About the middle of June, two colored soldiers (at a house in Washington county) showed their papers and were permitted to remain all night. In the morning the planter called them out and shot one dead, wounded the other, and then with the assistance of his brother (and their negro dogs) they pursued the one who had escaped. He ran about three miles and found a refuge in a white man's house, who informed the pursuers that he had passed. The soldier was finally got across the river, but has not been heard of since. At Bladen Springs, (or rather, six miles from there,) a freedman was chained to a pine tree and _burned to death_. About two weeks after, and fifteen miles from Bladen, another freedman was burned to death. In the latter part of May, fifteen miles south of Bladen, a freedman was shot _outside_ of the planter's premises and the body dragged into the stable, to make it appear he had shot him in the act of stealing. About the first of June, six miles west of Bladen, a freedman was hung. His body is still hanging. About the last of May, three freedmen were coming down the Bigbee river in a skiff, when two of them were shot; the other escaped to the other shore. At Magnolia Bluff (Bigbee river) a freedman (named George) was ordered out of his cabin to be whipped; he started to run, when the men (three of them) set their dogs (five of them) on him, and one of the men rode up to George and struck him to the earth with a loaded whip. Two of them dragged him back by the heels, while the dogs were lacerating his face and body. They then placed a stick across his neck, and while one stood on it the others beat him until life was nearly extinct. About the first of May, near ---- landing, in Choctaw county, a freedman was hung; and about the same time, near the same neighborhood, a planter shot a freedman, (who was talking to one of his servants,) and dragged his body into his garden to conceal it. A preacher (near Bladen Springs) states in the _pulpit_ that the roads in Choctaw county stunk with the dead bodies of servants that had fled from their masters. The people about Bladen _declare_ that _no negro_ shall live in the county unless he remains with his _master_ and is as obedient as heretofore. In Clark county, about the first of June, a freedman was shot through the heart; his body lies unburied. About the last of May, a planter hung his servant (a woman) in presence of all the neighborhood. Said planter had _killed_ this woman's husband three weeks before. This occurred at Suggsville, Clark county. About the last of April, two women were caught near a certain plantation in Clark county and hung; their bodies are still suspended. On the 19th of July, two freedmen were taken off the steamer Commodore Ferrand, tied and hung; then taken down, their heads cut off and their bodies thrown in the river.
