Bullock. The iufumatKn tlierein containeil is matter of hUtory to the people of the State geucru! y. and particularly so to the a: :> elect to the next Legislature. The in debtedness of the State by r< e. - u it aid loaned to tho South G. ;gia -V Florida, tho Brunswick -V Albany, and the Cherokee Railroads will L $7,545,900 when said Roads arc e->ui pletod. Other Railroads have been ; voted aid, but they have not put them selves in condition to receive said aid ;' should they do so, tho indebtedness < i' tho State will bo double the abov« amount on this score alone. We im agine the Georgia Legislature have had railroad aid on the brain so much heretofore that there w ill be no further , elforts made to increase the indebted- ; ness of tho State in this particular.— Wo think there will be a reaction, and that a majority of tho members to the present or uoxt Legislature will bo in structed by their constituents to stop the State aid business, and make void what has been done, if it can be done iu good faith to parties concerned and according to law. Gov. 1 hillock rightly takes tho po sition that said committee has no right to demand of him, as Governor of tho State of Georgia, a report as to tho in debtedness of tho State, rates of tax ation, election laws, &e. If they have a right to call on the Governor of New York for such information, they have tho same right to call on him, as Goorgia is in tho Union as the peer of any other State. While he takes the above position, lie is glad on account of opposition to him by a faction in Iris own party, headed by tho Treas urer of tho Stato, Mr. Augier, arid one of tho leading railroads of tho Stato (tho Central wo suppose), to lay be fore tho Committee and tho world tho information desired. This report is history, and whether true or false, is foFour m xt Legislature to find out. We are pleased to see that tho Govornor has seen fit to hon or tho Committee with a report, as thore is information contained therein that is calculated to make tho best Statesmen and citizens begin to cast around and enquiro as to the port ol destination of old Goorgia.

Aside ' heart, hew strange that tho descend ants of these opposing factions should, through succeeding generation-*, eateh with insi iration the hatred of their fort fathers,and after severing their al legiance to tUir native, country and becoming allied w ith the Amerivin Re public, should engage in a struggle only calculated to result in mischief 1 In giving ur. account cf this great civ il riot as a part of the l .-tny of tho times, it Leiu.es necessary, to be ap preciated, to knew wi.o the Orange men are, from whence sprung that ti tle, Ate. Tho following historical sketch iu relation to their origin, is taken front the Atlanta S..a, and will not prove uninteresting : * “When Janies 11, tho Roman Cath olic King of Rrotestant England, was compelled to lice from his country, a majority of his Irish subjects being Catholics espoused his cause. The Rrotestant Party, by the Revolution of IG<>B, declared his throne vacant, aud settled the crown on William, of Orange, and his wife Mary, a Rrotest ant daughter of James 11. By tho Act of Settlement, tho succession to the throne of England was arranged. By this act tho Stuarts are excluded from tho throne and upon it rests tho title of tho present Queen, Victoria, and her heirs, to tho crown. James II received aid from and his Irish Catholic subjects adhered faithfully to him in his adverse for tunes, until conquered and finally sub dued by William of Orange at Boyne Water. William of Orange, (known in En glish annals as William III), confis cated the lauds of the vanquished Ir ish lords and gentry who had adhered to tho fortunes of Juntos, divided them among his Dutch an l English follow ers, and established the Church of England over Ireland, whereby Cath olics w'ero com polled to pay tithes to support the Rrotestant religion. In accord with the inherent impuls es of human nature, in thoso times of religious intolerance, the new land lords wore not tho kindost of masters, nor wore their oppressed and dowm trodden tenants the meekest of labor ers und peasants. It is not surprising that tho vanquished and oppressed, (to use a recently invented, but ex pressive word), Ku-Kluxcd some of their oppressors, and that their land lords so suddenly enriched by tho for tune of war, found it convenient to ab sent themselves from their newly ac quired homes, and necessary to enter into secret leagues for mutual protection und defence. From tho very nature of tho polit ical situation at the time their organ izations originated, tho Kibbontnen wore all Catholics and tho Orangemen all Protestants. On no spot of earth ruled by any of the civilized powers, of Europe, has the oppressive policy which had its or igin in difference of religious faith two hundred years ago, boon so poristont ly persevered in, as has been that adopted by England aftor tho battle of tho Boyne towards her Irish sub jects.” Cincinnati Commercial New York -Special. The procession consisted of about one hundred and seventy Orangemen, whoso principal banner was one in scribed, * True Americans, Join us ” As the procession marched down tho avenue from Tweuty-nintli street, tho mob closwl in around it ou all sides and in tho rear, tho roughs shouting; Down with tho damned Protestants; to hell with them,” and using other insulting language. Still the parade moved on, neither the Orangemen, polico or military in any way resenting the foul epithets. While the parade was marching betwecu Twenty-sixth and Twenty third streets two shots, some say four, were fired from an upper window, ono of them striking a policeman, while the other hit a soldier. At about this time, also, Mr. l’age, the business manager of p’isk’s Opera House, was struck ou the head w ith a stone and killed. As soou as these shots were fired, a company of tho Ninth regiment turned on tho crowd, and fired a scattering volley. In a moment the other troops joined in tho attack, first, firing upon the crowd, and tljen making a charge. The crowd dispersed, and the military having reloaded, passed on. From the reports already received, it seems that tho -volley of the military killed thirty-seven persons, including a woman and a girl, and wounded thirty-one more. As soon as tho troops had passed, the killed and wounded were removed. One of tho companies was deployed as J skirmishers, and shot at every head - that dared to show itself out of any of j the windows of the house where tho I firing upon the procession originated, i Several persons on the roofs were , killed by the skirmishers, and one man, who was just in the act of cock ing a rifle, and taking aim at the sol diirs from a roof, was struck in tin head by one of the Eighty fourth bul lets, and toppled headlong into tho street below, dead us a doornail. (Several persons on the sidewalk joined in the fray at the shirt, and fired a few Volleys in the direction of the Orangemen, but this had only tho ef fect of drawing upon tho crowd 011 both sidei of the avenue a withering the from the regiments, the men aim eel low and brought down somebody every shot, ei.her wounded or dead. The Seventh regiment was at the head of tho column, at the time, and wheeled about in "rei r to support the Eighty fourth and Ninth, it they got too hard ly pressed. Tvo of the companies sus tained the Eighty-fourth with a steady tiro. The Eleventh, (Sixth and Tweu titth were also on tho spot, tho Or angemen being in a hollow square be tween the Ninth and Twenty-fifth. Ts.e panic that followed tho filing of the tn*qvs was probably indescrib u 10, and many persons in tho crowd were badly injured by being trampled : up. n during tire stampedo. The rest of the route of the parade was com paratively unmolested, although in sjiie of the warning they had had, crowds ou the bowery continually in sulted the Orangemen. At the Cooper Institute tho parade dismissed. Tho lull number of the fallen it was difficult to learn, fur many xvero hasti ly tukeii away by their relatives aud friends, in carts and wagons of v iri- j mis kinds, and others crawled into yards aud collars to die, unobservod and away from the heat of the sun.- That there were not less than sixty, however, is almost certain. At the corner of Twenty-fifth street, the walk ran with blood. To pass, you had to pick your way among tho corpses. In little alleys tho bodies of unfortunates were found, and in shady places where ever they were close at hand. There was hardly a houso in the neighborhood into which some maimed victim had not begged to be admitted, and on sheds and cool flags in tho rear they lay begging for surgical aid and to be removed to a hospital. Among them were women and children. A reporter knocked at the door of 318 Eighth avenuo ; pu-esently throe men n: ado their a ppearanco with fright ened faces. “Have you any killed or wounded hero ?”inquirc<l tho reporter. “No, said one of tho men “‘thank God, we are all safe, but we came pretty near it.” With all that he pointed to wards tho front of the house. Tho blinds were riddled. In another house, No. 1 Twenty fourth street, the door was opened by a refined matron of about forty, who w'as crying bitterly. Her father, Mr. Philip Ackerman, an old and respected man, had been ou tho top of the houso to witness the passage of tho process ion. When tho firing began, ho hast ily descended, but while walking along tho passage way on tho third floor, was shot dead through a window.* Tho matron had barely told her sto ry before a frightful clamor aroso at tho house door. “For God’s sake,” she exclaimed, “don’t open it; w'e shall all be murdered.” A gentleman, fear ing the breaking down of tho door, unbolted it, and a crowd of terrified persons poured in. “Tho soldiers ! tho soldiers ! ’’they cried ; “they are here again; they will kill us !” Every ono seemed in mortal terror for half an hour. . After tho slaughter, (ho southeast ern coruor of Twonty-fith street was still strewn with bodies. The Hies had already settled upon their faces, but some kind hand lutd driven them away, and covered tho bloody heads. About the corpses stood a crowd that was as large at 5 o’clock as it had been at 3. If tho cries for vengeance that wore heard there were not vain ravings, tho Irishmen who are respon sible for this slaughter may well rest uneasily. In tho apothecary, near tho corner of Twenty-sixth street and Eighth av enue, lay the body of a Ninth regi ment soldier, one Page a member of K. His forehead had boon battered in with a brick. Burns and E. Smith of Company E. wero detailed to guard the body. They stood over it with crossed bayonets, and while in this po sition a stranger approached them, and thrusting a sword eano through the door buried it in Burns’ shoulder. Then he stepped back into the street, and when tho Ninth regiment men raised their rifles to lay the assassin out ho was lost in a erbwd of inquisi tive but peaceable citizens. The doors of tho shop were locked and secured with a heavy iron bar.— Burns wos laid on a couch in an inuer room, and there tho soldiers and their friends remained until darkness mado it safe to appear on the streets. At precisely '2 o’clock tho procession formed. It consisted of two hundred and fifty police, commanded by In spector \\ ailing, two companies of the Seventh regiment, tho Twenty-second regiment, Gideon Lodge of Oiange inen. tho Eighty-fourth, Sixth, and Ninth regiments, and a battalion of police, commanded by Inspector Jumo son. The Orangemen numbered about one hundred, tho troops and polico over two thousand Atter a few false starts, the column proceeded about a block aud a half down Eighth avenue, when several stones wero thrown from tho roofs of the tenement houses on tho east sido of tho avenue, but no attempt was made to arrest them. r M hen between Twonty-soventh and Twenty-eight streets, a temporary halt was rendered necessary by the im mense throng which blockaded the avenuo from ono side to the other, when a report ran from the front to the rear that a man had been shot from the roof ot ono of the houses.— While tho truth of tire rumor was be ing discussed, a sudden, desultory fir ing was begun, which at first souuded like the discharge of a package of fire crackers The crowd swayed to and fro for a moment, then more rapid fir ing began. It proved to be from a large body of Hibernians, who cn-l trenched themselves in a row of teno motif houses between Twenty-seventh uud. Twenty-eighth streets, und armed with lilies, were filing on tho Orange men and their escort. At first the National Guard appear ed paralyzed ; they wavered, and one company became dovetailed with an other, but as though by a preconcerted signal, without any word of command or order, they turned toward the houses whonco proceeded the firing, and leveling their pieces, they fired. 'The rosult wasjfatal to at least twen ty persons. At Twenty-seventh street auu Eighth avenuo six doad bodies lay in a heap, w hile just around tlio cor ner were three men writhing in the agonies of death. One of them was a countryman, ono an Irishman, aud one an oi l negro. At tli* corner of Twenty-fourth street and Eighth avenue, one man had been shot dead, and lay on his face 011 the sidewalk. The police rallied with conspicuous bravery and began clubbing all who ran toward them, many of whom were frightened almost to death But ono man showed any cowardice. It was Captain Helm alone who did not face tho surging and stormiug criwd. He ran around the corner into Twenty eighth street, and thero remained, safely ensconced behind a brick build ing, until tho firing had ceased. The military fired, reloaded, and advanced at tho double-quick, to find uud face their unseen foe, but none were to be found. They had made tlieir, escape through rear passages, and had not harmed an Orangeman, but had created a terrific panic, which it will take years to olface. Three women, one member of the Ninth Regiment and Police officer Murphy, of Captain Killalea’s com mand, were almost instantly killed, be sides fifteen others. Over forty were wounded, some of them very danger ously. .The unseen enemy having disap peared, quiet wus once more restored aud the procession again took up the lino of march, down Eighth avenue to Twenty-third street, and down Twen ty-third street to Fifth Avenue. Be tween Fifth and Sixth Avenues an at tack was made on tho police compos ing tho rear guard, but it was quickly ropolled by them. Again at Twenty-socond street and Fifth Avenue they were attacked, but Inspector Jameson, who was particu larly conspicuous for his bravery, dis persed the ruffians by the effectual use of tho club. The procession then marched down to Fourth Avenuo, where the Orange -111011 entered, when they divested them selves of their regalia, and ono at a time went to their homes. The police and military wore then dismissed to await new developments during tho evening and night. Tho bullets [foil like hail, and the policemen were soon to throw them selves on the sidewalk to escape the danger. Air. H. S. Russel, 'of 252 West Twentieth street, a Deputy United States Marshal, foil on liis face until tho firing was over and while he was in that position a woman shot dead fell across his body. Air. C. Aforrit, of 238 East One Hundred and Twenty-six street, was standing at Twenty-fifth street aud Eighth avenue. lie says a small can non had been placed in front of Ap poles’ lager-beer saloon, and was man ned by four men whom he did not know. It was fired off at the troops simultaneously with their first volley. Mr. Merritt says 110 also saw a con erable number of men in his vicinity’ who were armed with revolvers, but ho did not remain to see whether they ■ used them- or not. | As soon as tlio firing by tho troops ] began 110 sprang straight through tho j shattered windows of the saltfon, aud : remained concoalud within until the danger was past. Then ho stepped out and found half-a-dozon doad lying where ho had been standing. Ho also claims to have seen Col. Fisk standing on the side-walk in his shirt-sleeves and conversing with one of tho officers shortly before tho out break. The tiring lasted two or throo min utos. Then tho long roll was beaten; again tho rifles were loaded with ball cartridges, and, flanked on both sides by tho police, the procossion marched on and up Twenty-third street. The troops passed by with blanched cheeks. They seemed panic-stricken. But tho scene presented ou their de parture was appalling. The houses in Eighth avenuo at that point are mostly private and all res pectable. The ground floor is invar iably devoted to business uses, and in tho upper stories families dwell, usual ly those of the shop-keepers below. After tho battle, beforo the ariival of tho procession, every window in theso buildings was fiilod by tiio in quisitive occupants. Now all were deserted, and on the brick fronts, the windows panes and tbo blinds, the effects of tho bullots wero everywhere to be seen. _ On the southeast corner of Twenty- I eighth street lay a portly middle-aged man named Latimer. His right low er jaw was shattered, and a bullet had pierced his neck. He lay bathed' in blood. Beside him lay Win Stan ton, of 325 West Twenty-fourth street shot through tho leg. Around tho corner lay four men and a woman, all dying, and from that point up toward Twenty-seventh street, tho killed and wounded strew ed the walk. To get tho names of all was an impossibility. All quiet at this hour, and rioters have dispersed, but it is feared that there will be more trouble yet. In the Sixteeuth ward to-night, threats of arson and murder were freely made. The latest threat of the rioters is that, as they are not allowod to dis pose of Orangemen publicly, they will murder them seriatim. The jiolice headquarters has the appearance of a besieged citadel. Cavalrymen, with drawn swords, guard every approach, and a strong force of millitary is quar tered on the upper floor. \\ all and Broad streets intense * excitement prevailed. The solid mer j chants and the bankers and brokers 1 the (stock and Produce Exchange \yoio unanimous in their condomLia lion of the city authorities. \\ lien the members of the Stock Eucliango began to arrive, st anding I as usual, in front of door, before they went up, every ono talked about tho matter. It was tho universal topic. Ohio ■ and Lake Shores had been thoroughly ! superseded by the Orange preession. j Alany well known faces were miss mg. All tho brokers belonging to j any of tho regiments which had been called out were absent on duty. fi onsiderable belligerent fooling was manifested in spite of tlie want arms. Umbrellas were defiantly, and a mock procession organized, which as easily routed by a couple of in trepid brokers Jokes wore as plentiful as black berries. “Got your pistol along with you r “Did you see Governor Hod man this morning? ’ “How stands tho battle ?” etc., were the leading ques tions. It was curious to hear tho opinions of tho brokers as they con gregated hero and there : they uttered eursos at Afayor llall, at Police Su perintendent Kelso, at tho Ring, even at Governor Hoffman himself, whom they accused of having acted in con cert with the King, until ho saw tlio evil consequences of the course.
