7" Working Up" the Ashburn Case
in Georgia
DETECTIVES FROM WASHINGTON SENT FOR
THE MILITARY GIVE THEM CARTE BLANCHE
-TORrURING WITNESSES THE "swEAr
BOX" PROCESS.

Referring to the Ashburrl murder case
the National Intelligencer, of June 29th,
soys:
Two infamous detectives" of the Baker.
Stanton sort, were summoned. coming, it is
said, from this city. and went down to
Georgia. They were told TINT they could
earn forty thousand dollars if they succeed
ed, and then the military gave them carte
blanche to arrest any citizen of Georgia,
and full power over the unfortunate ne
groes, to brlbe. threaten, starve, imprison
and torture those wretched, creatures, who
swore in the presence of Almighty God
that they knew nothing about the matter,
until they should, to save themselves from
further suffering, consent to tell whatever
stories foul monsters put in their mouths.
That they have done these things can be
proved by the testimony Of the released
negroes who have been subjected to these
internal cruelties. We have published the
affidavits Of some of those, but they leave
much to be stated.
1Amongithe methods Of tortire:cmployed
by those wretches upon the negroes, to
make them swear away human lives, was
the instrument known as the s'sweat box"
This, we understand, to be box Of wood
inside of which the victim is made to stand
The wooden sides of this box, by means of
screw, are compressed closer and closer
until the individual can scarcely breathe;
then stream of hot air or steam is thrown
upon the victim; he is almost stifed;
pressure put upon his heart aud lungs, un-
til the agony of his position is such that
nature sinks under the infection, and the
poor creature cries out that he is ready to
testify to anything desired. We assert
that our information is positive and relia-
BILE, that these internal cruelties have been
'prac.iced by the Federal military in Geor-
gia upon black men, in order to make them
swear away &the lives of innocent white
men and respectable citizens before mill
tary commission, "organized to convict"
and with murder in their hearts.
One of these poor negroes thus tortured
was kept there SO long that his knee actual
" burst open by the pressure of blood.

sGP The Rev. Lambert Young, Catho-
lie Priest was imprisoned in Louisville
some weeks ago by order of q. S. Judge,
because he would not reveal certain know
ledge which he obtained in his, priestIy
character. Some years ago Father Young
suffered from erysipelas, and his confine-
ment in prison brought on return of the
disease. We observe that he has been re-
leased on bail until he RECEIVERS from his
present attack, when he will have to go
back to prison. Father Young cannot dis
close the information demanded of him
without violating his priestly obligation,
which he earnestly declines to do. The
treatment is the meanest kind of persecu-
ton.

TEXAS TONIC SYRUP.
A Vegetable Compound for the Ra-
pid and Permanent Cure of
CHILLSAND FEVER, or FEVER
AND AGUE!
Every Poison has its AntidOte! Ev-
cry Disease has Its Cure!

The people of the Mississippi
Valley have long felt the necessity
for, and want of, a Safe, Certain
and Reliable Remedy, as substi-
tute for Quinine, Strychnine, and
other poisonous Drugs, for the cure
of Fever and Ague, or Chills and
Fever. We claim, and the result
will show, aud bear testimony to-
every unprejudiced mind, that the
Texas Tonic Syrup has supplied
this want and accomplished this
purpose. It's Tonic, Alternative and
Antiseptic qualities are such that
none can possibly be disappointed
in its effects. Upon its own merits,
therefore, it is sustained. A single
trial is all that is needed to stamp
this remedy as the greatest specific
Of the age.
The ingrediments of which this
Medicine is composed are simple
productions of nature Astounding
upon certain streams in the State
OF Texas, and were ever used by. the
AbOrigines of that State as S6e-
cific for Fevers of all kinds, and es.
pecially Fever and Ague, which
they never failed to cure.
A accelerated Physician, acquaint-
ed with these facts, has furnished
us his theory upon this important
subject, and hence the Product
properly named TEXAS TONIC
SYRUP, which we now offer to the
public as specific and positive
cure for Fever and Ague, or Chills
and Fever, no matter of how long
standing.
Having had indubitable evidence
OF it's prompt and certain effects
from the testimony of a multitude
ofrespectablc citizens, among whom
is classed many of our best Physi-
clans, We do not hesitate to recon-
mend this Preparation in all cases
of Fever and Ague and Chills and,
Fever; indeed, from the facts in our
possession of it's intrinsic value. it
would not be too much for us to
state that when the directions are
strictly complied with we warrant
a cure in every case, where it is
tried. 1t is pleasant to the taste
and the cheapest Medicine in the
world. Therefore, in truth, it NAV
be declared the day is not far dis
tant when it must be appreciated
and used in every household where
Fever and Ague or Chills and Fe-
yer is found to exist.
