As a matte;' of permanent interest to the people of Georgia, wc publish the affida vits of Captains Pierce and Murphy rela tive to the Camilla massacre. We have no room fur comment this morning. It will be seen that most of the butchery took place miles out of Camilla, and therefore is excusable by no law, cither human or Divine. AA’A/.’J/l' CORPS IN COUNCIL. The Mass Convention of Boys in Blue, at Philadelphia, on Thursday, was a stunner. More than an army corps of veterans were in procession. Encouraging letters from Sherman, Sheridan, Pope, Sigel, and others, were read amid the most enthusi astic rounds of applause. All these offi cers, and many more, urged the necessity of Grant’s election. Wc publish a brief account of the procession in another column. THE KU-KLUX ORGAN AND THE WARR Ei\ TOD AFFAIR. If the penning of unadulterated lies were meritorious the editor of tlieKu-Klux organ would be the highest trump card. In that line he is without a peer. lie proves this in relation to the Republican Mass Meeting at Warrenton one week since. Immediately after that meeting, or attempt at a meeting, he published through the columns of his paper an editorial in which he says the blacks were unarmed, and there was no disturbance or attempt at disturbance by the Democrats. It was true that the colored people were un armed ; but the assertion as to the peace ful deportment of the Democrats was not true. The organ originated the falsehood so as to avoid injury to the party at the North. In its Sunday’s issue the unblushing mis representation of facts is repeated. It re affirms its old falsehood and calls llohace Grekly a “shameless liar." But like all falsifiers he admits enough to prove all the statements which have appeared in the Republican. He says that the Republi can Sheriff of the county met the colored people outside ot the town and persuaded them not to attempt to hold their meeting at the court-house, where all citizens have an indisputable right to assemble for all political or public purposes. The editor has already admitted that the colored people were not armed. But the Democrats were, and the Sheriff, as was his duty, assured them that he would be unable to protect them. He, therefore, ad vised them to escape butchery by yielding to the mob. Wallace, of Milledgeville, objected to this; but the Warrenton Clip per (Democratic) says that if he had not succombed his “ conch would have been broke." The people then repaired to the colored church, when friendly notice was given them that the mob was preparing to attack the church. The meeting broke up in confusion, without closing the proceedings. These are the facts. Who is the "shame less liar ?” —— --♦♦♦■ •—— Another Lie Nailed.—Brick Pomeroy having charged Col. O’Sullivan, of the Irish People, with selling out to the Repub licans lor five thousand dollars, that gentle man pronouces the statement a lie. He says that the Democracy offered him five thousand dollars to continue to sustain the party that have so often betrayed the Irish men of America. He says he will sue Brooks and Brick for the libel. The Democratic organ of this city has published this libel Will it retract? •Votes the Way he Shot.—The Colum bus Enquirer admits that the rebel Demo cracy will vote the way they shot—at Grant. By voting for Seymour they would not vote the way they shot—at Seymour or or his friends. His friends generally sym pathized with the rebellion. Frank Blair Visits his Daddy.—Last week Frank Blair suddenly dropped into Washington, and as suddenly dropped out. He visited his old dad, who gave him sugar plums, aud consoled him with the idea that it was not every son of his father that en joyed the distinction of being defeated for the Vice-Presidency. 'HIE COVINGTON EXANINER. The editor ol this paper being a short horse, can be soon curried. lie says that the fact that Messrs. See and Hammond were permitted to teach colored children for more than a year previous to their ban ishment by the Democrats, is proof that they were not banished for that reason. We submit that it proves no such thing. Blair had not then written his revolu ary letter, the military had not been with drawn, and the Democrats in the Legisla ture had not trampled in the dust the Constitution they had solemnly sworn to support. In a word, the rebellion had not been revived. The Examiner calls See and Hammond “incendiaries.” Before what tribunal were they arraigned ? Who drew the indict ment ? What arc the names of the wit nesses that confronted them ’ Under what law were they indicted '. Where are the records of the court ? A true answer to these qustionswould be: 1. There was no legal indictment. 2. There was no legal arrest. 3. There was no legal trial. 4. There were no regularly sworn wit nesses. 5. There was no opportunity for defence. 6. Judge Lynch keeps no records of his court. Now, these men, See and Hammond, are American citizens. They have a right to locate and permanently reside in Georgia, They have a right to talk politics in Geor gia, and every man that attempts to inter pose with that right, by such attempt makes himself a criminal. Again we warn the sensible citizens of Covington and Oxford to discountenance such lawlsesness. The Examiner repeats the stale lie that the Republican is a negro organ. That lie has not even the merit of originality. Thank God, we lire not and never have been the organ of Democratic, Ku-Klux or any other mobs. We are the earnest ad vocate of the rights of humanity, and the rights of every native born and adopted American citizen, without regard to his political or religious belief. Election To-Day.—The Nebraska State election comes off to-day. On Tuesday next, the State elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana will be held. A Republican triumph in all three of these States in generally conceded SPEECH OF OUR iNEXi VICE PRESIDENT Schuyler Colfax made a thrilling speech at Logansport, Indiana, on Friday last. Wc quote from a special to the Cincinnati Gazette: At the close of Gov. Harriman’s speech,' Col. Pratt introduced Schuyler Colfax as the next Vice-President of the United States. Such u scene and such a sound we have rarely seen and heard. The vast audience, with faces beaming with unfeigned delight and pride, welcomed their former Repre sentative by waving handkerchiefs and hats, and with cheers that rent the air. The*ftva tion was continued until it seemed the peo ple were wild. At last quiet was restored, and Mr. Colfax began : Mr. President—l was about to say “Mr. Congressman,” for, although I do not expect to be Speaker of the next House, I expect that 1 will be there or thereabouts —(laugh ter)—and will sec Colonel Pratt sworn iu as the Representative ol this district, a position he will honor as much as you honor your selves by electing him to it. About that’ time, however, I propose to swear in at the other end of the Capitol. [Cries of “that’s so.”] Ladies and gentlemen: No, that is too cold a term to use in ad dressing yon. Since the beginning of the Congressional vasition, I have wandered in the great West in quest of health and rest. I have climbed the great mountains whose summits divide the waters of two seas ; I have seen many faces and looked upon many scenes of grandeur and beauty, but no where have I found any place nor any people that seems so'like my home as here in my old Ninth District. How much I owe to you I can never tell. How much I love yon for the manner in which you have loved and encouraged me, is beyond my power of expression. To you I owe alt that I am. Ever faithful and true, ever affectionate and tender, defending n#e when attacked, you have surrounded me with a cordon of hearts that have always sustained. If I forget you I must be the most ungrateful of men. It has been my aim, as it shall continue to be, to show my gratitude by a faithful observ ance of my pledges to you. Mr. Coliax continued for an hour to speak, not of bonds and taxation, nor of the letter of his competitor, nor of the merits of Sey mour and Grant, lor he respected the pro prieties of his position 100 much to do so. But there was one thing no proprieties could seal his lips upon, that was the declaration of principles in the magna-charta of our liberties. This he discussed with much force, and then proceeded to eulogize the record of the Republican party. At the close of his speech three rousing cheers were given for Colfax, and three for Grunt and Colfax ulid the whole pari;,. Mi. Coliax then essayed to leave the stand, but was so pressed by friends anxious to shake his hand, that a body guard had to be orga nized to get him away from his friends. To-night, a grand torch-light procession is going through the streets. Many of the houses are brilliantly illuminated. - • -O- • The Death of Dr. Gurley.—Rev. P. D. Gurley, formerly Chaplain of the Senate, and pastor and intimate friend of President Lincoln, died at the residence of Judge Casey, in Washington on Friday morning. He had been suffering for more than a year with chronic dyspepsia, which resulted in a malignant ease of nitration of the stomach. His funeral took place on Sunday. Before his death Dr. Gurley dictated the following letter, which he wished read to his congregation, and which was done argccably to his desire on Sunday morning last, at the church, New York avenue and Fourteenth street, by Rev. Dr. Coyle : 2b my Beloved People : I am glad, in the providence of God, 1 am returned to the beloved people of my pastoral charge. I know that my case is critical and my recovery not probable; but my heart’s desire and prayer to God.is that this afflic tion be sanctified and made a blessing to me and mine, to you and yours, and to the precious cause of Christ. I am a great sufferer on this bed of sick ness, and cannot see my dear friends, but 1 have peace in believing in Jesus, and can still commend them to Him whom I have hitherto so often and earnestly preached, and what is now specially needed is a spirit of prayer that this trial may lie sanctified. The question will soon be decided whether 1 am to depart and be with Christ, which is far better, or I be permitted to labor a little longer in the vineyard of tho Lord. In any event, let ns all say “The will of the Lord be done.” THE CAMILLA MASSACRE. 1 DEPOSITION OF MESSRS. PIERCE AND MURPHY. 1 1 Deposition of John Murphy.—On the j morning of the 19th instant I and Wm. P. Pierce started in a buggy from Albany, Ga . to Camilla, Ga., at which place wc were to ' address the citizens, according to notice which had been jirmtcd and circulated through Mitchell county five or six days be fore ; a band of music destined for the same place and occasion left Albany on the even ing of the 18th ; we overtook this band of music about four miles from Camilla, to gether with quite a number of free people, who had been attracted to the road by tho music, and were then in route for the place of speaking; this number continued to augment until we reached Camilla, num bering then, in all (men, women and chil dren), about 200. In about one and a half miles of Camilla we were met by the Sheriff of Mitchell county, Mr. Poor, and several men who represented themselves as a dele gation sent out to meet us, by the citizens of Camilla, to protest against our entering the town of Camilla unless the freedmen who were following the music along the road, would stack their arms. From one* third to one-half these freedmen had shot guns. This protest was made under the Governor’s proclamation forbidding armed organizations. I tried to convince them that this was not an armed organiza tion ; that each man who hud a gun was carrying it as he had a right to do under the Constitution of the State. Captain Pierce and myself told them positively that no order had been given these freedmen to carry their guns to Camilla, and they knew it was a custom all over the whole country, with freedmen, to carry their guns wherever they went. These gentlemen manifested great uneasiness about the safety of Camil la if these freedmen were suffered to enter the town with arms. Captain Pierce and myself gave them assurances of our peace ful intentions, that the rights of the people of Camilla in person and properly were iu no danger of being molested by the colored peo ple, and I proposed to have our speak ing at Dr. Dasher’s, about half a mile from Camilla, on the road we were travel ling. This proposition was agreed to by these gentlemen, one of them saying, “Well, we will let you speak there;” they then left us, riding toward Camilla; Captain Pierce remarked at the time that if Dr. Dasher ob jected to our speaking on his premises we would speak at the Court House ; when we reached Dr. Dasher’s we applied for permis sion to speak on his premises, and he ob jected ; 1 then addressed a note to the Sheriff, stating that Dr. Dasher had refused to let us 'speak on his premises—that we would m t intrude on his right, and would speak at the Court House; this note I sent by a colored man on horseback, but, before he had gone far he met the Sheriff returning to us; a conversation then ensued between Captain Pierce and the Sheriff' which I did not hear; wc then proceeded to Camilla, peacelully following after the music, little dreaming that an armed organization was awaiting our arrival for the purpose of mur dering us; Captain Pierce and Mr. Putney entered the town about two hundred yards in advance of the crowd, for the purpose of alllying the fears of the citizens, which, from the representations of their delegates we thought were aroused by false representa tions of our motives and purposes. Mr. Putney told the freedmen to scatter out along the road and not enter the town, for fear of alarming the people of the place ; thus we entered town in the most perfect quiet. Upon entering I discovered two dif ferent crowds of men ar med with guns ar ranged in such positions as to cross fire over the public square. I then realized the fact that the vague reports among the freedmen that the white men intended to attack us in Camilla were not unfounded. Such reports having been found false so often before, neither Captain Pierce r.or myself believed this one ; unfortunately it proved too true. We went to Camilla, followed by u promis cuous crowd of men, women, and children. Some of the men, as they usually do, car ried their guns with them ; but facts afterward revealed proved that these guns were loaded almost altogether with small shot, and when once discharged the freed men had no more ammunition. It is true Capt. Pierce, Mr. Putney, end myself went well armed ; so we have gone to all other places of public speaking since the present political campaign commenced. Our own experience has taught us to provide against individual attack and insult from certain persons who are found in almost every county in Southwest Georgia. Capt. Pierce and Mr. Putney had alighted from the buggy, ami were standings in the portico of the Court House; the band-wagon was about fifty yards from the Court House, when a man rusbed from near the armed body of men, at a store near by, down towards the wagon, and ordered the music to stop; his • order not being obeved, Ae a double barrelled shot-gun. The position of this man was such, being on the other side of the wagon from me, that I cannot swear posi tively that I saw him point the gun toward the wagon, but I am satisfied that he did shoot into the band-wagon. This fire teas follow'd by a volley from the. crowd at the store!’ I was in the midst of the freedmen, and 1 am confident that not a single shot was fined by them until aftertheman alluded t > had fired, and until the volley had been fired by the crowd. It is true that the volley from the crowd at the store and the volley from the negroes were close together; that from the former was a little in advance, and about the same time the fire was opened from the crowd of white men on the south side of the square, I estimated’the crowd of white men on the west side of the square at fifty men, aud I could not see enough of the crowd on the south side to make a correct e-t-mate of the number. Os course, under this galling and unexpected fire, the negroes fled. The fire from the south side of the square was mainly directed at Capt. Pierce and Mr- Putney, who were standing on the portico of the Court House, as I have been informed. Capt. Pierce, Mr. Putney and myself attempted to rally those of the freed men who had guns in the bottom behind some undergrowth on,the north side of the town, not for the purpose of engaging in the fight, but far tiie purpose of retreating com pactly and holding the mob back from murdering the men, women and chil dren, who were unarmed, scattering and fleeing ; but in this we were unsuccessful. After the first fire, all the freedmen, except not more than six or eight, were unarmed; having no ammunition, delay was found to be impossible, and each man took care of himself. Captaip Pierce, Mr. Putney, and quite a number of freed men escaped byway of the Thomasville 'road through the woods on foot, walking about thirty miles that night and reaching th • residence of Mr. Wrn. W. Fish about daylight next morning. Mr. Joiner and myself escaped in a buggy by the road we came. Amid the conflicting reports it is impossible to make a correct estimate of the killed and wounded. I feel confident, how ever. that fifteen or twenty persons were killed, and about forty wounded. 1 know of but two freedmen killed in the town, where all the resistance on the part of the freed men was made. Ail the others were followed up and shot down as they fled across the fields and woods. Peter Ilincs, the leader of the band, was wounded, and al! the other members of the band were killed or wounded. Mr. Putney was wounded in the arm. 1 was wounded in the ho.id. One expression made by the Sheriff was: “We received a dispatch from Albany thia morning that you were coining to Camilla with an armed force for no good purpose,” induced me to believe the people of Camilla were laboring urider a false representation of our motives and objects. They should have waited, however, before they attempted to kill us, for some hostile demonstration, especially after we gave them notice of our peaceful intentions, and especially do I blame them, let their information have been what it may, for following up the colored people and shooting them. Testimony of Wm. P. Pierce.—This wit ness corroborates the testimony of Captain Murphy, up to the time of the arrival at Camilla, and proceeds thus: Deponent and Mr. F. F. Putney were in a buggy in ad vance, about 200 yards of the music; we drove to the court house and dismounted ; when the music was about <SO or 75 yards of the court-house, deponent saw a white man advance toward the band wagon ap parently much excited and angry ; quite a crowd of white men near a store on the west side of the square, and another crowd on the south side, appeared in the same mood; amid the confusion of the scene a gun was fired ; just then deponent was watching the south side of the square nearest himself, and did not notice which way the gun was pointed. lie has every reason to believe, however, that the gun was in the hands of tho man alluded to, who advanced toward the wagon, and that it was discharged at the band of music. Scarcely had the sound of the gun ceased before the shooting be came general with the crowd on the west side of the square, and the freedmen. De ponent’s position was such that he could not see who next fired, after the shot from the man alluded to. Scarcely had the first vol ley-discharged into the freedmen —died qway before the freedmen were irr full flight. The next volley from tlip whites was directed at deponent and Mr. Putney, who were standing ir. the pojjjico of the Court House. Providentially, however, neither was seriously injured. Deponent followed after the freedmen, and, with Mr. Murphy and Mr. Putney, attempted to rally them in order to hold back the mob, and thereby save the lives of the unarmed and fleeing freedmen; but this could not be done, the freedmen were not prepared for the emergency, and were more disposed to trust to their heels than to their empty guns. De ponent cannot say how many were killed and wounded, since most of the killed were killed after they were scattered and fleeing through the wood. Deponent did not appre hend a general resistance of the people of Camilla to his speaking ; he thought possi bly he might meet with personal insult from a few rowdies, as has been the case at other places, and went there prepared for self defence. Had he believed his right to speak at Camilla would have been resisted, he would have returned to Albany without en tering the town, submitting to sensations of cowardice and lack of manhood rather than have innocent men, women and children butchered. About one-half of the men were unarmed, and the guns they had were prin cipally loaded with bird-shot. . ■ —— A NEW DODGE PROPOSED. We have been credibly informed that there is a class of aspiring gentlemen in New York of tho Democratic faith, and of the Micawber school—we do not learn that there are any Reoubiicans in the ring—who have got up a nice little programme to head off somebody and elect somebody. This is it, as told to us: It is proposed, should the October elections indicate the election of Grant and Colfax, to withdraw Seymour and Blair and nominate Chase and General Franklin ; and in case these elections fore shadow the triumph of the Democratic ticket in November, to bow out Grant and Colfax, and nominate cither Trumbull or Fessenden to lead the ticket, with, perhaps, Hancock for Vice President. Now, we know a story worth any half dozen of this. It is, that in no event will Grant and Colfax be withdrawn. And what is more, they will be elected. These hopeful gentlemen can withdraw Seymour and Blair whenever they please, and put any other “soldier of fortune” in their place, it matters not. They will be defeated.— Washington, (D.C.)
