We hail opportunities of convening with the prisoners, witnesses, and otlur of Dada, who were aok arraigned in this examination, and from them we ha VO obtained tho following reliable and impartial explanation at this unfounded prooseation of tho koarst and incooent oitixena of the eounty of Dade. It seems that one Asa Boydston, living on tho lino of Alabama and Georgia, but within Alabama duiing the war, too cow- Ardly te volunteer as a soldier, frequented the mountain* and at oyery opportunity committed tlisfta, Hdftod defenseless wo men and helpless childrcu, and ravaged the homes of families of soldiers in the arq^, and *as g»iity of innumerable dep redatious not tolerated by any civilized government. After the war, being sev- basement of tbair^nowohnrch on Tiinrr* ^ral times detected in thieving and other misdemeanors, he soon forfeited the re- sneet of ovpry honest man in the vicinity. Baling this winter he Vary snddeutly left the eounty, but returned aboat two jreeks ago in company with one James Bkyles, who seemed to be employod by the Government for arresting parties uu fief* the Ku Kltfit bets of Congress, and under the proclamations of Bollock, to get the rewards offered. Arriving at Trenton, Dude county, Boydston pointed out Mr. R. Haney, who was immediately arrested and plaited under guard of a squad of United Stales soldiers.

Ilf any of the prisoners were compelled to pass tb frigid night without shelter anil without blankets around a smouldering camp fire, wkieh was bnt a poor protection in tho tempostnous winds that honied among !«.(*> mountainous regions. The party next proceeded toObmtta noogo, xvhara all were committed to pris on, except T. W. Sharrook and W. P. Sharrock, who nrcry lost aoen with tho TTniMl States Coii»mis:nonor. It is sup posed that,by enjoliug, throuts and prom ises, theso hrfTpflfsona were persuaded to tum Govefiimont ovidonce. They treated with clemency, and even with special kindness, whilo all tho other pris oners were allowod a bare pittance of fil thy food and wen confined in oells which barely admitted th« bodies ol six mou ly ing ou tbelr sides. Ono of the prisoners testified that, while lying down, it was impossible for one man to move without tho simultaneous movement of every iu mato of the room. While there, the offi cer, and commissioners used every device and all thier olo<itience to persuade ono of the younger sous of Colonel R. It. Tatum—a mau of extended influence —to turn Govenment evidence, doubtless hoping that a confession or treacherous and malicious testimony from such an esteemed and reliable source would con vict a host of innooont citizens. They urged that he ought not “iu tho bloom of his youth,” to accept certain impris onment, when tho opportunity waa pre sented to escape. Young Tatum, with indignation, replied that lm would suffer the horrors of ft life time imprisonment before ho would testify against his own neighbors and involve them in a crime, which, it ever perpetrated at all, was not only without their countenance, bnt without their knowledge, llis malicious temfteiM said they would make no moro efforts. " If tho younger Tatum would not yfeJd, it was useless to « pa*l to the older.” So th«r efforts in at direction were baffled; but they were more successful with tho two Sharrocks, who both taWltd .Oovernment evidence. Thoprisoncis were then brought to this place, and all, with tho exception of a few, were committed to prison. They all assort that they were wreuted without brine lakifiod of ihe reason or the cause The following neared prisoner, were then diachargnd: W. P. ShaRock, Thos. Sharrook, R Haney, W. L.

Nichols appeared and said they had been arrested and were unable te n«y for w hat purjHjse. There was no charge sgRiflbt them. Conley protested ignorance of the transaction, and these persons who had been arraigned for noth ing were permitted to depart without any apology or any explanation for this abuse of their time, honor, and liberty. No reparation for lest time and days of hun ger, privation and anxiety. This is heap ing msttit on injury, and Otoly becomes accountable when we consider that it was oil done at the instigation of a fanatical press whose policy and purpose is te op* pose and insult our people.

Sevier Powell belonged to what was termed the Homt Guard, whioh, during the war, robbed tho homes of helpless women. Asa Boydston, the secret agent employed to make these ar rests, is a reputed thief, and a warrant has been issued in the State of Alabama for liis urrest under charges of thieving and abusing liis family. Such are the witnesses—reputed thieves and robbers, and subsidised recreants. The bondsmen of W. P. H. and G. W. M. Tatum are It. H.

Governor Brown gave them reduced transportation to Chatta nooga. This is not the first time ho lias favored worthy individuals in similar distressing circumstances, for which he has their well deserved thanks.

The resolution to hold the next session of the Legislature at Milledgeville, was made u matter of personal explanation by Senator Mathews, who stated that ho sot out to state that he was in tho arms of Mary Ann Morpheoe, or ought to be, and in order that he be there very soon he wanted to adjourn immediately, but would cast an inuendi for the entertain' msnt of tho •Senate, till the bow of < ad journment arrived. He was strictly in favor of the eousfeUaiionalitj of the Con stitution, and if Constitutional, then he suggested that it was Constitutional for the keeper of the Capitol at Milledgeville to remain there while the Senators ran the machine in Atlanta, and for the rea sons mentioned is that The Bum had said nothing ubout the pestilence of fraud and corruption being in Atlauta, it was Con stitutional to go to Milledgeville to grati fy the keeper of the Capitol, but that he thought that many of the Senators ought to be seat to tha keeper of the Peniten tiary on Constitutional grounds. rienator Jones proposed to move the Capitol to Lickdcillct. Senator Nnnnafly wanted it to meet next time at Hardhead, Pike eounty. Passed, for ono and a half minutes, when it was resolved, on motion of Senator Bruton, that the next meeting be held nt Lee Smith’s. This went through, but a stinking Senator amended by offering, as the place of permanent meeting, the name of Pole Cat Spring. The whole thing stinking, the Senators began to smell had, and a proposition to take a nip was agreed to, on condition that all hands took “egg flip.” There was a proposition made to fur nish the 42d District with a Senator, and another District with a thousand copies of Fitch’s Radical Star. These people needing a puke, A was agreed tliat that paper be sent, and that Fitch be sent to Bullock as his fight bower; passed. During the discussion, Senator Peddy was, like O’Neal, bowed down in silent mortification. He could not recover from bis jwess-ing onslaught of a few days previous, and remained in a virtuous state of silence, till the motion to adjourn sine dit was announced and carried.
