ATLANTA, GEORGIA:
THURSDAY, AUGUST «, 1861.
The Preliminary Fxasnluatlou of Johu
and JancN H'IImhi, Charged with the
Murder of Tliomav Terry.
(CONTINUED )
Our report closed yesterday at the adjourn
ment of the Court lor dinner, until two o'clock.
The prisoners were remanded to jail. Be
fore the hour for the re-assembling of the
Court, the same anxious groups were gathered
about the City Hall. We observed there the
father of the bereaved Mrs Terry, who was
an anxious spectator, with a heavy and almost
broken heart. He very feelingly observed^
that if his son-in-law had been killed in bat
tle, lighting for his country, it couli have been
borne with a thousand times the fortitude; but
for a good citixen—a harmless and inoffensive
man—to be murdered by malicious and wick
ed men without a cause, was more than hu
man nature could well bear. We were in
formed that Mr. Terry's mother is utterly pros
trate Irom the deep affliction of this loss of
her sou iu this horrid and inhuman manner.
Many of Mr. Terry’s neighbors were present
and deeply interested spectators.
When the prisoners were brought in, they
were accompanied by the female menbersof
their families. One who appeared to be the
wife of James, accompanied him to his place,
and sat down between him and his father.—
She seemed bowed down and overwhelmed
with troublous grief. She soon, however,
changed her position and took her seat with
the other females of the Wilson family. The
old mau Wilson, before coming into Court
again, had changed his bloody shirt for a clean
one - otherwise their appearance was unchang
ed.
Daniel McDuffie testified : I went with the
Wilsons to the corner of Mr. Kennedy’s lot,
wbeu John Wilson looked back and said,
" Who's that ?” James Wilson replied, “ Ter
ry,” aud both then went back. He knew no
thing of any threats.
Mr. Jerome Beers testified: Was coming
from town on Saturday about 5 o’clock. I
met Mr. Terry at Mr. Kennedy’s shoe shop.
Old man Wilson and his son James came up
a few moments afterwards, aad passed on
sumo 20 or 25 yards. The next 1 saw of them
they were back at Kennedy’s shop. One of
them asked Kennedy if he had heard from
h : s son. Mr. K. had just commenced to read
the letter. When the letter was read, and Mr.
Cowan was walking off, and when Mr. Terry
was turning to mount his mule, old man Wil
son asked Terry out in the road, saying he
wauted a word with him. Terry at first did
not seem inclined to go; but while standing
by bis mule he took off his stirrup—don’t
kuow how it was fastened on, but he seemed
to take it off very easily. He then walked
out in the road, aud I understood hiru to say
ho wanted no fuss with him (Wilson) at all.
There were a few words then passed, but I
did not understand them. Old man Wilson
struck at Terry first, but I don’t know wheth
er he hit him or not. Mr. Terry struck with
his stirrup. The iwo blows were almost at
the same time, but Wilson's first. About the
tune Terry struck, James Wilson struck him
with a champagne bottle. Terry fell, aud the
old man rushed on him while he was down,
end struck him two or three times. I do not
know if he had a stone in his hand, but he
struck him with bit baud or fist. Mr. Kenne
dy rushed out and took him off, and gave him
to his sou James, who carried him away, but
ho struggled and endeavored to get back at
Terry all the while. The blow from the bottle
struck Terry on the left side of the head a
little above the ear. The bottle was full of
liquor. Mr. Terry got up. I knew nothing of
any previous difficulties.
Dr. H. W. Brown testified: Found the pa
tient about seven o’clock in the eutry of Mr
Kennedy’s bouse ; found be bad a contusion
over the right eye; It might have been by a
man's fist, or some other hard, resisting body;
it might have been a rock, though it was not
& rough or angular body. One, also, with con
siderable tumefaction, over the left ear, with
slight injury to tho scalp, evidently produced
by boiug driven against the fractured bone.
The patient was suffering from what we call
concussion of the brain, and we treated him
to relieve that condition at once. So soon as
the ayiuptoniH of coucusaiou disappeared, the
evidencetof compression were distinctly man
ifest. Proceeding then to escertsin the cause,
wo examined the wouuds more carefully;
opened the scalp freely over the wound on
aide of head ; found extensive depression of a
portion of bone, oval in shape, say 2| by 3}
inches; tbe long diameter from before back
ward ; used tbe trephine about 8 or 9 o'clock;
elevated tbe depressed bone to ueerly its net
ural position ; found extensive extravisatiou
of blood under tbe bone or within the crani-
urn, and arterial blood flowing freely; when
the bone was elevated, or cotgula removed
Iroin the opening, we saw from the location of
the depressed bone, (being tbe squamous por
tion of the Temporal, with the anterior and
inferior portiou of the Parietal bones,) that
the blood was issuing from the arteria in on in
gea media, lacerated by the edge of the de
pressed bone or epicula of same, and deter
mined at once the cause of tbe compression
now existing, to be the accumulating blood
upon the brain from the above artery. We
think such a wound would certainly result in
death, and must have been produced by some
bard body—round and smooth, perhaps—at
all events, by some substance not edged or
angular, (for reaaona specified.) We remained
with the patient till about 11 o'olock P M.,
Saturday, and left the patient, stating to
friends that we regarded his case n hopeless
one, but left such directions, as to his manage
meat; as we supposed would give him moat
comfort, and aid any effort towards recovery.
Dr. 8. 8. Beaoh went to see Mr. Terry with
Dr. Brown end left with him. (His testimony
was tbe same as Dr. Brown's in svsry respect.)
Cross-JSetemined.
Q. What is the effect of suob a wound upon
the mind?
SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.
A. I do not know that it would bsve serious
ly Effected his mind at first. It in a bard mat
ter to tell whether bis oiiud wss st once affect
ed or not—though he was not in his right
mind after I saw him.
Dr. Joshua Oil hurt testified : I got to Mr.
Terry about 6 o’clock, I suppose. When I
first ssw him be was sitting in a chair against
the palings on the side of tbe street. He look
ed like feinting, which soon euded in a con-
vulsion, and I thought he looked like be
might die at once. I sent lor some brandy,
and commenced cutting off his hair, when
young Wilson cams up with rocks in his band,
swearing be would have revenge on any man
that would strike his father. I struck him
and then caught him by the hair and threw
him, put my foot on his neck, and told him to
he still, or I would stamp all tbe meet off his
face. We then got Terry on a maltrass. He
suffered severely with a spasm. I aent for
Dr. Brown and Dr. Beach. (Tbe remainder
of 'his testimony wss similar to that of Dr.
Brown and Dr. Beach.)
Cross - Examined.
When I arrived he did not seem to be iu his
proper mind. From the character of the
wound might have been iu his mind, as soon
as he recovered from tho stun, and until com
pression of the brain took place from tbe flow
of blood.
Tbe evidence on tbe part of tbe State here
closed.
Mr. Manning, attoroey f..r the prisoners,
announced that they would introduce no tes
timony, aud would submit the cise to the
court without any remarks, when Mr. N. J.
Hammond, 8tate's attorney, said he would
also submit the case without any remarks.
E6q. Thomas announced that the court had
come to the conclusion that the prisoners were
guilty of murder, and could not take bail.
Tbe crowd gradually dispersed—each to hi 8
several home or occupation—though a few
persons essayed to raise a force sufficient to
lynch the the prisoners—declaring that they
were remorseless murderers of a good man,
and unworthy of the trouble and the expense
tbe county would beat, in according them a
trial. These persons, however, were quite
few, and could not muator up a force to under
take anything so imprudent and improper.
Better counsels finally prevailed, and tbe
crowd quietly dispersed.
The indignation against them, however, is
very great, and the whole community feels
outraged. We earnestly entreat all persons to
control their feelings, and let the law take its
course. It is our only safety. When lawless
ness takes control in one case—however much
it may aim in securing justice—we know not
how soon the fatal example may be imitated
with far different objects in view. Let the
law in its majesty still be a “ terror to evil
doers, aud tbe praise of them that do well.”

Richmond, Virginia, July 29, 1861
Messrs. Adair dr Smith:
(1 ents : After a sojourn of one busy and unx-
loiis week at Manassas, I returned to tbis city
on last afternoon, only that I might complete
uiy outfit for camp-life in the surgeon’* depart
ment. Dr. Colley ond Rev. Wm. II. Simmons
arrived here safely several days since, but could
rot make arrangements for leaving here until
yesterday (Sunday) morning.
I failed to see them—our respective trains hav
ing passed on the way without nn opportunity
for recognition.
My labor on the battle Held has been arduous
but profitable to my professional experience,
from the vast number and variety of important
surgical case* which have been thrown under
my treatment, while I humbly trust ray services
have been, at least in some degree, useful tomy
country and to many a suffering soldier. I dress
ed, while there, 200 Federal prisoners, (besides
scores of our own) whose sufferings were heart
rending. Some were brought In shot through
the head; others through the nee*, arms and
legs; some with thigh bones shattered, and the
limbs hanging suspended by skin, muscle or lig
ament. The miseries of many were intensified
by the want ’of covering, food aud water for
which they piteously begged. Scarcely a por
tiou of the human body was exempt from the
violence of some weapon of war.
When I moved in the midst of such a melting
scene, my Southern heart grew too large for the
indulgence of liutred, aud I therefore dressed
their wounds and nursed them in their suffer
ings, as willingly ns though they had been our
own dear people.
I have been occasionally mortified at the cold
hcartlessncss with which some who boosted a
Southern birth, could ridicule and abuse these
suffering creatures, before their faces, even when
Death was about to perform his fntAl work.
Wc have shipped 280 to the Hospital in this
city, 350 to Culpepper Court House, aud some
400 to Charlottesville. Indeed, they arc scatter
ed over the country far and wide. 8ome of the
wounded Federal* are lodged In the costly and
comfortable dwellings of th* rich ; others com
mitted to the hospital, and hundreds more to
the cheerless enclosures ot a prison.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the
generous inhabitants of this Queen City of the
Old Dominion. They have voluntarily offered
to take to their private residences, as many os
their rooms cau accommodate and their means
comfortably sustain. Woman, lovely, sympa
thizing woman—God bless her! Is ever ready,
jrllh her heart In her hand, to relieve their suf
ferings.
The battle-field, when wc visited it, presented
u horrifying spectnblc. Yet, this is the legiti
mate fault of war, ond Liberty must be purchas
ed even at this high premium, ns our enemies
are not content that we should enjoy it at a less
cost of human life.
A request was made of Gen. Beauregard, by
Gen. McDowell, that they might be permitted
to bury their dead, which, notwithstanding slan
derous rumors to tht contrary, was readily gran
ted. Yet, In such hot haste was the task per
formed, that, perhaps, two-thirds of their num
ber were led upon the surface with a few spades
fall of earth carelessly thrown over them.—
Humbert were traced by the bloody track along
which they hod crawled to the stream—Ball’s
Run—where they had gone to seek water tnd
died.
The vandal barbarism aud blasphemy of some
of the Federal troops are chsractsrixed by the
following incident: While quartered but for one
day In the little village of Centrevllle, they de
stroyed a magnificent Episcopal Church, dese
crated the altar with profuse Inscriptions, tore
up the carpets from the stales, scattered the
mutilated leaves of the Holy Bible to the four
corners of the building, and wrote, In large let•
trrs, Just over the pulpit, the following diabolic
al seutence: “ Death to the d—d Rebels and
Jeff. Davis. So snlth tbe Lord and Abe Lincoln.”
Many scurrilous devices, obscene figures, vulgar
caricatures, and profane denunciations, were
scratched upon the walls of the gallery, and left
ns melancholy moraorlols of the infernal spirit
which actuated them. Many similar scenes were
witnessed by the cUixcns of tho place, whose
hands were motionless, and whose mouthB were
closed, for they dared not resist. They have
since, however, “ reaped the whirlwind” oa the
fearful reward of their wickedness, and arc now
at our feet pleading for mere}*—attributing their
defeat to the Government at Washington. Mj>ny
Colonels, Captains and privates—all, Indeed,
with whom I have conversed, say that they had
no idea there would be any fighting on our side,
but now acknowledge that wc fought well, and
desperately—more like demons than men—say
ing that all tbe combined powers of the world
could not subdue a people of such undying
courage. Many of them had been forced to slay
beyond the time for which they had volunteer
ed, that having expired two or three days before
the battle. One intelligent officer—a Lieutenant
—told me that we had, hereafter, to contend
with the rabble; that those whom we routed
were mainly their picked inen—the very flower
of the North, nud the Idols of old “ fuss, feath
ers and foibles,” and bis royal cub—Old Abe.
Manassas is now one wild waste. Farm hou
ses stand deserted, the green orchards parched
and beaten to tne earth by the trend of horses
and men. Surely, never in modern days, has
there been such a complete rout of confident,
vainglorious hosts. Even Napoleon, in his great
campaign of 1814, could claim no such glorious
victory as that over which we now rejoice.—
Heaven will yet continue to smile upon us, and
crown our efforts with Independence.

From the Auguets Chronicle.
The Express Company.
We noticed in the Columbus Sun, of Friday,
a communicated article, condemnatory of the
Express Company for charging freight on
packages sent to the soldiers Similar articles
have recently appeared iu several of our in
terior exchanges, both as editornl and com
municated. The writers of these articles are
surely not aware of the amount of gratuitous
labor and service performed by the Express
Company far our soldiers since they have
been called to the field—at tbe same time, too,
that its stockholders and officers have been
no ways backward in contributing of their
private means on all occasions. The express
Compauy did, at first, when only a few hun
dreds or thousands of soldiers were called
out, delivered packages free cf charge, but
the business soon became too heavy. The
railroad companies are entitled to and receive
their rates for frieight carried by the Express,
and it would be as reasonable to expect the
cloth mills to furnish their good* without
charge, and merchants of all classic to furn
ish gratuitously everything in their stores,
as to demand of the Express ihnt they should
pay the railroads, and tbe salaries of messen
gers and officers out of pure patriotism. If
the carriage of the goods cost them nothing,
we have no hesitancy in saying that they
would cheerfully devote their care and ruen
lion to the speedy and safe delivery of all
packages for soldiers entrusted to their care,
without charge.
All the officers and managers of the Express
Company with whom we have any intercourse
evidence, in many ways, as much interest in
the propriety of the cause which we have
much at heart as any class of our citizens

The Might After the Battle.
BIT M. C. BIO BY.
The placid heaven this night look* down,
Upon Manassas’ field,
Where lie the soldiers coldly still,
Our prayers were vain to shield.
Celestial hosts keep silent watch,
Above the honored dead ;
And moon und stars have lent light,
To glorily their bed.
Forever green their memories be,
Who warm’d with Instincts high,
True to man's noblest destiny,
This day have dared to die.
While victory’s exulting shout,
Upon the breeze Is borne,
The monotone of woe is heard,
Bereaved RncbncPs mourn.
Au aged Jacob *tls that weeps,
A Benjamin Is not;
Or worse, some tender father now,
Bewails a C'omah’s lot.
Each heavy head, death laid so low,
Some mother’s bosom press’d,
And on those dummy, up turn’d brows,
Her prayerful blessings rest.
The stalwart arm that death unnerved,
Perhaps were some wife’s stay,
And she will breathe his name to-night.
When e’er she kneels to pray.
Children, orphaned since the morn,
Call now a father’s name,
Who dying there bequeath’d to them
An heritage of fame.
God bless the mothers here at home,
God shield our soldiers there,
And give us peace—a woman’s—yet
An honest patriot’s prayer.
Mass Commercial aud Financial Conven
tion.
To the Meichauis, Bankers aud otters*
of the Confederate States of America :
There are two great otjecis which we de
sire as the result of the momentous struggle
which is now pending. One is Political, the
other is Commercial and Fiuuncial.
Tbs first has been thoroughly organized and
under the direction of the ablest minds in
Confederacy, and with the bleating of God,
appears to be rapidly progressing to a satis
factory conclusion. The second, and in our
estimation tbe greatest und important, baa not
as ywt, an organization, and is in) great dan
ger of being lost by the success of the first
—before any well digested plans have teen
adopted for its attainment.
We feel it to be our duty, tbereiore, to our
selves and our country, to seek loawakeu the
public miud to the incalculable importance of
seeing to it, that our forces are promptly mus
tered and well equipped for tbe coming strug
gle, our plans thoroughly discussed and well
matured, that by | rompl und combined action
when the movement shall be made, we shall
ensure entire success end become as we seek
to be. not only politically, but commercially
aud financially free and indepennent.
Have we not the skill aud energy in our
Confederacy which is needful to conduct our
commercial and fioaoci il affairs a* well abroad
as at home ? If not, we fear we must be con
tent as heretofore, to allow them to remain
\he hands of, and be conducted by others.
Shall the profith arising from our immense
trade with Foreign countries continue to flow
into the bands of those who are inimical to
our peace and welfare, or shall the benefili
arising therefrom be retrained b us andtraus
mined as a rich legacy to our children ?
A mighty aud systematic effort has been
made by Merchants and Bankers at the North
to transfer to, and engross almost the entire
profits of Southern trade in their own hands.
Our institutions have been decried to tbe
world in the hope that by this means they
might drive from us the sympathies of otl.er
commercial nations, and obstruct, if not whol
lj preveut direct intercourse between us aud
them.
With these facts before us, is it not time we
should awaken to the vital importance of in
slant, wise and decided action upon this sub
ject ?
One of tbe greatest obstacles in the way of
the establishment of direct trade with foreign
countries—immediately upon the opening of
the ports of our Confederacy—is the fact that
our Merchants are comparatively unknown in
foreign markets, and have no credit establish
ed there. Although, the ptoducte of the South
ern States have constituted (he basis of credits
and exchange between the late United States
and these nations for more than a half cenlu*
ry ; in a financial and commercial sense, we
are unknown to each other—our bills of ex
change having been drawn by Northern Hou
ses, and tbe vast amount of their productions
consumed by us—imported through the same
ehaonel—so little have we been known in
these transac'ions, that years would be requir
ed in tbs otdinary course of events, io build
up that trade and establish that confidence
which is absolutely necessary in commercial
transactions, which are founded on a system
of credits.
It is clear, therefore, that some extraordina
ry measure must be devised, to enable us to
free ourselves from these impediments to our
commercial credit and independence, and pre
vent our falling back into the old channel as
soon as our ports ere again open. It is more
over, desirable than our products, other than
our greet staple, should be fully make known
to the world, and the great advantage to fore
ign nations of a direct trade with us, and we
should all unite our efforts in the promotion of
this great work.
We, therefore, cordially invite the Mer
chants, Bankers and others of the Confeder
ale States, to meet us in Mass Convention, in
the City of Macon, on the 14tb day of Octo
ber next, for the purpose of devisiug some
plan for establishing a system of credits be
tween the Confederate States of America and
Foreign countries, which may be practicable
and available to all desiriug to use it, and
which will also command tbe hearty support
of the citixens of our whole country.
Wa earnestly invite tbe assistance and co
operation of the press of the Confederate
States, in bringing the subject fully before
tbe people and tbe presence of its members
on the ocoaeion named.
We would also, respectfully suggests to the
various Chambers of Commerce and other
Societies within the Confederaey, organised
for similar purposes—the propriety of a[
pointing Committees at an early day for the
purpose of a due and deliberate investigation
of ibis important subjeot, and proposing
some plan to be submitted to the Convention
at its meeting.
