Insurrection »t Camilla, Ga' ou the 19tl» Inst. It seems that W. P. Pierce, formerly Bureau ageut at this place, sod a mao named Murphy, made an attempt to raise an insurrection at Camilla. Saturday, a crowd to the number of two hundred, mostly negroes, arrived within about three miles of Camilla about one o'clock P H., and was met by a white man who told them they had better not go into town armed as it was m violation of the Governor’s proclama tion, and would create a disturbance.— They paid no attention whatever, to his warning, and somo of them made the remark, “that is what we came for.”— About a mile from town they were met By a deputation of the best, and most prudent ci’izenß of the place, headed by the Sheriff, who advised them very ur gently not to go into town armed, as it would cause trouble ; but if Uey would •tack their armsand some in, they might apeak aa long aa they wished. They refused to do anything of the kind, or listen to any advice. The committee remained with them until they were near town, vainly ondeaveriug to pre vail on them not to go iorward armed, but Murphy said he bad been refused permi'aioD to speak at some gentleman’s plantation, that the Court House was fha proper place, and there be would go. Ibe negroes all set up a wild yell, and •aid they would follow him, regardless of eonsequenoea. Ou enter »g the town, Pierce and Putney were in ad vance in a buggy and proceeded a: •nee to the Court bouse. The fife and drutu band, in a large wagon, lull of ne gro men sad women, followed, and bait ed near Cex’s store where a white mtD again met them, armed with a shot gun, and under the iu&ieuce of liquor be told them to quit play ing, and when they refused, fired his gun into the gronud about five paces m front of him- The echo es bis gun bad hardly died away, when, as if by a preconcerted ar rangement, the whole number of ne groes that were armed, amounting to over n hundred, poured a volley into the small Dumber of white men present, seriously wounding three, sod sligntly wounding several others. The whites who numbered but twenty who bad arms, returned'the fire ; end the negroes broke for the woods in all direotioos-- Piorce a'ter them endeavoring to rally, and make them fight; but failing, he al- so fled to tbe woods, and was persuej by some ts the ciiixens, but noon wero overtaken except Mur; by, who was cap lured, and in the excitement strueh on the bead yii h a gsr -barrel, but net se riously ir j ired. lie was then allowed to leave for home,after being t -Id that he bad bctlir cot lirit Camilla any more, as it was Dot a healthy place f,r any one w ho was try ing to create a rev olution, for political capital. Tbe cas" ua.tics as far as known were nine ne groes who were in the bind wsgcu kill* ed, and about thirty or forty wounded ; all very slightly with buckriiot There is a great deal of cx-'ifement in Albany among the n 'grocs, as a great many of them had friends and relatives that went to Camilla, and have not returned. At tbe riquest of some of the citizens of Albany, II Hobbs aud C. M. Clark were sent to Cumiila to learn all the tacts they could aboutthe fight ; but the excite ment again increasing towards night, Col. Howard of the Frecdmen’s Bureau, requested Judge D. A. Vason and Cap*. Johnstmtogo to Camilla algo, •nd gather all the particulars with tbe necessary pap< rs, and Dames cf killoU as far as known. Donkey’s Brayiog.

From the Daily Constitution. SPEECH OF HON. C. B. WOOTEN, OF THK ELKVF.NTH SKNATORIAL DIBTRICT, In the S nate, September 17 h, 1868, on tbe resolution declaring that that, portion of tbe Governor’s message which relates to the action of the Sen ate on the negro eligibility question shall not be emered on tbe Journals Nr. P/esulent: The resolution now under discussion, presents for the con ideration of this body, a question of more that ordinary gravity aud impor tance —a question that involves the rights, character aud dignity of this Sen ate. That question, sir, is not whether tbe Senate was right or wrong in de claring tho colored man ineligible to seats on this floor, but it is whether that portion of tho Governor's message which relates to the action of tho Sen ate in the matter shall he entered upon tbe Journals. This is the issue before us, and in order to determine it wisely and correctly, it will be necessary to advert, tor a moment, to the history of ibis transaction, and to the character of the documeut which it is proposed to exclude from the Jonurnals. The history of the matter is, that af ter decl .ring two persons of color who oocupied seats on this flior, ineligible, tbe Senate passed a resolution respect fully requesting the Governor to trans mit to this body tbe names of persons reoeiviog the next highest votes to said persons of color. This was done in ors der that those seats might be occupied in accordance with law. To this reso lution the Governor replies, furnishing, it is true, the desired information, but at the same tinr.e in an extended and la bored message, protes'iog against aod condemning, in unqualified and re proachful terms, the action of the Sen ate on the question of n.gro eligibility. Such is tbe character of that portion of tho document which the resolution, now before the S nate, seeks to pro scribe. Now, tbe consideration and treaimcn*- which that document norite at the hands of the Sencte, depend) up on tbe legal oiLgatums and rights of tbe Governor in the premises. If in the case referred to, the Govern?* was legally bound or called upon to tr-.ns mit to tbe Senate such official docn meet, protisring against and condemn ing the ae'ion of this body, then, how ever much tho Senate might d.ff.-r from him iu opinion, it must be concluded that it would be proporto treat his com munication with respect, and tc place it upon the Journals. But if, ou the con trary, the • Governor was not legally bound, or ca'led upon to tra.mil such message in that case, then it is limply tbe opinion of Rufus K. Bullock, aLd not a communication from the Governor of Georgia, entitled to be received, treat ed and respected as such. Iu that caso is would be nothing more than a com munication from a private individual, protesting sgaimt the action of tbe Sen ate, in a matter belonging exclusively to the Senate, and with wbioh such in dividual had no concern. It will not be pretended that, the Senate should not be iusulted, nor it- J uruals eucuunbered with such extraneous and impertinent matter. That the Governor will be treated, respee'ed and obeyed as such only wheu be acts within tho scope and sphere of bis legal authority, is a proposition too plain to require argument. Within the pale of the law be is the Grveroor, and the Senate will refer to his author ity ; outside of it be us none, and the Seuato will act towards him as a priva'e individual. The correctness of this po sition will not be seriously controverted. Now, the Constitution io deeleariug that each house shall ke tbe judge of the election returns and qualifications of its own members, conferred upon the Senate exclusive juris action of the qnestion upon which t passed. Tbe fundamental law of the land excluded from all participation therein every pew. rr and persons except the Senate. It is a matter over which the Governor had no Control—not even the pewer of a veto—which is vested in him in most other eases. He had ro legal connec tion with tbe Iranstction, neither :s Governor n>r as an individual, uor was le in any concoivaMe way responsible for tbe result. Tho law nowhere, not even by tho slightes implication, calls übon him fir sty official expression of o; inion in such a case Neither his Maker nor bis country would have held him to account for the great wrong which ao violently shocks tho exalted moral s-nsc, nor for the stupendous po litical pditical blunder which so siuob disturbs the cnlnged statesmenshio of the school of political philosophers to whiob he belongs. Tho Governor, there fore, in thus protruding his political sen intents and opinion:—in volunteer ing ao interference where the law does not call nor indeed, authoriie it— is entitled to no more respect or consid eration than any private individual uu der similar circumstances. But the question is propounded in all seii usness by the opponents of die res olu ioa. Lias not Governor Bullock the right to enjoy and make known his opinions in regaid to the subject of ne gro eligibility ? By all meuns, I reply, i lie is entitled to have aud m ke known bis opinions, but since tbe law docs not call upon him to express them officially tu the Senate in this case, they should n >t be honored w.ch a place on the Jour- Dais. If tbe Governor desires to give publicity to his political sentiments and opinions, the newspaper press aDd the hustings ace open to him, but let them uotits ibis ca.-e be put upon youl reootd where they would staud as an enduring reproach to this Senate But, say they, he is Governor, aud therefore his opiu ious should be entered upon the jour nals, though he expresses them in this case as a poii'ician. Tnis is a non te quitur: iurther, it is palpably absurd. Toe i ffiee of Governor does not justify him in thrusting upon the Senate his political sentimeuts in an official gutb, when there is no authority for it. It is argued further, that the G ivernor was rtquts'ed to furnish drain information, 1 aud that in the | erformunce of that duty it was right and pr per for him to ap pend a message on tbe other subject.— 1 This conclusion by uo means follows. ■ To illustrate, suppose the Secretary of the Senate, whose duty it is to record the proceedings of the body, had, si cr completing bis record on the subject referred to, offered an elaborate expres sion of bis opinion condemning and re proaching the Senate as far as its ac tion, would this Senate have received such an impertinent rebuke with tbe respect of spreading it on the Journals ? Certainly not. With no more propriety can tbe message, now in di cuesion, claim a place on tbe Journals. Senators, tbe precedent which you will establish to day will be lraught wi h momentous constquence-i. Let us arouse ourselves to the magnitude of the question. It involves toe rights, independence and integrity of the Senate. It strikes at tbe very vitals of ftoe Government You cannot see those rights stricken down, those vitals destroyed, without degrading yourselves aud endangering tbe liberties of your countrymen- Be it remembered tl at there is pends ing before tbe Senate a bill to establish fixed legislation on the. subject which is made tbe burden of the me.-sage. It ibis ao effort to forestall your action ou that measure by informing you that it is not in harmony with Kxecutive views of public policy ? Senators, burl it back with tho stamp of your reprobation up on it. Are you an independent body, -a co-ordinate branch of tbe Guvernment, capable of thinking and acting for your soives and for your constituents, or do you sit here to ecLo and refljot the opin ions of the Governor ? Is the Execu tive to bo the Aaron’s rod which shall swallow np all other powers ortho Gov ernment? Are you prepared to yield your independence, bow submissively to the dictates of the Governor ? When ever you do this, the dearest liberties of your oountrymen, the rights of rife, lib erty and property will be known only in the hitsory of tbe past. Senators, you who vuted to declare the negro in eligible, are you prepared to ratify this insult to your manhood, your independ ence and dignity as Senators? Arc you to be badgered and threatened—to bo told with uopa;ailed effrontery—by • self constituted dictator—that you have stultified and foresworn yourselves ; that yon are incapable of construing the Constitution which yon have sworn to supper* ? Who gave li. B. Bullock, E q l , (for vben bo transcends the law, and tbe ruic.. of pvrnriety, I speak of him as an individual ami #?• #s a Gov ernor,) who I ask, gave him 'be right to dictate in this matter ? Who con s'ituted him your conscience keeper? 1 call upon you. Senator, as you value the manhood and dignity of this body, and the rights of the people, to repel the dignity with btceming spirit. Such acts of usurpation are unprecedented in tho history of the cmntry—and it is not too much to say—that they would shake thrones in Europe,with tbe earth quake of popular indignation. Let us stand by the old land marks. In the better and: ys of the Republic v*ur Troups, your Crawfords, your McDon alds, vour Cobbs and yonr Johnsons tkoueht it quite sufficient to adhere to the Executive Deoartmcnt of the Gov. eminent, aud not to invado others. It was thought they did well. They were faithful servants, all, and retired with the plaudits and esteem of a grateful public. But anew order of things is sought to be introduced. Tbe so oalled New Era has produced a man who seems to be capaple of bearing tbe‘palm alone,’ whose capacity clams to be equal to the task of managing all the departments of the Government, and whose penetration has reached the arcana of executive duty, hereto fore undiscovered. Truly wo may look for a political milleniura. May we not say, “Now is tbe winter of our discon tent made glorious summer by this sun of (New) York.” I commend him to a careful imitation of tbe example of his predecessors and assure him that the people will congratulate him, and them selves as well, if he will oonfine birnself to s faithful and successful discharge of tho legitimate dutios of his office. N 'W, Senators, the issue is upon you Will you vindicate tbe rights and liber ties of the present generation and of pos ferity ? Will yon sustain tke charac ter, dignity and independence of this body as a co-ordinate branch of the Gov ernment ? Will the Senate do this ? Or will it fail in this orisi* aod show a truckli ig subserviency to executive usurpations ? I speak p’ainly. But to adopt tbe idea of a distinguished Eq glish statesm nos former days, when the rights and liberties of the people are in danger, it is criminal not to speak plainly. Such, Senators, are my veiws of the vital importance < f this question. Others may differ from mo. The en croachment of ooe department of gov ernment on tbe rights and duties of another ought always to be discouraged, and while I have breath I will protest ag-.inst it. Tbe Constitution has eon fijed the different departments of Gov eminent to seperatc bodies of magistra cy. Let us preservo and perpetuate these distinctions—let us vindicate tbe character and dignity of this body by refusing to enter upon its Journals a standing insult—let us be true to our selves and aot like men “who koow their righis, ami knowing, dare maintain them.” THE ASHBURN niRDEH, Official Report of Gen. Klcadc. .1 I The followir 8 is the official report in full of General Meude, touching the murder of Ashburn, in a negro house ol ill fame, at Columbus, Ga: lldu’rs 3d Military District Y Dkp’t of Ga.. Fla. and Ala. > Atlanta, Ga., July, 1868 ) Gen. V. S. Grant, Commanding the (J. S. Army, Washinyton, D. V : General —The numerous malicious and false statements that have been given to the puolic through the press for political and partisan purposes, in relation to tbe trial and the treatment of witnesses and prisoners implicated in the murder of Mr. G. W. Ashburn of Columbus, require, on my part, a special report, which is herewith made and to which is herewith made, and to which 1 beg to ask I may be author ized to (live that publicity which my vindication requires. The aoei mpany ing papers contain all the ins ructions, oruers and telegrams that h ive ema nated from these heudquur ers, and the replies made thereto. A careful perusal of these papers will give an accurate history ol ihe whole transac tion, aud will exhibit the part taken by each individual, whether military or civil, under my control. A brief syn opsis ol these papers and u succinct statement of the lacts in the case, is herewith subrni ted : Uu the 36th of March last a little after midnight, G W Ashburn, ex member of the Cans itutionul Cr.nven lion ot Georgia, was assassinated at a house where tie was boarding in the town of Columbus. Immediately on receiving notification, 1 instructed the commanding officer of Cos umbus, Capt. V\ in. Mills, 16th Infan ry, to make every effort in co operation with the civil authorities to det ct and ar rest the criminals. Captain Mi Is hav ing reported, the civil authorities were disposed to act with energy. I de clined the frequ nt recommendations ol parties to remove them, but subse quently, Capt. Mills reporting that the energy of the civil authorities wa* all show and mere y assumed, and that he could piace no teliance on them, I removed the Mayor and Board of Al dermen, together w ith the Marshal and bis Deputy—appoin ing others, and appointmg Capt. Mills Mayor. About the 6th ot April, nearly a week after the a-sassi nation, Capt. Mills, having obtained sufficient evidence to warrant his action, arrested by my order, some ten ci izens ol Columbus, either as participators, accessaries, 3r lorn >ving some knowledge of the facts of ihe case. I hese persons were subsequent ly relea-ed on bonds to appear and stand their liial. FinJiug that owing to the character of this crime, in a great measure, poli teal as well as s>- cial, there was no effort on the part of the communi y where it was c -mmit t ;d—either through the authorities or among tbe citizens—to ferret out the guilty. I deemed it- proper to ask of the War Depariment that a competent detective officer should be sent to re port to me, that he might assist Capt Mills in bis researches. On the 18th of April, Mr. Reed having arrived from Washington, was sent to Colum bus to report to Capt. Mills. On Mr. Reed reaching Columbus, and being made acquainted with the evidence then procured, he earnest.y urged 1 should send for a Mr Wbitely, then iti Kansas in the service of the Internal Revenue Department. My application to Commissioner RolHds being courte ously received and acceded to, Mr Wuiteley arrived about May Ist, and was immediately sent to Capt. Mills. — Noon after h:s arrival at Columbus, Mr. W hi elev reported he was satisfied Capt. Mills was on the track of the criminals, and bad arrested s mo of the principals, but that it was utterly impraoticuole to obtain any testimony from anv party in Columbus as their lives would be forfeited il ll i y dared to disc ose what they knew, and be r commended that certaiu parties, whom he believe t had a knowledge of the aftai-, should be removed to some secure place, where, beiug protected, they could without fear disclose such facts a» were in .heir possession. Upon receipt of this communication I author ized the transfer of tbe parties named to Fort Pulaski, and directed the com manding officer of the poet to permit the detectives, Whitefey and Reed, to have free access to the prisoners, and to have a general direction ot their treatment. At the t-atue time l cau tioned the detectives that io their ef fors to extract the facts us knowh to these parties, n> unusual or cruel means should be resorted to. The re sult ol this movement was the disc!on tiro < f most important fuels i v several parti s who had not dared to sjieak out until under the prole tiou of the government From the statements made by these prisoner* a number of others wuf! arre ted tiud b ougi t to i Atlanta e.-rly in June Being com ! pe led to go North tnys If, and other circnms an.-es, de aved the crguniXu tion of tin Military Commission till late in June. Finding on itiy return the most false and exaggerated state ments in rugard to tho treatment of prisoners and witnesses I called on Gen Sibley. fommiu.<liog sub-district of Georgia, for a re|Kirt on their treat ment at this poet (Allan a), and oft Unpt. Mil sand Capt. Cos k tor reports as the treatment of those confined nt Ci. urnl>us and Fort I’uluski respect ive’y. Ia s> called on Mr. Whiteley, the detec ive, for a report on the s me subject. All these r-ports are here wi h submitted, and i: wi 1 he seen from them, and from the affidavit of the prisoners themselves attached to Mr. Whiteley’s report, that the exag gerated s at. ments which for political purposes the press have given circula tion to are all false, and buve no Inun dation beyotrd the fact admitted by Mr Win eloy that he did operate on the fears of two negroes, Wells and Stapler, whom he b lieved kuew souk t ling ; but that soon finding they knew nothing, they wore released, and with the excepti, u ot threatening to shave the r Lends, and confining them lor some hours in a cell at F.<rt Pulaski, [ fevtously arranged for the punishm nt of retraemry sofiiers, they were well treated, and were in no wise injured The trial has been in progre-s now some 20 days, and the evidence for the prosecu ion made public. It is for the department and the people of the coun ry to judge whether with the evidence as adduced on the trial, 1 was urn only jus ified but compelled to inrest ami bring to trial the patties implicated.. My conscience is tree and throughout the whole transaction l have been animated by but one pur pose, which was to secure tho ends of jus ice aod vindicate the law. The character of the crime, the social stat us of parties implicated in its commis sion, and the doubts as to the guilt of the several patties, hud no influence on me except to increase my determi nation to Iring the facts out, even at tbe risk of for a ritne putting persons to inconvenience who might subse q.uenily prove nnocent Hence many ar.es’.s were made of parties whu wo: e subsequently released, on its being proved that they were netth. r partici pators or had any knowledge of the case In alt these eases, these parties were we I treated, and on being dis cliarged wero paid the usual witness lees for the peri and they were removed front their t usine.-s. Hud the civil authorities acted in good faitn and with energy, and made any attempt to ferret out the guilty, or had the peop e of Columbus evinced or te t any horror of the crime and co oowra c ; to any way in de ecling its perpetrators much that was s till ng-y harsh and arbitrary mighf I ave and won and have been avoided ; but the case icqoired prompt and decided tnea tires, which l did riot hesitate to take, and am sat isfied now tint when the whole truth is made pub ie, as it will be by the and cuments accompanying this report and the evidence on the trial that every right thinking matt will ju-t.iy me.
