White southerners and black southerners are congregating with their race, not for the purpose of peace and discussion, but rather to riot. On three separate occasions - September 1st, 2nd, and 7th - Richmond was engulfed by the passion of its citizens. After weeks of closed meetings, many black residents have come together to riot in defense of their riots, however, the white southerner editors of The Daily Dispatch seem to think this gathering is finds its purpose in the "utter extermination of the whites, both young and old." The black community is not the only one rioting in defense of itself, as the white community finds itself in a similar situation. After an attempted kidnapping of a woman late at night, the white community has lashed out - search parties have come together to find the individual, while riots have ensued out of pure anger toward the attempted outrage.

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound This General Titus is one of the generals of whom we have had such a surfeit. He is from New Hampshire, and has been very busy here in Virginia with his speculations, which, under the manipulations and tricks of a vast number of the sutlers and camp-followers of the Federal army who have usurped high military titles, has become only another term for peculation. This General Titus has been also a great politician, and now makes his headquarters in Washington. The Warrenton Index brings us an account of a transaction of this general that is quite in keeping with the deeds of many of his confreres. He bought, among other farms, one from Mr. Wellington Gordon, situated in Loudoun. A part of the purchase money fell due, and was unpaid. He did not fulfill his appointments made from time to time; but Captain Garden, Mr. Gordon's agent, pressing the matter to a point, at last came another general one General W. G. M. Davis as as his agent. Captain Garden, desiring to wind up the game of deceit and trifling, garnisheed the bank, the express office, and General Davis himself, to get hold of any funds either might hold belonging to Titus. A package, purporting to contain $3,800, about the instalment due upon the farm, was found in the express office addressed to General H. B. Titus or W. G. M. Davis. This was opened in the presence of witnesses, and found to contain " only a number of slips of blank brown paper of the size and pattern of bank bills, with two one-dollar Treasury notes on the upper side, and two of the same denomination on the lower side." This package was designed for some trick as deceptive as the package itself. The putting up of such a package and sending it by express, labelled $3,800, was prima facie proof that the man who put it up was a cheat, and intended to play a trick of some sort exactly what it is hard to imagine. Yet, this person is a sample of a horde of which have been let loose upon the South, and which have for five years had the favor and support of Congress in their oppressions and robberies committed upon the southern people. They are not representative men of their own people, but the off-scouring of the North the strolling experts in rascality whose whole study it is to get other people's property without consideration. Even Congress, which so long listened to their cunning fabrications, has fixed the seal of dishonor upon the foreheads of some of the most distinguished amongst them. They have used, and are still using, the poor colored man as the instrument of their selfish plans; but retribution will wind them up in time.
