DAILY OBSERTEK. JOHNSTONE jdiqSs Tlmrsday, l&n?VT$873. T WAR IN LOUISIANA. , . . The, M irrepressible conflict" has broken out with fresh horrors 4n Lou isiana. The fuUjdifpatphs which we publish in the telegraphic column show the extent of the "disturbances. The bloody affair ' is but another fruit of Radiralisroanpther dence of the evil;tebdey joepub lican principles and another and most terrible result of Radical teach ings. The people of Louisana have been treatetLin k shameful manner by the administration. A negro despotism has been foisted upon the white peo ple, and it is no wonder, ,that active hostilities are the result. This war of races, which forebodes the most terrible evils for Louisana, is the legitimate front of the wicked policy pursued by the Radicals. The whites and blocks are dispos ed, to dwell in peace together, but Radical politicians,. - to carry out their nefarious designs,, are forever stirring up strife between them. In Grant and Colfax parishes ii appears that two Republican leaders instigated-the negroes to -attack the ivhites. Conflicts like that in "Louisiana may be expected as long as negroes are up-held in power by the Federal government. We will have no peace in the land until the Anglo-Saxon' race is supreme again. RUTHERFORD VINDICATOR, The Rutherford Vindicator vr ill very soon be removed to New'tou, where it will be published by its worthy editor anjd proprietor, Major L. P. Erwin. This change of base will no doubt prove advantageous to the pa per, as the Newton people are rather more favorable to newspapers than our friends in Rutherford, Catawba county will be peculiarly blessed in the newspaper line. The Press and the Vindicator will no doubt prove powerful levers in the enlighten ment of the masses and develop ment of the country. The one will continue an'able vindicator of the Truth, and the other will press home to the minds of the people, the great principles, oXLiberty andJEtight. Personal Intelligence.

SMALL LOSS TO THE WHITES. Details of the Terrible Affair. New Orleans, April 1G. The re cent prevalence of civil disorders in Grant parish, La., growing out of po litical differences between the whites and blacks, culminated, at Colfax Sunday by a battle which continued about 2 hours, resulting in the defeat of the blacks, of whom 60 were kill ed and wounded. The whites lost but one killed and two wounded. A gentleman arriving on the steam er South Western from the Red River Country, states that on Sunday night a boat landed at a wood pile near Colfax, where excited negroes, armed to th-e teeth, requested the Captain of the boat to stop at Colfax and take some wounded white men to Alexandria, which is situated some 25 miles further down. On arrival at Colfax, there were found about 100 armed men on the bank. The passengers went ashore. On reaching the scene of the fighting there were -discovered many bodies of colored men, riddled with bullets, in a stone house near the landing, and about thirty . negro prisoners w ere huddled together, a strong guard surrounding the prisoners. Several white men were wounded. It seems that trouble has been brewing in Grant parish for the past two weeks. For three or four days previous to Sunday, theblacks being to numerous for. the whites, the latter were com pelled to seek refuge in the surroun ding county Meanwhile, it is stated, theblacks plundered the town, throw- ingupcrude!fortincations,and4boast- . - . ., ing that tney wouia anve ine wnues from the parish.

On arrival there, a flag of truce was sent to the blacks, asking them to surrender, and at the same time saying if they meant fighting, to take care of themselves and their women and children. The negroes refused to come to terms, and the whites charged, the negroes retreating and taking refuge in the Court House, from which they kept un a constant fire for some time. Fi- nallv a friendlv neerro was bribed to fire the Court House, w-hich was suc cessfully done, the negroes vainly attempting to extinguish the flames, They then displayed the white flag, in token of surrender. Two white men immediately ad- vanced, and on reaching the door of Forthe South Atlantic States, South the Court House they were shot westerlv winds. For the Gulf States down. The negroes then rushed out in a body, and the whites, terribly in furiated, fired into the mass as they came out. killing them wherever found. Finally ihe Sheriff got the men under control and order was re stored. I The people were so excited, they could hardlv cive an accurate ac- count. A number were Kiuea ana a : Ml wounded. ! The negroes had invented, several rude cannon from old cast iron numDS. These were loaded to the muzzle with slugs. The negroes, it is said, were insti gated by a white man named Cal houn, and a negro named Ward. Both of these men escaped from the town before the fight.

Dr. Hall says that when a person has got a nightmare he is in danger, and should be awakened at once, without any reference to the agency. In this way doctors, we think, do a deal of harm. A young man named Mephitus was lying on his back Sunday afternoon, singing to himself, and with his eyes closed in a sort of ecstasy over his ef forts, when his father rushed into the room and planted a kick in the ribs of the vocalist that sounded all over the house. The entire family were three hours bringing that young man back to consciousness, but the trou ble seems as nothing in view of the fact that he might have died had not his father come. in as he did.

A Hint to the Southern States. The Memphis Appeal, in an ble article on the astonishing rTcteupera tive energy shown by France since her Prussian war, makes it th oc casion to say plainby to the Southern. States, that in order to prosper they must secure immigration, build fac tories, and so frame domestic legisla tion as to make it to the interest of natives to stay at home, and at the same time tempt the thrifty and in dustrious from every clime to make their home in the South. There is a well-grounded belief, from late in dications exhibited, that the South intends profiting by this advice. Profitable Pedestelanism.
