["Correspondence of tbc News and Herald.]
St. Johns River, Oct. 19, 1866.
I presume the citizens of Savannah are
not generally aware that by constructing a
canal from Lake Harney, the head of steam
boat navigation on Ibis river, to Indian river,
a distance ot only twelve and a halt miles,
there would be a couti nuous inland route for
light draught steamers from your city to Ju
piter Inlet, six hundred and fifty miles- Two
hundred miles of tbe Southern end of foe
route lie in a strictly tropical climate.
Oranges, lemons, pineapples'and bananas
grow there to as perfect a state as anywhere
within the belt of the tropics.
By the construction of what is called tbe
“Live Oak Connection,'’ the people of Geor
gia have shown a commendable spirit. -Tier -G
don’t stand on ceremony, bat are willing to
come among us to cultivate good neighbor
ship. That road places Tallahassee and
many other important points in this State in
daily communication with Savannah by rail
road. The travel and traffic thus opened up
to your city by the Gulf Railroad will ex
ceed the expectations of the most sanguine-
Since the autumnal gales the weather is
most favorablu for cotton. The crop is now
being gathered, a good share of which will
find its way to your market.
Box the political compass as you will, it
points all the time Radical. Every olection
return from the North is an echo of triumph
for the Jacobins. If the Freedmen’s Bureau
bill, tbe Civil Rights bill, the Constitutional
amendment nnd Brownluw’s programme are
to be forced upon the South, better by far
accept the terms proposed by Chief Justice
Chase : “Universal amnesty and universal
suffrage.” Under this regulation negroes
and white folks would start even, and the
two races would demonstrate to the world
by a fair race which was to lead.
Our Legislature meets the second Wednes
day in November. The choice of a C. 8.
Senator gives more than ordinary interest to
the session. I suppose the collected wisdom
of the State will choose the ‘‘flttlnes! man’
to that high office. The objections urged
against Gov. Marvin are numerous—he as
sumes to rule and not represent the people—
aiUapologist for radicals in this State whom
their neighbors and the people generally de
test, &e. Judge J. -J. Finley and others are
mentioned in connection with that office.
The sale of the Florida Rill road meets
with general favor. The step was necessary
to put it in operation. By tbe first of Janu
ary next it is hoped trains will pass between
Fcrnaadina and Cedar Keys. Fred.
LETTER FROM 6KN. TILL SON.
‘ Not long since we published a series of re
solutions passed by a meeting of the citi
zens of Henry county, in this State, in
regard to alleged outrages committed upon
the Freedmen living in that county. The
following reply to thoae resolutions from
Gen. Tillson, we find in the Augusta Chroni
cle of the 19th inst.:
Hd’qu Sub-Dist. or Geobgia, 1
Ami Adj. Gen.'s Office. S
August*, Oa., Ocr. IS, 18G0. )
Gentlemen : I have tbe boner to acknowledge tbe
receipt of your communication or tbe 8th inat., for
warding copies of resolutions adopted In pubbe meet
ing I y tbe citizens of Henry county.
In reply, 1 beg leave to moke tbe following state*
moot: On the 18th Ray of last, reports reached these
headquarters of outrages upon freed people and
threats on the part of the citizens to shoot Mr. Philips,
agent of the Bureau, if he dared to arrest any person
for whipping a "damondnegro.”-
May 25.—Similar reports were received.
July 20. Information reached these headquarters
of the existence of a gang of Jayhawkers in Henry
county, who were whipping, robbing and killing freed
people, and driving them from plantations where
they were employed.
Jnly 31.—I addressed a letter to the Judges of the
Interior Court and the Sheriff of Henry county, call
ing upon the civil authorities to enforce the laws and
protect the freed people.
This letter was sent through Ur. Philips, who re
ported its delivery, and the reply of the Judges and
Sheriff that they “could not do anytliiug.” He fur
ther reported that the outrages upon the freed people
awilcoaiifjgued.
ArifiS* 32.—One Ck D. Gardiner whipped a ireed-
girl m5at unmercifully. The blood was oozing Horn
her hack and arms when she presented herself before
the agent. Gardiner was arrested by the soldiers on
duty with the agent, and afterwards released on a writ
of habeas corpus Issued by the Hon. 8. O. McDaniel,
Judge of the County Court. The agent was instructed
to re-arrest Ur. Gardiner and hold him uuder Gen
eral Orders Ho. M (O. S.) from Headquarters of the
Army—unless tile civil authorities instituted proceed
ings against him. The Judge of the county was in
formed of tha instructions to the agent.
About that time the gang uf outlaws, before referred
to, murdered a treedwomau. The agent reported that
he aaked the Judge if the guilty parties would be tried
by him if they were arrested by the agent. The
Judge replied that he would not—that the arrest
would be illegal. In addition to these reports, others
were received from Captain Walbridgo, V. 8. A.. Com
missioner at Atlanta, and Captain Killers at Griffin—
that freed people who bad been subjected to crnelues
in Henry county, had appeared before them tonu.ku
complaint—bearing upon their bruised aad bloody
persona the proof ot their statements.
Capt Walbrldgo states that frequent complaints
reached him from Henry county, that the inhabitants
attacked the scholars and teachers of lreedmen schools
stoned them on their way home and threatened
•< to kill every damned nigger or white man who up
held the csUbliahmeut and continuation of the nigger
school.” He further states that he notified the civil
authorities and called upon them to remedy toe evil,
but they took no notice of it, aud claimed they could
not. Iu one mstanoe a freedwoman was tearfully
buaton—her person outraged and afterwards subjected
to cruelties so atrocious and revolting that a descrip
tion would be unfit for publication.
On one occasion, after Mr. Poillips had arrested a
man in pursuance of orders from these Headquarters
—a mob of armed citizens of the couuty, numbering
thorn one hundred to two hundred, compelled Mr.
Philips to release the prisoner. On another occasion
a United Stales soldier in the performance of his duty,
was fired upon, and on many uthor occasions the
rightful authority of thu Government of the United
States has been insulted, defied aud treated with con
tempt by the citizens and civil authorities uf Henry
couuty.
Mr. Phillips reported to me personally, that he
called upon the Sheriff of Henry couuty, aud a,ked
him to arrest certain parties charged with commitiiug
outrages on freed people. The Sheriff replied that ”it
would be unpopular to pnnish white men for any
thing done to u negro; itmlgtit be unsafe; that he
was not going to obey tbe orders of any damned
Yankee, and that the rebellion was hot over yet in
Hpnry county.”
Pacts which have come to my knowledge through
other Bourocs leave hut little room to doubt the trutu
of this report. But whether or not the civil authori
ties have et any time used the language reported, Is
of little oonsequence: it can be established by positive
proof that they have not diligently exercised their
authority to preserve order and maintain peace, aud
that they have shown no little activity in releeeiug
How Forney Tnlks to the President.
[Correspondence of the Philadelphia Pre-s.
Washington, Oct. 11,1866.
In the summer of 1865, while Andrew Johnson was
contriving and conspiring with the Copperheads, he
told more than one of tbe sympathizers: with treason
that if there was an attempt to impeach him he would
arrest both Houses of Congress. At that time the idea
of resorting to the ultimate constitutional remedy was
so far from the conception of the Republican leaders
that those of them who believed he was plotting with
the enemies of his country, and preparing to betray
the party that had elected him Vico President, were
so few that when they gave ntterauee to their suspi
cions they were ridiculed or denounced. Vet it is
susceptible of proof that, more than a year' ago, he
spoke of aruabnir Congress to prevent his impeach
ment to the just-defeated Heister Clymer, when that
personage visited Washington and began tbe confi
dential intercourse which ended in bis nomination as
the Copperhead candidate for Governor of Pennsyl
vania. A fact so patent aud potential proves that
while Andrew Johnson was projecting treason, to his
friends and his country, be Was also sutieipsting the
punishment of that treason. The current threat of
impeachment is therefore simply tbe echo of his own
m fears.: But Andrew Johnsou can avoid the
ntion he has deliberately courted ever since
the recoyery ot William H. Seward. Even he
must by Jthis time be convinced that the American
people have to tar recovered their power thit they are
equal-to any emergency, and more than equal to his
extremeat treachery. That Congress coulu impeach
him and ho sustained by the people is sufficiently de
monstrated by the manner in which the peopld car
ried the late elections over his head, in spite of'his
frauds, patronage and combinations. Three short
days ago he attempted to feel the popular pulse hi re
gard to his favorite revolutionary programme. The
iDstaut aud terrible repudiation, even of the hint of
that oulrjgc, extorted from him an equally instant
denial of wuat he has so long been plotting. The only
way for him to avoid impose iment Is 'a retnovo the
causes for impeachment It is, X repeat, me most
childish folly to suppose that the great American peo
ple far to exercise their rights under the Constitution
agalust a faithless, insane, or tyrannical Executive,
and lie will realize this fact sooner than any other if
he attempts to defy or take issue with them. It re
mains with Andrew Johnson, between now and the
short session of the Thirty-ninth Congress, to decide
whether or not the representatives of the American
people shall arraign him for impeachment according
to the forms of the National Constitution.

Robert Ouia, Richmond. Fa.:
My Deab Sib:— In my recently published history
of the war, entitled “The Lost Oauue,” 1 have devoted
an entire chapter to the exchange of prisoners and
their treatment In the prieotfs of each belligerent. . I
have on these subjects stated certain f*c a which 1
believe Xvere not entirely known even to the people
of the South, and which appear to have startled the
Northern public and to have shaken the judgment
formed at the trial of Wire. The New York Times
says theso statements “might deserve attention, if
tho author gave i is authority for them.”
Now. sir, will you do me the favor to examine tbe
chapter of “Tko Lost Cause” referred to, and say how
liir its statements are sustained by your correspon
dence and personal recollections in your offioe of
Confederate Commissioner for tho exchange of
prisoners. / I refer especially to those statements
which contain the now version ot Andersonville, aud
the extraordinary circumstance that, in 1861. the
Confederate authorities offered to return the sick wad
wounded Federal soldiers without equivalents I Ex

a uestion is of "great importance; if ia a vital.point in
10 historical reputation of the South; and lam not
disposed to pasB by a challenge so distinct aud pointed
as that of the Times.

Protege of Mrs Jeff. Davis.—Tho
Christian Register tells tbe following: A
little boy was baptized on Sunday afternoon
at tbe church in Indiana place, Boston, whose
history was interesting. After Jefferson Da
vis was taken prisoner, Mrs. Davi3 sent this
little colored boy (almost white, howevef),
about seven years old, to General Saxton,
with a lefer, iu which she told him this
story: She said that in 1861, passing a house
in Richmond, she heard a child scream, and
going iu, found this child, whose mother was
a freo colored woman, who left him at ber
death in the care of others, who ill treated
him. Mrs. Davis said she took .the child
home, and they all became very fond o>f him.
Hu shared tiu-ir fortunes and mislortanue, and
when obliged to fly from Richmond they
took him wi ll l liera She requested General
Saxton to treat him well, which it is not ne
cessary to aay be did. But when General
Saxton was removed from the Department,
he gavu. tbe child to the care of .one of tbe
tcacherg of tbc Educational Commission, wno
has brought him North, and introduced him
to Christian institutions last Sunday. The
little boy is very bright and sweet, and-is i
great tavorite. Who wishes to lake him and
bring him up ?
