NEW Yo-ik, September 2.--A few
words by way of suggestion to tt:e
Southern white people. The North
ern Republi.oai S press is at present in
lis'treasing sp asm over the "rebel"
outrages on the frcdinien. Every
report from the South of a collision
betwo61 the rabes is tortured into an
1rggVeasion on the pa't of the whites
and magnified into at in assaere of the
blacks. These distortions o'f the
truth are uqed to influence the State
and C6ngressional 'eleetion that are
pending in bearly every Northern
State. ,The argument is that the I
Republbean party must be kept still
longer in power, in order to prevent c
a, renewal of te reb6liton. I have
no doubt in my own Mind that near
ly all the hostile iffrays in the South, I
a t1iis time, af'e instigated by
PRECONCERTE,D ARnANGEDIENT, a

Seing the agents. The negroes are
irtfully incited to violence, and,
when they suffer the oonsequencei of ti
Aheir o!ly, the fact is telegraphed to e
he oioo* of the Attorney-geierAl- at g
Washington, as a rebel outrage.- ti
What I want to say is that it will be "
,he best policy for the whites to
n'hiktain thelr pationce to the very P
ast e:tremity. If th3y will control 'l
hemselvos during the next two '
nonths-, it is not likely thAt th'eir
em er ill "e'r be tried again. A
emocratic victory throughout the h
orth in November will put an end a'
'rever to the trouble between the ri
aces. Wheh 'oilgreis becoie w

he white part of the South; there
6re, should be strained to help the Of

lect a majority of the next Congress. 9i
luch a .esult would be of more value F

A Faal S)rIng,
About one-lialf a ile over a
mnointain from Bartlott Springs thero
is what is called tho as Spring.
This is probably the greatest curi
osity of the mountains. The water
is ice-cold. but bubbling and foam
ing as if boiled, and the greatest won
der is the ine'itable destruetion of
life produced by Inhaling the gas.
No live thing is to be found within a
circuit of 100 yards near this spring.
The very brds, if they happen to fly
over it, drop dead. We experiment
ed with a liv'ard on its destructive
properties, by holding it a few feet
above the water ; it stretchcd dead
in;-two minttes. It *ill kill a hu.
tn'n being in twenty ninuter. We
stood over it about five minutes, when
a dull, heavy, aching sensation cropt:
over us, and our eyes began to swim.
The gas which esc'apes hero Is the
r'ukost kind of'carbonic acid, hence
'its Alre de'truction of life ; also
quenching of flame' instantaneonsly.
