Dawsou of the N?ir? ami Courier, indicted for libel, coma to n close on Tuesday hist. Tho case occupied seven days, and was watched throughout the State with a great deal of interest. Solicitor Ruttz and D. T. Cobin, Esq., were Attorneys for Bowen, and Gen. Conner, W. D. Porter, Brnwlcy and Smith, represented the defendant. On Tues day the jury was discharged, they hav ing failed to agree. Eleven of thejury were for acquital, and one for guilty. Thus tho case ended ami we do not b ipposc it will be heard of again except through the newspapers. Captain Dawflou seems to be jubilant over the result, and is right in for the press Convention.

The Charades and Tableaux given Thursday night and last night in the Elliott Hook & Ladder Hall, for the purpose of raising funds to buy an organ for tho choir of the Jhiptitit Church of Orangeb?rg, met with deci ded success.

The lateness of the kour, prevents us from making any comments or criticism of the perfor mers. Next week, we promise an ex tended notice, and shall take occassion to take up tho entire programme for both nights, and let the baby-darlings (our darlings) and the - dar lingH (somebody else's darlings) know exactly how we were impressed and what wo think of their delightful suc cess as amature performers.

Louisiana.?Is in trouble again. This timo the Democratic majority in the House have determined to seat lour members declared elected by the returning board, but which were not seated by the Ilabn organization, which was in power befuro the com promise. This would give them a majority on joint ballot; but the Re publican Senate threatened to adjourn if the action ho carried out. They re gard the situation in the same man ner as (irant does reconstruction; that if, that every ting is fixed, and never to ho changed. Latkh.? The Louisiana Lcgisla ture has adjourned, without accom plishing anything for the good of tho State. TI?oy did hot for get, however, to pass the hill appro printing 8170,000 to pay the expensed of the extra session. And strange to say (we say strange becauso anything inconsistent wo call ?trange') all tho democratic members voted to pass the bdl appropriating $170,000 to pay the expenses of a ten day's session. Indian Warfare Chicago, April 24. The following dispatch from Monu ment, Kansas, bearing this date, has been received at military headquar ters to-day : Wo attacked at daylight yesterday | morning, on the north fork of Sapper creek, t party of sixty Chcycunes, which I believe to be sonic of those j who have been at the agency. We cut off twenty-seven from their ponies and demanded their surrender. My demand was answered by a volley. After a desperate resistance, they wore all killed. "Nineteen warriors, includ ing two chiefs and a medicine man, were among the dead. I captured one hundred and twenty-live ponies. The remainder of the Indians escaped with a portion of their stock. I burn ed their camp, consisting of twelve lodges,and all their effects. Sergeant Pnpierrc and Private Ticros, of my command, were killed. (Signed) Ausrrx II?nley, ' Lici tenant 6th Cavalry. another account; Louisville, April :24. The Courier Journal's Kansas City correspondent telegraphs to-night the particulars of a desperate fight be tween a baud of raiding Cheycnues aud two companies of the 0th United States cavalry, in which twenty-seven Indians were killed, on Thursday last A band of Cheyennes wore encomped near Monument station, *>80 miles west of Kansas City. In format i n was sent to Old Fort Lyon, and Lieu tenant llanlcy, with two com panics, was or ?erod out. They struck the trail and fjund that it was an old one Throwing away their heavy baggage, the troops rode rapidly forward, and ypaLordny luwaaong, nfc t -oVl'rtck, cnliic. up with the Indians on the banks of Sapper creek, forty miles sjuth ol j Monument. The troops delayed until prepared for action, and with a bril liant dash rode upon the Indians. There were about sixty warriors, Seeing their danger the Chcycunes made a bold attempt to escape, bit*., being cut off, made a desperate fight. The engagement lasted for two hours, when the Indians broke and fled, leaving their ponies, baggage and tents oh the field. Twenty-seven Indians and two soldiers (Sergeant Papierre and Private Ticros) wore killed, Among the Indians killed were two chiefs. Thirty-three Indians escaped, but tho troops were in c!osc pursuit. Intense excitement prevails along the bonier. Words of i'au tion to I'ntnuisof Husbandry Several Patrons, seeing paragraphs in the papers hinting at mismanage ment and frauds in the National Grange, general dissatisfaction, seces sion of Oranges, ami impending dis organization, have anxiously inquired, ?'What arc the facts in the case? Is the order already demoralized, and about to be broken tip ?" We have hot been disposed to give the reports alludvd to a moment's thought, If our correspondents will trace them hick to their source, they will find that those who originated them, and seem so deeply concerned in regard to the condition anil prospects of the Order, are not members of it, or friendly to it. Is it likely that they know more of ita a Hairs than we, who are inside of the gates ? In regard to the National Grange, we prcMimo it has committed errors, ll has done things which we are tumble to approve; but wc arc /ill liable to g > wrong even with the best intentions, nor can we all think alike in regard to what is the wisest and best course; hut that there hits he it any intentional subversion of the principles of the order for selfish, pcisoual ends, or any fraudulent use of its funds', hj tho National Grange, we have- no proof; nor do we believe a word ol it. When tho proceedings of the last session shall he published, a detailed statement of money received aud expended will be within the reach of every Patron. Eiicli can then judge for himself. Among the ignorant and suspicious ? and the greater the ignorance th more intense the suspicion) tlicro is I always dissatisfaction. That thcro is more ignorance, moro suspicion, or more dissatisfaction in our Order than in an) other society, or in tho outside public, we do not believe. "What little dissatisfaction thcro is, our enemies rejoice to see, and arc native in foment ing. Shall we play into their l ands? "But tho order is breaking up.'1 Yes, one Subordinate Grange in Iowa has seceded and declared its independ ence of the State Grange. So far as we can learn, this is all. This Grange was under discipline, at the time, for "irregularities." Let our outside "friends" console themselves with this undeniable fact. Patrons, if the National Grange be corrupt, and a fiaud and "humbug'' whose fault is it, and in whose hands rests the remedy ? Do you not elect your Master in tho Subordinate Grange by a free vole?by universal sufiinge (ii eluding the ladies)? If he is not a good man and a truce&ttron, whose fault is it? Do not tho Mas tors of the Subordinate Granges and their wives, who arc Matrons, consti tuto the State Granges? Do not they elect their Master? If the Masters of tho State Granges are not good and true men and Patrons, again," whose fault is it? These Master (with their wives, who have taken the degree of Pomona) constitute the National Grange To impeach that body__ is to impeach the State Granges, and to im peach the St ate Grange is to impeach the Subordinate Granges and the Pat rons of Husbandry as a body. Do you not see, then, that if this great t ce, which has grown so rapidly nnd overspread the land, is producing cor rupt fruit, the corruption lies at the very roots?in the Subordinate Gran ges?in ourselves ? Brothers and sisters, if you aro mind ful of our "secret work," you will re member a certain "sign." When you see a member of the order listening to such outside slandersns we have allu ded to, make use of it.?Rural Caroli nian for Mai/. " A Mother's Care. She will not allow her girls to ride, because fox hunters sometimes get their necks broken. They nwjy not have f% pet dots in eoso itb?fow|l go inud,.nor any aconite or 0" on kalt cod in their gardens for fear they should poi son themselves. Timid mother for bids her daughters to visit among the poor, for fear they might take small pox, and will not allow one of them to go alone outside of the avenue gate from fear of gnrroters. The descrip tion which she gives of the neighboring fields is appalling. She represents them to be the lairs of mad hulls, savage tramps, venomous snakes and wild horses. Her girls cannot propose either work or play which site does not prove to be compassed with dangers horrible and hitherto unthought of. In their childish days they were not allowed a rocking horse for fear it should ovoi balance; nor n swing, in case the rope might break; nor n pocket-knife, lest they should cut their fingers. She is always tying comfor ters around her children's throat and applying tlanncl to mysterious places where it will not stay. She revels in chest protectors, respirators, and her room is adorned with sticking plasters and gallipots. She is always intent on proving that every one either has a cold or is taking one, and she maybe se.n at night in a llnnnel dressing gown going from room to room with a gruel, pills, mustard leaves and India rubber hot bolt lev. She i* constantly discovering obscure sigrs of pome deadly disease in her children. She takes it for granted thai, her daughters have weak spines, so their beds are destitute of pillows, and there is a reclining board in every room. When she takes her girls to a pic-uic she will not allow them to sit on the gras.-*, nor in the sun, nor under a tree, nor on a rock. They must return with her be fore the dew begins to rise, and are never allowed to look at the moon ex cept through a window. ?- ?? ? ? ? Is Ihr- Snitli a Urass (lr wing Country. Look in your neighbor's cotton field (your ow n is all right, of course) and judge for yourself. Set up a slab, ami on it engrave the legend, "Gone U> Grass,'*and never say that our cli mate does not suit that plant. "Gone to Grass" may be an appropriate epi taph for the Rural Carolinian, when the planters and fanners of the South conclude to let it die. "May we [not] be there to see?" We advocate grass but not in the cotton I'uld. Even crab grass is a good thing in its place, but that is not where another crop requires the use of tho soil, so we may just hint that now is the time to bo lively with the ploughs and hoc?. Crab grass is easy to kill when young and tender, but let it get foothold and strength and we all know how bard it. it to eradicate, especially if any un lucky shower should come just nfter it has been hoed up.?Rttral Carolinian for May.
