dren, and many friends to mourn his loss.
Mr.. Rawlinson was in bad health for o
long time, and, in his last illness, suffered
greatly; but he bore his Affections with
patience and christian fortitude. He was,
in every respect, an exemplary man-frm
and positive, and reliable in everything he
promised. For the last quarter of CEN
tury lie managed large planting interest
to the entire satisfaction of the parties in
terested. In fact, no had the confidence
of all who knew him. He was kind, gene
rous, obliging aud forbearing, with all his
neighbors; ever ready to give his mite to
the poor and the distressed. Mr.. Rawlin-
son was extensively known, and none
knew him but to love and respect him
for it can, with truth, be said he had no
enemies. His chief aim appeared to be to
do unto others as he would have others to
do unto him. Mr.. Rawlinson was, strictly
speaking, an honest man. His demise is
q severe loss to his family as we'll as the
neighborhood, but it is hoped that their
loss is his eternal gain. @.

Fearful Riot in Georgia.

AUGUSTA, September 21.-A fear
full riot occurred at Camilla, County
site of Mitchell County, Georgia, on
Saturday last. The following par
ticulars are telegraphed from Balm
bridge, twenty-four miles from the
scene of riot:
Pierce, the radical nominee for
Congress, and Murphy, an ex-Bureau
agent, with about 200 negroes, armed
and equipped, started for Camilla, on
Friday, with three weeks provision
and boxes of new arms and accoutre-
ments; their intention being to over
awe the citizens and kill the leading
Democrats of the town and vicinity.
Before starting, friendly negro ex-
posed their plans, and despatched n
negro courier to Camilla to inform
the citizens what was going on. A
deputation of three prominent citi-
zens met the mob at China Church,
five miles from town, and read the
Governors proclamation, disarming
and forbidding armed organizations,
for their benefit. The mob paid no
attention, but determined to march
on the town and kill whom they
chose. Twice more the deputation
demonstrated, entreating the negroes
to come in without arms and they
should not be molested. Their
efforts, however, were fruitless, and
the mob marched into town with
banners flying and drums beating
numbering nearly 400, a grent many
having joined on the route. The
mob halted and clamored for the
blood of man named Johns. Johns,
in company with DR.. Twitty, pre-
sented himself, when hundred guns
were leveled at them. The former,
being intoxicated, fred, and the riot
commemorative mob firing at every
one they could see. The citizens,
white and black, rallied, gathering
about fifty stand of arms. The mob
was vigorously attacked and driven
back, beating o hasty retreat, which
spread into panic. The negroes
we're pursued five miles, losing thirty
live killed and many wounded. The
total loss, as far as ascertained, being
from seventy-fve to 100 in killed and
wounded. Owing to the. panic
lamong the mob, only five whites

Disturbance on James Island-The
Existence of Armed Bands Proved
beyond Perldvcnture.

Disturbance on James Island-The
Existence of Armed Bands Proved
beyond Perldvcnturc.
On last Saturday, number of
armed negroes appeared on the plan
tation of Mr.. Charles II. Wilson, on
Wadmalaw Island, and demanded of
Mr.. E. P. Leman, who resided on
the place, one Sampson Brown, his
foreman. 1t appears that Brown lad
maltreated woman with whom he
was living, and she had complained
to the League, who had authorized
the arrest of Brown by the band of
negroes who appeared on Mr.. Will
sons place. The men were all armed
and succeeded in accomplishing the
arrest of Brown, despite the remon-
strences of Mr.. Leman. Brown was
brought to this city on Saturday, and
lodged in jail, on q warrant Obtained
from Magistrate Whiting---Maria
Brown making an affidavit of the
assault. On Monday morning, Mr..
Leman made q statement of these
facts to Magistrate Whiting, who
caused the arrest of twenty colored
men who were concerned in the riot.
They were tried yesterday morning,
before Judge Pringle, Messrs.
Whaley, Mitchell and Clancy appear
ing for Mr.. Wilson, and @. G. Bowen
for the prisoners. After hearing the
affidayits, it was ordered that the
prosecution be continued, and the
defendants be admitted to bail in the
sum of $1O0 each. This they were
unable to do, and were committed to
jail to await their trial at the next term
of the county court, for riot and un-
lawful armed organization and false
Imprisonment.
The subjoined af1idavits of Benia-
min Capers (colored) and Mr.. e. P.
Leman, will show the existence of
organized armed bodies of men in
the State, who claim to receive their
authority for the same from Gov.
Scott and one Sam. johnson, O color
ed member of the Legislature. They
defy the laws, and act only through
the directions of the League, and
hold courts for the trial of all offend
ers. The affidavits will fully explain
the state of affairs now existing under
negro rule:
AFFIDAVIT OF BENJAMIN CApERs
(coIoRED. )-Benjamin Carpers de-
posed: That General Scott had last
year issued an order, and according
to that order they had kept commit
tees on every place. Twas President
of the Union League. Whenever O
case was brought before the commit
tees on each place and tried, whoever
wonld not submit to their authority,
was brought to me. Samuel John
son, a member of the Legislature,
told US to form seven companies, of
100 men each, and to drill as often as
it suited them. When a company
was to be placed on duty, they would
be ordered out, and the Government
would pay then how much was not
stated; the Government would also
furnish arms to be used for home
protection; the arms the company
now have we're purchased by the
company, each man purchasing his
own gun. The company to which
