Hostile Demonstrations^^
\Ve are no alarmist ; nor do we give
credence to every sensational rumor, re
tailed by penny-a-liners; but facts' have
been revealed, within the past lew weeks
startling in their diameter, and ominous
of trouble and bloodshed. \Vu relitr to
the extensive military in
uuguruted by tbo colored population.
These organizations appear to be perlect
in all the Southern States, ami
(he designs and purposes of these
incuts are being developed. In SoinW
•Carolina they have assumed sitclt pro
pol l ions that frequent appeals have been
■made to the Radical Governor, for I licit
•suppression—but in vain ; the leaders
publicly proclaim that they intend vin
ienoc, and assert that there is a Captain
cmcaeVi plantation, •worn “do his duty,"
when the hour for action arrives. .Seri
ous troubke aro anticipated in that
State by the most cautious and prudent
men.
In At ibntiia, the “carpet-bag”members
of ilie Legislature, appeared intent 4on j
caiisinif bloodshed, and one of their until 1
tier, a few days ago boldly declared Ihat
unless every demand of the extreme,rad- j
ical party was rivaled, ninety thousand
freedmen of that State were ready to res ,
pond to the cry of “lo arms 1"
Similar demonstrations aro made in
other States—and the policy of "rule or
ruin,” appears to be the one agreed up
on.
[n Georgia, wo have abundant evi
dence, of a design on the part 1 1 Radic
als to carry the Stale for Chant, by foi'iv- 1
if necessary. We publish in anothoi
column a letter from a responsible cili
sen of Webster county, giving in detail,
the proceedings bad by a large assem
blage of negroes on ibe 8111 inst.; and it
will be perceived that the speakers on |
that occasion, boldly declared that tlioir
race were entitled to not only political
and social equality but to one
third the property of the State; and that
they should possess themselves of lit.:
same even though blood flowed freely.
Similar meetings have been held in the
counties of Jones, Sumter, Hancock, etc.
In the latter county a negro has been ar
rested for attempting to force colored
tneu into ajnii tarv organization, which
he said he had orders to raise. Hie ob
ject of the army he was raising he gave
the negroes lo distinctly understand was
to kill off the Democrats.
Now, as we stated in the offset, we
are not one of those who snuff danger
from the passing gale—but facts are
■stubborn things. We have the glaring
evidence presented, that the emissaries
r.f the Radical party are organizing the
ignorant element of our copulation in
compact military associations, practic
ing them in the manual of arms, furn
•diiug them with riiimlfclous weapons
and tutoring them in the policy of inau
gurating war. Under tl.esc circiimstan
j oca, what are the duties imposed upon
the Cauetissian race ? Wc cannot inliu
| cnee ignorance and induce it to abandon
; error, whilst tinder the absolute control
of pensioned villians. Winds, in such u
cause nro idle ! The only alternative
left, is prompt prejiaration lo vied Ihr tin

Mr, Editor: lam in possession ot a 1
eonimnnieujfou from a responsible citi
zeti uf’\\'ebster county who attended a
colored Radical meeting on Saturday last
whose speakers gaVo utterance to the
’ following :
“They would inherit one third of the j
lands in Ameiica, and they would have
to pass through a bloody war to aceom
plisli it. Christmas is the I inie set apart ;
ii)f the conflict to commence. That the j
whites and negroes ei nld not live to- ;
I get her; that separation must take place.’ j
i When these declarations were made the j
speaker was cheered with shouts ol
“Separation now, don’t wait until Christ j
! mas, we want it now.’
! lie also told them of “the happiness j
! they would enjoy, when the whites were !
j all killed out. The prize would be theirs j
j and they should act lie down quietly nt j
| their homes with their families, and ;
1 there would be no white man to harm j
them in their enjoyments, Won by the
| valor of colored men.”
| They stated that “the Democrats ought |
jto have their heads taken off, and the j
time would come when it would be
1 done!’
These things I board from the lips of 1
the speakers, and take the liberty to say
that it is time tiie whites were organ
izing themselves in such a manner as to,
be able to defend their notnes and fami
lies.
This meeting was held at Spring Hill
School House, two and half miles west

A decent respect lor Ihe opinions ol

; Tiie "Congressional Infirmary” is an
I Institution estaidislicd by members ot

; leave their invalid pet aii’inais lor

i a skillful “House Surgeon,” who receives ;
! as compensation for services, one dollar a
I day in Greenbacks, and rations in com- 1
j moo with inmates, free. The Sitrg. a! .
I operation was simply the amputation of
; the cereal extremity of a ‘T- in < hit by Ihe ;
"House Surgeon.” I assisted in holding 1
tiie tail. The operation was performed
;in a manner to salisly all present or
accounted (or, that Ihe operator was no :
novice in such work. The "House mii
geon is a citizen of the State of New

1 will be sufficient to dimbuse tie: mind ol
