HoraffO seymour and BeRe-
dict Arnold.

The New York Commonwealth draws
& yery shrewd parallel between Bene-
dict Arnold's arraignment of the action
of Congress in the Revolution and the
arraignment of Abraham Lincoln by
Horatio Seymour in his Milwaukee
speech of 1864. After Arnold's treason
became known, and he had fully gone
oyer 10 the British, he issued a"procls-
nation to the citizens and soldiers OF
the United States" in which he thus
attacked the action of our govern
ment:
"You are promised liberty by the
leaders of your affairs, but is there an
individual in the enjoyment Of it, 8 V
ing your oppressorsg VINO among you
dare to speak or write what he thinks
against the tyranny which has robbed
you of your property, imprisons your
sons, drags you to the field OF battle,
and is daily deluging your country
with blood
Your country once was happy, and
had the proffered pesce been embraced,
the last two years of misery had been
spent in peace aud plenty, and repair

would have set the interests of Great
Britain and America in q true light,
and cemented their friendships.
/ wish to lead a chosen band OF
Americans to the attainment Of peace,
liberty, and safety, the first objects in
taking the field.
What is America but a band OF wild
ows, orphans and beggsrs? But what
need of argument to such as feel min
itely more misery than tongue can ex-
press? give my promise of most af-
fectionate welcome to all who are dis
posed to join me in measures necessa-
~ to close the scene of our affections
which must increase until VI are salts
fed with the liberality of the mother
country, which still offers US protection
and exemption from all taxes hut such
as we think fit to impose upon our-
selves. BENEDICT ARNOLD.
October 20, 1850.
This letter might stand very well as
a modern Democratic platform. How
closely it corresponds with Horstio
Seymour's views may be seen by COM
pairing the following extracts, the first
from Arnold's letter, the second from
Horatio Seymour's Milwaukee speech.

ATLANTA, GA, September 3.-The House
yesterday resolved to hold two sessions
day during the eligibility discussion.
This morning, in the House, Turner
(negro) consumed the morning session by
courtesy. He said he was entitled to seat,
and would not cringe nor beg it. There
was no parallel in the history Of the world
to the scene presented here to-day. Never
before was man arraigned before a legisla-
tive body for an offence committed by
God himself. The speaker did not know
until within the past three weeks the I'M
becility of the Anglo-Saxon race. The
momentous question under discussion will
not be settled to-day, but will be handed
down down to generations as long as the
sun goes down. Who first took up recon-
struction under Congress 1t was the
brawny black man. This is our Legisla-
ture. The great question is, Am man
And if go ] claim the rights Of man.
Democratic principles will never find their
level till they find them in the negroes
of Pluto and Proserpine. The Demo-
cratic leaders advised the people to
stay away from the polls, and blame
them for negroes holding seats On this
floor. Every State was reconstructed I'M
der the act that no discrimination should
be made on account of color, race, or pre-
vious condition. If every scalawag and
carpet-bagger rides into power, the black
men will ask Congress to take away the
ballot and submit the question to Congress,
or the Convention which made it, and will
abide by their decision. The Constitution
of the United States don't recognize God.
His name is not in 1t.
If this measure is carried to-day will
call a convention of my people, and send
for carpet aggers, scalawags, Yankees,
anybody, to send to the Legislature except
Georgians. You may drive US out, but you
will light torch that will never be put
out. You will make us your foes, and we
will do all we can to poison our race against
the Democracy. This thing means reyolu-
ton. Look out, carpet-baggers When
we 90 they will turn you out, lmpeach
Governor Bullock, and upset the Constitu-
ton.
At the afternoon session several members
participated in the debate.
On the vote being taken the negroes were
declared ineligible by vote Of so to 70,
thus unseating twenty-five negroes. -Four
of them, who claim to be white men, re-
main, and their cases will be Investigated
tomorrow.
As Turner walked out Of tho hall he
brushed the dust from his feet. The other
negroes, as they passed out, bowed to the
Speaker and waved their hats to the white
members,

LOCAL MATTERS.

A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR-SUPP0SED MUIR
DER AND ROBBERY.-A remarkable affair
was reported at our office at late hour last
night. We give the particulars as related,
without venturing an opinion as to the facts
in the case. Whether the statements be
reliable or otherwise we know not, but the
matter should be at once thoroughly inves-
tigated by the authorities.
II seems that on Wednesday morning
last a young man, son Of o Well-known
matchmaker residing near the Central depot,
went out in the country with his wife for
the purpose Of gathering sumac. They
followed the track of the Central rail-
road, gathering the sumac as they went,
and had thus proceeded about three miles,
when they were suddenly struck by most
offensive odor, apparently arising from g
clump of bushes not far from the railroad.
As they approached the spot the young man
told his wife that the disagreeable odor GER
tainly arose from dead human body, and
desired to 60 still further, to ascertain
whether his supposition was correct. She
at once became alarmed, and begged her
husband SO earnestly not to 60 near the
place that he agreed to turn back, and after
some further pursuit OF their business they
returned to the city.
Arrived at home, a negro woman who lived
next door inquired of the young man how
he had succeeded in his days work. lie
replied /" Pretty well, but not so we'll as he
would have done if my wife hadn't got
frightened" lie then related the story as
above, whereupon the negroes told him that
q few days before she had been in the same
locality gathering sumac, and had seen
something which she had been afraid to
mention, but which frightened her almost
to death. Being pressed to know what it
was. she said that while quietly at work
sound as of q groan attracted her attention,
and looking up she saw white man lying
on the ground with the blood gushing from
his throat, which seemed to be cut from
ear to ear. She turned at once from the spot,
and pulled away her daughter, who had
not seen it, fearing that the latter would
scream at the sight. They hurried off, but
had proceeded only few steps when they
heard rustling in the bushes, and looking
that way, saw two men apparently count
mo q roll Of greenbacks. The hands of
ono were covered with blood. Horror
struck, and believing their own lives IN

The TOURNAMENT AT AMELIA SPRINGS
The tournament and ball at Amelia Springs
on Wednesday last was one Of the most
brilliant affairs of the kind which has
occurred this season. Amelia, all the con-
tiguous counties, and this city, contributed
each their share to the array OF beauty and
fashion present.
The riding was excellent; and for a long
time it was impossible to predict who would
be the successful knight. Mr.. Booker and
the three Miller brothers each took the ring
fifteen successive times. On the sixteenth
round two Of the Millers missed the ring,
and the contest was left to Messrs. Perkins
Miller and Booker. Mr.. Miller was finally
declared the successful knight.
The following is a list of the successful
Knights and the Maids of Honor Miss Whit
worth, of Amelia, was crowned "Queen Of
Love and Beauty" by Mr.. Perkins Miller,
of the same county Miss Mamie Cottrell
of this city, was chosen First Maid of Honor
by Mr.. Booker, of Amelia the next best
rider, Mr.. 4. W. Miller, of Amelia, chose
Miss - Rahm, of our city, as the Second
Maid of Honor; Miss Ella Scott, of Anne
liza, was chosen Third Maid Of Honor by
Mr.. II. T. Miller, of this city.
The ball, at night, was the great feature OF
the occasion. The large ballroom Of the
Springs had been put in order, and what
with its brilliant lights, the rich costumes
of the ladies, and good music, presented a
scene rarely witnessed by the good people
of Amelia. The great success which char
acterized the whole affair is due to the ex-
cellent good taste and management Of the
following gentlemen, who constituted the
committee of arrangements H. 7. Miller
of Richmond; J. R. Moss, W. B. Blanton
7. S. Scott, J. W. Johns, ]. A. Coleman
W. W. Southall, and S. \. Miller, all Of
Amelia.
On yesterday morning there was con-
test for Silver Cup" and after much
riding, Mr.. A. W. Miller, of Amelia, was
announced as entitled to the prize.

SAVANNAH, Ga, September 3.-The white
boy who mysteriously disappeared has been
found murdered by negroes near the city
His gun and clothing were gone, and for
these the murder is supposed to have
been committed.
The coroner's jury rendered verdict Of
"killed by parties unknown" There Is
great excitement in the city. Parties have
been out three days hunting for the boy,
and they have passed by armed bodies OF
negroes who halted them after military
style. Parties are now out securing the
country in search of the murderers.
Assaults on the whites by negroes on the
roads leading into the city are of hourly
occurrence. The negroes in and around
the city are thoroughly organized, drilled,
and well armed.

danger, they ran off with all their might,
and did not stop until they were far from
the spot.
The repetition of these stories in the
neighborhood have given rise to all sorts of
rumors, and ii is stated and believed that q
stranger was enticed to the place above de-
scribed and murdered and robbed. We
have heard of no one being reported miss
ing from the city. After all, the story of
the negress may be but n fiction or the in
vention of disordered imagination but
she says she is willing to swear to its
truth, and the coincidence between her
story and what the young man says is GER
tainly remarkable. The lateness of the
hour at which the facts were brought to our
notice precluded visit to the scene of the
supposed crime.
Any justice of the peace, or other county
officer, by applying at this office, may OBJ
tain the names of the parties and other
particulars, which we are not allowed as
vet to publish.

SroRM.-Last evening ut about a quarter
to O'Clock square column of cloud Of q
ereenish- blue color arose above the horizon
in the southeast. 1t was az straight as a
wall on each side, and on both sides and
above it the sky was perfectly clear. Gradu-
ally it began to move westward, and at the
same time there came rolling down on it
from the west huge pile of black cloud ;
and when the two met there flashed forth a
most vivid lightning, followed by heavy
thunder-crash, and then there swept over
the city furious rain, which lasted some
ten or fifteen minutes. The violence of the
storm then moderated, and light rain fell.
