FRANCIS S. BARTOW.
BY PAUL H. HaYNE.
lAUriAAi
He felL as the stricken Eagle would fall
Thro* the fields of light, from the realm of the sun
And who could dream of the shroud and pall.
In tne blaze of the fame he won t
’Mid the shining ranks of our martyred brave,
Whose bio 3d makes sacred tne wave and sod,
What noble spirit dared all, to save—
To save the shrines of his home, and his God ?
I saw him last, begirt by the Pride,
The Flower, and the Grace of his native Land,
As with tongue like a trumpet, and eagle eyed,
He spoke for that proud young band 1
if.
He plighted hi3honor—the high-toned Chief!—
As a Father might, for the sons he knew.
That the record tney left, be it gory and brief,
Shonld yet,—be gallant and true:
And his word, in the lurid, and raging strife
Of the battle-storm, was redeemed that morn,
When his best, and his boldest passed from life,
While a nation’s sonl was born:—
He looked on his children, (they called him sire),
Fair, beardless boys, as the hurtling Death
Swept over their lines with a trail of fire.
And the smoko ofhto poiapn breath:
And the breast of Barlow thrilled with a pang I
But his grasp grew fierce on the vengelul brand,
And bis voice with the swell of a clarion rang,
As he rallied his own “Command.”
And beardless and fair, tffose youths rashed oa.
Tue gleam of his sword their star of doom,
Where the piercing shiek, or, the stifled groan
Went np from the depths of the Gloom.
IX.
Once more, for a moment, flashed his blade.
And his war-cry pealed like the wild sea blast.
But the next, "they have Killed me boys l*' he said,
“Yet I CHABGE YE 1 FIGHT TO THE LAST P’
But thou cans't not die 1, in t he hearts of the Free,
Thou shalt live with the noble and grand of earth,
And the colnmn of Love they shall rear into Thee,
Will be purer than gold in its wortn.

One Negro /Drowned and Four Stabbed.
E&rl^ yesterday morning the steamer Ajax started
on an excursion to Tybee, having on hoard a large
numb er of negro men and women, said excursion
being under the auspices or the Savannah Saxehorn
Bind, and aaid excursionists under the influence of
liquor. The eteamer arrived safely at Tybee and
turned aronnd to return, when a negro named Wm.
Murray fell overboard and was struck by the paddle-
wheel and knocked into J>lts. Tlio fragments of his
body were not recovered.
.The negroes on board commenced i playing cards,
ana kept It np until nearly off Fort Jackson, when
a fiiffientty en&aeS at S can! tabio and a row com-
! taenird, parttc’E fas'by about a dozen- Eugene
} Morehaao. who a abort time since killed Jackson
1 Eland In a auel, endeavored to stop 'the roar, when

Darina the difficult/ George Knight was s obbed
in the band and in the hip. Phillip Maxwell in the
face, and another negro received a slight flesh stab;
others were braised by mtlota. Morebead’s wounds,

f
the police ordered out under arms.
List night a difficulty occurred between Isaac
Bnesell, Deputy City Sheriff and Constable of this
county, and William Robert Hopkins, the Radical Tax
Receiver, which resulted in the killing of the latter hy
the former. , ,
THE SHOOTING
was done aboat nine o’clock, and in the bar-room of
Mr. Frank Gager, located near the corner of Mont
gomery and Gaston streets. About' the hoar men-
tioned, Mr. Ras?ell went over to the bar-room, which
ia only a few yards distant from his father's (Oapt .
r. M. Russell's) residence, and sat down, asking at
the same time if his brother was there. Hopkins was
standing \n the room, and said that he learned theTe
were “some G—d d—m rebel s—ns of b—hs who
were going to arrest him;” that he’d “like to see one
of them do it;’* and. with a slight pmse:—“Here 1
one of those G—d d—d rebel s—ns of b—hs in here
now.” Mr. Russell, judging that the remark was in_
tended for him, arose, and .thinking that Hopkins
was slightly under the influence of liquor, said:
“Hopkins, 1 don't want to have anything to do with
yon; go away.“ Hopkins then drew a pistol and
struck Rnssell over the head with the bdtt or it and
then clutched him, at the same time calling liim a
G—d d—d 8—n of a b—h. Russell drew back a little
and partially freed himself from Hop^ina’ grasp,
drew his pistol and fired four times in quick succes
sion. Hopkins fell and expired almost without a
groan. Rnssell, faint from the loss of blood from
the wounds in his head, staggered out of the room
and gave himself up to Policeman Metz>er, who, at
tracted, by the shots, had just come cp. He was then
taken to the Oonnty Jail.
the wounds
A short time after the death of Hopkins, his body
was carried to his father's (Oharles H. Hopkins’) resi
dence on Jones, between Barnard and Whitaker
streets. The family had only a few moments notice
of ; the death before the body was brought in, when en
sued a heartrending scene of wailing for the young
est son and loved brother. Cjnstable Barthel-
mess summoned Dr. Robert P. Myers, fCor
oner,) who repaired to the house and examined
the body, which was laid on its hick. He
fonnd that four shots bad entered it, any one
of which would have proved fatal. One shot en>
tered about an inch below and to the right, one about
an inch below and to the left, and one about an inch
and a half immediately below the left nipple. The
other shot entered the lsit coilat bone. Three of the
8hotsmnst have pierce! the heart. It was not ascer
tained whether any of the shots passed through the
body. There was very little external bleeding.
ATTEMPT TO LYNCH MB. PUsSELL.
Mr. Hopkins' body had not grown cold before a
number of negroes assembled aronnd and com
menced to discuss the affair in a very excited manner,
andbefoxethe body was removed the rolling and
tapping of a drum was heard, and soon several hun_
dred negro men, women and children collected in
the vicinity, but only about one hundred were at first
violent. They thinking that Mr. Rnssell bad gone
to his lather's residence, went over there, and bran
dishing their axss and clubs—several displayed Art*
arms—uttered threats against Mr. Rnssell; and be
coming further excited,started to break in the honse
bat dpon : being; informed thait Mr. Russell had been
arrested and carried to the jsil, reluctantly fell back,
many of them crying oat, ."let's go to jail and get
him,” and a number started for that place, but were
dissuaded by two or three citizens who had come np.
The mob was excited to the highest pitch, and a se
rious outbreak was imminent.^ Load and frequent
were the remarks—“G—d d—m him;” 4 *He’s nothing
bat a d—m rebel;” “We have foti^ht in the war, and
know how to fight; let’s kill the rebels;’’ * kill every
rebel that dares to shoot a Republican ;’* "We are Rad
icals, and won’t submit to have our men shot;” “let's
get Russell and kill him, anyhow;*’ "We can take him
oat of jail,” Ac. Such were some of the remarks and
cries of this ignorant and blood-thirsty mob.
THE POLICE UNDER All 113.
The news of the gathering of the mob spread rapid
ly throughout the city, and many of the citizens
■turned out with arms. Tho police were ordered out
with muskets and bayonets and marched to the ecene
of the occurrence, but before their arrival most of
the rioters had dispersed and things bore quite a
peaceful aspect compared with that of a short half
hour before. The negroes did not leave the vicinity
entirely, but in groups of four or five conversed very
excitedly. The police were posted about, and their
presenca restored everything to quiet.
MB. BUSSELL’S CONDITION.
He* as stated, was carried bleeding to the j til
Sometime after his arrival there Dr. Myers came
in and dressed his wonnd3. He fonnd sevepti
contusions on the top of the head, which mast
have taken more than one blow to h*ve made
them. The sufferer was very weak from loss
of blood. His wonnds are painful, but can
hardly be considered of a serious character. He
claims that the killing was done in self-de’ense. The
pistol used by Mr. Russell was a revolver (belt size).
THE PARTIES.
Mr. Rnssell is about twenty three yeira of age, has
for some time past filled the offices of Deputy Sheriff
of the city and Constable of the connty. His efficient
and impartial discharge of the duties of these offices
have wonlor him a host of frienda.and his coolness and
promptness,in time of danger the admiration of all.
Last spring a year ago Mr. Rassell arrested Mr. Hop
kins upon a warrant charging him with killing a ne
gro woman. Hopkins abased him very much at the
time of his arrest, and has always been very bitter
against him since; and probably this was the emse
of the difficulty list night, which unfortunately re
sulted in biB death.
Wm. Robert Hopkins is aboat twenty-one years of
age and the youngest son of the well known Chas. H.
Hopkins, of this city. At the last election he was
elected by the Radicals Tax Receiver for Chatham
connty.
The Coronor’s inquest will be b'eld at the residence
of the deceased to-day, when the testimony of all
who witnessed the affair will be elicited.
NEGRO MOBS MUST BE STOPPED.
All over the South tho.negroes whenever any fan
cied wrong is done them assemble at« given signal;
usually the rolling of a dium, and commit, or are
folly prepared to commit deeds of blood or
lawless violence. The assemblage of the ne
groes last night immediately after the tapping
of the dram shows that they are organized and have
given signals by which they can be collected
at any point in a few moments. This state
of affairs bode no good to oar citizens. Ar
guments ana kindness have been resorted to without
avail, for they still act in accordance with the teach
ings of their leaders, and, in various ways, set at de
fiance civil authority. This condition of things has
caused a jnst apprehension on the part of our law-
abiding citizens, and must not be permitted to exist
No class of our people have any right, legal.or moral,
to associate themselves in secret organizations tor the
purpose of combined action against the peace of the
community.
The law is ample for the* protection of all classes,
and such associations, so liable to resnlt in
fearful consequences, especially in such a mixed
population as oars, are unjustifiable, and should
not be permitted by the authorities.'
promp: appearance of the police with muskets and
bayonets test ought was necessary to allay the appre
hensions of our citizens. We hope that t|iis matter
will be investigated and a remedy promptly applied.
