Tho Governor of 8. Carolina is tender of

Our blood ruiis cold and we shudder for

arc prowling over tho country commuting

Tho Radicals of Louisiana have succeed

another stop in tho path of Radical pro

for a system of wholesale miscegenation
throughout the country. It Is evidently
so regarded by the negroes themselves,
who In thetr outrages on white women all

tho forelock. Whnt is to be the cad of all
this Radical lunacy and deviltry wo know
not. Every movement that the Radicals
miiko only satisfies us more thoroughly
that they do not intend to stop until they
establish sorial ns wellns jmlitioul equality
between the two races—In a word, until
tho whites and the negroes nro placed on
the same level in every respect; and if these
anarchists nro not hurled from power by
a general upheaval of an Indignant people,

The following, extracted from the Rich

Georgia into the Union. Though wc know

we can stand any change that may come,
for wo have already passed through great

so long as tho ground will continue to pro

laid not done for years. I feel like another
being. My appetite nnd strength have
also greatly improved by the use of Plan
