corning the Ogeechee troubles. The me-
groes say Col. Williams, whose report
was forwarded by Gen. Sibley, only

did not go to other places to ascer-
tain the correctness Of the report
concerning the outrages. He asked no
questions except whether they had any
complaints to make against the planters;
whether they were in arms against the
United States, and what injury had been
done them by the sherif's posse. He
asked no qustions about resistance to or
robbery of the sheriff. he went down at
night, returned before daylight next
morning, and was accompanied, it
is reported, by one of the
