THE REIGN OF TERROR Is GEORGIA-The steamer
Alabama which arrived here on Tuesday from 81
vannah brought about 81 cabin passengers half of
whom were banished from that city because Of their
Northern birth. One Of these persons, John Devinney
has called upon us and from him we gather some facts
in relation to this new phase of the Reign of Terror
Mr.. Deyinney was in the employ of Harden & Co.,
Expressmen, III Savannah, and received on Saturday
morning, notice that he must leave the city imme
diaely. notice was served, at the same time, upon
Mr. COe, an employee in the same office, that he also
must leave. Expectations were useless the assur-
ances of both that they had in no way nterfered
with Southern institutions and had intention of
doing So were not listened to for moment, and they
were threatened with immediate death unless they de-
parted at once. As no alternative therefore, left
them but either face death leave they left in the
afternoon Of the same day. Their only fault
was that they were Northern men, Devinney
being native Of Philadelphia, and COe Of of the
Eastern States. The man who was most instrumental
in their Punishment was one James White master of
transportation on the Georgia Central Railroad. This
White il himself Northern man, but, having lived for
some wears in Georgia and become stakeholder, he
il 90 far trusted to be permitted 10 prove his faith
fulness by such vlanous services these. Three of
the passengers on board the Alabama, were gentle
man, his wife, and daughter, who have resided in
Augusta for several years. This gentleman il physi
can and the hue and cry raised against him by
of whom he endeavored to collect debt This method
Of settling pecniary claims is favOrite one in Au-
gusta az our readers will remember. This gentleman
barely escaped with his life, and neither he nor his
family were permitted TO bring away anything but the
clothes on their backs Another Of the passengers
from Lexington Georgia, but all except these four,
Were from Savannah and all were banished, without
any other reason given than that Of Northern birth.

seemed enanced with the strange warblng notes aud

the cRrtan and even the musicians crept silently into
the orchestra. With the most intricate variations the
whistler finished the air, when storm of applause
broke from the audience which almost shook the house
