We observe 4n the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel of Saturday an editorial of two col- amns in which the writer expresses his chagrin, regret, and disappointment over the late press excursion. We axe very sorry that the General did not enjoy himself, and should have seen or inspected any thing,amiss on that excursion; but we propose to confine remark to such por tions of the article as are personal to the senior editor of the TruxiBArH, and involve him, to a greater or less extent, as a cause of the editor’s disappointments, and of the alleged misdirec tion of the expedition. The Chronicle says: We saw nothing of Bullock ourselves until the train reached Cartereville, where he and the editor of the Macon Telegraph made short re sponses to Maj. Cooper’s reception speech. We did not hoar these speeches, but learn that they were of the mutual admiration order, and that at their close personal courtesies were ex changed over ft bottle of wine. / ... And again: Upon assembling for dinner in the dining room of tho Choice House [in Rome], and after gentlemen had commenced to discuss their food, Mayor Hargrove arose and made a short speech, in which he was highly and pointedly eulogistic of “our Governor,” and wound up by. a sentiment complimentary to him. This called the Beast to bis feet, who, in a few dis jointed sentences, whined his thanks, and then, in the most patronizing manner possible, called upon CoL Clisby, as the President of the State Associated Press, to respond for that body. Of course we knew that, after the adjourn ment of the Convention in Atlanta, to meet on the 16 th of November at Macon, CoL Clisby had no more right to speak for, or, in any manner commit, the Press than any other individual member of the Association. Indeed we knew that the organization of that Association is so far only temporary. Yet, being called out as he was, as the President of the Press Associa tion, whatever he might say would be rendered, to somo extent, as the sentiments of the mem bers of tho Press then present. Much to our mortification and regret, the speech of Col. Clisby oven excelled the Mayor in fulsome compliments to Bullock and his ad ministration. Among other things he said that be “believed that all that Governor Bnllock had done as Governor, and his main aims were to aid the people of the State, and foster and de velop their material interests." These, we be lieve, were his exact words, and we were inex pressibly shocked at their utterance. It is, perhaps, due to CoL Clisby to say that we have been informed by a gentleman of the Press, who soon after spoke to him on the subject, that the CoL declared that, as he was unaccus tomed to public speaking, he did not know what be was saying. This Rome demonstration satisfied us that we could no longer, even by our presence, give countenance to such proceedings, and we can didly informed CoL Hnlbert that, owing to tho political turn which had been given to the affair we should be compelled to retire from the party. He expressed deep regret at what had been said and done, and declared that it was without his consent or approval, and hoped we would con tinue with the party. 1. In regard to the affair at Cartereville, wo were so far from the speakers, on the outside of the crowd, that we heard little that was said, either by CoL Cooper or the Governor. When the latter concluded, there were very loud and incessant calls for the writer, and much against his inclination ho was forced to thread his way through the crowd and put in an appearance. He spoke less than five minutes—said not one word about Gov. Bnllock, either good, bad, or indifferent—and drank no wine with him or any body else. Ail onr time was occupied in examining the exceedingly interesting collection of mineral specimens which had been gathered 1 '*' lV “' aan. tlemen of Bartow county for the inspection of the pxesH, aim *» uua.nomg with fh» venerable CoL Cooper and others in reference to them. 2. In respect to matters at Rome. To the best of onr knowledge and belief, we used no snob language in reference to Governor Bnllock as is attributed to ns by the Chronicle & Senti nel. It istrue, an entirely inexperienced speak er, in an off-hand address upon such an occa sion, is not quite self-possessed, and his lan guage is not, therefore, as exact or as well cho sen as it should be. But as we never entertained that opinion of Governor Bullock, and have no recollection of complimenting him on that or any other occasion except for the interest dis played in the material development of Georgia, ly his sanction of that excursion and the courtesy displayed to the gentlcnien of the press, we are morally certain that the Chronicle is in error. We are certain that wo never gave, on that or any other occasion, the lightest endorsement of the political career of Governor Bullock, for we entertain very serious objections to it. And that the General must have misconceived ns, is also apparent from the fact that although a considerable number of the gentlemen of the press took the trouble to express their satisfac tion with onr remarks on that occasion, not one of them took any exception to those remarks, in our hearing, or so as to come to onr knowl edge. Whereas, if we had made the declaration attributed to ns by the Chronicle it would prob ably have provoked an immediate challenge, and most certainly disapprobation would have come to our ears. It was our honest aim not to introduce politics, but to avoid the slightest approach to them. We took the same view as the Chronicle does in reference to our individual right to speak for the press of Georgia, and so represented the point to numbers of the gentlemen of the press who came to ns to confer upon the subject.— We feel confident that we spoke at Rome by the generalde8ire of the press, but not so much on the soore of the complimentary position assigned ns in Atlanta, as on the score of ago and long connection of the press. The gentlemen of the press did not expect a good speech, but they were anxious that nothing should be said or left unsaid which would mar the harmony of the party, and compromit the press to any position their judgment did not approve. There were rumors flying ronnd the train in its course from Chattanooga, that at the public reception in Rome the Governor might be offensively ignored, or perhaps even worse. It was not the desire of the majority of the Press that the Governor of Georgia, in their hands, should be treated in any other way than with all the respect dne to bis official position. It is true, they differed from him strongly in politics, and they had generally denounced his official course with great freedom; bnt they were, never theless solioitons that he shoul d m ee t with nothing on this excursion inconsistent with what was due to the Governor of Georgia—especially as he bad, as it were, entrusted himself in the hands of his political opponents—for ef the whole press delegation present, not more than two or throe could be said to be his party friends. Con sequently the writer was very careful, from motives which the magnanimity of Georgians will appreciate, to make, what seemed to ns to be, a proper allusion to the presence of tho Gov ernor, and our own recollection, together with the reports we have seen, confine our compli ment to the Governor, solely to his connection with that excursion. And it is dne to truth to add, that no man, under the circumstances, could have conducted himself with more delicacy and propriety than | did Gov. Bullock. gentlemen and with each other were of the most plAjigant and harmonious, oharacter, and we were as much surprised to see any political or party bearing attributed to it as we should be to see any religions sectarian objects ascribed to it. There was quite as much of one as the other—and not a particle of either. This, we are sure, will be the verdict of four-fifths of the gentlemen of the press who went through with this excursion. Finally, the accidental prominence of the writer in this affair was none of his own seek ing, and if, by mistake or misjudgment, or in experience, he had done or said any thing justly offensive to the press, he would feel great per sonal mortification. Bnt from the fact that, at the final meeting and parting around the festive board in Atlanta, he was loudly and almost unanimously called upon to make the parting remarks, he is induced to hope that he did or said nothing to seriously impair the confidence and good opinion of the brotherhood of the press. On onr part, the intercourse was one of un alloyed pleasure. We have never associated with more urbane, frank and courteous gentle men, and the broad current of good fellowship and harmony flowed on from beginning to end without an apparent riffle on the surface. When all its results shall have been worked out, we devoutly trust that the Press Excursion to the mining regions of Georgia, will be found to have constituted an era in the material develop ment of this grand old Commonwealth. With these remarks we dismiss all that is personal to ourselves. Personal Government. One of the evil incidents of a personal gov ernment may be seen in the obvious uneasiness about the health of the Emperor Napoleon. See the telegram in this edition. Wo appre hend that however much the French people, or a portion of them, may delight in rhodomantade against the imperial government, there are few intelligent Frenchmen who do not dread the crisis which will arise on the death of Napo- lean. No man with less personal prestige, or less wise, sagacious, strong and resolute, could have kept down the elements of disorder and main tained for France twenty-one years of almost uninterrupted peace and prosperity, in which she has fairly outstripped every other nation of the earth in progress and accumulation. We have no donbt that France needed almost pre cisely such a government as Napoleon has given her. Bnt let him be removed by death, and faction and strife will soon be the order of the day. To meet tho Bevere ordeal to which bis dynasty will be subjected after his death, the Emperor has of late tried to inaugurate a constitutional and representative government, which may possibly serve when he is gone, as a break-water to the throne. A responsible Min istry and a responsible Parliament, which, in England, meet the shock of popular opprobium and carry appeals from the government to the arbitrament of popular elections, instead of to the barricades and revolts as in Paris, he is, doubt less, in somo hope, may save his dynasty, and preserve the Regency in the Queen and the suc cession, in due time, to the Prince Imperial. But will the French people fall in with this idea ? Even If they comprehend it, will they have the patience and the tolorance to abide by its practical workings? We doubt it. There are too many rank and violent partizans there— fierce Republicans and as fierce anti-Bonaparte ruyansis «n shades—to tolerate long a per sonally feeble government Hence tUo -world is alarmed and anxious when the health of Napo leon begins to fail. It remits the whole vast political and material capital of France to the chapter of accidents. And hero is the trouble with personal gov ernments. A wise, patriotic and conscientious absolutism is a good government, bnt it pnts everything on the peril of hnman life. Who will not feel tho greatest anxiety for ^France when Napoleon dies?

We congratulate onr citizens, and planting friends particularly, that we shall have estab lished in our city within a few days a business especially needed at this time, by our fellow- citizen, Mr. W. W. Parker, viz: a central agricultural and mechanical agency, for the exhibition and sale, at manufacturers’ prices, of all improved labor-saving appliances and agricultural implements, seeds, etc. Mr. P.’s business qualifications and his mechanical expe rience are a guarantee of success. It is, in fact, the ono thing needed in Macon, to which onr city is especially adapted from its central position and divergent railroads. The large and convenient rooms next to Lawton & Law ton’s, on Fourth street, are secured for tho purpose, and will be the. place for all interested in this subject to spend any vacant hoar pleas antly and profitably. The Cotton Crop for 1869- , 70. The most reliable estimates of the yield of cotton for ’69-’70 place it at 2,500,000 to 2,750,- 000 bales, the opinion being freely expressed that it will reach the latter figures, if the supply of labor needed daring the picking season does not fall short. Some Northern journals put the figures as high as 3,000,000 bales. We believe there is cotton growing sufficient to make thrlee million bales; bnt we fear, as does the Now Orleans Picayune, that we have not sufficient labor in the South to secure that amount. With plenty of labor we can supply the world with cotton. We clip tho foregoing from the Savannah Re publican merely to say that we think this view of the probable magnitude of tho crop is quite too rose-colored. Our impression is that the cotton crop of Georgia, at least, cannot exceed that of laat year and ia more likely to fall con siderably short of it. Englfoli International Land and La bor Agency. We have received from Birmingham, Eng. land, a circular announcing the formation of an organization to facilitate emigration from Eng land of the better class of people—farmers’ sons with some capital—well-to-do tradesmen, man ufacturer.-), skilled mechanics, governess, fe male clerk-*, housemaids, etc., soliciting cor respondence with J.

Editors Telegraph : The recent deoision of Chief Justice Chase, in the United Statds Cir cuit Court for the District of South Carolina, in the cotton suit, McLeod vs. Calicott, where certain cottons had been seized by Calicott as agent of the United States Treasury Depart, ment, subsequent to Jnne 30, 1865, is a subject in which a large number of individuals in the Southern' States are directly interested: The •ase above cited was one brought by McLeod in an action of trespass for the seizure of thirty- nine bales of cotton whioh the said Calicott, as Treasury agent, claimed as property belonging to the United States, having been forfeited to the government as property of the late so-called “Confederate States,” but which the plaintiff held was his private property, not having been surrendered to tho Federal Government prior to Juno 30,1869. In this case the Chief Justice, in his charge to the jury, said: “The pleadings present the issue which you aro to try. First: Did this cotton belong to Alexander McLeod, the plaintiff, in October, 1865 ? Was it his property at that date ? And, second : Was the defendant justified in what he did by virtue of his office as Supervising Agent of the Treasury ? “That the cotton belonged to the plaintiff, nnlera his title had been divested by the cap. tore, seems not to be questioned." Under several acts of Congress, dnringtho late war, Supervising Agents of the Treasury Department were appointed in the several in- surgent States, and charged with certain specific duties. Among these duties was that of receiv ing from the military officers of the United States all property captured by them, with in structions to turn it over to the proper authori ties of the United States for sale and for ac count. It was alleged, and not denied, that Calicott was Supervising Agent, and had this general authority. In this capacity it was his duty to receive from the military authorities, and from private soldiers, all property captured by the forces of the United States during the late war, within his agency. If this case had depended on this general au thority, the only question for the jury to have decided would have been, was this cotton cap tured property? But there was something more in this case. These supervising agents were appointed by the Seeretary of the Treasury, un der regulations approved by tho President of the United States, and were subject, in all re spects, to his direction and control: and the general regidations established had relation only to a. state of rear. Now, actual hostilities between the Insurgent States and the United States, it is held, termi nated practically in May, 1865. The Secretary of the Treasury, on the 27th of June, I8Gt, ad dressed a circular to his agents, in which he prescribed a rule for their government in the new state of things. The fourth section of that circular provided that officers “charged with the duty of receiving and collecting, or hating in their possession or under t 1 eir control, captured, abandoned, ox confiscable personal property, will dispose of the same in accordance with regula tions heretofore prescribed, and refrain from receiving such from military or naval authorities aster the 30th instant. Therefore, we are to infer that the general regulation, which required these Treasury agents to receive all captured property from the officers of the United States, was bere rescinded on the 27th of June, 1865, with the following limitation. “This will not be considered as interfering with collecting the property recently captured by or surrendered to the forces of the United States, whether or not covered by, or included in, the record delivered to the United States mil itary or Treasury authorities by rebel military officers or cotton agents.” The new regulation or prohibitory order, therefore, did not extend to property which had been captured or surrendered by the military officers of the Confederate government to tho United States. “But, with that exception,’’ says Chief Justice Chase, “the prohibition is complete tend final, and no agent of the Treasu ry Department was justified in receiving, after the 30Ui of June, 1865, any captured property, UNLESS HERETOFORE SURRENDERED; MUCH LESS WAS ANT SUCH OFFICER WARRANTED IN MAKING ANX CAPTURE OF UNSURnENDERED COTTON HIMSELF, AF- n-a WITHOUT MILITARY AID. He had no authority to do so. An i>; = pnweis, as we have said to you, were derived from the Treasury Department, and when the Treasury Department withdrew that general authority, it was at an end,” American Law Times, Au gust, 1869. « H The case being submiffed to the jury with these facts before them, and while the Judge decided that the damages, if fonnd against the defendant, could not hold good against him per sonally, but agninst tho Government as the prin cipal, the jury rendered n verdict in favor of the plaintiff in the sum of $11,700, or at the rates of sixty cents per pound for 19,500 pounds of cotton. | I There are many claims of this nature in the Southern States which have never been made up, or if made, have been placed in incompe tent hands, or actions commenced in the wrong courts, or against the many parties, which, if they were placed in proper hands, judgments could be obtained and the money secured, and that speedily. Respectfully yours, C. P. Culver. Washington, D. G., Sept. 2, I860. Tlie Cotton Crop of 1SC9—Develop ment ot the South. From the Selma (Ala.) Times, August 29. • Tho estimates from well-informed sources place the number of bales of cotton that the South will raise this year at 3,n00,000, and it is, wo think, perfectly safe to calculate on 2,500,000 bales. And we think there are equally reasona ble grounds to assert that tho average prico will bo at least twenty-five cents per pound. If the crop amounts to 3,000,000 of bales and brings twenty-five cents, it will bring into the country $300,000,000, and if only 2,500,000 bales be raised at twenty-five cents, wo will receive for it $250,000,000. And a large portion of this amount will be surplus for investment, as it will not be required by the planter to pay off debts. f A comparatively small portion of it will be re quired for purchasing supplies for another year, for planters generally have profited by tho les sons of the past, and have raised grain crops in addition to cotton. The Southern people, and especially the planters, are in a better condition financially than they have ever been since the war, for they are comparatively free of debt, and as there aro no negroes to buy and no necessity of adding to their landed property, this vast sum of money can bo devoted to building foundries, factories, mills, importing unproved machinery, increasing onr present means of transportation, opening now routes of commerce, and to the development generally of the resources of the country. Ten per cent, on two hundred and fifty millions is twenty-five millions, and even if this sum alone were expended in enterprises of the kind we have mentioned, in the sections where the cotton was raised, what a tremen dous difference it would make; and if the sys tem were kept up for a few years the South would soon become the most iudepeudent and richest country on tho face of the earth.

' “ jOnr Great mineral Region.*:-"—.- from the Oolunbut : The trip from which we have just returned, and of which we have given our readers running notes made during, its progress, has convinced us that Northwestern Georgia and Northeastern Alabama constitute the great mineral region of the United States. No doubt the belt extends through Alabama nearly to the western bounda ry of the State, and through Georgia to and per- haps beyond the western. lines of North and South Carolina. But the limits first named are unequalled in the great abundance and variety of the ores to be found in them, their accessibil ity, and the superior quality of the greater por tion of them. It seems as if Nature, in a pro pitious moment, had emptied into this region immense stores of all the minerals valuable for the purposes of art or commerce. Other re gions were favored each with a few of them, but the section above defined had the whole of them showered down (or upheaved) literally one upon another. To convey an idea of the great variety of these minerals, we copy a memoran dum made of specimens exhibited to us by D. R. Mitchell, Esq., in his office at Rome—all of which were obtained from localities very near that city: Ooperas ore, alum ore, gold-bearing quartz, acicular (fibrous) iron ore, Hematite iron ore, slate from two localities, Plumbago, unexcelled, variegated shale overlying coal, black slate overlying coal, coal of all the varieties, whetstone, oilstone, Fuller’s earth, white and variegated, and- poroelain, very fine. In the extensive and varied collection of min erals exhibited to our company at Cartereville, there are several important ones not named in' the above list. Marble and other beautiful ma terial for slabs, ornaments and building par. poses, abound in this section. Pennsylvania has iron and coal; several of the New England States have marble and granite of a valuable kind; Missouri has iron and lead. But neither of these States can, in the minerals which it furnishes, compare with the seotion of Georgia and Alabama above described, which has all of them and a great many more. We do not name lead in the list of ores seen during our late trip, but we understand that it too, is to be found in that region. All that is needed is capital and enterprise to put these crude mine rals into the shape required for commerce. Their abundance, accessibility and superior quality will make success iu this enterprise a certainty. The extensive development of one mineral will lead to the development of another^ until attention will be strongly directed to the inexhaustible wealth of this region, and the miners, smelters and rollers of poorer and more exhausted regions will see that they must come South to follow their occupations profitably and make their investments pay. We believe that the development of the vast mineral wealth of Upper Georgia and. Alabama cannot much longer be postponed, and that when the needed capital and energy are directed to the work, thoso sections will prosper and flourish in an extraordinary manner. We learned on onr trip (but not from the doc tor himself) that the rare and beautiful collec tion of minerals at Cartereville, of which we have heretofore written, were presented to Dr. J. H. DeVotie, and that he will appropriate them for the use of the public schools of this city. The collection is a most valuable one, and will please and instruct all who see it. The variety of the mineral resources of Upper Georgia will be well represented by this collec tion, and it will excite the wonder as well as the admiration of all who may examine it. Dr. DeVotie was zealous and industrious in his search for mineral specimens, and it is grat ifying that he so well succeeded in obtaining a rich collection- Fire in Coinmtms—Buruins: of tite Rope Works-Loss $10,500. From the Sun of the Ith inttnnt.) Yesterday afternoon the alarm of fire was given abont two o’clock. Heavy smoke was seen in the direction of tho North Commons, and it was discovered that the buildings occu pied by the “Muscogee Machine Rope Com pany” were wrapped in flames. A strong east wind was blowing, and to n short time the struc ture was in ashes. There had not been time to stop the engine, and the machinery kept running until the fire stopped it. The engines and hook and ladder company came on the gronnd, but they could do nothing. It was feared for awhile the wind would drive the fire across the street to the residence of Mr. A. D. Brown, but the speedy burning of the shop prevented such a disaster. There were large quantities of wood stored in the yard of the works, and the houses near by, but beincr on the side from which the wind came they escaped, in the buuiung were consumed four coils of rope and twenty hales of hemp. Some forty coils of rope had been sent to the city a few minutes previously. The hemp of the company was stored' elsewhere. Tho property destroyed was located beyond the Montgomery and west Point railroad and the North Commons. The building was a large one story structure. The works were run by steam and employed about twenty laborers, who aro thrown out of work. Th% buildings were erected and the machin ery purchased since the war, at a cost of $17,- 000. Not many months since a new company was formed, with G. W. Woodruff as President, Frank Ellis, Secretary, and G. W. Woodruff, W. O. Gray and J. B. Clapp, as directors. They purchased the grounds and works for $12,500, and had an additional capital of $10,000 for baying materials. As we have stated, the ma terial was not kept on the grounds. The con cern was prospering, and it was expected a div idend of twelve per cent, would be declared by the first of March. The fire originated by some means in pickery and soon flashed over the entire building. The property was insured for $8,000 in different companies, each for a small amount, 1 repre sented by D. F. Wilcox. Some portion of the machinery will be saved. The loss to the Rope Company is estimated at $2500. jjt is donbtfnl whether the works will bo rebuilt. The destruc tion of this establishment is a great loss to the city. . ■ Tlie Widower’s Wife. - . Within the year the widower found consola tion, and this .time the wife was young and pretty—that is to say, she was generally so es teemed—being white, plump, hard, and crisp as a turnip just pulled from the ground. She was selfish, indolent, pettish, with small intelli gence and no reason—a white, blind force. ' To be married was to be married; and that was all ehe knew, except that it involved new dresses, a white veil, and some flowers. After that she entertained some vagne notion that generous living and all sorts of .holiday delights flowed perpetually in' of themselves, and that she, at any rate, had only to stand and wait. Her ideas of marital felicity underwent, to company with her fatalistic yoke-fellow, a singularly sudden transformation, and she went blindly bumping about her house like a bat when the sunshine is all at once let in upon it. “Leander, I want thisand. “Leander why don’t you get me that? Mrs. So-and-so has it., and I want it and will have it!” These and snob like were her staple of conversation. Before long came threats. “I'll go back to my father; see if I don’t! Yon might get me things like other folks! I always had sweet cake at home! If you haven’t got money, tell thf>sn to give you some! I’ll have a bine satin dress and pearl ear rings, or I’ll go home to my fatherAnd her round white face would flounder among her pillows as she thus teased for half the night.— And,'sure enough, the threat got itself executed at last; and with a little white head, much like her own, roiling about on her shoulder, and a little bundle of blankets crashed in herarms,she one day took np line of march, leaving the cup board bare.—Alice Gary.

The engine, with an omnibns attached, was ran up and down an in cline to exhibit its speed and the ease with which it could be ’ controlled. It went up the hill at the rate of seven miles an hour, and came down it at the rate of nine. It turned in the Toad with far greater ease than if drawn by horses, was pulled np instantaneously at the word of command, and even backed up hill. The dexterity with which it licked its way between strings of cart- lorsos, omnibuses, and cabs, and the do cility with which it stopped or turned whenever it was required were marvelous. It ran from one end of Prince street to the other without stopping, then tamed down South Charlotte street, aDd on through North Charlotte street to ForrCst, where at the steepest point, when the descent looked really dangerous, it was brought to a sudden standstill, to show how completely it was under command, and how entirely it could dispense with any kind of break; m number ten; prisoner then went to the back of the store and returned with a pistol in his hand and asked him if he was going to buy the boots; de ceased said no: the prisoner then presented his pis tol to Aaron’s breast and told him to give up his money: deceased started to run, when the prisoner grabbed at him. missed, and followed him; when deceased was about starting down -the stairs the pistol tired: they all ran down into tho street: I left George Allen's house when Mr. Shropshire got up from bis hunkers; don’t knowhow to’express myself better than by saying he was what the old. woman in the country call • hunkering down;” all I know of this affair is overhearing this conversation; I did not want anything to do with this case; I be lieve Mr. Zunder honest in all hia statements; but think ho was mistaken as to the exact point of time; the only thing I said at that time, was to tell Geo. Allen to speak louder, as Mr. Shropshire was, un fortunately. hard of hearing: this is the only remark I now remember to have made, before Mr. Shrop shire got up from his position; my recollection is not very positive, but I think Mr. Zunder was there the second time X calleJ; when I first called. I was not excited in the least; afterwards, I confess to feeling some little excitement, after I had heard Geo. Allen’s statement; several darkies were about the door; I told them not be excited, for the laws would certainly bo-vindioatad: room was very small; deceased bad his feet, close by the door; his head was near the upper cud of the room; I was not re quested by any officer to leave the room; afteryrards I said: “Slirop.,”(my usual way of addressing him.") make your statement in your paper an im partial ono; don’t prejudice the public mind in any way upon this question; I- then remarked that he, through his paper, ought to rebuke the Jews for go ing out upon the streets and pulling them in to trade with them, and abusing them if they did not trade with them; I spoke quit© lond to Mr- Shrop shire, (who ia a little hard of hearing.) and in tne loud speaking manifested more excitement than I really felt; I was somewhat excited, I admit; I was not interrupted until I said all I had to say; Capt. Simpson then said to me: “There is a great deal of excitement here, and yonr remarks, Major, has a tendency to increase it;” I then said, 1 well, I have no more to say," and soon after left the room: when I left, I think I left Mr. Shropshire and some of the police in the room with tho dying man; do not know when Mr. Zunder went: when Dr. Mettauer left, George Allen was seated on the floor near the heart of deceased; Dr. Mettauer was there when I came; saw him extract tho ball, and should not liavsseu- terad the room, had I not seen him; while Dr. Met tauer was there, George Allen changed his position in order to assist Dr. Mettauer; he held a saucer or something. I think, to catch the blood, - when the ball was being extracted: think George Allen kept telling deceased to be quiet and not to talk; during myfltst vieit, I thought George Allen had juBtgot possession of the fact that Aaron Kemp had been accused of stealing from the Jew. store; he said: “They needn’t to say he stole anything for hs didn’t;” there were several negroes abont the room at tho time Dr. Mettauer was there; up. to the time of George Allen’s statement my attention was not particularly drawn to him: T think Geo.
