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.
