SAVANNAH DAILY REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 14. 1865. MV* SAVANNAH: Thursday HORNING, SEPT’B 14. MYSTERIOUS TRAGEOY, Two Men Shot A police officer informed us at two o’clock this morniug, that two colored men in the vicinity of East Broad street were shot by a party of cavalrymen, about 12 o’clock last night. One of the victims was conveyed in a wagon to liis residence iu Broughton street, in a dyiug condition, the bullet passing through his body, inflicting a fearful wound just below the left lung. The j other man was shot through the head, and was reported in an insensible condi tion and not expected to survive till day light. Our informant states that the ne groes were standing quietly at the corner of a street in the dark when the shots were fired into them without the slight est warning or provocation. We were unable to obtain the names of the unfortunate men, or to gather any further particulars of the bloody affair, and we give the above statement as it was narrated to us. We shall give fuU details of the horrible murder in to-mor row morning’s edition of the Republican, when we hope to lay before our readers a reliable account of this most mysterious and tragic affair. The Shooting Affair on Broughton Street. In yesterday morning’s Republican we published in our local column an account of the shooting of Private William H. Pettit, of Co. A, 173d N. Y. Vols., in which great injustice was inadvertently done a gallant man and true soldier, through incorrect information ^jxmisliecl one of our reporters by parties who pro fessed to know all about the affair. We regret that our columns should uninten tionally become the medium of casting temporary odium upon a brave and up right soldier, as Private Pettit is repre sented to us by the officers of his regi ment, all of whom are loud in attestation of his excellent behavior at all times, in battle as well as in camp. Our reporter’s statement that Private Pettit was shot while in the act of at tempting to grab the watch of Mr. J. Neason, the party arrested for shooting Pettit, is pronounced false by several - persons who witnessed the rencontre, and who were afterwards arrested as wit nesses, and identified Neason as the man who discharged the revolver. We were waited upon yesterday by Captains Bar- wick and W. A- Greene, of the 173d N. Y. Yols., who politely requested us, in behalf of the wounded man as well as for the reputation of the regiment, to cor rect the misstatement in order to prevent any erroneous impression being given in relation to the sad affair, and we cheer fully make the amende honorable for the error we made. The whole matter will be thoroughly 7 and speedily investigated by the milita • ry authorities, and it is quite probable that, in view of the absence of civil law, the importance of the case will warrant the convening of a special Court Martial to try the accused. Until all the evi dence is adduced and the trial con eluded we refrain from making any further comments. A Gross Act of Vandalism. We were informed yesterday afternoon by Josiah Tattnall, Esq., of this city, that the elegant little temple of Divine worship, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, which was erected during the war from a munificent legacy bestowed for the building of a Free Church for the poor and needy, was entered by ‘a pack of ruthless vandals, supposed to be soldiers of the 26th Mass., and wantonly desecra ted. Fired with a just indignation and almost incredulous at the report that there were men base enough to commit such diabolical outrages as these men were charged with, we determined to ac company Mr. Tattnall and ascertain if it were true that the spirit of the devil had prompted men to defile the house of prayer. Upon entering the sacred edifice, a gloomy picture was revealed, such a one as we dislike to paint in words. To those of our readers who have never vis ited the church, which is of brick, with Freestone caps and coping, built in the shape of a Greek Cross, we would state that it was' built and partly finished by donations fromliberal Christians, thewhole structure being of the pure English Gothic tftyle of architecture, and was considered in every respect one of the finest chapels in Georgia. The Gothic stained glass windows have all been broken since the advent of Gen. Sherman’s army into the city, but the crowning act of damnable vandalism was committed on Monday last by some par ties at present unknown. Stepping into the church, the eye is pained to behold the cruel evidences of sacreligious hands on every surrounding object. The interior, which is finished in oak and walnut, is of that solid antique Gothic style so prevalent in England, and which is rapidly coming into vogue on this side of the water, particularly k in the erection of Episcopal Churches. The deserted church echoed with the fall of our footsteps on the soiled and dusty floor, like some dark and dreary tomb tread by grief stricken mourners, and with the deathlike stillness that pre vailed as we sadly viewed the hellish work of vandalism, the gloomy silence broken only by the twitter of birds that flitted past the broken windows, it was a solemn, and to us, a very mourn ful picture. Turning we cast a glance into the chancel adorned with its magnificent stained glass window, which was presented to the church as a thank offering to Almighty God by a most es timable, generous and Christian lady, Mrs. John T. Pryse, wife of Rev. John T. Pryse, as a mark of her gratitude to God for the almost miraculous recovery of her' beloved husband after a long and serious illness. The scoundrels were base enough to remove three of the finest medallions from this window, represent ing epochs in scriptural history.* The whole window, which is really a superb work of art, costing at least several hundred dollars, is elaborately decorated with ecclesiastical devices, blended in the most chaste and artistic manner, and as regards harmony of sym metry and colors, it could hardly be sur passed. This window, then, which was treasured by [the worshippers at the church far beyond its intrinsic value as a sacred momento, is utterly ruined, as it will probably be impossible to replace the stolen medallions. Not content with this gross piece of vandalism, the miscreants destroyed a new and very expensive organ which was iu the gallery. The vandals cut the ivory coverings from each note, aud also strip ped ev;ery “Stop” of the handsome pieces of pearl with which they were in laid ; the bellows is broken, and the works of the instrument entirely destroy ed ; even the gilded metal pipes and tubes were not spared from the hands of the shameless ruffians, but were dented in many places, as if affording a fiendish delight. The instrument is internally a complete wreck, and it is doubtful if it will be worth the expense of repairing, which, if done at all, will have to be exe cuted North. The settees have nearly all of them been destroyed, either for fire wood or to make bunks in camp, while the little piece of carpeting that covered the floor of the chancel 1ms been torn up and removed. Now a word or two about this most provoking and disgraceful outrage, which we consider a foul blot upon the es cutcheon of humanity. The elegant chancel window, and the organ, (which was a new one, with all the modern im provements, ) were both unharmed six or eight hours prior to the departure of the 26th Massachusetts Regiment, by whom the church had been used fora short time as a hospital. After their departure the mischief was discovered, but too late, we regret to state, to admit of immediate investigation or search for the culprits. Of course we do not feel authorized to charge this heinous crime upon the 26th Mass. Eegt, but the circumstances certain ly warrant a suspicion that some worthless vagabonds connected with it committed the atrocious act, while their officers were busily engaged in preparing to break up camp prior to their embarking on board the steamer. In order that no unjust censure or odium may be re flected upon the gentlemanly officers of this regiment, it is proper that we should state that while the chapel was used as a hospital for the regiment, not a wanton act was committed, and after the breaking up of the hospi tal, Colonel Chapman, in order to guard against any desecration of the structure, had a guard, stationed around it, and it was evidently after the with drawal of the sentinel that the wretches, who must have premeditated the crime and watched a favorable opportunityfor its execution. committed the outrage. These are the real facts of the case, so far as we could learn them after a through person al examination. It strikes us that if the scoundrels who have thus desecrated and destroyed this once beautiful temple of Divine worship can be traced as belonging to the 26th Massachusetts Reg’t, Governmeut should take measures to levy upon the Regiment for a sufficient sum to pay for all the damages. This will be nothing more than an act of simple justice, for the same thing lias been done by railroad companies and others in cases where dis orderly soldiers have injured their prop erty, and in this case the appeal is twice as strong. Here is a house of prayer, a building consecrated to the service of Almighty God, and dedicated expressly for the use of the poor. We have no doubt that if proper steps are taken to represent the matter to Gen. Brannan he will spare no pains to secure proper redress for the unheard-of outrage. W e cannot remember an event that has given us more keen pain to record than this unjustifiable deed, but we felt it our imperative duty to denounce it in unmeasured terms, even though we incurred the risk of the displeasure of our many friends in that noble regiment, over whose brilliant and unsullied record hangs this dark suspicion, which we hope will prove unfounded upon investigation. We have been asked to refrain from pub lishing so disgraceful an affair, but a sense of duty compelled us re luctantly to decline. We can only say that the man who would be guilty of perpetrating or even upholding such an unpardonable and indefensible act de serves to be branded with the seal of public infamy. • From Augusta.—The steamer Gen. Berry, Capt. Henry, from Augusta, arrived yesterday forenoon. We are indebted to Purser R. H. Lewis for late Augusta papers. The Gen. Berry brings nothing new from op the river. Sale of Government Property.—We would call attention tojthe advertisement of Messrs. York, Williams, Mylntire & Co.’s sale of government property, consisting of horses, mules, wagons, harness, &c., which is now ta king place at the government stables on Rey nolds street. This is a fine opportunity for purchasers to obtain fine animals, &c., at a reasonable price. Some fine six mule teams, wagons and harness will be offered. The sale will be continued from day to day until the whole lot is disposed of, and those in want of such property will do well to attend, as a lot of serviceable animals are yet to be sold. An Important Order. We are indebted to the polite attention of a friend for the following important order, which is published for general information : Headquarters Dep’t of Mississippi, ) Vicksburg, Miss., Aug. 15, 18G5.» } GENERAL ORDERS) No. 18. / The following endorsement on a communi cation, regarding jurisdiction of Military Courts in certain cases, which was addressed to the Assistant Judge Advocate General, and by him referred to the Judge Advocate General of the Army, is published for the in formation of all concerned : WAR DEPARTMENT, j BUREAU of military justice, July 25th, 1805. ) Respectfully returned to Col. W. M. Dunn, Assistant Judge Advocate General. The trials by Military Commission of the within named citizens of Mississippi, (Cooper, Downing and Saunders.) charged with capital, and other gross assaults upon colored soldiers of our Army, (and in one instance of similar treatment of a colored female,) should be at once proceeded with ; and all like cases of crime in that locality should be promptly and vigorously prosecuted. That the President has alccorded a provisional government to the State of Mississippi, is a fact which should not be aiowed to abridge or injuriously affect the jurisdiction heretofore properly assumed by military courts in that region during the war. And especially is the continued exercise of that jurisdiction called for, in cases—1st, of wrong or injury done by citizena to soldiers, (wheth er white or black ;)—and, 2d, of assault or abuse of colored citizens generally ; where, indeed, the local tribunal are either unwilling (by reason ef inherent prejudice, ) or incapable, (by reason of the defective machinery, or be cause of some State law declaring colored persons incompetent as witnesses,) to do full justice, or properly punish the of fenders. 'l’he State of Mississippi, in common with other insurgent States, is still in the occupation of our forces, aud—embraced as it is in a mi itary department—is still t > a very considerable ex tent under the control of the military authorities. Moreover, the rebellion, though physically crush ed, has not been officially announced or treated, either directly or indirectly, as a thing oi the past; the suspension of the luxlrnu mrjjiie has no: been terminated, nor has mthtary law ceased to be enforced, in proper cases, through the agency of military courts and military commanders in all parts of the country. It is to be added that the charges against the within named parties have been examined and found to be generally substantially correct in form. A few changes only in the allegations have been noied as proper to be made belore these charges are served upon the accused. (Signed) A. A.

The usual preliminary proceedings of the court having been disposed of yesterday, Geo. W. Thompson and Geo. Snowden, two wit nesses for the government, were severally ex amined, when the Judge Advocate stated that the prosecution now closed. Cbas. J. Atwell was then called to the stand on the part of the defence, and his testimony taken. The interrogatories of the defendant’s coun sel were propounded in writing, through the j Judge Advocate. This was the only witness i examined yesterday. ! A number of witnesses for the defence are to be brought forward, and it is probable the trial will last several days yet. There was a larger attendance yesterday than during several of the previous days. There was no perceptible abatement iu the heat. The defence expressed their readiness to in troduce further witnesses, but the hour of 2 o’clock having nearly arrived, the court ad journed to Monday morning at 1) o’clock. Augusta Chronicle <S' Sentinel, lot ft. Governor Johnson.—The Governor returned to Atlanta, from his visit to Dalton, on business connected with the State Road and other matters of interest to the people of Cherokee Georgia, on Thursday afternoon last.
