For fear tliat colored statements uv

to the prejuodis uv the Pimocracy, I

Rut Heaven smiled onto us and cive

and the surround ng county, happened

This Hismtyed em, and ihe entire mass
uv em Bich es wusn't killed, fled to the

wretches wus shot at the edge uv Mc

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

Issaker Gavitt histed strate vp in his

These injoories sustained bv our citi

infernal sperit u the inslent niggers

it. Eleven uv em wus killed, and seme

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

Hed they not come into the Corners

even then hed they gone on quietly. af

They shoodn't hev held meetins.
We kin never endure meetins uv nig

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

too much for him.and as he is now pay

he will not vote to pay them for getting

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.

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 !"
The Baltimore Wecker states that
Mr. Frederick Lnuer. of Reading.Ta
with one hundred and twenty-five of
his employees, has announced his de
parture from the bogus Democracy and
declared for Grant and Colfax. The
mv n TP P v identlv to be drawn iust
where they were in 1S64, with the reb
els and copperheads on the one fide
and all the loyal men on the other.
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 Council Bluffs Democrat, in a
recent issue, begins its leading editorial
by asking: "What shall it be, n des
potism or a Republic ?" and closes with
this remarkable larguage.now remark
able no longer because of its frequent
use by Democrats:
Placing our trut in God, but trust
inu also ourselves, let us in November
make one united and resistless attempt
to recla'm American liberty, and if by
peaceful means we fail, and the lieht
