THEY DECLARE THAT THEY HAVE COMMENCED WAR. NO WHITE MAN TO BE PERMITTED TO LIVE ON THE OGKECHEE. 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 HERE SHALE THE PRESS TIE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BV TEAR ANI) UNBRIBED BY GAIN.

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. ! ilrmi B>isl riliiitioss! 15 V Til 1-3 METROPOLITAN GIFT COMPLY.
