A Bit Of Extraordinary War History
Brought 10 Light.


New YORK, Jan. 20.-A long statement
appears in the Times this morning, about
the early campaigns OF Gen. Grant which
it was stated gave so much dissatisfac-
ton at headquarters at Washington that
he was to be superseded, but was not by
the occurrence Of circumstances
When he began the investment of
Vicksburg the movement was condemned
at headquarters, and finally, after the
unsuccessful assault on Vicksburg in
May, an order was sent to Gen Banks,
then investing Port Hudson, directing
him to go and take the command Of the
army from Gen. Grant, and assume it
himself The order was an imperative
one, nevertheless Gen. Banks did not
obey the order.
He replied, expostulating. The con-
siderations on which that officer based
his expostulation will appear when this
remarkable correspondence sees the light.
This much, however, may be said He
pointed out, that for him to abandon his
position at Port Hudson would be to give
up the key of Mississippi, imperilling
not only the tenure of New Orleans, but
jeopardizing our possession of any point
of vantage on that vital water line.
Upon this rejoinder came from Wash
ington second command to supersede
Grant, and when the impropriety of the
step was again pointed out by Banks, he
was severely censured for disobedience
of orders.
The correspondence between Gen.
Banks and the authorities at Washington
continued till the fall of Yicksburg, when
every scrap OF paper bearing on the SUBJ
ject was spirited away from the archives
in the department., while Banks, putting
the writings safely by, kept his own
counsels. The secret of this critical pas
sage in his life was, until month ago,
unknown to him it so closely touches. II

THE BARTLETT SCANDAL.
Sequel TO the White Girl-NegrO
EIOpement-The Negro In
the Hands OF the
Coroner.
The Girls Father Sheets Another
Negro.

Last Thursday night our readers will
remember that a negro, named Wash
Henly, left the neighborhood of Bartlett
Station, on the Memphis and Louisville
railroad, eleven miles from Memphis, and
carried with him white girl named FL
len Jones, the daughter of blacksmith,
for whom he had been working. The
father came to Memphis the guilty pa Z
went to Germantown on the Memphis
and Charleston railroad, by travelling
across the country in the night. The
girl stopped or was detained at German
town; her colorsd escort fled on to Cole
lierville, eight or nine miles further, and
about twenty miles from Memphis.
At COllierville he was overtaken by a
party Of Mr.. Jones' neighbors, ak young
men, who got on the right track, and fol-
lowed the fugitives from Bartlett Mr.
Jones FASTENED to Germantown and re,
turned sadly with his daughter to his
home, six miles southeast of Bartlett
The persons who captured the negro
found one hundred dollars on his person.
The girl, who, by the way, isseYenteen
years DID,, says she gave him that out
of the four or five hundrnd dollars
she stole from her father to take her
away from home. She was determined
to go, she said, as far as the money would
convey her. Her leading idea seems to
have been to get away from the restraints
of the parental roof The negro was
conveyed across the country towards
Bartlett, to be examined on whatever
charge might be preferred against him.
Six men had him in charge. When within
about two miles of Bartlett, Just after
dark, party of about twenty five men,
all masked, rode up and demanded the
prisoner, who was riding behind one Of
the young men. They refused to give
him up, but were so entirely surrounded
that they saw resistance would be use
less. One of the maskers rode up and
was about to shoot the negro on the
horse. The young man in front of
him demonstrated and was struck over
the head with the butt of pistol. The
end Of the matter was that the negro
was surrendered, and very soon after
ward several shots were heard by the
six young men who had been permitted
to go on unmOlested. Saturday the body
of the negro was found riddled with bull
let's. A coroner's inquest was held and
the jury rendered a verdict that the de-
ceased was shot and killed by unknown
persons.
Saturday night another negro, a rela-
tive of the one killed, went to the house
of Mr.. Jones and assaulted him with a
knife, swearing that he intended to kill
him. Mr.. Jones defended himself with
q double barrelsd shotgun, and fired
shot which brought him down. At last
accounts the negro was not dead but was
expected to die every hour-Memphts

Proclamation by The Governor!

Whereas, There exist in Middle

who set at defiance civil law. and
in certain localities, render it inn
possible for the civil officers to en-
force the laws of the State and
whereas, those masked villains.
called Ku Klux, are taking prison
ers from jails and hanging them
without trial, and are abducting
passengers from railroad trains, and
notifying conductors of Northern
birth to leave the State, they having
driven four conductors from one
road; and whereas, certain ambitious
men have made incendiary speeches
advising the overthrow of the
State government, thereby en-
couraging these bands and
whereas, certain Rebel newspapers
have encouraged these men by de-
nying the existence ofthe Ku- Kluxi
by ridieuling their acts and failing
to condemn them and whereas,
the Legislature has amended the
Militia Law, and given me author!
lty to meet such outrages; Il
Now, therefore, l. William G..

warned against harboring any Ku-

BILLS CALLED VI
THE RUTTEK CASE.

Mr.. Rutter, charged with embezzling
moneys belonging to the State school
fund, was surrendered by his bail, Judge
Leonard and Mr.. T. s. Davis, on Satur-
day night, and on Sunday writ of
hobeas corpus was applied for to pre-
vent his being taken to Nashville. Yes
terday his counsel, Gen. Sale, stated to
the court that the gentlemen above
named had again placed their names on
Mr. Rutter's bond, and he asked that the
hearing of the application on the writ of
hd6eGS corpus might be set for Satur,
day next. The papers not being in court,
Judge Hunter ordered the Sheriff to
return them to the court, while in the
meantime he would hold the matter
under adYisenent. This restores matters
for the present in much the same condi-
ton they stood on Saturday, and while
the writ of ha6eaS corpus is in allegiance
it will not be possible to arrest the &C
cused on any sudden surrender of the
bond, and hurry him off to Nashville
