also.—
Sometimes 'Franklin was clothed from head to
foot in garments which his wife* had both
woven and made, bird for a long time she
(performed all the work of a servant. Never
theless, -ho knew bow to be liberal at proper
times. Franklin tells us that lor some years
after Lis marriage his breakfast was bread and
unlit; they cattout of a two penny earthen
vessel, with‘a pewter spoon, but one morning,
on going down to breakfast, lie found upon
the table a beautiful china bowl, from which
his bread and milk was steaming, with a sil
ver snooty'by his side, which had cost a sum
equal) iii our currency, to ten dollars. YYhCn
he cxpre-sed his astonishment at this unwon
ted splendor, Mrs. Franklin only- observed
kbatshe tliQught her husband deserved a silver
spoon and a china bowl as much as any "of his
neighbors, Franklin prospered in his busi
ttess until he became the most famous editor
arid the most flourishing printer in America,
which,gave him the pleaauso of relieving his
wife from the cares of business, an 1 enabled
him to provide for her a spacious and well
furnished abode. She adorned a high station
as well as she bore a lowly one, aud she presi
ded at her husband’s liberal table as grace

The Coming Day-—Democrats to the
Itescne.
Y’e nr nearing November with all its
1 mighty i's-ujes and dread responsibilities—No
vember in which the future of the Republic
will he determined for weal or woe, in which
the fate of freedom on this Continent will, in
all probability, bo decided in toccata scccuio
: nun.
No crisis in our history ever equalled in
! magnitude that w hich is approaching.
No duty so momentous ever developed upon
an American citizen as that embraced in the
seemingly simple act oP*ca«ting his ballot
I next November.
| Indeed, it would be impossible to over c.-ti
j mate the magnitude of the crisis or tho im
j portnneo of the duty.
I In is the turning point in our history. It
will decide w hether wo will take a frc.-h start
on the path of progress, or go headlong into
that hell -of nations from which there is no
redemption—anarchy.
November brings the responsibility homo to
each of us—tve cannot shirk it if. we tried—we
cannot shift it if wo would. Wo must meet it
like men, and say by our acts whether wo en
dorse the fiendish policy of tho Radicals or
not.
Yes, next November will proclaim to the
-world that, broods of misoreaiJs, spewed up
from tho hcthcrpost pit of hell, ate to'drulo
this country with a rod of scorpions, or send
the glad tidings to the ends of the earth that
tho land of - Washington is redeemed—free
from the centre to the circumference, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. Deep answering unto
deep will thunder “free,” and from hill to
hill “the live thunder” of the popular voice
will echo “ frog,” or the sun of freedom will
set in a sea of Wood.
Which shall it he, ye men who wield tho
weapon that tyrants dread worse than bayonets
or bullets ?
It is for you to say. Clubs may resolve
aud re-re-olve ; journalists may urge and ar
gue parties may arm, and mobs may drill, but
you have tho decision in your hands—with
you the matter rests.
Freedom's latest hope, her last reserve, her
Coups de ballot —what say you ?
Shall your glorious weapon of offense and
defense be drawn in the cause of Liberty and
Law ?
Shall it be used (o scourge the money chan
gers out of the Temple of the Constitution ?
To strike the fetters off your Southern
brethren, and raise the crushing load of taxa
tion from the shoulders of Northern working
men ?
Never was such a hoble opportunity accor
ded to man as November offers to the voters -
of the Republic.
Bogus constitutions, military despotisms,
congressional usurpations, judicial abomina
tions, test oaths, Frcedtneii'a Bureaus, penal
legislation, bastiles and bayonets, negro vo
ters and mob violence, tyrants and taxes, all,
all will go down before your steady storm of
ballots.
All that is necessary to success is to rule in
the vote : poll the last man aud work to the
last moment, never losing sight of th-- “fact
that the citizen who Casts his vote on the right
side on election dnv does more for hls Tori n try
than the soldier who yields up his life on the
field of battle.
What man with a heart in his body can vote
the Radical ticket next November ?
The man who, seeing his neighbor at!a-bed
by murderer*, would take sides with them—
The man who, seeing his friend waylaid hy
thieves, would turn his Rack on him—
The-man who, seeing incendiaries setting
fire to his brother's house, would supply them
with combustibles.
These men would vote the Radical ticket
and these only, with the addition of a few
numbskulls who could not understand, and a
few fanatics who would not listen to rc-a.-on.
These will vote the Radical ticket in Novctn
. her, and that will be their last public act as a
(party, for they will be overwhelmed by the
; Deqjioeratic cohorts even as the Alpine traveler
'.is overwhelm- 1 by the avalanche.
-
The Rest that can be Said.
The Philadelphia Aye, speaking of the re
sult in Maine, says :
Tho same proportion of change in the other
States -would not leave Grant ton States in the
Union. But it is not in the New England
States that we expect tho greatest changes.—
It is fair to calculate that the rest of the States
will exceed the emphatic change in Maine at
lea.; t fifty per cent.
The effort of the Radical press to compare
the result with the vote of 1867 is a transpa
rent attempt to deceive their readers. The
liquor laic was the great issue both in Maine
and Massachusetts. In the latter State the
Radicals were defeated ; in Maine their ma
jority of T s, .‘) was reduced 10,000. How-illy,
then, is the attempt to impose upon the public
by measuring the great result of 1808 accor
ding to the vote on a local issue. If their
victory in Maine is repeated all over the Union,
we again say, not ten States will be leit to
them.
Pass Rocnd tue Horse Thief.—On the 28th
of August, a man giving his name as X. L.
Hampton, of -Memphis, Tennessee, obtained
from the livery stable of J. A. Cloves, of this
city a horse .and bugtrv, saying lie was a trav
eling agent, and would be absent for four or
five days. Not returning in ten days, Mr.
Cleaves pursued him, aud found that lie had
sold the team at 'i aiUdega, Ala., at auction,
ami had taken the train for Selma, 011 August
31st. There is no doubt but that he is an un
mitigated ra«cal. He is about 25 years old. 5
feet 9 or 10 inches high—square shoulders,
round features, with blaek whiskers arid mus

probably travels under an a.-.-umed name.
The press will please pass him around.

Young Nlcn.
| Young men of Ain erica !
j You are now entering upon the duties of
life -are bending your energies to solve the
( problem before ire nil, and are about voting
for or against your interests.
You live by labor. * You have sweethearts
to tnuyi'y —wives to make humus for— children
1 to care for, educate and touch the duties of life
j t— parents to . love, support, make happy and
lie away with their fathers ns you must in
lime be laid away with yours.
Y> bat are von here for? AVliat do you labor
for? Os what tree is it to toil dnv after day ?
V.'hv do vou arise early, work late, save mon
'cy and strive to property, and to
■ add to the prosperity of our country ? Is it
| to benefit yourselves and those you love, or to
j beautify the homes of others who toil not ?
; You may be a Republican. You may be a
; Democrat. You may be a Christian, or an
| infidel—foreign or native born. Wo care not
furthest); but you area young man and to
you we talk.
The Republican party has created a gigan- |
tic aristocracy based ou your labor—ou bonds i
given and made exempt from taxation. These j
bonds are simply your notes! You nnret pay
them. 'They must be paid from your earn
ings. To-day—to-inovrow~ next week—next
month—next year—for years and years to
come you, young men, all the whilo growing
older, must work to redeem these notes which
are your chains binding you to toil—mort
gages on your labor!
Vi hen the war began these notes did not
exist. Under the Laws of America they can
not legally exist as created, for they bring
wealth to those who hold them and are not
taxed. The Republicans legislated the power
to create such notes, then created tho notes
and called them bonds sold them for half their
face, declared them exempt from taxation, de
clared that tho.se who held them shall be ex
empt from taxation, declared that j'ou, young
men, w orkingmen of America, must pnv inter
est on those notes in gold, and iu time pay
the principal.
li you have a little farm, or a team, or trade*
or a piece of property worth one thousand
dollars, on it you pay taxes. This is right.
If a rich man has a million dollars invested
in bonds, your notes, which he says you must
pay. hfi pays no taxes. lie looks his bonds
in a safe, rides at liis pleasure, and you pay
the taxes, pay him interest in gold, pay the
principal, work hard and live poor, he does
nothing and grows richer, and in time dies
and leaves his children the very dollars you
earned, which should, have benefited you and
made your children at leAst the equals of his
children.
Your labor under Republican laws enrich
the aristocrat who produces nothing. He does
no work--the law compels you to support him.
The carpets on his floors, the books in his
library, the pictures on his walls, the horses
he drives, the carriage ho rides in, the watch
he sports, the diamonds on tho neck of his
wife, the silk on her body, the Dees next her
flesh, tire beautiful dresses on his children,
you young men who Work are paying for!
They do net pay for these articles! Your
wife may wear a chemisette of coarse linen or
Cotton ; bis wife w ears laces.
Your children go with bare feet, his with
warm stockings and pretty boots. You cat
from, a pine board, he from mahogany. You
have one course, lie a half dozen. You pay
for these luxuries, he does not!
- If you are content with this inequality of
taxation; if you arc willing to be robbed to
support the rich; if you arc willing to work,
not to beautify your own homes, but the homes
of the bondholders, then you are indued unlit
to he husbands, fathers, or citizens of America.
YYmr (luty is to those you love, and if you
love tho aristocrat, the wife and children of
the Republican-made aristocrat, whose wealth
is the pocket full of notes somebody signed for
you to pay ; if you love tiie ones who sneer at
you. who look upon you as poor, ignorant
workingmen ; ifyou love those who boast of
holdingyou as slaves, more than you love your
own wifi-, children, homes, or happiness, then
you deserve lo be slaves forever.
If you do not care to enjoy the fruits of your
own toil, vote the Republican ticket—strength
en the claims of the bondholders—sink labor
into the mire and elevate the carriage of the
bondholders, and add to your taxes.
Young man—working man, this concerns
you aud yours more than it docs us—you may
vote as you please. If you wish to support
an aristocracy —if You prefer to, we will sell
our property, invest in bonds, and you can
support us also ! — N. II Democrat.

The State Guard, a Radical paper published
at Harrisburg, Pa., and edited by a brother
of John Forney, Speaking of the difficulties of
tho campaign, declares that: “Taken alto
gether, we, as a party, have the largest and
dirtiest load to carry that was ever strapped
on the back of any political organization.”
The Charleston Courier makes this curious
statement:
From gentlemen of Edisto Island and Christ
Cimreli we learn of a most singular fact in
relation to the rice birds. These birds, which
are so destructive to the rice crops, have
appeared in large numbers on the const this
season. YY'e learn from the gentlemen above
alluded to, that they iu several cases deserted
the rice field- and have commenced a vigor
ous attack on the caterpillar in the cotton
fiehre. Os course this attack is at too late a
date to effect a preservation of the crop, but it
is the first instance of the kind vre have ever
known.
YYhen a man wants money or assistance,
the world, as a rule, is very obliging and in
dulgent. and—let him want it.
Argument nt u Discount.
1 It is of little use to attempt argument with a
, Radical partisan. No matter what you mav
! say in opposition to their principles—pile
up truth on top oftruth, until it readies niottn
| tain high, and nt each clinching argument,
| you are answered, ‘that is Copperhead talk.'
Tell them their policy is ruinous to the best
interests of the country, and they will swear
it is a ‘rebel lie.’
Tell them they are running us in debt at
suclrrailroad speed, and they reply, “that's
another rebel lie.'
T. 11 them that tho Subjection of the white
race South, to that of the ignorant kinkyhead
ed negro, tends to sap the very foundation of a
Government founded ou intelligence, and they
reply, ‘that is a Copperhead lie,’
Toll them that it is unjust, impolitic and tins
wise for ilie North to rep-.: negro suffrage and
impose it on tho South, and you are met with
the expression, ‘wo vote as we fought’ when
the men who use it never smelt gun-powder.
Tell them a standing army not only oppresses
the pe pie, but is rapidly changing out form of
government, and they exc’aiin, ‘loyalty dem
ands it.’
Tell them you think the Negro Bureaus
down South but augment our national blessings
[debt,] and we are in favor of discontinuing it
and the lazy, pilfering office-holders under it,
and they rase the cry, ‘another rebellion immi
nent ! Union men, beware!’
Toll them you are in fivor of Seymour and
Blair, because the times, the state of the coun
try, the best interest of ti e Government and
the people, demand we-should have tried and
true statesmen as commanders of the ship of
State, to avoid the breakers ahead, and they
yelp—‘all the rebels (Joe Brown and a few
excepted) are in favor of them, too,’
Toll them your arejn favor of returning to
tho plain beaten paths of the Constitution they
say ‘that’s the way the rebels talked in ISfil,
Tell them Gen. Grant is not, a statesman,
and they reply, 7te crashed the rebellion.
Ask Grant what bethinks of any, or all these
propositions, and-what will be bis course in re
gard]tothem if unfortuately elected —lie replies,
‘I bat e no policy.’
Ask him if he will try and lighten the bur
dens of taxation ?—I have no p diey. ’ If his
course with foreign powers is likely to be the
same as his predecessors on given questions?
I have no policy. What are your views in re
gard to finance?—‘l have no policy.’ And
thus we drift to sen. A man with ho policy is
like n man with no principles, a perfect weath
ercock— a regular Mica tv Lor subject to the
whims and caprices of every body.
Radicals, bow do you like the stock in trade
of your arguments ?

arguments ?—Missouri Vindicator.

Terribi,k IvEsra kotiox. — (funeral Kilpatrick
reports a singular and horrible circumstance
which took place a> Arica, on the South side
of that city, during the recent fearful earth
quake. As the earth opened and yawned,
there came up Jhe hundred mummies , who
stood in long lines facing the sea, every one
of the skeletons in perfect preservation, the
hands doubled up and supporting the chin,
the knees drawn up, and tho feet supporting the
Ueshlcss body ! This must have been one of
the most frightful sights possible, and quite
beyond description. Tho spot where those
mummies now stand was once an old cemetery
some ninety years ago, it is said, and these
