The Negro Exodus to Kansas.
Nearly fourteen years ago, the war
“between the States 1 ' closed and the
peoplo of the South accepted in good
faith the consequences of their defeat.
From the day on which Genl. loe sur
rendered up to the present time, our
people, turning their backs upon the
hopes and errors of the past, have hon
estly endeavored to obey the laws of *
common country, and to become useful
and loyal citizens of the Federal G
eminent, and adapt themselves to the
new state of affairs by which they were
surrounded. There is not a State of
those which attempted to secede, that
has not changed its constitution and
laws and brought them into harmony
with the laws and requirements of tin
general government.
We had hoped that the honest sub
mission of our people, and their obe*.
dience to law, would be the inpsna of
conciliating our Northern brfltheren,
though they might never forget tbs
strife in which both parties'had enmsg.
ed. But in this expectation' we Were
it seems, doomed to be disappointed as
to a large number of them; indeed, we
fear that this class will never cease to
misrepresent, and as far as they can,
dishonor us in the eyes of the world
so long as we differ from them politic
ally.
We have been lead into this train of
thought by one of the latest moves of
some of our Republican “friends.''
This move must have been inspired by
We 1 urn from the Thnmunville
Moutheru Euterpi.se that one
night last we*k a party of negroes
visited the giave ot Mr. Simon
Hadley, Sr . in the southw»-stern
portion of Thotima county, and
dug up the remains. Mr. Hadley
died and was buried forty year*
ago, and his body has lain undis-
turb d until this time. The cause
of this outrage was a negro fortune
teller, who pretended that it had
been revealed to him that a large
amount of treasure in gold and sil
ver had been buried with Mr. Had*
ley at the time of his death. Ex
cited by the desire of securing the
supposed treasure, a parly was
fi)i mod and the grave opened by
night, ll is needless to say that
nothing of the kind was found.
The press of the8tate will hearti
ly unite with the Enterprise in
th^ hope that the paities engaged
in this sacrilegious act may be dis
covered and punished.
\u Attempt to Cheat the
lows.
At the execution of Knox Mar
tin, at Nashville, a tew days ago,
an uuiisually large numbr of doc
tors were on band, aud it was gen
erally understood that an attempt
was to be made to restore life. To
prevent any doubts as to the total
extinction of lite, the Sheriff kept
the body haogiug fifteen minutes
after the death was pronounced
certain. As soon as the last strand
was cut the medical nimi eased the
body to the ground, removed the
loop from the took, and made
pi ompt efforts to reset the dislo
cated bones, and relieve the pres
sure ou the spiual chord. The
body was put into the coffiu and
carried to a cow shed near by,
which, in spite of the rffnrta ot the
police, was shortly filled by excit
ed people, who crowded in till the
air was so hot and close that breath
ing was difficult for a live tnan
to say nothing of a dead one. Th«*y

battery attached, the electrodes be
ing applied to the base of the brnin
and the chest. When the currents
were turned on muscular contor

sion of emotion. Pain, fear, anx

ly succession over the dead fac< 4 .

been kept up five minutes, the

open, staring eyes indicated return

the body increased from 90 0 -J de

also an apparent return of volun

being spontaneously raised in the

The credulous liegros of Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Arkansas to the' num
ber ofseverat^^^sands ''placing ro-
liapee iuTflfse statements have left
Weir homes and started for Kansas.
Several hundred according to the tele
graphic dispatches have arrived in that
State in utter destitution. The people
among whom they have come are nov
making appals to the country to con
tribute to their support.
In the telegraphic dispatches they
are called “Southern refugees,” and
the idea is sought to be conveyed to
the Northern people, that they have
been corn|tellfid to By from the South
to escape from the shot-guns and bowie
knives of lawless rubles. We doub'
not that the “Northern heart will be
fired” by this skillful move of the Re
publican party. There is no remedy
for the threatened evil so far as we can
see, bnfc patience and prudence. In
this connection we regret to say, that
some Democratic Congressmen are wo-
fully deficient in this latter quality,
and by tiieir speeches in Congress are
doing ns as much harm as the negro
exodus is likely to do. When will our
public men learn that prudence is far
better than rash and senseless valor
If our well-disposed colored people
would assemble in public lueetiugs,
and pass resolutions in opposition to
this Kansas movement, and set forth
the fact that they have the same pro
tection for life abd property that the
whites have, it would to some extent
counteract the threatened evil, and we
trust it will be done at an early day.

The Hawkinsville Dispatch thus
tells of what a colored m >n did
with forty acres and a mule in
Houston county; “While so ma
ny ot the colored people are becom
ing dissatisfied and emigrating to
Kansas and Liberia we want to
tell them what Milo Sutton, one
of their race, did ou Mr. Jumes V/,
McKenzie’s place,three miles south
of Henderson, Houston county, and
near the Dooly county line, Last
year Milo made with one tunlo six
teen bales of cotton, two hundred
bushels of corn and two barrels ot
syrup. If thorp he any doubta about
this statement, we refer to Mr.
McKenzie, near Montezuma, or to
Messrs. John H. Kendrick or D.
G, McCormic, of Hawkinsville
The last bale of the cotton was re
ceived at McCofmic’s.warehouse a
few days ago, and fifteen hales had
been received previously. Milo
had the assistance of his family,
of course, in chopping and hoeing
the cotton, picking it, etc. One
good hand aud mnle can plow for
ty acres.—in fact that is the aver
age area cultivated by one hand
and a mule, but it will be seen by
reference to onr “Hambies in the
Wiregraas” that uncle Troy Johu-
son, uf Wilcox, proposes to culti
vate fifty acres with one horse.
We have a great country, and now
that the farmers have gone to
raising their own corn, and pay
ing cash for nearly all the meat
they buy, we may eoon expect to
see better times, finer stock, better
vehicles, and more schools and
greater interest manifested in the
education ot the children.’’
