For fear tliat colored statements uv the recent unhappy afTair which oc curred at this place may sent North, to the prejuodis uv the Pimocracy, I hereby make a calm and truthf ul state ment uv it. I will prefix my account by statin that the riuzpns uv thu Cor ners hev alius desirt d to hve on amica ble terms with tin: colored men, feelm tfiut ther interebts ate more or le?!" ideniille. To show how completely we hev conquered our prejoodises and how much we desire peece I will Mate ihat for a mot th ther hev bin only two niegers Lung, and them under c rcum staoces of preat f rovocaiion. One uv em hiade a ace Bt Lsaker Gavi-.t, and toiher refoozed to give Kernel V unt credit for a load uv wa er melons.claun in 'hat the Kernel already owed him. and that ther wus no law for a nigeer to collect debts uv white men. Uv course we cant .Man inslence from em. The late onpleajantnis originated in Ii is wi?e. The Radicals i:v this coun ty ked civfn nut ihat they intended ho!din ft politikle meetitv at this place on the l?fjih instant. I knew ef they did it. I lood wood flow, furl knowd the tfir.p-r and feelin uv cur peeceable cil i.T.p. To ave-id tlcod shed I sent word o em not to come not to hold ihe HlPFtin ibat ef they did I cood net be held responsible, and ther bit od wooil be en ther 0'.n heads. Partikilerly I warm tl em not to come arni' d, fi r our citizen wont tar.d that anyhow. We kin nr-vor j ermit men who diiTe-r fn in us to carry anna es in case wc hevdis poots with em they mi'e be dangerou?, My well nifant endeavors wu frtot lif nt.d Is-ak'.T Gat itt thot he'd try.

Es the procession stopt in front uv 1 asrom'f our citizens conjectured ther design wus to attack the groserv. wich is rely the citade-l uv the town. In Bii'com's is all the hkker we hev in Hasot m's cur inrosent revels is held and H.iscom's we ii!l defend to the last' Wa' wus we to do? Unarmed and hlpli we wus r nprepared for this. Rut Heaven smiled onto us and cive u the means to defend ourselves. The rifles revolvers and shot gun lelongin to the princeple familes uv ihe corners, and the surround ng county, happened to bo in I33?com's starkt up behind his bar. and provulenshelly they was all loaded ami capped In a ininit's lime ihey vvas distributid, and afore the mob cood organize to make the attack a well directed volley win poured into em. This Hismtyed em, and ihe entire mass uv em Bich es wusn't killed, fled to the wo..ds. Two uv the blood-thirsty wretches wus shot at the edge uv Mc IVlters.' wood, by the Captain and El der Fennibacker,' who feared they wu agoin in ther to re-organize and return to complete ther dreadful work. Elder Fennibacker ki led one inhuman villain with an axe, wich hed bin wounded in the lez and wus found in one corner uv his fence iryin to Mop the flow uv the blood. The Elder was afeered he mite re-oreanize.-All that ay a posse uv citizens were engneed in quellin the fears uv the community by hun'in down those dangerous incenjaries with dorgs and killin uv em, for es they exceeded 'is in numbers we rely trembled for the safety uv our wives and children. After a terrible day the agitated town wus restored to its wonii-J peece, and the citizens slept es yoosual. The casulties on our side is not so large as mite hev bin expected, when we con sider the fearful purpose uv the barbar ians who assaled us. Deekin Pogram wus seriously injnored by a rock wich Issaker Gavitt histed strate vp in his un'hinWm excitement, and poor Kernel TVTcPehers shot eon busied the second time he fired, taken off his thumb. These injoories sustained bv our citi zens, may be charged directly to the infernal sperit u the inslent niggers who would pervoke our peeceful in clined people. But ihev suffered for it. Eleven uv em wus killed, and seme thirty or forty wus wounded. The lat NISBKASKA, T 1 1 U II a DA ter hev all bin cared for. They wus taken to the county infirmary fur treat inent the expense beicg charged up to em es a lem upon ther property, wich will, uv course, be sold to detray it. Our citizens do wot boast uv wat they hev done. They feel it wus an unpleasant doo y they hed to perform, but they hed do it. Corrupt and reck less men hev bin leadin the colured people astray, and they hed to defend theirselves. Hed they only taken my advice and not attempted to huld ther meetin this wood not hev happened. Hed they not come into the Corners with mooic and a nashel flasr a fiyin, they wood not hev bin killed. And even then hed they gone on quietly. af ter the fust one wus shot and the others knockt down with sfjns I doubt wheth er any more would hev bin done. They shoodn't hev held meetins. We kin never endure meetins uv nig gt rs, and we never will. Ki owin this whv will they persist in holdin uv em ? The citizens uv the Corners agree unanimously (except Joe liigler and Pollok.) that all the blame must rest on the nigcers. I don't bieeve in ap peel to arms.but wat kin we do when we are so driven.

He finds that in Maine. Massachusetts, Connec ticut ant! New Y"rk. the Fa vines banks alone held 100.000 000 of these se curities. One bank in New York ci'v on the 1st of last January, had 5o 303 ncrounts. Of this number. 3.1512 had deposited not more'han 8100 each.

This was too much for him.and as he is now pay ing his share of the cost of putiintr down the Democratic rbeliion. thinks he will not vote to pay them for getting it up and plui.ging the country into a bloody war.

Grant, Washington, D. C. Dear General : I hope you will not think it out of place for me to ten der you my most hearty congratulations upon the action of the Chicago Conven tion. The perfect unanimity and great enthusiasm of your nomination were certainly highly gratifying is being a formal ratification of the popular in dorsement.! of your public recoid.which have heretofore been made throughout the country. But your unanimous nom ination was long predetermined, and was but the fulfillment of universal ex pectation. On the other hand when the Convention met, there was ground for apprehension that its action in oth er respects might not be so wise. But the apprehension has, at least in a great degree, beeu dispelled. The judicious selection of Mr. Colfax as second on the ticket, and the genetal practical wisdom displayed in framing the plat form that is, in laying down practical rules of action, based upon the neces sities of the country, instead of abstract political theories have greatly increas ed the probabilities of success, and at the same time made that success the more to be desired. I have always believed that the Union could be fuby restored only by the men who put down the Rebehbr, while I have not been without serious apprehensions that, by forcing upon the country extreme Rad ical theories, the stability of the Gov ernment might be endangered. Great reforms require time for their full de velopment time in which theories may be anal zed. and that which is sound and of practical Utility separated from the unsound and chimerical. Wisdom and moderation in Congress will now eive the country restoration and peace. Your election to the Presidency will be the end of our political trouble?, as your accession to the Coinmai d in Chief of the Army was the end of the Southern Rebellion. Very respect'ly, your obed't serv't. J. M. SciioriEi.r Brevet Maj. Gen. A droll lellow was asked by an old lady to read the newspaper, and taking it beean as follows : "Last night yesterday morning, abnut 2 in the afternoon, before break fast, a hungry boy about forty years old bought a big custard for a levy, and threw it through a brick wall nine feel thick, and jumping over it broke his r'ght ankle off by the left knee, fell into a dry null pund and was drowued. About forty years after that, on the same day an old cat had twenty :urkt-y gobblers; a hiffh wind blew Yankee Doodle tn a frying pan. and knocked the old Dutch churn down and killed a sow and two dead pigs at Boston, where a deaf and dumb man was talking French to his aunt Peter." The old woman taking k long breath exclaimed : "Du tell !"

Thank Heaven, we hall have no more Camillo massacres after the4ihof next Mi rch. When General Grant is in aucurated the rebellion will be finally subdued, and the favorite Southern modes of persuasion, such as the pistol and bowie knife, will give place to the more civilized methods which prevail where equitable laws are honestly en forced. The last number of the Covington (Ga) Examiner contains the announce ment that two carpet-bKg school teach ers, Lee and Hammond." having "re ceived a gentle admonition that their valuable services might poscibly be more appreciated in some other lati tude, look an affectionate adieu of their associates, and on Monday last turned their faces toward Mason and Dixon's I .;n " This is a roundabout way of statinc that the Democrats of C ivington threatened to mob ihese persons if they did not leave the county. Their crime was teaching the colored children he simplest rudiments of education. This the Covington Democrats do Dot consid er a "legitimate avocatioD."

"The new nirknam flung at us is 'Radicals ' I had rather be called a radical than a rebel at ant time.
