There fire men In rnr hind, mid they
:iro \iy no mepns few in number, vln net
content with tlienmonnlof b’ood idrumy
spilled on acountcf their continual grow
ling, and fixed determination to ride or
ruin, are now with nil their might, striv
ing to r(l;ir.(!!e tl o embers of revolution.,
They a*c dot mined that nothing like an
honorable peace will untirfy them, and
every step taken by them in regard to
reconstruction 1 rings the South lower and
lower, Regardless of an oath to support
the*constitution hi its integrity, they por-i
vert it with impunity to the basest uses, i c,
llte perpvtuat on of a .lum nine IL-me of » i
mily between the two sections Instead
of advancing the interests and promoting
the harmony of the Nation, they are de
stroying these very things, and nursing
with tender care, their very opposites. In- ■
stead of upholding the Republican fi rm
of government, their every action is an
tagonistio to its prineipl s. They roll re
volution, bloodshed and anarchy under
their tongues ns sweet morsels. They
look without the slightest emotion, upon
the thousands of graves this ruinm ns poli
ty has already filled, with both Southern
and Northern moil,and with a fiendishness;
unprecedented in the annals of history,
they still, by their actions cry for blood 1
blood ! They are giving proof nj on proof
to the world, tlmt they are not controlled!
in any of their actions by love, even for
their own section, but hatred toward the
South. Not content with seeing her laid
waste by n protracted war against superior
numbers and resources—w itli seeing her
cities and towns heaped in ruins—her peo
ple clothed in mourning, and her vast teii
tay marked from one end to the other by
the devastating inarch of hostile armies,
they must sfe her suffer more—she must
got upon tiie platffr’ui of Sumner 1 , Stevens
& Cos., and worship their ebony idols. 1
JJut let them fume ah.! lot ..nvl-b i!
over with rage—nmi the sooner tins is ac
complished the better for the count y.—
They arc damning themselves in the eyes
of the world—they arc to a great extent
misrepresenting their t< iwtinients—in
proof of tins we would cite the given tcsli
tix-uiit-ir—iiiia UegrTimg an level's oL
harmony and good given mnent ever’, when)
with their brazen-incod perfidy. The far
ther they go, the nmre disgusting will the ,
become, and the sooner will the country
be l id of them.
Let them 1 low the embers, say me until
n flame is kindled, that will utterly con
sume them—and unless a certain individ
ual is terribly ehcatod, they will one, day
find a flame, which will never consume
them and yet never eea.-e its burning.
The tutiuu Crop.
AVe have travelled pretty generally
over Terrell, Randolph, portions ol Col- j
boon, Webster and Sumter counties with-j
in the past ten days, and fr.fi n what we
can sec and bear, we are forced to the eon
elusion that, at least in this section, the
cotton crop wi'l he quite s'ort. In the
first place, with lut few cxeep inns the
stand is v ery had. Jinny are replan ing
even cow, for the second time Not a few
there aie, who are un- h'e to re].knit he
cause they cannot gel seed. And in tl e
second place the fre dim.n aio not and in
as well as they have been. True some
work well, Lut the majority are do tig
poor worki and logring and i.iri g can
not make them uo better Boiife are quit
ting their employers, and we fear many
mere will fu'low their example. The re-
pult is, the crops are overrun with grti&s !
AYc hnvo never seen crops nt this son mi J
ho “grassy.” A gentleman was in our
office n few days ago, and told us that un- j
IcSS he COlrflJ Rir-,- - Irr,r' 1 ' i■'ll

"Wo have no doubt but that tbo pros
pect is equally as Lad in oilier sectuuft
and we wuuld adv’se these' of our frcinls,
wlm i’u: ve any of tbo »>'d erop n hand, to
hold o« to it for it while Tho tendency
of dhe market is a little up now, and when
tho facts are fully known with ivferenc; to
the prospective crop, it w 1! certainly go
to a higher figure.

The Nashville Dispatch continues to re
ceive very fav’ruble news from different
parts of tho Grille in regard to the growing
crops. The Franklin Review Rays a great
deal of corn and e tton ii planted in Wil
liamson county.
The Lebanon Herald of the sth instant
says : “We v re informed, during a visit
to .Some last Wotln sday, that the wheat
crop in Smyth conn y waul 1 be cut short
one-halt; that tho prospect for corn is ex
cellent ; and that there will be no end to
the fruit.”
The 'Yineliu ter’Homo Jomnulof the
sth instant says : “it is with thankfulness
unstinted that we'can now assert a surety
for the iMicros* of tlm.fruit and grain crops
against frost, unless, indeed, there shou and
boa revolution in nature’s general laws.
Evctyihing in this section looks promising
and wo know our people need something
to cheer them w bile despotic rulers rule
the pol ti al department. Nature warms
into hl’e' ant beauty and health tho vegeta
ble wor'd, but man, by coldness and re
venge, freezes into apathy and indifference
the heart if his brother. Nature’s laws
aro beautiful and restorative ; man’s heart
is corrupt and destructive.”
The Cleveland Haulier of the sth inst.,
says the wheal, tho oat, the corn, and the
grass crops no er looked better.

the riots on the 2d inst, (Wednesday :)
An hour bes- ro dayl'ght, on Wednesday
tnornia", some two or three bun.-.red of the
negro riotcis, after they had held cutisuita-:
tion of war, went to Fort l'ii-koritig and and«
manded their arms, v hieh they had given up
when niustcnd rat of scrvieo. This reque t 1
was of ctirsa refuse-’ them by the regular.-- ;
who cccupiod the for f . They then re trad, ■
and about sunrise returned ar.d threatened
to cltr.rgo the fort if they were l.ot famished
with aims. The regulars rgaia declined,
and threaten.d to biicg cut nx pieces of sr

caused th-’in lo fail hack to the ravine near

negroes scattered all over South Memphis,

as might happen.
