Muudeh at Dootobtowx— We learn that on
Sunday night last an old ciliaen of Doctoriown,
Henry Grautbam. was fatally shot by one ol
Company K, 103 d¥. S. f). stationed at
Doctortown. The bell entered the heart and
the victim died immediately. Four of tbeool
ored soldiers are implicated in the commiiaion
of this bloody deed. After the old man wsa
killed, bis wife came out on the porch to give
her assistance in getting her husband in the
house. Tl.e soi dicta immediately ruadeau at
tuck on her, it is reported, brmally cut'ing and
bayoneting l>er. The rigid side of the face,
head, neck, etc., were fearfully mutilated. The
sufferer lies in a critical condiilon. The offend,
era are all under arrest and are to be tried by
a military commission. Blood was fouad on
the clothes of the prisoners. Grantham’s chil
dren were all absent from home.
Grantham .and his family were much re
spected in Wayne county. Mr. Grantham's
oldest daughter was also in the fray and re
ceived quite severe injuries, a severe wound in
the head, u finger nearly taken off and other
* injuries. After Mrs. Grantham became insen
sible she was dragged through the hall of the
nou&e, and thrown under a bed Jn an ante
room, whence, after regaining her mums, she
made her escape from the house into a field
near by Mrs McCoJum, who also* escaped from
the house and gave the alarm. Borne of their
neighbors bearing the cries for assistance, ren
dered it promptly. Mr. Grantbem’e residence
is about three miles below Doctortown, on the

Bill Arp Addresses hi* Constituents
Resprktabul people ;T address you on tbi.
okkaeh'in with a profound admiration for the
great consideration and the nice discrimination
which caused you to honor me by your vote*
with a sen tin the Sin ate of Georgy. Fo twe
and inspirit we ks, the Legislature
bav been in soiem session, one of whom I am
proud to be which. For several days we were
engaged as skouts, makla a sorter of rekony
sance to see whether Georgy were a State or a
login terrytory, whether we were in- the old i
Ur -ion or out of it, wh uher uie and ny folkes j
and you and your folkes were somebody or no
body, and lastly, but by no means leastly, ;
whether our poor innocent children, born du- j
rin the war, were ail illegal and bad to be bora j
ovir agin or not. Tnis last pint are much un
settled, but our women are advised to be kalm
and Bergen.
My friends our aim hav honestly been to
git you all back into the folds of the glorious
Un-ion. Like the prodigal son we had nothin
to live on, and feelin lonesome and hungry, hav
bowin andscrapin and makin apologys for five
or six months, we have been seen standing
afur off for weeks, and weeks, but durn the
caf do they kill far os. They know we’ve
got nothin, for they eat up our substance, and
as for puitin rings on our fingers we couldn’t
expect 1. until they bring back the jewelry they
carried away, I cannot say in the language oi
the poet, that our iabof lias been a labor of
love, for we've had monstrous poor encourage
ment to be shore; but we had all set out
heads towards the stars and stripes aud we
jintly determined that come wool come wo
sink or swim, survive or perish, thunder or
lltenin, we’d siip back or sne'k back, or gii
back somehow or somehow else, or we’d stay
out forever and ever, amen and be banged tc
etr, so called, I golly.
Up to this time it has been an up-hill busi
ness. The team was a good one and the gent
all sound, and the wsgin greased, but the road
are perhaps the ruffest, rottiuest cordroy in th'
world Its pull up and skoteh, and pull up and
skotch, and ever and annonyemus the ekotch
slips out and the tung cuts round and away
we go into the gully. Andy Jonsin is the dri*
ver, and he says “go slow’’ and ho holler?
"wo, wo,” and loses the road and then we have
to go back to tbe fork and wait til! he blaxse
the way. Ha seems to be doin his best, bui
iheD, thar is Sumner and Satin and Steven?
and Davis and other like gentlemen, who
keep hollerin at him and crackin his whip, and
eenfusin his idtas so that sometimes we doth
know whether bo’s gee iu or haw in.
My friends ab ut them fellers I dont know
what I ort to say. If you do, or if anybody
does, I wish they would say it. I dont encur
age cusßin in nobody, not at all, but if you
know of a man that cant bo broke of it durin
his Dateral life, it moot be well to hire him by
tho year. If therisin all history a good ex
kuse and a proper sill jict, it is upon them harr
less, soulless, bowelless, gizzurdless, fratrisidal.
suisidal, parasidal, sistercidal, abominabul, can
temptihui, disgustabul individuals. I some
times think of em till my brain gits sorter ad
dled, and I f'er-.l lik becomin a volunteer convict
of the Lunatic Asylorum. Charity inclines me
to the opinyun that old Sumner are erszy. I
think he has been gitiin worse ever since he
‘ook Brooks on the brain, and it do seem Hk<
ibe disease has proved contagus. If they are
for Peace it must be tho Peace that passelh all
nnderstandin for we cant fathom it in their
regions. The fought us to free the poor nigger
but didnt keer for the Union. Tho 'Western
boys fout for tbe Union but didnt keer for the
nigger. By double teamin on us they licked u*
and wo gin it up, but now the ons dont want
our niggers and the other dont want our Union
and its the hardest skedule to pleas em both a
poor vanished peopul ever undertook. Its tbe
most hardest war to wind up that history re
kords. Sumner Satin and Company, are sril
a fussin and ftiroin about the everlastiu nigger—
want him to vote and make laws and squat on
a jury, and wants lo prohibit ns rebels from
doin the same thing for 3 years to cornel—
Jeerusalem ! where is thecussin man. They say
its all right for a nigger not to vote in Connet
ieut, bekauso there aint but a few of em than;
and its all wroeg for em not to vote in Georgy
bekaus theres a heap of era here, and they talk
Loglk and Retorik amasiu to gess bow it iv.—
Well I haint got a whole passel of sense like
sum, but as shore as I ?m too high a nig
ger is a nigger I dont keer whar you smel
him, aud a vote is a vole I dont keer whar
youdrapit. I golly they cant get over that.
Tha truth is, my fallow.citiaens, I some
times feel like we didn’t have no government
I felt that way so-tejr when Mr. Gibson ap
pinted me » committee on the State of the Re
public. When the Sekretary read out my
name all mixed up with the Republik, I felt
that I was obleged to renig. Risin majestikul
ly to tny feet, says I: “Mr President, I beg to
be reepeckfully exkused stir, if you please. P
thar is any Republic on this aide of Jordin 1
cant perseve it at this time with these spelts
Thar was a place in Old Virglimy called Port
Republik, but Mr. Rebel General Stonewall
Jackson wiped out its conieuts generally in
1863 and I havent since beard of itin Northern
Literature. I have heard of a skrub ccnsarn
over about Washington they call a Republic,
bnt sur, it are likely to prove the grandest im
oosture that ever existed on a continent of
freedom.
“I suppose snr it are tc be moved to Boston
or ifca infer al reruns in a few days, and 1
want nuiliin to do with it. Exkus< me ?ur,
but I must insist on being respekt&bly dis
ch*rged." I took my seat amidst the raos’
orofoundest and tumultuous silence ever seed,
and Mr. Gibson remarked that ewotldn’t
impose the Rcpublik on no respektable man
agin his wishes, fie then transferred me to
iheFinants Committee, and 8?d he hoped we
would take immediate action, for the ?tat*fiad

not hare been his exactunl langwidg

ProTis : on government for if it nint to git up
provisions and provide for a feller generally.
I mad? up my mind that, perhaps we had been
humorin Andy about long enuff. we had as
much right to a Governor us Alabama or South
Oallina. He wants us back about as bad as
we want to git tack, and a little badder per
haps, and he needent pot on so many unne«*es
sary airs about the Senator bisness. If he fools
with us much, wo wont elect nobody—l golly
we’ll take the studs and go backwards. I
forthwith returned to the Capitol and stretching
forth one of my arms ses I “Mr. Gibson sur—
I’m your friend —T’m the friend of your wife
and children but if Mr. Jenkins nint LOrgarated
soon the State will collapse. A bright and glo
rious alar will be obliterated from off the striped
rag, and the President will lose about nine sup
porters in the Federal Congress. I move sur
that if we cant git our Governor at once like a
aine qua non, we break up in a row and depart
for Mexico. It took like the small-pox and
were carryed tumu'tonsly. Those proceed ins

that wer a proud and glorious day, when th.it

the member from Polk remarked that he would
like to die then for he never expected to feel as
heavenly agin. The tears ran down his left
eve like rain. His other eye was beat out by s
vankce soldier while the Cappen was In prison.
Os course the villen was tried for It and huDg.
though I baint seed no mention of it in the pa

My fellow people let me in conclusion con
gratulate you on fiavin a Govenor cnee more,
as is a Govenor. Oh there is life in the old
land yet and by and by wo’ll transport them
black republicans into the African desert,
and put ’em to teachio Hottentots the right ol
suffrage. Winter Davis could then find a field
of labor sufficient for the miserable remnant of
his declinin years. He is the Winter of our
discontent; and we want to git rid of him He
and his clan hare done us much evil..and I am

about Alexander the Coppersmith, “May the

Tbs Louimaha Sugar Chop —The Mew Or
leans corn apondent of the Richmond Tiraea,
referring.to the sugar crop, says ;
“The sugftr cane this year, what little of it
was planted, turhs out remarkably well. If
yields very nearly a hogshead to the arpent,
which is a Rule less th: n an acre—snd at
prasent prices the culture iB profitable. But
there is no assurance of the labor to make a
crop naxt year, and the crop Df Louisiana —
once a half million of hogsheads—has dwin
dled down this year to perhaps ten thousand.
When tenoral Banka came here he told the
planters that, under the free labor system, their
crops would be trebled. The figures show that

And illustrate Thy g ory here,
’Till we shall all in heaven appear.
To Thee onr thanks ar due,
For Thy pre»e> ving power,

‘‘The steamers have away of signing bills of
lading fer goods, and then put them on any
boat they choose, or leave them out if their
1 own boats are full. This is all wrong, and we j
should be glad V some of your merchants would
make them p#v damgges. It is a matter that,
we cannot control here, as we send the goods
for a particular steamer, and take bill of lading
for same, and have no reason to suppose they
I do not go in that boat, until we are apprised of

Circumstantial Evidence !—A Singular
Train of Events and their Result.
i Circumstantial evid enee has convicted mo e
| than half the criminals who are now justly suf
luring tho penalties of the law. -
A more remarkablo case of tracing out the
criminal lty circumstances than that which led
to the arrest o,f young Sullivan* the post office
robber, whose capture was announced in the
Free Press of yesterday morning, we have
never met with It seems almost providential,
hut yet there was nothing out .of the usual
course of events; ouly the several links in the
chain were exposed to view, connected palpa
bly with each other, and leading straight from
j the crime to the criminal,
Ou the sth or 6th ot July last, an old French- !
j man, while walking along the beach of Lake [
Eric, near the mouth of t'-e Riistn river, pick
ed up a little package which had been wash
jed ashore by the waves. He opened it, and J
’ found it to contain documents of whose na- i
; ture he was wholly ignorant, being unable!
Ito read a word of 'Eaghe.b. He dried it
| carefully and took it home, nis wife and
! children were equally unable as himself to
| divine the cor tents. He then became pot
! ses'e l of the idea that the package contained
documents of great value, perhaps deeds of
bouses and lauds, which would maka him at
onco a millionaire. Being somewhat super
slitious. he beliveed that, he was providentially
led to the dlscovc-iy of this mysterious treasure
and that, he must keep it a secret until Provi
dence should disclose to him how lie was to
come into full possession cf h}s yiches Fop a
h ng time he kept the package concealed n his
house, but finally becoming tired of walling for
mysterious d : sclosures, he took it to an attorney
at. M>nroe, having first enjoined secrciy. Thp
r torney discovered at once that the supposed
package of d-tots aud mortgages was nothing,
but a package of letters that had been thrown
into the lake by some person who probably
wished to destroy them. A further examina
tion disclosed to him that it whs awegular p >st
office package sent from New York to
and containing only registered letters, all of
which had been opened and deprived of their
| contents, except one S6O check which tbe thii f
i evidently dared not take, lest it mignt had 1Q
his detection. Satisfying the covetous finder
that the contents of the package were not what
he supposed them, but old letters of no value
to him, the lawver brought it at once to the
I Detroit post office.
This waa'the first and not least mysterious
j link in the chain of evidence which finally
■ bound the guilty man tight. Then commenced
i the groping for other links It was taken for
i granted that the package was thrown overboard
j from some passing steamer. A3 the regular
| lake steamers do not paas in that vicinity, it
; must have been saexcursion steamer. was
I found on the sth or 6th of July ; evidently,
' then, the person who threw it into lake must
j have been a passenger on a Fourth of July ex
cursion. TTiis settled,»the n»xt poiat was to
! find ot*t which of the post office e’erks partici
! nated in the excursh n down the lake. By re
j ference to the list of passengers, it was dis-
I -'orered that only two of them were on board.
Here was the whole thing narrowed down al- :
most to a point. But which of the two men
was thecriminal? The most d fficnlt part of
the whole case was reached Which should be
arrested and on what evidence he be con
victed? The two men were narrowly watched,
until finally suspicion was aroused against S il
livau. He was arrested, with what result is
already known. The contents of the rifled
letters were found in his possession to the
amount of nearly $2 500. Other valuables
wereaho found. One gold watch, which was
mailed at New York, to a gentleman in Mil
waukie, and could be traced to the Detroit
post cKce, hut no further, was found in the
same trunk. A quantity of gold pens which
had been deposited here, found their destination
in tbe same trunk. He had ca fried on a sys- j
tematic course of thieving for a long time, and :
with singular economy had carefully preserved ;
his treasures to answer as Witness against him.
So conclusive was the evidence that he made a
clean breast of tbe whole thing, pleaded guilty j
ou his examination, end was remanded for sen- i
tenee. Under the law the lightest sentence
which can be passed upon him is ten years in ;
the State prison.
Changing thb National Motto —ln the
palmy days of the Republic th* motto upon
uur coin was expressive of the nature of our
government —“ E Pluribus Unum’’, (one from
maty)—hut we learh that, a higher law inno- '
ration is contemplated, and that the Director
o th-' Mint ha* forwarded to the Serr-tary of
the Treasury, for his approval, specimens
new coin, bearing the motto, “ In God we >
l'rust. ’ Considering thp character of those,
who control the government at this time, this ;
is not only hrpocrily, but sacrilege. The
New York Times says :
“Itieminds one unpleasantly of the ‘ Dei- i
gratia’ of the divine-right schools cf Europe. I
Let us try to carry onr religion—such as it is
—in our hearts, and not, so our pockets..”
[Newark (Now Jersey) Journal. |
Early this month at Jefferson, Texas, the
