<p><strong>Military Order--The Riot at Millican to be Investigated</strong></p>
<p>We copy as follows from Special Orders No. 159, issued on Saturday last by Gen. Buchanan:</p>
<p>Upon the recommendation by Brevet Maj. Gen. J. J. Reynolds, commanding District of Texas, B. Rush Plumley, is hereby appointed Alderman for the city of Galveston, Texas <em>vice </em>Elias Smith, declined.</p>
<p>Brevet Lieut. Col. W. T. Gentry, Captain Seventeenth Infantry, Acting Assistant Inspector General, Fifth Military District will proceed to Millican, Texas, and return, under special instructions from the Brevet Major General commanding.</p>
<p>The readmission of the State of Louisiana into the Union, renders the detail of two officers as Secretaries of Civil Affairs unnecessary--Brevet Lieut. Col. W. t. Gentry, Captain Seventeenth Infantry, will therefore be relieved from the duties of Secretary of Civil Affairs, Fifth Military District, by Brevet Major B. B. Keeler, First Lieutenant Thirty-ninth Infantry, who will take charge of all papers and records belonging to the office.</p>

A Regular War.-- It would appear from the newspaper accounts of the late negro riot in Texas, that the negroes there have recently declared war against the whites, and that the latter (including the military) have conceded to them the rights of belligerents, and granted to them the privileges and immunities usually accorded to regular forces in the field under national auspices. Pickets have been established, and <em>flags of truce </em>have passed between the contestants, in order that they might <em>bury their dead. </em>This most singular state of affairs has caused the wildest excitement to exist throughout the State, and one of the attendant rumors (generally spread) was to the effect that the "Constitutional" Convention intended to disarm all the whites, arm all the negroes, and thus force the ratification of the Constitution about to be manufactured, and establish negro supremacy upon the basis of both law and brute force. It is a terrible state of things, truly. What will be the ultimate result of this marvellous condition of affairs no one can foresee.

Armed Rebellion
The accounts which we have received of the riot at Millican are not very clear as to the oirgin of the difficulty, but it is very clear that there has been a wanton butchery and sacrifice of human life. From fifty to sixty men are reported to have been killed. How many have been wounded unto death or disabled from pursuing their daily labor, has not been sated. Has any sufficient cause been shown for this waste of life? The accounts state that a negro had been hung, and that a body of his friends had gathered together to arrest the murderers. Is it an offence against society or against the laws to arrest men guilty of the crime of murder? It seems that is so. The deputy Sheriff met this crowd, and instead of using them as a posse, to effect the arrest, he endeavored to dissuade them from carrying out their design. Failing to do this, he goes to work and raises an armed force of twenty-five men, and returning to the scene of action, a fight ensues. The crowd endeavoring to make the arrest of the murderers were all Negroes. The posse of the deputy Sheriff were all white. The white allege that they were fired upon, and acted in self defence, and under the legal authority of the Sheriff. The result is that from fifty to sixty Negroes were killed, but not a single white man has been killed or injured, as far as we are informed. This is certainly conclusive proof that the Negroes began the difficulty! The accounts also state that two railroad trains were seized and that large bodies of armed whites were sent from Bryan and other points to Millican. Recently, an armed force of two hundred whites surrounded an officer of the United States, in Freestone county, and rescued some prisoners from his hands. On the 4th of July, at Jefferson city, an armed force of some three hundred men took possession of the place, fortified the houses, and picketed the roads leading to the city. What means all this? It is simply armed rebellion againt the government The rebels of Texas are to day better armed, and better organized than they were during the late Civil war. They are looking forward to the presidential election, and the refusal to count the "white man's" electoral votes of the Southern States, which they propose to elect in informal elections, as they did the delegates to the secession convention in Texas in 1860, as furnishing the time and occasion for the renewal of the rebellion under the auspices of the President of the United States. That is what all this means. The rebellion may be said to be upon us. We are standing on the very verge of the precipice, and we may be precipitated into rebellion even before the appointed time.
And as a precursor of what is to come, men openly advise, in the public prints of the State, the assassination of loyal men, simply because they are loyal! When Titus and his legions were thundering at the gates of Jerusalem, the Jews in the citadel were cutting each others' throats. Shall the Republicans of Texas follow the same suicidal course? Is it not time that our foolish quarrels were laid aside, and that we prepare to meet our common enemy who have only curses and anathemas for both our houses? A divided army never won a victory over a united foe. We must unite not only to save our cause, but to save our lives from a Millican butchery.

Capt. Barmlett makes a second report on the Millican affair. It will be remembered that we quoted the other day from a paper which said that if he did not take back his first report, certain disreputable acts of his in connection with the riot would be exposed. He has not taken them back. He corrects his statement about the firing of the first gun, saying that at the time he charged it upon Holiday he had not seen the affidavits of Mayor Wheat and Deputy Sheriff Potilla which were furnished Col. Gentry. Very likely he had not, but he was in constant incercourse with these gentlemen during the whole progress of the riot, and it is impossible to suppose that if they then knew the gun to have been fired by a freedman that they would not have told him so. Either the Captain knew that the first gun was fired by a freedman when the stated that holiday fired it, or he did not believe the statements of the Mayor and Deputy Sheriff, to whose statements he now gives crelence under pressure

<p>Colored Democrats.--Great efforts are being made by the Conservatives to form Democratic Clubs of colored men. At Galveston they succeeded in getting sixteen colored men out of nine hundred; it was a failure. We learn that in some of the worst rebel districts of the State, the colored people have joined Democratic Clubs to protect their lives.</p>
<p>What strange arguments the Conservatives use to induce the colored men to join their party. They say they are the best friends of the colored men, and at the same time declare against giving him[sic] the vote, and whenever they get an excuse murder them by the wholesale, as was the case at Millican the other day. No. Mr. Conservative, you cannot convince the colored people by such arguments of your friendship and sincerity.</p>

<p><strong>General Massacre of Negroes at Millican.</strong></p>
<p><strong><br /></strong>We learn through the Houston papers there there was a fearful slaughtering of the colored poeople in and around Millican, on the 15th and 16th. The number killed is variously estimated from fifteen to fifty. It is impossible to arrive at the true cause of the difficulty from any report we have yet seen. We hope to be able to throw some light on the subject to-morrow.</p>

Later accounts from Millican represent that the riot is not ended. The negroes have sent a defiant reply to the orders to disperse. There was but a small force of soldiers at the scene.

<p>Ranger's Home, Tex. Aug. 5, '68.</p>
<p><em>Editor's Gazette</em>:--Sir--If I alone were interested I would treat with silent contempt the foul slanders and unblushing lies, which members of the Radical party are circulating respecting my course as a man and member of the Democratic party, but humble as my position is under the reign of Radical rule, and humble as I feel it to be among our own honest people, these slanders are being made use of to effect, prejudicially, the party to which I belong, and through that party, the public welfare of the country.</p>
<p>Not one word that I have ever said or written, privately or publicly, could be construed by any honesy minded man to a threat of personal violence of an aggressive character towards any member of the Radical party.</p>
<p>As they regard negroes their equals and I regard negroes as my inferiors, I could not very well afford to come in personal contact with any of them, and not being a "bully," or "brag" would not like to threaten a man whom I would be compelled to refuse to recognise as an equal.</p>
<p>Those who have known me longest and known me best, know that I have never committed of countenanced an act of "Lynch Law," or disregard of the civil authorities of the country, and my opposition to <em>secret political </em>associations, or organizations, has been too well known and publicly expressed. [sic] (especially the Loyal Leagues) to need refutation, but in order to protect ourselves, our property, and the lives of our wives and children, I have <em>publicly</em> urged, and <em>now urge</em> the true conservative men of the country to organize themselves <em>thoroughly</em> and <em>secretly</em> if <em>ne</em>cessary, and prepare for defence against the attacks of the loyal leagues or poor, ignorant, misguided negores, who are pushed on by irresponsible, cowardly, white villains, to commit outrages on the whites, in order to get up material for the political campaign; and the conflict between the races which lately occurred at Millican, presents but too clear a proof of the <em>indispensable necessity of prompt action</em> on these suggestions. While this is so, I do not counsel or advise rashness, indiscretion, or aggression, but calm, firm, determined resistance to all wrongs, and defence of our rights, and especially of our families, honor, lives and property, against any and all persons or organizations, who may attempt to trespass upon them without authority of law.</p>
<p>The civil laws of the country, if faithfully administered, and efficiently enforced, would give sufficient protection to the rights, lives and property of every citizen or resident of the country, white and black, without the interposition of the loyal leagues, or any other organization, and while they were administered by <em>honest </em>men, selected by those who are most deeply interested in the public good, they <em>did </em>give this portection as effectually as is usually done in countries as new and sparsely settled as many portions of our State [sic], or even in older portions of the United States, and I am perfectly satisfied if the military authorities will restore the officers they have removed, discontinue agents of the "Freedman's Bureau" and disband the loyal leagues, that law and order will be resotred, and crime and lawlessness promptly punished throughout the State. The enforcement of the laws will then be in the hands of efficient officers in the main, known to the poeople of the country as reliable and trustworthy, and the citizens will be responsible for their conduct, and are willing to be so held, but while the offices are filled by men who have no sympathies with or regard for the welfare of the people among whom they simply live, as <em>masters</em>, whose political prejudices will not enable them to look upon a late rebel as anything less than a <em>demon</em>, sent from the region of darkness, and who can look upon a carpet-bagger, radical, scallawag or negro as not inferior to an angel sent from the regions of the blessed, and negroes not only equals, but superiors, socially and politically, to any true Southern gentleman, no sensible man can expect the men of character in the country to take any interest in the management of its affairs. They cannot do so without sacrificing their self-respect by associating in many instance with me holding office by appointment, who are <em>known</em> to be <em>dishonest</em>, contemptible and mean, but the evils of our country will soon be corrected; the Democratic party will soon triumphantly overthrow the Radical party, in these United States, and especially in Texas, and the Government, both Federal and State, soon fall into the hands of the true, honest and faithful men of the country, and the political atmosphere of Texas becoming too pure for the carpet-baggers and scallawags who now infest it, they will leave it, and the negro, having no one to poison his mind and embitter his feelings towards the whites, will live in perfect peace among us, though he wil be worth by little to himself, and less to society.</p>
<p>As I do not expect to appear often in print, I will take occasion to say in conclusion, that white men established and have maintained this Government, that it is a white man's country, which is entitled to, and <em>must </em><em>have</em>, a white man's Government, under the control of white voters, and officers elected by them, and that I am utterly opposed to negro suffrage in any form, as it must lead ultimately to negro equality, to which I <em>never will quietly submit</em>.</p>
<p>The negroes are <em>free</em>, made so by the triumph of the arms of the United States, in the hands of overwhelming numbers, and they now should have and <em>must have</em> all the protection necessary to secure them in their lives, persons, and <em>undisturbed </em>possession and free use of their property; but they are in no condition to exercise the privilege of voters, nor do I believe they ever will be, and to confer it upon them would only be placing them in the hands of vicious men to be used as pliant tools, and thereby endanger the liberties of the country, or be the cause of involving us in a war of race, which no man would more deeply deplore than myself.</p>
<p>Yours truly,</p>
<p>Henry E. McCulloch.</p>

N. H. Randlett, carpet-bagger and Bureau agent at Bryan, published a report of the riot at Millican, in which, as usual with that gentry, the true state of affairs is never mentioned, but a garbled lying report is substituted in its stead. The sheriff of the county has since made a report, in which he gives the carpet-bagger some pretty hard knocks, convicts him of falsehood, etc., and winds up by saying that he (Randlett) was drunk the whole time.
