The State Convention.
It will be seen in another part of this paper
that the Chairman of the State Executive
Committee, announces Davis’ Hall as the place,
and 10 o’clock this morning as the hour at which
the delegates from the several counties will con
vene. lie also requests that the Chairman of
each Delegation will prepare and have ready a
list of Delegates, to facilitate an organization of
that body.

Says a St Louis dispatch dated the 18th inst.:
“ Generals Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, and Dent,
left Leavenworth this morning for Denver, via
the Kansas Pacific Railway.”
In the Union.
At 12 M. on yesterday, while sitting in our
sanctum, we were painfully reminded by the dull
sound of a “six-pounder” fired at intervals near
to the new capitol, that Georgia had passed out
of the keeping of the Military and into the keep
ing, for the nonce, of the Radical Party. It was
a painful reminder indeed, that salute in honor
of the inauguration of Governor Bullock. What
Georgia was, has been written. What she
now is, as repieseuted by her rulers—rulers
lorced upon her people by Federal bayonets—we
shall not dwell uuon. But what she will he
again, it needs no prophet, uor the son of a
prophet, to loretell. The people will redeem her
from the bondage of radical rule. They will
wipe out the disgrace inflicted upon her by fraud
and by force. When next, if indeed we shall
have to wait that long for the day of rescue, a
Governor shall be inaugurated,it will be one of the
white mau’s choice, fairly elected and duly qual
ified ; one representing the intelligence, the vir
tue, the ui iuliood, and t!|e property of the State.
Until then, let our people be patient, trust in
God, and work for the deliverance that will surely
come! We are now in the Union. In it, not as
freemen asserting the rights of the State, but
whipped into it, aa overpowered people, hang
ing our heads in shame. Be it so ! Those who
have brought the State to this pass, are alone re
sponsible for it.
Tlie Tlilrd Party ffleu 1'or Seymour and
Blair.
The members of the late “Third party” in thi9
locality express themselves as highly delighted
at the nomination of Mr. Seymour and promise
the ticket an earnest support. We certainly are
gratified that these respectable gentlemen can
give in their adhesion to the party. We wel
come them most cordially to our ranks, and are
prepared to kill the “fatted calf and make
merry” over their return. We were satisfied
that the larger number of them could not go
with the Radical party in its crusade against the
Constitution. During the canvass we will no
doubt hear from many of them on the stump.—
Judge Kinkead, Hon. J. F. Bell, Hon. Aaron
Harding, Col. Jacob, and a host of others will
rally the masses and their eloquent appeals will
tell in a largely increased Democratic majority
iu our grand old Commonwealth.—Danville Ad
vocate.
The gentlemen above alluded to, says the Lou
isville Courier, “ are all men of character and
talents. As they gave way to a blind jealousy
and fought the Democratic organization of Ken
tucky upon a personal platform and at a terrible
disadvantage, their failure was no true measure
of the influence they are capable of wielding
when standing squarely upon the principles to
which we know they are faithful. As much of
the present prejudice in the North against Ken
tucky Democracy is due to their hostility as
Third party men, we would suggest that they
are the very persons to remove it. The eminent
orators of the late Third party who are now tor
Seymour and Blair would be strong enough in
themselves to meet and overmatch the Radical
champions of any one State in the North. The
Democracy of this State would proudly accredit
them as our representatives on such a mission,
and cheerfully recognize their services when
they return. On the other side of the river, our
friends will be sorely pressed, and will need all
the help we can send them. We cannot send
them better than Bramlette, Jacob, Harding,
Bell, “ of the silver tongue,” Kinkead, and oth
ers like them. There is no contest in Kentucky,
and to have such a force idling in reserve at this
time is a sad waste of noWe material.
. The Columbus Prisoners.
The following order from Headquarters was
handed on yesterday by Geo. Sibley, the Presi
dent of the Court to try the “ Columbus Prison
ers,” to Gen. Dunn, the Judge Advocate:
Headquarters Third Military District, t
Department of Gkorgi \, Alabama, and Florida, n-
attanta, Ga., July 81,1S»S. j
Brevet Brig. Gen. C. C. Sibley, U. 8. A., Presi
dent Mil it ary Commission :
General—In view of the action of the Legis
lature to-day, aud the probable immediate ad
mission of tbe State ot Georgia, and consequent
cessation of military authority, the Commanding
General directs that the Commission, ot which
you are President, suspend all further proceed
ings iu the trial ot the prisoners charged with
the murder of Aehbnrn. Tbe prisoners, how
ever, will be retained in custody until further
orders.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
R. C. Drum, A. A. G.
This, we presume, closes the military trial of
tbe persons, falsely, as we religiously believe,
charged with the murder of Ashburn.
The New York Evening Post contains an arti
cle entitled “ Out-of-door Religion in Chicago.”
This is the first intimation we have seen that
there is any religion in Chicago either out of
doors or within.
A clergyman observing a poor man by the
road breaking stones, and kneeling to get at his
work better, made the remark: “Ah, John! I
wish 1 could break the stony hearts of my
hearers as easily as yon are breaking those
stones.” “Perhaps, master, you do not work on
your knees,” was the reply.

eral congressional districts; will constitute the

A Fierce Note.
Knoxville, Tenn., July 15th, 1868.
In the Whig of to-day I notice that a para
graph of the article written by myself in regard
to the murder of Col. Ashby is copied, as a text
from which the editor (I suppose) of that paper
eaters upon a wholesale personal abase of my
self and combination of ties. I do not propose
answering anything that can be said through
the columns ot that paper, as it is well known
in Knoxville lor Brownlow to slander a man is
the best recommendation that can be given to
the respectable portion of tbe community. Be
sides, what is the use in my telling the people of
Knoxville that John Brownlow lies, when even
bis friends will admit that he never utters any
thing else! Or that he is a slanderer, when his
birth itself was a base slander upon human na
ture ! Or that he is infamoos, when infamy
is indelibly stamped upon every feature of his
face as well as bis heart! Or that he is a
scoundrel, when every act of his life attests
it. Who, but a scoundrel and a coward ot
the most atrocious kind, would creep up behind
a fellow-student, whom he had not the cour
age to face, and murder him ? Or who else
would willfully murder a prisoner, or speak of a
man, when dead, whom he dared not mention
while alive, as he does Col. Ashby? But it is
useless to undertake to mention the numerous
acts by which he has declared to the world his
infamy, his blackness of heart, and the utter
want of brains. I shall therefore drop him, as
he is only recognised as a stench in the nostrils
of decent people any way, and like other skunks,
looks to his filth to protect him from the hands
of gentlemen. I will say here, that I shall not
notice any other article that may appear in the
Whig, as I have a more respectable employment
than replying to snch an author. Anything fur
ther that he may wish me to hear must be said
verbally, or through a friend.
' Thos. R. Terry.
We learn, privately, that this card produced
quite a local excitement in Knoxville on tbe day
of its appearance, but quiet reigned in Warsaw
when Col. John Brownlow announced, in the
afternoon that he was not on the war path.—

The Williamson Tragedy—Tbe Sequel to
tbe Rape of Miss Ezell.
On Friday we announced the shocking out
rage of rape upon the person ot Miss Ezell, ot
Williamson county, by a negro by the name of
William Gaston, alias Wiuiam Guthrie, alias
Blank, with tbe horrible circumstance attending
tbe crime. On Sunday we stated that the black
demon had been captured, and subsequently
taken from the jail, at Franklin, and carried
four miles from tbe town and shot. This act
was approved by every person in tbe country
and elsewhere, who read the account, who re
spected virtue aud innocence.
But a few mean whites instigated the negroes
to avenge the death of one of their race, who
had put himself out of the pale ot law by the
most hideous crime known to civilization, and
characteristic only of the savage. Accordingly,
a company was raised to waylay the road for
the purpose of wreaking vengeance on those
supposed to be concerned in thft death of the
criminal. On Saturday, the brother of the out
raged girl was in Franklin, and leaving late in
the afternoon, with five or six others living in
the neighborhood, proceeding quietly to their
homes, were ambushed on the road by a party of
armed negroes and whites, numbering from fifty
to seventy-five, and fired upon. Young Ezell
was mortally wounded, aud died on Sunday
evening. Two others of the party were also
wounded—one slightly, in the foot or leg, and
another, it is stated, severely, and it is feared,
mortally. The hour was nearly dark, but light
enough remained to discover among tbe am
bushing party a sprinkle of incendiary whites,
who are known as the ringleaders of the worst
negroes, and avail themselves of every occasion
to foment strife and create enmity and violence
between the races, who would be otherwise har
monious.
These facts show that there is au element in
this State who are determined, if possible, to
first incite the negro to lawlessness and crime ot
the most hideous character, and then to uphold
aud sustain them in it; that the innocence and
virtue of the white woman may be violently as
sailed and outraged by tbe most evil disposed of
negroes, and when justice overtakes the fiends,
their blood is to be avenged by armed mobs
ambushing tbe high roads and murdering the
white men of the neighborhood. This is bring
ing matters to a fearful crisis, and throws upon
the public the question, whether they will per
mit society to iapse into this barbarous condi
tion, or save it by ail the means which nature
has bestowed lor self protection. We confess
that we cannot reason upon such a theme. The
decree of Heaven written in the hearts of most
men is, death to the destroyer of female purity.
Where communities are involved, the law is still
binding, and we say to the fathers, and sons,
and brothers of Williamson, protect and defend
your wives, and mothers, aud daughters at all
hazards,^and to the last extremity ! The white
people of Tennessee will sustain you. Heaven
will smile on you. Do nothing precipitately ;
stand on the defensive; but when a crime like
that of last Thursday is committed, let not the
sun set upon your wrath, but let it be satisfied at
once. Be sure that none but the guilty suffer,
and all will be well.
FEELING IN THIS CITY AND RUMORS FROM
FRANKLIN YESTERDAY.
Comparatively few of our citizens knew of the
murder of young Ezell till the morning train
arrived, when the facts were rapidly communi
cated from mouth to mouth. They created a
profound sensation, aDd the universal sentiment
was, that the mnrder of the brother was no less
atrocious than the defilement of the sister. By
noon or a little after, it was rumored that a
dreadful riot was raging in the town of Frank
lin between tbe whites and blacks. Notwith
standing, these could be traced to no reliable
source, the excitement increased, and the univer
sal inquiry was, what news from Franklin ? A
telegram from Franklin reported all quiet at 4
p. m., but no “extras” being issued, tbe inquiry
was still on every lip.
Tbe interest was not abated by the arrival, at
intervals, ot sweating and dust-covered negroes,
who related that a fearful war was going on at
Franklin, and they were forlorn fugitives, barely
iw-aping with their lives. One ot these in onr
hearing said there were a hundred thousand
Ku-Klux at Franklin, and he “ know’d more’n
half on ’em.” His eyes shone like the full
moon, and his teeth were like marble tomb
stones, Another said he left Franklin an hoar
and a half ago, and “ run’d all de way.” Still
another said he was shot a hundred times, and
lilted his dangling rags to prove how the balls
had riddled him. A few straggling whites, the
self-convicted rascals who were trying to escape
the tortures of a rudimentary conscience, came,
without pursuit, from the bloody scene—oue or
two of them known to have been behind the
rock fence when Ezell was killed. They were
all inquiring for tbe Press and limes, and the
over-anxious may find ail they had to say in
that sheet.
After the arrival of the 5.46 p m. train, pas
sengers reported that great excitement prevailed
in Franklin on Sunday after the murder of Ezell
was known. That negroes were arriving and
sending runners into the country for reinforce
ments. That the citizens ot Franklin felt the
utmost indignation, and were determined to de
fend themselves. That in the afternoon ot yes
terday a body of armed negroes appeared on
this side ot Harpeth river, near the railroad
bridge, and that soon after a party of whites
from the town came to the opposite side, both
armed. That after remaining for some time, the
4
negroes proposed an exchange [ot hostages,
twenty each—for what purpose was not re
ported—but that no exchange was made. That
.negroes were flocking from all quarters to the
scene of strife. That the people of Franklin
weqp receiving reinforcements from surrounding
counties. That the telegraph wires had been
cut. That United States soldiers were leaving
Nashville by special trains. That everybody
and everything was war. This all came by 7i
o’clock, with an infinity of variations and addi
tions to the story, which may be found at least
in one of our contemporaries in full this morn
ing.
THE TRUTH.
At half past 8 p. m., we received the follow
ing special telegram:
“Franklin, July 20.— Union and Dispatch:
Ezell, the brother ot the girl who was ravished,
was murdered on bis way home from this place
on Saturday night. No fighting since then. All
is quiet now.”
This dissipates the bulk of the reports of the
day. But we place credence in the report that
affairs are still threatening, and believe that we
may hear to-day that all has not been quiet on
the Harpeth. We base this belief upon the fact
that the vile instigators of this black mob do
not intend there shall be peace in the State, and
that this affair is put up to fortify the Legislature,
soon to meet, in tightening the screws upon an
oppressed people.

Atlanta, Ga., July 22, 1868.
General Orders, No. 103.
Whereas, Official information has been re
ceived at these Headquarters from the Governor
elect of the State of Georgia, that the Legisla
ture of said State, elected under the provisions
ot General Orders No. 39 and 40, current series,
from these Headquarters, has assembled and
complied with the requisitions of the act of Con
gress, which became a law June 25, 1868, enti
tled an act to admit the States of North Caroli
na, South Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, Ala
bama, and Florida, to representation in Congress;
aud whereas said act states that on compliance
with the conditions therein set forth by any State,
the officers of said State, duly elected and quali
fied under the Constitution thereof, shall be in
augurated without delay; it is therefore or
dered,
I. That all civil officers, holding office in the
State, whether by military appointment or by
failure to have successors qualified, shall prompt
ly yield their office and turn over to their duly
elected and qualified successors, all public prop
erty, archives, books, records, &c., belonging to
the same.
II. Whenever the military commander ot the
sub-District ot Georgia, is officially notified of
the inauguration of the State government elect,
military authority under the acts of Congress,
known as the Reconstruction Laws, will be at
an end in said State ; and it is made the duty of
the sub-District commander to transfer every
thing appertaining to the government of said
State to the proper civil officers, and to abstain
in future, upon any pretext whatever, from any
interference with or control over the civil author
ities of the State, or the persons and property of
the citizens thereof.
III. On the inauguration of the civil govern
ment, all prisoners held in custody or by bonds
tor offenses against the civil law, will be turned
over to the proper civil authority. In the mean
time wrils of habeas corpus from United States
Courts will be respectfully obeyed and the de
cisions conformed to. Writs from State courts
will have respectful returns made, stating pri
soners are held by authority ot the United States,
and can only be released by writs issued by the
United States Courts.

Hard on Snyder.—As Ben Butler was walk
ing up Seventh street the other morning, he
passed a shop where a lot ot second-hand house
hold furniture was being sold at auction. He is
an acquisitive man, and, like Mrs. Toodles, has
an eye for a goad uargain, so he stopped before
the entrance. Just as he crossed the door-sill
the crier held up a bundle and called out; “Now
we come to these fine silver spoons. Splendid
article. Good as new. Who bids ? Who bids ? ”
The crier rattled on thus for a minute withont
getting an answer, when, being entirely uncon
8Cious of so distinguished a presence, he ob
served, fretlully, “ Well, you’re a mighty keerlul
crowd. You must think these is some of the
spoons Butler stole at New Orleans.” Just here
the General was recognized, and, amid a shout
ot merriment,'beat a hasty and somewhat
skulking retreat. He ought to be very circum
spect about auctions. To men in his situation,
they sometimes raise as many apparitions as
church-yards. There is as much terrifying,
ghostly material in a brace of silver spoons as
in a death’s head, and a great deal more cause
for serious alarm to men like him.— Washington
