General—The numerous malicious and false i
statements that have been given to the public i
through the press, for political and partisan i
purposes, in relation to the trial and the;
treatment of witnesses and prisoners inoplicat- j
ed in the murder of Mr. G. \V. Ashbum. of
Columbus, require on my parta special report,
which is herewith made, and to which 1 beg
to ask that I may be authorized to give that
publicity which my vindication requires. The
accompanying papers contain all the instruc
tions, orders, and telegrams that have emanat
ed from these Headquarters, and the replies
made thereto. A curcful perusal of these pa
pers will give an acurate history of the whole
transaction, and will exhibit the part taken by
each individual, whether military or civil, un

papers, and a succinct statement of the facts

Land slightly undulating, with light grey or
sandy surface soil, two or three inches deep,
with red clay sub-soil; brought into cultiva
tion in April, 1867, and planted in corn and
peas, producing about twelve bustle's of corn
per acre. I commenced in October the pre
paration of the acre, by the removal of stumps
and roots. An old road bed ran through the
acre, which had cut down in the underlying
way from twelve to twenty-four inches. This
clas filled in as wed as the limited t.me would
permit. On the 7th of November. I introduced
the plow, known about Athens as a ripper. It
was two inches wide and fifteen or sixteen iu-
ches long. With this I ploughed the acre close
and deep. I gave the land a second plough
ing with the same ripper, running the rows at
right angles to the first. I then spread upon
the acre seventy' bushels of cotton seed, and
with a Brinly t.vo horse and Nashville plow,

■lred pounds of Augusta fertilizer, and one hun
dred pounds of Peruvian Guano. A manifest
improvement from the top dressing.

While Radicalism is defeated in its attempts
so often made, to force negro suffrage on tite
people of the North at their own homes, yet it
compels the Northern man to swear that lie
will support it forever, and never attempt to
abolish it, before he can live as a citizen in
any' of tlie reconstructed States. Last year
the Radical leaders made negro suffrage an is
sue in Ohio, and were beaten 50,600; yet a
citizen of Ohio cannot be a citizen of Alabama
unless he takes an oath to change bis priuci
On the 10th inst. the military bill was
concurred id and became a law. It pro
vides that the Governor may organize,
arm and call into service a volunteer force
of “loyal men,” of one or more regiments
to each Congressional District.
The following section points out the
conditions under which Martial Law may
be declared, in the several counties, and
j have these “State Guards ’ quartered in
j their midst, and provides that the coun
ties calling for these guards shall pay for
them. This pay idea is the only check
to martial law throughout the State.—
That may make the scalawags pause, and

I WOULD respectfully an
nounce to the citizens of
Newnan and vicinity that I have
secured the services of
bonds to appear and stand their trial. F
ing that owing to the character or this crime,
in a great measure political as well as social,
there was no effort on the part of the community
where it was committed—either through tlie
authorities or among thecitizens—toferretout
tlie guilt3', I deemed it proper to ask of the
War Department that a competent detective
officer should be sent to report to me, that he
might assist Captain Mills in his researches.—
Ou tiie 28lli ot April, Mr. Reed having arrived
from Washington, was .gent. to Columbus to re-
i port to Capt. Mills. On Mr. Reed reaching Co
lumbus, and being made acquainted with the
evidence then procured, he earnestly’ urged
that l send for Mr. Whitely, then in Kansas
in the service of the Internal Revenue Depart
ment. My application to Commissioner Rol
lins being courteously received and acceded to,
Mr. Whitely arrived about May 1st, and was
immediately sent to Captain Mills. Soon after
his arrival at Columbus, Mr. Whitely reported
he was satisfied Captain Mills was on the track
of tiie criminals', and had arrested some of the
principals, but that it was utterly impractica
ble to obtain any testimony from any party in
Columbus, as their lives would he forfeited it
they dared to disclose what they knew, and be
recoin mended that certain parties whom he
believed had a knowledge of the affair, should
be removed to some secure place, where, being
protected, they’ could without fear, disclose
such facts as were in their possession. Upon
receipt ol this communication I authorized the
transfer of the parties named to Port Pulaski,
and directed tlie commanding officer of the
post to permit the detectives, Whiteley and
Reed, to have free access to the prisoners, and
to have a general direction of their treatment.
At the same time I cautioned the detect.ves
that in their efforts to extract the facts as known
to these parties, no unusual, or cruel, or phy
sical menus should be resorted to. The result
of their movements was the disclosure of most
important facts by the several parties who had
not dared to speak out uutil under the protec
tion of the Government. From the statements
made by these prisoners, a number of others
werrt arrested, and brought to Atlanta early
in June. Being compelled to go North myself,
and other circumstances, delayed tlie Military
Commission till late in June. Finding ou my
return, the most false aud exaggerated state
ments in regard to the treatment of witnesses
and prisoners, I called on General Sibley, com
manding the sub-district of Georgia, tor a re
port on their treatment at this post (Atlanta,)
aud on Capt. Mills aud Capt. Cook for reports
as to the treatment of those confined at Cuium-
lumbus and Fort Pulaski respectively. I also
called on Mr. Whitely, the detective, for a re
port on the same subject. All these reports are
herewith submitted, and it will be seen from
them and from the affidavit of the prisoners
themselves attached to Mr. Whitely’s report,
that the exaggerated statements which, for po
litical purposes, the press have given circula
tion to, are all false, and have no foundation
beyond the fact admitted by Mr. Whitely, that
he did operate on the fears of two negroes,
Wells and Stapler, whom he believed knew
something; but that, soon finding that they
knew nothing, they were released, and with the
exception ot threatening to shave their heads
and confining them for some hours in the cell
at Fort Pulaski, previously arranged for the
punishment of refractory soldiers, they were
well treated, and were iu no wise injured. The
trial has been iu progress now some twenty
days, and the evidence for the prosecution

Very poor old field, and had not been culti-,
rated in six or seven VC. 1 r ~. except sown in oats;
once.
Ploughed three times with one-horse scooter
plows and harrowed in the wheat.
Applied seven two-horse loads of stable ma
nure, twenty loads of half-rotted chip and leaf
manure, three loads of ashes well leached, one
thousand pounds of Phaenix Guano and eight
loads of clay—the whole va lued at sixty-three
do lars and fifty cts.
Sowed 15th of October, a red bearded varie
ty, slow in maturing, and not prolific—is
thought to be anti-rust wheat. Sowed two
bushels, but having harrowed in, am satisfied
the drought killed more than half, as it sprout
ed. If the whole had come up aud grown, am
satisfied that the yield would have been at
least, double.
Top-dressed about the 10'h of March, with
250 lbs. Peruvian Guano.
The season was very unfavorable for wheat.
Several storms blew my wheat down, when
iu bloom and heading out. Tlie last storm was
a whirlwind, and at the time the wheat was in
the milk, from which it never rallied. One-
third of the acre, at least, was flat on the
ground when cut. It suffered but little from
rust. Rabbits and dogs injured me at least
one-fourth.
Cut ray wheat on the 4th dav of June.

The land was poor upland—had been culti

I had the land broken up by a two-horse

Threw up in beds 16 feet wide, leaving a wa
ter furrow between the beds.
I then opened a furrow with a turning shov
el, on the middle of the ted—sowed cotton
seed and covered with the next furrow. I con
tinued this process uutil I had sowed 70 bush

I applied a top dressing in the spring, of

COL. barrow’s reply.
Tlie soil upon which my- wheat was grown
when cleared of the original forest and fresh—
was thin and poor—grey land ; and by repeat-^
ed croppings, had been utterly exhausted and]
abandoned by its former owner. When I came'
into possession it was grown thinly o'er with;
stunted pines. Several large gullies had hern
washed through it. I took a very poor crop of
wheat from it the season previous.
Last summer I sowed iu peas at the rate of
two bushels per acre, aud these I turned un-
’der in September with a two-horse plow. The
,first week iu November, I spread over it cot
ton seed, at the rate of one hundred bushels to
the acre—ploughed these under wiih a one-
horse Brrnly plow, and pulverized the land
pretty well, though not thoroughly.
I then sowed two bushels Tappannock wheat,
150 pounds of Reid’s phosphate, aud 2-30!
►pounds of Peruvian Guano upon it, per acre; 1
ploughed in all with a common rooter plow,
finally dragging a brush over it till it was'
smooth. Tlie cotton seed were worth twenty*
cents per bushed. The phosphate cost me two
and a half cents and the guano five cents per
pound. In the gullies and clayey places the
stand was injured by winter killing. I did no
thing more to it till the third of June, when it
was cut with Dr. Long’s Buckeye Reaper. 1
lost some from rust on the blade, and fell down
in two small spots. The acre made twenty-
seven bushel. Two gallons of clover seed were
sown upon the acre.
Respectfullv,
DAVID G. BARROYY.
Yieid of acre 27 bushels.
REPLY OF COL. B. C. YANCY.
The acre of ground I used for sowing wheat
w-as poor in quality. Its capacity accurately
ascertained from its yield last year, without
manure, only seven bushels per acre. In cul
tivation many years—how many not known to
me.
The land was broken last year hy a two-horse
Brinly plow, followed by a two-horse subsoil
plow. It was cros^broken with a two-horse
plow. It was rolled, after the use of the har
row, just before sowing.
Sixty bushels and a half of cotton seed, two
barrels of bone flour, two bushels of salt, eight
bushels of ashes, seven hundred and fifty lbs.
of Peruvian Guano, and one bairel of land
plaster were used as fertilizers. The salt and
his absolute equality with tlie white race. Are
you who are living in the descending waters
of the Mississippi Valley—tiiose channels
which nature made for your communication,
trade and social intercourse with tlie South—
are you willing to be hailed on the borders or
Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, or Alabama
by a negro sentinel and made to swear alle
giance to negro suffrage? You would re
pudiate it by a hundred thousand majority in
Indiana ; yet in one third of tlie boundaries of
tiie Republic no one of you cannot be a citizen
who does not embrace it, and seal his degrada
tion by an oatli—an oath reaching to all the
future, and excluding in advance every reason
which might dictate a change hereafter. Tlie
whole Soutli is thus to be africanized, her
ciiviization destroyed, her fields of cotton, su
gar, rice, corn and tobacco made barren and
ii.if.'. ' I'lctive; her capacity to assist you in pay
ing the taxes oi country, stricken down,
and all her fruitful lands ami mighty rivers
denied to you and your posterity. I am no ioe
to the black man. I would make the govern
ment a blessing and not a curse to him. In the
work of his own hands heshould eat his bread,
and I would protect him in the fruiis of his in
dustry. Nor would I tax him for the educa
tion of his children. But from all participa
tion in the affairs of the Government I would
exclude him in all the Stales, as yon do here
in Indiana. The example of the Almighty, the
teaching of all history, and the deep philoso
phy of human nature ail denounce the com
mingling of separate and distinct races. It is
an unmitigated curse to both. Prosperity ne
ver blessed a land that attempted it. Every
age and every dime in the annals of the hu
man race proclaims this great fact. I am, there
fore, for the supremacy of tiie white race, and
the rule and government of the white man.
He alone, of all the tribes and kindreds that
have peopled the earth since the stars held
high jubilee in the sky together, has shown
himself capable of self-government. Into his
bauds, and his alone, would I commit the
mighty mission and lofty destiny of my coun
try. And sooner or later, to this doctrine we
will all come, with one mind and with one
heart regardless of party ties or party names.
Then will our country rise from her distrac
tions and calamities, and present her bright
forehead without spot or wrinkle to the gaze
of uations.

Mill, on the Third street road, some three
miles from the city. Were the locality
in “poor Tennessee,” the material for a

Spring. About teveniy-five dollars money j or J e r, would he ready to dish up, and the

Oglethyrpe county, believed by me to be the
Schley or Gayle wheat—three bushels to the
acre.
Rather a wet winter, peculiarly unfavorable
to the locality, as it was level upland; and this,
ditched in two sides, was rather a basin re
ceiving the surplus water from the other two
directions, which rose gradually.
In addition to an annual leaf mould, mv
At a late hour a few nights since, the
employees m Christmas Mill (who, by tne
way, have all been in service in the Fed
eral army) were startled hy the sudden
appearance of a body of armed neeroes,
who surrounded the mill, with the evident
intention of taking forcible possession of
the whole concern, and bringing the loose

New York, Sept. 12.—The Guiding
Star, from Aspinwall, brings the Evening
Telegraph the following : On the 13th
ultimo, a terrible earrhquakejvisited^cities
along the coast of Peru and Equador,
whereby th'rty-two thousand lives were
lost, and property valued at three hun
dred million dufiars destroyed. A rumb
ling sound preceded the earthquake, and
the sea was greatly agitated, and flooded
the land for a great distance. Ateguissa,
a city of thirty-five thousand inhabitants,
passed away, scarcely a vestige being left.
Only four hundred lives were lost here.—
Africa, a town of twenty five thousand in
habitants, was also destroyed, leaving not
a house standing. Five hundred perish
ed. here.
A tidal wave, forty feet high, rolled
with terrific force over on the shore, car
rying ships farther on the land than ever
before known. The United States store-
ship Fredoni.i was capsized and all on
board lost. The Fredonia had a million
eight hundred thousand dollars worth of
naval stores. The vessel rolled over and
smashed to atoms. The United i?tate.s
steamer Wateree was half a mile inland
and left high and dry. Only one sailor
was drowned, which was owing to the
great distance. She never can get afloat
aga d. The Peruvian corvette, America,
was aiso carried ashore and thirty-three
persons belonging to her were drowned,
i'he Aim-rican merchatrnan, Rosa Rivers,
the English ship Chanticleer, and the
French barque, Edwards, were lost. The
town ot iqu.que, Moquega, Lerumba and
Pisaqua were all utterly destroyed. Over
six hundred persons perished at Iquique.
The American merchants' loss is heavy.
N* any all are totally ruined.
The towns of Iquarra, San Pablo and
Mean tad are in ruins. The populations
<>f these towns were almost entirely de-
etroye.d. Pamcho, Puilero aud Cachugiga
were also destroyed. The dead were so
