Day—Exciting Scenes in
Fenian Prison Life—-A
Fight and Attempt to
Burn the Jail, &c.
rconespondence of the N. Y. Tribone.]
Sweetsbttbg, Dec. 4.— The Court opened
this morning at 10 o’clock, and has been
occupied all day with the trial of Einery
Chamberlain, for a murder committed in
the township of Potton, on the 2d of August
last. It adjourned at 41 o’clock, without
having finished this case, which will proba
bly occupy the whole of to-morrow.
Mr. Deylin, of Montreal, counsel for the
reman prisoners, arrived here this morning.
Gen. AveriU, United States Consul-General
for British America, is expected here to
morrow afternoon, to watch the trials on
behalf of his Government The Grand Jury
had the indictments against the Fenian
prisoners submitted to them at 11 o’clock
this forenoon, and were' at work on them
tul 6 o’clock. They will probably make
their presentment to-morrow, and the per
sons against whom true bills may be found
will then be arraigned. Their counsel is
ready to proceed at once with the trials
if is believed, will commence
on Thursday afternoon, as the mur
aer case will then have been disposed of.
, whole of Thursday will, in aU proba
bility, be occupied with legal arguments,
it is understood that the exception to the
jurisdiction of the Court contends that pro
vincial courts are not competent to'try
charges of high treason. Counsel will ob
ject also, it is said, to the act under which
they are to be tried, contending that it is
not within the power of a parliament of a
mere dependency of the Empire to enact
laws defining what shall constitute high
treason. And thirdly it will be urged that
the prisoners cannot be tried under an ex
post facto law. The offences were commit
ted in June, and the act, in its present
shepe, did not become a law until the 15th
of August, the act of June 8 having been
amended and superseded by another sub
sequently introduced.
The prisoners had a lively time this after
noon. Two of them, Crawford and Dan
Coburn, had a fight in the Fenian ward,and
Coburn, who is a powerfully built man,
punished his antagonist badly. They be
gan to fight with fists, and finally Coburn
knocked the other down and kicked him ia
the face, damaging bis nose, and nearly
knocking out one of his eyes with the toe of
his boot. The difficulty, according to one
story, arose out of a discussion between the
iwo as to which had rendered the greater
service to the Fenian cause, Crawford’s
version of it is that the subject of dispute
was whether the parties who attempted to
kidnap Geo. Sanders were acquitted or not,
fiesajs also that the difficulty was aggra
vated by a reference to an old gambling
transaction in which Coburn had lost some
money to him. Cobum applied to him a
very opprobrious epithet, and the fight then
began.
The jailor and his assistants having enter
ed the ward, secured Coburn and removed
mm to a solitary cell, in another part of the
jail, where he will be fed on bread and wa
ter, and deprived of his allowance of to
bacco.
Scarcely had this affair been disposed of,
when it was followed by a new excitement.
About a quarter of aa hour afterward, the
jailor entered the ward, to lock up the pris
oners for the night; he found the do >r of an
inner compartment of the ward shut; on
opening it, he discovered one of the pris
oners, Thomas Madden, in the very act
apparently of attempting to set lire to the
jail. He had tilled one of the tin cops used
as coffee cups with burning coals from the
stove, and had it set on the floor under the
ash-pan. The theory is that he wanted to
>et hre to the floor or more probably that he
was to carry the coals to his cell and set fire
to the bed clothes in the hope that in the
confusion caused by an alarm of fire the
prisoners might succeed in effecting an es
cape. Madden’s story is that he wanted to
light his pipe.
Orders have been given that in future two
fir three policemen shall remain in the ward
wilh the prisoners to preserve order and
orevent the repetition of any attempt at in
cendiarism. ,
All is quiet in the village. There are
very few straDgers from the United States.
Perhaps there will be more when the trials
commence. Meanwhile the capabilities of
this and the neighboring village of Cowders
ville to provide board and sleeping-room
for the crowd of officials, military officers,
policemen, and others who have been at
tracted here by the trials, are taxed to the
very utmost.
Buffalo, Dec. 4.— Fenian military com
panies are parading the streets with ban
ners and music. The arms which were
seized by the U. S. steamer Michigan dur
ing the raid last summer, it is announced,
are to be delivered to the owners at 2 o’clock,
P. M. The bonds required by the United
States Government were signed this morn
ing. Fenians are constantly drilling by
companies in different parts of the city and
neighborhood.

The poor fellow not sein it wuz a joke took
an ounce or two, and need I state the result?
He sleeps in the valley. Nigger suffrage,
; wichisrank pizen, wood end the troubles of
the Dimocrfsy, but wooden’t it end Dimo
cnsy also? We mite die gracefully ez Dimo
crats. but wood our resurrection ez Ablish
lmsts be certain? Wooden’t the people when
we ware wunst entombed, forget to awa
ken us ? r
My objections are these :
1. We can’t gobble Ablishen votes with
nigger suffrage, for the reason thatef the
people desire it they’d probably go to the in
ventors thereof, that they might be ashoored
uv gettin the genooine article,
v 2. We can’t get the nigger after he is Tnan
and a brother. The Times’ Idee is, we’d
ketch em on the score that the trash nater-
Mly gravitates to us. We are too'latefor
this. The nigger jus now is lookin up—
not down, and ef the tax wuz taken off uv
whisky, so ezto bring that essanaht to Dim
ocrauc success wunst more within our
means, and we shood devote ourselves en
thoosiasbcally to the work, we wooden’t
be able to get ’em down to our level in
twenty years.
Afore that time I Bhel hev gone into that
other world wher polytix wont trouble me,
and ef the orthodox relijus beleefs uv the
day is correct, in thedepartment of thetother
world in wieh I shel pull up, there will be a
strong Democratic majority.
Its'instant releef we need, and ef life is
ever pumped into the carcass afore ns, it
must be done to wunst. I hev an ijee for

of us who are fit for Congress, and also re
: peel the test oath, and immejitly let John

We have ten States out.wich we kin depend
upon. Kentucky, Delaware and Maryland
make thirteen,and Mexico kin be cut up into
twenty more, or thirty , for that matter,

V ery good to admit it, and what do we want
uv voters who kin understand us? The
downfall of Democrisy commenst, the mlnit
the people begun to understand us. So long
tz they took things on trust, it wuz all right,
but when they begun to question, the jig
wuz up. Intelligence is a good thing in tne
austrack, but yon must be moderit in its
yoose.
Enuff uv us wood hev to emigrate thither,

TT e l«Shlar monthly meeting of the New

Andress, appointed Governor General of
New England, including New York
and New Jersey, in 1688, By King James
;11, presenting him as the zealous servant
of his royal master, but not the minim?
bigot and tyrant he is usually represented.
The Intrigues in England ef Sir William
Phipps and Doctor Mather were noticed at
some length, and the opposition of Massa
chusetts to the Governor’aexpedition against
the tribes on the Penobscot, the proclama
tion prepared by theyonnger Doctor Math
er, in which he was represented as seeking
to bring that colony under the jurisdiction
of a foreign power, and intending a general
massacre of the inhabitants,and his final ar
rest and imprisonment, were rather severely
animadverted upon. The speaker said
there was certainly no foreign power threat
ening Massachusetts except the French Ca
nadians and the Indians, and these Gover
nor Andross had done all in big power to I
suppress, while it was a fact carefully con
cealed that when he proposed to his Coun
cil to go eastward with the forces sent from
Boston into Maine, the proposition - was not
opposed by a single member. Massachu
setts, he said, destroyed the consolidated
New "England of which he was almost im
perial master, leaving only the name,
but New York, which has
always had something distinctive, histori
cally, geographically and socially, though
mortified at being annexed to New England
by the removal of Dungan and the appoint
ment of Andross, did nothing to destroy the
government which James had founded and
which it was the policy of William of Or
ange to maintain. Pennsylvania wa3 not I
included in the consolidated Government,
because its proprietor was a ready tool of
his royal master.
Andy as an Historian.
General Butler, in his recent New York
speech, incidentally alluded to a defect i-i
the historical education of A. J„ evinced by
hia asking an audience, in one of his “circle”
speeches, “Would they take off my head,
as they did the head of dames the Second?”
A friend of the President, in the courso of
conversation at the White House, the other
day, called his attention to this, and asked
him if it wasn’t a mistake of the reporters,
by which he was made to say James the
Second lost his head. “Certainly it is ”
said Andy. “The whole press of the coun
try seemed to be bought up to misrepresent
said, and to make me appear
ridiculous in the eyes of the world. I
never said that James the Second lost his
head. It was Charles the Second I spoke of.
For which Andy will, as Captain Cuttle
says, overhaul the book, and when found,
make a note on’t. His Excellently was evi'
aentiy trying to think, when he made the
speech from which Butler quotes, of that
memorable reply of Mr. Lincoln’s, during
the Hampton Hoads conference, when he
expressed a doubt as to his right to make
terms with the rebels, and it was answered
that Charles the First had offered to do so.
“ Well,” said Mr. Lincoln, “you must talk
to Seward about historical matters" of that
kind; all I recollect of that affair is that
Charley lost his head for it.” Andy’a at
tempt to correct the “mischievons misre
presentations” of the reporter in this case
reminds me of the young gentleman in a
debating society, who, having made the
mistake of speaklDg of the Panic wars as
“that great struggle between the Grecians
and the 'Eomans,” subsequently begged
pardon for the lapsus livguce, and said he
meant, Dot the Grecians and the Romans,
but the “Grecians and the Lacedemonians.”
Our beloved President is not a quotable au
thority in history, except such as pertains
to the “tribunes of tue people.” These re
markable powers having disappeared from
Rome some centuries since, to reappear in
Greenville, Tennessee, at this late day, A.

letin, speaking of the Northern Copperhead
advocacy of negro suffrage, says: The secret
of all these movements, in which so many
papers participate, is to get rid of giving the
North something it does want by giving it
something it does not want. It does not
want negro suffrage, which is offered, but it
does want the disqualifioation from ofSc9 of
the old confederate leaders. This disquali
fication is inevitable, and if negre suffrage
is given by the South, the other demand will
, be just as firmly insisted upon. But if the
amendment is adopted, negro suffrage will,
our opinion, not be required.
Political papers make many calculations
about the effect of measures ou party exist

wfr S R 6 ff^ trate u by guerillas during the
war. His name became a terror to whole
counties, and brave men have been known
wroES 1 at tt ? bare naenUon of this
wretch, such was the dread which the oat
, rageS committed by himself and a few com
panions had inspired. This desperSto
h« «^f n K lai i d - deeds wdfiong
be remembered m not a few local!ties-of the
e 4,V° rUon of , lhe State < only about
twemy-iouryearsofage. His family reside
near Paris, Henry counly, and have the
Z!f°n° f f b ? g honest hard w£rkin|
people. His father was at one time a min,
ister of the gospel. W. F. Diggs, aac h ilthe
true name °f the son, who hS passK
f‘s” en ‘ times by dilferent aliases, entered
p°?f edera ? e about twelve months
i ibf.PP®? 111 ? of the war, and served
*5 a nuE oher of regiments.
At the battle <.f _ Stone Elver he received
the medal as being the bravest man of his
command. Shortly after the'fight at Mur
freesboro, Diggs abandoned his regiment,
aua joined a notorious gang of guerillas
by one SSS
Phillips’ Guerillas. From this rime on
mfn los U n tfie cruel andinhn
man wretrii whose delight was rapine and
j plunder. In the pursuit of booty, especially
.money, he has beeai known to proposeand
; execute almost unheard-of tortures. In Seo
tember of 1864, Diggs and several others &
die above-mentioned gang captured six
Federal soldiers at Johnsonville, took them
out Bear Paris, and shot the last man in cold
Mood; after stripping the slain, and clothing
themselves in the still reeking and blood v
garments of their victims, tney mounted
then: horses and rode like madmen through
of the town, with drawn weapons, i
sweanng they would kill any one who i
shondd speak a word against their conduct.
About the same time Diggs was impli
catedm some terrible outrages committed
m Carroll county. A small party, of which
be was one, visited the house of Edward
Gwm, a well-known citizen, and reported
quite wealthy. They bound the old genUe
man in a helpless condition and then pro
ceeded to inflict cruel tortures for the pur
pose of making him discover where his mo
ney was concealed. They burned his feet
and ears, and tortured him in the most
savage manner with hot irons. FiomGwin
they took one thousand five hundred dol
lars, and from another man named Frank
Thomas, three hundred more.
Shortly after this some of Hood’s or For
rest’s command chased this notorious gang
iromtbe country, and succeeded in cap
turing nvo of them, Lucer and McKinsev
who were court-martialed and hung a/I
terwards ibe Independent Company of
Coniederates, commanded by Petty
Jones, captured and killed two more of this
infamous gang. The Federals at Johnson
ville also succeeded at various times in dis
posing of several more. “Pudd Di ms ”
cowever, was too shrewd for them 3 and
succeded-slways in eluding their grasp.
: At the close of the war attempts were
made to arrest this young desperado for the
outrages committed in Carroll county. It
was during these efforts that Diggs met the
Deputy Sheriff of Henry county, Frederick
Irvin, while that official was searching after
him, and shot the man dead in the road.
After this act, Diggs left the country and
went to Louisiana. He staid some time at
Port Hudson, and afterwards proceeded to
Aew Orleans, and then to Jacksoh, Missis
sippi. After several months spent in wan
dering about the country, he returned to
Tennessee about five months ago and
has been living for some time past -near
Shelbyviile,\with a tnan named Webb
?r er , e ,? e b»s been going to school. To
blind the authorities of Henry county, his
letters were postmarked from different
places so as to lead them astray. At last
however they succeeded in locating him at
Shelbyville. About three weeks ago two
men went from Paris to Shelbyville to ar
rest Diggs, but he learned of their design
the country, after writing
a letter to a newspaper. After writ
es the letter, Diggs it seems con
eluded to leave the country, and pack-
HS h‘ 3 baggage shipped it by express to
Nashville, under the name of J. H.Harbon.
The sheriff of Bedford county, Joe Thomp
son, learning of his departure, telegraphed
at once to the City Marshal here to be on
the lookout, and on Tuesday mornino-
Diggs was arrested at the office of the
Adams. Express, just as he was inquiring
for his baggage, Officers Ambrose, Xignor
and Sturdivant having been on the lookout
for him nearly all night.
Word was at once sent to the authorities
of Henry county, and Sheriff Jno. C. Porter
came to the city to look after the prisoner.
It has been deoided to confine him in the
county jail here until next'January, when
court sits at Paris, Henry county.
