Welles was then subjected to a severe cross examination, but nothing uew was elicited. Postmaster General Randall was next called. Blodgctt was suspended from the Augusta PostyflicG without the knowledge of or consultation with the President. Randall knew of no appointment of persons in his Department who could not take the te3t oath, and Blodgctt was suspended because of bis indictment for gettiug ellice by perjury.

Mr. Ryland Randolph, editor of the Tusca loosa Monitor, lately had a diliicully with a ne?ro in Tuscaloosa county, in which Le cut the negro with a knife. Mr. Randolph, learn ing that his arrest was ordered by the milita ry, came nt once to Montgomery, and reached this eily last night at nine o'clock, and imme dintely reported to Gen. Sheperd. He was told to report this morning at ten o'clock, which he did promptly. General Shepherd informed Mr. R. that he must be committed to thc military prison without the benefit of bail. Do further remarked that in all esses of mili tary arrests the. parties would be committed to the military prison, there to remain until discharged by a military commission. Mr. R. was promised a speedy investigation by a military commission. To ruy. COLORED CITIZENS.-A few days ngo, two white men came among us, who live near the Camp Ground. They gavons ticket< to draw six bushels of corn and forty pounds of bacon, if wc voted the Republican ticket. The ticket given us was headed " Commissary Department,''and signed Henry Smith. Seven of us came to Columbia Tuesday, to look after our corn and bacon. We. presented .-ur tickets, ar.d they laughed at us. Thank God, wu have not voted yet. To day. seven more voles will go in for the Democratic ticket. Ocr old friends, the w hite people, told us we were deceived. We refused to believe them ; we trusted the Yankee people, and believed in their corn and bacon tickets. We have tried and they have not stuck up to their pr -mises.

Many months ago we warned the Radicals that they were sowing a fearful harvest in tho South. "We told them that thc measures they were adopting would inevitably result in a conflict between the two races. Heedless of the solemn lessons which- history teaches,and utterly regardless of Ufo laws of nature, our Radical rulers forced their policy upon- the South, and already are we beginning-to see what the constqueuces will be/ From.all ap pearances a war of races in that unhappy section of thc "Union is rapidly approaching. The first seed3 of distrust were sown by tho Freedmeu'sjRureau, which, although under thc patronage of the general government, was most shamefully used by the Radical party to poison the minds of '.he ignorant' blacks against their former mas.ers. At a later day, the Bureau not being as secret a concern as was desirable, Loyal League clubs were formed from the Potomac to thc Rio Grande.-These Oiga iizatious were composed almost entirely of negroes; they became so powerful in num bers and political importance that eventually their members assumed to be tho rulers and masters of the whiles. So long as they were permitted to display their arrogance and as sert their dsurp'ed power so long was the dan ger averted. But the logical result of two years of despotism lies now before us in the fact of a counter action o i the part of the whites. Froar one end of the* Soul h to the other a new secret society known as the ''Ku Klux Klan" has been oiganizedin opposition to universal negro suffrage and negro rule. The aims and purposes of the association are not concealed Irom the world. The South ern whites have declare! that they will no longer tolerate a policy which sinks them into servitude and makes a Remi barbarous race their masters. Thus we uow have two in tensely hostile elements organized and organ izing, and fuc.ng each other-tho Ku Klux Klan, or sccrei- society of white men, on the one hand, and the Loyal League Association, or secret society of negroes, on the other, each struggling for supremacy, anti, each of a race alien lu civilizition and ideas to the oth er. How long will it be before such antago nistic elements pas? the bounds of political warfare and engage in a contest of bloodshed and desolation ? Tho above extract from the New York He rald is full of truth ; although wc think it is too fast in its conclusion, that a war of races in the South ?3 inevitable. It is in error also i i supposing that the secret organization of the Ku Klux Klan, is generally prevalent in the South. It is unknown, we aro satisfied, iu South Carolina ; and excepting in Tennes see, where i> originated, cnn scarcely be snid to bo an organization at all. The proper time for such organizations, has no*, yet ar rived. The white race of the South, are now earnestly striving to prevent the necessity of any such organizations, by defeating tho ne gro constitutions, by which negro rule is to nc put over them. Until it in tested, whether they will have this rule put over them, th^y w.ll endeavor to avoid all organizations look ing to its defeat, by violence in any form. But should thev fail in their efforts ; and negro governments bc put over them, we doubt not ?hat eve.-}' city, town, village and neighbour hood in the South, will have combinations of thc whits population, to protect themselves agaiaat negro rule. Our own impreSMOn. however, bas ever been, that Congressional reconstruct iou (or rather d- struction) for tile Soutbcru Stat<*3 will fail ; that is-'hat so many States will fail adoplirg it as p actically to defeat th'-, object for which it was put into operation-thu perpetuation of thc Radical* iiLpoioert Should it fail in Virginia, North C'irolinii,; Georgia, Texas, and Alab ima, the peop'c of the other Southern States may well await thc development bf events, through the next Presidential election. But if the Radi cal policy is successful throughout the South, the Herald is perfectly ri^hr in its inference -that a war of races is inevitable., and wc do not suppose that any intelligent while man in thc South or '.he North-Radical or Demo erat, has now, or eyer had any doubt, that this would be, and must be, the i-estHt of such a policy. Thc idea, that the white race in the South, vastly superior ia numbers to the negroes, would allow the Southern States to be ruled by them-is so silly and absurd,that no sensible maa could enter tato it. Tho Rudi .taU Vu ?Congre?? ku?? wUon tiley pasae-d these measures of reconstruction, that they would institute by them, if successful, a war of races in the South. They knew it-ai l they iuter.ded it. The Southern people, will strive to avoid it ; but when it becomes inev itable, they will accept their fate, and meet it as becomes them. They have no more fear of the rule of degree?, than of a herd of wild buffaloes from the prairies of the West. Charleston Mercury. The Storm. SAVANNAH, April 17.

She will carry out about six hun dred and fifty colored people, said to bc com posed of tho best and most industrious of that race in the South, who have asked the socie ty to send them to the land of their fathers. This will be the largest number of emigrants that bas been sent to Africa in one ship. Ship and Cargo Burned. MOBILE, April 18. p. m.-The ship Alter/ Gallatin was struck by lightning and burned in thc outer bay yesterday morning. Three thousand one hundred bales of cotton were le8troyed, involving a loss of nearly haifa million dollars-insured principally in Liv ?rpOol. After all hopes of saving the vessel were given np, she was scuttled and sunk in three fathoms of water. A BAD THING OP WHICH THE K. K. K. IS INNOCENT.-The Gadsden ZYmessays that, on Monday last, we were in Jacksonville, and witnessed a sight sickening and revolting in the extreme. After the nrrc-t of Judge Pope, who was so feeble from ill Health that he could scarcely walk, and as the guards were con fusing him to jail, an aged, grey haired man so afflicted with paralysie, that he had not walked for years without the aid of crutehe-, too outraged to contain himself, cried out, ' Judge, are they taking you to jail ? Well, J-n mo if I'd go with them ?" For this monstrous utterance, a soldb-r made a tilt at aim with fixed bayonet. The choleric old man bestowed a shower of oaths on the sol fier, who turned away and left him. His riends now coming np, got tl e old gentleman nto his buggy, and started ont of town with lim. Lieut.

Canby shall eeo fit to again open the polls. This wo presumo will not be done? simply because there is no necessity for it. No necessity for further radical sham and dishonesty. Tho success of the negro-radical party in the State is a foregone conclusion. The negroes and r.*diea% aro high on the mountain tops of glory. Tho higher they ore ?ow, the deeper will bo their fall in the fullness of time! As rogards the election at this place, we have but little to say ; on the first day the negroes swarmed like locusts in Egypt; and even on tho second and third days, despite the torrents of rain, they cr>rtinued to flock to the polls in goodly numbers. Not so with the whites. In compari son with the negroes, they were most culpably few and f'ir bo'tween. The voting was done in tho Court House. As far as we can learn, some ten er twelvo freedmon, at this box, voted thc Democrat ic ticket Everything passed off quietly ; there was not oven a fisticuff to disturb the monotony. And so it was, wo believe, throughout the District. We havo been able to ascertain the result at three I precincts only. Wo make the ttatemont : Democrat?. Radicals. Edgefield C. H. 233 944.

Give Them the Preference by AH Means. We mean those freedmen who, in the late elec tion, manifested conservative .principles. It is undoubtedly the duty of white men to give the preference of employ tuon t to ril colored men who voted tbe Democratic ticket. Fewer perhaps voted with the whites in "ridgefield than in any ofbir pait of tho State. Tho fewer, however, the inure easily renumbered. We do not imagiue that any argument is needed, to prove to the white people thai they should do as we have said above. Let those freedmen who have exhibited both good senfc and good feeling, be particularly remem bered and pa'ronized by the whites. Tinder ex isting circumstances, their voting with tbe whites was a brave thing. They deserve to be rewarded. Meat and bread to the freedmen are involved in theso elections. White man are not going to feed their ecemiea. They will nut nurse vipers in their bosoms to sting thom. The colored man is now choosing between carpet-bag speculators, unknown strangers, and their own Southern white people. As they choose, there will be peace and mutual support, or antagonism and separation. Tho colored men certainly knew that aa election is not thing done in a corner or in the sccreoy of a league meeting, but in open day and before the eyes of all men. Every vote oast ia known and noted down on paper. The watchful eyes of the white people have been upon the clei lion as it transpired ; and evory colored voter has made his mark by his ballot, whether ho is a friend or an enemy of his white neighbors. We greatly fear that a vast amount of sofforing and misery (far greater than they have already experienced) is in store for the unhappy and de luded blacks, the victims of Radical ambition, and of the white scoundrels who aro deceiving them to their ruin. If they could but be made to understand that it is the sway of the party in power-the Radicals who profess to be their friends and benefactors-which has brought tho planting interests to such a condition that they can get comparatively little work, and that th* perpetuation of thia rule is to perpetuate and ir. creaso the evil, they would spurn the white mis creants who have cheated them with false hopes ; and at the ballot b . would crush their ambitious srhrmos based A/on negro credulity and igno rncu. But enough. We fear we but dart straws against the wind. -? ? .-. Towards the Equator? Or Towards the Poles? It is very evident to our mind that wonderful climactic changes ure taking place on the earth, flow different are the soasons now-a-days from what they used to be when we were a school boy ! And it is difficult to tell exactly which way tbeie changes aro ?ending. Sometimes we think thc temperate regions in which we live, are veering gradually towards the equator; and then again, as during the present cold and rainy spell, we ladino ti the belief that we are gradually ap proachiog the North pole. How ia it? Who can throw light on thu subject? God forbid however, that we should be traveling Northward; that is, unless we have already swung around tho equator and are going up on the other side. For in this latter case we should give the Yankoes the go-by ; and in course of timo they would occupy our country, and*wo theirs. A very good country is the latter if cleared of its vipers. But (Hen thc niggers are going along with us. Tb at is .a hor rible idea. We should prefer to leave them hero, to bc ready when their friends come along. How shiill wc arrange it ? Bah ! it is a hopeless caso. We sha'l never be rid eiiber. of niggers or Yan kees ; ce: tainly not of Yankee.*. For should we louve i ff traveling on the surface of. the globe, and pierce through thc bowels of tho earth, even into "hell or China," there wc should find them. Both places would be full of them ! lu profound desperation we give up the subject, aud proceed to speak of the lute terrible ruins ; which indeed was our original intention. During the last ten days the windows of heaven have been open to the very fullest extent. Scarce ly a day during that time, butjbojbjhj,ekj?loudf Uixve gathered in iuiiiion.u u.U.ar? u.l.o-^^BT.kU.'-l lug their contents, amid lightning anT^Punder, upon the earth. Even while we write/^onday morning, there is going on such au outpouring from the clements that tho country for miles around us seems a surging, rolling, tumbling sea. Every little stream that usually would hardly swim ii duck, now ri-joic?? in a prodigious torrent, and might invite a muu of-wur to ride upon its bosom. Beaver Dam scorns his ancient limits, und utrides to tho sea with the lordly und precipi tate step of tho Mississippi. In the meantime the rushing aud surging of the waters have of course dono immense harm. We have not. however, learned tho extent of the damages. The railroads of our State are still, we believe, iu running order, but unless a favorable change shall suoutuke place they must inevitably "cavo in." Those floods have doubtlosa extended orv the State ; nay over the entire South. At this season of the year, rains ate usual, but we have never known them so terribly heavy and continuous be fore. They will work destruction in more ways than ono. Bcforo thesi floods set io, the prospects were gloomy enough ; now they aro a hundred per cent moro so.

' We und the following article in the Greens boro' (N. C.) Patriot, of Monday last : The clerk of the cpnnty conrt informs us that Mme time hst fall application was made hy a colored man for a license, .to roarry a white woman. The maa was told that such proceeding would be contrary to the law of j theJState ; whereupon he went to tho arippr intendent of., the Freedmen's^Bnreau^. .who called upon the clerk, nod ^aa-iqld thai such license could not bo granted without ?, milita ry order to that eflec;. The superintendent here then wrote to tile State Superintendent - j "at Raleigh, stating the case, and that there were three such cases before him, and asking that a " special order" might be granted-in a specified c se (where the woman already had children by the man ), if a "general order" could not be giren for al!. He wrote a second time before receiving an answer, which bad been delayed on account of watting a return from headquarters at Charleston. The fol lowing was finally received as Gen. Canby's response : ? HEADQUARTERS SECOND MILITARY DIST., CHARLESTON, S. C., Nov. IO, 1767. J " Brevet General N. A. Miles, U. S. A., Assis tant Commissioner Bureau U. ?L, F. & A. L., Raleigh, N. C.: SIR: Referring to communication pf Cap tain Hilderbrmdt, representing that cases ari.-e where freedmen marry whites, and the clerk refuses to issue licenses, forwarded by yon on tho 23d ultimo, is received. I am directed by the commanding general to state in reply, that the laws of the United States invest all classes of citizens with equal rights, and that whenever these rights are de nied, thc same laws furnish ample remedy. The commanding general does not deem it necessary to order civil officers to obey the laws of the United States in such cases. You will please inform Captain Hilderbrandt of this determination. I am, sir, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, L. V. CAZIARC, A. D. C., A. A. A. G. The clerk, still reluctant to perfbria so dis agreeable a duty, requested a copy of Gene ral Canby's letter and a little time to consult his legal frie aft. Captain Hilderbrandt po litely complied, and furnished him a copy of the correspondence. At the request of the clerk, six gentlemen of the legal profession in Greensboro' met and considered the case. It is unnecessary to state what was said about the constitution ality or unconstitutionality of the laws of the United State;; (Civil Rights Bill) referred to by General Canby. They were unanimous in the opinion that thc Federal law is para mount until it paull be repealed or pronounc ed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States-consequently, that tLe clerk had no option but to be governed in bis official conduct by this paramount law, and the interpretation given by the military commander. Such is a plain, dispassionate st itement of this matter. Three or four instances have since occurred of marriages between negcoes and whites in this county. Of the character of such whites we have nothing to say. The consequences to flow from this radical change in our social laws we leave to the imagina tion of our readers. The subject is loathsome -we will let it rest for the present THE AMBROSIAL ASHLEY AGAIN.-Mr. Ash ley, M. C., delivered another of his serius of elocutionary thundpr storms at the Citadel Green yesterday. Unfortunately for himself, there was an exceedingly uncomplimentary attendance ot* only one or two hundred col ored men and boy.?'. His sweetness, there fore, was utterly '' wasted on tho desert air.': Mr. Ashley was hoarse, very hoarse that he conld not be heard ten U-ct from the plat form, but he compensated for the deficiency by pointing in the most vigorous and miscel laneous manner at " the flag," proclaiming, at the s;.me time, with as much vociferousness as "his pulmonary viscera would allow, that " without the flag and the party, the country would go to the devil 1" This was the sum and substance of his speech. He ran his hnod through the tonsorial hair oil with at) much enerby at> at any time within tbe last fifteen years, but he was like an empty bomb shell. Ashley is no longer immortal. They laid him to rest in Washington some time ago, and South Carolina negroes were per fectly satisfied on Monday night that it would be useless to resurrect him. So many better speeches are made every day in the week by intelligent men of their owu race than those of Impeacher Ashley, that he will depart hence like a shadow " and leave no trace be hiud."-Char. News. ASHLEY AMONG TH E GERMANS.- On Monday, after the speech-making nt tbe Club House, Ashley and Mackey, finding that the mountain (in the shape of white men) would not come to Mahomet, determined that Mahomet would go to the mountain. They accordingly made a de scent upoua party of our German citizens, who, in tho most private manner, were with their wives and " sweethearts'" enjoying the pleas ures of Terpsichore at a select ball in the r Turnverein Hall on King-street. Greatly astoi. ished at this rude invasion, nnd perhaps per plexed at the lack of courtesy which led a pariy of men to break unbidden into their I entertainment, one of the Germans inquired what they wanted. Ashley said he wanted to make a speech on the political issues of the day ; and intimated that he was vory fond of Germans, and dint h on Bologna sausages. One of thc managers of the ball intimated bark that the ambrosial impeacher had evi dently got into tho wrong hotel, and they "didn't want no sich." Mr. Ashley was fur ther informed that the Germans of Charles ton were white men, and not in the habit of being intruded upon in their private enter tainments by peregrinating politicians. The managers tren turned their backs upon the party and left them to their own reflections. On receiving thia very emphatic snub, it is s tate i that the illustrious M. C. looked as if he had been u bottled up" and wanted air, which he speedily found by putting himself vehemently down stairs. Mr. Ashley is truly unfortuna'e. A few months ago he loomed up like a lighthouse. The newspapers advertised him freo of charge ail over the country. Then thc Washington correspondents began to skin him alive, and didn't leave enough of his corporosily, politi cally, to make a respectable funeral. The impeaching process began, and he was left out in the cold. When the lovely Butler took his place, Ashley took to the stump. He turns up in South Carolina. The whites won't hear him ; the colored people only ap plaud when he makes faces, and his audi ences grow small by degrees aad beautifully less." Ile intrudes on a German ball to make a speech, and is tjld inferentially that although he may he the immortal Jeems Mar shall Ashley, a Virginian so-called, named af ter one of our big rivers, a very polite sort ol a member ot Congress and all that, they nev ertheless prefer to select their company, and in doing so invariably choose a white man.
