Assault on Ex-Governor Brown*
Governor Brown, while passing through
Chattanooga on the 11th, on his way home
was sufrounded by a number of. railroad
employees, who threatened to inflict per
sonal injury upon him. Through the in
tervention of several United States mili
tary officers the men were quieted, and
Mr. Brown escaped unharmed.
The reason given by the railroad men
for their threatened action was, that dur
ing Sherman’s * campaign through Geor
gia, BrowD, who was at that time Govern
or of that State, had issued an order to
the effect that all- railroad employees
found in Georgia employed in the service
of the United States Government should
if captured by the rebels, be immediately
shot.
We publish the following note from
Governor Joseph E. Brown with pleasure
It is right that the country should know
that Gov. Brown was not responsible for
the cruelties to prisoners, and that he nev
er authorized any Buch treatment by those
ander his command:
Atlanta, Sept. 11, 1865.
To the Editor of the Chattanooga Gazette:
It was represented as I passed through
East Tennessee that t,:e Railroad men
who were in the service of the United
States during Sherman’s march through
Georgia, has been informed and generally
believe, that I issued an order to the
'troops nnder my command that they
should execute all prisoners taken on the
State Road. The report does me gross
injustice. I never at any time issued an
order to any troops or persons under my
command to execute, abuse or cruelly
treat any person in the service of the Uni
ted States, who had, or might surrender
himself as a prisoner; nor did I ever en
courage or sanction the execution of, or
any unkind treatment to any persons.
No part of the troops who operated in
the rear of General Sherman’s army while
upon the State Road, were at any time
under my command. All such when call
ed out as State troops, were directed to
report to the Confederate General in com
mand, and were s ibject to his orders, un
der such officers as he might assign to
the direction of that service.

Important Case— Tiie Rights of Ne
groes in Indiana.—The following we copy
from the Lafayette Courier:
An action was recently brought against
Moses Hanger, a well known farmer of
this county, on the charge of giving em
ployment to a negro, in violation of the
law, based upon the 13th article of the
Constitution, which prohibits the emigra
tion of negroes to the State after the 31st
of October, 1851.
The penalty is a fine of not less than
$10 nor more than $500. The negro is
also subject to prosecution, but in this
case the action was brought* against the
white man alone. The complaint was fil
ed before a civil magistrate at Clark's
llill, but was tried by a change of venue
before Esquire VVinsbip, at StockwelT.—
The. case was prosecuted in behalf of the
Stale by ex-Mayor Ward, of this city, and
defended by a brevet lawyer named Rein
hart.
The facts being true as alleged in the
complaint, Squire W.inship rendered a
decision for the State, on the strict letter
of the law, and assessed a fine of $10 and
costs.
The case will go to the Supreme Court
of the United States on appeal, and, from
the issues involved, is destined to figure
in tiie jurisprudence of the country, along
with the Dred Scott and other decisions
in which the natural and inalienable rights
of man have been called in question.
Lawlessness in Upper Georgia.—We re
gret to learn that much lawlessness ex
ists in Upper Georgia. \Ve aretol^-ihat
a number of officers of the Confederate ar
my are afraid to return to their homes.—
In the upper part of the State crimes are
committed daily. Even as fa r down as
Clark county, human life is little thought
of. A lew days since, a band of men,
some twelve or fourteen in numbqr, went
to the residence of a young man iu that
comity, and took him out and shot him
several times, leaving him for dead. The
sister of the young man went to his assis
tance and finding him still alive, dressed
his wounds. The band returning shortly,
after to see if they effectually accomplish
ed their purpose, found their helpless vic
tim sitting in the lap of his sister, who
was ministering to him, when they again
shot him, and departed leaviug him dead.
The Federal officer in command of the
district having been informed o$ the in
tention of the law-breakers, sent two
parties of soldiers to intercept them who
succeeded iu capturing all but two.
The young mau who was killed was
charged, by those who shot him, with
having beeu an active Confederate and
with having been engaged in fighting
bushwhackers in that section of the State
during the war.— Chronicle <k Seotinel.
The Herald’s Washington special, dat
ed September 19, say the whole number of
uegro troops mustered into the service
the commencement of the war is, in round
numbers, 180,000. The deaths and casu :
alties among them greatly exceed the pro
portion among the whites, and amounted
to over 50,000. Sixty thousand of the re
maining 130,000 have, lately been ordered
to be mustered out in the several depart
ments.

TO OWNERS OF COTTON.
The following is from the Rome Courier.
as the Ladies, Government officers, and
others, are interested in the point once at
issue, but now determined by Maj. Gen
Steedman, the military commandant of
Georgia, it will doubtless attract the at
tention of all concerned.
DUE AMD TIMELY NOTICE.
A letter came to this Postoffice for a
young lady, addressed to the care of her
father. Tfce young lady had not taken the
“ oath of allegiance,” and still refused to
do so, but her father had, and demanded
the letter, on the ground that it was ad
dressed to his care. The Postmaster de
clined delivering it on the grounds that it
would have been an evasion of the orders,
and would not have been justifiable in do
ing so, under all the existing circumstan
ces. The point was made and referred to
the General for his decision. The follow
ing is his reply:
Headq’rs Dep’tof Georgia, )
Augusta, Sept, 13th, 1864. j
Bespectfully returned to the Postmas
ter at Rome Ga., through military chan
nels ;*the letter will not be delivered until
the orders of the military commander of
the Department are complied with. Par
ties (not alien citizens) .who cannot com
ply with the laws cf the country, will pre
pare themselves to leave the country.
By command of
Maj. Gen. Steedman.
Edwvrd G. Disk, A. A. G.
Mr. F. Ball, Postmaster at this place, has been
erred with a copy of the above Order, and in~
strutted, by the military, to enforce it.—[Ed.Rep
The Radicals Breeding a" Black Insur
rection.—The Scientific American says
that Colt’s pistol factory is running twen
ty hours a day in order to supply the in
creased demand for revolvers, and adds
that most of the orders come from South
ern negroes. This fact taken in connec
tion with the statement of an Alabama
correspondent that large numbers of the
newest and most improved repeating ri
fles are scattered among the negroes in
different localities of the-South, would in
dicate that a negro insurrection is in
contemplation.
General Mead’s visit to South Carolina
^ran to prevent the recurrence of conflict
between the military and civil authorities
of that State. He had an interview, at
Columbia, with General Gillmore and
Governor perry, at which a satisfactory
adjustment was made.
^Self-Defence.—Tlio working men of
South Wheeling, Ya., have formed a joint
stock company, with a capital of $12,000
for the purpose of establishing a first
class grocery store, from which they are
to obtain their family supplies at the low
est cash rates, the profits to be distributed
pro rata among the stockholders. The
shares are fixed at |en dollars, no person
to be allowed to subscribe for more than
ten shares.
A similar enterprise, two years ago, in
Atlanta worked very well. The origin of
this plan is due to the working men of
Iiochedale, England, who had the honour
of being visited by depudations from
France, 'Russia and other continental
powers, to investigate the practical work
ings of their institution.
Hon. Henry S. Foote, having returned
from exile to his home at Nashville Tenn.,
has addressed a letter to the editor of the
Nashville Dispatch, in which he denies
the charge of the Cincinnati! Enquirer
that his recent letter to Hon. A. 0. F.
Nicholson, in favor of negro suffrage, was
written to secure his pardon by President
Johnson. Mr Foote declares that at the
time of writing that letter he thought it
highly probable that the views expressed
in it would diminish his changes of release
and that it was the resalt of careful and
laborious reflection upon the subject dis
cussed.
The following is the resolution indors
ing President Johnson which was tabled
by a large majority in the Minnesota Re-
publican State Convention:
Resolved, That we recognize in the civil
and military acts of Andrew Johnson, as
they stand out before the world during
the darkest period of the nation’s trial,
the fearless patriot, the able statesman,
the honest mab; and that we pledge to
his wise and patriotic measures for the'
restoration of the Union oar cordial sup
port. _
A Big Majority.—We understand, says
Moble News of the 10th ult., that at the
of gfo camp at Dog River, at the sngges-
t : cn of tht General commanding, a propo
sition was made to the freedmen to go
bi-ck to work for their former .masters in
the interior. There were nine hundred
>. resent at the meeting, and passed a re
solution by a vote of seven hundred to
two hundred to go back. They leave
this evening.
