I'm HILL.
Being sick in bed / cent for friend, who came -
once and took the note 10 the Mayor. lie caiicd -
once and said every effort should be made to stop No
thing. Suffice il TO say, the authorities did all IN near
power to suppress the excitement, but all to no onsc
At 81 p. attacked by three rfans in front ~
the Planters Hotel who used every exertion 70 PCT
me into carriage and take me to Hamburg, s G.,
where my fate would have been sealed. They could
not succeed, and began TO drag me along the walk,
when my wife and daughter heard the noise and csne
to my rescue They caught me on either aide, nd
begged them to release me, which, after usng many
oaths they did saying, Madam, you being wotnsns
We will give up" She thanked them We then re-
turned to our ROOM where friends came to our ~
lief in great numbers From this time the exctensue
the house; speeches made by the most innueatAk
men Of the city, and every effort used TO disperss the
mob; but all to no effect. They seemed like 50 many
hurgIy wolves

the mob and defend us which then amounted 10 con-
500 and more. carriage was brought to the reaf az
the house the back street. TO which we werc coo-
Quoted and driven RAPIDLY away, leaving our bagBsSS
behind. We were accompanied by some OF the m0ss
responsible Of the city who took us III miles o

We waited till O'Clock, when We got on the cars ior
Savannah, where arrived at ~ a. m. we wsse
directly to the steamer Alabama and took our rooDs

In regard to the cause of my expulsion l nave -
doubts that two Northern men, both from massaons-
sets, were the instigators Of the trouble. Ons q
them took aolemn oath that if made him pay h1
bill he would ruin me- 30 that c>uld not live In As-
gusta. His bill was settled by third party who gav1
me $50 more than bad offered to take. The o<ner
also incensed at bill for medlcai attendAnoef
though less than the law allowed me to charge, md
has since done all IN bis power TO inure me by cics-
latne various reports without the least foundasoa-
His name was given in Court an evidence 10 aP-
Such are the characters Of many Northern men WIS
90 South and the North are judged by them.
Let me here gay that these Vigilance COMMITTEES
and mobs are composed Of the mort low, drunksns
irresponsible class of the community and tho instn-
tors are often Northern men. That no Diane may .
attached TO the respectable and responsible portion q
the citizens | will say that they extended the hand q
sympathy and friendship, and volunteered their SER
vices and lives to defend me from an iniuriated me-
They have my sympathies, and ever shall nave NO
bier hearts never beat than those Of the true whole
soulec Southerner. Would TO God there were more
like them omit calling any Names for, by 10 doing
might involve some of my friends IN trouble.
Since my arrival North am informed that my oe&r-
gaze has been forwarded to me, by express, and ~
come safely to hand 4. K. PHAYER, NJ y.
