Horace Porter, one ofGen. Grant’s staff: “The present State government was certainly in <ome danger previous to the Presidential election, -enator Barker had been shot and wounded badly, Upham of the lower house wounded, and Hinds, and McCand, a Freedman’s Bureau agent, killed, and other agents and a United States Marshal driv en from their posts by threats. The Governor, Sen ator Rice and others, had tosleep in the State House under guard, for fear of assassination. “The Governor wisely refrained from taking any violent measures until after the election, fearing the opposition might make capital out of it. .As soon as the election was over, however, he organized a militia force ofabout eight hundred men, cine-fourth' colored, under Gen. .Catterson, in, the southwest, and IJpham, in the northeast^-with' orders to'-live off the country, taking what was absolutely neces sary and giving vouchers. His intention is to pay : all loyal I olders of vouchers, and no others. Two assassins hsye;al ready beeri executed by Sentence of a military commission, seventeen others are in prison,, and a gr-at number have been run out of the State, But the best result J ean see is the’dis position of nearly all business men to voluntarily' enroll themselves as a posse, pledged to assist, the. arrest lawless characters, if tlie-Gdverhor will jelisvg-them fr,om marshal law.; j'He\has'- sac cepted many such pledges, and martial law now exists.in parts of but.seven counties., “ The United States troops do not know the peo ple and, the',country. ££]s have, while the U. S. troops are in the vicinity, and it breaks out worse than ever; when' they leave. Thte rebels are, generally anxious to have them, as it creates an expenditure 3f ihbheyrnMieir'midat from which they reap a benefit. The militia punishes all the "disloyal and' extorts pledges frbm’ themyto sujk, port the laws. As these people have threatened to breakmprh’e State Government as soon.,aa the.U-' S.'troops are removed, this teaches them That tlie State is able to protect itsel f. The militia has been under tolerably good control, and the plundering: reported in the press is the taking of supplies under orders. The Governor’s policy has, no doubt, seriously interfered’with business where martial law has been proclaimed, and injured" business men of all parties, hence the opposition from loyalists. It has inter fered with travel taken off-hands for the militia at a season when they are badly needed, and created many paniga, ( It,however, has accomplished much more good'than* the most sattgulne u e‘xpeeted ; and Gen.jfSipith [-acknowledges.; that he thoughtrtbqtGo vernor’s judgment was better than his own, and that the result would fully justify the action of the form er.
