The cap 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. On either hand were dense thickets of Circuit. Court Bench—and the other wants their votes to send him to Congress, lie wanted them and sought them at the j last election, but couid not get them, and was therefore ba lly beaten by Col. Tift, in the Second Congressional District The 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 young man five or six armed men at the f 0,1 b' «‘f n J of the negroes and they are J ° - - disposed (not all ot them tor there are some good freedmen among them) to in sult the whites and “raise a row,” and I 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 . . . ... - able aud worthy people, were walk ng the blackjack, through which it would be atreets quiedv aud ^ticipadng no inter- imposs.hle to ride. Suddenly, a stern , ruption from any source, when they were shrut falls on the young man scars in | met by a negro man, who intentionally, front he is commanded to “half and j d ven ru , JaIy anJ inso!pji:ly , wa!k( f (1 “who comes there: is asked. He ~~ 1 J swers “friend.” A fiendish from his enemies and they cloi on him. He turned to retreat but heard 1 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 lands will be uncultivated aud no cotton can be raised, and the poor, deceived and ruined freedmen. will be, without em ployment and without homes, with their We were one 1 traveling over the rail way from Washington City to Baltimore, when we observed a peeular sort of a man sitting bard by—a tall, slim, good n&tured j fellow, but one somehow who seemed to I bear the impress of a person who lived by his wits, written ou his face.

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. DR.
