I Major Braytou, Commandant of this Pout
[has returned to the city from Atlanta, where
[he was on duly as a member of the Military
|Court for the trial of the Columbus prisoners.

The Hi gill Man Found.
The public will remember the recent
trial by court marshall of young Cody, of
Warrenton, charged with the murder of a
United States soldier in that town, in March
hist. Mr. Cody was acquitted. We learn
that the military are now satisfied they
have discovered the really guilty party, in
the person of a colored man.

A aiulluy Frustrated.
At the Jail, on Sunday morning, quite a
number of the colored prisoners refused fd_
don the ‘new clothes' which had been pre
pared for the inmates. Alderman Levy,
acting Mayor, was notified of this refusal,
and he told the Jailor to act promptly in the
matter as he thought best. The upshot of
the mutiny was the “bucking” of twenty
nine of the party adverse to wearing the new
striped uniform. Yesterday morning, they,
properly equipped, fell into line among the*
rock breakers.
Kcnconlre.
At nine o'clock last evening a shooting
affray occurred in front of Schneider's
restaurant, in which two police officers (Chief
Dili,on and Lieutenant Evans) and two
citizens, 1 Coay.Lius A. Bel, and Alexander
Phillip were more or less hurt.
The facts, as we learned them from an
eye-witness, are these : At the hour named
above, two or three men were making a dis
turbance in tbe street, and were asked to
desist by the policeman on that beat.—
The policeman was cursed by one of tho
party, and told to go about his business.
He then gave the signal rap, which was
heard by officers Dillon and Evans on Broad
street, who at once came to his rescue, while
the disturbance was in progress. Chief
Dillon told them the quarrelling must
cease, when Louts Picquet cursed him
considerably. The Chief started toward
PtcquET, when a ball was fired through his
body by a pistol in the hand of Red.
Dillon then tired at Red, and several
other shots were exchanged in the crowd,
one hitting Phillip. Lt. Evans was cut
in the forehead with a’cane.
We deeply regret this occurrence, and
Were pained*o learn, at a late hour last
evening, that Mr. Red’s wounds were con
sidered of a fatal character. A spectator
issured us that Red showed every disposition
o quiet the fracas, until PICQUET, by his
persistent abuse of Dillon, caused the latter
io threaten to put P. in the guard house and
Started towards him.
’ PicquET was subsequently arrested and
placed, in jail.
It is thought the Chief will soon recover.
The ball was extracted by Dr. Campbell I
Os Mr. Phillips’injuries we could gather
no reliable information.

Our Worklnß Min.
That city which so shapes its policy as to
attract working men, has, in the estimation
ot all sound thinkers, solved »ne of the most
important problems in regard to growth and
prosperity.
The working trfan is the indispensable
essential; withont him there is no advance
ment. A city made up of doctors, lawyers,
politicians, bankers and merchants, would
soon be overgrown with moss, moth-eaten,
and would soon disappear. It would have
no vitality, force, influence, or importance.
The live element iu all communities is the
working man. They carry forward the
industrial enterprises of the world ; they level
the forests,, bridge the rivers, tunnel the
mountains, dig the canals and frame the
locomotives ; they build the cities, and cul
tivate the fields ; they invent and construct;
they manipulate the keys of machinery, and

There are ever coming forward from the
representatives ot the plow, loom and anvil
men who shape tbe destinies of nations—men
n f large braiu views, who
received their gradu'w Ng diplomas in work
shops, and whose words on questions affecting
the material interests of tbe State outweigh
the unpractical themes and ephemeral logic
°f the mere bookworm.
Augusta needs men of this element, to
organize and push forward industrial enter
prises ; and still more Augusta needs a
'•berai policy which will induce working men
to make it their homes.
Tho workingmen, whate'er tbeir task,
To carve the stone or bear the hod—
They wear upon their honest brow?*
The royal stamp and seal of God ?
An 4l brighter are their drops of sweat
Than diamonds in a coronet!
[Communicated.
Mr. I'. 'i-urs- Is itßnt a little curjpu. :li it
tho “Baby Wiiker” and “Bob Toombs,” who
were so very conspicuous in the early days
of the rebellion, should have paraded them
selves in thy Dunoeratic day,
at Atlanta? 'fife one suggestivi! of‘‘southing
syrups,” and the other of savage “blood
drinking.”
It may be true that the democratic babes
and sucZ;Zi'/i«d’, especially the colored ones,
may .icqjbire ■udkity up, Iqf ‘‘Bobuol,”
as we used to call him, shows them all tue
blood shed iu the first blow for freedom, and
how savage the drinking of it has made him,
they will, of course, be cautious as to how,
and when, and under what leaders, they will
“strike another blow for freedom,’’ as he
proposed in bis Atlanta speech.
In the assertion of their right), no matter
by whom waked up, they may be assured
that Grant will afford them all the military
aid they may require, and Colfax will secure
them from that bogus statesmanship which'
while it preaches _• qutili'y, practically in3i
cates subserviency amr slavery. Squib.

Highwaymen on the Augusta Road.—
About noon, ofk'riday last, a farmer, named
Clanton, from Screven county, who had
been to tils city with produce, was quietly
walkinghomeward, on the Augusta Road ;
when, abouktwo miles from tho city, three
neupeK armed-%ith guns, jumped from out
of athiexet and assaulted nim. They benrt
hirtt about the head and body very severely,
lufllctlnw serious injuries, and also robbed
hiin of a small amount of money which was
in Kia pocket.
It happened very fortunately that after
disposing of his produce. Mr. Clanton had
given the money received for it to his son
and sent him on ahead in bis cart. He
rcinained iu town awhile, transacting some
business, and was walking with a view of
overtaking Lis sou when attacked ; the high
waymen were therefore baulked of the spoils
which they anticipated finding upon Lis
person.
It is reported that these parties who prowl
übenft hi. Idcklity where this outrage was
cmnirfifti 9,- lak.t week, murdered and robbed
a while man, wham they buried along the
ruaffijiw'.* The report of the matter has been
inii4ii,ji>Hie proper authorities, and we pre
sung an iuvestigatiou will be made to ascer
tain ibe truth ofrefie report.
The tuitlit»ilies should make a vigorous
effort to stop the ojicralions of, and bring
thcteMghwaymcu io grief. Parsons traversing
tbo.ft»ds had better be prepared for any
emergency, and the midaot justice willsurely
be satisfied, if these villains attack some
determined party, who is prepared for them,
and who knows how to shoot straight.

♦There had been some fighting between the
hostile forces in the vicinity of Yeddo, but
uo decisive successes are reported on either
side.
it was thought that the war between the
two parties, where their respective strength
and resources appeared so evenly balanced,
would result iu the division of the country

to copied matter as well as original. The
judge of the court is to decide what is slan
derous.
Gov. Smith has vetoed the bill fixing the
pay of members and officers of this Legisla
ture. He takes the ground that it is.an
increase of rales over the rates fixed by the
old law. He further takes the ground that

cents a mile as mileage—is exorbitant, and
is uot iu proportion to the amount in the
Treasury.

Editor .\uti.u<ll llepublican :
The Market for provisions has been dull and
lifeless during the greater portion of the week.
But a moderate amount of stuff was taken for
consumption and speculators had not sufficient
confidence to operate. Notwithstanding Ibis
condition of the marxot, holders were cureless
about soiling and declined to make suoh*con
cessions as would have boon necessary to induce
buyers to operate with any freedom. Purchases
could not bo made to any extent at my quota
tions ns holders on the appearaueo of a disposi
tion to buy, would at onoe put up their figures.
Within ths pari two days orders have been re
ceived, though they were generally limited iu
price and at figures at which they could not bo
filled. To-day there was au improved demand
for Moss Pork and Lard, and higher rates were
realised, but other articles met with little atten
tion, though a firmer feeling was maintained by
holders,
ME i.S PORK—Ruled quiet duriu.g the greater
part of the week and S2B at the close. There
wore buyers at thia 1 gurc and some choice brands
sold at 28.25,at which price it closed firm.
