Ire Theatke.—Syeare really glad to note
the feet that the citizens are coming out well
in support of the Theatre. The audience on
Saturday night was composed of our best
people, and the seats were pretty well filled
up. The play of the evening was Ingomar,
(neither Shakspeare’s nor Sheridan Knowles’
versions! with Miss Charlotte Thompson and
Mr. Sutton in the principal characters; The
play was well put upon the stage; the scenery
being particularly good, especially the one
jegraaeritiqg the encenjpmeAt of the barba

Miss Thompson, as “Barthenia,” was really
Splendid; her impersonation of the character
vas one of foe frest foat we have ever seen.
Mr. J. P- Sutton apDeafe'd 'as the barbarian
chief and Hero Qf foe pi%y, Tngomar." Mr.
Snttop is qpe of the pest actors in the com
pany, and he filled the part admirably; his
acting was very fine, careful gn4 natural,
with the exception, perhaps, of his exits from
the stage after some of the. pathetic .parts,
•which were a little “stagey.” Mr. Harrison,
as "Polydor,” a miser, was one of the great
features of the play. In his line of charac
ters he is unexceptionable. Mr. J. W-. Fox
appeared as “Myron,” the fsther of “fsrthe-
ipa,” and ryas gqod at times, :whUe at others
pe’would' neglect to rise bis voice in a man
ner suited to the character. Mrs. Cole was
good, as she always is. .The play went oft'

Full Particulars of the Bloody Affair,
and Proceedings of the Coroner’s In
quest.
Again it becomes our painful duty, as chron-
iclers of pnblic events • which occur within
and around our fair city, to present to onr
readers the particulars of one of the most
bloody and brutal transactions that ever occur-
ed in this vicinity; but which are all too com
mon now throughout the length and breadth
of our once happy South. The war of races,
so long threatened, really appears to be cul
minating. There is no longer any safety to
the peaceful citizen who has made his home
without the city, or to those who nse the pub
lic highways. Armed and organized bands
of brutal and bloodthirsty negroes abound
throughout the country; and instigated in
their hellish deeds by the teachings of em-
missaries sent here for the very purpose of
creating disturbance, they act like madmen;
or, lire ravening wolves, thirsting for blood,
and ready and watchful to spring npon their
prey any moment when it is safe for them
selves so to do.
The attention of many of our readers was
attracted by the report of fire-anus, apparent
ly in the southeastern section of the city,
about a quarter to eleven o’clock on Satur
day night; but none knew the meaning of it
until yesterday morning, when it became
rumored throughout the city that one of our
respected citizens, -Mr. Frederick Broad-
backer, had been murdered by negroes whilst
in the discharge of his duty as a special
police officer, regularly appointed by the
Mayor of this city; and that several other
citizens, had been badly wounded. Many
conflicting stories were afloat, and the public
mind was much excited thereby. We have
endeavored to collect every fact in connec
tion with the terrible tragedy, that wo may
present a full and correct account it; and iu
doing so, we give as a preliminary a short
sketch of
THE SPECIAL POLICE.
Within a circuit of a mile or two around
the city, a number of industrious people,
mostly Germans, have settled, and pursued
the business of gardening; and it is mainly
the results of their honest labor that keeps
our market supplied with vegetables, fruit,
4c. Thrifty, skilled in the details of suc
cessful fanning, they have made what were
once waste places, to bloom and blossom all
the year round^ with the verdure of .spring.
As a class they are th.e most peaceable and
quiet of citizens, never disturbing any per
son, nor interfering in any manner with the
rights or privileges of others. Ever since the
negro has been made one of the political ele
ments of the country, and taught that it was
right that the white man should toil and the
negro reap the fruits of his labor; that he
should scorn honest industry and become a
vagabond, or -‘live gentlemans” as he styles
it, these gardeners have found it almost im
possible to rajse any produced Their bloom
ing, fields were ravaged and laid waste by
night; the skulking thief was ever around to
steal their poultry,. or the marauding vaga
bond to shoot their cows, Rqt content with
this, the vagabond negroes nightly assembled
upon the roads, and by firing of gnns,
whooping and yelling, annoyed the people
beyond endurance. The police force of the
city, scarcely strong enough'to guard the
thickly inhabited portions of the city, could
do nothing lor them, and at last they applied
to Mayor Anderson for relief, offering to serve
in any manner or capacity that he might
direct Nearly all the 'white men residing on
Thunderbolt road, on Waters’ road and Lover’s
Lane, were organized into a volunteer special
police force, for th.e pi'qteQtio.n of the sub
urbs and outskirts of the city, regularly sworn
in, and Mr. Nicholas Geil appointed as Cap
tain, For some time past they have been in
the hahit rif patrolling the woods' and fields
at night, an4 hoeq uOWPOrqlivcly se
cure frorq. tjepre^tiuus and annoyance. The
negroes, prevented by this from pursuing
their theivish practices, looked npon the spe
cial police force with deadly hatred, and
determibedj as the sequel will show, to re
venge themselves upon the men who were
forcing them to be in some degree honsst.
At times the dwellings of these men, isolated
as they are frbm'efi°h ’other, and scattered
about as IS usual in country places, have
been ^surrounded late at night by gangs of
negroes, who uttered dire threats of‘ven
geance against the occupants, whjeh thqy said
they would execute lyheq the tjme should ar
rive, . Tlra people 'were somewhat, ap
prehensive of trouble,’ observing the bad feel-
teg of the negroes, but, as nothing occurred,
were lulled into a feeling of security.
- COUNTRY negroes COMING TO TOWN.
It fine beep observed QU our streetH that the
usual crowd qf cpqntry negroes who come in
here on Saturdays to make purchases and
carouse, have latterly always been armed.
Marching along' the streets^ dressed ift frit
tered United' States uniform, and bearing
upon his' shoulder -an old musket, and en
deavoring tq make himself as conspicuous as
possible, the negro has always appeared more
a subject for laughter than dread. Others
bore their arms lndd er t aiyay m their gar
ments, but few'were there who did not carry
some sort of weapon. Qn Saturday nights
they would leave the city for home, and'gen
erally assembled iri large gangs at the head of
Thunderbolt road, where, in the nnmerons
grog shops abounding in that 'region, it. has
been their custom to drink and caro.usa, and
• create such a tumult as to disturb citizens re
siding upm
the city pot. . t .
tured one of these 'di
occurrence probably stimulated their anxiety
to revenge themselves upon the “country
police.” as they, prilled the special force.
§A|C§D4f HOUSING LASS
Very many negroes came to town. One gang
of them while on the way in, halted in front
of the dwelling of Mr. Spears, on Thunder-
Haiir
bolt road,' just beyond the toll gate, and fired
two or: three shots -mteithe hqirae. They
then Cried ont that they wanted to see the
country poliee wben they returned at night;
thus giving proof of a settled purpose, a well
understood and organized plan to'haven dis-
trirbanoe as soon aa night should throw its
dark mantle wound them.
SATURDAY NIGHT
Was exactly suited to their murderous jmr-
pose. It was cloudy, dark, and threatening
iairi; the m’oon did not rise until a late hour,
and it was cioubtfiii fhether it waujjd shine at
all or not, Everything was favorable for the
complete success oftfiejr murderous plans,
and they evidently carried them ont accord
ing to a preconcerted arrangement.

THE SCENE OF THE OCCURRENCE.
A few hundred yards after passing the
bridge over Bilbo’s canal, on the Thunderbolt
road, is the brow of the hill which descends
to the canal. A few yards beyond the sum
mit of the hill tlie road is,- for a abort dis
tance, lined with trees, there being seven or
eight standing in a row on oach side of the
road. A small frame house stands back from
tlie highway, and is tehabited'. by colored
people. .Beyond ‘this, place there are! two'or
three bouses in close (proximity, arid- about
one hundreebyards distant from it js jhe toll
gate. It was directly in front of the picket
gate leading into the yard of this small house
that Broadbacker was killed.
THE. PLACE YESTERDAY.
We visited the scene of the occurrence yes
terday morning. The road was lined with
people on their way out to ascertain the par
ticulars of the night’s tragedy. In front of
the house above mentioned the place was well
marked with the life blood of the dead man.
Huge clots of gore lay thick arpund, and the
ground was literally-soaked with blood. A
crowd of negroes stood gazing at it, some of
whom, perhaps, were looking upon their owri
work.
J ■ ON lover’s LANE - "*• *■ •
There was also great excitement. Numbers
of people were coming out from the city,
police, detective and county officers were on
the fepot. Many’threats of vengeande for the,
bloody dried were being uttered, while the.
friends of the murdered man bewailed his
loss. The crowd centred at Broadbacker's,
and from members of - the patrol we gained a
statement of the affair varying in some
measure from the One given above.
WHAT THE PATROL MEN SAY.
From the many statements given us, we
compile the following, as reliahle:
The patrol had 'been ‘ordered

Lover’s Lane) at ten o'olook, bnt, previous to
that time, Henry H. Mastick; resi(ling : on
Lover's Lane, incompaUy with George'Wage-
ner, Btarted out. They went to the house, of
Mr. Verni,' were joined by him, and proceeded
to the.toll gate, where they found Frederick
Broadbacker, Jacob Klein, Frederick Rurt,
Frederick Brickmnn, John Quint and Joseph
Obi. The party, icamnosedlofi.mne persons,
was taker) cbinufeWd of by Mxsticlc. They
patrolled about for a time and finally con
cluded to separate and go borne, Mastick
and Wageder bad striked off, leaving Brohd-
backer and tl)e Others, fit the toll gate, when
they were signalled to come back. On re
turning they beard a great noise down the
road, towards town, appearing to' come from
Schuyler’s liquor store. This was about a
quarter to eleven o’clock. They all started
down the road, and when a little more than a
hundred- yards from' the toll gate, they met
five or six negroes. Broadbacker went up,
took bold* of one ana asked him who' it
that had made such' a noise along
the road. The negro said that fc«.
did not know, and Brof\dt»cker turned
hiin;Over to Mastjob, and sate wxaV h° would
arrest another. VJ^e stepped forward a few
paces, and caught hold of another of the ne
groes, when one of them plaoed the muzzle
of a gun within a very short distance of his
face and fired. Broadboc.k'Or fell ;o the ground
and sometblrty. dr forty negroes then jump

tick to help hire, bfltthelatter r'epliedthat he
was also \vohnded, and he/told Brickman to
drop into the bushes and remain quiet until
he could be taken away. Mastrfk then struck
across thfr f.Uds. hid ribcSit some time,: and,
.finally came lout on the lane, where he.found
that some ten or fifteen negroes had preceded
him. After whooping arouqd fO r gome time
they went to Vafin's hpuee; v^hieh they threat-
-ened to burn doyh, rind actually lit matches,
as though to.'.execute then: threats. They
came op to Ipistick’s hftflrie, where they yell
ed—‘f Coins ont here again, you-—^ coun

Mastiek!” After lingering about for some
time, screaming like demons, tliey went off.
The others retreated across the fields and
reached their homes. After waiting for some
time they met together, and rgtiipped to look
after-the wounded.
THE BRUTALITY OF THE 'NEGROES.

ground, mangled Bind hleedjftS.. Qfiri Of fhem

While every negro appeared to be armed

and. down'the Shell road until about a quar
ter to eleven o’clock at night, when we nedrd
a noise just as we were intending to go home.
The noise appeared to be near Mr.
Sehutz’s liquor store. There was con
siderablei of, a fuss there. , Mr. Broadbacker
and bis' inin whistled to us to 'cOihe back to
the Toll gate. We went oack and found
Broadbacker’s party aga We walked a
short distance towards town, and met a party
of about five or six negro men. Broadbacker
walked up to them and caught hold of one of
the. negroes, and asked him who made the
noise; The negro said I don’t know. Mr.
Broadbacker tokl^Mr. Mastick and'myself to
hold the man that he had caught, arid/he
would- get another one. AS soon as Mr.
Broadbacker Stepped away from ns, a large
party of negroes came up toward us ; and as
soon as Broadbacker got bold of another ne
gro man the negroes commenced firing upon
ns. The first shot fired by the negroes killed
th deceased, Mr. Broadbacker. After that the
ehegroes all commenced firing ripon "us,' , and
we returned the fire. There were only
four . or. five of our party, who had fire-arms.
Two had gnns and the other three
revolvers. As soon as onr-ammunition was
exhausted we retreated through the field on
the south side of the road. I heard the ne
groes shouting and screaming, anil calling to
ns—come back again,, you ; —. I
heard one negro say—O! leave that mhn
alone, he’s gone noiv. Another said—I-want
revenge on the . I heard this
while \ve .were retreating... After the crowd
of'hegfoes went;off, three of tis went back to
the Shelf road, anifThere we met two. others
of oui party. Mr. Klein, l^r. (»hl and, my
self wenthaek to see whether, there was any
wounded. ; 'We heard- somebody: haUbeing,
We baited several times to listen and ascer
tain whether, it was any quo, of qnr party.
Somebody whistled—i pehevp (it; tyas , Air.
Brickman, arid halloed—Wlfturi oteboys—I’m
a friend, IVe walked up to him and found
him lying in the field, a little (way off from
the Shell road, grounded." He fold us to get
a wagon and carry him home. Mr. Ohl and
myself went to Mr. Broadbacker’s house arid
got a wagon, and brought .them home.
Broadback we found lying dead in the road.
Quint !\riS earned to Mr. Hirt’s house, , He
was wounded. Mr: Mastick was wounded
and walked home.
I saw Mr. Mastick this morning, and be
was wounded. .. : .
The killing qf Mr. Rroadhacker was on the
5th qf December,' 1806, about’ 11 o’clock.
The crowd was so large, and it was so very.
dark that I did not see Mr. Broadbackot fab.
There were at least thirty. qv.jca'tyAiegroep.
He was a little ahead Of'our-party,' 'about
twenty (§6.4 in-advance of us. After we re
treated, one of the negroes followed Mr.” Hirt
into the field, and shot at us five or six times.
The firing sonnded as though done with a
pistol. The negroes' were coming out of
town when we met them, They were making
a great deal o,f disturbance. The negroes
fired first upon «& They, all s.^enffd fo h®
qrme.d, judging by their shfioflngV Uur party
were acting as spacial police, appointed by
the Mayor Of Savannah, and all except' myself
and Mr- Hirt had city police’ badges on.
Sixty or seventy shots were fired at us. I
know, of my own knowledge, thftt there is a
special police fproe o.uf iii ' this neighbor
hood, topresfb-ye tho peftce in the ' suburbs
of the.city: fin'd protect the publie roads, 4e.

night,"tlie 5tU of December,-18GS. '-I.was iu
company- with- Fredericfi fir part hacker,- and
others, f There were' nine of us altogether.
We went from my house, and up through the
toll gate, towards town. We heard some
noir.e on the road,' just at. the time we had
concluded to break up’ and-return home-
There was a crowd of negroes coining np,
whooping and yelling, and we went towards
them- Deceased, some one of oqr party-and
myself stopped one of the negroes, and Ar
rested hiin- Broadbacker left mb, and went
ahead towards the crowd of negroes, rind I
heard the firing of guns. From fifty.to one
hundred shots were fired. At that time I still
had one of the negroes in my custody. I Was
; shot then in three places. . (Wounds exhibit
ed.) I tried to carry off the negro. that L lied
to secure arid keen' him os a prisoner, but
could not do jt. Brickman told me^that ho
was shot, and asked me to help him. He
said—Mastick, come and help me, I am shat.
. I said—Brickman, I am shot ihyaftlfV lopk out
lor yourself ga well ft® you can. I 'did not
know Hurt Broadbacker was killed until this
iribrning. fitter I was shot, 1 went towards
my, house. When I got near Verm’s house, I
heard negroes curse and abuse ; him, and
threaten-to. set his house on fire. They halt
ed there, and struck matches. They went
along the road efiraingr whooping and yell
ing, and said, Ocome out, you police,
you!’-’ When they'got to my bonse they
said, “come out,’ you -—- red-headed Mas
tick!” I have no idea how many negroes
were present when the firing first occurred.
It was very dark. There were about fifteen
in the party who came down to Yenu’-R house
and mine, after the firing, i WftS eiose to this
party, hj\t tfiey did riot see me. The shot
which struck m e - crime from the’crowd of ne
groes towards which Mr. Broadbacker,went.
I was shot while I w(w holding tfiri .R0gw>* 1
think sqnifi qf the shot struck him. as fie cried
ont as if ho was hurt. The firing came from
all directions in front of irs. I saw where the
shot which struck me came from. I saw the
man standing on the right hand side of the
road- I think tfie sam e man shut me and
RrioliHiftn. .Rruailhacker went towards the ne
gro by himself. The gnu which shot me was
loadedwith buckshot. The shot came from the
north sidg of the_8kifiawfty ; Shell road., (.The
negroes were coming from town when wemet
them. The road was fnll of men. Their con
duct .was very .violent. I think that tfiey
were country, negroes belonging on the farms
around the city, X was in charge of the Police
’force. Mr. Broadbacker acted nnder my
orders, we conducted onrselveste.a quiet find
peaceable manner in the perforraftbee of' Onr
duty. We me tfie negrogs. pocanre for. fin
attack upon qs. Ii thep had not filed upon
Us firsf. : 'We would not have firedupon them.
Our only object in being out was to preserve
the publio peace. The general conduct of the
negroes to this neighborhood has been pretty-
bad; which was the reason why we asked
Mayor Anderson to organise tfie special
police forae
Joseph Old swtmt and saUhi I was present
when Mr. Broadbacker was killed; about
eleven o’clock last night. He was killed by a
negro. The negro w;as within a few yards of
him.' I was about seven or eight stupa from
Broadbacker when he was killed. The negro
was very close to him.- He was shot with a
gun. I saw the' flash when he fired. I saw
Art- Broadbacker foil. There were at least
thirty or forty shots fired by the negroes.
The L st shot was fifidby a negro. Four of
our party were shot—three were wounded
and one"killed.
The jury having heard this evidence retir
ed fo- deliberation, and returned a verdict as
folio-. : •yJSS.a/' A .
“Wc. the jury, find from the evidence given
before ns, that the deceased, Frederick
Broadbacker, came to bis death while in the
discharge of his duty as a special policeman.^
on the Thunderbolt road, in the county of
Chatham, from gunshot wounds to the head,
receiv'd from a giro in theiinuds of a negro,
one o" a party who were disturbing the peace
on Ti mderbolt iShcll road; and we earnestly
reeom lend that the State-and county an-
thoritie; take action iu order to protect the
citizens’of tbis county from the brutalities of
the negro population.”
THE DECEASED. 1
Frederick Broadbacker, the victim of this
terribly, tragic affair, was a native of Germa-'
ny,' tuid was bprn ; near the city" of Mayence,
on the i ffiine, in Hesse Darmstadt. He was
thirty-t'. t) yeriK and fivenioriths old, and bad
been to this country eleven years. He came
over] here and remained a year.' theri returned
to Mayence, was married, and retnmed.back
with his wife. He has long-been known os a
market gardener, and bis place on Lover’s
Laneins always been a favorite' .resort. He
had erected a fine saloon there, which he
kept to the German style, had a handsome
dancing hall, arid his place was much fre
quented by citizens. . He was a, quiet find
peaceable man, a member of the Germania
Fire Company, of the TnmVerein Socjfity and
De-Kalb Rifles.' He leaves a wifo and four
children, the youngest being bat four months
old.' He was much respected to the commu
nity, and a favorite among the Germans.
THE OTHER WOUNDED MEN—THFm-CONDITION.
. Jphn Quint is also a gardener. It will ‘,b£
remembered,.that during a heavy thunder
storm lust summer, his house was* strack by
lightning, and one of his children killed.
Quint is; mortally 'wounded, rind was con
sidered past recovery last night. 1 1"
Frederick Brickman is also a gardener, re
siding on Lover's Lane. He was te a very
bad condition, rind should lie recover) which
is doubtful, he will probably be crippled for
life; Tbe wound was so small that it could
not be probed.' Both men are being-attended
by.Dr. Read!. i
(Mastick was not very badly wounded, and
althongh suffering considerable pain, was
able to be about yesterday.
THE .PARTY-OF'MURDERERS -
Was composed of country negroes ’ entirely;
and they marched off down the country, after
accomplishing their deadly purpose. There
may have been some of the Bryan Row vaga
bonds among them.
” ' INDIGNATION AMONG CITIZENS.
The tragedy created great excitement and
indignation among the citizens, especially
among the German population. Woe to any
party or gang that attempts any such thteg
hereafter.
MEASURES TOR SAFETY.
We have time and again called , npon the
City Council • to provide a special: force,- of
mounted men, for the protection of the ont-
skirts of the. city. Such a force, to be , em
ployed day and night, is imperatively needed,
and should be organized at once. The city
•and county should nnite in this project, and
have no. delay ftbout it Ourpubbo highways
are no longer.safe; it is dangerous to reside
•without the cityj- in the present condition of
affairs. Snch a force, would cause these ne
groes to villainous, .murderous
acts, by mfikiiog it unsafe for them to commit
crime., Bnt above all should we strive to se
cure the emigration of white '• men, of Ger
mans, Scotch and Irish, to this section, that
the country may become thickly settled with
white wen.
We have presented the details of this fear
ful occurrence at length. The'statements" of
all parties prove it to have been a regularly
organized plot to murder; ; .The patrol guard,
part of them arme'd, 'were ambuscaded and
Bhot down without provocation, arid even the
dead body was lacked arid beaten. The "ne
groes lay in the bushes with murder in their
hearts; and they perpetrated one of the most
fearful crimes ever heard of in this section. •
May they be brought to justice is the prayer
of citizens; and, though they may escape for
a time,, sooner or later “murder will out;”
and the punishment is sure to come.

shouldered, the pig and carried it off. John
: had gone. some distance on his. jonrney to
