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,- the key to the horrible tin. ly be-, low. (From the Atlanta Constitution.) 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," The Hotter Half of a Great Mail. 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 ■lully as when he ate his breakfast of bread and milk froth a two penny bowl.

[! .o Jiy Campaign llccord.] 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 tache. and weighs about lbu pounds. He probably travels under an a.-.-umed name.

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. A man who was never heard to swear an oath, sing a aong, whievle a tune, or utter a prayer, and who was never intoxicated, and never had a law suit, lias recently died in Lincoln county, Tenn, nt the ago of 91 years. Mural— if you want to livo to be 91 years old, don’t-sing whistle, pray or get drunk! 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?
