FROM HILTON HEAD.
Horrible Homicide.
MATTERS AT THE POST.
[From Our Own Correspondent.]
Hilton Head, S. C., Jan. 20, 1866.
On last Saturday night, several workmen
of the Quartermaster’s Department at Hilton
Head, being intoxicated, a free fight was in
dulged in at their quarters in the rear of Mer
chants' Row. In the course of the melee,
Jas. Waterburry and Chas. Riley c ime in
contact, which resulted in Riley’s inflicting a
horiible gash upon the throat of Waterburry
with a dull knife, causing his death in a very
short time.
Riley was immediately arrested, and is now
confined in the Provost Marshal's guard
house. He will be tried iu a few days by a
Military Commission. Waterburry who was
intoxicated at the time, was well known at
Hilton Head as a very efficient foremuu of
one of the laboring gangs on tbe dock.
Riley was formerly a private in tbe 1st U.
S. Regular Artillery, from which he was
honorably' discharged. At tbe breaking out
of the war he entered the Confederate service,
but came back into tbe Union lines ns a re
fugee in tbe latter part of 1864.
Tbe affair caused much excitement at
Hilton Head. The feeling against Riley who
was sober at tbe time of the commission ot
tbe deed, is very bitter.
The steamer Empire City arrived at Hilton
Head at 8 o'clock yesterday morning from
Charleston. She brought to Charleston two
companies of U S. Cavalry, and came to the
Head tor coals.

[From the Charleston Courier.]
Washington, Jan. 25, 1866.
The Senate is triumphantly radic.il. The
votes ot yesterday and to-day, on the Freetl-
nien’s Bureau Biil, shows that the radicals
have the two-thirds power in that body as
well as in the House. This Bill, which will
pass the House by more than two-thirds, is
tbe most radical and arbitrary measure, or
system of measures, that has yet been de
vised so fai as the South is concerned.
The following are the ptovisions of the
bili ns it passed :
“That the act to establish a Bureau for tbe
relief of Freeduien and Refugees, approved
March 3, 1865, shall contiuue in force until
otherwise provided by law, and shall extend
to relugees and freedinen in all parts ot the
United Slates, and the President may divide
the Section of country containing such refu
gees and freedmen into districts, each con
taining one or more States, not to exceed
twelve in number, and by and with the ad
vice and consent oi the Senate, appoint an
Assistant Commissioner for each of said dis
tricts, who shall give like bond, receive the
same compensation, and perform (he same
duties prescribed by this act and the act to
vyhicb this is an amendment, or tbe said Bu
reau may, in tbe discretion of tbe President,
be placed under a Commissioner and Assis
tant Commissioner, to be detailed from the
army, in which event sucli officers, so as
signed to duty, shall serve without increase
of pay or allowances-
“Sec. 2 provides for the division of districts
into sub-districts aud the appointment of
clerks, and authorizes the President of tbe
United States to extend military jurisdiction
and protection over all employees, agents,
and other officers in the exercise of tbe duties
authorized or imposed upon them by this act.
“Sec. 3 authorizes the Secretary of War to
issue provisions, fuel, clothing, etc., for re
fugees and freedmen.
“Sec. 4 authorizes the President to reserve
from sale or from settlement under tbe home
stead or pre-emption laws, and to set apart
for tbe use of freedmen and loyal refugees,
male or female, unoccupied public lauds in
Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and
Arkansas, not exceeding in all three millions
of acres of good land ; and tbe Commission
er, under the direction ot the President, shall
cause tbe same from time to time to be allot
ted and assigned in parcels not exceeding
fifty acres each to the loyal refugees and
freedmen, who shall be protected in the use
and enjoyment thereof, for such term of time
and at such annual rent, as may be agreed
on between the Commissioner and sneb re
fugees or freedmen. The rental 6hall be
based upon a valuation of the land, to be as-
ceilained in such a manner as the Commis
sioner may, under the direction of the Presi
dent, by regulation prescrilie. At the end of
such term, or sooner, if the Commissioner
shall assent tlicieto, the occupants of any
paicels so assigned may purchase the land
and receive a little theieto from the United
States, in fee, upon paying therefor the
value of the laud ascertained as aloresaid.
“Sec. 5. That the possessory titles granted
in pursuance of Major General Sherman's
special field order, dated at Savannah, Jan.
16, 1865, are hereby confirmed and made
valid for the srace of three years.
‘-Sec. 6. That tbe Commissioner Bhall, un
der the direction of the President, procure in
the name ot the United States, by grant or
purchase, such laDds within tbe districts
aforesaid as maybe required for refugees
and freedmen dependent on the Govern meut
for support; aud he shall provide, or cause
to bo built, suitable asylums. and schools.—
But no such purchase sbail be made nor
compact tor the same entered into, nor other
expense incurred until after appeopriation
shall have been provided by Congress for
the general purposes of Ibis act, out of which
payment for said lands shall be made ; and
the Commissioner shall cause such lands,
from time to time, to be valued, allotted, as
signed and sold in tbe manner and form pro
vided in the fouith section qJ this act; pro
vided always that the said lands shall not DO
sold for less than the cost thereof to the
United States.
“Section 7 authorizes tbe President to ex
tend military protection to the freedmen
in ail cases of laws making discrimination
against them on account |>f color.
“Section 8 prescribes punishment for
subjecting freedmen to slavery.
“Section 9 repeals aii acts inconsistent
with tbe provisions of this.”
Senator Saulsbury declared, in a speech
against tbe bill, that it will cost $250,000,000
to carry it out. It will involve a large in
crease of the military establishment. It is
entirely hostile to the wiser policy of General
Grant, which was to turn the Freedmen's
Bureau over to tbe military. Under this bill
the two powers, military abd civil, acting in
concert, or independently, as it may happen,
can be used to oppress the people.
Tbe 5th section extends the possessing
title of the negroes to tbe Sea Island planta
tions for three years. At the end of that
lime they will undoubtedly receive a title in
fee.
letter from the capital.
Milledoevillb, Ga., Jau. 26, 1866.
Ed.tors Herald :
The elections by tbe General Assembly
will soon be a thing of the past, and great
will be the disappointment of many aspir
ants for office. I know not whether it be a
good or a bad sign that there are so many
candidates in the field for tbe few offices in
the gift of tbe Legislature; aud that differ
ent claims are presented with so much vigor
I know nqt even whether it is a compliment
to tbe Legislature for men to beseech and
besiege them with such assiduity for their
votes.
The resolution of Mr. Russell of Chatham,
commands the sympathy of all. It speaks
in behalf of a numerous class of our fellow-
citizens who have been the greatest sufferers
by the war. As the resolution was intro
duced it embraced the lands on Wilmington,
Whiimarsh, Skidaway and other islands.
The Senate amended the bill by inserting
Sapelo island, and with that amendment it
passed, and is now in the hands of the Gov
ernor. It is to be hoped that through the in
tercession of this functionary, tbe President
will be induced to restore to their rightful
owners the lands on tbe islands off tbe coast
ot Georgia, of which they are now dispos-
sessed.
Toe Legislature have given unmistakable
evidence that they do not intend to abolish
the penitentiary system of punishment. Tbe
bill abolishing the Penitentiary was discuss
ed for two days in the Senate, and was finally
lost. It is contemplated to have two peni
tentiaries, one for white and the other for
black criminals—the former to remain where
it baa been, at tbe seat of Government, the
latter to be at Stone Mountain.
A great number of chartered institutions
are before tbe Legislature lor incorporation.
The most of these are Mining & Manufactur
ing Companies. The personal liability clause
will be sought to be inserted iu every bill of
this kind. Alread Georgia begins to give
promise of what she is at no distant day to
become one of tbe principal manufacturing
States of the Union. The water power to be
derived from the Oconee river, is undergo
ing a thorough survey at tbe hand ot Col.
Fiobel, an experienced engineer. Tbe river
makes a fall in tbe distance of a mile and a
half of 60 feet, sufficient to bring tbe whole
water of the river, if it were desired, into the
very heart of tbe city. Milledgeville may yet
become a great manufacturing city. Canal
and Water Works Companies are up for in
corporation for the cities of Macon and At
lanta.
The people universally regret that Savan
nah is uot intimately connected with tbe rest
of the State, by tbe great line of railroad
which was so effectually destroyed by Sher
man. Savannah is tbe pride of the Slate ; her
citizens are always welcome wherever they
go. and at no place more than at tbe seat ot
Government. Great things are expected of
the present Superintendent of the Central
Railroad, Col. Wadley.
I regret that tbe House has confined the
railroads of tbe State to rates of passage and
freight which I fear will prove unremunera-
tive to those great public works, if it does
not seriously cripple tbeir operations. The
bill passed, confines them to the rales allow
ed in the charter of 'the Georgia Railroad,
which are one half a cent per pound for one
mile, and five cents per mile for passage. A
heavy penalty is affixed for higher rates. The
Senate may modify these rates, though that
is doubtful, as tbe House was nearly unani
mous in the passage ot the bill.
A resolution has been introduced into tbe
Senate contemplating provision to be made
for the maintenance of the old and infirm
among tbe colored population. It is thought
this will be done by authorizing each county
to levy a tax on those of this class able to
work, to be used specially for this purpose.
The tax on real estate for the present year
will uot be more than one-eighth of one per
cent.; the poll tax alike on white and black
will lx: two dollars, if the recommendation of
ttie Comptroller be carried out. The State’s
quota of taxes for tbe general Government—
$500,000—will have to be provided for by
the issue of bonds on the credit of the State.
Toe same course will have to be taken to
raise money for the immediate wants of tbe
State Government, Chatham.
The Captured Cannon at West. Point.
The Secretary of War communicated to
the House on the 24tb, in compliance with a
resolution, the correspondence of the United
States Military Academy and the chief engi
neer of tbe army, relative tq marking with
the names of battles the. captured guns, It
appears that there are upwards of thirty can
non at West Point, among them some of his
toric value, and not a few of foreign manu
facture, in charge of Captain Belch, who
asked instructions relative to marking them
with suitable inscriptions. General Dulafield
suggests that it is not desirable to inscribe
on any of these guns evidence of capture as
trophies of war, to remain at an institution
where young m e b front all parts of our
united and once happy country are to meet
and contract friendships. He says:
“It should be our study tyith these young
men to present nothing of an irritable or
boastful spirit to be placed constantly before
the sight of those whose section of country
suffered by the rebellion. Let history tell
the evils this rebellion has produced, and let
us, through the instrumentality of the Mili
tary Academy, renew its powerful influence
in establishing national feelings through tbe
friendships that are sure to flow from a schol
astic fellowship under military training for
years. These guns should be preserved only
as historical of the artillery arm of the ser
vice, indicating the period and place of man
ufacture of each, calibre and description of
gun, omitting everything connected with
their capture or use.”
Gen. Sheridan's Report on the Bagdad
Affair.—Official intelligence to the 22d has
been received at Washington from General
Sbei idian concerning the recent outrages on
the Rio Grande. He reports Col. Kip, of bis
staff, as just returned from Brownsville,
and finds that there is considerable excite
ment prevailing, but no danger of aqy serious
trouble. The investigation into tbe affair at
Bagdad has not been completed. General
Wright has been ordered to proceed to the
border and restore the equilibrium of mat
ters. Tbeie is no doubt, however, that a
gross outrage was committed by Crawford
and his adherents.
From tli« Plalns-iCold Weather—India*
Troubles.
St. Louis, Jan. 22.—John Andrews,
the conductor of tbe SaDla Fe coaches,
which arrived at Kansas City last Fri
day, reports a continuance of very cold
weather on the plains. He passed a
number of wagons with men, whose feet,
bands and other parts were frozen so badly
that tbe most of them will die. One man, a
herder for Scon’s train, was killed and scalp
ed by tbe Indians four miles above Fort
Dodge, ou Monday, tbe 8th iust. On the
next evening the Indians attacked eighteen
men at Five Mi e Bridge, twenty-seven miles
above Fort Dodge.
No one was hurt, but the Indians kept
around their camps all night, and followed
them for some distance till observing the
coach. They picked up a horse and mule
following close behind it. This probably
drew them off from the coach. There are
now from twenty to twenty-five laden teams
on the way out at different points on the
road, exposed and liable to Indian attack,
there being not men enough to guard them,
and unless more efficient protection is fur-
nished they are liable to heavy losses. Ooe-
third of the cattle belonging to these trains
had died. A great many of the men are
badly fr«zen, several frozen to death, two at
Bear Creek and one on the Arkansas-
