STILL ANOTHER STORY ABOUT THE oGEFCHEE
TROUBLES.
SAVANNAH, Jan. IA The Morning News
publishes report of conversation held by
one OF its editors with negroes concerned in
the Ogee chez troubles. The negroes say Col.
Williams, whose report was forwarded by
Gen. Libbey, only visited one plantation, thr, g
miles from the scene of the disturbance, and
did not go to the other places to ascertain the
correctness of his report concerning the outra-
ges: He asked noquestions except where they
had complaint to make against planters, wheth-
or they were in arms aga INST the United States
and what injury was done by the sher IF s
posse. He asked no question about resistance
to or robbery of the sheriff. He went down
late at night, and returned before daylight the
next morning, and was accompanied on the
trip by one OF the leading disturbers of the
peace of Savannah. 1t is reliably re ported
that party were arrested by negroes, and
we're released on Col. Williams ex planning
who he was. Sheriff Dooner publishes card
IN the morning papers, denying Col. Williams
statement.

Hundreds suffer in silence, and hundreds OF

or apply remedies which make them worse. I would
not assert anything that would do injustice to the at

When reviewing the causes of these distressing
complaints it is most painful to contemplate the at

In consequence of this early strain upon her sys-

votary to retain her situation in school at later day
thus aggravating the evil. When one excitement is
over, another in prospective keeps the mind morbid

man named Weathers, living in the lower por-

liquor, asked his little boy years old to spell
a word which it was impossible for the boy to
do. Weathers seized him bv the hair and

who pleaded for mercy, he then picked it up
and held it over the hot fire in the stove till its
whole body was burned to blister. Wealth
