Paine, 1 at Gallatin, Tennessee, thoso who did not Witness tho barbarous deeds comtniltod, and the wholesale robbery T! property, willscarcely believe human nature so corrupt when the stubborn facts are revealed and ' made known to tho world. Tho writer dues not know ! . Iiowpr where to begin to nialoi known the many base i 1 and vile nets of this little despot, as lie has been recent- j ^ ly styled by the Hon. Balie Peyton, atKashvillo. From j the beginning ot this man's reign at Gallatin, his cruelty and barbarity to men, women and children lias no ; j" precedent or parallel in history. His coarse and vul- j gar Abuse of them was revolting to any person claim- i 1 ing to-bo a gentleman. His lmbit was to have ladies ; I of tlio highest respectability arrested and brought into ; his prosoucc, and such profanity and language as were j uttered by him to them would not do to he published j v in a respectable newspaper. Tho writer will proceed j 1 to detail some of tho deeds (and only ? few of thq, inn- ! " ny) perpetrated by this monster in human ahajV: There was a lady of rospec ability, whujivod in Gal- ! latin, who had al'ttlo daughter to die. H<>r house had 1 ^ been taken from liornnd occupied, and she was staying j 0 with a friend at the lime she made an application to jn General Faino, through friends, to be permitted to carry j ^ ^ . the remains of her child to Hartsvillo for ir.ter.uoru, a | place held sacred by her as the family burial ground. I N Vfris was most positively deiiied and refused her ; and \ v General Pnine sent a message to her to send lor her j 1 "d?d rebel husband," then in the rebel army, to coino''i 1 mm iHR-o it anu oury it. Olio was tprced to have it 1 buried in Gallnlin, and wns domed tFio privilege ol'attending her little daughter's burial, not half a mile dis- , tnnt. A gentleman, who lost In-' wife in Gallatin, was re fused tho privilege of nt-tending her burial, not a quarter of a mile from his residence, and the graveyard is within the-hues of tho post. There arc many persons in Gallatin <vho can testily to these facts. The property of the people was taken?horses, mules, cows, sheep, hogs, provonder of all kinds, household ! and kitehqn furniture. * * * ***#*? During General Paine'a stay in Gallatin, it was not uufrequently tho case that a squad of soldiers was seen to tako a prisoner out of jail and go oft'with him, but return without him. Tins was vjiQn tinned lor sonic months Perhaps the prisoner v 'prisoners carried t IV ,' wore strangers to tlio citizens of Gallatin ; hut should j f an investigation bo had, tho fate of these men might Lc } ascertained. ' ' I ' The longor General Paine continued nt tho post the j 1 more bloody he became, and linally ho publicly boast- | ' ed of having Febel soldiers and private citizens, who | 1 were prisoners, shot. Tho people became terrified, and l ' were afraid to oppose liiin in anything he thought proper to do. Sucii a reign of terror as prevailed among tho people of Sumner county has noYor been witnessed* in tbi&or any other uge. Some few persons proposed to go- to Nashville to see General Rosseau upon the i subject of their grionvnee ; but whenever this was Aiif lv?? ?* * ' 1 ,vm.v. wy uruiiuiui x-aino iney wero sought out as victims of his vengeance, and wore threatened with a eevore punishment. . Thiscourao was kepi up liiitil the . people we're airtud to- murmur or complain at any j act he thought proper to commit, o^ any order ho is- \ sued. He'aaid 011 ono occasion l? a substantial and respectable citizen of Sumner county, (a Union man,) j t who complained of his taking of his property, thai if; J Gon? Iiofjscau dared to uudo what lie had douche would j ^ liavo liipj remored'. t Th? writer is familiar with tho cases of several rebel ! ( soldiers vthp wore captured as prisoners of war, some | i of tbom hold for weeks, and oilient only for a short 1 t time, and thon shot in tho most brutal manner, by order of General Paino, without even tho farce of a trial, and , their bodies left to rot, tho citizens fearing to bury them lest a similar fate should overtake them. These j 1 rebels, thus summarily oxecuted, may liavo been bad j j men,, but having been taken and held as prisoners, i ( they- wore certainly entitled to tho formality of a trial. The casq o? a. boy, named Lafayette Hughes, tifleen yoarpofago, charged with being with somo guerillas | I who.burnt a bridge across Goose Creek, at Maddou's i Mill, between Ilartsvillo and Carthage, deserves men- ! < tion. Tho brid^o was burned in tho daytime. Air. j j Madden, tho owner of the mill, was present, an<3 used ; every means lie could to prevent thorn from bnrniug ; ^ it. If this little boy had had the benefit of the trial, i ' 1. 1 J I * no cuuiu iiuve provcu uy Mr. Maddon tlu\t lie was not , 1 present on tho occasion, lint, perhaps, sonic negro , reported that ho was present, and this wns suflicient j. with Gen. Paine. Tho boy was taken prisoner, carried some ton miles, ! ^ find near Mr. II. S. Martin's, on Gallatin and llartsvillo ; ^ pike, taken otVa short distance lYoin tho road, and tivo j ' r six Minnie Italia shot through his Trail body, (for ho ras but a feeble bojj) and itN was left nub*.red. A. onth,'named Fleming Sanders, aged seventeen years, rho lived near Harts villc, and vrlioso father and tnolier were both dead, was arrested, taken to Gallatin ud confined in jail for son.o weeks, lie was then taen out some four or fivo miles from town, near to Mr. ! 'houlns Carry's house, shot by tho soldiers and lo't j nburied. '1 ho persons nbovo mentioned wore all ki.ld without any trial or investigation whatever.
