John Murphy and Il. + Putney, white speak

REPORT OF COMMITTEE or INQUIRY.
The following is the report of Judge Vason
and Mr. johnson, who were requested by
Lieut.. Howard Of the Freedmens Bureau to
investigate matters and to communicate to
the Senate and the House of Representatives
Of the State Of Georgia
We left Camilla this day at noon 1t was
quiet there, and no apprehension was felt for
further trouble. The citizens acted under
the orders Of the sheriff They acted as his
police in the whole affair The negroes Of
the county are all quiet, and no bad feeling
exists between them and the whites growing
out Of the affair But few negroes were
present during the fight except those in the
procession. There is no necessity for any adj
ditional force to protect the whites or blacks.
The wounded negroes are well cared for, and
have the sympathy Of the whites. The whole
difficulty originated in the right claimed by
Murphy Pierce and others to carry the ne
grocs into a political meeting with arms
The Sheriff disputed the right aud insisted
that under the proclamation of the Governor
and the law it was his duty as a civil officer
to prevent such proceeding.

The funeral of MT. George Warren
 was to have taken place on the 10th, ac- cording to the published announce ment, but we are pleased to state that the gentleman is in fair way of en- toying life for ycars yet. On Saturday last, st II o'clock, 4: M., fn the city or Meadville. George Warren, to all ap- pearances, breathcd his last. He was prepared for burial. and the remains were to be sent to this city for inter ment. Hts sister, who was present at the time of his supposed demise, arriv- ed here on Saturday night, and made preparation to receive the melancholy cortege. On Monday hcarse and car riage went to the depot, but the object of their search was not there, and they received word that the funeral party had. missed the train. The hearse went to the depot again yesterday, but in- stead of the corpse there came a dis patch stating that Mir. Warren showed signs of life. A dispatch, received at late hour last evening, stased that ne had been removed from his cofdn and was sitting up in bed. What must be the feelings of his friends at thus hav- ing restored to them ono who was mourned as dead, beyond the possibili- ty of doubt? He lay in the death- like trance state for about forty-eight hours before exhibiting signs of ani- nation, and it was almost providen- tial circumstance that the iMterment was set for place some distance from where the supposed death occurred. The disease that prostrated him was typhoid fever, and the contemplated interment at Erie was probably the means of averting that horror-uncon- sciously burying living human being.
