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, )

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.

The Military Trial—Eighth Day.
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.
