ferred to him by me, directed to any lawful constable, & and sent them to me, saying he could get no one to serve them. I therefore turned them over to the Sheriff who returned them to Chipley, with whom they still rest. 
Geo. Mallows, Freedman, living on Mr. Chipley's place, having complained to me that Irving Hutcherson, white, tho latter's nephew, had, while displaying a pistol taken him to task for being a Republican. I referred the case to Chipley, who it appears, would not event open my communication. On the 29th July, Mathews was shot by Hutcherson, while at work in his employer's field, for making the complaint, the ball being still embedded under his left arm. Chipley, hearing the report, on going out, found Hutcherson on the spot, but let him walk off. 
The next day, on complaint being made to me, I had the requisite warrant issued here and placed in the hands of the Sheriff to be executed. Three days after, the officer sent out a Deputy, who returned and reported that Hutcherson had left, and although he was at the time in the neighborhood, where he continues to be seed, and still threatens to kill the freedmen, and notwithstanding I have even threatened to indict the Sheriff, nothing whatever has since been done. 
The freedmen in the vicinity have several times expressed a desire to capture him themselves but I have dissuaded them in order to prevent the collision which would result; but just here is where tehy are placed at the worst disadvantage, for had the white man been injured by the black, and had the latter even really fled, he would have been hunted down like a wild beast, until caught, when it is hard to say what else would not have followed. 
In addition to this case there are severals others of almost as grave a character which stand precisely the same, the Sheriff for over a month having had the proper warrants in his pocket without doing a thing. All of these cases have been previously reported. In a great many instances where warrants have been written out by the several magistrates, for assaults, &c, on the plea of their not having any Constables, they are never executed, and it is often the case that the magistrates themselves, by their persistent persuasions, absolutely constrain the freedmen to withdraw their complaints altogether - this a common every day occurrence, even where murder was contemplated; for instance. 
On the night of the 25th, Alfred Ellis, colored, was, without any cause, shot at by Lee Russell, the Town Marshal, on the street, with an express desire to kill him, and still on complaint being by direction made to Squire McCord, of this place, he got the parties "to make up the difficulty." Query, here again - what would have been the consequence had the parties to this affair been reversed?

Washington, September 28 - The Alabama legislative delegation are with the President. 
The prosecution against Surratt will probably be continued.
Semi-official gossip, regarding Mr Davis' trial says Mr Evarts will take no active part - he having originally suggested Dun as the proper person to lead the prosecution, and Gov. Wells, of Virginia, continues to take an active interest, in the prosecution, as a lawyer. The impression prevails in official quarters, that there will be no trial.
Internal revenue receipts today, $500,000
The New York Herald says, editorially: The Governor of Alabama is certainly not dar wrong in his notion that more national troops are necessary in that State. The presence of 50,000 soldiers in Alabama would not effective in keeping the peace, as the Camilla fight will prove. Now, that the whole history of that event is seen, if is undeniably clear that the niggers provoked the disturbance. They marched with their radical leaders, with music and arms, into a quiet town, comporting themselves in an offensiv manner, and making a bullying expedition, the menace of their conduct was not as if it were real. Niggers will see, by this example that it is not yet safe to bully white men, and that will prevent collisions.

[[Header]] OBITUARY [[\Header]]
DIED at his residence in this District, on Friday last, the 25th uit, from Jaundice, after an illness of two months, Mr ALEXANDER STEVENSON, in the 65th year of his age. 
The deceased was one of our best citizens and was universally esteemed and respected fort he integrity of his character, the kindness of his heart, and the blamelessness of his life. For more than thirty-six years he had been a member of the Baptist Church, and had adorned his profession by a "holy walk and conversation" When the summons came, he was ready. Death had no terrors for him, but in confidence and Christina resignation, he breathed life, and dies in full assurance of a blessed immortality. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow then." He leaves a widow and three children to mourn his loss. 
DIED on the 20th inst, at the residence of George Jones, Laurens District, ALICE, daughter of John and Lizzie, M. GRAY, aged one year and nine months. 
Bright, lovely one, we lay thee here -thy soul ere now is dwelling.
Where cherubim and seraphim their rapturous joys are telling;
Dust, beautiful and sanctifies,
Sweet flower so early perished,
Thus, thus we lay thee in the grave, thy memory shall be cherished.
