Illljsf - ; . ~ 1 * *- 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 rian tribes- ' ' 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' smoothly, and so well was it presented'that Miss Thompson had to respond to the enfou-; Elastic “calm of foe }jons|” during thq qyen- ^he dramatic history of the immortal Timo thy Toodles was next presented.^ Mr.,Ham- aon’s representation of the character-pf that victim of the foibles of a wife, 'was most ex cellent.

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.

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 Capt. iGeil’a gate, oa Waters’. Roiv from Thunderbolt road at the Toll gate, to 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 ed into the foml end eonintenoed a rapid fire upon the white wen.

Ho climbed the fence into the yard of the small house mentioned above, where he probably received the last wound, and - fell, into a ditch, i Frederick.. Buckman was shot in the gb,donjon,' leg and- shoulder, In retreating, he ealled upon Mas- 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 try police!” “Come out, you red-headed 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.

At Broadbacker's place, on Lover’s Lane; yesterday morning, there was great excite ment Men from the city were constantly arriving,, and conversation turned on. the tragic affair, in every, group. In tbi * dancing hall the body of the mi lay upon the table, stretched out npon rasa. He was~dressed in thefisdSTsuit by deceased, the face being covered with a cloth.

It .was a most ghastly sight ; the eyes were wide open, but set in the stare of death ; and over the right eye was the wound inflicted by the bntt of the gun. Of all hor rible wounds that ever came under ciur ob servation, this presented the moft'feufe^ sickening sigh t CORONER’S INQUEST. ■Dr. T. C. Harden, GOroner, was notified of the occurrence, and on his arrival on the ground, he at once proceeded to hold nn in quest on the body. A jury was summoned, as follows : J. H. Esfill, S. E. Byek, George P. Gray, Bachman A. Borchert, William E. Parr, and William O. Price, Jr. Mr. J. H. Estill was ohorieu as Foreman.

We were to meet a party at the toll gate to perform patrol or police duty. We met the party at the toll gate, on the Skidaway Shell Road, in, Chatham county. The persons who composed, the party which was to perform police or' patrol dnty, were Jacob Klein, Henry Mastick, Mr. Venn, Frederick Hlrt, Frederick Brickman,. John Quint,; Mr. Ohl. Fritz Broadbacker, - and my self, George : Wagener. Wo- all wilked dp 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 ; —.

Mr. Broadbacker was a member - ot that pobce force, and was in the. discharge of his ggtyj last night fjeriry Tt. Stiisilcte stfiorn, anil sailU:—I was one. o.f the. special p.oliceinen ojC’dhty’.Tfist. 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. -—=— »n . Mayor"* Court. Hon. E. C. Anderson. Mayor, Presidteg. i Saturday, December 5, 1868. John, Hanson, a. whits man, took a walk through the market on Friday; night, saw a comfortable looking pig hanging from tbe end of a countryman’s' cart, which pleased bis fancy, .and,.fraying a taste for pork, he shouldered, the pig and carried it off. John : had gone. some distance on his. jonrney to wards bis home and fireside, when a police man stepped np and inquired what price haji been paid for the hog. As John was unable to answer satisfactorily, he and the pig were taken to the Barracks. John half confeRSe'd his gnilt, and was serit to hoard with Mr. Waring Russel for thirty days., ■Joseph Moore, a representative of the only “loir race' ip the South, went on a Radical drunk, arid"brought np in the street, where he was found by a policeman. Joseph was fined three dollars for his exhibition of vice and immorality. - i . . Carrie Henebo, colored, was accused of disorderly conduct pi, foe hoifise of "witness. The oftsa was coritteiied until Monday, for the purpose or obtaining ofoer testimony. E. Bryant, a great, strapping negro wench, with a month like a whale, andriot quite so beantifril as an hoari, was up again for licen tious conduct in the streets. She was fined three dollars for using the public thorough fares for: improper purposes, Not being pro vided with tfrs necessary amount of legal " tenders, Elizabeth "was sent to jail. Gfreen Boss, a negro boy in foe employ of Mr. William C-oolidge; helped himself to the knives, forks, spoons, 4?-, belonging to that gentleman. The case was' turned over : to ■Lieutenant Wray for investigation; and that officer-soon ascertained that a negro boy who was a witness against the accused, was as. bad as foe thief, and had been concerned in sev eral pilfering operations. Roth boys will , probably fterva a, term upon ..foe pnblic streets; as honorary members of the chain gang.' ' , Disorderly Crowd of Neoroes Abrested. —- Last Saturday night, about twelve o’clock, a crowd of negroes in an old bonse in Jones’ field, east of-he city, were having a shouting, at which they were so disorderly and created 1 so much' turn. It that the police ha,d to go and quiet them. Lieut. Bell, Sergeant Moran, Policemen Morgan, McGlohan and Wdlham, went to the place, and‘arrested twenty-six men and four women, whom they conveyed to the Barracks. The change of quarters put snch a damper npon. their spirits that they did riot shout any more.
