The Affair Discussed in Congress-An-
other Account of the Slaughter.
The bill for the protection of the Texas
Mr.. Smalls, of South Carolina, offered the fol-
lowing amendment:
Add to the first section the following:
Provided, That no troops for the purposes named
in This section shall be drawn from the State of
South Carolina so long the militia of that State
peaceably assembled are assaulted. disarmed and
taken prisoners, and then massacred in cold blood
by lawless bands of men invading the State from
the State of Georgia.
Mr.. Smalls-I hope the House will adoptthat
proviso as an amendment to the bill AS II have
only five minutes l send to the desk letter
published in one of the newspapers here from
an eyewitness of the massacre at Hamburg.
and ask the Clerk to read it,
The Clerk read as follows:
The origin of the difficulty, as learn from the
best and most reliable athority. is as follows On
engaged in celebrating the day. and part of the
celebration consisted in the parade of the colored
militia company. After marching through the prin-
cipal streets of the town. the company came to halt
across one OF the roads leading out of the
town. While resting there two men drove up in a
buggy, and, with curses, ordered the company to
break ranks and let them pass through The Cap
tain of the company replied that there was plenty
of room either side of the company and they
could pass that way. The white men continued
the militia, to avoid difficulty, ordered his men to
break ranks and permit the buggy to pass through
The order was obeyed, and the white men went
on their way uttering threats. The next day COL

ficers of the company, based on the complaint of
the two white men, citing the officers to appear and

Mr.. Cochrane-Whose name is it? Who
wrote that letter?
Mr. Smalls.-I will say to the gentleman if
he is DESTROYS that the name shall be given IN

Mr. Conger-When an amendment was be-
fore the committee to increase the regiments
without any reference to the action of the
House in reducing the army, made sug-
gestion to the House that that proposition
would draw from other cavalry regiments a
large portion OF their quotas and leave them
with a very diminished number of men. The
amendment that is offered here is d very SIM
pie and very proper one and IN accordance
with the amendment which was last under con-
slderation. It is that, in portions OF the United
States where the lives and property of the cit
liens are alleged to be invaded, where 1t ls al
legged that property is taken and life taken by
riotous men, in regions of country where
troops are as necessary to protect them as they
are necessary to protect our citizens on the
borders of Texas. Notwithstanding this resolI1-
ton which we propose to pass, troops shall not
be taken from those regions where their pres
ence is equally necessary for the protection OF
the citizen and the protection OF his property.
/ venture to say there is no man on this floor
that dare rise in the presence of the American
people to oppose this amendment, and chal-
lenge any man to it not alone on account OF
the statements in that communication, of the
truth or falsity of which do not now speak,
but from the common knowledge which every
one has of the events in the State of South
Carolina. From facts universally acknowledged
/ venture to say that the same spirit which will
induce every member of this committee and
every member of this Congress to raise his
voice and his hand in defense and protection
of the citizens of the country, would palsy the
hand that would be raised to oppose the extern
