Transcript

A copy of a secret circular lately sent out from the headquarters of the Radical State Executive Committee has fallen in our hands. A number of questions are propounded by it--the sixth of which is to this effect: "What do you need to carry your county?” To this question the reply was: "More guns and $600 in money." So they have been distributing arms: among the negroes ? These, to whom we now refer, have not received enough. They want more. Will the people of Alabama make a note of this? 'The negroes propose to carry the election with money and guns!! Seven hundred, armed with Springfield muskets, marched against Eutaw the other day. The Register was curious know where those muskets came from? It appears that they came from Mobile, and that C. E. MEYER sent them out.
