of the Georgia whites would not hesitate to
join the enemy, if there should be an at
tempt to invade the country. He regards
the feeling as one of bitter, blind, implaca-
BILE hatred to the republic, which would
not stop at any means to crafty ITSELF
Admitting this statement to be true, what
are we to think of that "free Government"
which holds an unwilling rule over such
men?

THE MURDER OF DIR. JAS. T. PATERSON.
We learn from the Savannah Adrertiser that
among the true bills found by the Grand
Jury of Chatham County, on Monday, was
one against Mrs. Catherine B. Paterson,
charging her with the murder of her hus-
band, DR.. James T. Paterson, the announce
ment of whose sudden death at his own
hands, in his room ut the Pavilion House,
Savannah, Oh the 10th of May, 1868, so
startled our community, as the facts con-
nected with the affair seemed to be wrapped
in some mystery. The day after his death
occurred, his remains were conveyed to Au-
gusta, where he formerly resided, for
burial, his wife accompanying them. The
matter, although talked of for some days,
soon lied out, but was shortly afterward
revived by Mrs. Paterson's making applica-
ton, through her attorney to the courts,
for control of the property OF deceased,
which application, we believe, was refused
at the request of the creditors of the de-
ceased, the estate being insolvent. The
facts connected with the death of Or. Pa
terson were silently being worked up by the
brother of the deceased, who had the sto.
mach cut out and examined: and from the
true bill found against Mrs. Paterson by the
Grand Jury of the Superior Court, would
seem to leave no doubt but what ,ho Jury
had good evidence and sufficient grounds
for their action before bringing in bill Of
murder against Mrs. Paterson DIR. Pater
son resided in Columbia q year or two, ant
carried on photographic establishment
Mrs. Paterson, we learn, is now in some o.
the Northern cities, and will shortly be in
formed of the action of the court. ~
