NEGRO TROOPS IN THE \UNITED STATES
ARMT.
The-absence of Southern character, wis
dom, and experience from the Federal coun
cils, has created an opportunity forcrrorsaml
vices to creep into the government of the
countiy. Indeed, it may be doubted whether
moral and rational restraints have any influ
ence upon the opinions and measures of the
present legislators for the people of the
United States. Their own aggrandizement,
and their own mad passions, appear to be the
only rules for the regulation of their policy.
This fact is manifest throughout the legisla
tion which they have placed on the statute
book, which will stand a perpetual memorial
of American degeneracy, wickedness, and
folly.
One of the great blunders made by the par
ty now in power, is the introduction of negro
troop9 into the regular army of the United
States. It nas neither tho plea of policy nor
necessity to justify it, while every considera
tion cf national diameter and public interest
enters a most stern remonstrance. When en
gaged in the late war upon the South, when
the Government found that it had on hand a
foe that was more than it could manage with
its own population, there was some excuse, if
not justification, in calling to its aid the ne
gro population of the South. If not good
fighters, they could at least stand guard, and
thus make available in the field a large body
of white troops, who could ba relied on for
the performance of all the duties of
a soldier. But xvhen the war was
over, the Union saved, and the
States remanded—nominally at least—to their
original relations, it was due to the nation
that the army should have been reorganized
in a manner to reflect the character, intelli
gence and heroism of the American people.
There was no need of the introduction of the
black African race to its ranks, and the change
is one that strikes alike at the efficiency ot
the army, the reputation of tho nation, and
the good order and security of society.
You may speak ot “negro equality” as you
please, it is a thing that will never have a
practical existence in this or any other land-
There arc distinctive intellectual and mor
al differences, combined with the difference
of color, the work of an Almighty hand, that
will, to the’end of time and in all countries,
operate ns an insuperable harrier to associa
tion and equality between the white and
the black race. This sentiment is one
common to mankind. It is felt, and acted
upon, alike in Boston and in New Orleans.—
It pervades every enlightened society on the
globe, aud will continue to do it while the
world shall last. To make it otherwise, you
must first reverse the decrees of the Alaker
himself, and change tile entire current of
man’s opinions and instincts.
For this reason, the attempt to engraft the
negro element upon the army, will prove as
visionary and fatal us it would be to intro
duce it into social life and the halls of legis
lation. In either case its tendency is to de
grade, demoralize, and destroy the organiza
tion. You can no more mingle oil and wa
ter, or prevent eruption upon the contact of
an acid and on alkali. The great laws of Na
ture are averse to the unnatural union, and it
were lolly for man to attempt to oppose
them.
Such being natural causes and effects, wc
regard the incorporation of the block race
with the army of the United States as most
unfortunate. It will destroy harmony in the
ranks, degrade the character of the American
soldier, impair the e»prit de eorpt of the ar
my, and finally lead to thorough demorali
zation and debasement of that branch of
the public service.
As regards society, it is none the less ob
jectionable. A creature with but little brain^
by nature lull of brutality, and without the
moral restraints of education and Christiani
ty, becomes a most dangerous agent when
you put authority and a .weapon ja
his hand. He has no discretion
in the use of either, and ^is natural instfccts,
fired by the social prejudice against his race,
prove an irresistible temptation to abuse.
Every community in the South that lias been
cursed by the presence of negro troops, will
bear testimony to the truth of this position.
In our own city of Macon, during the few
weeks in which we were subjected to that
species of military rule, wc were in the midst
of a reign of terror. No man felt that he
was safe, either on the highway in broad day
light, or at aight within the once sacred pre
ciccts of home. Men never entered the streets
without pistols in their hands; the wo
men trembled and agonized with fear
at every absence of their protector, and
even the ministers of our holy religion
left their homes for the bouse of Go-J with
their persons begirt with weapons. No age
or sex was exempt from insult, indignity and
violence, and the absence of all offense gave
no immunity from attack. All other com
munities have similarly ^suffered when sub
jected to the same influences. Look at Co
lumbus, New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Charles
ton, and but a day or two ago, at the fright
ful scenes enacted in the town of Helena in
the State of Arkansas. '’'What safety has so
ciety so long as the Government persists in
educating the negro for deeds of violence and
atrocity, and even putting arms in his hands
to cut the throats or blow out the brains of
unoffending citizens. The policy is a most
pernicious one, and if persisted id our country
will be dotted all over with scenes of blood
shed and slaughter. There is no excuse for
it in time of peace, and os the whole thingis
but one step in the Radical programme to
elevate the negro at the expense of the white
citizen, to destroy the peace of the Sonth,
and bring all the degradation possiblo
on a large portion of the white citizens ot the
country, we hope the President and the
new party of patriots that ho is collecting
around him, will reverse the policy of their
enemies, drive out everything that is danger
ous to the public peace, and restore both the
army and the Government to their original
character and dignity.

The Riot in New Orleans—By whom it was plan

orders to Gen. Sheridan—^Necessity tor the dis-
sironnent of the blades—The Philadelphia Con
vention.
Wa-iiim.fox, Au_. 7, 1-S06
The riot at New Orlenns turns out to be a
very serious affair, and to be more of a na
tional than a local occurrence. Gen. Sheri
dan was absent Iroru thccity at the time,and
Gen. Baird, the officer in command, was in
full affiliation with the conspirators. So far
as the riot was concerned, the whole tiling
was planned by Thaddeus Stevens, Mr. Banks,
Mr. Boutwell, anil the other radical leaders
here, before the adjournment ot Congress. At
the celebrated secret midnight meeting of the
radical caucus, held July 10, Mr. Boutwell,
of Massachusetts, endeavored to prevail on the
Republican members to rcinnin in session all
summer, and said “ho thought it very desira
ble that Congress should continue in session
for other reasons than those which had been
suggested. lie would mention one. A dis
tinguished gentleman from the Goutli wns in
town, from whom he had learned that the
Louisiana Convention would meet on the
30th for tho revision of the State Constitu
tion, and that amendments would be adopted
disfranchising the rebel and enfranchising
the loyal inhabitants without distinction of
color. If Congress should be in session when
this Constitution Bliould be adopted, it
could, in accordance with the precedent es
tablished in the Rhode Island case, accept it,
and thus give it validity as the Constitution
of the State. In the Rhode Island case the
Supreme Court decided that it was for Con
gress to decide which was the Constitutional
Government of any State in which doubts ex -
isted. If Congress should not be in session,
a long time must elapse before action could
be taken; the new Government of the State
might fail to get a foothold, and th? country
would experience a veyy serious calamity.”
In pursuance of this plan, specific in
structions were sent by the Radical lead
ers here to their tools and accomplices
in New Orleans, of whom General Baird
seems to be one, and these instructions were
literally obeyed. Every means wero resorted
to to stimulate a riot and to excite the worst
passions of the ignorant and degraded blacks.
Mobs of the negroes were got together, and
were marched through the streets for several
nights in succession, before the riot, armed
with brickbats, clubs, sticks, knives and pis-
ols. Crowds ot these negroes attacked eve
ry policeman they met; und when the police
men attempted to arrest the ringleaders, they
were set upon and beaten. These were the
sure precursors of the riot that followed on
the 30th. It was the duty of General Baird,
of course, to have arrested every negro con
cerned in these disturbances. But ho did
nothing of the kind. He looked on
in silence and encouraged the negroes
by this tacit approval.
When Gen. Sheridan returned to the city,
after the riot, Gen. Baird gave him an un
truthful, misrepresented and distorted report
of the occurrence, in which lie took care to
throw all the blame on the police and Mayor
Munroc. Gen. Sheridan was somewhat de-
cieved by this report. But he knew exactly
what the Convention and its members were:
he knew that it was a treasonable and revo
lutionary body: lie determined to prevent it
from re-assembling: and lie took effective
measures to that end. The President, on
hearing of the occurrence, immediately tele
graphed to him to return to the city, to pre
vent the Convention from assembling, and to
sustain Mayor Munroc in the administration
of thecivil power, with all the military force
that may be necessary. The President has
also required Gen. Sheridan to make to him
a full report of the riot, its origin, etc. A
private letter has been received here from
Gen. Sheridan, dated August 2d. in which
he says that he was greatly deceived by the
first accounts that were brought to him about
the riot; that he has commenced n full inves
tigation of it, and that he has already found
’ that it had its immediate origin in the bad
feelings thnt had been engendered betwom
the people of New Orleans and the negroes,
in consequence of the latter having been al
lowed to arm themselves and to parade the
streets in un offensive manner.
This is just the game that the Radical lead
ers arc trying to play, not only in Louisiana,
but in all the Southern States. The negroes
are to be armed, while arms are to be kept
away from the white people, and the negroes
are to be encouraged to carry themselves in
solently, and to fire upon the white people
upon the slightest provocation. Riots like
this one in New Orleans are to be incited, if
possible, in every Southern city. The object
in view is to obtain pretexts for the establish-
S ient of military rule in all the Southern
tates,60 as to destroy the functions ot the
civil government of the States, and thus de
lay for years the restoration of those States
to the Union. Such is the plot. But the
President is fully aware of it, and will take
prompt measures to prevent its success. In
the meantime, however, the first step to l»e
taken, is for all the weapons.to be taken from
the negroes, and diligent search to be made
for arms which have been secretly supplied
to them, and which they have concealed. As
long as they are allowed to have these arms,
and arc encouraged to use them, they will be
insolent The Governor of each one of the
Southern States onght to appoint some dis
creet person to come to Washington and lay
this matter belore the President and urge
him to order the immediate disarmment of
the blacks. He will undoubtedly do it if
the proper representations are made to him
It is a fortunate thing for Georgia that
Alexander H. Stephens and Herschel V. John
ston arc among her delegates to the Philadel
phia National Convention. If snch men arc
received with open arms, and welcomed to
scats in the Convention, as they unquestion
ably will be, there need be no further donbt
about the character of the Convention. Re
ly upon it, no person from the North will be
admitted as a delegate, who has not been
honest and consistent in his support of the
President’s Restoration policy.
Nothing can be said yet about the proba
ble duration of the Convention, except that
its proceedings will not be marked by haste.
The 14th will probably be devoted to tempo
rary organization: the 15th to permanent or
ganization and appointment of a committee
on resolutions; and the remainder of tho first
week to a full and free interchange of views
in epen convention. The sessions of the
Convention will probably continue during the
succeeding week.
Ex traordinary preparations are being made
by the people of Philadelphia to contribute
to the comfort and pleasure of the delegates,
while they remain in thnt city. The hotel
accommodations are ample, and many private
houses will gladly receive old friends and ac
quaintances. Warwick.

Remarks.—A general dullness has pervaded the
city during the past week, owing to the absence of
most of our leading merchants and business meu,
and the extreme heat of the weather, which has
almost entirely unfitted those left behind for the
most trivial business. Onr merchants are now ab
sent purchasing their stocks for the All trade,
which bids fair to be much augmented, and to com
mence at an earlier period than is usual with us.
Cotton—The recefpts of cotton since tho 3rd
inst. have been as follows, viz: 2,620 bales Upland
and 9 bales Sea Island Cotton. The exports In tlie
same time have been 1,390 bales Upland and 43
bales Bea Island cotton, all to New York—leaving
on hand and on shipboard not cleared oc the 10th
inst., a stock of 8,105 bales Upland and 13 bates
Sea Island.
There has been so little business done in the
cotton market since our last, as scarcely to war
rant us in making up a market repoit. The lew
transactions which nave taken place, have been
at our last week’s figures, vis: 321 fur Middling,
