Information was received' yesterday

was still cansing trouble there. The
complaint wvas lodged with Col. Maurice
Maloney who decid-d to take mesures
to put a stop to tie disorderly proceed
imgs.
It appears that Mr. M iddloton, whose
plantationi is on the ir, .n .county side,
has. been working the Ilhot plantation.
in Chatham county. He brought, over
hands from Bryan county to do his
work, which ]icensed the negroes in
the neighborhood, and these imported
freedmen have been threatened and
compelled to leave. Tihe arrost of
Ct hibert, the ringleader of the party,
last week, has produced no good results,
and the Bryan county negroes fear for
their lives.
The teachings of the black dama
gogue, Bradley, are producing their le.
gitimato results. Tihe Leagiue qunotes
Bradley as its authority, and refuses to
allow any negroz.s to work in the
neighborhood, save those who belong
there.
As the result of this trouble might be,
violence and bloodshed Captain Cooks
witlh a detachment. of so!dfers, left for
the Ogeclcee last evening, to put ;,
stop to the dilienity, and to let the
"Leagne" know that in assuming to
coitrol the labor it is abrogating unto
itself rights "which no white man is
bound to respect," and that these things
nust end. Arrests will be made if nee.

The Ibervillo South, of the 7th i nst.,informs
us of tho death, of Brig Gen. Walteor H1.
Stevens.' lHe was a native of Now York,
graduated at West, Point in 1849, and re.
mnaladd in the United States Army, attachu

I-fe hadl married a- daughter of the late
Valery Hlobert, of Iberville, in this Stato,
and espoused the caniso of his adeptedi
State. *During the w' he' was attacd to
Gen. Beaurogaird's commwand, as engineer'

ing from portions of that sectron on account
of. the disgust which they feel at. the hard
antd oppressivo governantI iposed on
them, and the general coadition of' things
throughout their rospective communities.
If matters are so wretchedly bad that they
cannot possibly live where they have hith
orto passed their lives, if the curse of abso
luto starvation is upon theim and their faini
lies, of course they are right. to wuake their
escape from an intolerable situation ; but
we do hope, for their own sake and thg
country's, that they will remain where they
are, If it is possible. Whatever of strength
and influence they possess is sorely needed
in the South, and the time may not be far
oil when it will be needed yet more sorely.
Let then, it' they call, stand to their critical
posts in the midst of all the evils that are
upon them and all the perils, that, threaten
them. We do not believe that there is as
yet a necessity for their suirrend ring up
their beautiful and glorious regioni to ne
groes and worse than negroes.
Dark signs undoubtedly IllI the Southern
air, but there is yet hope for that unhappy
seotion. Nay, there is almost a certainty
that time and perhaps a short time may
bring relief. Tile lato vast politioal revolu
tions hol out brilliant promises of a future
intinitel' better than tile present.. Let our
Southern friends await that future in the
vigorous anl brave dischargo of all their
daties. No maier what the ludiels of
tIho country may do or attempt, the Federal
Government in all its departments. is des.
iled to pa5s into the hands of tile Consor.
vatives, and. when that inevitablo destiny
shall be fulfilled, the evil work done by tle
Rtadical party itn the South will be undone
it. all hazards so far as it. can be done. Of
course no legislation, however wise and
energetic, will at. once avail to repair the
wide spread ritin and desolation, but every
ling will yet be placed upon a solid basis
of statesmanship, antid (hen prosperity. ni..
versal prosperity, will come in its own good
time. Nothing in the future is m->re certain
and more cheering than this.

Keyes, for'meily editor of the Circlesville
(Ohio) Democrat, died in the insane asylum
at Columbus on the 25th till. The Crises,
of the latter city, thus chronicles tle sad
event :
Mr. Keyes was the editor of an indepen

detended libeirty wilth fearless manhood.
For this lhe was dragged off' to prison andl

A day or two since, in one of the trains
for Boston. a quiet indhividual, sitting by the
stove iln one of the passenger cars, drew
forth a bottle and comentced having his
hands with the contents. The day was
very cold, and the neighborhood ot the
stove was crowvded. One old man watched
tihe bottleholder's operations with great In.
terest, and finally asked him what, kind of
stuff lhe was using. "-Glycerine," replied
the quiet man. "Glycerine !--tuhunder!I"
and the old moan rushed for the (leer.
Others caught up the word, and they all
rushed into the adjoining oars, leaving our
glyeerine friend to soothe his chapped hands.

A BOL' OUTrAGE.-SOeIC eight
freedmen, near Gadsden, on Friday
last, boldly took possession of a wag
on and four mules, and two mules,
with two bales of cotton, belonging to
Mr. Mosely, and took the property
forcibly away. Five of the freedmen
were arrested by the police, and a
warrant was issuod yesterday morning,
for the arrest of all the parties, by
Magistrate Johnson. The vigilance of
Mr. Radcliffe, Chief of Police, caused
the arrest of two others of the gang of
robbers, in this city, yesterday, and
the remaining one of the party will
probably be captured. This is one of
the boldest and most flagrant outrages
yet perpetrated in this District.

which a passage occurs informing the

the Atlanta Convention has sent word
to the negro laborers in his district to
"hold their places until the first of
January, when lie will give them
further orders."
Any comment on such an order is
unnec'ssary. This course, followed
to anv length of time, must and will
inevitably lead to a rupture.--Savan.
