Southern hart wood hev bin lorn to

that taint the flg we oljecl to so much
es it is in th-j meu who hev bin in lhe
hibit of carryin it. In the hands c! a
constitutional deinocrat it is the same
old fljg it alius wus. In sich hands its
russle sounds in our eers like the crack
uv ihe nigger whip and the sight there
of is soothiii. For when the flag wus
in ihem hands we huiri 1 niggers un

une'er that flag we shot Lovejoy in Al

satisfied with it and refer n: every

wus sech w loved it. But when the
north dipooted our control of it and
put it in the hands uv A Linkin.a Ab

we felt that it must come down that
its mission wus ended, and to us it wus

Why,' then, when yoo, a carryin this

walk all over the South, where all is
pease and so much afTeckshun is fflin-ifes-ed
for the flag, 'why do they keep
an army to overawe us? Why " ,
A interruption here occurred. A
shot wus heard, and the crowd rushed
to see wat it wus They returned
presently. A funeral jrocesnoa uv
niggers wus passia tbro the next street

nis, and es they marched with a flag at

populis had cleaned em out. Two uv em
wus shot and the preachpr with em wu
left for dead. This over they return

r-gSLSJiL-lli-ciPJi briefly.
Siuce he come' into theSojth he had
teen treated kindly. In the rooral
deestrikts on: I or twict whare ihe pee
pul in thir deliteful uasofisiication
d nt re d the norpapers, and konse
se joei.tly didn't kt.ow jisi the i.lject of
liis carryin the flag, he wus went fur
rather ruflf, but a few words convinct
iham that he wus sound aud didn't in
comltiode them. The niggers in tha
rural deestrict alfo overwhelmed him
with attensliun, but he hed nod.ffiiul
ty in shakia em olF. Stickin a kopy
f the New York H'orld in their faces
did it. He cood say he wus ddned
with his experience.
The sera many hem over, the Mayor
mounted hia ho?s, and one band (layin
Dixie and the uther the Bonny B'oo
Flag, the perceshun moved to the
town hrtll, whare ihe Sergeant wus iu
troduct to li e principal citizens, iucloo
din the c filcers of the Ku Kiux Klao.
The affieshun di?plpyed for the flag
is rather techin than utherwise. I
notist soldiers in ihe service of lhe late
Konfederacy. who kistit in the fervor
of their devoshnn. One man who hed
served in Forests command, wept es
his eyes lit onto it, and he remarkt it
wus the happiest moment uv his life;
and a wife uv one uv Lees kurnels,
whose buzzum wus deckorated with a
pin made from a Federal soljer's skull,
k-Ut the c iner uv it. pertestin that it
wus deerer to her than 1'fe.
I left PettusviMe entirely saiisfied.
Our stump speekers hev suthin io go

shot. Ivan Ihey see in this- the path
uv peese? Kan they see how much
moar il wood harmonize things if ihey
wood let such men carry it all the time?
Kaa'l tney see tint, whereas, ther will
be a conlinyool hart buroin in the
South ef sich a man as Grant he

all wood be luvly and sweet if it is
given into the hands uv Pendleton.

The recen shooting of several no
torious gut nil is, und ihe killing and
wounding of United Stales troops iu an
encounter with them, has been the sut
ject of some of iho grossest mis-slalc-menls
that have ever come to our knowl
edge. A most glaring instance of this
kind is furnished injan article or arti
cles, now going the round of the Con
servative papers, headed "The Tiu
Cuuniy Tragedy." In these accounts
ihe public are told of a great outrage
by United Slates soldiers against a
peaceable family, of horrid cruelties,
Sec; and, finally, some of them have
the. effrontery to say that the shooting
'if a man who defied lhe laws uni au
thoritie- of lhe land, who committed
murder al will, and defied arrest, is
the result of Kidical misrule.
In 1SG3 the man Carney, wlu, with
his frit nds, have been a terror lo Union
men for several years, deliberately
murdered a co!ored man, who asked
pay for work performed. Carney, we
j are . crrfi'f.iV mrormeo, maoe puono
boasts that he would ki;i as many nig
gers as he liked, and that he would
show that the United Stales had no au
thority iu Put county yet. Shorty af
ter this murder Lieut. Kenyaw, of the
2Sth Michigan regiment was seat lo
arrest Carney. As Lieut. Kenyaw
was proceeding up stairs, Carney fired
upon him from above and killed him.
The few soldiers accompanying Lieut.
Kenyaw. were driven ofF by Carney
and his friends.: About this "time all
criminal cuses were turned over to lhe
civil authorities and military interfer-ferencece3sed-.for
- - wli!-. XJurinjj
the last two years all attempts to ar
rest Carney by the Sheriff of the coun
ty were met by armed opposition, and
thus the double murderer stalked at
large, continuing his toasts that the
United States had no authority in Pitt
ceun y.' '
This was the State of affairs when
Maj. Lymftn, being at Greenville dur
ing ihe late election for the preserva-
iff Foley io aid in ihe arrest of Carney.
Carney hearing of his contemplated
ariest, sent word lhat he thould resist
it, and that he was ; mply "prepared.
Maj. Lyman, with a s judd of soldiers,
arrived at Carney's house at daybreak
on Saturday. lie demanded admii
ance which was refused. The door
beirg broken open, Maj. Lyman foui;d
a lady in the room dressed. She re
fus'.d to give answers to any questions,
whereupon he proceeded up stairs.
When he had reached lhe turn in the
sta rs he was fired upon frcm above,
and severely wounded in the arm
The Maj'ir ihen retreated outside the
house and a general firing commenced
through the windows cf the house.
The story of the rebel papers that la
dies were driven out of the house in
their tight clothes ar.d rtfused their
dres?es, is utterly false. After one of
the soldiers had been killed, and the
guerillas it; lhe house gave no sign of
capitulating, vMaj Lyman agiin de
manded a surrender, which being re
fused he ordered lhe house to be fired.
W hile ihe building was burning, young
Carney and his brother-in-law, White
hurst came down stairs, and while fir
ing upon the soldiers, they were both
shot, ihe former being killed and the
latter severely wounded. Th-i older
Carney then came down stairs and
appeared atthe door step, A sergeant
thinking thai Carney was a!out to sur
render, walked toward Irm, whereupon
tie raided his musket, fired, -and in
stantly killed the sergeant. These
are the facts in the case, as we learn
them from unquestionable authority;
and lhi3 afFair the rebel press has the
audacity to twist and shape into an out
rage by United S'ates sold'er?.

A eiv Solid nml Attractive
i'inaiicin! UntlertaUing.
The extensive Saim Louis Clo hing
house of Messrs. Win. Young Si. Co.
have jus; iuaogurateda nfv financial en
terprise, presenting so many important
features and of so original a character,
that we think it desirable to devote
some space to the explanation of lhe
scheme; but as il is intimately connect
ed with "The Guardians' Real Es
tate Security Company', of St. Louis,
it is necessary lhat we refer first to the
character and standing of this iustilu
lion.
The Guardians' Rsal E'sta'e Securi
ty Company is an incorporated iustitu
tion with 100,000 capital, chartered
by the State of Missjurifor fifty years,
and the stockholders are made liable
by the Constitution of ihe State for
double the amount of their stock. The
object of this company is to receive
money on deposit; to loan it oui ou real
estate security and to grant reversion
ary eudownments. It is similar to an
ordinary saving banks wi h this impor
tant exception it does not allow the
deposits lo be Withdrawn at any lime
the depositor may desire, but issues
its endownment certificate for eight
limes the amount of lhe deposir, paya
ble at the end of thirty years. The
Company is pgrmiied to loan its money
cu real estate only, and it cannot ad
-tthhtm -mh ft '-n thy a&2 v t i&Of. b t
cash value of the property. It will be
seen that the Guradians' Real Estate
Security Company is established en
the most solid and permanent bas.s.
and when we add ttiat the Board of
Direcur3 is composed of such men a
A. F. Shapleigh, Wyllys King, , Geo.
D. Ilumphrys, Geo. D. Appleion and
Chauncey I. Filleyjit will be readily
believed that any obligations entered
into by this Company will be met in a
prompt and satisfactory manner. '
The chief feature in Messrs. Win.
Young &. Ca undertaking is this:
When a customer purchases a bill of
good for cash, they present him with
the endowment certificate of the com
pany referred to for the full amount
of the money received by them for lhe
goods. This secures to the purchaser
the return, after thirty years, of lhe full
amount of ajl the money he has invest
ed in tbe purchase. The arrangement
is so exceedingly advantageous to the
buyer lhai on ihe first view of ihe case,
it uiu; an h.l'ftiltffAirtnt
linent examination of ihe principles
upoa which il is based will show, how
ever, lhat it is not alone advantageous
lo the buyer, but alio to the seller; and
further, thai the scheme if conducted
in conformity with the strict mathemat
ical principles on which it is founded
will enable, the firm to sell iheir goods
below current rates and ut the same time,
earn larger profits than heretofore.
The undertaking i3 a very extensive
one, and necessitates the investment of
a large amount of capital.
We will now explain how this
scheme will prove ndraniageous lo
Messrs. Win. Young &. Co. suppose a
customer buys a bill of goods amount
ing to' 8 000. Messrs. Y & Co., in
vests 81,000 of this amount with lhe
Guardians Heal Estate Security
Company, and receive an endowment
certificate for 3,000 payable to bearer
at the end of thirty yes rs. This cer
tificate they d xate to the purchaser of
the goods. Iu ortler to make the 81,
000 deposited for lhe certificate to pro
duce the SS.COO within 30 years, it
needs only to be invested at ten per
cent, interest, compounded annually, at
which rate it will produce Sl7, 440, or
9,440 more than the face of the cer
tificate. This sum is net profit .o the
Company and as the members of the
firm of Wni. Young ci Co. own a very
large part -f the stock of The Guardi
ans' Ileal Estate Security Company, it
follows that they will share in a very
large degree this haudsomd profit.
This is one way by which the arrange
ment will benefit the firm. The next
is in the enormous increase of trade
that ii must necessarily produce. As
soon as merchants understand lhat they
can buy goods from ibis firra a3 low,
or lower than elsewhere, and secure
free of cost, endowment certificates in a
responsible company for amounts equal
to the sum paid for their goods, self
interest will impel! ihem to deal with
this house. Such a cenuiae and im
portant advantage can hardly'faii tj
draw me rchants freni all pir(s of the
country to ihe St. Louis innrke'; . ai d
on this account the meril.nnis f kSt.
Louis are :r.debtid to lhe fiiui which
has originated the scheme. It will
benefit the whole trcJe of ihe city in a
much Targer degree thin et'peifiiciul
observers woulj suppose. The third
benefit is in the character of the (fade
it will secure, namely: a ready cash
irade. The losses on a credit trade in
the best cf times are heavy these los
ees will be ssvefl. But the advantages
to the firm are small cmpareJ with
lhoe acclubg to the buyers. Just
suppose that a country merchant who
has sold 5,000 worth of clothing an
nually for the last thirty years, could
have pursued this system ell the while.
His 'certificate fot $5,000 giv n in 'OS
would now be worth the full amount of
his purchase so that he wou'd actually
have a steady income for hiniseJf, or
his family in the event of his death, of
S j.OOO a year during the nexi thirty
years and without costing hitn one
cent.
In fact these certificates arc almost
similar to endowment policies of iasur
ance, with this important (hfFere net:
they cost nothing; and as there is no
premium to pay, they cannot be tor
feited. They possess the additional
advantage of being as transferable as
a.NatioLal Bai.k nctc, which n ates
ihem-marke fable "if furllte?;' tcarlr.g1 A"
definite market value from ihe day they
are issued. " " "
