In the Gazette of Saturday, ah : arti
cle published headed t "Disorders In
iiabama—U. 8. soldiers in the dis
charge or their Duties .Assaulted by
tjieSjieriff and Citisens-of Cherokee
4 Ih this a'rtiole we are etyled "guerril,
las” and are spoken of in suoh a man
ner as to lead to the tnferenae that we
are no better v than a band of outlaws,
and causing a prejudice against us and
’'which we ih no wise deserve.—Feeling
manifestly that suoh improssions
should be made; and in justice to our-
selves, we make this statement of the
affair; leaving the matter to' an impar-
tlal.oommunity to judge what blame,
under the ciroiirastunoes, should be at
tached to us.
On the 20th dny of July last. Ills
Excellency,, t,. E.'Parsons, Provisional
Governor of.Alabama;, issued, his pro-
olaraatlon restoring civil law in that
Slate; ns the law existed-on the lltli of
January 1881, (slavery excepted.) and
commanding that' all proceedings.lor
the punishment of offences against the
law be turned over to the proper civil
offiaers togetiier with the persons
charged &c. And further, that the
Sheriff should, keep in readiness a
suffioiont-foroe of deputies or assistant
foroo armed to enable him to arrest ail
offenders promptly, and holding tho
Sheriffstriotly accountable for negieot.
We refer to the 8th and 13th para
graphs of tho proclamation from whloh
the above is taken; In addition to'
this, the military commandant at
Jacksonville, -Alabama—the military
district in which we live, hud iasued
his order announcing that the olvil law
was in forco and that the military was
subordinate thereto, and that all par;
ties pretending to have any authority
to tnkp slook, should desist, and if
persisted in, to be carried to head
quarters.
A few days ago Federal foroos were
jn Cborokeo county, and were collect
ing stock in' various squads. The
Sheriff camo and summoned us from
our peaceful pursuits for the purpose
of arresting men “who had taken stook,
robbed houses and taken whiskhy ou*.
of a wagon." We had been some time
before informed that. Thomas Cooper
o r the county was the only person con
trolling government stook. In obedi
ence to the Sheriffs summons we did
assist in arresting some of the Federal
forces,—not knowing they word under
orders, and not having any intimation
before that tiny suoh soldiers were in
tho cdunty. So soon as tho taot was
ascertained that they were aoting under
the proper authority, we had nothing
morotodo. We yielded to them and
were brought bore and aro still ih
prison. We intendod no .resistance to
the United States forocs' engaged in,
tho dischnrgo of their duties. We
thought we were promoting pence and;
order and not disturbing the ssihn.
Wo are quiet, penceiibje and law abid-
inji men. What wrongs we may be
guilty of were dono under a wholly
misapprehension of facts. Wo ure no.
guerrillas—never have been—nor had
any nliiliution with them in any way
whatever. If we wore -what is .called
Confederate clothes, we did so beenttso'
we have not had the money or means
to buy other olothihg. It is true, the
most of us were in the rebel army, and
after trying four years unsuccessfully
agninst the Federnl, forocs—vhu? may
be sure a few of us would not be so -la
mented as to knowingly offer reiist-
ence now. We have done our best to
behave ourselves and bo loyal to.the
United States Government since the
close of the rebellion. The . .most of us
are of matured years and men of fami
lies. We regret the occurrences as
much as anybody oan do, andosfor
our part we oa'n truly and fortunately
sny wo neVer fired a gun or used n
weapons We stand read/ to: assume
all _ charges that may be preferred
against us. Wo cast no reflections upon
any one, Viut must say that' ii, seems a
little hard that all but two of us should
be made to work upon the streets be.
fot;e nny investigation or trfal should be
had in bur case.

He says:
"We found no diffiouly whatever‘in

"You will see a' good deal of non
sense originating In a Southern paper
about General Lee’s reasons for apply
ing for pardon. It Is nll stuff. Gen.
Lee's application for a pardon was
drawn off and submitted to his friends
In thiseiLy two months 'ago, before he
ieft for the country. It Is a very long
document, over eighteen pages of fools
cap. Gen. Lee made Ids application
forpaidon oh his own account, and
not on uocbunt'bf others, and. without
any reluetanbe—at least none expressed
tohis friends. Gen..Lee is not the
man to exouBe any-, act of lils by pro
tending that it is done for the benefit
of others. By the by, speaking'of him.
