70 he Editor Of the Intt''igaeer:
sIN:-ln letter over his own signature
published in your issue Of the lst inst. ex.
Gov. Pierpont Gays among other things, 1e-
ierring to George W. Atkinson: "When
Marshal Atkinson was boy, it was repre-
sented to me that this father was an honest
man, but in destitute condition, with a
famlly.I procured an Office for him,
which supported him and his family. i
have no doubt the money that paid the
Alarshals expenses when he was sent TO
Ohio (undera thick cloud) to college came
from the office which | procured for his
father" ~ ~.
While We have no desire, and do not in
tend to take part in. any personal quarrel
between Ex-Governor Pierpont and Nj.
Atkinson, the above statement is go fur
from the true iacts that We deem it our
duty, as we'll as in justice to Mr.. Atkinson
asto ex Governor Plerpont himself, (whom
we feel sure would not Intentionally mis-.
represent the facts) to correct the state
ment. We were acquainted with Colonel
james Atkinson and his family for many
years, and some Of US since long prior to
the war Tor the Union, and we know Nh.
Atkinson, at the beginning OF the war was
well-to.do flrmer and business man in
comfortable circumstances, and was con-
sidered one Of the substantial citizsns of
the county.
AS to Marshal Atkinson being "under a
thick c,oud" when he went to college, we
have no conception Of what is meant by il,
as We are not aware OF his having been
under any sort Of cloud, and We must GER
tainly have known it If anything bud ex-
listed affecting his good character.

The entire neighborhood IVES shocked at
the fearful sacrifice Of human life. A CON
fusion Of footprints WAS found leading away
from the house into the neighboring woods.
Search parties were formed, aud the coun.
try for miles around was secured for trace
oil the murderers. About o'clock yester.
day afternoon q farm hand named G Gcorge
French was arrested by one OF the County
Constables upon suspicion. Blood was
found upon his shoes and clothing. He
told very lame story OF his whereabouts
the night before. 1t wss plain that he was
in some way connected with the murder.
A crowd gathered and soon swelled into a
mob Of frenzied men. His coutradictorv
replies convinced them that he wss guilty.
a rope Was brought and placed about
his neck and the mob swung him up
to the nearest tree. He WIS let down halt
insensible, and, upon coming to, confessed
that he and Jim and Doc Carter, two
negroes, working upon the farm OF Squire
Davis had planned the murder. He gave
sickening details OF the murders and CON
ieEsed that all three Of them we're guilty.
They found 81, 200 in money and divided
it between them. He had hardly finished
his story when he was jerked up and stran-
gled to death. Twenty shots vera fired
into his body. The mob then made a
break Tor Davis farm, where the two
negroes were found. Although both OF
them protested their innocence, the mob
hanged them to the came tree, and shot
them while they strangled.
