WaaatcaoTox, D.C.. October 25k, 1871.
Ox Satarday evening last the qni.-k atmos
phere c4 (hi. caty woe coauiderabS agitated
by the arrive: of the "Fighting Colonel
Illinois,~ fresh from the land of tbeKu-Kiax.
With that magnificent x:r which ro well be
comes has marual presence, the Colonel sum
moned a du&ky Jehu at the depot and drove
at once to the office of the head missionary
of the Aiminutration, Columbus Delano.
Thera he found hia bitterest enemy in secret
conclave with the missionary. Tbia enemy
being a courteous gentleman, waived hia
claim on Delano's time, and allowed the
Colonel to have his say.
Tbe Colonel informed Delano that he bad
oocce all tbe way from Savannah to inveati
las its.mi as tf*te a conspiracy looking to hia removal
from the position of Collector of Customs at
that port, and begged that the Commissioner
would intercede with tbe great Ulys*«a for
bis retention, lhe Hon. Columbus, re
membering tbe kind treatment which be had
received at the hands of the fighting Colonel
during bis visit to Georgia is the fall of 18G9,
promised to mention the matter to Grant,
the same time expressing the opinion that
such matters his influence would be fruitlt*
With thia the Colonel left to find a boarding
house, where he could rub up and prepare
himself for an exhibition before Ulji
Han day.
Early on Sunday morning he presented
himself at the White House, but failed to see
tbe inscrutable, who was preparing to at
tend aetviee at tbe Metropolitan Church,
where Li* friend. Dr. Newman, was adver
tised to deliver a sermon on bis recent trip
"Greenland's icy Mountains"
The Colonel, though immensely disap
pointed, was in no wise disheartened, feeling
■nre that hia ancient ally, Dick Yates, would
arrive on the morrow, and then there would
be no difficulty in procuring aa audience
with Grant
Early Monday morning tbe Colonel, sup-
ported by hia Arm friend Yateo, who arrived
in the early train, paid a visit to tbe White
House. Tbe Colonel looked very solemn
Yates all the time trying to cheer him up by
relating some of tbe Colonel's exploits in tbo
army. But tbe Colonel refosod to be cheered.
Tbe sad mood bad come npon him i
ner that was irresistible. He had slept badly
tbe previous night He had dreamed of be
ing encompassed by a boat of oarpet-baggers
and scalawags, wbo were clamoring for his
|>olitical head, lo the distance hefhad seen
the Inscrutable, smiling approvingly npon
tbe carpet-bag and scalawag tools. By tbe
side of tbe Inscrutable stood the great legal
luminary of Georgia (A. T. A.) wearing high
above bis head a blank commisaion of a Col
lector of Customs.
This dream had proved too much for the
Colonel's nerves, it had overcome him, and
his courage had gone down hslow. far belo
tbe sticking point. His phropbetic soul had
recognized the hand-writing on the wail. He
frit that hi* hoar bad come, that his doom
is sealed; aud from his grip was passing
iftly the scepter of the Custom House, and
with it all the little schemes upon whose
auccea* ho had based future glory—fai
[Missing that which he bad achieved ii
army, end future wealth that would oomjxire
favorable with that of his friend. Kufus B.
Bullock. He tottered rather than walked up
the winding stairs of the Executive mansion.
tebed the ante-room and rank almost
exhacsed into a chair. That great humani-
Geu. Dent, immediately brought
glass of brandy and water which tbe Colonel
lrsnk and expressed himself aa feeling much
better.
In the meantime Yates had sent in hia
rn and the Colonel's card to the President,
Word came in reply that the President vu
very bu»y, but would shortly see Mr. YaUs
This wo** another blow to ths Colonel, and
e near resulting in a esse for the coroner,
Dent, with hia inexhaustible supply of
brandy and water, wa* equal to the emer-
gt-nch, and a valuable life was spared to the
of his country.
■ waiting three hours, or thereabouts,
Mr. Kales was ushered into the pres#-nee of
tbo inscrutable, where ho remsioed about
half an hour. When he came forth great
pearly drop* were trickling down bis ragged
frontier, and he was sobbing convulsively.
The ever faithful Dent, knowing exactly how
the interview would terminate, was ou the
watch with his everlasting brandy and water ;
this time a double dose met Yates in the hall,
and soon aucceoded in amootbiog his wrin
kled front and restoring him to order. Af
ter which he begged him, for Heaven's sake,
lead his friend away- before he told him of
the revolt of his interview with the President
This Yates did at onoe, and with his friend,
the Colonel, sought the nearest bar-room,
and there he related how the Pr*trident
hud expressed himself as sorry that he
could do nothing m th* matter; that
the cane bad already been decided; that
the Colonel would be allowed until the
first of November next in which to resign.
That Akerman had demanded his removal
for the good of the i>arty in Georgia, that
the entire Georgia delegation in Congress de
manded it, that tbe heat men in the Republi
can party in Georgia (incloding the Hon.
A at on A i peoria Bradley) demanded it, and
that be, th* President, felt bound to consult
the wishes of the majority esjiecially as he
needrd all the votes of tbe Ilepnbliean dele-
eatioos from the Bouth in tbs next National
Republican Covention in order to secure his
reuomination, Yates plead faithfully, but
the iohcrutable was firm aud so tbe interview
ended.
Yesterday morning the Colenel paid a visit
to the White House and saw th* Presidsnt,
but failed to alter tbe programme.

• Put Sxa—My attention having been called
to an article which appeared in a Memphis
paper— under signature ef General Alvin C.
Gules. U. S. A — purporting tobe a true
ston cf the manner in which Gen. John H.
Morgan was killed, and the statement mad* by
your efficient correspondent, whom I suspect
to be an old and reepe-tted friend, in your issue
of the 24th itsL. compels me, very reluctantly,
to appear in print to refute a irWful misrep-
rtsenlalirm on the psrt of the former, and as
unintentional m if take of my worthy comrade.
I Lad intended, eoon a ter the war, and sev
eral times since, to have published a state
ment of what passed under my personal ob
servation on that eventful 4th of September,
the dies ircr of our command, but cautious
frisnda advised against any re-opening of
dtad issue* to incite fresh animosities,
which our model (-*) accept-ths-situationizU
declared would delay the day of the Prodi-
gtl's return to the bosom of this "Glorious
Union.’’ Tbe letter in tbe Mem phi* Appeal
determined my course, and I had already
commenced a reply, when your correspond
ent's notice of tbe circumttanc* causes me
to hastily lay before your reiuiera, and all wbo
love our dear Sooth and the glorious cause so
manfully maintained, as succinct a state
ment as I can possibly make of the true
•vents of tbat mournful day.
To anticipate: On tbe morning of tbe 2d
of September. 1WJ4. I received orders from
General Morgan, then at Abingdon, Ya, to
Lave the command ready for immediate
movement At tbat time it consisted of the
Old Brigade, under command of Colonel D.
Howard Smith, tbe Second Brigade, under
oommand of Colonel H. L. Giltner, and
Ucbment of General Vaughn’s Brigade (Ui#
latter composed of atragglers. men reporting
from leave of absence, kc.. their brigade be
ing absent with General Ear]/ in Maryland),
under command of Colonel Wm. E. Bradford
—tb* whole force numbering, as well as I
recollect, thirteen hundred men.
stationed at Carter** Station, on the East
Tennessee aud Virginia Railroad, about thir
ty miles from Greenville. Later in the day,
orders came for tho force to move, tbe next
morning early, on Greenville, and on the 3d
Gen. Morgan, with Major W. C. Gossett, G.
M. Captain Henry Clay, Acting Aid-de-
Camp, Captain James Rogers, Acting Inspec-
General, and L. C. Johnston, a clerk in
my office, arrived on the train, and w* im
mediately proceeded to Jonesboro, at that
tbe Ur minus of the road. We here met
the command, and advanced in regular
marching order or. Greenville.
Not Laving an opportunity on the train of
discussing his plana, the General invited
to ride forward with him, and we rode beyond
oar advanced videttes. I remonstrated
against this a* dangerous,but the General said
that he desired to converse with me quietly.
He seemed to Lavs a foreboding of evil,
for he remarked upon my suggestion that we
ight be captured, "they will never take me
alive tbev Lave ssrorn to kill me if they eTer
catch me again." We still rode in advance,
anJca cred Greenville fully fifteen minutes
before oar advance guard.
The General, after directing me as to the
disposition of the troop*, established his
headquarter* at the house of Mrs. Williams,
but immediately sent for a detail of a lieu
tenant and ten men ; and upon going np to
tbe house, I learned that upon our arrival a
Mrs. William*, daughter-in-law of our host-
i. had suddenly taken her departure, for
j oaUtUMiblo porpoee of getting some
•watermelons." To those wbo know that
smile when he was angry, I refer whether the
General suspected treachery or no. His re
ply to me was that "he wished tbe men to
assist Mrs. Williams in bringing bade her italer-
meljns, and IK*! th y mu it go until they found
her." When alone, he told me his suspicions
that Mrs. Williams had gone to give infor
mation to the enemy—"but that was nothing,
a thousand of our noble girls had brought
news but I must prevent, if pofsible, tbe
w-emy getting wind of our approach.” The
soouting party returned unsuccessful after
ddigeut aearch. and reported that she had
not beta to the farm, to which the elder Mrs.
W. had said she had gone.
In the disposition of tbe Divwion, Cdonel
Bradford was placed on the extreme left, his
left resting on the Nolichucky river, and his
line extend'ng in a serai-circle until it touch
ed Colonel Giltner * left, and the latter in
the »aine manner to tbe left of Colonel Smith
—thu« forming two-thirds of a circle around
Greenville, fronting the enemy's position,
and about two miles from the town I inti
mated tho propriety of placing Colonel Smith
Bradford s portion, a* tbe forco of the lat-
r was without regular organization, but the
General said tbat ho intended his men
khould lead the charge iu tbe morning, and
tbat he desired they should be relieved from
all duty.
A written order was diiqoatcbed to Colonel
Bradford to select hi* best officer and fifty
picked men as a soouting party, with in
structions to advance toward Ball's Gap until
they struck the enemy’s position, and to feel
his picket until th# command arrived tbe
uext morning. Captain Clay and Major Gos
sett were ordered to ride over tbo picket line,
aud see that every road and by-path were
properly guarded, and at 11 o'clock p. m.
they reported that all instructions had been
fully executed.
After issuing or Jers for the command to
rendezvous ou tho Bull Gap road ,at day-
•zbt the next morning, tho General retired.
Ho occupied a front room alono. At day
light on tbe morniDg of the 4th, I was awaken
ed by the sentinel on duty, and went jntotb*
General's room to awaken him. Upon In
quiry, finding tbat it was raining, he in
structed mo to countermand tho order for
immediate movoment, and fixing 7 o’clock as
th" hoar. After receiving receipts froia the
different brigade commanders, I returned to
bed, and wa* awakened by tho heavy firing
around tho house. Hastening into tho Gene
ral's room, I found that ho had gone out, and
i searching, found him in the garden.
A description of tho grounds will better
enable your readers to fully understand sub
sequent event*. The enclosure occupied just
block, aud therefore was surrounded by
four streets, on tbo northern side, and occu
pying almost tho whole space stood the
houae—a large substantial brick, fronting
south. To the right and southward were tbe
stables; and still farther, and reaching to the
front atrset was a small vineyard of probably
o hundred vines. In the southeast corner
the lot stood a small frame church, raised
__ brick columns, about three foet from the
ground. Tho remainder of the lot was filled
with flowers and shrubbery.
I found the General in the vicinity of the
church, and we took refuge under it to consult.
Ho directed ms to go to tne top of the bouse
lee if there was an opening through which
... could P-UH, and upon reaching tbe upper
rooms. 1 went into each epeoing in different
directions, and found every street blocked
with cavalry, while line# of moo were riding
around next the fence, (a high plank fence,)
shooting in all directions through the
grounds. I con’d al*o see equads of meu at
the terminus of each street on the outskirts
the village.
Reporting those facta to the General, I
■god him to go into the house and there
render, as it was our only chance, and
that growing momentarily less, a* the fire
growing heavy and at point blank range.
He replied:
"It is a-:eltu; they have sworn never to
take ine a prisoner. ”
Hearing the charch being forced open, w#
crowed over into the vineyard. It must hero
be staUd that all movements were effected
by almost crawling and taking advantage of
each t ush, as tbe enemy were not over twen
ty yards from ns;and erouehing down amosg
tbe vines, Mr. Johnston and myself egaie
urged him to go up to tbe house. This he
refused, and told us that we had better sep
arate, as three together might be perceived.
In laaviug. the General shook hands with
mo, aud remarked:
"You will Dover see tjxe again."
1 bad gone but a few stops when 1 heard
him call out:
"Don’t shoot! I surrender."
Stopping immediately, 1 looked around,
and ujK>n the outside of the fence, almost
ovrr the General, wbo bad risen, and wax
bo'ding op his hands, aat a Yanks* with gnu
presented, wbo replied:
••Surrender and be God damned—I know
you"—and fired. 1 was so olose, that to this
day I firmly believe tbat 1 can identify tbe
gan tearing down the fence, in whicb'tie was
aoon asaiated by a large crowd cf his com
rades. (I neglected to mention that while we
were dodging about in the garden, some
fiends in the noble guise of woman were
oalling to tbe Yankees from their uppsr win
dows, "Yonder he goes P "That's !"
••That’s Morgan r Ac., Ac.)
Being soon after captured, aud taken some
distance out of town, I saw nothing of the
General's body until, when,sfu-r repeated so-
Uciutiona, the hnrgeant who had me in
charge consented to take me to Gen. Gillem,
the Oxnmander of the Federal foree, and on
my wey there I was stopped by a crowd of
half drunk*n wretch*-*, wbo made me de
mount. "They w«ut*d to show me some
thing. " Tbat "somalAmy" was the dead body
Of Gen. Morgan thrown in a muddy ditch by
the road side, tbe features almost nudistin-
guiahable from mad and blood, and tbe body
nude eave a pair of drawers, ths elothieg
then beirg torn up into amall pieces as
inert of the "Dead Lion."
Upon reaching the town, I found General
Gillem at Mrs. Williams* bona*, and with
him was the Mrs. Williams who had gone
out tbe day before after ••watermelons" (?)
end wbo had returned, strange to ssy, about
the same time, xeith the Yankee«. I stated to
Gen. Gillem that my object in ocming to
him was for permiauon to get the Gsneral's
body, “as bis men were treating it like a dog."
"Ay. sir, and it shall lie there and rot like
a dog," was bis reply; and then followed a
series of abuse, which would scarcely be pal
atable to your readers, or pertinent to this
statement Snffieit be rejected every proj>o-
sition by whioh I had hoped to have sao-
ceeded in getting the General's body to his
friends.
Our foree having rallied, Gen. Gillem was
summoned to ths front and one of his staff,
whom 1 have thought was Col. Brownlow,
though my memory may be at fault, but who,
nevertheless, seemed a gentleman, offered to
bring in tbe body, which was dona, and in a
small back room, CspL Jas. Rogers and my
self. with the assisinnoe of a negro man.
washed and dressed it. The wound was full
in the breast, end seemed to have glanced on
the breaet-bons, passing through tbe b*eit
and coming out under the left arm. Tbe
ad was much bruised and tbs akin broken
several places upon the faos and temples,
sming a verification of the statement that
the body was thrown over a horse, with the
head dangling against the stirrups.
Snch, Mr. Editor, is a plain, unvarnished
statement of facta, so far as my memory goes,
for I have no data npon which to rely. I
sent a similar statement to Col. Reedy, the
father of Mrs. Morgan, immediately after my
escape, and when I reached Canada, I also
wrote more fully to the General’s mother, in
Lexington, Kentucky, and to Col. Dick Mor
gan, then a prisoner at Fort Warren. Thix is
another reason why I have not given this
statement aounsr to the public, as I felt tbat
as tbe General's immediate family were in
jMasessiou of the facts, they would publish
them, if they thought it best Now, how-
er, as Gen. Gillem haa deemed it prudent
make a statement, and as one of oar own
staff has endorsed it. 1 can no longer remain
silent, not only in justice to the history of
holy cause, but to tbe sacred memory ef
with whom it was my honor and privi
lege to serve, and than whom there never
breathed a more noblsi and gallant spirit,

Nine Divisions ware represented. Tbe offi-
ra were mostly present. Five new repre

Grand Scribe showed the Order in a very
flourishing condition. Tbat of tbe Grand
Worthy Patriarch was occupied principally
itb the discussion of tbe question precipi
tated by tbe National Division at its late eee-
at Boston, Mass., by the adoption of the
following:
Whereas, in the Order of tho Sons of Tem

therefore
Resolved, That iu our future action wo do

Washkotos. October 27. 187L
Your correspondent called on tbe Presi
dent to-day, for '.he purpose of calling hi#
attention to an article iu the Atlanta 5un,
headed "YourThrtats will Fail,” which ar
ticle was copied in the Morxixo News of the
25 :h inaL
RTne President, after reading the article
very carefully, pronounced it entirely
founded. He says if tbe action of tb* Ku-
KIox in Georgia necessitates the application
of the power* conferred ou him by the En
forcemeat Act, he will not hesitate, but bo
never had thought of interfering with the
impeachment of Governor Bollock or any
other official of the State Governments.
That is a matter which the people and th#
Legislature most settle among themselves.
No one has authority to threaten tho Legis
lature or jieople of Georgia with martial law,
or subversion of the State government,
case Bullock bhould be impeached.

Washington, October 28, 187L
Daring the years 1854 to 1857, inclusive,
there was a standing offer from the Domini
can Government to lease the Bay of Saxnina
for a naval station, for five thousand
dollars per year, bat France and England ob
jecting, Freeideut Pierce finally abandoned it
The offer was renewed in 1865, and reject
ed. Tbe next step in the affair was the bar
gain made with Grant through Gena Bab
cock, Ingalls and Socket, by which one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars a year waa to
be paid for the rent of bamina. Thus Grant
and his agents agreed, for reasons that baTe
never been explained, to pay one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars a year for a bad
coaling station, when a first rate one could
be bad at Saint Thomas for five thousand
dollars a year, and when this same property
bich they agreed to jmy one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars for, had been repeatedly
offered to the Uuited States for a very small
sum. There is a mystery about this trans
action that never has been solved. The
whole business looks like one of those ar-
rungemtnts for robbing the j>cople by false
vouchers and forged endorsements, now so
prevalent among the friends of the present
administration.
The air is filled with rumors of defalca
tions of Federal contractors and office hold
ers, and swindling schemes of every kind.
It is rumored to-day that yet another defal
cation to a large amount, has be*n discover
ed by the examining clerks of tbe Second
Auditor’s office.
Governor Bullock is at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel in N*>w York.
Tbe Secretary of War says Balloch’s case
docs not properly come under his supervision.
If it did, Bsllocb would long since have been
sent to keep Hodge company. Tbe 6voi«u*;
doe* nut heallale lo Kay BAlloch’s conduct
amounts to felouy, and should bo punished
as such. General Howard is the proper
psity to proeecule. Balloch’s sccouuts sre
still under investigation in the Second Audi
tor's office.
A prominent ex-official of the State De<
partment says in relative to the Cutacazy and
Fish embregtio that Cstacazy wrote artie'ee

. Macon, October 27, 1871.
There was another large attendance at
Fair Grounds to-day. The boat races u
very interesting.
The Lucille, of Savannah, rowed by G.
Kimball, C. J. Miller, George Schler. and
George Titcomb, won the raoe by half
a length, the Macon boat coming iu second,
and the Alice, of Savannah, behind. Time,
5 minutes and 71 seconds.
Weston walked fifty miles to-day
hours forty-one minutes and thirty-eight

Two very exciting trotting matches also
took place. Tbe quickest time made was

TUB RKIO.T OF TERROR II SOUTH
CAROLINA.
Charleston, October 27.—Advice# from tbe
upper portion of the State report Increasing
terror and confosion in th* proclaimed
ties on aocount of the numerous arrests made
under the President’s ^proclamation.
The Yorkville Enquirer, received to-night,
says: "The wholesale arrests made by tbe
military in this county have had a very de
pressing influence on business and industrial
pursuits generally, and we presume sash will
be the case throughout the entire section of
the State embraced in the proclamation of the
President Tbe crops remain in the field
unharvested, aud on account of the general
feeling of insecurity, business is nearly at
stand still, wbile a large number of persons
have left the county rather than incur the
unpleasant and uncertain consequences of
arrest The future of our section is now
more gloomy than it has been at any time
since the close of the war."
The Grand Jury of Chester county, cor
posed of six whites and fix negroes, made
presentment embodying the result of their
investigation of the allege 1 Ku-Klux
rages there, and conclude as follows: 1
the Grand Jnrora upui. our oaths, are
polled to ray firm the testimony which
we have taken and from ocr knowledge of
the different parte of the country, that the
allegations contained in tho proclamation of
the President of the United States, are with-
oat foundation, and must be the resuit cf
falsehood ccmmanieated to him by persons
equally regardless of good order aud the
peace of society."

Tbs Meads end acqaalnteocM of Mr. Oecrfs Wall-
brock and of Miss Jcua Wuueaocs. are respectfully

Th© Reign #r Terror
Carolina.
Tbe Spartanburg Spartan nays: "Y’ou are
reported!" "A warrant is out for your arrest.”
"They have your name on tbe list of those
who are to’ be arrested," Ac. These are
among the rumors which are industriously
circulated over the eounty. These reports
have driven some persons from the oouoty,
who are innocent of any violation of law.
These persons who feel that to be arreited
now, while the writ of habeas corpus is denied
them, would eause great inconvenience to
the witneftsc*. Also, the flimsy testimony of
vwift and jrrejadiced witnesses, upon which
some persons have been arrested, and which
is suffieient to send a man lo priton without
a hearing till the court convenes in Colum
bia. has frightened many and caused them to
avoid being arrested. This court, which it is
threatened, shall be made "memorable" aa
tbe court at Raleigh, where it 1* said'men
were tried and convicted, ia dreaded alilui by
the innocent and the guilty. But wo incline
to the belief that the only danger to innbeent
parties before this court will be found in
mercenary and prejudiced witnesses in the
hands of malicious individuals. We hope
those who hear such rumors as we quote
above will not take them to bo true in all
cases. L-1 not auy one be alarmed wbo feels
himself ionooent. We know that under an
ordinary *!ate of affairs innocent persons
would defy such rumors, feeling their ability
before bonert jurors, upon a fair trial, to vin
dicate their innccence.

was arrested at this pi ace on yesterday by a
United Statee Marshal, on an affidavit made
by li. II. Fiinn, charging that Captain Cock-
field is one of tbe party that killed E. J.
Singletary, lute Postmaster at Leesville.
Captain Cockfield gave bail in the sum of one
thousand dollars to appear before a United
Bute* Commissioner for a preliminary ex
amination here to-day. We learn that war

Commuted.—The sentence of Becso, who
murdered a man iu Crawfordville about a
year ago. haa been commuted by Governor
Bullock from banging to imprison for life.
Reese was taken from Richmond eounty jail
by the Sheriff of Taliaferro county, and
carried to Crawfordville, to be hung; but, as
we ltarn from the conductor of the day pev-

commutation of the sentence was sent down

from the position of Supervisor of Tennessee.
There is another prominent Supervisor dowi
Mouth whom the Government is after with a

Tbe President to-day stated that he had
left the selection of Robb’s successor to Aker
man. The latter having written a letter
recommending Atkins, it is safe to presume
that Atkins will be appointed.
Tbe President authorizes the statement
that he could not listen to any proposition
for the removal of Tom Marphy or any other
public officer, based upon accusations which
be bad himself Iutsiligated and knew to be
unfounded.
Grant has converted tbo Judiciary of the

the services of the Superintendent of Public
Works to examine and report upon the
dition of the Road preliminary to the
