From the Morning News. Deo. 31st.
]n tlic Morning News of In-day wo
jravc a detailed neconnt of Sheriff Doo
ner’s trip to the Ogecctwe river pbnifa
tions to arrest a party of negrxs!. against
whota warrants had been issued for lar
ceny and assault with intent to murder.
The Sheriff and his officers barely cscaj)
cd with theii lives and tin: scenes which
occurred while they were down in that
country among the negroes they slate
tobe indescribable. Thu negroes acted
like a pack of demons; they could scarce
ly refrain from slaying the parly, and
shouted, yelled and conducted themsel
ves in a most mitrngßoiis manner. They
appeared to lie thoroughly organized,
armed and with new muskets, with bsyo
nets, and to have regular leaders or Cap
tains, who directed all tliejr movements.
Negroes, whom the white gentlemen
present had never seen before and whom
they did not know, suddenly appeared
and were rocogiYzed as leaders by the
negroes.
EBCAI*E OF CAPT. TUCKF.R AX!) MAJ. MIDDLR
TON.
The Sheriff rand bit* posse wore accorn
panied to the plantations of Uapt. i. F.
Tucker and Major Mott Middleton. I lieso
gentlemen also went back to station No.
1 with and left them there and then re
lumed to their own plantations. Fin
ding that there was some trouble brew
ing and bearing threats against theii
lives they started on horseback to leav.
that section and return to tiie city. Know
ing that the negroes were in the vicini
ty of station No. 1, they struck off in
another direction, reached the river were
ferried across and arrived at No. 1 \ just
as the train was leaving there for Savrui
nah. They wtre taken on board and ar
rived at this city early this morning.
SUBSEQUENT RIOTOUS ACTS OF THE NEGROES.
Having driven off the sheriff and his
officers the negroes appeared to have
divided themselves into companies each
under command of a captain, and they
thus marched back to the plantations.
On their wav they met George Baxley,
one of Mr. Middleton’s overseers, whom
thev surrounded in the woods and rob
bed’ of his gun and everything that he
had about him. One <4 them struck him
with the butt of a musket, and they
threatened to kill him. The negro wo
men appeared particularly anxious to
have him murdered. Finally however,
they released him, ami lie started off
through the field to Southfield Planta
tion. When near there lie heard shots
fired and shonlsjand yells. He met his
brother, a lad, of twelve years of age,
who had fled from the place and who
to'd him that a gang of negroes had
been there sacked the honees, and driv
en his father away. The two then turn
ed in an opposite direction, ascertained
the route taken by Messrs. Middleton
and Tucker, and proceeded to follow
them. Arriving at the riv r, they found
an old canoe and met a fisherman who
was also endeavoring to escape. The
I latter and tlto boy got into tinj canoe
and started across. It was not large
I enough to contain the whole party and
i George Baxley had to swim the river !
| Having pirt the stream between them I
! selves and the negroes they proceeded !
to make tlieir way to this city. They
j were pursued all the way to the river
bank by a gang of the blacks.
Til Eli! OPERATIONS AT SOUTHFIELD PLANTATION.
About four o’clock ill the afternoon
one company of negroes numbering a
-1 Knit twenty, with muskets and fixed
; bayonets, headed by a captain, with a
: sword, came marching up the road to
Southfield plantation. Mr. Reddin Bax
ley, R. C. Winn and Janies Donnell were
in the barn yard. The negroes came
intofbc enclosure and proceeded to at
tack two colored men, .who were employ
ed as watchmen on the plantation. Those
men Fortune Brown and George Bunyaii
rau, and shots were tired at them by the
, pasty. One negro was seen to run up
,to Fortune and make a hinge at him
with a bayonet, lie fell but whether!
;he was killed or not is not known as
none of the white men saw him after
wards. The negroes then turned to Mr.
Baxlev and demanded to know where
Mr. Middleton had gone at the same j
time uttering the most horrible impre j
cations against that gentleman and
George Baxley, swearing that iliey
would kid them. They pointed their I
muskets at Baxley and declarad that
they woul& kill him if lie did not tell
hilu the truth. He mad* answer that
he believed they had gone over to Bryan
county. This party then went oil' in the
direction of the river.
ATTACK UPON MB. WINN.
In the yard, one of the negroes had
pointed a pistol at Mr. Winn, and threat
ened to shoot him. After this gang
left he went irom the yard to his house
situated out on the road. As lie reach
ed it he saw another company coining
up. Feeling himself powerless to make
any resistance against such a crowd, he
stood in the doorway of his house and
wailed their coming. Ilia frightened
wife and children gathered about him all
expecting that the negroes were lin
ing to murder them . When about fif
ty yards from the dwelling they motion
ed to Winn to leave the door; and he ex
peeling that they were going to shoot
jumped out in front of the house and a
way from the door io save his wife and
children from being fired at. As he
jumped he was caught by the arms by
[ two negroes who had come up and they
I held him while a third struck him a tre- ■
! mend-ms blow over tbu right eye
| the butt of a musket. He fell senseless
at their feet and the blood flowed pro
fusely from (lie wound. The scoundrels,
| supposing him to be dead lefL his place.
Oh recovering Mr. Winn arose from the
; ground an I sat down upon a chair, with
the blood still streaming from his fore
bond. While sitting tlHiro, another no—
, gro came up, cocked and'pointed uYnus
-1 hot at his wife saying—“ You’ve got a
gun in there, you bring it out
I here.” She gave the negro the gnn
: when be said there was another, and ho
wanted that also. She then gave him a
i rilie which was in the house and he went
away after saying to Mr. Winn, that, he
| itad hotter leave quick or they would
murllcr him. His wife implored him to
I go, saying that she and tlio children
would beg protection and shelter from
the tiegr*> women at the quarters, and if
that was refused would try and make
I their way to the city. lie then left the
j house and proceeded about fifty yards
j out into.a field whore he lay down in
j the high grass to conceal himself until
dark.
ATTACK UPON MR. JSAXT.F.Y.
After the first gang quitted the prem
i isos, Mr. Baxley left the yard and went
!up to his house. He was sitting in one
iof the rooms when the gang which had
attacked Winn came np to his door.—
Some of thorn marched into the house
and ordered him to come out. As lie:
. was in the act of rising from the chair,
he was seized by two or three of them |
and dragged out into the entry where j
he was suddenly struck on the back ol
the head with the butt of a musket. A
second blow on the side of the head fell- '■
lod him senseless to the floor. When ho
! recorded tiis senses the negroes were I
i around him kicking him. They then ;
dragged him outside and told him that
| they intended to kill and throw him in
; to the swamp for the buzzards to eat,
and told him to prepare to die. They
beat and punched him with tlieir mus-
I kets.and finally fired a volley at him.—
I The balls whistled close past him but he
was not struck. They then tohl him to
I run for his life, and as he run.they fired
| another volley at him. He went about
a hundred and fiftyyasds from his house
: and hid in a ditch.
WHAT THE NEGROES SAID.
; While lying in the ditch Mr. Baxley
i heard several parties of the negroes, who
came close to his hiding place, declare
: that they would kill Mr. Middleton and
; George Baxley, and that no white man
| should ever live on the Ogeeche nock a-
I gain; that they were fully armed and or-'
! ganized and would hold their position, j
TIIE WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN THEIR HANDS. j
I All the white men having been driven ■
: away Winn’s wife and two children star
j ted over to Baxley’s. Hero they met Mr j
!R. Baxley’s wife and their children.— j
j Ttioy then started to go to t’c negro j

quarters, to beg tHo negro women to
take them in and protect them. As they
were crossing the yard a crowd of the
negroes came up ami stopped them. In
Ia few minutes they started up the river,
| driving the defenceless women and chil
dren ahead of them. Mr. Winn from his
■ place of concealment witnessed this
transaction but was powerless to pre
vent it. What has become of those poor
people is not known; nothing but out
rage, perhaps murder, could be expected
from those wlio thus dragged them off.
. , TIIE nOUSKS PLUNDERED.
The negroes next'tiiriiuJ their inten
tion to Barley’s house. The provisions,
and such tilings as pleased them they,
carried off. Mr. Winn saw them taking’
out goods, and heard them smashing the
crockery and furniture, all the time
whooping, yelling and sevoaming like
devils let. loose upon earth They made
Mr. Middleton’s house their headquar
ters, and occupied it all during, the night
| The provisions and some other things
which suited their fancy, they carried
| off.
SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN Ktl-LEI)!
The negroes also attacked James
Domicil, a white watchman. Winn saw
them them strike him w ill the butt
of a musket, and afterwards heard shots
I fired aud hoard them yelling. Nothing
| has since been seen or heard of Donnell,
| and it is feared that he has been tmir
| deedered. Fortune Brown is also sup
| posed to have been killed. George Bun
yan escaped by concealing himself in a
large lan, at the mill, until dark, when
lie left tiie premises. The negroes are
very bitter against the two last named.
ESCAPE OF WINN AND BAXLEY.
Shortly after dark all became quiet,
and Winn ventured from his place of
concealment. The negroes had left that
immediate vicinity, and nothing could be
seen or heard of them. Mr. Baxley’s
dog which they had shot was howling
piteously with pain and the plantation
dogs, finding nobody at the houses were
running around barking and hunting j
their masters. Winn proceeded cau
tiously forth and was hailed by Baxley |
who had just crawled up out of the !
ditch. Wounded, faint and bleeding, j
they bound np their wounds the best j
they could, and traveled through the
woods all night, reached town early this J
morning. ’Their injuries were attended
to and the two min then taken before
the authorities to make their statements.
THE ROADS PICKETED.
This morning Mr. Waller, residing be
low Middletou’s place attempted to come
■to the city wilh his family, fearing liir
tber trouble. lie found a heavy force at
No 1. with pickets out and all approach
es guarded. lie was compelled to go to
No 1 i, to take the train for Savannah.
Another gentleman who attempted to
come in by the Ogeccheo road was stop
pad questioned, and found great difficul
ty in making his Way to the city.
THE INTENTION OF TIIE NEGROES.
The declared object of the negroes, in
these outrages, is to make it impossible
for white men to live in that *hec
tion, and then take possession of the j
plantations themselves. ‘They now have
matters in their own hands. They have I
seized upon the houses, and hold under 1
their control the rice mi ls and several j
thousand bushels of rice which will prob j
ably all be Stolen ore they can bo ejee-'
ted.
WHERE THEIR ARSIS CAM" FROjf.
Parties in this city keep the negroes
supplied with new muskets and bayo
nets, for which they receive an equiva
lent in rice. This matter should be look
ed into by the authorities and tiie mis
creants guilty ofsuoh conduct, brought
to justice, and a rope's end.
To the True Hearted People of Geor
gia-
Again wc Como before yon to plead
the cause of onr unbnried dead. As
yon may know the Legislature of 1806
' made a small appropriation, and appoin
| ted ns trustees of the fund, to bury the
j dead of Oliickarnauga, and along the
line of Sherman’s march to Atlanta, and
to gather in a common resting place the
I remains ol those who were not under the
j protecting care of local memorial asso j
i ciations. For this purpose the citizens |
jof Marietta gave us a beautiful site irn- j
mediately on .the railroad, into which our I
limited means wo have removed overj
twelve hundred bodies. Hundreds still |
remain nncarred for in the neglected ,
corners and roadsides and the battlefields j
where they fell to bo trampled by the j
beast of the field, or turned over bv the j
plowshare. Another small appropriation j
was made by the Legislature —too small
however, to continue with any hope of
success so great an undertaking.
The general government has spent
millions on the Federal cemeteries of
Marietta and Andersonvillo. The Imm
blcst colored soMicr who died in the Fed
oral service, has a well guarded, beau
tiful and costly testing place, marked j
with slabs of purest marble; towering
monuments attest the gratitude of their.
Government, while our noble heroes arc
still left ip silence and neglect. Shall
j this disgraceful neglect, continue or can
!we get snch aid as will enable us, with
j the opening spring to place them all in
' concccrated ground ? May wo not
bog tboaid of every Georgian? Gan
[ they continue deaf to tho cry of tlieir un
j confiThcd dead ? Will not tlieir friends
j ami neighbors and comrades in the glo
rious cause for which they fell, see to it
that their bones no longer moulder, mi
earn'd for en the hill side ? Wo •ask
not for graded walks nor railings, nor
marble slabs nor Heaven pointing man
uments. We know that Georgians will
educate their sous to give all this in the
future but we do ask for them how an
untrodden grave; surely that is little
enough for tho mosfflowly; can it ho re
fused to those loved martyrs, who, for
our honor, our homqp, our flag, our all
that was dear to us, risked tlieir lives,
and fell where bravo men love to fall—
on tiie field of brittle. That onr cause
was lost was surely not tlieir fault, nor
has defeat lessoned our obligation to
them; then, in tho name of humanity and
in beluilf'of Georgia’s honor, wo appeal
to you as Georgians as Southern men
and neoplo of every community in this
State to remember these men (lied defen
diitgyour right to worship God aceor
'ding to the dictates of our own con
science, and we earnestly ask each pas
tor to act as onr agent ju his charge to
deceive and forward to us for It is work.
As another means to tho accomplish
ment of this object by dnr earnest solic
itations, a small party of tho ladies of
your State, whole-souled, country loving
women have consented, for the benefit of
this special work to give a series of con
certs in the principal cities ol the State,
and thereby aid to wipe out the record
of Georgia’s ingratitude, as it noviwstands
forth in her dishonored graves ; and in
tiie name of the mourning hearts of the
land, wo thank them.

Reported Discovery of a Huge Skele
ton. —The Sauk Rapids, Minn., Sentinel,
of December 18th, says that on the (lay
previous, while the quarry men employed
by the Sauk Rapids Wafer l’owor Com
pany were engaged in quarrying rock
j for the dam which is being erected
j across the Mississippi at this place, found
buried in the solid granite rock the ro-
I mains of a human being of gigantic stat
j nre. About seven foot bolow the snr
! face of the ground, and about three feet
and a half beneath the upper stratum of
j rock, tho remains were found imbedded
in the sand, which had evidently been
placed in the quadrangular grave which
had boon dug out of the solid rock to re
ceive the remains ol’ this antediluvian
giant. The grave was twelve feet in
length, four feet wide, arid about three
feet in depth, and is at least two feet
bolow the present surface of tho river.
The remains are completely petrified, and
are of gigantic dimensions. The head
is massive, measures thirty-one ami one
half inches in circumferance, but low in
tho os frontis, and very flat on top. The
lemur measures twenty six inches, and
tho fibula twenty five and a half, while
tlic body is equally long in proportion.
From the crown of the head to the solo
of the foot the length is ten feet nine and
a half inches.
The giant must have weighed at least
!)00 pounds when covered with a reason
able amount of flesh. The petrified re
mains—and there is nothing left but tlic j
naked bones—now weigh HOI pounds.:
The thumb and fingers of the left hand, i
and the left foot from the- ankle to the
toes avo.gone, but all the other ]xirts are I
perfect. Over the sepulchre of the un
known dead was placed a large fiat'
limestone rock, that remained perfectly
separated from the surrounding granite
reck.
Luck. —l don’t have any good luck.
Fudge! what do you expect, you mere
grumbler? Is the world to turn from its.!
way and buisincss to sweeten you up,
pus you ou your pins, and then return to
its ownjaffairs? Not if it knows itself, and
the popular prejudice is that it has some
acquaintance in that lino If you expect
“luck,” as it is termed, without working
like a good fellow for it, yon will simply
bo disapointed. And you ought to be.
I t would be nothing else but a swindle.
Luck is a product, not a chance. It is
born of toil; does riot fall ready at hand.
It comes to those who work aud win,
and not to those who lazily wait. There
| is nothing more foolish than for young
; men to believe in luck. It is a faith wilh
oat foundation, and sadly ruinous in its
j consequences.
| Raising the Wind. — During a former
“heated term” in Boston, a gentleman f
calling'to make some purchases at .a;
hardware store, found a tableau vivaat, \
which more expressively represented tlic j
state of the mercury than could any ;
words. At the end of the store there
were three pairs of large blacksmith’s
bellows, which, when opened, will slow- j
ly collapse by their own wpight. Three |
clerks had posted themselves before these i
bellows, and each, with a bellows’ nose
stuck up the leg of his trowsers, was al
lowing tho breeze from the enormous wind
machine to gently blow np his leg, the
while he was engaged in dipping iron* a
common bowl of iced lager. Tiie cus
tomer.thanght it was too bad to disturb
so ingenious an arrangement for “raising
the wind,” and left tiie young philoso
phers undisturbed, with their jEolian j
attachments.
lie who desires to win in the race of
life—to be prosperous, happy and con-.
tented—must pull off his coat and bat-!
tie manfully with labor.
