The Fare to New York—Again.
In the Republican, Sunday morning, we
mentioned the injustice of charging five dol
lars more than the advertised rates for a
ticket from New York to Augusta, via the
Charleston and New York Steamship line.
We have since learned that the Agent in
this city is selling through tickets at $23.75,
the regular advertised rates. Thus, it ap
pears, that it costs $28.75 to come from
New York to Augusta, and only $24.75 to
go from Augusta to New York. As the
lamented Artemus would say, “Why is this
thus?”
'The Church Fair at Atlanta.

Radway’s Regulating Pills are composed
of vegetable extracts {prepared in vacuo),
free from all inert, crude, or irritating sub
stances. Thefirstdosc commences its work
of purifying the blood, regulating the liver,
cleansing the stomach and intestines, and
purging from the system all acrimonious
and corrupt humors. One pill, taken two
hours before dinner, will create a good appe
tite and insure a healthy digestion.
Bile.— Bile on the stomach will be elimi
nated by one dose of the pills—say from four
to six in number. When the liver is in a
torpid state, nothing can be better than Rad
way’s Regulating Pills. They purge easily,
are mild in operation, and when taken are
perfectly tasteless, being elegantly coated
with gum. They arc recommended lor the
cure of all disorders of the stomach, liver,
kidneys, nervous diseases, indigestion, dys
pepsia, biliousness, bilious fever, inflamma
tion of the bowels, piles, and symptoms
resulting from the disorders of the digestive
organs.
jfAe Aged suffer from costiveness and
paralysis of the bowels, and may have to use
injections to keep the bowels open. Take
two to four of Railway’s Pills every night ;
in a few weeks the bowels, liver, kidneys,
etc., will be restored to sound health and
strength—a regular discharge from the bow
els will be secured daily.

THE CAMILLA TRAGEDY.
GOV. BULLOCK'S MESSAGE TO THE
LEGISLATURE.
Executive Department.
Atlanta, Ga., September 21, 1868.)
To the General Assembly :
From the communication transmitted here
with, it will be seen that, in violation of, and
with total disregard lot, the proclamation
issued on the 14th instant, the right of tho
people to peacefully assemble has been vio
lently and barbarously impaired, and that
the civil officers of the county of Mitchell
arc wholly unable to protect the rights of
citizens, or to maintain the peace. By the
sixth section of an act of Congress passed
March 2d, 1867, the organization, arming or
calling into service of the militia ot this
State, is very properly prohibited, and it is,
therefore, earnestly recommended that the
Legislature make immediate application to
the President of the United States, under
Section IV Article IV of the Constitution of
the United States, for sufficient military force
to be stationed in said county, to the end
that pcabe may be maintained, the rights,
lives and property of citizens protected, and
secured, and the guilty punished after due
process of law.
I do not deem it necessary to enter into
an argument to support the above recom
mendation. The fact that this occurrence
is the result of a determination frequently
and publicly expressed by irresponsible per
sons of one political party that the other
■ political party ought not, and shall not,
hold political meetings are too well known.
It is, however, gratifying to know, that this
sentiment is confined to a few lawless per
sons, who are not countenanced or supported
by the responsible citizens of their respect
ive counties, but tho misfortune is that the
outrages are not prevented, and unless phy
sical force can be promptly added to the
honest efforts of the officers of the law, we
shall be thrown into a state of anarchy,
where neither life, property, nor law, will
be regarded, and the innocent will suffer
from the wrong-doing of the guilty.
I have this moment received a dispatch
from Major Howard, which places the killed
and wounded at about fifty.
Rufus B. Bullock,
Governor. .

Special to the Augusta Republican.]
Atlanta, September 22.
Adams, Senator from the Twentieth Dis
trict, was sworn in to-day.
Tho Tax bill was amended, so that no
assessments of a specific tax shall be made
for city or county purposes.
On the question of appeal from the deci
sion of the Chair uu the veto of the Nutting
Bank bil 1 , the appeal was withdrawn.
The bill tor the construction of a branch
road from Hawkinsville to Fort Valley was
taken up and passed, with an amendment
that nothing in the Act shall he construed as
authorizing State aid. The opponents of
the bill think this a blow at the Macon and
Central Railroad.
The Committee on the Message relative
to the Camilla affair reported.
Excited discussion on the motion to lay
the report on the table.
The majority report was adopted. It
says, “the evidence submitted by the Gov
ernor is untrue. The whole difficulty
originated from the determination of the
parties named by the Governor, to-wit: —
Pierce, Murphy aud Putney, to enter the
town at the head of an armed company of
freedmen, which was disputed by the
Sheriff. The persistence of one and the
determination of the other caused the dis
turbance. Also that the civil authorities
had shown themselves aide to execute the
laws, and there is no necessity for military
interference.”
Only two members dissented from the ma
jority report, and they believed that legis
lation only was necessary.
The House considered the bill fixing the
time for holding the election for Congress
men. It gave rise to a lengthy discussion.
The time fixed fbr holding the election is
the first Tuesday after, the first, Monday in
November. It passed by 112 yeas to 30
nays.
Tho Camilla majority report was adopted.
The Senate, in Executive session, con
firmed the following: William S. Chiley, of
Chatham, Judge of the Eastern Circuit, for

the term of eight years ; C. D. Forsyth, of

THE RIOT AT CAMILLA I
FURTHER PARTICULARS!
TESTIMONI OF THE SHERIFF.
Villainous Exaggerations!
ETC., ETC., ETC.
Atlanta, September 22.—The particulars
of the riot at Camilla, as telegraphed from
Bainbridge to Augusta, yesterday, are incor
rect and exaggerated. The following gives
account of both sides. O. H. Howard, Bvt.
Maj. U. S. A., and Sub Assistant of the
Freedmen’s Bureau, telegraphs Gen. Sibley,
Commanding that District, the following,
from Albany, September 19tb,atone o’clock,
p. m.: “ Ishmael Lunnor, a freedman, re
ported himself directly from Camilla. Mitch
ell county, stating that he had left there at
two o’clock, p. m.; that in the forenoon of
this day he approached Camilla, with John
Murphy, Win. R. Pierce, the candidate for
Congress from the 2d District, and F. F.
Putney white, and about seventy five colored
persons, all cn route to Camilla, where
Pierce and Murphy were to deliver political
addresses. Upon approaching Camilla, the
relator being in advance, was accosted by
an armed and mounted white man, who, at
first, stated that he was in search of a doctor
to attend a freedman, who had been hurt by
the falling of a tree, but who subsequently
stated he was a courier, and advised the re
lator and the others of thg party who had
overtaken him not to go to town ; that the
people there were determined that Radicals
should not speak in Camilla; That notwith
standing the warning, the party moved on
towards Camilla, where they were met by
the Sheriff anil his posse, who accosted
Captain Pierce, aud who was assured by
Captain Pierce that he desired and intended
to speak in Camilla on political sub
jects. The Sheriff endeavored to dissuade
him from doing so, telling him that
the people would not permit it, and
that the Sheriff then went back to Camilla,
and again returned saying, he had done all
in his power to dissuade the people from
violence, but with no avail. That the party
moved on to town. That Pierce and Put
ney entered the town, dismounted from
their buggy and hitched their horse near
the Court House.
As the -wagon containing the music en
tered the town it was fired upon by a mount
ed white man who first hailed the party,
and also by several others. The freedmen
then started to escape to the woods. Pierce
attempted to rally them, calling on them
not to flee, but the colored men being 1111-
armed would not stop.
The relator
town. lie passed tho musicians, who had
abandoned their wagon, and the freedmen,
all being on foot. Murphy and Phillip
Joiner, in a buggy, drove rapidly toward
Albany. Tho relator kept ahead of them.
When about seven miles from Camilla Mur
phy and Joiner were overtaken by five or
six white men who were mounted and
armed. The buggy was stopped; one
horse dashed riderless up the road. The
relator saw the pursuers around the buggy,
some were dismounted ; he then came its
rapidly as possible to Albany.
The following is a statement of the Sheriff
of Mitchell county, sworn to by himself and
other prominent citizens. It is addressed
to tho members of the Legislature:
On Saturday, the 19th instant, it was made
known to the citizens of Camilla that John
Murphy, of Albany, Ga., had issued a circu
lar and secretly circulated lhe same among
the colored men of this county, ordering
them to bring their arms with them to the
political meeting advertised for that day at
this place. This information wiyi corrobo
rated by statements made by Robert Coch
rau, Sr., Thomas Jones, and others who
came from tho road in the direction of
Albany, stating that armed negroes were
assembling in large numbers at China
Grove Church, waiting , for the delegation
from Albany, headed by said Murphy and
Pierce, the candidate for Congress, who were
to be the speakers on tho occasion.
At the request of the citizens, 51. J.
Poore, Sherifl, with a committee of six other
citizens, went out to meet said procession,
and to protest against the armed negroes
being marched In procession into our town;
to state to them distinctly, that if they would
put down their arms, no objection would be
made to their entering town and holding their
political meeting. The Sheriff delivered this
message to Murphy and Pierce, the leaders
of the procession, and they replied that they
had nothing to do with those armed men ;
the guns belonged to them, and they were in
the habit of carrying them wherever they
went- The Sheriff replied, that, as a peace
officer, it was his duty, under the law, to
forbid assemblages of armed men at politi
cal meetings, and assured them that, if they
cuwacu ivWii wiiii ttivit iiiuniv atiu banners,
followed by armed men, as they then were,
there would be a breach of the peace, and
he would not be responsible for the conse
quences.
Shortly afterwards, the column moved into
town in regular order, headed by Pierce,
the candidate fur Congress, and one I’utney,
white, in a buggy, armed with a double
barrelled shot-gun, a Spencer rifle, and two
pistols, with a quantity of ammunition, ns
was afterwards ascertained ; next, a four
horse wagon, containing the band and a
number of armed negroes ; next, followed a
column of negro men, on foot, between three
and four hundred, attended by about twenty
mounted outriders. At least one-half, if not
two-thirds, were armed with guns, und most
of them yith pistols. Music was playing,
and the crowd noisy and threatening in their
conduct. Murphy and one Phillip Joiner, a
negro, wore in a buggy in the rear.
As the head of the column approached
the square, oue of our citizens, James Johns,
who was intoxicated, approached within a
few feet of the column and ordered the
music to stop, which was not obeyed. The
column moved on.
When about twenty steps from him his
gun was fired, whether intentionally or un
intentionally is not known, but it was point
ed in a different direction and the contents
struck the ground about twelve feet from
him. The column fired a volley, some of
the shots at John’s, most of them in tho di
rection of Maple’s store, which was about
thirty or forty steps from the column, and
around which were a number of our citizens
who were unarmed, six of whom were
wounded. Immediately about twenty citi
zens sprang to their arms aud fired into the
column, killing two and wounding several
of the negroes. The negroes immediately
broke for a thick cluster of timber, north of
the Court House, at this point there was an
attempt made by Peirce to rally his routed
forces. About thirty citizens, part of them
mounted, made a charge and completely
routed the whole force—-Pierce flying
through the woodsand fields. Murphy aud
Joiner escaped in a buggy, going toward
Albany. Seven negroes were killed.
From the best information we have been
able to procure, between thirty and forty
were wounded, all of whom have been prop
erly cared for. It is a source of deep regret
that the calamitous consequences of this
affair fell exclusively upon the poor de
luded negroes, led on by wicked white men—
Murphy, Pierce'and Putney, who made good
their escape in the hour of danger, with but
little injury to themselves. This sad result
is to be attributed more to the sharpness and
shrewdness of these gallant leaders in effect
ing their escape than to want of intention on
the part of our people.
We hereby disavow imy purpose or intent
on the part of ourselves, or our citizens, to
violate the law or peace of tho State in what
was done. We were willing, and so ex
pressed ourselves Io these leaders, for them
to hold their political meeting at the Court
House, in our town, if the negroes were dis
armed ; but wo did think, and still think,
that it was our duty to obey the orders of
the Sheriff as a civil oilier of this State in
breaking up this unlawful assemblage. We
felt that, as their numbers vastly exceeded
that of our citizens al pr< . ent, it this meet
ing had taken place, that the lives of our
wives and children would be al the mercy of
an infuriated mob.
While the consequence are to be regret
ted, nnd wc do not boast of what was done
by our people, we feel that they have dis
charged a painful duty, imposed upon them
by wicked and corrupt white men, now en
gaged in leading astray, into acts of lawless
ness, colored people of.our country. We
appeal to the law-nvikiiig powers of Georgia,
aud the lawful authorities of the United
States government, to check the progress of
these strolling criminals that are prowling
about the homes, and disturbing the peace
and quiet of our war stricken people.
The foregoing statements, from the military
and civil authorities, give full particulars of
the riot.
