The following is dipt from the Knox
ville Tennessee Commercial, and we saw
the same in the Philadelphia News of
June 23rd:
“We have just been shown a private
letter from Floyd county,, Georgia, to
one of our citizens, in which one of the
most dastardly crimes is made known
we ever chronicled. Three ladies were
returning home from a visit to a neigh
bor, when a negro came upon them in
a secluded out-of-the-way place, and
attempted to detain them all. Two of
them succeeded in.getting away from
him, the other one he look into the
woods and tied her and kept her there
for two days without food., Her friends
found her at the end of that time. The
negro was caught, and the lady., was
asked what punishment she desired to
have inflicted on this demon. She re
plied she wanted his arm^ cat off iand
then wished him skinned alive. The
sentence was executed. The negro
lived about ten minutes after the oper
ation.”
We publish the above for the pur
pose of calling the attention of our
cotemporaries to the -fact that the
whole statement “is an unmitigated
.falsehpod, no such occurrence having
Transpired in this county, nor as .we
believe in any other county of upper
Georgia. Either the above exact ac
count or one essentially the same has
been located first in Gordon, next in
Polk, then in Floyd and lastly in Cobb
county. The alleged brutality certain
ly never' occured in any of the three
first named counties, and we have i^o
idea that it did in the last. Will the
papers that have published the false
hood make the correction that justico
may be done our community.

True as Gospel.—The Charlottesville
Chronicle thus gets off its disgust at
the unanimity with which people ex
pects its editor to be all things to all
men:
Praise—universal praise—an Ameri
can editor is expected to praise every
sumerset that is turned in a circus, and
every speech that is made in a temper
ance meeting. If one of your neigh
bors puts up a new gutter to a public
building, the editor is to tell the people
to look at that, gutter—was there ever
such a gutter before?
If a workman whitewashes some
body’s store, be must compare it to the
frescoing of an Italian palace. Ira
farmer bores a hole in a gate-post ana
fastens the gate with a pin he must
describe it as a wonderful artin fencing.
If a village boy carves the head of an
old man on the handle of an old Jim*
brella, his father carries the work of art
to the editor’s closet, and mildly sug
gests that “the boy ought to be encour
aged” ^
What Can it Mean?—Forney writers
a long editorial to prove that cotton
cannot bear a tax of five cents per
nound. He declares that the tax
should not exceed two cents and
argues, very sensibly, that any heavy
tax will stimulate competition in other
countries, tend to diminish the crop in
the United States, and affect injurious
ly the interests of our people, North
and South. Wonder if Forney to

where. Perhaps we should accept his
aid in a good cause without inquiring
into his motives. But he is so full o
venom against us, and strives so hard
to injure us in every- way, that we are
loth to give him credit for sincerity,

Matters anil Things in Morgan Coun.
ty.
We publish the following extract of
a letter from a friend now in Morgan
county, believing it will be interesting
to most of our readers:.
Morgan County, Ga, j
June 30, ’66.,,‘ j
Dear Courier : The close of the
war found me and ajl I had left in the
world (my wife and children) iu Mor
gan. county. Circumstances, that I
could not control, prevented my return
to Floyd—though I was anxious to en
joy the pure air of your mountains.—
Throueh the kindness of strangers, I
have been enabled to resume my old
occupation of raising cotton. The
great number of negroes in this county
caused the people to feel very anxious,
in tbe_ early part of the year, to see the
experiment of free labor tested. 1 am
•n otprepared to pronounce it a success.
Many plantations are completely over-
'run with grass. The wheat crop has
been harvested—the quality is poor,
and yield light. Corn is now being se
riously damaged by drought; but, if we
have rain soon, most of farmers .will
make enoughtp.do them% Those- whe
secured good stands of cotton, and was
able to get'the freedmen to work at
.the proper time, have treason ‘to hope
for an average .crop—but this crop is
very small—thany being forced to turn
out a portion of their crops totbe grass.
Thera is an abundance of labor, if it
could be made available—but large
numbers of negro women , girls, and
even stout boys, are living in idleness.
There cannot, under the most favora-
„ble circumstances, be more than one-
fourth of a crop efcotton made in this
county. I had blooms on the 25th
inst., three days earlier than I ever did
in Floyd.
Here, as everywhere else, yankees
are trying the experiment of making
cotton; they come here believing that
fortunes could be made in one year,
and that our people were ignorant, of
the mode of culture necessary to raise
cotton—and by the introduction of new
and improved implements, they would
revolutionize the whole system: but 1
think they are thoroughly satisfied with
the experiment, and if they were at
home, would gladly remain ; there.
. By the action of the last Legislature,
Madison became a city. She is just re
covering from the effects of the war.—.
Many of her old business men—with
quite a number of others,, arc laboring
tp.build'her up, and make a city in
something more than name. We have
to thank Tennessee for some of our best
and most energetic merchants. „ Rev.
J. R. Branham is conducting one of
the best schools for the education of
young ladies, in the State.. ! ,
1 would call the attention of my old
friends and comrades of North Georgia,
who were so unfortunate as to loose a
limb in the war, to the arm and leg
factory, now in full blast in Madison.—
A young friend visitod me to-day wear
ing an arm made by this company, and
it is so perfect that a . stranger would
never suspect, with a glove on, that it
was pot,n»,turpi. He plays the violin
with as much ease as any one can.-
The head of this company. Dr. Dan-
ellv, is the worthy son of old qncle
Jimie, who traveled and preached so
many years, minus a leg—which cir-
circunistance may have turned the
Doctor’s attention to the leg business.

'Confederates,not Amenable to State
Courts.—A trial of some importance,
growing out of events connected with
the war, has just been terminated at
Knoxville, Tennessee, by the acquittal
of the prisoner. The parties tried
were four in number, and were, duripg
the war officers in the Confederate -cr-
my. They were charged with murder
in having, whilst.sitting upon a court
martial, caused certain citizens of a
State to be hanged, toward the close of
1861. The charge against them was
sought to be proved by bringing con
nection with this court martial in evi
dence before the court. The verdict,
after a long and careful trial has been
to acquit the prisonere, they all having
been declared not guilty.
This case is interesting, says the New
York News, as showing that officers
and privates of the late Confederate
army cannot be made amenable to the
State courts for acts committed whilst
that service which were in the ordi
nary course of military law. When
these gentlemen were arrested a year
ago, General Grant recommended their
release on these grounds. The State
authorities, however, refused to comply
with this recommendation, and since
that time they have remained in jai l.
It is gratifying to record, as we do in
this case, the evidences of a returning
sense of justice on the part of judges
and juries in cases wherein defenseless
Confederates are concerned.

An Honest Confession.—In the de
bate in the Senate on the Tariff Bill, a
Republican United States Senator from
Michigan said:
“Mr Chandler said that the free list
was made up so as to faver New Eng
land, ..Fertilizers were exempt from
the tax; they were not used m the
Northwest. Thrashing machines were
taxed; they were not used in New Eng
^*Mr. jfessenden said that was a great

eled all over New Epglapd, and had
never seen a, thrashing machine there.
They used the old-fashoued flail alto-
suits New England to have au
article on the free list, it is put there;
and if it is more, for her interest to
have another article heavily taxed. it
is also done. Tira.whole..policy of. the
Government is now for her benefit.
May 21, 1865—The procession into
the fort was under the immediate in
spection ofMaj.Gen, Halleck and Ch-»s.
A. Dana, then Assistant Secretary
of War; Col, Pritchard, of the Michi
gan cavalry, who immediately effected
the capture, being the officer in com
mand of the guard from the vessel to
the fort. First came Maj. Gen. Miles
holding the arm of Mr. Davis, who was
dressed in a suit of plain Confederate
gray, with a gray slouched hat—always
thin and now looking much wasted
and very haggard. Immediately after
these come Col. Prichard accompanying
Mr. Clay, with a guard of soldiers iu
their rear. Thu3 they passed through
files of men in blue from tiie Engineers
Landing to the Water Battery Postern;
and on arriving at the casemate which
bad been fitted up. into Cells for their
incarceration, Mr. Davis was shown in
to casement No. 2 and Clay into No. 4,
guards of soldiers being stationed. jn
tfie cells rmm‘beiedl.,'3 and five, upon
each side of them. They entered, the
heavy doors clanged behind them, aDd
in that clang was wrung the final knell
of the terrible, but;now extinct rebel-
lion.
Being ushered into bis inner cell by
Gen. Miles, and the 4wo Joors leading
thereinto from the guard room being
fastened, Mr. Davis, after surveying the
premises for seme moments, and look
ing out through the embrasure With
sdeb thoughts passing over bis lined
and expressive face as may be imagin
ed, suddenly seated himself in a chair,
placing both hands on his kuees, and
naked one of the soldierspacing up and
down within his cell, this significant
questipn : “Which way does the em
brasure face ?” . - . .
The soldier was silent. . ._
Mr. Davis, raisin" his voice a little,
repeated the inquiry, ,. .
But again dead silence., or only the
measured footfalls of .the. two pacing
sentries within, and the fainter echoes
of the four.without. :
. Addressing the other soldier„as if the
first had been deaf and had uut. .heard
him, the prisoner again repeated his
inquiry. , ...■•<
But the second soldier remained si
lent as the first, a slight twitching of his
eves only iutimatingthathe had beard
the question, but was forbidden to
speak. - .
“Well,” said Mr. Davis, throwing his
hands up and breaking into a bitter
laugh. “1 wish my rae'n could have
.been taught your discipline!” and then,
rising from his chair, he commenced
lacing back and forth before the em-
»rasure„ now looking at the silent sen
try apross the, moat, and anon at
the two silently pacing soldiers who
were his companions in the case
ment. .
His sole reading matter..a Bible ana
prayer book, his only companions those
two silent guards, his only.fo.od the or-
dinary rations of bread and beef served
out to the soldiers of the? garrison—
thus passed the first day and., night of
the ex-President’s confinement.;
On the 23d day of May, the third day
of his imprisonment, he underwent be
ing put in irons—“a trial severer,” says
Dr. Graven, “than has,ever been in
flicted upon any one who has enjoyed
such eminence/’ Captain Titlow, of the
third Pennsylvania Artillery, was sent
to see it performed. .....
HOW MR. DAVIS WAS PUT IN IRONS.
“Well!” said Mr. Davis as fhey en
tered, slightly raising his head.
“I have an unpleasant duty to perform
Sir/’ said Capt. Titlow, and as he spoke,
the senior blacltsipith took the shack
les from his assistant. . .
Davis leaped rastantly from his re
cumbent attitude, a flush passing over
his face for a moment, and then his
countenance growing Uvid and rigid as
deatn.
He gasped for breath, clutching lus
throat with the thin fingers oi his right
hand, and then recovering himself slow
ly while his wasted figure towered up
to its full height—now appearing to
swell with indignation, and then to
shrink with terror, as he glanced trom
the captain’s face to the shackles—he
said slowly and with a laboring chest:
“My God ! you cannot have been sent
to iron me?” ; ”
“Such are my orders, Sir” replica
the officer, beckoning the blacksmith
to approach, who stepped forward, un
locking the padlock, and .preparing
the fetters to their office. These fet
ters were of heavy iron, probably five-
eighths of an inch in thickness, and
connected together by a chain of like
weight. I believe they are now m the
possession of Maj. Gen. Miles, and will
form an interesting relic.
“This is too monstrous,” groaned the
prisoner, glaring hurriedly around the
room, as if for some means or weapons
of self destruction. “I demand, Cap
tain, that you let me see the command
ing officer. Can he pretend that such
shackles are required to Becure the safe
custody of a weak old man, so guarded
and in such a fort as this ?”
“It could serve no purpose,” replied
Capt. Titlow; “his orders are from Wash
ington, as mine are from him.”
“But he can telegraph,’' interposed
Mr. Davis eagerly; “there mqst be some
mistake. No suoh outrage, as you
threaten me with is oh record in the
history of nations. Beg. him to tele
graph, and delay until he answers.”_
“My orders are peremptory,” said
the officer, “and admit of no delay.—
For your own sake let me advise you to
submit with patience. As a soldier,
Mr. Davis, you know I must execute
orders.”
“These are not orders for a soldier,”
shouted the prisoner, losing J^l control
of himself. “They are orders for a jail
or—for a hangsman, which no spldiec
wearing a sword should accept! I tell
you the world will ring with this dis
grace. . The war is. aver,, -the Sonth if
conquered; 1 have no longer Jany coun
try but America, and it is for the hon
or of America, as for my own honor and
life, tha,t I plead against this degreda-
tion. Kill-me ! kill. mel". he cried,
passionately,’throwing 'his 'arms, wide
open and exposing his breast,-, “ratjher
than inflict on me, and .on iny people
through ine, this insult worse than
death.” •!.
Do your duty blacksmith,” said the
officer, walking toward the embrasure
as if not caring to witness the perform
ance. It only gives increased pain on
all sides to protract this interview.”
At these words the blacksmith ad
vanced with the shackles, and seeing
that the prisoner had one foot upon
the chair near his bedside, his right
hand resting oa the back of it, the braw
ny mechanic made an attempt to slip
one of the shackles over the ankle so
raised, but, as with the vehemence and
strength which freazy can impart, even
to the weakest invalid, Mr. Davis sud
denly seized his assistant, and hurled
him half way across the room.
On this Capt. Titlow turned, and see
ing that Davis had backed against the
wall tor further resistance, began to re
monstrate, pointing out in brief, clear
language, that this coarse was inadness,
and that orders must be enforced at
any cost. “Why compell. me,” he
said, “to add the further indignity of,
peisonal yialence .to the necessity of
your being-ironed?” .
‘I am a prisoner of war,” fiercely fb '
totted Davis; “I have been a soldier in
the armies of America, and know how
to die. ,0my kill me, and my last
breath shall be a blessing on voui head.
But while I have life and strength to
resist, for myself, and foi my people,
this thing shall not be done.”
Hereupon Captain Titlow called in a,
sergeant and a hie of soldiers from the
next room, and the sergeant.advanced
to seize the prisoner. Immediately Mr.
Davis flew on him seized hismusketand
attempted to wrench it from his grasp.
Of course such a scene could have
but one issue. There was a short, pas
sionate scuffle. In a moment Mr. Davis
was flung upon his bed, and before his
four powerful assailants removed
their hands from him, the black
smith and assistant had done their
work—one securing the rivet on the
right ankle, while the other turned the
key in the padlock on the left.
This done, Mr. Davis lay for a mo
ment as if in a stupor. Then slowly
raising himself and turning around, he
dropped his shackled feet to the floor.
The harsh clank of the striking chain
seems first to have recalled him to his
situation, and dropping his face into
his hands,' he burst into a passionate
flood of sobbing, rocking to and fro,
and muttering at brief intervals ; “Oh,
the shame, the shame !”
THE TORTURE OF THE FRI30NER.
Happening to notice that his coffee
stood cold and apparently untested be
side his bed in its tin cup, I remarked
that bore was a contradiction , of the
assertion implied in the .old army ques
tion ” “Who ever saw cold coffee in a
tin cup ?” referring to the eagerness
with which soldiers of all classes, when
campaigning, seek for and use this bev-
“I cannot drink it,” he remarked,
though fond of coffee all niy life. It
is the poorest of the sort I have ever
tasted; and if your government pays for
such stuff as this for coffee, the pur
chasing quartermaster must be getting
rich. It surprises me, too, for I thought
your soldiers must have the _ best—ma
ny of my generals complaining of the
difficulties they encountered in seeking
to prevent our people from making vol
unteer truces with your soldiers when
ever the lines ran near each other, for
the purpose of exchanging the tobacco
we had in abundance against vour cof
fee and sugar.”
Told him to spend as little time in
bed as he could; that exercise was the
best medicine for the dyspeptic pa
tients. To this.he answered by uncov
ering the blankets from his feet and
showing me his shackled ankles.
“It is impossible for me, Doctor, I
cannot even stand erect. These shack
les are very heavy; I know, not with
the chain,. h,ow ;many pounds. If I try
to move they trip me, and have already
abraded broad patches of skin from the
parts they touch. Can you devise no
means to pad or cushion them, so that
when I try to drag them along they
may not chafe mo so' intolerably ? My
limbs have so little flesh on them, and
that so weak as to be easily lacerated.”
At sight of this I turned away, prom
ising to see what could be done, as ex
ercise was the chief medical necessity
ip Bis case;. and.. at this moment the
first thrill of sympathy for my patient
was experienced. _ . '
That afternoon, at an interyiew with
Maj. Gen. Miles, my opinion was given
that the ; physical condition of State
prisoner Davis requit ed the removal cf
his shackles, until, such time, as his
health ba established on some firmer ba
sis. Exercise he absolutely needed, and
also some alleviation of. his abnormal
nervous excitement. No drug could
aid a digestion naturally weak and so
impaired, without exercise; nor could
anything in the pharmacopoeia, quiet
nerves so overwrought and shattered,
while the continual irritation of the
fetters was counterpoising whatever
medicines might be given. ; .
“You wiilbelieve it then necessity?
queriedJGeneral Miles. •
“I do most earnestly.”
“Then twill give (he matter atten
tion;” and at this point for the present
the affair ended.
