NEWSPAPKII TALK.
The newspaper offices seem to bo
tolerably lively, and still retain a clever
corps in each, all of whom contributed to
our personal comfort and amusement,
particularly Mr. Patrick Walsh, of the
Chronicle <!'• Sentinel, Mr. L. T. Hlome, of
the lianner of the South, Mr. E. 11. Uuirlie,
our jolly rotund friend of the National Re
publican, and Mr. John L. Ells, of the
Constitutionalist, together with Mr. Judge,
the same old John Judge, of the latter
office, to all of whom we return 'our
“double-breasted affections,” and promise to
reciprocate whenever any of them shall
favor us with the light of their countenance,
which, we will suggest, might bo appro
priately arranged for the Ist of May.
THEATRICAL.
The theatrical combination, under the
management of the Templeton Brothers,
closed the season on the 2Stli ult., and left
for Charleston, .where they purpose a
reorganization for a brief summer season
in the principal cities of this section.
They return to Augusta next week. At the
closo of Lent, Savannah ought certainly to
he good for a few weeks, and as several
excellent stars are engaged, together with
new members for the stock company,
Manager Templeton would receive no
more hearty welcome than would he
oxtended him by his many friends in this
city.
THE “LAST SUPPER.”
There are several incidents that came
under our observation during the trip, to
which we should be pleased to reier, particu
larly the pleasant drive to Woodlawu and
the Sand Hills, in charge of our valued
friends, Messrs. David Templetoti and John
Judge; the “last supper,” at which were
oysters, and of how a pair of ravenous
juveniles from the rural districts, while
satisfying their voracious appetites for the
delicious bivalves, came very near using up
the entire supply of a first class hotel; but
we are reminded that this is our Sunday
issue, that we are pressed with other matter
and that we want room ; aud are compelled
to cut short this epistle. In due time wc
shall return the proper compliments to the
good people of Augusta, who by their many
kindness, have placed the writer under 'life
time obligation.
[From the Washington Chronicle.
THE GEORGIA CHIVALRY AT
, WORK.
Telegraphic dispatches from Augusta,
Georgia, were received yesterday and laid
before General Grant, confirming the assas
sination of Colonel A. \V. Ashburn, on Mon
day evening last, at Columbus, in that State,
and the disappearance of Dr. F. G. Maul
since the 30th of March. Both these gentle
men were Republican members from the
county of Muscogee in the Convention which
met at Atlanta, and, after forming an ex
cellent Constitution, adjourned. Both were
Southerners—Ashburn born in South Caro
lina, and having lived fifty years in Georgia ;
and Maul, horn in North Carolina, having
lived twenty years in Georgia. They were
men of high character, and Colonel Ashburn
will be especially remembered in Washing
ton, where he was well known and loved by
the Unionists. He was a member of the
Southern Republican Association ; a mem
ber of the Southern Loyal Convention of
September, 1866, and afterward accompanied
Governor A. S. Hamilton and others in the
celebrated tour to correct the. poisons spread
by Andrew Johnson as he “swung round the
circle.” He was a noble spirit, and fell a
victim at last to the fiendish vengeance of the
men who had often said he must die because
he was a Republican. Dr. Maul, his
colleague and friend, whom, it is feared, has
also been murdered, had lately been elected
a Grant delegate to the Chicago Republican
Convention by his people. The president of
the late Georgia Convention, Hon. J. R.
Parrott, is now in Washington, and says tho
loss of these patriots would be a great
calamity to their family, their country, and
their friends.
The moment General Grant received
information of what has all the appearance
of a double tragedy, he telegraphed Gen.
Meade to lose no time in ferreting out the
murderers. There will be no toleration
of opinion or safety of person or the ballot,
so far as Union men in this and other
States are concerned, unless these savages
arc caught, and when convicted, instantly
executed.
Their deeds are the natural logic of
Andrew Johnson’s threats, the fruit of his
sowing, the echoes to his disregard of the
law, and the results of his preparations for
violence.
No testimony taken before the United
tates Senate—sitting as a high court of
impeachment—-however strong against
this wicked man, is half so direct and
positive a proof of his own cruel violence,
as the fact that the rebels of the South
murder their Union neighbers in the name
of bis policy. They believe they are
invited by him to do this bloody work, and
they are still more ready for it because
they do not think the Senate will dare to
remove their champion from the Presidency.
One of the importunate juveniles who
visit the Metropolitan Hotel and solicit
pennies, was asked: “Where is your
mother ?” She answered diffidently, “She
is dead.” “Have yon no father?” “Yes,
sir ;* but he is sick.” “What ails him?”
continued the questioner. “He has got a
sore finger, sir.” “Indeed!” “Yes, sir.”
“Why don’t he cut it off, then?” “Please,
sir,” responded the little maid, “he liain’t
got no money to buy a knife.”
The descendants of Joseph Proctor and
his wife celebrated the hundredth anniver
sary of the marriage of their progenitors,
in the Gloucester (Mass.) Town Hall, re
cently. One hundred and forty five persons
were present. There have been two hundred
and nineteen descendants, and seventy have
connected themselves by marriage, making
a total of two hundred and eighty seven, one
hundred and eighty one ot whom (one hun
dred and thirty eight in direct lino and forty
three by marriage) are now living.
Near Geneva, Ga., James and Smead
Lumpkin, the one twenty and the other
twenty three years of age, rode their mules
to water. The approach being narrow,
James asked his brother to move his mule a
little. He refused, when James kicked the
animal, which threw Smead. The latter
sprang upon James, and stabbed him twice
in the left breast and once in the hack,
inflicting probably fatal wounds. Smead
.went immediately to a drug store, bought
some laudanum aud took a large dose, but
not sufficient to kill him. He then borrowed
a pistol, shot himself through the head, aud
died in two three hours.
AUGUSTA, GA„ TJHURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 9, 1868.
Official.
Ukadviimrtkrs Third Military' District,!
(Georgia, Alabama, and Florida), V
Atlanta, Ga., April 4, ISOS.)
General Order*, No. 51.
I. The recent assassination, at Columbus, Ga.,
of the Hon. U. W. Ashburn, lato a member of the
Constitutional Convention of said State, and
other acts of violence and atrocity committed
about the time in various parts of this
District, and the simultaneous publication of
incendiary articles, and the receipt by many
persons of threatening letters, indicating a con
cert of action, by violence and intimidation, to
alarm and overawe a large part of the popula
tion, and by this means affect the results of
pending elections in this District, all es which
acts apparently emanate from a secret organiza
tion, for no good purpose, which seems to bo
rapidly spreading through theso States, makes it
necessary for the Commandiug General to warn
all persons against the commission of such acts,
the publication of such articles, the sending of
such letters or connecting themselves with such
evil organisations, and to assure all tho good
people of this District that ho will use all tho
powers ho possesses to protect them in the
peaceable enjoyment of their homes and property
and in the exercise of their personal rights and
political privileges.
11. He therefore directs all military and civil
officers, in this District, to take the most
prompt measures to arrest aud bring to trial all
persons who may hereafter print, publish or in
auy manner give circulation and publicity to
such incendiary papers or threatening letters,
and furthermore to arrest all persons who may
be known to have participated in any such acts
of violence as above referred to, resulting in
breaches of the peace and injury to persons or
property.
111. The Commanding General furthermore
forbids the conductors of all newspapers, job
printing offices or other presses from printing
or publishing any articles or papers tending to
produce intimidation, riot or bloodshed; and
auy newspaper containing any such publica
tions, or press publishing the same, will be
stopped, and its proprietors, editors and other
parties connected therewith on being convicted
before a military commission will be subject to
tine and imprisonment or such other penalties
as may be deemed suitable to the offence com
mitted.
IV. All public writers and speakers are en
joined to refrain fro*n inflammatory appeals to
the passions and prejudices of the people, aud
from publishing or saying anything calculated
to produce breaches of the peace, or to intimi
date auy persons from the exercise of their
political privileges.
V. Military Commanders of Posts, Sheriffs of
counties, Mayors, and other municipal officers, are
hereby required to organize patrols and other
means for the detection of such persons as avail
themselves of the secresy of the night for execu
ting their criminal purposes. Military Com
manders of Posts are required to nee that this
order is duly aud faithfully executed by the civil
authorities within their jurisdiction, and to
promptly report any failure or unwillingness on
the part of said authorities, who will be held sub
ject to the penalties attached to disobedience of
the orders emanating from these Headquarters.
Military Commanders are authorized and directed,
when in then* judgment the same may be neces
sary, to organize, from the reliable aud law
abidiug citizens, posses to aid in the preservation
of law aud order iu their respective districts, the
expenses attending the pay and maintenance of
these posses to be charged to the several counties
or municipalities, as the case may be.
VI. The Commanding General calls on all
good citizens to aid in the preservation of the
peace, and to assist in the arrest and punish
ment of violators of this order and the criminal
laws of the State, and ho admonishes them that
unless acts of intimidation and violence aio
checked and punished, bloody retaliationonav bo
provoked, tho peaco of society endangered or
subverted, and much innocent blood be shed.
VII. The commanding officers of all military
posts in this District will, immediately on the
receipt of this order, cause its contents to be
generally made known, and deliver copies thereof
to all civil officers, editors of newspapers and
presses, and other parties to be specially affected
thereby, within the limits of their commands.
