The Wilson Mubdee. —-The examination "of
the negro Jesse Watkins^-for the murder of
Chis. P. Wilson, on the 31st August last, was
commenced yesterday, before Justices Itus-
ssll and Connell. The boy Dick Baldin, (who
was an accessory in Ihe affair, made confes
sion of the, horrible, sickening details of the
The Races on f Thursday Afternoon.
There was a very large crowd of people at the
Thunderbolt Racing Park on Thursday after-
noon, and such a jolly, gay time as they had
of it, lias not been heard of for years. Fun
and mirth ruled the hour; everybod
out for enjoyment, and each-and- *ev
holida-
came
y one
to last until the next
. occasion. There were many ladies
it who enjoyed the "races f exceedingly,
and were particularly amused at satne-of the
mule contests, "which were highly laughable..
The first race was a .‘ ‘Gentlemen’s Mule
Race,** for which -some fifteen entries were
made by well-known young gentlemen, who
improved the occasion to have" a little spbrt.
Each mule entered was ridden by the gentle
man who made the entry ; and the riders hab
ited in fantastic costume, and mounted on
their ungainly looking creatures, furnished
“fun for the million.” Time was called at
two o’clock, M. Prendergast’s mule, “Bis
marck Girl” winning the choice of" - position.
At, the word they all went off atfnU speed,
the “Bismarck" Girl” having the start of the
others. She kept the lead for a few minutes,
bat was gradually gained upon and passed by
the thoroughbred mare mole “GrecianBend,”
which kept in the advance ‘during the re
mainder of the race. The scene was very:
exciting and amusing, and the animals were
put to ■ till speed:" The race was a single
mile dash, and was won by “Grecian Bend;”
entered by R. B. Habersham. Mr. hb yan
Wytk’s “Heads I Say” came in second;-;the"
others promiscuously; Mr. J. Low’s. “.Ginger

column. -A* more atrocious,: cold-blooded,
horrible murder probably never occurred in
the annals of crime. .How anything in hu- :
man form could have so. deliberately and;
coolly murdered an innocent child/is beyond'
comprehension.., ■. 1 "’ !
Jesse is a negro, a little over five feet in
height, brawny and strong, with a very bad
countenance. He appeared very cool at the
beginning of the investigation, laughed to ,
himself: gazed pat of the window, and sur
veyed tie people in Conrt;- but os Hie boy ;
Dick made his statements, he became un
easy, and finally acted as though he realized
the bad position in which he was placed.'
No case of murder was ever so safely com
mitted, apparently; and there never came un
der oar observation a cade which hhd.been so
skillfully worked up, and the perpetrator^
brought to cUXbm. sflgfijiest Ichances
some time3 lead to great results; and circum
stances slight, and apparently of no aeconnt
of themselves, when put together, form a
chain of evidence so strong and "complete as
to be conclusive*. " . L
it go happened that in August; last a gang
of vagabond negroes from Bryan Row, were
particularly active-in shooting and 4 carrying ,
offthemeatof cows found on the outskirts
of the city. Mr. "Waring Hassell, amon» "
others, had lpst .two valuableg animals, and
was on the watch to catch* the thieves. On
the Monday that the boy was missing he as
certained that, two negroes from Bryan Row
were going oat to kill a cow. In tire even
ing he learned that for some • unex
plained reason they had come in
without having executed . their pur
pose. The search for the boy was being
made on Tuesday and Wednesday. On
X inns day, Mr. Rnasell learned that the same
negroes were going out again after a cow.
Be also ascertained that they did kill an
animal, but had left the. carcass in the field,
and returned hastily to town. That evening
the boy’s body was found in the vicinity of
where the cow had been killed. It flashed
across thednain of the officer .that these were
ihe negroes who had killed the boy.
To get them.required skill, dexterity, and
all the acuteness of a mind trained by long
experience. Oncp the slightest, alarm was
raised, all who knew anything‘about the af
fair would be off out of reach. Jesse was de
coyed away from Bryan Row, that same
Thursday night and lodged in jail. Silently
and quietly Dick, his'father and mother, and
all connected with him, were arrested, with
out the matter having become known. Mar
cus and Jackson and their femilies.were pat
iu jail, and witnesses secured. Jesse had told
Marcus that he killed the boy; he had bor
rowed a gun from Jackson which belonged
11 Dick's father. Ho and Diok had been
seen to go out, together on Monday; they
brought the gun back empty. The . musket
with which the boy was shot was secured.
Slowly, very slowly, but not leas surely, the
chain of evidence was completed- Finally
Dick, finding that the officers knew all about
the affair, made confession of the bloody deed.
That conf iasion is corroborated in every par
ticular. First, lie led Mr. Russell, Mr. Gue
aid others to the place where Jesaa had laid
the boy’s body, which he could - not have
known unless he had been there, and it was
firmly fixed upon his mind. Dven those who
had fonnd the body could not go direct to
the place a second time. He Showed the
spot where the boy was killed, and said that
he loaded the gnn and wadded it with moss.
The shot had* earned ihe. jnosa, with
them into the wound, and it was
found there. He told ! the*-relative
positions of Jesse and the boy at the time
the shot was fired, and the wounds on the
body corresponded: to the statement. In
every partiomai he'is corroborated, and there
remains no doubt. bnt ; that the,negro Jesse is
the person who took the boy’slife.
Mr. Bussell is entitled to the greatest credit
for the skill which he has exhibited in tracing
out the perpetrator of this horrible tragedy.
The mystery and .darkness which sur
rounded the affair he has cleared away, and
the murderer will notr go unwhipped of jus
tice. - - v,

The sixth-was a running-race between B.
B. FerrilL's “Auvergne,"’ Kilpatrick's “Jim,”
and Dan Castello’s “Black Cloud.” “Au

horses coming in far behind, -
Entries were then made for a seventh race.

“Heads I Say;" E. A Silva enters “Huckle
berry."’ * j
This race was a very spirited one, and was
won by “Great Expectations,” who took the
cup. “Bismarck Gin” came in third.
Next on the programme came the 'trotting
race, for which tile horses “Bob. Ridley,”
“Cyclops,” “Charlie” and “Fannie” were en
tered. This was.a badly managed affair, and
only one heat was run. In that, but' one of
the drivers heard the word “Go,” and trotted
around, the course by himself. This was the
driver of the “Bob Ridley.”
As the ifftemoourprogressed, the sport in
creased. Afourth-"rabewas soon made up,,
with the following entries:
“Page,” entered by M- Prendergast; “Black
Cloud,’’ entered by Dan Costello; “Jim,” by
"Mr. Kilpatrick; Sorrel Pony, by Air. Van
Wyck, and “U. S. B.,”byMr. McNelty. The
race was a single-mile dash, and was taken
in handsome style by “Page.”
A pacing Tace was next made up, Mr. "Pren
dergast entering home “Kentucky” "against
“ “ *"*~ *” tuikS”"'
rick the horse “Jim.” “Auvergne” distanced,
this’ competitors and wop the. race.
These successive trials of horseflesh had
about made that sort of sport a little mo-,
notonous, when three of the gentlemen, to”
vary the" amusement, matched theoiselves for
a foot race, for a i distance of one hundred
yards. It was a very close contest and fur
nished a good deal of sport; so mnch so that
feelings of emulation sprung i;p ip the breasts
of others, and a second foofc-raee came off
between two other gentlemen, who launched
out their lower limbs in fine style, and made
excellent time. , .
. The afternoon’s entertainment closed with
a wrestling match between an ^Insurance
Agent and Auctioneer, who * corrteifiled to
gether vigorously for .some time. The latter
was thrown twice out’of three tinjes, and the
affair than y ,
The whole 1 affair was one of the" most de
lightful "day’s sport in which onr young men
have parti :ipatid since the war. The fun
far exceeded expectations; and, in the lan
guage of one of the “boys,” “if their pockets
are broken, their spirits are not.” They are
anxions for another holiday, and a good time,
eqnal, if not superior to the last.

McIntosh county Superior Court is. in st
most of our citizens that sometime ago Col.
T. P. Robb, Postmaster at this city, obtained
from the Treasury Department, at Washing-.
ton, on appropriation for the* purpose of re
fitting the Post Office here. The work was;
commenced under the superintendence of
Air. M. C. Murphy, and has jnst been com
pleted. A person who had been absent dur
ing the time that the work was" underway,
would not know the old place now, so great
has been the change in its appearance.
The entire interior of the office has re
ceived three coats of paint, rendering it
bright and cheerful, in strong contrast to its
former glomy appearance. The old pine
desk and dingy window over and throngh
which stamps wpre formerly passed out are
gone," and in their place there is an elegant
black walnut desk, and a large sbeaptifnl
window,, with separate, openings for the
stamps, money order and registry business.
The old open boxes, open, indeed, in every
sensa’-of the wortRso much so that every gust
of wind ■ scattered their contents over the
floor, have given place to over five hundred
neatly finished boxes, with glass fronts,
which atand.where the old windows used to
be. They are neatly and’ plainly numbered,
and very convenient, as every person can
come in, look at their boxes, and ascertain,
for themselves whether ornOt there is any
mail for them. . Immediately under the g}ass
boxes are one hundred and twenty lock
boxes, with splendid combination locks,
made to order at Hartford, Conn. The entire
wood-work of the iqtejio* is of finely finished
"black walnut. --
The office has been renovated throughout;
the old floor has been taken up, and its place
supplied with a new one. Every, convenience
has been added for the proper transaction of
the constantly increasing postal business of
the 6ity.
The painting of the interior was done by
Messrs. Murphy Se Clark, of this city, and
does them credet. The mpnbsring and let
tering of the boxes and windows was the
work of Messrs. Gilmore <fc McKenna, and
has been executed in a neat, handsome and
tasty manner. ME M- C. Mqrphy has had
general supervision .of all the work,*- ana is
entitled to the credit for having planned and
caused it to be executed well -The clerks as
well as the public have new accommodations,
and the office is now as light and convenient
as it was previously dark and inconvenient
The liberal appropriation by means of
which the Post Office has thus been made
more in accordance with the %ants of • the
people was secured through the unremitting
exertions of our postmaster. Col. T. F. Robb,
who ever since he has held the office has la
beled steadily for the improvement of the
postal affairs of this part of the State, and -of-
this city in particular. He has been a very
efficient public officer, and the people are in
debted to him for better postal accommoda
tions than they have ever enjoyed before.

By Vic Court.—Wlien Bossiter first came'up to Mor

o be in a passion. Bossiter* struck Morgan the mo
ment that the latter said that he (Bossiter) had robbed
him, Bossiter; at the" nan time, said : You’re a liar,
" By Mr. Iiartridgc.—About half a minute elapsed be
tween the blow and the firing of the pistol. When
the shot was fired there was no one present but my
self. Shea was uetthcre. I did not sec Shea until
after Bossiter was taken to his house. I could not say

he was not there when Bossiter was shot. I sawMe r

By the Court—When Bossiter spoke to Morgan I saw
no knife "nor pistol" in his possession. Tam certain
that Shea was not on the ; spot, nor within fifty yards
of it, when the shot wae fired.
By the State.—Morgan .gave no reason to Bossiter

and as soon as 1 got the piistol Rossiter knocked Mor
gan down, l.vfaa atXtossjter’s house after lie was shot
by Morgan,' I was one of the wen who took him
li me. I said to deceased* Johnny,- Morgan ought
not to have shot you. I told him that if Morgan had
not have shot I woiild have arrested him (Rossiter)
and there would have been no more blows struck. I
drank liquor that-day. -1 had three or four drinks be r
tween one and twq o’dock. - It was about two o’clock,
perhaps a little after, when Morgan and I passed Ros-
sit***house. J don't-recollect telling Mr£ Iiossiter
that Morgan had .shot’ bos husband in cold blood.
Morgan never told me that he had' iiny malice or ill-
feeling towards. Rossiter. Morgan did not tell me
why he made the remarks about Bossiter’s house. I
did notsaf toany person that I held Rossiter by the
coat when Morgan shot him. I did not say that I
held either Oho of them at (bp tiige of the shootiag.
I did not hold deceased at anytime. * Before ho was
shot I stepped between them and put my hand against
his breast, and he stepped hack about two paces. 1
do not swear! that Shea • did not see the shooting at a
"distance. I did not toll a watchman under the Bluff
hat L held Rossiter when Morgan shot him.
Annie Grier, sworn and, saith f I heard John W. Shea
tell Morgan oh the 5fcn qf November, 1868. that he ad
vised Mr. Rossiter not to follow (Morgan) out on
the street, to raise., a_quarrel with him, that Morgan
would shoot him. Rossiter’s reply was, he said that
he didn’t care a ——, that • he could shoot as well as
Morgan,; and that Rossiter went to get his pistol, but
that he did not know whether he got it or not. ,
By.the State—1 am an intimate personal friend of
Morgan’s, I live in the same house with Morgan. I
have been in the sme ijouse. with him for over six
months. I washed, ironed, iq^de, his slothes and
cooked for him.

Janies Bqorier sworn and saith: When I heard of the
down to the
raised it I halloaed at him, and he turned around and
looked at me, then turned facing the boy, put the gun
to his shoulder, took aim at the boy and fired. Ho
was as close to the lx* as ten or twelve feet I do net
recollect'whether .or not I put any paper with the moss
wadding in the gun. When Jesse fired the gnn Iwas
behind him, aud did not notice whether* the gun was
-elevated or lowered. They-were both upon level
ground. He was right in front of the boy. The boy
was.aboutas.big as bov in Court, James Mendel. I ;
did not notice : how high he .was. The boy killed .was
barefooted. I was scared, and did not notice the boy
particularly. After Jesse knocked the boy on the head,
I caught the boy by the head and- raised, him up, and
told Jesse not .to knock .him. Any. more, and my
hand got bloody from where. the hoy commenced
bleeding on the head, after Jesse struck him.. When
I took tile child by the. legs the blood from my hand
got off on hi* leg. I noticed the impression of my
oloody hand on the child’s leg afterwards. The child
was dead when I put him on Jesse’s back. Jesse
struck the child twice jqn the head with the! gun, call
ing him.a rebel—rr:—r-T-—— . The child was
laying flat upon his back when I got up to him. He
was crying when I got up to him, and making an effort
i© get up. I tried to assist him to get up. Jesse came
and shored me away and . picked up the child’s gun
and struck him on the head with the butt of it, The
gun had dropped close ta the child’s feet Thechild’s
head was on the ground when Jesse struck him the
first blow. It had fallen there when Jesse* shoved me
away. He struck the child, on the side of the head,
above the eye.; He struck two blows,nne right after,
the other. He struck with the butt of the gun. The,
blows were given, in quicks succession. ‘After
the blows .the child Jay .odtiL <£Ee made: no
sign o£ilife. I .noticed then that the child was dead.
The blood flew from the child’s head when the blows
were struck, and some of it got on Jesse’s pants’ leg.
He was standing right over the child when he struck
the blows. About three minutes after: the blows he
told me to put the child on his back, and .carried him?
off to the grove of trees. He took a powdeeflask from •
1 child, phd a shot bag, and put them in his
’a) pocket- He did not .take the bird bag off the -
then; fi.e may have done so in the; grove. The
boy wae standing up and walking when .Jesse shot
him. He was coming on towards Jesse, and was about
half-face turned to him, when. Jesse .shot. When the
boy’s body was hid, Jesse took both the guns. Jesse
wantcdlo sell the boy’s gun to me that same Monday
night. ,-1 told him.that I had no money.
he waa,going io sell the gun any how. The boy’sgun
was not so long as the gnn in Court. It waa/S little
smaller jtom the usual size.of double-barrelled guns,.
By the Prisoner—I, uo not recollect how the boy was
dressed. I was so .scared that I did not notice what
he had on. Jesse* hid the, gun under a log in the
woods, on Thursday, and wanted me to go back that
night with him and get it, and to get the cow that we
had killed that day. It was late in the evening, just
before dark, that the boy was killed; the .ran'was
down.
By the Gourt—This man, Jessie, is the man who shot
Savannah.

EXAMINATIOM OF JESSE WATKINS.
The Court "then took lip thocasp of Jesse "Watkins,
negro, charged- with the murder of Charlie Wilson,
on the 31st of August, 18GH. Jesse is a black negro
with a bad countenance, and looks guilty whether he
is or not. He was dressed lu an old army overcoat,
and acted in an uneasy manner during the investiga-
* tiou.
Hon. D. A.O’Byme; Cql. D. P. Holland, Hon. Julian
Hartridge, and Acting Solicitor B. W. Bussell appeared
for the State. : I ,, i

about ten o’clock, I met Jesse by Mias Anderson’s

up to Mr. Darien's to buy the powd6'r and shot I
bought the powder and shot myself. Alter I bought
the powder and shot, I loadsd the gun out on the rail
road. Jesse bad the gun. I gave It to him after load-
ing It. We then wont outback of No. 16"battery, back
of Mr. Tenack's farm. Jesse was about ten paces
ahead of me. He had told me that he was going to
shoot a cow to sell to the butcher. About thirty-yards
from Mr. Tenaokbi fence, §jiJ gear 16 battery, we saw
the boy; a white boy. Jesse said to the boy—You
rebel—n —-—3 . what are you doing here?
The child never said a word to him.-1 made answer ' -
JeBseandsald—What are you cursing him for? ]
said to me to hush my mouth, that he would show
the c—. rebel —^ —as —-r -—, what he was doing out
here. At that moment the pun waa fired by Jesse.
Watkins, aad thhehita fall and said O. Lord I After
this I stepped ahead of Jesse aud said—What did you
do that ior, the child never done you nothing. I went
lip to the child and tried to hold him up. The child
was crying and was not dead yet.- Jesse came up
and shoved the child out of "my hand and
knocked bint on fhe head; He; picked-up the
child’s gun enfi struck h(m on the head
with the buft of it.' It was a double-barreled shot
gun. It was not a vary large nor a .very small gun.
After that he puUed the child up aud told me to put
him on my shoulder. I took hold of the child by both
legs, near the feet, and put him on Jesse’s shoulder.
He carried him to a Utile heap of pine saplings—a
" kind of a grove. He put the Voy down on the ground
and put a little straw over him. He then came away.

so that I could see wfiere he laid the boy. I was

down. After that, in coming to on- the road, * tried
to shame him. I told.- him—"Jesse.’’ said L “you

nothing. He said, ’H don’t care. ^ The nlggerB in
Georgia don't know nothing, and was always down

We domot know what trainH carry the mails,
Sometimes the mails are sent bythenccorr-

press trains; which pass here near 12 o’clock
at’night, going west, About t\yn houi-s after
another express train, with mails, sometimes
returns east. The express trains do not stop
unless signaled for passengers, consequently
there has b>en and will be much' uncertainty
in getting and sending our mails by toe night
trains. On Friday last toe train haying toe
