resistance to the execution of the laws and the
provisions of the Constitution of the United
States.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That, im
mediately upon the passage of this «ct, the
President of the United Btates shall cause his
proclamation to be issued, setting forth the
immediate aud unconditional emancipation of
all persons held as slaves in any of the afore
said States, under the laws thereof; aud also
ordering all officers to give protection to all
such emancipated slaves, and accept the ser
vices of all who ntay tender them in behalf of
the Government, if in the judgment of such
officers such services shall be useful or neces
sary to the prosecution of ibis war.
Such is the measure proposed by a United
States Seuator^'to suppress the slaveholders’
rebellion”—for that is the title of the bill.
Tiiis bill has not yet passed, though it was
favorably received—read the first and second
times, and ordered to be printed. But another
bill has pasted which virtually covers Ike
whole ground.
On Monday, the 22d July, the bill for the
confiscation of property of the people of the
South being under consideration, Mr. Trum
bull offered the following amendment:
And be it further enacted, That whenever
any person claiming to be entitled to the ser
vice or labor of any person under the laws of
any State, shall employ suoh person in aiding
or promoting any insurrection, or in resisting
the laws of the United States, or shall permit
him to be so employed, he shall forfeit all
right to such service or labor, and the person
whose labor or service is thus claimed shall be
thenceforth discharged therefrom, any law to
the contrary notwithstanding.
amendment was adopted, ayes 33,

Aud then the bill
Senate.
Now, nearly every inan in the 8outb who
owns a negro, has him employed in making
cotton or corn, which the master is subscribing
to the Confederate Produce Loan. This is aid
ing the Confederate Government—“promoting
insurrection, and resisting the laws of the
United States and, according to the provis
ions of Trumbull's amendment, all such ne
groes ure tree. This is, nodoubt, the construc
tion that was intended to be pdt upon it. To
accomplish their aims by indirection or trick,
instead of an open, hold policy, has always
been the objects of Yankees.
This is a war to abolish slavery. The main
tenance of the Union is desired only that the
abolition of alavery may be accomplished by
it. The fanatical North considers slavery in
the South in the way of its prosperity, and
wants to crush it out. lienee this war. To
maintain the Union is their pretenae, but to
abolish slavery is their intent.
The Preliminary Uxamiuatlou of John
and James Wilson, Charged with the
.Murder of Thomas Terry.
At the hour of ten o'cdock yesterday, a large
audience assembled at the City Hull, to witness
the examination of the Wilsons. It was a sol
emn spectacle. Anxious groups were standing
around d^cuNsing the various points in the cose
ns they understood them. A few persons had
the Confederacy rcudiug our account of the hor
rid affair, while all who could gather around,
were listening in almost breathless attention.—
All around the court room, each man was con
versing In a subdued tone with the one who sat
next him. The ofllecrs and attorneys were en
gaged in arranging preliminaries, dec.
Within the bar, were seated the two prisoner*.
The elder lmd a strap of cotton cloth tied around
his head, and his shirt on the lull shoulder was
bloody—supposed to he from the blow of thu
stirrup by Mr. Terry when the difficulty occur
red. They both had a wild look, an uneasy aud
uncomfortable motion and action ol their limbs
—were unshaven, untidily dressed and their hair
uncombed.
Justices Thomas and Smith presided.
Justice Thomas read to the prisoners the
charge. During the reading the elder Wilson
looked steadfastly at the magistrate, while the
younger hung down his head and closed Ills eyes.
When asked to plead to the charge, the elder
Wilson, with an excited shake of the head and
hurriedly crossing his legs, said *' not guilty. ”—
The younger o|>eued his eyes but made no re
sponse.
Mr. A. Kennedy testified.
V- Please statu ill the hearing of the Court all
you know, commencing first with the time,
place, Are.
A. On last Saturday evening about 5 o’clock,
Thomas Terry, coming Into town, rode past my
►hop, which Is on Decatur street, near a mile
lYom the center of the city, on the left hand
side of the street os you go out. I did not see
Mr. Terry os lie |tossed uiy window, but Mr.
Cowan, who was sitting by me saw him. Mr.
Terry looked back and saw Mr. Cowan, and
spoke to him. I then naked Mr. Terry to alight,
who refused, saying if he made many more 8to|w»
he would not get Into town that night.
I had beeu up town that morning aud got a
letter from luy son at Mauossas. I told him of
it, ond he seemed glad to hear from hliu and
stopped. In the act of his getting down, I no
ticed the shade of two men coming up. it proved
to be John and James Wilson. Mr. McDuffie
was standing In the window ond wns aboutjeav-
Ing—had hid us good evening. He walked on
with the Wilsons, going out from town, aud all
scctncd to stop about the corner of mjr lot. Mr.
James Wilson seemed to say something to Mr.
McDuffie, who then seemed to bid them good
evening, and went on. By this time Mr. Terry
had crossed the side-walk aud stepped up to my
•bop window.
Iiorse ami hallooed to part them. I ran out as
soon as possible. John Wilson was on Terry
beating him in the face with his fist with nil his
power. I laid hold on hitn and pulled him off.
lie (Wllsot) seemed to be very angry—tried to
get away from me, saying he wanted to kill Ter
ry. I pushed him off towards James, and said,
“Takeyour father and go ajpny with him.”—
James then took his father, who still was in a
rage, cavorting around to get loose. By the
time 1 got back to Terry he had got up on his
feet. I looked In his face and saw that be was
badly hurt. He tried to walk, and reeled. I as
sisted hi in to iny door step and seated him there
on. By this time Mr. Cowan hud come, and at
my suggestion went for a Doctor. While he was
gone, Mr. Terry tried to speak and could not
articulate. After some time he raised up off his
feet, and seemed to hear the old man Wilson,
who wns down at Mr. Nnce's mill, some 150
yards, and was still whooping, hallooing and
making threats. Hearing Wilson seemed to a-
rousc him. lie made an effort to take oil his
coat, saying “I can whip them yet.” I told him
to sit dowu and the doctor would soon eoine ;
that he was too much hurt to think of it. He
then put up his hand to his head, and discover
ing the blood on it, said to me, “ where docs all
this blood come from ?” I told him he was hurt.
He asked if lie wns much hurt. I said I Imped
not. He then bung dowu his load and said,
“Oh, me, they have been waylaying me some
time to kill me.” He tli«u asked me for a drink
of water. lie drank, and in n very short time
complained of feeling sick. I then placed him
in a chair in the shade, supposing the sunshiue
caused his sickness. In helping him to the chair
lie again appeared to be much distressed, and
said, “ I want to go home.” I told him he was
not able. By this time the Doctor came and
commenced clipping from the wound, the hair.
He opened a small placo that was cut on the
skin and was feeling round it, to see the extent
of ilia injuries. I stepped back to my work,
which waa pressing me, when the Doctor said
“ho is fainting,” and asked for camphor. In a
moment afterwards the Doctor said “ he is dy
ing.” I noticed that Mr. Terry had a very hard
spasm and seemed to me to be dying. I became
alarmed. I wns nsked to hold his head ami did
so. Mr. Terry said about then, that he wanted
to lie down. About that time young Austin
Wilson came up with his hands full of rocks,
making threats and desiring to get a chuuce at
Terry. Mr. Shipley told him to leave. The Doc
tor stepped up to young Wilson and struck him
—threw him down and conquered him, after
whic h he left. The Doctor then came hack and
we carried Terry into the house and laid him
down. He seemed to roll about and be distress
ed. The Doctor said that Dr. Brown had better
he sent for, which was done. I then went to
my supper. When I cninc back to him, the ex
amination had made it manifest that he could
not live. He died In my house about a quarter
past two o’clock that night.
Q. Of your own knowledge, do you know of
any previous threats of the Wilsoua against
Terry ? or of Terry against them ?
A. On Mr. Terry’s part, I never heard of
any previous quarrels, or threats, or difficulty;
but, some eight or ten days before the fray,
James and Austin Wilson came up to my win.
dow, ou their way to town, and askeJ if I had
seen Teiry pass I told them I had not. They
then told me & cousin of theirs had gone to the
war, and his wife was on Terry’s place, and
that Terry had, some time ago, whipped the
child of Walton Wilson (who had gone to the
war) very severely. They said they were go
ing to whip him for it. James Wilson then
said thero wa< also an old grudge—a difficulty
between him and Terry, about some school ac-
count, which Terry had threatened to sue hitn
ou, or imprison him for; that ho, at tbattime,
had went to Terry’s house, with a pistol, and
called him out; but the end of the pistol was
protruding, and was seen by Mr. Simmons, a
brother in law of Terry ; that Terry came out
with a wagon spoke in his band, and he quiet
ly left, seeiog the advantage they had of him,
and knowing the law was in Terry’s favor.—
He then said the whipping of the child bad
renewed theoM difficulty, in his mind, and he
was determined to watch out for him on the
road, till he found him, and have satisfaction,
and then went on to town. In the evening,
they came back, and stopped at my window
again. I asked if they had seen Mr. Terry—
They said they had not Mr. Austin Wilson
soon went up to his father in-law’s a short ills
tance off. James Wilson renewed hie threats
—that he intended to watch for Terry every
day, till he got to see him; that he believed
Terry was a better man thsn he wss, tod that
be would take the advantage of him ; that he
would approach Teriy in a good humor, ap
parently, and say, " How are you, Mr. Terry;’’
and said ho, “ Kennedy, the first thing you
kuow, I’ll have something to knock him down
with.” He then said that if he failed in that,
he would get behind a tree and way-lay him ;
that if he failed in that, he would go down to
his house—my impression is, that it should be
after night—and call him out, and would be
prepared for him ; and my understanding waa,
that he would shoot him. He was drinkingat
the time, and I did not pay special attention
to what he said. I had no idea of ita coming
to such rasulta; thought it was only the talk
of a drinking man, and did not pay as much
attention aa I would otharwiae. I never told
Mr. Terry anything about tbair threats.
Crete-Examined.

1 pulled the letter out of my drawer. When | Wilson, befors Terry went out to his mula.
Mr. Win H. C. Cowan sworn: I know but
tittle mere than what baa bsen stated. I bad
gone to Mr Kennedy’# thop to get my ahot-
pouch mended. .1 was sitting in tho shop tink
ering with it, when Terry rode by and asked
ine if I had turned shoemaker. I asked him
to s light, and no did Kenndey. When Terry
was at the Winddw, the Wlldons came up.
When 1 left Terry to go to my houae, be
walked out into theraiddleof tbestreet. When
I had gone some 00 or 70 yards, I heard a
crush, and perhaps an oath. 1 turned round
and saw Mr. Terry down, and John Wilson on
him beating him in tha faoe— it appeared to
mo, with bis left hand. Mr. Kennedy ran out,
and 1 heard him aay, 11 Part them.” I caught
and hitched his mule By this time, old man
Wilson was taken off, and Terry got up. 1
went for Dr. Bsach, but could not find biin.—
I then got Dr. Gilbert, aad esiue as quickly as
I could. After Mr. Terry wss letnoved into
Mr. Kennedy's porch, and laid dowD, Dr. Gil
bert asked me to go for Dr. Brown, which I
did.
When we were sitting Mr. Terry down on
the steps, he said, “The devils have been way
laying me.” I heard no other remarks made
by Terry. 1 was in the room when Mr. Terry
died, and it was about a quarter past two o’
clock.
I don’t think Mr. Terry wss in his proper
inind after he was struck; but be did talk,
and he knew me and Dr. Gilbert. He c>u!d
not speak distinctly. All he said was a kind
of muttering talk.

Lameutable Affair.
We learn that Capt. Charles H. Axon, of
South Carolina, mas killed last Tuesday even
ing. near Wilson. North Carolina, cn the Wil
minglou and Weldon ltailroad, by Arthur B.
Davis, of the second Georgia Regiment. The
main p irtict 1 ns of* he i ff.ir, as w* ’earo from
eye witnesses, Are as follows :
Capt. Axson, cn route for Kichmnud, was
bringing with him some watermelons aud fine
tropical dtuils, aa a present to distinguished
friends in Richmond. Davis, while intoxica
ted, cut open several of the melons and crush
ed others. He Afterwards approached the Cap
tain and offered as ao apology the remark that
he was drunk, to which the C(plain replied
that being drunk was no excuse for stealing.
During the day Davis again approached the
Captain and declared that he was sorry for
what be bad done while intoxicated and was
willing to make an apology for it. The Cap
tain replied that he was satisfied, shook his
hand aud joined him in a drink. They ap
peared afterwards to be frieud-y for some
hours In the afternoon, Divis being sgaiu
nnder the influence of liquor, w it making a
rather careless exhibition of side-arms, when
the Captain, in a good humor, and apparent
ly remonstrating, held him for a moment.—
Being released, Davis withdrew for a moment
to another car, but soon returned, with a pistol
in band, demanding to know where was the
man who had imposed on him. Captain A.
supposing at once that be was the persou al
luded to, stepped forward and was shot iu the
breast by Davis, when very near him. Cap
tain A. died instantly. Davis was arrested.
Captain Axson was the commander of Com
pany “ M,’" First Regiment South Carolina
Volunteers, which returned home a few weeks
since. 11s was returning with bis Company
again to enter the service. He was a true
Southern man and a gallant officer. His com-
panygwera warmly devoted to bim, and are
much affected by his untimely death. — Rich

Tragic Affair—Sequel to (he Killing,of
Capt. Axson of South Carolina.
The Dispatch contained yaaterday an ac
count of the shooting of Capt. Charles H. Ax
son, of Company “M,” 1st Regiment South
Carolina Volunteers, on Tuesday evening,
near Wilson, N. C , on the Wilmington and
Weldon Railroad, by Arthur B. Davis, of the
Second Georgia Regiment, then en route for
this city. The perpetrator of the act was put
under guatd for conveyance to this city and
trial by martial law.
The circumstances attending the death of
Capt. Axson, excited a feeling of bitter indig-
naiion agaiust Davis, though no attempt at
retaliation was indulged in prior to the arriv.
al of the Petersburg oars on Wednesday ev
ening. When they reached the depot in this
oily, four South Carolina volunteers approach
ed the car in which the prisoner waa confined
under guard, and expressed an intention of
•booting him. Finding thorn determined, the
superintendent of tb# rood (Tbos. II. Wynn,
Esq.,) ordered the car containing the prison
er and guard (two men armed with muskets)
to be backed to the Manchester side of the
river. Tbia done, and the four who had made
the demonstration, beingtold that Davis would
be earned aoross the river to the camp near
the reservoir, left in the latter direction. It
appears, however, that there were others pre
sent bent on (he same errand .of vengeance.
The bridge guard says five or six soldiers
passed him and would not barepulsed when he
ordered them return. The result of sending
Davis across the bridge, in company with two
men as guard, ignorant of their duty, is found
in the following narrative furnished by a mem
ber of the regiment to which he was attach
ed. Our informant saya :
Davis, upon arriving io Richmond, was left
by Major Butts in care of a guard of the TeU
fair Volunteers, Capt. Smith. He ordered the
car to be backed across the river, and pro
ceeded to the camp to report to Col Semaiee.
Very shortly afiarwarde a parly of men, sup
posed to belong to Captain Axson's compauy,
came and asked him from the guard, promis
ing, on the faith of gentlemen, that he should
be delivered to tbe proper authorities. Assur
ed by them, he followed them On the road
they attempted to borrow a rope. When they
got to a ravine they baited, and told him they
wera going to hang bim. Ho protested against
it, and said that they had pledged their faith
to him. One stepped in front of him, laying,
faith, be d—d ; I am going to shoot you,”
and upon that shot bim. Davie then turned
to escape ; they rushed upon him, and out at
with [Bowl* knives, inflicting eeviral
wounds. Davit fell, partially Inienaiblo.—
Again, whila on (ho ground, thoy inflicted a
' wound with a knife in the neck, and one in !
J tho hand. Supposing bim dead, they turned !
Io leave, when one of them asked if they had
bettor not eand for a dootor. «•> was answer .
ad by ona who eaid “ No ; if he ie not dead: !■-
let 1 *finish him; and approaching him, fired mp
at him within a few feet. Tha ball did not
t*ka effect.
• tile now lies critically ill at tbe residence of
Dr. Luckeit, of Manobeeter. Tha ball, which
may prova fatal, passed between the first rib
and clavicale. and glancing downwards, im
bedded itself in deep tissue of the back uoder
the shoulder blade, from whence it was re
moved yaaterday morning. The knife wounds,;
though very bad, are not themselves fatal.
Three more men returned after the affair,
and inquired if he was dead, aud on being
told do, but mortally wounded, laughed and
went off.
Before being removed to Dr. Luckett's house
Divis, supposing himself dying, asked per
mission to make a declaration before tu$ pro
per authorities. He wss taken to the Town
Hall, and bit evidence stands recorded by a
magistrate.
The circumstances of the shooting and stab
bing are gathered from Davis’ statement —

The Late Homicide Followed by au At
tempt to Mvrder I
Yesterday we learned tbatjoung Davis,who
shot Capt. Axson on tbe Wilmington cats on
Tuesday evening, was taken by a mob from a
car on the south side .of the river, opposite
the city, and after being conveyed some half
a mile or so, was shot and stabbed several
times. Though not killed ootrigbi, it is learn
ed that his wounds are mortal. 8ome sccouul
of this shooking affair will be fouud in our lo
cal column, and it is also referred to in a let
ter, which we publish below.
We published yesterday an acoount of the
killing of Capt. Axson, which was furnished
by members of his company. We regret that
in it the paper wss led iuto the statement of
eiroumetancee that certainly reflect upon Mr
Davis, and are disputed. We are satisfied
that he was a gentleman most respectably
connected, and held in warm esteem amongst
bis felloW'.cititeos. We give plaoe very read
ily to the following communication in bis vin
dication ;
Richmond, Va., August 1st, 18iil,
Ediort Dispatch: Sirs, In your issue of this
morning, under the head ng of “Lamentable
Affair,” 1 find an account of the shoot
in; of Captain Axson, 1st South Caro
lina Volunteers, by Mr. Davis, of the 2d
Georgia Volunteers. So far as the fact of Cap
tain Axson having been shot by Mr. Davis,
you are coriect, aud in so far only. From
disinterested eye-witnesses (witnesses who do
not belong to cither Siaie, South Carolina or
Georgia,) l leurn that both parlies were ine-
braied ; that Mr. Davis did cut one, or per
haps more, melons of CaptAin Axson’s; when
for so doing Mr. Davis apologized, 6ta'ing that
he had supposed they were for sale, (as fruit
was thus expot-ed all along the line,) and (hat
he expected to pay for them on tbe appear-
auce of the owner ;£thal he was sorry lor tbe
mistake ; that the excuse satisfied Captain A ,
when both drank together, more than once —
A dispute afterwards arose, dtiriug which
Coptsin Axson held Mr. Davis to the floor,
choking him. On being released Mr. Davis
left the car, and procuring his B : de Arms re
lumed to the car and took his seat, remark
ing that he would not suffer himself to be
thus imposed on again ; that on Captain Ax
son’s making a rush on him, Mr. Davis shot
him. Your informant neglected to slate to
you other facts : that Major Butt, of the Sc**
cornl Georgia Regiment immediately arrested
Mr.D , disarmed him and conveyed bim to this
city ; that he left bim in one of the cars, uo
der a corporal’s guard, and went to bunt the
proper authorities, to whom he intended to
surrender him ; that during iiis absence the
guard was set upon by a possee of armed men,
(supposed to belong to Capt Axson’s compa
ny ;) that beiug no longer able to hold him
the guard surrendered him, on theposseeor
mob promising to only convey bim to the pro -
per authorities ; that (hat armed mob took
Mr. Davis a half mile out of towu, and there
brutally murdered him ; shooting bim, and
on his falling, one of the party ran up and
stabbed bim Mr. Davis was totally unarm
ed at the time, Major Butt having taken
his arms from him. Had he had them about
bim, uo such a cowardly assassination would
have been attempted; for men who could
thus act, would have lacked the courage to
have attacked him openly, when armed. Mr.
Davis is well knowu iu Georgia ; his previous
character has been unimpeachable. His con
duct at home And abroad has been that of the
true gentleman. The blood of Georgia’s Gov
ernors flow not in other veius, and the 2d
Georgia Regiment had hoped that the press of
Richmond would have waited until a judicial
investigation had thrown a light on tbe affair.
I do uot know why the disposition of t he fruit
being brought by Capt. A. was mentioned.—
The piece says it was for distinguished frieuds
in Richmond. If, by its mention, it was, in
tended to leave the impression of social ine
quality on tbe part of Mr. D., it should have
been left out; for Mr. D., socially, was any
one’s equal. He occupied in bis native State a
high social position, and deservedly. He was
connected with (and never disgraced his con
nection,) the most honorable families in Geor
gia, being a grandson of ex Gov. Schley. So
much for "distinguished friends ” aud its re
Terence. Respectfully,
