da. lie writes from Jasper, H1amil.
ton County : "I went to a pond a mile
ind a hal from boine, and caught a
tine mess of fish. As I was leaving
for hown, I$heard something walking
on the leaves behind me ; I turned,
and saw a Large catanmount within
eoven feet of me, and before I could
fairly get on my feet (for I was sit..
ting down) he sprang upon the top of
my head and out a large gash in my
under lip with his toth, and scratch
ed my eyes with his claw, no that I
could not sec. I got my knife from
my pocket, and dropped it before I
could open it. I soon found he was
getting the best of the fight, and I
jumped into the pond. Ho then let
go of my lip, and caught me on the
head. I turned over on my face, and
lie lot go of nmy head and bit me on
the nicok. I put my head under wa
ter and ho let go of me. I held my
head undei water as long as I could
and live, expecting when I rose he
would attack me again, hut he was
gone. I washed my eyes and got one
of them so I could see, took a large
stick and and started for home with
out molestation. Mon started with
guns and dogs, andl killed him within
a qluarter of a miile of where we had
the fight. Thus Ilhad the great con
solation of seeing my enemy dead."

"Thol~se are big words of our Ercou

"If those who are opposed to the

upon themselves to prepare to "do

'Th1e Iate Interview Between
Horace Greely and time Edi
tor of this Paper.
Contradictory reports having been
spread in the community as to what
ocourred during the interview, upon
Friday last, the 1st of April, between
Mr. Horace Greely of the '/butse
and ourselves, we think it best, at the
risk of seeming egotistical, to reprint
an account of It as given by Mr. Groo.
ly himself, and published in the num
her of his paper just received. Mr.
Greely telegraphs, "I called at the
residence of Mr. Stuart of the Winne
boro NEws, as I passed on my way to
Aikon, having been informed, so soon
as I crossed the State line, that it
is quite probable that we will have
him with us, in a year's time, in the
oapacity of "Financial Agent of the
State of15outh Carslina in the City of
New York;" that is, if the Conserva
tive party carry the fall election. I
was somewhat disappointed in the
appearance of his residence, on Con

which he had evidently been over

paper one of those interesting edito.
rials which have lately attracted the
gaze of the politicians of the Union
towards the little 4tate of South
Carolina. My time being limited, I
immediately entered into con versa
tion as follows:
Horace Greely. I was informed,
sir, of the probability of your ap
pointment to a very important posi
tion in our eity next year, and thought
I would' just call in and give yen an
invitation to come and see mue, when
you come to New York, since I shall
take great pleasure in eontributing to
the financial prosperity of 8outh
Carolina. M'r. Stuart,(somewhat con
fusedly,) Thank you, Mr. Greely;
it is certainly kind In you to believe
beforehand in Ir.y success in obtain
ing the offle which I claim of my
party, as the reward of my services,
and should I ever come to New York,
I shall do myself the honor of calling
upon you at the earliest opportunity.
Horace Greely. You must not fail
to do so. Had we but a hundred
such men Rls- yourself in each .of the
Southern States, reconstruotio'n had
proved an easier and a less odious
process, foryou are right in attribut

It-was evident thatI-had now struck
the right key. The quiet school
master, so unpreposisssing in appear
ance, and whose manner ' hasi only a
sort of sober bincerity to commend it,
seemed to overlook entirely the om.
pliment I had paid him, 'thiough ab
sorbing irnerest in the thmoiie I.. had
duggested. ie rose and pact d th.e
room, as he talked. I had hardly sus
pected such fire and cnthusiasm as now
beamed from his face. His whole
manner was that of i man of deep
conviotions, and earnestly impressed
with the dignity and-itportance of his
subjeot. With humorous Sarcasm he
described the rush of the aecessionists,
with Governor Pickens in the van, to
the Convention of 1865. to ratify the
thirteenth amendment, and inert in
the constitution afterwards so 6o
temptuously rejected by Congress,
that "all political power (-peeially
that, saidhe, exerted in South Caro
lina in 1865) springs froth the free
consent of the people." He devoiib
ed Governor Orr in the Philade!phia
Convention, and made neoided fun of
Judge Wardlaw's pocket being picked
upon that memorable ccoat-ion,saying,
he had much better have stayed at

found in a comfortable position
between two polit ial contradictory ex.
tremes; and he tmay be' pa-ed as be.

the party that has office to give and
the party that is going to have
it. But Orr Is, at present, de
sorvedly thq mot popular a'fd lofiuen;
tial politician in Suuth Carolina." The
Negro Code came in for its share of
denunciation as so uneulted to the
times. "The Convention of 1868,"
said he, "perhaps showed more wook
ness than any political body of the
nineteenth century, by yielding the
question of colored suffrage, while it
was itill a natiunal .isuo ex:rgiely
distasteful to thousands of white
men at the North, and which had been
finally adopted, under the leadership
of Morton, of indiana, for whose great
speech he expressed admiration, as
the best moas of neutralising the
influence of the South in Federal af
fa'ri for a decade at least. And he
bitterly invoighed against the short
sightedness of the Democrats in de
siring to identify the white people of
the South with an unsuccessful corgani
zation which was carrying a load of
prejudice sufficient to ainik a navy,
proclaiming himself in favor, of tack
ing on to the tail of no national ptrty
as at present co::stituted, but of hav.
lag the South under the lead of the
Conservative republicans of Virginia,
whose sictory had, given them the
prestige of authority, dictate to the
Union a new NATIONAL CONSTI
TUTIONAL PARTY.
The time for miy departure to Al.
ken now approaching, I was obliged
to interrupt Mr. Stuart In an ergu
mont as to the policy of a conquered
aection with reference to the fears
jealousies and sua'pieions of the tri
umphant section. If. apologized for
forgetting himself and usurping so
much of the conversation, and prom
ising to call on 'me In New York,
shook me cordially by the hand and
bid me good-bye. As I was on my
way to the oars, 1 was -Informied by
Mr. Blown, of the hotel, that there is
some talk In Fairfield of noninating
Mr. Stuart for the next Congress,
where his moderate counsels, combin
ed vith his devotion to the South,
would doubtless make a favoratle lm,.

- Now, then, why not in politios, or
the art of government, conform to
this principle of all correct art 7 The
lower nature of ignorance, suspicion,
prejudice, passion, distorted educa
t'on, und even poritive corruption, has
to be couside-od and dealt with. So
much must -e yielded to it, as will
set the higher nature of love of coun

er counter to men's lower propensities,
but rather accommodate ourielves in
such a way to them, as to bring their
6iobler thoughtm and feelings into ex
orcise. He wio has the mind to un
derstand, and the strength of will to
practice the abov o principle of all art,
is born to rule, and is aure to rise to a
throne. We of the Etouth only need
such men now, to unite the Southern
vote of near seventy in Congi ess into
an independent phalanx, tacked on to
tho.tail of neither of the present na
tional parties, but calling for and
commanding A NEW NAtIONAL PAITy
ALTOGETHER, which will absorb 'he
better portion of both. And our bebt
way of getting what we need, both
the man and the party, is to yield this
much exactly to the su-picion and
prejudices of those who have conquer
ed us ; nutnely, upon principle, to
vote with and for the government of
their choice, with and for the ad minis
tration that they prefer, tor. tho next
ton years, and exercise independent
thought and action upon those meas
urea only (they are, however, very
numerous) on which there can be no
merely sectional issue.
The Forces ofWature.
We print the article from the Lau.
ronsville Herald, not for the sake of
controversy, but by the rule of fair
play to our readers, and for the pur
poses of instruction. It will be seen
that both tho Mobile Trtbunc and the
Liaurensvkid l1erald believe that the
forces of nature are altogether on the
side of ther-''ites of the South, and
that thefiY 1e itut tol wait qui'etly, to
repgin political 6ffie and influence.
Now so far,so true. We are decided
ly and thoroughly of that very opin
ion. Upon it, therefore, we entrench
ourselves, and from it now direct our
battery. "Friend, from thine own
mouth, willtI condemn thee."
1. The whites being intellectually
and numerically stronger, and being
continually reinforced by immigra
tion, will certainly predominate in
from ten to twenty years. W~hat pos
sible harm, then, can conme of arn of
fort to conciliate the w'eaker race ?
Why insist upon antagonism beyond
what certain incendiary offiee-holders
and oflice-seekers comnpel? And why
not meet therir eil'orts by holding out
to the blacks the right hand of amity
and compromiae Di,1 the stronger
party ever yet lose by compromise
with the wveaker ? If so, when and
where ? Point to the page of' history
that proves it. Indeed, the appeal
made by the Radical office-seeker to
the fears and prejudices of the blacks,
is just at this point eiffective. '4You,"
saysjhc, "are the weaker, and wvill be
cheated, if you compromise. Reject
all compromise. and trust to the Fed
eral bayonet, .and tu the bayonet
alone." But we reply :"that, my
colored friends, Is a ebort-sighted and
fatal policy. We are e stronger
now, and growing daily stronger.
You simply must trust us hereafter ;
and why niot-do so now 1 We propose
just laws fof- alt."
2. We object to the cry of a .white
man's party, that it is nof quietly and
calmly waiting on the future, with con
fiZdsee in the forces of nature. On the
contrary, it is irritating and exaspera
ting to the blacks. It is repellant
and unwise. It Is the reverse of
quietness and calmness, and the
quintesseneb of fretfulness, and die
content, and distrust of th'o future.
Its advocates admit its Folly and in.
practicability In this State, for the
present at least. Let them, therefore,
get out of our way. We will try to
work the political maoiutqo, since they
give it up. As our talltav'y friend, of
