I'm:
This question was lately asked OF Lieu
tenant commanding the United States
troops now stationed at Columbia, and he
replied substantially as follows: "There is
no more law abiding people or sincere low
ers Of peace and order than the larger pOr-
ton of the citizens of Maury County. A
few lswless men there may be, just as there
are bad men everywhere. But man who
minds his own business, no matter from
what particular locality he may came, will
be treated with all the courtesy usually
extended by brave and chivalrous people.
But they are like the looking glass, if
frowned at, meanly treated and spit upon,
they will return the measure that is melted
to them. A man can get any treat
ment he wants in Columbia. If he
wants good treatment, he has only TO
command it by his actions; if he de-
sires to kill, he hal better look sharp or
he will get killed. Ny soldiers go every
where they please in the county, and are
treated with the utmost civility and cour-
t4ay by the citizens Az honest man and
gentleman need not be afraid TO go to
Maury county to live, no matter where he
may hail from. There is no necessity
whatever for the presence of militia in
Maury county, as the military force already
there is Sufficient TO prevent crime and see
that civil law is executed" The Column
bia Herald says that no man deserves any
credit, it is said, for doing his duty, or tel
ling the truth, bat il is 30 rare a thing for
a Northern man to speak ofSOuthern people
without prejudice, that this testimony Of
gallant soldier in behalf of brave, manly
but downtrodden people, is as commend
able as it was magnsnimous.
