Never before in tho history of a Chriatian and eiviliaed people have aueh Infamy and ruin, wide apraad and uni ctobI, been inflicted on a whole aeetion of the country, without diatinetiou between the guilty and the innocent. It ia well known that a large portion of the Southern people were oppoord to the aeeeaaion of the Statoa from the Federal Union, and did all they could do i for yeara to prevent the happening of ao dire a calamity to tba republic. They ha*e euflered the doatruetion of their properly, Ihe loaa of their hmaee, and the death of their aona and linahanda; and now, aa a reward for their llfe'a devotion to the Uuiou, they are doomed to negro aupretnacy and the barbaric rule of their former alnvce, atoeped in ignorance and vice. Virtue and innocence, refinement' wealth and intelligence ar* dlafranehieod and aul'Jeetod to the government of ignorauce> pauperiara and aolfleh cruelty. The future of the Southern States ia frightfully appalling. Experience, for the part two yeara, haa proved that the treedmon will not work, and that they expeet to live by the Iniunty of the tiovernmeut, or by depredation on the induvtry of othera! All over the country, etarvation threaten! them, aud they are stealing, robbing and murdering. The prisona and penitentiariea are tilled with them, till it has become impoaaiMe to provide for their eupport in priaon. Soon they will have tke government of the Statea in thoir hand*) Sclt-dofonco and self preservation wili force a war of race*?tlie most cruel, unnatural, and horrible war that evor desolated the face of the earth ! Yeu have welt said, in your letter of invitation, that we are " bone of your hone and flesh of your flesh," and entitled to a nation's sympathy In our distress. We are all, North and South, the descendants ol a common ancestry, the sons and grandsons ol Revolutionary sires, who achieved Auiericao indepen denes, aad established the Union and the Constitution " to ensure domestic tranquility and secure the blessings of liberty " to themselves and their poelerity. How little did those heroic, noble patriot# suppose that they were eeeurtng domestic tranquility and the blesainge of liberty to tlieir descendants by providing the meaas, within less than a century, of their descendants being disfranchised and placed under a government of negroes | If there is a eenee of Justice or a manly sentiment of honor left in the Northern heart, it must revolt at this horrible Iniquity. A Southern man led our armlee to victory and independence in the Revolutionary war; a Southern man drew the Declaration of In* dependence; a Southern men has the reputa* tion of being the father of our National Constitution. lie was a Southern man who gained the glorious victory, whose anniversary you are to celebrate on the tth of January, which you eay " confirmed our national lad* pondewoe and free Republican institutions iu a Union of law and liberty."

The Killing of Captain Culver Tha Corsicana (Texas) Observer gives Ihs following psrtlcnlars of tha killing ot Captain Culver, bureau Agent in Limestone County, and a eolJier; some orroneoos statements having gone abroad : An eye-wiine** accompanied Mr. 8tewart snd son a short distance from hie house to hoot a beef, Mr. Stewart carrying his rifle, and the boy a double-barreled gun, one barrel of which was a rifle. When Culver and the soldier came upon them, he asked U. ?i.. t. k..l .At ~-t.l . a... - ..... he (Culver) hftd assessed upon him. The reply wen he had Appealed to a higher official lo have the fine remitted, ae lie had already paid him one fine. Culvtr told him there wai no appeal from hie judgment*, and to give up hie gun. S< ear Art raid that he was on his own premise! for the purpose of killing a heef. and did uot like to give up hi* gun, hut he would go to the house and put up the gun in the rack over his door, and then, if he saw fit, he might take it. They all started toward the hou<e, and when Mr. Stewart wna in the act of reaching up to put his gun in the rack, he was shot l>y both Culv*r and the soldier. Mi s 8>ewart was in the rear of the house at the wash tub, and, hearing the shooting, made some noise, which attracted the attention of the caplain, and they started in the direction of the old lady, and shot her in the forehead, the ball striking a whale-bone in her hon. net, glanced and passed under the skin, from Ilie front ta the hack part of liar head, leaving her apparently dead for eome time. Rlpti'gH'a Tilllit tAn ?? twlitn*! iK* nartv - i?1 J who first reached the house. When he reached the gate, and mw what he aup posed was hla dead mother, and Ida father writhing in the ngoniea of death, and two armed aaanilanta brandishing their eix ahootera, he turned loose the rifle barrel of hie gun, sending ita contents through the body of Captain Culver. The soldier turned nnd fired two ahota, but the hoy, protected by the fence, was unharmed, and sent Ilia load of ahot into the soldier, who, l?adly crippled, beat a retreat; hut the enraged boy was not done with him. He seised the pistol of Captain Culver, and followed a abort dirtance and ahot him again, to make Ids work sure Not yet appessed, and seeing some aigns^if struggling life in Culver he aeized an axe and tent ita blade Into the akull. Toia ia not the worst feature of this nf. fair. Culver waa packed for leaving the country. He had with Idm aeveral changes of oiothing and a large sum of money ; and had summoned all the negroes of the surrounding country to meet him in Springfield. What for, we do not prefeod to say, hut there waa no necessity for it. Culver is the man who rode a negro on a rail for refusing to pay a voluntary subscription, shot a woman, old enougli for hia grandmother, at the wash tub, and her unoffend ing husband near sixty yaara old. Had he lived a few hours longer, moat likely the town of Hprlnglield would have been reduced to ashes, and many other outrages committed. ? ? -leae Josh Billixiis says: " Marrying for love may be a little risky; but it ia so honest that Ood ean't but smile at It."
