to Brown's Ferry for the purpose of investigating
.flu? mnUcrV cirectcd Lieut. A she, with'two
guards', to proceeti to Stowers' liouse. on the Geor?
gia side; they left the ferry at tor. minufes bcTdro
one o'clock in the night. I remained witlrLicut.v
Hall and one soldier at Browji's Fi rry. (TJie time
appointed for ^the firing lo he done was from half
past-one to two o'clock.) Lieut. A;dic v-as to re-.
turn from Stowers' liouso t?. the Perry ai two!?
The stars were shining ; there was" no pefcq?fibTe
wind at all; everything was stiil. At hal^nst
qn?, Lieut. Hall discharged a Colt's large- army
revolver, charged with ball and cartridge of large
size... He held it horriwmtal, and pointed it up to
(he. river; three shots were discharged in succes?
sion^ at intervals of fron? one to two seconds. The
night of the murder was very similar, except as to
the shining of the moon : and I lie ground was wci I
' at t^xo time of the experiment: it Dad been rain?
ing; and dry on the night- 01' the murder. Lieut.
Asho returned to the fcrrj at half-past two. The
revolver was pointed along the hank of lie rirer:
Stowers' lib?se is some to the lefr. No wind was
blowing that I could discover by .'repeated bxpeti
mcnt with my handkerchfef; it was perfectly slllL'
LieUt.-J. E. As'ic, another witness for-the prose?
cution, being sworn,-testified as follows :
My name is JohuE. Ashe; am :J? years o?" ago : I
am first Lieutuiaul Cc. "C," 1st Maine Battalion,
and'Quartermas'er; staiiuned at Anderson. Went
to the house of the accused, F. (.5. Stowers. 10
listen for the 'discharge of shots, fired at Frown's
Ferry by Dr. Pillsbury. We left the fciryat
minutes, to 1 o'clock, on the Georgia side: I went
directly io Mr. Stowers' house, which took um
minutes.; I was directed by Dr. Pillsbury to ivutni j
? at 2 o'clock, and dune. sg, but l hoard iio>h&**.at
all; when I got to theJ10u.sc directed by the doc?
tor, a n^egro house wirf? ose room, I should say
some 10 or li feet square : it is in the rear : tlx re
is an old-fashioned loom in the house1, with a web
of cloth on it, and a j. art of a-bedstead with one
side of it gone ; I think this is all it contuined ex?
cept some straw ; it was a;lit?e in tho roar of Mr.
Stowers' house, from tltc river, about two rods in
the rear and about six rods to the foft: i stationed
myself just outside the door of the house, and \ cry
near it; I remained there til: '2 o'clock, "1 ho fiiiio
. appointed for, uic to go back ; llhtfrrc-was one. man
with me: I heard nothing while there, no s Kind
either in the house or outside of it. 1 ffhs on the
side of the house towards tlic ferry, and was inl-onj
listening if I could hear any sounds: nothing un?
favorable occurred to hearing them, if they had j
been'audible. The night was quite c'.ear at that
time; starlight; there was*no wind at all: 1 was
listening to Lear the sounds of pistols. The 1FH
arc v.ery- high botwecn Stowers' house and the j
ferry; one bluff is particularly high ; also the land
is high all the way; ia going to Mr. Stow.?rs' liousj
from the river, Iiis house is to the right ; the laud
is high from the road on tho right as far as 1 could
see up'thcriver. I should think there (?a? ground
between Stowers' house and the ferry high jr thag
tho house.
Tho counsel for tho accused announced that they
had no questions to ask the witness.
The Judge Advocate stated thet he had no fur- |
ther evidence to offer hi reply, and rested his case
The accused, through his counsel, ?sts U r?i ??:?
two Of fho wilne^fos, vn: J. G. Ricliard??:i
Ephraim :DickiTiscu, to examin?; '.hem Iis to the
country beiweon ?towers' and tit j river, and to re?
establish the audibility oi cjus of 'tfRc witnesses,
callod for ti-.c defense, whose njaiimouy. lias been
impeached as tollte following fao?s?fhat Stowers
had bViihcly, and did bring it to the river, to be
cin-ietl on the lrotir; anc also as to the description
of the horses ol' tho g tard.
Tho.Judge Advocate objected to the tcsritnouy
on the following grounds :
1st..It was competent for t!ia. defence to intr>>
duce testimony ns to the situation of tlie ground,
a3 part of their defence, and therefore it cannot
properly be introduced at the present stage of the
trial. --?
2. It is incompetent for them lo contradict Ed
.jnttud and Squire as to the brandy) as to the point
13 one wholly unimportant. It is also incompetent
for the samjy reason to contradict Edmund as to
the desoription of the soldiers' horses.
The' Court was cleared for deliberation, and on
being re-opened, the Judge Advocate ann?iincod
its decision, that the Commission allowed the wit- j
nesses to-l>e re-introduced.
Ephraim E, Dickinson a witness for the do'foncoj
being recalled, deposed as follows :
Oacof the horses of the guard at Brown's Forry
was a chesnut sorrel marc, one was a black marc,
and cac other was a bay horse. Tho soldiers of?
fered to swop horses, and this induced mo to no?
tice them.
ThU concluded tho testimony of wifness DicVin- j
sou, who then left the court room, and was suc?
ceeded by Jas. G. ELchardsou, ano.'her witness for
the defence, who was now re-inlrvdimvJ, and de?
posed as follows:
Stowers' brought some brandy to Brown's ;'<: ry
on Monday morning about 0 o'clock,-I don't kno w
exactly when'; there wore several there, ffrmlnng
of it; I don't know where he brought it from. 1
suppose it is about a mile aud a half from Stow?
ers'houso to the ferry, by the road. The 2 J-jl
.jtauds by Mr. Shiftlett's : whish is half a mile from
the river, and a mile from Mr. Stowers. I; is '
about half a mile from Stowers' to the futks of the I
Elbcrton find Hartwcll roads ; the ground may be a I
little rising from the forks of tho road to Mr. i
Stowers' house. "The ground U cleared from Mr. |
Stowers' to the meeting house, which it probabiyl
a quarter of a mile from Stowers' dywn !?> the river. !
This concluded tho testimony of witness Rich?
ardson, who left the court room.
Th": counsel for the accused announced that they

of parallel instances, proving conclusively that ihc
Southern press have been aclualedby a high eonsc
of duty iu denouncing abuses and correcting evils
growing out of the state of Ihc country : but we
were speak in]; of ihe difficulties in ihc way of
journalism at this time; and have only adverted to
these unjust charges to illustrate a single point of
the question, namely, that an independent course
brought censure upon the.pres--, instead oY eliciting
praise from those who are so blatahl for .universal
and unqualified freedom ! Our able and excellent
cotcmporary, the Charleston Next, has so fully
disposed of'iho subject before us that wo re-print
' its admirable remarks; The Xcrs, in r. recent edi?
torial, says:
" Tlierc are few of those concerned in Ihc ox
.pression of public sentiment at the South who are
not conscious of much embarrassment iu the proper
performance of their oliicc. It is not possible for
'them lo witness llic efforts mule by ihe Radical
! party at the North to drag, ihem down to greater
depths of ruin, without some feeling of natural
resent meat. Nor cau they speak of-that parly en?
gaged in the ta.;!: of dragooning the Government
to compliance'with their mumm er, in terms of per-1
feet courtesy and respect. They cannot witness-,
the ruin thai has been inflicted by fhe authorities!
of the Government?apparently gratuitous?nunc- j
cessary-at least; apparently"; to .the military ob?
jects contemplated?without a feeling of asperity
again.: these u lib were its immediate nmhors.?
Nor in their hearts, can they yet acknowledge that
they were wrong; that, charged wit it the trusts of
a firm of society commended to them by merits, it
was wrong to take ground for Us defence; or thai,
iu the theory of nur GoTerrimcht, there Was not
the recognition of ihnl sovereignty of States upon
vital questions which authorized, fi>r sufficient
cause, the resumptiqn of their dclegative powers;1
in li is state of feeling, liiere is the natural im?
pulse lo retoft, abuse, and still.to vindicate the ab
atract right of our fallen cause.
4i But, while this is so, there is still the eon
."?ciousncr.- tint ppwer is with our adversaries;
IU.il tiny have vindicated Iho right of their posi?
tion by at least the conclusive logic "of success;
thai we are, in fad, al mercy: that, if Ihc victors
shall accord rights tu us, ii will .he from consider?
ations'oririt crest, io themselves; without respect
lor our ftbiliiy to n-vert them: and that our utter?
ances of fooling' therefore, in this depressed con?
dition, are ns unbecoming ns flioy are impotent.?
V.'e are conscious a proper sense of self-respect re?
quires wc should bt'nd to the storm wc cannot
hnaat; that upon its .'??ii! arc incumbent the re?
sponsibility bfour own lives, and the lives and
well-being';6f our wives and children : and that in
just-rccpec't to these, it is fncu'm'behi -itpon ns lo
adogt no course of conduct, or form of language;
41ml may bo calculated (o impair our ability, or
defeat the efforts |>y which these remaining obli- I
trat ions may be mot.
'?So circumstanced, il is difficult for these who
speak at all, lo speak properly. And those whose,
office it is to addr< ss the public', co'ii?tn*itly find it
scarcely possible to no always right. Wc are onr
. o..:i-ciotis that much v.'e have said might
have been letter said, aiid much with propriety
t.milted. Il is noj Air us lo beard power. It is
not for us to repudiate lite acts of our people,
which we are conscious have been sustained by a
sentiment of patrTotism, as pure as ever fired the
human heart. Wc cannot, in 'conscience, lake,
success, however it may be Ihe criterion, lo be the
Iest of inur.it. Wo ciumoi declare our cau*-e. iu its
moral nature, to be diffcreul from wli.it it would
have been if it hall been crowned with triumph.?
Nor have we the simplicity lo Mi'pjioSo that such
repudiation of our cause and conduct will co'.n
mcu'!. us lo ihe hotter portion ef the adversary
] -.wer. Some there are, peinVaps, w;.o won! I bo
pleased at such a <Gi:rsc. but fee,- w.ni'.d believe us
sincere, or, ace:.ting iIi?? treason, would nut still
delect the traitor. They would have, littlo charity
for those who have had flgcncy iti the tearful ca?
lamities of the recent conflict v;ifhoul proper moral
motives to sualaili them, or who shrink in disaster
from their share of ihe responsibility that agency
''Iii'speaking, therefore, in the present condi?
tion of onr-JbrliiUcs, though there he much to bo
said, there is lirfle to be said lo advantage. We'
cannot assert ourselves without seeming to beard,
power :?Jb cannot always exhibit a jufct respect
for power without an .unbecoming abnegation of
ourselves; and, while we believe tiiat the.-pirit of
journalists at the South has hem admirable?while
they acccpi the si.uation, not from foiling, bul
?from (lie highen! rcn^c of ike moral obligation it
.imposes?it is not e.i: v for those, even under this
scmse of obli^at.iyiij to preserve the tone proper in
the occasion. There arc few who are satisfied,
wiih the utlerauccp of others, and few wr;o would
not gladly be relieved from the ncecssily of utter?
