Southern Histories of the War.
Messrs. Blackburn A Bro. of this city
■rc the agents for the sale of “ T he .South
ern History of the Mar,” in two volumes,
by E. A. Pollard, editor of the Richmond
Examiner: “ The Rives and C ampaigns
of Southern Generals,” by Capt. Parker
Snow, and “The Rife of Stonewall Jack-
eon,” by a Virginian.
We have examined carefully the last
named work only, and can conscientiously
say that we were delighted with its peru
sal. We doubt not the others are equally
meritorious. Call on the agents and you
can examine the books for yourselves.
Radicals and Monarchists.
The Radicals of America and the Mon
archists of Europe are members of the
same party, and unitedly strive for the
accomplishment of the same purposes.—
Roth wings of this detestable faction seek
to give the few the exclusive right of
governing the many. In the despotisms
of the Old World Aristocrats, and in the
Republic of the United States, loyalists
(so-called) are alone deemed good, pure
and enlightened enough to participate in
the affairs of government. In some of
the kingdoms and empires of Europe not
one white man in ten lias any political
rights whatever. The same is true of
the citizens of Tennessee, Missouri and
Maryland to-day, and would have been
true of the legal voters of every Southern
•State if the Radicals could have had
all things as they desired. Whither arc
we drifting ?
The First Outbreak.
Tho riot in Memphis, an account of
which is given in another column, is but
the forerunner of the coming storm—the
conflict of the races—unless the Radicals
ceaso to poison the minds of the negroes
with false ideas of their equality, yea,
superiority to the white race. It is natu
ral and proper that the more intelligent
and civilized race should rule and govern
tho other. Even a portion of the white
males—those under twenty-one years of
age—is not permitted to participate in
the political affairs of tire nation, from
obvious reasons of policy. How much
greater, then, is the necessity for exclu
ding the blacks, who have just emerged
from centuries of slavery; who and whose
ancestors are the lowest of God’s created
intelligences. The American freedmen,
however, excited by evil counsellors, have
sought partial conflicts with those who
were once their masters, which invariably
resulted in the total discomfiture of the
blacks. These creatures, no doubt, have
been taught to believe that they arc con
tending in a just cause, which, however,
will terminate in their final ruin unless
abandoned. The Regislatures of the
Southern States have given the negroes
the benefit, equal with the whites, of all
laws for the protection of person and
property. This ample protection of their
rights would have rendered them con
tented, had not Radical emissaries instilled
into their minds a desire for the right of
suffrage. Now these pretended friends
of the black had as well understand now
as hereafter, that the Southern people have
no intention of doing more for the ne
groes than they nave already done. If
let alone they will be friends and defen
ders of the rights of their former slaves.
In the event these emissaries continue
their evil doings, and their poor dupes
arc led to strike for political equality,
those who, under other circumstances,
would have aided their advancement, will
be forced to become their enemies and
the unwilling instruments of tcachiug the
blacks some very unwholesome lessons.

The Appeal of May the second has a
short account of the outbreak, in which
its origin is thus stated :
“ The origin of the fight, as we are in
formed, was a disturbance amongst the
negro soldiers, who have just been paid
oft' and were drinking very freely, who
commenced a free fight amongst them
selves. Policeman Carroll and three
others of the force were standing on the
corner of Alain street, and walked toward
the rowdy blacks, hut without interfering
in any way. After passing the bridge on
South street, they turned to retrace their
steps, when the negroes commenced
brickbatting the officers, and not content
with this also fired two or three pistol
shots. On this the officers returned the
fire, and the advaucc was temporarily
checked.

respondence between Mayor Park and
General Stoneman, in regard to co-opera

Heavy Bank Failure in Washington.
Washington, May 6.—The failure of

estimated at about six hundred thousand
dollars.
Washington, May 6.—A negotiation

May 1, 18GG. j
General: There is an uneasiness in
the public mind, growing out of the oc
curences of to-day, which would be ma
terially calmed if there was an assurance
of military co-operation with the civil
police in suppressing all disturbances of
the public peace. I should be happy to
have it in my power to give this assur
ance at once. It would intimidate the
lawless and serve to allay the apprehen
sions of the orderly.
I therefore request that you will order
a force of at least two hundred men, com
manded by discreet officers, to be held
ready to co-operate with the constabulary
force of this city, in case of any further
continued lawlessness.
I am, General, very respectfully, your
obedient servant,
John Park, Mayor.

to inform you that the small force of reg
ular infantry stationed at this post, in all
not more than one hundred and fifty
strong, will be directed to hold themselves
in readiness to co-operate with the civil
authorities of Memphis, U iu case of furth
er continued lawlessness.”
This force is in camp in the fort, where
you can communicate with the command

need his assistance and support. I should
prefer that the troops be callcd upon only
in case of an extremc pecessity, of which
you must be the judge.
I am, very respectfully, your obedient

Maj. Gen. Commanding.
The following dispatch was sent to
Governor Brownlow from Memphis :
Memphis, May 3.—There has been
much riot and disturbance in the city.
I hope we shall be able to quell it. The
civil and military authorities are busy in
their efforts to suppress the outbreak.
The riot had its origin between the city-
police and a squad of discharged colored
soldiers.
It commenced about four o’clock* in the
afternoon on the 1st inst, in the southern
part of the city. Up to two o’clock to
day, there have been five white* and
thirty negroes killed.
j Last night there was about thirty tene-
] ments, churches, and school houses, oc-
) cupied by negroes, burned by die mob.
The violence is so gteat that at least one
the fire.
“1 saw in your Columbia newspaper
the printed order of Gen. Wade Hamp
ton, that on the approach off the Yankee
army nil the cotton should be burned, and
from what I saw myself, I have no hesi
tation in saying that he was the cause of
tlie destruction of your city.”
This same charge, made against me by
General Sherman, having been brought
before the Senate of the United States. I
am naturally most solicitous to vindicate
myself before the same tribunal. But
my State has no representative in that
body. Those who should be her consti
tutional representatives and exponents
there are debarred the right of entrance
in those halls. There are none who have
the right to speak for the South, none to
participate in the legislation which gov
erns her, none to impose the taxes she is
called upon to pay, and none to vindicate
her sons from misrepresentation, injustice
or slander.
T nrder these circumstances, I appeal to
you, in the con&dcnt hope that you' will
use every effort to see that justice is done
in this matter.
I deny, emphatically, that any cotton
was fired in Columbia by my order.
I deny that the citizens “ set fire to
thousand** of bales relied out into the
streets.”
I deny that any cotton was on fire
when the Federal troops entered the city.
I most respectfully ask of Congress to
appoint a committee, charged with the
duty of ascertaining and reporting
persons were arrested and tried by court
martial for uttering sentiments favorable
to President Jurez.

These mines, situated eight miles
Southwest from Carrollton, Georgia, have,
at the instance of Dr. Gamble, lately been
! visited by Judge C. H. Strong, of our
city, who furnishes us various memoranda
concerning them.
On a recent tisft to New Yotk, Mz,
Strong made the acquaintance of Mr. A.
R. R. Hallowell, of Nevada, a gentleman
thoroughly versed in everything that ap-
and gave him an
hundred Fenians, composed the expedi
tion. On their return they gave O’Ma-
hony a call, and forced him by presenting
pistols at his head to pay them thirty
dollars each. The account of the down
fall of O’Mahony is thus given by the
New York World.

by the District, Center Patrick DaHy, on
Sunday wfifeernoon at 2 o’clock at the Hall

meeting was strictly a private one and ho

Center, the Secretary and the chairman
of the Committee of Safety of each cirele

department and numbering about two
hundred delegates in all. The salaried

of their beloved chief, were ignominiously

Mr. II. was so much struck with the de
scription, that he came to Geurgr* with
Mr. Strong, to make a personal inspection
of the property, and has just returned af
ter a thorough examination. He was so
well pleased, that he has made an agree
ment to purchase, and will, in a very
short time, put the whole thing in mo

It is not out of place to give a few
items in relation to the vast resources of
this valuable property. It embraces
within its limits 1417£ acres, being seven
lots of 202j acres each. Gold is to be
found in every lot, and two of them pos
sess it in a high degree. An immense
ledge or vctir of ffmt quartz traverses the
whole width of these fwo lots for at least
1J miles, barring a breadth of one to two
hundred feet; throughout this entire
.length and breadth, it it is impossible to
find a pan of soil, that does not possess
gold. The ore also is reported to be very
rich, though the quartz mine has never
been operated to any extent. A feeble
effort was once made with a shackling old
mill, and if the parties v bo erected it had
possessed the raeairs and requisite energy,
they would without doubt, have met with
the most entire success.
