sal THE MASSACRE. =
In all great public calamities the very
criminals try to accuse their victims, and
charge them with the very atrocities they
themselves committed. We care little for
the hypocrisy ard unfaithfulness of the rebel
press Of the city. These journals will not
blind anybody. The rebels know that they
concocted these massacres, and the Union
men know that they have been attacked and
slaughtered in cold blood.
The Bee made strange mistake, which
shows how much We may rely on such pa
pers. That paper stated that Mr.. Adolph
Bardarin was wounded, which was true
Then the Bee adduced that he had been set
on and beaten by black men. Now it turns
out by the very declaration OF the Barbafin
family (white) that none of the white persons
of that name were wounded. But the party
alluded to, Mr.. Adolph Barbarin, is colored
man that has been wounded by police Off
GERS. How is it that the Bee, believing him
to be white man, stated that the blacks had
set on him 1t was evidently mistatement,
an invention, a lie, purposely made for effect.
From that particular our readers may infer
the untruthfulness of rebel reports.
On Sunday evening the police received
their revolvers They were, it Is said. new
pistols, in perfect order. A part of the force,
and perhaps all, received two revolvers each,
for when they came charging along Baronne
street they had revolvers in both hands.
Orders were given to the night Waterman
to 90 to rest on Sunday at twelve o'clock,
and to be on hand on Monday at 6 o'clock
A. NJ. They were to form small squads and
remain in readiness at distant parts of the
city. .,.
At noon the various bells of the city struck
one stroke, which was a precOncerted signal
to mass and to attack. part at least of this
plan is made to appear very clearly by the
following extract from the French part of the
Bee of August "All the squads had been
posted in the vicinity of the oIjectire point
where they marched on as fast as needed.
The term objective point "'is pretty clear
1t refers to an offensive action.
An appeal was also made by the Mayor
through public proclamation to the citi
zens, for what was called especial consta.
bles." Several hundred Confederates respon.
ded to that call, and were only disbanded in
the evening, when General KautZ had taken
charge of the government of the city. Most
of these men joined in the fray. They were
as determined set of rebels rs ever met to.
gether in New Orleans
The preparations of the Mayor were com.
pleted by ordering the day watchmen to
keep in readiness, not at their respective sta
| tions, but at the First and the Second sta
| tons only. The noon bell was the signal fol
| the night watchrnen to concentrate. The
twelve bells that they were to strike at any
time during the fray was the signal for the
charge of the reserve police. This charge was
desperate and tremendous. They knocked
down or shot ON the way the black men they
met on the street. Wewill. another time, give
afew sketches of the horrid scenes perpetrated
ON Dryades, Common, and Baronne streets
Men who surrendered themselves were
shot dead s. S. Fish, a member of the bal

but in very critical condition.
| On Baronne street number of horrible
murders were committed. Several blacl
men were shot when taken into custody b,
the police officers. A black man who raj
through the street was killed by bulle
| from behind; and so were a number of 9th
ers. A colored man who escaped through
window was riddled with bullets, and thel
horribly beaten. One who had taken refug
under pile of lumber WIS shot at through
the boards till he was kill ed. A black MAJ
who had probably escaped from the mail
building through the adjoining yards wa
shot dead by a policeman; after awhile
| white woman came and threw stone on tn
head of the dead man.

also murdered in cold blood, but they wer
black boys. Two of them were dragged on
of street car by two police officers, ant
shot Two colored men, who were in tn
same car, were also murdered by these police
men Eye witnesses to these facts will pre-

vestigation, if not murdered before
We have still numerous facts to recount
The particulars will be made public in time
/ The atrocities committed on that occasion
will never be known in full; but we hop
that the military commission will be able t

horrors. Humanity must be vindicated, o
