WHITE SAVAGES IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Pees American Correspondent writes under date
Ptllladelphia. July 19
The ' Hamburg massacre les for a few days wet
caused earnest debates in the House. Hamburg lii
small village in South Carolina, near the Georgia border.
On the 4th of July a negro Militia company, as was
customary throughout the country, made • patriotic
parade in honour of the day through the town. While
they were marching along • street 10011. wide, and in
columns of four, they were met by two young white men
In • vehicle, who Insisted on keeping their course in the
street, without regard to the movements of the Militia
company. They drove against the heed of the column,
which halted, and • parley ensued, resulting in the com-
pany yielding, opening Cher ranks, and allowing the
young men to proceed. On the following day warrants
of arrest were taken out by the ramie men against
the °Moors of the C.311)11.R: who were taken before
a Justice, their trial adjourned until the Bth of
July, at four o'clock in afternoon. Were that
hour arrived, many whit* men from the country
around Hamburg, among them 1101110, it is said, from
Osage, began gathering in the town, armed with
guns and pistols. The Militia company in the meanwhile
assembled at their armoury, and when 4 o'clock came the
defendants did not appear for trial, being frightened at
the display made by the Whiles. The Justice called
them but took no further steps, on account of the menac-
ing appearance at alters. There were MO to MO armed
white men in the town, and they sent • messenger to the
srmoury demanding the surrender of the arms of the
Militia. An hour or two peeped in negotiations about this
demand, the Whites threatening that if the arms were
tarn up in • half-hour fire would be opened onthe
The Negress, who were • portion of the
constituted farces of the the Mete, refused to
MetlP their arms. relaying that the demand was
wholly
illegal, and that they bad reason to fear for their
li-v-ea they gave up their arms. The Whites then opened
• brisk fire upon the buildings, and soon after a white
man was killed by • shot from within the building. A
piece of artillery was then brought (reward, loaded with ,
canister, and several times fired at the huildini. This I
caused consternation among the Negroes, anThey at-
smarm One coloured man was shot by the
teette to
while escaping, and some M others were captured
and kept under guard during the night. About Bin the
morning of the Bth at July (Sunday), after consulate'
among the captors, six of the Negroes were called out and
shot me after another. The remainder of the captives
AVM then either tamed loose or broke away from their
guards and ran at, being fired upon as they ran, and three
of them wounded, one mortally. The Attorney-General
of South Groins& thus describes this maniere :—" Six
men took A. T. Attaway out of the ring. He and his
mythic begged for his life, but in vain. He was told to
turn around, and was shot to death by the crowd. David
Phillips was next taken out, and was similarly killed.
Pompey Curry was next oiled out. He recognised mime
the Wstandwe Henry Getman and Dr. Pierce. Butler
csßed on them to imp the other men from killing him.
He ran, and was shot as be ran, one bullet striking lam
on the leg below the knee. Afterwards Albert Myniart.
Moses Parks, and Hampton Stevens were killed. Stevens
did not belons to the company. The Whites annear to
have then dispersed without doing anything further, and
it was a week before any authentic reports o( the maniere
reached the North. It was first mentioned in Congress
on the lbth of July, during debates upon a Bill for the
protection of the Texan frontier, and it has been debated
at length this week.
