tain of this band is named Cage I’hilpot, : races, they can get office. From the
and his followers may as well be desig
nated the Philpots. Captain Philpot is a
middle-aged man, of large bony frame,
red bushy hair and beard, and has a fierce
pratical mustache of the same color.—
He is a shrewd but mean, rouguish look
ing man, fit to command a squad of twen
ty or thirty ignorant men in the bush,
but not possessed of the big ideas and
hold execution of the great Western land
pirate. Murrell had some general intel
ligence, and when he chose could conceal
the villain under the polished manner and
bland smile of a country gentleman; or.
when occasion suited, assume a pious leer
and perform the reverential duties of a
minister. But Philpot is a Cain-marked
low-bred villain, who could never, under
any circumstances, pass for anything more
than a villain or a blockhead.
IIis followers are men of low instincts,
no education aud few claims to respect
ability. Some of them are from Chicka
saw and Calhoun counties, where they
hid out to avoid the conscript law, and
lived by pillaging on their neighbors.—
The war being over they came from their
dens in the thickets and swamps and mi
grated to fields where they were not so
well known. A number settled in DoSo-
to county, near Senatobia. They put in
little crops and appeared to make a preca
rious living by tilling the soil or working
about as day laborers.
Over two years ago they began opera
tions as horse thieves. Suspicions were
long directed to them, hut they were too
wary for a long time to be caught. They
knew their crowd and trusted nobody el.-e.
But at last they admitted one member too
many. A young man named II. M. Will
ingham, formerly of Selma, Ala., was by
sotne meaus thrown in the neighborhood,
and being short of funds he took a job of
work. Ilo'wcnt into the war at the age
of fourteen ; was first in the fourth Ala
bama regiment, and afterwards in John
Morgan’s famous command. The Phil-
pots took a fancy to him, and after wait
ing some time came out and told him
what they were doing and made him a
liberal offer to join them. He consulted
with friends, like Stewart the betrayer of
the Murrellites, and joined them last
spring. He was in close communication
with the authorities ar.d in the confidence
of the horse-thieves at the same time, and
thus matters stood until the middle of
week before last, when the community
was thrown into intense excitement by
the arrest of the following parties by the
local authorities on the charge of belong
ing to a gang of horse thieves: Cage
of the times, it is quite evident that Hous
ton couuty is to be the place where the
most unscrupulous means will be resorted
lo, and the most powerful efforts made
to ac-c mplish the wicked purposes of
Radicalism.
The black population has a most over
whelming majority over the whites in
Houston. They number some 3200 voters
while the whites number only about 1000
Through the most .untiring energy and
efforts, the Democrats succeeded at the
last election, arid hence the means here
and from abroad that are aud will be
brought to bear among us to prevent such
another r> suit in the approaching elec
tion.
The leaders of Radicalism here are in
solent, insulting and defiant and some of
them, I am sure, wish a difficulty with
the whites ; and if they persist in their
eourse, a collision will be inevitable.—
Still, we are determined to bear and for
bear until such forbearance ceases to be a
virtue, and until resistance becomes an
absolute necessity. The means that are
resorted to to excite the poor common
freedinan to acts of violence are most un
worthy and shameful. I am informed
that at the late large mass meeting of
freedmen in your city, and where they
were addressed by ticn. McKay, Judge
Gibson and Mr. Wbitely, the poor ne
groes were told by these speakers, in their
inflammatory appeals to them, that they
must vote for General Grant, that he had
fought to make them free, ail I that they
were indebted to him for their freedom,
and that the object of the Democratic par
ty was to put them into slavery, and that
they would do it if they voted for Sey
incur and Blair. Those speakers, knew
at the time, that these statements were
purely false, infamously so—and they
made them for uo other purpose but to
excite and inflame the poor deluded ne
groes. Gen. Grant never did fight avow
edly to free the negroes, and those speak
ers well knew it. lie fought for no such
purpose, as he himself avowed at the time.
He fought alone as lie said, and would
fight for nothing else but ‘ to preserve the
Union, the constitution, and the laws.’’
But if he did fight to set the negroes free
(but which lie did not,) where were those
speakers, and what were they doing at
the time. They were all in the war fight
iog against Grant, and il Grant was fight
ing to make the negroes free, they were
fighting against it, as a matter of course ;
aud now these speakers, the orators at the
great negro mass meeting at Macon, arc
wanting the negroes’ votes—against whose
freedom they fought, one to go on the
i put away their
guns and no collision took pi ice, though
they matched the streets with their drum
and fife and badges, and some of them
boasted that they had braked out tho
whites, eic., etc. Little did they km-w
of the peaceful motives that gulden them.
That day, too, a speaker from Macon was
h-we—a mulatto mail by the name oi
ed, with emphasis, that, although mu-:h
enfeebled by disease, he hoped yet to live
long enough to witness the disenthrall-
ment of Tennessee and die a free man.

The preliminary examination was had
before Justice Echols and three other
magistrates last Thursday week, and con
tinued until un early hour Sunday morn
ing. A large crowd was present aud the
most intense excitement prevailed.
It was brought out that the principal
witness, Willingham, had been suspect
ed by the clan and at a meeting held
when he was not present, two weeks be
fore, a few miles from Senatobia, half of
them declared against him and the rest
stood out for him. A night or two pre
vious to the arrest he was notified to at-
tcud one of their meetings, at a secluded
spot four miles from town. He suspicion
ed nothing, and started at dark on horse
back. A storm coming up, he stopped
at the house of one of the clan, and re
niained some time. It proved a severe
thunder storm, and while they were sit
ting at the door, a sudden flash of light
ning revealed to the startled eyes of the
gate. His friends advised him to leave,
which he did by mounting his horse at
the back door and riding rapidly away.—
He proceeded about two miles towards
Senatobia, the night dark as pitch, and
the road only visible when revealed by a
flash of lightning.

lie wanted them and sought them at the j
last election, but couid not get them, and

negroes were not such fools as to vote for
him. Who would trust such men in any
position? But the part t h« so worthies
took in the war against setting the negroes
free, they said nothing about in their Ma
con speeches.
I understand that those Macon speak
ers told the negroes that a freedinan who
would vote for Seymour and Blair would
steal. And that they heaped all sorts of
abuse upon aud made many threats against
all freedmen who would vote for them,
and against Grant. All these infamous,
unfair and dishonorable means are resort
ed to, to affect the votes of honest freed
men, and to di-ter and frighten them from
voting tho Democratic ticket. They are
told to “stick to their race,” or they will
be.spurned aud discountenanced by their
“race” and be put back into slavery if
they do not vote the Radical ticket. Ail
these false and fraudulent means are re
sorted to here, and they have resulted in
now producing a high state of exeiteruent

tear they will succeed, although our fixed
purpose is to avoid it if possible.
A few Saturdays ago the freedmen had
a political meeting in Perry ; a young
gentleman aud two young ladies, respect

Gustin. I understand he made a
inflammatory harrangiie, after the <
ot the speeches of McCay, Gibson
Whitely, tolling the fn-edme i, a.
other things, in substance, that the time
had been when the white people had
drawn blood from them, but it was com
ing when they would draw it fr- in the
white people, and if Grant was-not elected
they should have blond W title this fel
low wu3 speaking, the freedmen. it seems,
hail sentinels posted around the speaker
and the crowd he was addressing, in or
der, I suppose, to keep off i truders, or
require their approach from a certain point
only. One of our young men, quite a
youth, not being aware of such an arrange
ment, and for which there was no earthly
necessity, except to make a show of mili
tary, arrangements, was walking up to
where the crowd was aud the speaker
was speaking when he was accosted by a
negro, who rudely ordered him to stand,
to stop. The young man,- not knowing
what lie meant by it, was disposed to re
sist him, when a m ist serious difficulty
came near ensuing.
I wish our friends abroad, in counties
where there are but tew freedmen com
pared with the great number of them here,
knew the trouble, the trials and difficul
ties we have had with them here—caused,
too, by the advice aud counsel of bad
men. If they did, I am sure they' would
give no countenance to the efforts made
to make the poor, ignorant negroes the
depositories, even remotely, ol legislative
or official power. What a shame it
that McKay, Gibson and Whiteley, the
Macon orators, should,for the sake of judi
cial aud congressional honors, so wicked
ly tell the freedmen that if they vote for
Seymour and Blair they will be put into
slavery—when they well know that neith
er the defeat of Grant nor the ejection ol
Seymour will or can deprive them ol lree
dom—and thereby excite them to deeds
that will result in their ruin. If ever
the poor negroes are put back into slave
ry, they will do it themselves by follow
ing the advice and counsel of such de
praved aud infamous scoundrels as are
trying to excite them against their best
friends, tee Southern white people aud
their old masters.
But I am afraid that many good freed
men who want to do right will be deceiv
ed, led away and ruined by heartless
scoundrels who are thus striving to pro
duce “a iuss” between the races, where
nothing but peaee, friendship and good
will should exist. It is to the iuiorest of
Loth races to be at peace with each other
The welfare and happiness of both depend
on it, aud we strive, and shall strive, so
to convince them ; but. I fear, to but lit
tie purpose with many of them. I tear
they listen to the advice and counsel of
bad men, who, to get their votes, are
making them promises, too. that they
never expect or intend to fulfill. The old
promise of a mule and forty acres of land
has played out, and I now Irani they are
promised a hundred and sixty acres of
land if Grant is elected—and this, too
like the promise of a mule and forty acres,
will soon play out—and the poor, deluded
negro will find it to be as false and as in
famous as the other, after the election is
over. These bad and wicked men niov
ed heaven and earth almost to get the
freedmen to the late Macon mass meeting
to hear those falsehoods, and I suppose,
and indeed ky.ow, that many went from
Houston. At the Fort Valley depot, I am
assured that over one thousand tickets
were sold them, and many got on at other
depots in the county. And while some
came home worn out and dissatisfied with
the whole affair, many came greatly ex
cited against our race, and rca’dy for al
most anything wrong, any action against
the whites.
And now so much of their time, is tak
en up in attending the meetings of theii
clubs by night aud their political meet
ings by day, that, unless they cease to
pursue such a course of conduct, our crops
will never be gathered, the planters will
become disheartened, and they cannot
and will not give employment to those
who arc thus spending and wasting their
time and rendering themselves unfit for
labor, and the eonsequence will be, our

At this moment the conductor entered

As the conductor drew nearer Beau thrust

the use of such articles is contrary to the teach
ings and practice of a great majority of the
regular line ot M. D.’s, but I see no just cause
or good sense in discarding a remedy which we
know to he efficient, simply because we may be
ignorant of its combination. For my part, I
shall make it a rule to use all and any means
to alleviate suffering humanity which I may be
able to command—not hesitating because some
one more ingenious than myself may have
learned its effects first, and secured the sole
right to use that knowledge. However, I am
by no means an advocate and supporter of the
thousands of worthless nostrums that flood
the country, that purport to cure all manner
of disease to which human flesh is heir. 1’lease

LETTER FROM HIS MOTHER.
Benton Barracks, Mo., April 30, 1866.
Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Knowing the effi
ciency of your Sarsaparilla, and the healing
anti beneficial qualities it possesses, 1 send you
the following statement of my case.
I was wounded about two’ years ago—was
taken prisoner and confined for sixteen months.
Being moved so often, my wounds have not
healed yet. I have not sat up a moment since
I was wounded. I am shot through the hips.
My general health is Impaired, and I need
something to assist nature. 1 have more faith
in your Sarsaparilla than in anything else. I
wish that that is genuine. Please express me
half a dozen bottles, and oblige
Capt. C. I . Johnson,
St. Louis, Mo.
P. S.—The following was writted April 30,
1866, by Mrs. Jennie Johnson, mother of Capt.
Johnson.
Dr. Bull—Dear Sir: My hnsband, Dr. C. S.
Johnson was a skillful surgeon and physician
in Central New York, where he died, leaving
the above C. P. Johnson to my care. At thir
teen years of age he had a chronic diarrhea
and scrofula, for which I gave him yotir Sarsa
pariIIa. It cubed him. 1 have for ten years
recommended it to many in New York, Ohio
and Iowa, for scrofula, fever sores, and general
debility. Perfect success has attended it. The
cures effected in some cases of scrofula and fever sores
u-ere almost miraculous I am very anxious for
my son to again have recourse to your Sarsapa
rilla. He is fearful of getting a spurious arti
cle. hence his writing to you for it. His
wounds weie terrible, but I believe he will re
cover. Respectfully,
Jennie Johnson.
