THE GALATIANS.


As per previous announcement the de-
tschmeut of the old and favorite Chatham
Artillery, which participated in the centen-
NAL celebration at Yorktown, arrived home
Yesterday via Charleston. The train was
about forty-fve minutes late, and long be-
fore 1t reached the city large crowd OF the
friends of the veteran corps had assembled
at the depot to give them welcome. The
Georgia Husssrs met at their headquarters
at eleven O'Clock, and having formed in
line, dismounted, marched TO the station
to escort the artillery 10 their armory.
In their new and snowy uniform, they pre-
scented an exceedingly handsome appear
ance, and as they marched through the
streets, accompanied by that portion OF the
artillery under command OF its popular
Captain John T. Wheaton, who had been
unable to accompany the command to
Virginia, they attracted universal atten-
ton.
At length the whistle Of the locomotive
was heard, and very soon after the train
came rushing up to the platform. The
crowd gathered around the cars, all eager
to congratulate the returning soldiery upon
the honors they had received at Yorktown,
and upon the fresh laurels they had won,
and ever-to-be-remembered campaign. Al
ter exchanging salutations with their friends
the assembly was sounded, the returning
detachment fell in, and after the usual mill
tary courtesies joined their comrades and,
under the escort of the Hussars, marched to
the hall of the latter, where they were well
coined most heartily, and were offered pleas
ant refreshments to sustain them after their
wearisome trip.
Notwithstanding the severe campaign
through which they had passed in Virginia
and the honors and courtesies they had re-
ceived, the Chathams, including old
Jimmy Manuion, who was member Of the
company when Washington first presented
1t with the guns captured from CORVALLIS,
and who brought up the rear bearing the
State flag OF Virginia, all looked fresh and
smiling, evidently glad to be home again.
Lieutenant Walker, especially, bore himself
with becoming dignity and modesty, albeit
that he had so recently been the honored
guest of the Senior Major General OF the
Army, and bad lunched with State Cover
nors, the President OF the. . nited States, and
other dienitaries, both domestic and for
eign. In fact the whole corps were in ex-
cellent health and spirits, and after leaving
the Hussars' headquarters marched to their
armory and were disbanded, each visitor re-
turning to his home, there to relate their
experience at the memorable Yorktown
Centennial.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
An Unknown Man Found Lying In
the Streets with His Throat cut
Several Arrests Made.

About 7:3O yesterday morning Coroner
sheftan was notified that man was lying
dead in the streets near the Old Fort House,
corner of Randolph and Bay streets, with
his throat cut and the jugular vein severed.
The Coroner proceeded to the spot indicat-
ed, and found the report correct. The muir
dered man was five feet five inches
high, with gray eyes, light hair
and moustaehe and a slight gostee.
He was dressed in dark pants, two dark
wooden striped shirts, black vest, dark
blue coat and pair Of knitted drawers.
On his left arm was found marked with
India ink fish and a wine glass, while on
his right 81. P. 1871, y wss found prieked in
with the same ink. Subsequent investigs-
ton developed the fact that he was the
fireman Of the British steamship Imbros,
which arrived here from Port Royal few
DAYS ago, and now ly ing in this port.
All that has as vet been developed regard
ing the murder is that the murdered man
had been at a dance the night before and II
Is thought that while there difficulty en-
sued between him and others present, and
that he was Afterwards set upon anu killed.
When found he was black In the face, and
his tongue was prctruding as II he had been
chOked, and further investigation revealed
the fact that his throat was cut. There is
little doubt, therefore, that he was first
badly chOked and then murdered. IL was
found impossible to hold an inquest on the
remains yesterday, SO, by order Of the COro-
ner, the body was taken out to Laurel
Grove cemetery, where 1t is now lying await
ing an inquest to-day, at which other facts
tending TO solve the mystery will doubtless
be sctuated.
Six men known to have been in company
with the murdered man have been arrested
on suspicion Of being cOnntcsed with the
crime. Their names are Charles THOMPSON,
Henry Bass, Peter Carr, John Mcbride,
John King and Charley, all white. OF
these Henry Bass. who is a sailor on the
British steamship Venice, also in port, was
arrested By Sergeant KillOurhy, Of the police
force, Just as he was about to enter
his ship. When taken in charge
his clothing was covered with blood
and circumstances point to him
as either the murderer, or as having been
intimately connected with the crime. Other
persons are also known to have been too
much mixed up In It to be permitted to 90
at large, and last night preparations were be-
ing made for their arrest, and they doubtless
are, at this moment, keeping company with
their comrades at the barracks. Further
developments In the case will be awaited
with interest.
