Albany, Ga., Sept. 20.
I hasten to ley before vour readers an ac
count of the recent important events in this
section. On the loth instant, Capt. Win. P
Pierce, a Kentuckian by birth, a gallant offi
cer of the Union army during the late war, a
staunch Republican, and the regular nominee
of the Republicans of this (second) Congres
sional District for the United States Congress,
proceeded to Americus, Sumter county, a town
hut a few miles from Andersonville, for the
purpose of making his first speech in the can
vass of his district. He was accompanied
by Mr. John Murphy, a native of Indiana, and
now a citizen and the sheriff elect of this
county, elected by a Republican majority of
about 700 in a poll of about 2,200. Reaching
Americus, they registered their names at the
hotel. Five minutes thereafter, they were in
formed by the proprietor that hi3 boarders in
sisted upon hit irrrnwg these gentlemen out of the
house. They were Radicals, they must leave,
or he could not be a landlord of theirs. The
gentlemen replied : “ Erase our names from
your books.” Shortly after this, they address
ed-'the colored Republicans, amid the muttcr-
inps and curses of the white citizens, who were
in town in force. After speaking, they went,
by invitation, to the house of H. K. McCoy, a
Republican, and Associate Chief Justice of the
State. W hile there, the colored Republicans
attempted to inarch through the public square
with drums and fife, though unarmed. They
were ordered by the Judge of the Superior
Court, then in session, to stop the noise, mean
ing that of the drum aud fife. Some colored
rtieD, not hearing the order of the Judge, nor
comprehending the cause of the aessatiou of
music, called out “go on with the music,”
whereupon the whites drew their pistols, shot
guns, etc., and drove the colored men from tht
square. Messrs. Pierce and Murphy, knowing
nothing of this, approached the square paying
little heed to the warnings of the colored peo
ple who told them that the whites had sworn
to kill them. The Mayor addressing the mob
was informed by angry men that the blacks
should not be harmed, but the “ two d d
white scoundrels should die. As Messrs. Mur
phy and Pierce neared the square an old white
roan snia, more to himself than to either of
these gentlemen, “ God d—n you, you’ll nev
er leave that square alive.”
They then turned, and by a cirruituous
route reached the office of Mr. W. C. Morrill,
Agent of the Freedmen’s Bureau, where they
remained concealed thus until after nightfall,
when Mr. Morrill sent his servant with them
through the fields to a point outside the town
where he met them with a wagon, in which
they escaped into Lee county, and thence to
this place. Returning over the road upon
which he had taken out the wagon, Mr. Mor
rill found it picketed by half a dozen armed
men. These men inquired of colored men who
passed over the road, after Mr. Morrill, for two
men, giving a careful description of Messrs.
Pierce and Murphy. That night every road ’
leading from Americus was picketed by arm
ed bodies of white men. Similar bodies of
men kept watch over houses where the two
gentlemen were suppose to be concealed. None
of these gentlemen made any secret of their
intentions of murdering Messrs. Murphy and
Fierce.
Yesterday, 19th inst., Mr. Pierce, accompan
ied by Mr. Murphy, the Rev, F. F. Putney,
Phillip Joiner, (a colored man, recently a mem*
her of the Georgia Legislftt.ui e, but who was
expelled on account of his color,) and about
seventy-five colored men,approached the town
of Camilla, Mitchell county, where Messrs
Pierce, Murphy and Joiner were to address the
colored Republicans. Four miles from Camilla
they were met by a white man named Johns,
who at first stated that he was in search of a
“doctor” to attend a colored man who had
been injured by a falling tree. As soon, how
ever, as he learned the character of the party
approaching, he declared himself a “ courier"
sent to notify Mr. Murphy that the people of
Camilla and of Mitchell county would perm t
uo Radical speaking in Camilla—that the
county was theirs, aud they intended to rule
it.

be obtained are embraced in the following spe
cial dispatch, that was received at this office
last night :
Helena, Ark , Sept. 28.—Genera] Thos. C.
Hindman was assassinated at his residence, in
the midst of his family, at ten o'clock last ev
ening. He was shot through a window near
which he was sitting, with a musket loaded
with buck and ball. He was smoking at the
time. The left band, in which he held his
pipe, was carried away. Ri.d two balls passed
through his neck, severing the windpipe and
producing copious internal bleeding, lie lived
eight hours, and died with sublime courage
and resignation. A deep gioom has been cast
upon the community.
He was a formidable enemy of Radicalism,
and suspicions exist that his assassination was
procured through political causes. All quiet
here to-day.
Yesterday morning Deputy Sheriff Maxey
was killed, and two of his posse wounded, in
attempting to arrest the notorious murdeier,
Lee Morsen, colored. Mo:sen was afterwards
captured and hung, whites and blacks present
sanctioning it. General Hindman bad no con

Col. Beaumount found the tug Nettie Jones,
Captaiu Ford, whose services were at once se
cured. She steamed away after the Slireve,
overhauling her above the Island, and by sig
naling, bringing her to a halt. Once aboard,
a search was instituted for Robertson, who
was readily identified by the description. With
him were his family aud household furniture,
all en route,.he said, to Springfield, Missouri,
where he resided.
He received bis arrest with the utmost com
posure, and not only stoutly denied any knowl
edge of the horrid crime with which he stood
charged, but feigned ignorance of it having
been committed, although the fact was well
known to everybody else on board, and had
naturally been the subject of much comment.
From his own statements to the officers he has
been about Helena tor the past six months, al
though old residents of the place, with whom
we conversed last night, know nothing ot him.
He is pale, has black hair, is about thirty-two
years old, and five feet five inches high. When
arrested he had a rusty repeater, three of
whose chambers contained balls. The tug re
turned with the prisoner, and his wife and
child, about four o’clock, They were placed
ou the Luminary and sent baek to Helcua.

“Well,” said the doctor, “I e it.”
“What do you call that, doctor?”
“I call it iron pyrites.”
“What!” said the man, “isn’t that

“No,” said the doctor, “it’s good for
nothing; it’s pyrites;” and putting some
over the fire iu a shovel it evaporated up
the chimney.
“Wal,” said the poor fellow with a woe
begone look, “there’s a widder woman up
in our town has a whole hiii full ot that,

be brought to trial for the offence with
which he stands charged.
He then dashed off to town, and the party
moved toward the town, not believing that
the people would use force to prevent a politi
cal speech. Mr. Pierce, however, heeded the
warning of the man Johns so ranch as to send
a note by a freedman to the Sheriff ot the
county. The contents of this note are unknown
to your correspondent, but from subsequent
actions of the Sheriff, it is supposed to have
been a note asking the protection of the civil
authorities. At a point two miles from the
town the party wa9 met by> the Sheriff and a
posse. The Sheriff asked that, in deference
to the wishes of the citizens, Mr, Pierce would
not enter the town. Mr. Pierce answered that
as he was violating no law of the county, and
wo right of the people, he would go in town.-
He thought he had the right to do so. Upon
that the Sheriff and his possee, all being arm
ed aud mounted, dashed off to town.
Mr. Pierce, in a buggy with Mr. Putney, pro
ceeded to the town, followed at some distance
by the rest of the party. With these latter
was a plantation'wagon drawn by four mules,
containing the colored band, consisting of two
drummers and a fifer. Messrs. Pierce and Put
ney drove into the town, dismounted from their
buggy, and hitched their horses at the Court
House. At a hundred yards from the Court
House the band-wagon was met by the man
Johns with a donble-barreled'Shot gun, which-
he discharged into the wagon, wounding two
colored men. Upon this, there rose up from
either side of the road, upon which the color
ed people were approaching the town, a large
number of white men, who had been concealed
in the undergrowth, who opened a cros^-fire
upon the colored people in the road. A few
of the colored people having pistols endeavored
to defend themselves, but the majority of them
fled. Messrs. Pierce and Putney rushed towards
the contending parties, Mr, Pierce throwing
up his hands and calling upon the freedmemte
Btop, saying, “ don’t do that, don 1 * do that.”
Upon this, the whites, or a portion of them,
turned upon Pierce and Putney, and fired,
wounding Mr. Pierce in the leg and Mr. Put
ney in the elbow and shoulder. Both, howev
er, took to the woods and escaped, reaching
the plantation of Messrs. Plag and Fish, two
gentlemen from Massachusetts, at 3 o’elock
this morning.
To return to the battle or massacre at Ca
milla. The freedmen who were armed, hav
ing emptied their pistols fled for their lives—
such as had not already been placed hors de
combat—leaving the wounded on the ground.
’She whites pursued, some of them first assur
ing themselves that those colored men left on
the ground were dead by repeated shots at
their prostrate bodies.
Murphy and Joiner endeavored to escape in
their buggy, bat eight miles from Camilla were
overtaken "by five or six mounted mm, both dis
mounted from the bnggy, Joiner taking to the
woods, and Murphy taking refuge in a desert
ed house, where he prepared to sell his life as
dearly as possible. His pursuers surrounded
the house, and demanded his surrender. He
refused, and told them to commence firing.
Benedict Arnold.
One of our English fellow-voyagers—a most
accomplished and agreeable man, but a little
mysterious—with whom 1 had a great deal of
talk, told me this morning, with a good deal ot
ceremony, that he was connected with Ameri
ca ; but be. added ” in a way which 1 think will
horrify you.” Of course my curiosity was piqued,
and I asked him how. He said he had married
a granddaughter of Benedict Arnold ! I did
my best to conceal the national shudder which
I felt curdling my patriotic blood, as I was anx
ious to get the English view of that traitor’s
behavior, from one who-must have the best
reason for entertaining a charitable construc
tion of his behaviour. Hesaid that Arnold was
reputed a very clever man, who convinced of
the hopelessness of the American struggle for
independence, took the best- means which his
important command gave him for bringing its
desperate weakness to an easy death. England
rewarded him and his children with military
rank, and with gilts of Canadian land. He
had three sons ; one who was made a general
in the English army, and was long in command
of Dover Castle He died single, but was much
esteemed aud respected, l’he second was a Col
one] in the India service, and had two chil
dren. It was a daughter of his whom my in
formant had married. She had inherited some
of the very Canadian lands, the limits ot her
grandfather’s crime, so that I was confronted
with one of the chief beneficiaries of the great
treason, which is as fresh in American scorn to
day as when it was committed

or so ago a negro was murdered at La-
Grange a few miles from Helena, Arkan
sas, and as the murderers were black, it
was reported they were Ku Klux. A
Rev. Mr White, Representative in the
Legislature, in preaching in Helena to
the negroes, notified them it would be a
good tune for them to go there armed and
avenge the death of the murdered negro.
On Monday one hundred and fifty two
negroes, armed aud mounted, stated
for Lagrange and it was given out
that Lagrange and Mariaua were both to
be destroyed and vengeance taken on the
white citizens. Great excitement was
produced at Helena among the Conscrva
tives, who went to the leading Radicals
and insisted that they should interfere
and preveut bloodshed—b it they had no
intention of interiering, and seemed grati
fied at the prospect of a decided riot,
which would show the people of the North
what the Radicals had to suffer South
The prominent citizens then very quiet
ly informed the loading Radicals that if
the outrage should be committed, the
bodies ol the pr- uiinent Radicals m Hel
ena should be held as hostages and treat
ed accordingly. This had the desired ef
fect, aud Wygert, editor of the Radical
newspaper, and others, accompanied the
Conservative sheriff, and they arrived in
Lagrange after White had preached and
before any act of violence had been com
mitted, and the mob was quietly dispers
ed. The citizens of Lagrange had made
arrangements to give them a blood}’ re
ceptiou. That is the way to prevent these
outrages, hold the scalawag leaders, who
