WEAVER'S BRUTAL CRUELTY
TESTIMONY OF ONE WHO W1TNES8KD
IT IN TENNESSEE.
Atlanta Journal.
Tallapoosa, Ga, Aug. 23.
To the Editor of the Journal)
I see in your issue of Saturday,
the 20th inst., an extract from let
ter written by an old citizen of Pu
lacki, Tennj aUo a copy of clip
ping froir the Giles Coaoty Demo
crat of the 20th of July, t hnrging
General Weaver, the People's prty
candidate for President, nitli beastly
cruelty towards the citizens of Pn
I.iskl and Giles county while in com
mandofthe Union army at that
place in 18G4 .
I oan fully substantiate a number
of the crargea contained therein, and
could add many others of like char
acter, all from my own recollection
Although quit young at the time
such a tale ol terror as we were kept
in by this brute in human form made
an indellihlc impression upon my
mind.
My father, Dr. Perkins, was living
in Pulaski at thl time. Our bouse,
my grandmother (Mrs. Dr. Ordway,
oow of Nashrille), and M ij. Jonef, a
relative of ours, were ued as officers'
quarters. We were all subjected to
many insults. Maj.' Jones' family
were ordered out of taeir bouse at
about 12 o'clock on a bittr cold
oiaht in December. They were not
allowed time to dress. Mrs. Jones
had to wrap her sick cbild in bed
clothing and car red it in her arms to
a neighbor's house. Many acts of
barbarous cruelty committ'd on my
relatives and fhieud are fr:sb in my
memory. Men of the highest stand
ing, both young and oil, were thrown
into prison, kspt there for months
and some shot down like dogs with
n:rer a charge entered against
them.
Ladies were insulted on the streets
it was indeed a reign of terror.
Such acts of vandalism arid crime I
have never even read of in a civilized
country. All of it was done by the
order, or with consent of, Gen.
Wearsr.
Mrs. Annie E H all.
Thai Wife.
Smith "I was sorry to hear
Brown, that yov have failed in bnsi,
nees."
Brown "Yes, I struggled bard
but I lost everything, save my honor,
and the property I was wise enough
to settle on my wife when I fonnd
myself getting into trouble.

It is by no mean well under

country of North Carolina. The
saw mill is steadily creeping up tb

desert behind it. It is prudent to
take the alarm now when the
mifchief is not beyond remedy, and
not to wait until not even time and

in the questiou. He otters as tne
solution of the problem the sugges

the Yellow stoue, the Yosemlte and

anxious to gather together the lar
gest possible number of measurement
of the finest trees standing either ir
the forest or in the open, in order
to incorporate them in the pamphlet.
It should be'a (patter of pride with
our citizens to see that the trees of
this section are folly represented, for
an attempt will be made to connect
the measurement of all remarkable
frees, with the names of the localities
in which they grew. The only wsy
to accomplish this end is to send the
dimensions of remarkably fine trees
of any speci s growing In the State,
to the Agent aiiore mentioned. In
doing eo send actual measurements
in preference to guesses, and gire the
following dimensions whenever pos
sible. The circumference or diame
ter at four feet above the ground,
the height of the trunk the first
branches, the height of the whole tree,
aid its spread, if that is a noteworthy
feature. Be careful to locate each
trre exactly, so that the Agent may
bare no difficulty in finding it later
if it should be thought well to pho
tograph it.
Trees "taoding in the forest are
preferred to those which have grown
n the operj; but measurement of any
Que trees will be welcome and useful'
especially so wben the age of the
tree is accurately known. Not only
measurement, but all accurate i forma
tion concerning the trees of the State
will be of great value to Mr Pincbot,
and it is earnestly requested that
those who have special information
at hand, or who are willog to collect
it will communicste at once with him,
