Referred to the Judiciary Com mittee. These gentlemen sued Butler for his in aaious treatment of them, and he. like a true Radical villain, calls upon Congress to ; .niaJi them for it.

Telegrams to hand m this city from Madrid, dated in the Spanish capital yesterday evening the 19th instant, conrey the highly important intel ligence that the Queen's Admiral Topete, commanding the naval force off Cadiz, with the whole of the men serving under his or ders, has revolted againRt Isabella's Govern ment-the result of a political revolutionary agitation which has been silently but ac tively progressing among the royal sailors since the period of the banishment of the militwy Generals and the exile of the Duke ana Duchess de Montpensier. The Generals so lately sentenced to ban- 1 lahment have returned from, as they allege, the places assigned to them under the royal warrant : General Zabala from Lugo, Mar shal Serrano from the Canary Isles, with his nephew, M. Lopez Dominguez, commandant of artillery, and formerly deputy in the I Cortes ; General Caballero de Roda ar rested at Zamora, from the Balearic Isles : General Cordova from Barcelona or ngueras, and General Etchague from the direction of Pampeluna, General Ros de lano from Deva, Cervino from Estella in Navarre, Ustariz from Teruel, Mesina from Ateca, and Alaminos from Ronda. ! Marshal de la Torre headed the move ment, and the leading men of the old 0 Donnelist # party sustain it. Several towns have joined in the insurrection, and the most intense panic prevailed at the Court in Madrid. Troops were dispatched with all haste to the south, General Concha | having been commissioned to command the loyalist forces. London, September 20. ? Evening. ? A rumor prevailed on Saturday evening in j Paris, the report being transmitted here, that Queen Isabella, of Spain, who met I Napoleon and the royal family of France at San Sebastian last Friday, has abdicated I the throne ; but it is not stated whether in I Madrid, at San Sebastian, or at Biarritz (on I French territory), whither she went imme- I diately after Napoleon's return from the interview with her Majesty at San Sebas tian. London, September 2 0 . ? Mictn ight.?The following important news has been received from Madrid : The Prime Minister, Gon zales Bravo, and Mayalde and Belda, mem- j bers of the Spanish Cabinet, have resigned. I The Marquis of Havana has been requested j to fill their places ad interim . - The Queen is returning to Madrid. Martial law has been proclaimed in the capital. Paris, September 20. ? The journals here j have reports that a general movement I against the Queen has commenced in Spain, J and that it is headed by General Prim and j by the Generals who were recently esiled. Some accounts say that the rebels are mo- ! ring upon Madrid in force. Paris, September 21. ? Some reports say the rising in Spain is not a movement of the Liberalsalone, but is supported by all parties. ^ It is stated that the revolutionists have failed at some points, owing to the want of leaders. ^ The report that Queen Isabella has abdicated is generally dis credited. The Honiteur publishes excited intelli gence received yesterday from Spain, and says the reported accessions of some crews at Madrid to the revolutionary movement gives gravity to the news ; but accounts so far received are imperfect. It is certain, however, that the Ministry has resigned, and that General Concha has been sum moned to Madrid to form a new Cabinet. At last accounts the capital remained quiet. The Moniteur adds : " This event prevent ed the Queen meeting the Emperor Napo leon again, as she left San Sebastian for Madrid." Munich, September 21. ?

To-day he made a visit to the Bourse, and, in reply to an address, said : " Peace is desired by all. I have the surest hope that it will not be broken. My speech at Kiel was intended to give the strongest assurance of that hope, and I can not understand how opposite impressions could have been derived from the words 1 used on that occasion."

STATEMENTS OF THE CITIZENS AND THE FREEDMENVS BL'REAU AGENT. Atlanta, Ga., September 22.? The par ticulars of the riot at Camilla as tele graphed from Bainbridge to Augusta yes terday were incorrect and exaggerated. The following gives the accounts of both aides : FREEDMEN'S BUREAU STATEMENT. Major Howard, United States army, and Sub -Assistant Commissioner of the Freed men's Bureau, telegraphs General Sibley, commanding the district, as follows, from Albany, September 19th : " At 1 o'clock P. M., Ishmael Lumie (freedman) reported himself directly from Camilla, Mitchell county, Ga., stating that he had left there at 2 o'clock P. M. ; that in the forenoon this day he approached Camilla with John Murphy, William R. Pearce (candidate for Congress in the se cond district), and F. F. Putney (white), and about seventy-five colored persons, en route for the town. Pearce and Murphy were to deliver political addresses. Upon approaching Camilla, relator, being in ad vance, was accosted by an armed and mounted white man who at first said he was going for a doctor to attend a freedman who bad been hurt by the falling of a tree, but who subsequently stated that be was a courier, and advised relator and others of th^ party who had overtaken him not to go to town ; that the people there were determined that the Radicals should not speak in Camilla ; that, notwithstanding the warning, the party moved on towards Camilla, when they were met by the sheriff and posse, who accosted Captain Pearce, and who were assured by Captain Pearce that he desired and intended to speak in Camilla on political subjects. The sheriff endeavored to dissuade him from doing so, telling him that the people would not permit it ; that the sheriff then went back into Camilla and again returned, saying he had done all in his power to dissuade the people from violence, but without effect ; that the party ' moved on to the town ; that Pearce and Putney entered the town, dis mounted from their buggy, and hitched their horse at the court-house ; that as the wagon containing the music of the party entered the town it was fired upon by the mounted white man who had first accosted relator and by several other white men ; that the freedmen then started to escape to the woods ; that Pearce attempted to rally them, calling on them not to fly; that the colored men, being unarmed, would not stop. Relator, being mounted, dashed out of town ; so did the freedmen on foot and part of the musicians, who had abandoned the wagon. Murphy and Philip Joyner, in a buggy, drove rapidly away in the direction of Albany; that relator kept ahead of them ; that when seven miles from Camilla the buggy containing Murphy and Joyner was overtaken by five or sis white men mounted and armed : that the buggy waB stopped, and one horse dashed riderless up the road toward the relator. He saw the pursuers around the buggy ? some of them dismounted ? and that he then came as rapidly as possible to Albany." STATEMENT OF THE SHERIFF OF MITCHELL COUNTY AND OTHER PROMINENT CITI ZENS. The following statement of the sheriff and other prominent citizens of Mitchell county, sworn to, is addressed to the Legis lature : "On Saturday the 19th instant it was made known to the citizens of Camilla that John Murphy, of Albany, Ga., had issued a circular, and secretly circulated the same among the colored men of this county, or dering them to bring their arms with them to a political meeting advertised for that day at this place. flhis information was corroborated by Robert Cochran, Sr., Thomas Jones, and others, who came from the road in the direction of Albany, stating that the armed negroes were assembling in large numbers at China Grove church, wait ing for the delegation from Albany headed by John Murphy and Pearce, candidates for Congress, who were to be the speakers for the occasion. "At the request of citizens, W. J. Poore, with a committee of six other citizens, went out to meet said procession and to protest against armed negroes being marched in procession in our town, and to state to them distinctly that if they would put down their arms no objection would be made to their entering town and holding their po I litical meeting. The sheriff delivered this message to Murphy and Pearce, the leaders of the procession, and they replied that they had nothing to do with these armed negroes ; the gxms belonged to them, and they were in the habit of carrying them wherever they went. The sheriff replied that as a peace-officer it was his duty under the law to forbid the assemblage of armed men at political meetings, and assured them that if they entered the town with their music and banners, followed by armed men, as they were, there would be a breach of the peace, and he would not be responsible for the consequences. " Shortly afterwards the column moved into town in regular order, headed by Pearce, the candidate for Congress, and one Putney (white) in a buggy, armed with a double-barrel shot-gun, a Spencer rifle, and two pistols, and having a quantity of am munition, as was afterwards ascertained. Nest came a four-horse wagon containing a band and a number of armed negroes ; next | followed a column of negro men on foot, between 300 and 400, attended by about twenty mounted outsiders. At least one half if not two-thirds were armed with guns, and a majority of them with pistols. The music was playing, and the crowd noisy and threatening in their conduct. Murphy and one Philip Joyner (negro) brought up.the rear in a buggy. " As the head of the column approached the Square, one of our citizens, named James Johns, who was intoxicated, ap proached within a few feet of the column and ordered the music to stop. The order was not obeyed, and the column moved on, and was about twenty steps from him when he fired ? whether intentionally or unin tentionally is not known, but his gun was pointed in a different direction from it, and the contents struck the ground about twelve feet from him. The column then tired a volley, some of the shots at Johns, but most of them in the direction of Maple s store, thirty or forty steps from the column, at which place there were a number of our citizens, all unarmed, wounding six ot them. Immediately about twenty of ouy citizens sprang to their arms and fire into the column, by which two negroes were killed and a number wounded. The negroes immediately broke for a thick cluster o timber 100 yards north of the court-house. At this point there was an attempt made by Pearce to rally his routed forces, *ur c1"' zens, to the number of thirty part ot them mounted? made a charge, and com pletely routed the whole force, Pearce Hy ing through the woods and fields, and Mur phy and Phil Joyner escaping in a buggy up the road towards Albany . "Seven negroes wt?.'J killed, and from the best information that we have been a )lc to gather, between thirt} and forty were wounded, all of whom h ive been proper y cared for. "It is a eource of deep regret that the calamitous consequences ot this anair .el exclusively upon the poor deluded negroes, led on by wicked white men ? Pearcs, Mur phy, and Putney, who made good their escape in the hour of danger with but little injury to themselves. This sad reault is to be attributed more to the sharpness and shrewdness of these gallant leaders in effecting their escape than to want of inten tion on the part of our people. "We hereby disavow any purpose or intent on the part of ourselves or our citi zens to violate the law or peace of the State in what was done. We were willing, and so expressed ourselves to these leaders, for them to hold their political meeting at the court-house in our town if the negroes were disarmed ; but we did think, and still think, that it was our duty to obey the orders of the sheriff as a civil officer of this State in breaking up this unlawful assemblage. We felt that, as their numbers vastly ex ceeded that of our citizens present, if this meeting had taken place the lives of our wives and children would be at the mercy of an infuriated mob. " The consequences are to be regretted. We do not boast of them. We feel that we have but discharged a painful duty impoeed on us by the wicked and corrupt white men who are now engaged in leading astray, into acts of lawlessness, the colored people of our country. " We appeal to the faw-making power 01 Georgia and the lawful authorities of the United States Government to check the pro gress of these strolling criminalsthat are prowling about the homes and disturbing the peace and. quiet of our war-stricken people." The Governor haB addressed a message to the Legislature recommending that the President be petitioned for troops. The matter is being considered in the Legisla ture to-day. Second Dispatch. Atlanta, Ga., September 22. ? The fol lowing report is from Judge Vason and Mr. Johnson, who were requested by Lieu tenant Howard, of the Freedmen's Bureau, to investigate the Camilla affair : ? To the Committee of the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Georgia: " We left Camilla this day at noon. All was quiet, and no apprehension was felt of further trouble. The act of the citizens was under the orders of the sheriff, they acting as his posse in the whole affair. The negroes of the county are all quiet, and no bad feeling exists between them and the whites growing out of the affair. But few negroes were present except those in the procession. Thare is no necessity for any additional force to protect the white or black wounded. The negroes will be cared for, and have the sympathy of the whites. "The whole difficulty grew out of the rights claimed by Murphy, Pearce, and others, to carry the negroes into a political meeting with arms. The sheriff disputed this right, and insisted that under the pro clamation of the Governor and the law it was his duty as a civil officer to prevent it. There is no excitement in Albany. "T. H. Johnson, " D. A. Vason." Messrs. Johnson and Vason, and Mr. Clarke (a northern man who came South since the war), certify to the good character of the parties making the sworn statements sent by telegraph this morning. The above report was laid before both Houses of the Legislature to-day, and the Legislature refused to comply with Governor Bullock's request that they should petition the President to send United States troops to the State. The following is a portion of the message of governor bullock on the affair. " In disregard of the proclamation issued on the 14th instant, the right of the people peacefully to assemble has been violently and barbarously impaired, and the civil officers are wholly unable to protect the rights of citizens or maintain the peace. It is earnestly recommended that the Legis lature make immediate application to the President for sufficient military force to be stationed in Mitchell county to maintain the peace, protect the lives and property of citizens, and see that the guilty are pun ished, after duo process of law. " The fact that this occurrence is the re sult of a determination publicly expressed by irresponsible persons of one political party that the other political party shall not hold meetings is too well known. It is gratifying that this sentiment is confined to a lawless class, and not countenanced or supported by respectable citizens ; but the misfortune is that these outrages are not prevented, and unless physical force is added to the honest efforts of the officers of the law we shall be thrown into a state of anarchy, when neither life nor property will be regarded." A resolution was offered in the Senate to refer the Governor's message to a commit tee on " the state of the republic." After considerable debate about telegraphing to the President, a senator offered a resolution that " as the Seriate had heard the state ment of a negro through the Governor, that the account from a white man be read. This was agreed to. The whole matter was finally referred to a committee, with instructions to investi gate before the Senate. The same course was taken in the House. The Senate com mittee reported this afternoon, giving the sworn statements and the report of Messrs. Vason and Johnson. After an exciting discussion the report was adopted? 22 to 10. The House com mittee made two reports, and after a heat ed discussion the majority report was adopted ; which is, that the committee find the evidence proffered by the Governor was not sustained by the evidence produced be fore the committee. They have come to the conclusion that the whole difficulty oc curred and originated from the determina tion of the parties referred to in the Go vernor's message ? to wit, Pearce, Murphy , and Putney? to persist in appearing at Ca milla at the head of an armed company of negroes, a right which was disputed by the sheriff. The civil authorities are able to execute the law, and there is no necessity for military interference. The report is signed by one senator and four members or the House. One senator dissented from the report, but said, " I agree with the commit tee, but believe that other legislation is ne cessary to preserve order and protect per sons and property."

The Snrratt Case. Washington*, September 22. ? In court to-day Surratt's counsel set forth the am nesty proclamation of the President. They claim safety for their client under that clause pardoning all who were not then under indictment for treason or felony in any court of the United States having com petent jurisdiction. The counsel claim that Surratt was at that time under indict ment for murder at common law, and not for treason or felony, and is consequently entitled to the benefit of the proclamation.
