Rul : ing the State of Georgia according to the con . stitutiou thereof, he fears not his accusers, ft other parties in power confined themselves fi Fully to their legitimate sphere, they would not be quite so eag-r to crush out free speech, ldi tussion and free press.

At Pensacola they sent the negro men inti, the armv and told the v.ro meh, who where encamped on the beach, that the mm yvere sent to Vermont to provide homes for them.

All stock In.-gs, j horses, cattle and mutes, were either taken oli or killed. A great deal of stock was killed ; and left on the ground—the purpose of the enemy evidently being to reduce the people to starvation. All carriages, wagons, buggies, in short, all means Os transportation wore ,1,-s troyed. Corn, fodder, and provisions ~l' every kind were taken. Every gin bouse was burned and tire arms ol every description des troyed.. Covers, blankets, pillows, Ac., were torn up or burnt. In some cases, muttrasses, pillows and bolsters were cut, open and their contents scattered to the winds. The enemy carried off a large number of able bodied negroes, many of whom, however, have returned to tbeir masters. All good look ing colored girls were carried off by the ot'si ! err.?. 111 one instance a girl, nearly white, was taken, and when her husband, a slave, a* tempted to follow and reclaim her, he was | ruthlessly killed. She was free and under th n 1 control Mr. .1. li. Joins, the hotel .keeper at | Gordon. ; “in some instances Churches and M.a onic Lodges were burnt.

Mr. David'Sulomon, an old and respectable citizen, was twice rating up. in his own house, to make him reveal where his money was hid. He at last informed them. They'carried oil some live thousand dollars in specie, irrnl burnt a large amount of ' on ; federate money. His loss was heavier than I anv other citizen of the place. ' They also robbed the estate of J. H I‘oiuijj ! tain of MOliO in specie, besides a large amount oi Confederate currency. . Mr. Baker's house, two miles from (.ns woidville was ' occupied by the enemy as a hospital. Their wounded were . pmrtered there, and Mrs. Baker turned out ot doors. When the Yankees left they burned the house, giv in" a-a reason torso doing, that it yvas de ! sorted. The entire people through Hie section pa« ,<1 over by the enemy suffered alike. They destroyed everything they laid bauds on. Gen. Howard said to 1 tie people that lie was sorry to destroy their property, hut that he thou "It t it the best thing he could do. That ou>- leaders had to l>e convinced that thov must ,-nc cumb,and the surest way to compel their retmh to the Fnioit was toireite such distress .unou ;, rh<t people, as would cause them to demand re construction.
