ApprelianKions < >f n serious rollis ion, awaki-ned liy recent unfortnnnte oecnrroneos at this place, were wide spread and lively. Our own citizens participated somewhat in this feeling -—not however, perhaps to as great an extent as it. prevailed among those who are at a distance,and who do not know well the eminently law abiding character of our people, The sad la bors of yesterday seem to have per vaded with solemnity the minds of our entire people. While there was, mi the part of the whites the most settled determination perhaps ever felt, not to give way one inch at the polls, there was also a determination to do nothing to arouse the ill-feeling of the other race. It may be said to the credit of the negroes; too, that there seemed upon their part, an earnest determination to keep (piict, contenting themselves with the exer cise of their right, to vote without any of those impertinent and offensive dis plays, which they have sometimes j made while exercising this right. Whether it was the fear of meet ing a more bitter and fearful resell!-; ment than any heretofore encountered by them, ora participation in the in tense regret felt by so many in con sequence of the calamitous occurrence of the last election, or a conscious ness of the defeat that awaited them, j or merely a cordial and sincere de sire to aid in the maintenance of law | and good order, we need not care. We give them credit for what they did -we commend them for coming to ; the polls, depositing their votes, and returning, as many of them did, to! their homes. There was no effort on j the part of the bad ones to deter those of them that were disposed to vote tin Dsn critic ticket, and in' c tuseqaeacr, there was an increase in j tile number who did so. There was the 'a >st absolute quiet that perhaps ever prevailed at an election at this or | any other place. We send greetings to our sister; counties of the 2nd Congressional District, and gladly inform the a that the pledge given t> our eloquent speaker, dol'd in, a f iw days ago, lias be * a to-day faithfully redeemed. Brooks has again, as so often hereto fore, expressed her ■ u U i led support of good government, and her disap probation of dishonest and Radical corrupt ion.

Scarcely had our citizens gotten to their homes from the burial of Hon. J. H. Hunter before the sad announce ment is made of the death of Mr. D. U. McNeil, one of the first settlers of this town, and one who has always, until the infirmities of accumulated years until ted him for it, been honor ed bv his fellow citizens with positions of trust and usefulness. He was elect ed throe different times to the office of sheriff, and twice to the office of Treasurer in the county, these repeat ed favors showing the esteem and confidence in which he was held. His illness was only of short duration,and lie died comparatively without suffer ing,on Tuesday morning at about five o’clock. He was a zealous member of the Methodist Church, aud contribu ted largelv, by his labors, to its growth in our community. The fam ily may he assured of the warm sym pathy of the community. Not lee.

Ills Itnrinl—-The Largest Funeral Pro cession Ever Seen In Oar Community. The death of Hon. *T. H. Hunter has cast a shade of gloom over the heart of every true lover of his coun try that inhabits this county, and of tin* many, many friends of the de ceased throughout the State. This calamity took place ou last Saturday night between nine and ten o’clock, resulting, as was established beyond doubt, by pusl marl,mi examination, from the wound indicted on him at the October election. It. is a source of comfort to know that his filial end was calm and apparently painless; and still more comforting that, with the conciousness of his end at. hand, and in the full view of the teachings of our holy religion, he expressed him self content to go. The county and this entire portion of the State, though much bereaved within tlio last three y< ars, by the death of an unusually large pro portion of its most highly esteemed and efficient men, lifts not sutterred more heavily at any time than in this instance. A wider circle of personal friends no man among us had. A more warm hearted man, a more faithful and devoted public servant, a more useful citizen, or a more Jdili geut and popular lawyer, we ha ve not left among us. His physician had never been very hopeful for him from the time he re ceived his wound, but many of his friends, not being alile to judge hv any hut external indications, continued to cherish the hope that he might recover—this hope being encouraged - by the earnest desire they felt for its accomplishment. O.i Monday his remains were in terred by the Masons, Hon. A. 11. Hansell officiating, by request, ns Master of the Lodge. The largest concourse of citizens of flic commu nity and county, that ever gathered for .‘.ueh a purpose, among whom were a number of our’colored citizens,' participated by their presence with [ his brother Masons in the solemnity of that occasion. The fraternity met; at their lodge, marched to the house j of A!r. -1. M. Witt, where the remains were lying ((‘apt.. Hunter was too severely wounded to be carried out of j town'to his own home, and tlie house : of the above named citizen had been generously opened to him), carried the remains to the Baptist church, of; which he was a member, where funer al services were performed by the. pastor, after w hich lie was carried to , the cemetery and buried amid the: profonndest respect and sadness. The early advantages of Capt. Hunter were not of the first order, hut his nal.vj la'cut and persistent diligence, combined as these were; with great integrity and probity, had' secured for him a high and honorable position among Lis fellows. He lmd servedliiscounty a number of times; in the Legislature; he served his on- j tire country, with unflagging patriot ism, during the struggle for indepen dence which was made by (lie South a few years ago. If there was any thing in which his zeal surpassed his judgment, it was perhaps in liis at-, taehiuent for his o\vn peculiar section of this broad,- fair land. It is not possible to close this no tice without saying something about , the circumstances which immediately led to his death, although they have been heretofore discussed in the col umns of this paper. By the hands of 1 a man who lias never rendered his j country any service, except such ias could be rendered bv the use of ; his muscle, (no more important ser j vice than that of the beast) our land has been bereaved of one of its most estimable and useful patriots. It is not strange that under these circum stances, there sonld be intense indig nation felt by the country against the perpe'r i'i mof this deed. But that indignation is restrained by tlie high respect for law, which lias over mark ed the conduct of our citizens, and by the sad messages of the man himself after the reception of his fatal wound, sent out from his room of suffering from time to time to his fellow cit zens. As was stated from the pulpit, by Mr. Campbell, the Captain, know ing what indignation would be felt, and what suggestions of vengeance might arise, said time and again, “Tell the boys, for me, not to [do anything rash; be calm; let the law take its course; get them to remember that the Scriptures say, ‘Vengeance is mine; I will recompense, saitli the Lord.’ ” Sam Griffin is, we think, about ready to follow the example of “Uncle Josh,” and renounce the devil and the Radical party forever. He told us last night that he was “done with politics.” “"Whilst the lamp holds out to burn, the vilest sinner may re turn,” Samuel. :o IIAIE for sale cheap, by i p. j. g. jr. snow. NICK THOMPSON. The Murderer of (’apt. J. 11. Hunter Interviewed in Ills Prison Dungeon. On Tuesday afternoon wo visited the county jail for the purpose of in terviewing Nick Thompson, (lie negro ! arrested ott the day of our October election for stabbing Capt. J. H. Hun ter, and who now stands charged with murder. Upon being admitted to the cell l where the prisoner was incareoriited we at once explained our object in seeking an interview, and soon suc ceeded in gaining his confidence mid drawing him out into a free conver sation. Finding him very willing | to talk of the tragedy in which he figured so prominently, we interroga ted him directly, and as lie answered onr questions without hesitation, we give the c iiivors; ton as it occurred in as nearly the same words as possi ble: Reporter—“ Well, Nick, what is your ago, where were you raised, and to whom did you belong before your ! emancipation?” Nick—“l am twenty-four years old, was raised in South Carolina, and be longed to a man by the name of John Bratton. I came to this country about eight years ago.’ Reporter- “Where have you been 1 v ng this year?” Nick-“With Mr. J. M. Harris.'’ Reporter—“’Were you expecting any trouble here oil die day of elec tion between the whites and blacks? ’ Nick “No, sir; I had no idea of getting into trouble of any kind." Reporter "But don't you think that some of the colored people ex pected and came to town prepared for a difficulty ?” Nick “Some of them might, but I didn’t.” Reporter Were you acquaitcd with Capt. Hunter?” Nick—“No, sir; I had heard a good deal of talk about him before, but never knew that lie was the man un til we had the difficulty.” Reporter “Had you not always heard Capt. Hunter spoken of as a very polite and peaceable gentle man ?” Nick - “Well (hesitatingly) yes, j sir.” Reporter -“Well, why did you fol -1 low him up and use the insulting lan i gunge which you are reported to have used whilst he was carrying that old colored man to tlie polls to vote?” Nick—“l did not follow him up, neither did 1 speak to him.” Reporter—Why did yon get Into a ; difficulty with him then ?” Nick—“Ho struck me with a stick.” Reporter—“ What aggravated him to strike you with liis stick?’ Nick—“ Don’t know, sir.” Reporter—“lt is reported that you ' gave him the damned lie; is there any truth in this report ? Nick—“No, sir; I only said that I ; had been a friend to old man r for a long time, and I did not think In' would vote a Democratic* ticket; then Capt. Hunter struck me.” Reporter— “But. Nick, there are re liable men who will swear that you did call him a damn liar. It seems by this that some words must have passed between you before Capt. Hunter struck you." Nick- No, sir; I did not have any words with him at ail. Reporter “How many times/lid ho strike you before you stabbed him?” Nick—-“I don’t, recollect, for the first lick almost knocked my senses out of me.” Reporter “Did Ben Jordan strike Capt. Hunter before or after y u ■ u him ?” Nick—“l don’t know, did not see him strike him at all.” Reporter—“ Did you not sec any one strike him?” Nick—“No, sir.” Reporter —“What made him fall so suddenly, then; do you suppose it was the blow you gave him with the knife ?”. Nick- “I don't know. When I cut at him he was beating me over the head with his stick as fast as lie ; could, and I could not sec what, nu ule him fall.” Reporter—“ Well, I suppose you j know that ('apt. Hunter is dead, and | that after a jio.d mortem examination : his physicians swear that to the best |of tlieir knowledge and belief liis death was produced by the cut in flicted by you. Do you not know that you now stand charged with ! murder, and that you will have to be tried for your life ?” Here a clouded look of despair seemed to come over the prisoner, and he held down his head, liis eyes filled with tears, and for the first time his whole frame trembled with emotion He finally recovered himself suffi ciently to answer that he did not in tend to kill Capt. Hunter, and that when he cut him he was only acting in self defence. Reporter—“ Why, then; did you use your knife; did you not know that ! your ussailiu.t was a small man of little physical strength, and Jhyt you could prevent his hurting you by taking hold of him with your hands?" Njick—“l was so much excited that I did not think about what I was do ing.” Reporter ‘ Did not some of vour color tell you to go ahead, that they would see you out?” Nick “No, sir; they just got around me after they,took ('apt. Hun ter off, and tried to keep the white people off of me.” Reporter did any white man offer any violence to you?” Nick—“ Yes, sir; Mr. Creech come up and boat me over the head with his stick, until I took it away from him.” Reporter “Did not Mr. Thrasher, the Sheriff, protect you after lie ar rested you, and order every man that approached to stand back ?” Nick “Yes, sir.” Reporter -"Well, Nick, do you feel that yon were justifiable in what yon done; or, in other words, do you think you did right ?” “Nick -No, sir; I think we both done wrong.”. Reporter “ Well, do you not feel that you have taken the life of a fel low man without sufficient provoca tion, and does not your own ron s-ieneo condemn you for the rash act ?’’ Nick—“ Yes, sir, I know that I done wrong, and if it was to do over again 1 should act very .ifcr.yMitlv. I am mighty sorry that Capt. Hunter didn't get well.” Reporter- "Well, Nick, the proba bilities are that your trial will not come off at the term of Court now in session, lint I understand that a spe cial session will be held some time in the early part of next month, proba bly, at which vour ease w ill be tried. Do you not feel anxious about it ?” Nick “Yes, sir; I wish they would try me right away; I want to know what they are going to do with me.” Reporter- “Have you advised with, or employed any lawyer?” Nick—No, sir.” Here the prisoner began to ques tion us as to what wo thought of his chances to get justice under the law, Are., and asked what we should do were we in his situation. He had been talking very freely with us, and ; evidently expected or hoped for some word of cheer or sympathy from us. , He seemed to be totally ignorant of the course his ease would naturally take by a due process of law, and ap peared gratified when we told him that l.e would Li*=se a fair aud impar tial trial, and that he would have the right to introduce witnesses for his defense before a jury sworn to render a verdict according to the facts devel oped in the ease in conformity with the law. He said he did not rest well and that his anxiety to know his fate . rendered him miserable. He seemed desirous of talking lon ger, but as we found bis continued conversation to be simply a reiteration ■ of wlmt we had already heard, we. quietly withdrew. Working tip the Negroes. The following document in circular form was distributed freely among the negroes on Sunday, the Ist inst., as a last resort to bring them to the polls on election day. Although it bears the appearance of having been issued by the “Republican Executive Com mittee,” the document is certainly one of Whiteley’s own get-up. We un derstand that it was circulated very i extensively at the colored camp meet ing near Quitman on Sunday last; i and we give it to oiu; readers without comment, as every intelligent man in 1 this country, if left t/draw his own ! conclusion, will at once decide that !it is simply another “mule and forty ! acres of land” hoax. Here it is: The press of Georgia has exten sively copied and approved the arti cles from the Louisiana Democratic papers, advising planters and others Ito band together for the purpose of I preventing Republicans who vote the ticket of their choice, from obtaining employment, it therefore becomes the duty of every Republican Club of Georgia, especially" the colored Re publican, to take immediate steps to form a State Association to act in I connection with an agency already ' established, composed of leading men, ' with a view to removing the Repub lican voters from unfriendly coun ties, towns and precincts, where they cannot peaceably enjoy the rights guaranteed them by the Constitution |of the United States. Let every club ! at once select one or two active mem bers, whose duty it shall he to obtain i a list, of planters and others who at j tempt to control the votes of their i employees. Guilty parties should be i arrested and tried for any violation ■ of law, and in addition, let them learn | that your labor is to them a necessity, and that you will seek employment where you can peaceably exercise your rights. Your friends in Georgia and i elsewhere will aid you in leaving ev ery section where you cannot vote as you choose. There are sections in Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Miss issippi where labor is in great de mand, and where you can remove to at any moment, your expenses paid. The great "Western States, Kansas and others, are open to you for set tlement, under the wise policy of the j government., and all that is required on your part iH manly concert of ac tion. An agency lias been establish ed ill Atlanta for tlio purpose of ad vising and aiding all who wish to re move from iiifrieiidli/ luculilii's tooth ers within the State more tolerant and less vindictive. This agency lifts al ready recorded upon its books lands ifo rent and sale in ninny States, os ti'ill u.< in Omri/in, healthily located, and where labor is in dt iliaisl. As ; the movement Ims already been iu j augurated to coerce you to vote j against your principles or to deny you the right altogether, prompt ac tion on your part is necessary; re ! solve now to work for no man who denies your right to vote. Leave unfriendly neighborhoods, and like men, resolve to do right and demand right. Organize your clubs and it you cannot obtain justice go out from the land and trusting to the guidance of him who said: “The poor ve have always with von.” Seek homes where justice is done, where men can be found who love law, order ami jus tice. Let every Republican go to the polls oil the third of November, and cast liis ballot for the nominees of liis party, and after the election take im mediate steps, through the presidents of your clubs to leave, not only un ; friendly counties, towns and precincts, lint unfriendly planters and others j who want your labor but w ill not see justice done you at the ballot box. By order of the Chairman lira a m.iiAN Kxkcitivk Committkk. There was a Radical vagabond in Quitman on Wednesday who was j not very favorably impressed with the town. The white people would not notice him, and he got drunk, and then the negroes would not have any thingffo do with him. We . think he must have “laid out” all liiligt, as we ; learn he remarked before taking his departure that “this was the d—est ’ town he ever struck—a Radical ! couldn’t even get a bed.” SPECIAL NOTICES [Vy/< cinl notices inserted in this column (it I licetrc ami n half emits per line for jirsf in \ section find ten cents per line for each sitbse- j 8 ’ rs( ;i ii i*t ill.

While there is no actual necessity for the presence of ticket-holders, as under our arrangements the interests of all are equally cured for, yet at the same time l would greatly prefer that : as many of those interested as can, would at tend this meeting and see each for hituself ■ how perfectly fair and impartial tin* distribu tion must be.
