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 stripped the body and began vig-j orous rubbing of th« arms and legs, JQ CITIZENS OF BUTLER. alternately rasing and depressing the ehest to induce breathing.

After artificial respiration had been kept up five minutes, the ue back, the bauds were and returning breath and open, staring eyes indicated return ing viiality. The animal heat of the body increased from 90 0 -J de grees in ten minutes. There was also an apparent return of volun tary motion, the head anl neck being spontaneously raised in the circular to any of his white rebels. 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.’’ A till VV iTd HAMM Li tt ISKNJJ. -J-JJ CHEMICALLY PUUE.
