THE CASE OF SENATOR T0oMBs There have
been variety of rumors about the arrest of Col
Robert Toombs, (now of the Georgia State troops
for unreasonable expressions" sc. Nothing Of
the sort has occurred. The offence for which Col.
Toombs was arrested, and is now uade, going trial
by Court Martial In Savannah, Is thus given by the
Repablican, Of that city:
Gen. Tonmbs was at Augusta, with a regiment
OF State troops recently mustered into the C0nfed
commanded His command was about to take the
ears for Savannah on one Of the cold days Of lhe
late severe spell. They were 10 travel in box cars,
and the soldiers, after laying place on the floor of
the with brick and sand, built fires thereon tor
the purpose OF keeping themselves warm on tie
journey. The agent of the road, Mr.. Selkirk, see
Ing this, demonstrated with the aen, told them il
was prohibited by the rules Of the company, and
that when the train got in motion the fire would
blow about and the train be destroyed. He fur
theimOre is said to have stated that the train
should no leave the depot until the fires were ex-
uaguished. Gen. TOOmbs coming up in the midst
OF the altercatiOh between the agent and his men,
declared that the fires should not be extingaished,
that the train should leave In spite Of the agent,
and after cLrsing and using much bitter language
towards the latter had him arrested and kept In
custody by a guard. He also threatened to have
the agent cnL to pieces and thrown ini0 the engine
Tor fuel together with 0ter d.reful caiamities to
his corpareal man. Whether the fires were put
out or not we did not learn, but the agent, being
outnumbered, offered no further resistance, aud
the traIa with the troops left for Savannah. The
agent reported The case 10 the railroad company,
and on their complaint 10 the military authorities
Gen. To ,mbs was arrested and carried before q
Court Martial.
