A dog , u Lhe premises of Alderman Con-

He then proceeds to direct all officers

of the State in maintaining tie peaceful i*o»-
s.aston of the rood till further orders.
This documsut makes a wretchedly bad
showing lor the Governor and the crowd
plnndereis who have fastened upon the body
politic. That whole Brunswick and Albany
Road was a wicked, plundering scheme,
a fraud upon tho people of Georgia —the per-
pet rulers of which deserve the severest pun
By means best known to themselves they
procured a State endoroenu-nt of $15,000 p
mile. The road runs through a country
nearly level- requiring but vtry little grad
ing -ab’.nndiug with the greatest at
..f the very boat timber, and could
much to build it. Occasionally the
»wauip, but we learn that Mr. Kimball ha.*-
gone round them considerably, end h
aiade the road very crooked—all for the pur-
I*omj of spinuing out as many mil
•uble. >Yo think it not unlikely that th<
cost of construction nud equipment is
much, if any more than $15,000 per in
sn.1 it is a stretch of the credulous to nupp
such uu KudurM-mcut was obtained from
la*gi*»lftf are and approved by tho Governor
But the most astounding transaction
that the Legislature afterwards was induce
to |Ntss an act, and the Governor to approve
it, granting an additional endorsement of
*8,000 for mile—taking as its only security
a see->nd mortgage ou tho road for $10,000
per mile.
This bill wss approved 17th October, 1870.
It sots out with a ichereas, that to provide tbs
uectssary rolling stock, piert*. whai
ion presses, Ac., to tit tho road to
tho eastern section of the Great Southern
Pacific R 1L, an outlay ot at least fifty thou
sand dollars per mile” will be required; th
the road, when completed, will be folly woith
ihat sum, and bw an ample sscurlty ft
bonded debt of It least $25,000 per mile.
Ibis, of course, is a tig falsehood, peri*e-
trated intentionally.
The whureAs harps upon the importance of
securing to Georgia the Eastern terminus ol
the Great Southern Pacific Railroad, and re
peals so much of the first act as requited the
Treasurer to endorse the bonds, and makes it
ibe duty ot tho Governor to do tba:
giving no reason for the change.
It then provides for the road to deliver to
the Governor its bonds to the amount of
$2,350,000, covering a second mortgage of
Uie road to the State, of $10,000 per mile
the whole road when fully completed; and
Unit the Governor shall deliver to the Com-
|»uuy bonds of the Slate, nt the rate of $8,
per tuilo us fust as every ton miles of the r
are completed and lu running order. ’
endorsement of first mortgage bonds is to be
made as fast as every ten mileH are completed
and equipped.
The* road was intended to be 235 miles long.
This, at $10,000 per mile, requires $2,350,000
of the company’s bonds to be issued, which
the law nquirestobe deposited with th-
Treasurer, ns security for the Mata's endorse
meat ol $8,000 per mile, which would make
the whole amount of eudorsed bonds $1,880,-
000 wLeu the road is completed. As yet,
only $655,000 of the company's bonds La
turn deposited in tho titalo Treasury, while
llie whole $1,880,000 ol State bonds have
h*rn duly executed, signed and sealed, nud
delivered to tho Governor. Also, tho whole
of tho bonds for tho lull length of the road,
for the first endorsement of $15,000 per
mile, have boon duly evocutod, sealed and
delivered to the Governor.
It has long been susjh cle«l that Governor
Bullock has delivered to Mr. Kimball th.
whole of llit-He bonds, in advance of the
building of the road, and im violation of the
law which requires them to be delivered as
every ten miles are cotupi. ted, and the Gov
ernor’s proclamation gives strong confirma
tion of this belief. Why does ha wnru per
sons that the bends endorsed by the Stats
will not be r* roguizcd as valid till hw ha*
certAin proofs wh:ch be nauit-s?
ll Lt* has delivered the bonds to Mr. Kim
ball according to law, why need he care who
has them, or whether certain debts dae by
the road are paid or not? If he haa allowed
them to be used contrary to law, his conduct
can be understood. Why does he appoint
unmberof eminent lawyers to ascertain thsss

Gnus Bat, Wis , October 14.
In company with other people who had
been driven from their homes in the interior
of tho Stste by the dreadful fires of the pre
ceding week and more, I reached this city
last Wednesday, hoping to find my husband,
from whom I had become separated in the
woods when the smoke was so thick that it
was impossible for ua to see each olher^wheu
we weru a few faet apart. • • • It seems
strange to me. nowthat I can recall so vividly
all that passed during that frightfol afternoon
and the night which followed it, aud yet it is
all impresaed on my mind in colors which
can never be obliterated. But perhaps I
beginning at the wrong end of my story,
which you must not expect to find at all at-
tistio or elaborate. Indeed, I would not have
written it stall had not Mr. Wilson, who has
so kindly cared for me since my arrival
Green Bay, had not told me that I ought
let the people know what hardships hundreds
and, as I hear, thousands of men and women
and oven poor little innocent children have
undergone up here in the Northwest, for both
b«- and I believe that, in some respects, my
misery was paralleled by that of others.
On the morning of the 11th of this m<
just as we were sitting down to take break-
rrde'tnp- last, Mr. Richardson, a neighbor of oars,
came running into the house and told Ur.
Uecband that he must come out immediately
and see what could bo dene. During the
night the wind had risen, but not so greatly
as to amount to anything like a gale, but
rather did it resemble the ordinary fall wind.
Mr. Mecband did net soem at all uneasy, and
leisurely swallowed his breakfast before fol
lowing Mr. Richardson, who had dissppered
ou as he had stuck his head into the
i and called my husband. Mr. Mechaud
into the woods and stayed till*about
i, when be came running back and sal'
that ho had climbed up to the top of Brown 1
Hill, where the wind was blowing a gale, and
from there had seen tho fire which was com
ing towards ns at a tremendous pace. In
deed I had feared as much and bad b^«n
ceedingiy uneasy all the morning, for
smoke which for dAys had been in the valley
where we lived had become mors and mure
i, and occasionally hot puffs of wind had
blown over the lulls, driving the smoke in a
cloud before it. I asked my hnabund
if ho thoaght there was any danger to be
*-ated; he shook his head and answered
No,” yet I knew by his lace that he wan fai
•otn being devoid of fear. He ate his din
er hastily, and then ran out again, and wa»
met at the door by a neighbor who said thst
i was advancing with frightful speed.
Indeed, the air had now become sultry
had been bsfore except on some
days in maimer immediately before tho
ing of a thunder storm. The air was stifling,
nd the smoke got into one’s lungs uud nos
trils in Huch a way as to render it exceeding
ly unpleasant. Mother sat in a corner hold
ing little Louis in her lap, nnd I noticed that
•he seemed restless, nnd that her eyes si
with a light such as I have someumos
the eyea of a wild beast, and had only
heis in the old days when she was about
to have an outburst of fury. I was fright
ened and fidgety, and didn't do anything
the right way. I went and took the boy aw
from mother, who relinquished him rea.
ly ; and then, as I had afterwards terri
ble reason to remember, nltbougb I hardly
noticed it at the time, she went to the cup
board and secreted something in the bosom
ot her dress. Mr. Mechaud stood at
door speaking hurriedly with the man whom
he bad met. when a burning branob of pine
fell at his feet. Instantly the air darkened, a
violent puff of wind rushed upon ns, and
smoke poured in volumes about the house.
Then, following the gust, a bright sheet, or
rather wall of fire, seemed to be pushed down
almost upon us, and instantly everything
iu fl lines. Mr. Mechand cried out to m
tiring Louis with me, and seized mother by
the hand, and we all four ran in terror out
into the woods ahead of us. I rau ou blind
ed aud choked by the smoke, and carrying
Louis in my arms. He was pale with terror,
and did not otter n single cry, but clung to
my neck as I hurried on, atambling and trip
ling almost at every step, bo sudden had
>eeu the rash of the fire that wo had ~~
chance of saving anything butonr lives, e*
had cared to do so. I kept calling to
my husband to keep in sight, but, poor fel
low, there was no need of doing so r for '
could see that mother was a great worry I
him, aud that he bad almost to drag her
along. Kbe kept lookiug from aide to side,
and trying to break awny from bim
then I thoaght how terrible it would be if she
honld become furious again. What ou earth
could we do with her?
Wa must have gone on in this way for at
least three miles, aud I was almost exhausted,
for Louis was a boy six years old and large
for hia age, and I had been carrying him all
the way. The treea were compact, and in
some places the undergrowth was olo»e and
stiff os wire. Mother kept getting worse,
and Mr. Mechand, who was a abort distance
ahead of Louis and me, bad the greatost dif
ficulty to maze her obey him. Presently he
stopped, and evidently was waiting for me to
come up. I put Louis down and told him
keep alongside of me, at the
taking him firmly by the hand. The fire had
come much slower than we, and I believe we
must have been at least two miles ahem
although there was no telling, for I could
> nothing behind or far before me but
smoke curling like a mist in aud out of the
trees. Behind us, indeed, it was heavier,
and looked a anllen, dirty white.
We could not have been six feet from niy
huatand when mother broke away from biai,
at d with a loud cry darted off into the woods,
and then I knew that what I had dreaded
had indeed come to pass, and that excite
ment and danger bad brought back an old
sickoe*s upon her. She was a maniac. Mr.
Mechand darted after her, and in the terror
the momeut I forgot all else and followed
him, leaving poor little Louis behind. I
must bsve been crazy to do so, but on I
rushed, and aoou saw that mother was can
ning enongh to try to escape by doubling
on her tracks, for I saw her dress dart past
the bushes at my side as she ran diagonally
away from me. I sprang after her, and after
running for about five mmntes, found to my
horror that I had not only lost her, but Louis
aud his father. Madly I tried to retrace my
taps, hut there was nothing to guide me-
10 path, no blazes on the trees. The wind
shook the trees and almost bent them doable;
the sultry air filled with smoke, and all the
horrors of my terrible condition made me
frantic. I rushed about helplessly, crying
,ni) i^Muniiu'. "fjonia! Lonis! Father?*’ Bnt
and screaming, "Louis! Louis! Father!” But
that last word made me calm for an instant,
and I felt that I was not alone—not utterly
lest in the burning woods, for the spirit of
my dead father was near and there were guar
dian angels. 1 knelt on the groand, took
my crucifix from my neck and prayed. In
kneeling down I found to my great joy that
my dress was woL 1 had knelt near a spring.
I bathed my fitce and hands, and soaked my
hair aud the nppor part of my dress. But
then my bov—my little Louis! I sprang to
feet, and calling on the Virgin to direct
dashed on in the direction of the fire. I
had not gone more than a quarter of a mile
when I found my darling standing with bead
erect, and flashing eyea filled with angry
tear*, trying to beat*»wuy soma wolves, which,
hungry though they were, seemed bent only
flight I cried, “Louia, Louis!” c’esl mot, la
e r and clasped him to my heart It was
boy, and ha w«a saved. He had not seen
father, though once he had heard a man’s
voice calling, but the voice seemed to have
come from an immense distance. "Ob, Lou-
said I, “we are lost unless we find him.
nust run for our lives.** The boy began
cry, and then I was ashamed of what I had
said, and tried to cheer him up. The fire
moat have been very near us then, for I could
not only feel ib< heated breath, but above my
head, among the tree-to|*«, sparks aud fire
brands were whirling in the air. I took Louia
in my arms, determined that never again
should he bo separated from me, and pressed
onward with some vague idea that I should
soon reach Wolf River.
Night was coming on, and since noon wo
had had nothing to eat I did not feel
hungry, but was tormented with thoughts of
what might happeu if we should not soon
reach a place of safety, for I feared that Louis
would givo out, and that was one of the ~
sons which made me carry bim. My i
ached, and my limbs were scratched, bruised,
aud bleeding. Still I made good headway,
and soon came to a natural c!t*at iag, on the
thither side of which wo sat down to rest
By this time night had come on, aud what
night! No moon, no stars, but the cloudy
heavens lighted up afar with the hoiriblo
fires of the burning woods. Tho clearing Ui
which we sat was the dried-up bed of '
stream which, for some unaccountable rt
son, had not thickly-wooded shores, and 1
were at least two hundred feet from the edge
of the forect in flames. All this time Louts,
manly little fellow that he wa*, had not even
asked for food, nor had he cried since I my
self foolishly frightened him.
We aat there a long time while I was try
ing to think where we were, but I could
come to no conclusion. I had heard my
husband speak of a stream which bad run
dry. bnt that was in a northeasterly direction
from our house, nnd notwithstanding the
foot that I was lost, yet I had a general
lion that I was approaching the Wolf river.
The stars could give me no information, for
I could not see them. What to do I scarcely
knew, but when the heat of the fire became
such that I could not doubt that it
I determined to press on away from it, and
taking Louis’s hand I sst out On ordinary
nights it should now have been dark, but
there was a nameless glare, yet net a glare, a
horrible reflet which came down from the sky
and mingled with the smoke. Hardly bad I
risen from the ground, when in the direction
of the woods ou the other side of the clear
ing, I heard a clashing noise, a mingled
gnashing and hoarse barking which I instant
ly ricoguized as that of wolves, and 1 scarce
ly had time to snatch up Louis and run be
hind a magnificent pine tree whose trunk
was at least six feet iu diameter, before I
heard them scrambling up the side of the
hill, and felt them rush by me. I looked oat
and cculd see their eyea coming towards
like the wind. They did not stop for an
slant, and when they passed there camo
ir track n herd c-f deer, uttering crive that
mtd almost human in tboir intense agony.
They ruu blindly, for something more ter
rible than wolves was behind them; they
struck the tree and were hurled back by the
shock, sums ol them fulling back upon those
below. Tho stampede seemed to last tor
n minutes, and when it was over, aud
I, trembling with fear, dared once more to
emerge from my refuge aud look across the
clearing, I saw the woods at its edge already
burning—saw it lurid through the smoke,
and felt its terrible heat upon my fsco. 1
turned and fled, iu the wake of the deer and
wolves. My shoes were stripped from my
feet, aud my ankles were torn nnd bloody.
Fallen treos lay in my way, bnt 1 clambered
and crawled under tbe-m iu my desper
ate flight 1 was agonized with terror ant]
despair, aud finally sank to the ground with
iny boy iu my arms.
1 must have fainted, for I kuc-w nothing of
rhat passed till I was rndely shaken by the
houlder and Leard a wild, gibbering laugh.
I opened my eyes, and above me stood my
uother with a drawn knife iu her hand,
woods seemed nil ablaze, although the
ras not so intolerably hot os it hail boen.
forest beyond the clearing must have
i burning at its edge and the strong wind
carrying tho smoko upward and <
heads. My mother looked down i
with eyes blazing with that bated light of
insanity.
"Ho, ho!” paid she, "fine time of night for
mother und child to be running through
the woods ! Fine night this ! Night—it is

breast.

again she seized Louis Whilo the kuife
gburned in the air.
I sprang at her, and with all the strength
ten moihers in my arms I straggled with
r. Torn, worn, and bleeding, as I was,
the thoaght of my child and my husband
gave me the strength of a giant. I over
powered the mod woman, and forgetting that
sho was my mother—that she was auj thing
but the would-be murderess of my boy—I
seized her by the throat when she was down
rolling on tho ground, and I would have
strangled her. ner insanity had almost
made me mad. I felt th--n what a murderous
maniac foels.
Bat then I thought my mother was lying
almost dead,'and powerless, and the firo
wonld soon advance and perhaps overwhelm
ns oil. My hand was stayed, and when my
mother rose to her ft ot all her wildness was
gone, aud in its place had returned that
calmness-almost imbecility—which had
characterized her for the last few years. Sho
was ready aud willing to do everything that I
told her, but I kept that knife last in my
band.
The wind had fallen, and a slight rain was
dropping among the leaves overhead as we
went on for an hour or two longer, and thou,
overpowered with exhaustion, and no longer
greatly dreading the firo, we lay down in a
hollow aud fell asleep. When we awoke it
was morning. I was sick and completely ex
hausted, and hardly knew that there
were men aronnd us. Yet there were, and
good, kind men, too, who gave ns food and
drove us to a place of shelter, whc-nce, us
i were able, we went to Greeu Bay,
here I soon recovered from the sickness
and terror of that dreadful night. My moth-
r continues in that same state of imbecility,
bich the doctor says will soon become com
plete dementia. Lonis was not long in re
covering, but as yet I have hoard nothing
from my husband. Lrcinz Mechand.
THE REIGN OF TERROR IN
SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Ku-Iilnx Inquisition In Spartan*
burg and York—A Terrible seal
Things.
The latest advices from Spartanburg
York eounties confirm tho previous repoi
that the Unitod States officials, backed by th
soldiery, have instituted a reign of terr-
Innocent citizens are dragged from their
homes in the nigtit and ttuown into jail with
common felons. Icstancts aro given where
men were torn from their families without
being allowed to make any preparations
their journey, and were forced to ride ten,
twenty and thirty miles, and then confined
in loathsome dungeons.
MOM ASlUtSn —ntVAMOUB CONDUCT OF SO Iff) ie ns
The Phoenix eaya that up to Tuesday
eighty-five persons in York had been put
jail and other arrests were making. At o
point in Union the soldiers went to a gentle
man’s house to arrest him. He was absent.
They invaded every room in his house and
earned away his private alms. Ho was a li
censed distiller. After helping themselves
freely, they poured out the residue of the
liquor on the ground.
a PJLSSJUiaEB TOXIN STOPPED— HU NTEiO
XU-KLUX.
Tho Greenville passenger train was stopped
while on its way to Columbia on Tuesday. ’
a detachment of United States soldiers
search of so-called Ku-Klux. The officers
passed through the train and inspected the
occupants, but made no arrests. This de
tention occurred near Froet’s Mill, in Rich
land county, about six miles from Columbia.
What will be the next move?
TH* SITUATION*IN YOBX.
A private letter from York, dated the 2ist
instant, says: "There is perfect terror here.
Forty of our best men were put in prison last
night. Some of our stores are closed.”
RADICAL RXJOICINO.
The Colombia Union of yesterday says
"From reliable somree we learn that there
between eighty and ninety more i^rson*.
cased of Ku-Kluxing, iu custody at Yorkvill
aud about sixty-five at Spartanburg,
out of every ten. at least of those at Spartan
burg, have confessed, and thrown themselves
the mercy of the law. 8ix more men,
charged with Ku-Kluxing, were lodged
jail in this city last evening. They wero
brought from Union.”
AN UYOKT TO SECURE COUNSEL.
The Columbia Ptu£nix says: "We learu
that an effort is making to secure emiuent
counsel from abroad to test, in the court
i, the constitutionality of the indiscriuu
nate arrests wado under the Ka-Klux act. It
_ thought due to our people that some mi
terly lawyer, whose voice will reach tho t
' the North, should be employed to test t
question as to whether there is any limit
the military despotism set ou foot iu this
State.”
THE SITUATION IS FAIRFIELD.
The Winnsboro News, of yesterday, say
■We have as yet no arrests in our county,
aud certainly booeour people will escapo the
cruelties of the Ku-Klox Inquisition,
pleased to call it. In case the invaders
may move iuto our community, we simply
advise our citizens to stand firm, and submit
the oppression with becoming dignity and
unwavering spirit, and keep alive the thought
that the proseut state of affairs c innot last
always, and that a day of reckoning
far distant”

W. Gwynn and Esqaire J. W. Toer, to make
thorough canvass of the county for ad

take the field next week. He is, we believe
the gontleman who surveyed and located the
road from Qdincy to the Apalachicola rir -
and haa the reputation of being a skillful
