Stanley, of Detroit, who is W " well acquainted with the section of country in r which the slaughter took place, and who spent eight years in the neighborhood, says that it is one of the most rocky and rugged to be met with. It is cut up into canons, full of lofty perpendicular precipices, <fcc., making it very difficult for marching. There are places where a small body of Indians could hold a * i i i -A :* large army in cneca, auu at some puiuw? it would require circuitous marches of miles before the Indians could be dislodged from their retreats. In summer they can hold out any length of time on account of the abundance of food to be obtained, while in winter the rocky roads are impassible. Altogether, General Stanley says, there are eight thousand hostile Indians in the country, all of them well armed, and, as it is a good game country, they can live alihost anywhere. In speaking of the great hostility of the savages, General Stanley says that during his stay in that region they would kill every man they could get hold of. He had been twice attacked, and the first summer he was there with GenCuster, two of his officers were killed : WHAT SHERMAN SAYS. Srvontincr nf the HiflA.qt.er. fren. Sherman is e> -- > ? reported to have said to a member of the press? "There is one thing I am very anxious you should say, because I want it understood. We are doing this at the special request of the Indian Department. It does not originate with the War Department at all. You will see on my map where the Indian Reservation is. Our purpose is to drive these Indians, who are of the very wildest and most savage sort, down on the reservation. Montana," said the General, enthusiastically, "is the most promising of our Territories. It is settled by an intelligent people, among whom are many old soldiers, and it is the richest and most promising of our settlements. The Indians have been annoying the settlers, and we are to drive them down on the reservation. You can say that we will do it now, or exterminate them." THE WAR DEPARTMENT. Secretary of War, Cameron, returned late Thursday evening to Washington. It is understood that instructions will be given to eend reinforcements at once to the troops in the field, and possibly some steps taken to provide for a volunteer organization of 3,000 to 5,000 men at once. ^ MOVEMENTS OF THE TROOPS. Gen. Sherman has ordered Sheridan to his headquarters in Chicago. The President, Secretary of War Cameron and Gen. Sherman, had a long conference over the Indian war last Saturday, the results o? which have not been made public. In reply to inquiries made by Shermau, Sheridan is reported to have replied: "I think it premature to think . of asking for volunteer cavalry with the attendant expenses. If the six companies of the Twenty-second Infantry are given Terry, he will have about 2,000 men. Crook, in a few days wijl have 1,500 men, and I will send Merritt's eight companies of the Fifth Cavalry, 400 strong, which will make him over 2,000 strong. We are all right. Give us a little time." Sheridan does nftt think the Indians can number more than 2,500 or 3,000 men, and must be greatly embarrassed by their wounded. Itisstated that six companies of infantry Cavalry has been ordered to concentrate at Red Cloud and Spotted Tail Agencies. Dispatches from the frontier and plains show a desperate feeling and indignation against the Iudians. Gen. Pope has ordered Gen. Miles, with six companies of the Fifth Infantry, to I report at once at the scene of the Sioux war. | They are now stationed at Leavenworth and other forts in that vicinity. A dispatch from Chicago, dated the 8th, says: There is considerable anxiety at Gen. Sheridan's headquarters concerning Gen. Crooks' command, from which nothing has been heard since the engagement on the Rosebud. It is not known whether be has encounter ed the savages or not. It is thought he has again met the savages or he would have cooperated toith Gen. Terry before this time. The belief prevails at headquarters that the recent defeat of regular troops will cause a change in the general character of the campaigifcand in the movement of troops, which will be more united in order to successfully " cope with the Indians. DISTURBANCE*!* HAMBURG. The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel of Sunday, publishes a lengthy account of a serious disturbance in the Village of Hamburg, * Aiken county, this State, and just across the river from Augusta. From the version of the affair as given by the Chronicle and Sentinel, it seems that on the evening of the Fourth of July, two young men?Thomas Butler and Henry Gettsen?were detained in the street of Hamburg by a militia company which was parading, and when the young men desired to pass, some of the soldiers threatened to keep tfcem there all night. On the next dav thev aDnlied to Prince Rivers, a colored ?J -J ^ -J-J- ? ' trial justice, to have the matter investigated, as to whether the militia had the right to obstruct the public highway. During the examination of the first witness, the Captain of the company, Doc. Adams, became so insolent as to compel the trial justice to arrest him for contempt of Court, and continue the case until next day at 4 o'clock* P. M. , When the case came up for trial on the 6th, Gen. Butler appeared as counsel for the . complainants; but Doc. Adams, Captain of the company, against whom the proceedings were instituted, failed to appear. After waiting some time, Gen. Butler told Rivers that he must proceed. The constable then went to the door and called Adams, who, however, failed to answer. It was then ascertained that Adams, with his company, was up the street in a defiant attitude. General Butler thereupon informed trial justice Rivers that this sort of thing had gone on long enough, and it was about time that it was put a stop to. He demanded that the negroes should give up their arms, promising ample security that the arms surrendered would be turned over to Gov. Chamberlain, and a3 for the detention of the young men on the afternoon of the 4th, he would be satisfied if Adams would make an apology. A long parley ensued on the question of surrendering the arms, Prince Rivers exerting his influence to induce the militia to give up their guns. The negroes, however, about 7 o'clock, P. M., ma a -final anawpp tKflf fKou wnnlrl nnf ailr. g??o a awa. V ?-J ?... render theirguDS. In the meantime the news of the trouble had spread in Augusta, and a large number of young men procured arms and ammunition aud hastened to the scene. Many others waited at the foot of the bridge anxiously awaiting the result. By 7 o'clock there was a large crowd at that point. Upon learning the result of Rivers' efforts, General Butler determined to accomplish by force that which could not be done by peaceable demands. The negroes had entrenched themselves in a large brick structure, known as Sibley's building, on a corner and defied the whites. The latter surrounded the house and at half-past seven o'clock opened fire upon it. This was returned by the negroes and a constant fusillade Was kept up for over two hours. About 8 o'clock a young man named T. Mackey Merriwether, who was standing near the front of the Charlotte, Columbia aud Augusta Railroad bridge, was struck iu the head by a Minnie ball fired from one of the windows of the Sibley building, and almost instantly killed. Soon after the death of Merriwether sever al men were sent oyer to Augusta for a piece i of artillery. This was procured and carried ! to Hamburg as sooo as possible. The piece was^tationed on the river bank, a short dis-' tance from the house where the negroes had I taken up their position, and a fire opened with 1 canister. Four rounds were fired. Little i damage was done the building, but the fire had the effect of completely silencing the negroes. During the evening eight negroes were captured, two of them members of the company. " About half-past eight or nine o'clock a party of five escaped from the building and I ran across an open field. They were fired upon by the white men and two of them returned the fire, but without effect. About ten o'clock a negro jumped over the fence in rear of the house and attempted to escape, but he was instantly fired upon and fell dead, riddled by bullets. It was then ascertained that he was Jim Cook, the marshal of the town, who had been one of the chief promoters of the difficulty. His head was almost shot to pieces. Soon after this another negro, named JohD Thomas, first lieutenant of the company, was caught while attempting to escape. After he was arrested he was shot in the back by some unknown party and mortally wounded. This action was condemned in the severest terms by every one, especially by Gen. Butler. Next day a force of Augusta police went over to Hamburg and succeeded in making about twenty-five arrests. The prisoners were kept under guard Friday night; but the next day, as the Chronicle and Sentinel reports it in closing its account of the affair, they were disposed of in the following manner: At about two o'clock, or a little before the < roll was called of the prisoners, those who were considered ring-leaders of the disturbing element in the county, were carried to a corn field near the river and turned loose. As they ran they were fired upon and killed. Oue of the men shot was named Attoway, a County Commissioner and member of the Legisla- < ture. The prisoners died almost without a < groan. The remainder were turned loose. We learn that before the shooting took place, a detail of twenty-five men was made and ordered to take the prisoners to Aiken to jail. On the way it was determined to kill the ringleaders, and the shooting was done as described. Some gentlemen from Augusta inter- I fered and saved the lives of three by persuad- i ing the guards to let them bring the negroes to ' this city. They were taken to the City Hall ( and discharged. The man who was shot af- i ter being captured?John Thomas?was also I brought to the City Hall. He cannot possi- j bly recover. The list now foots up ten negroes killed, one white man killed, another severely wounded. The wounded man is in the hospital. As the remainder of the pris- i oners were turned loose they were fired into, but it is not known whether any of them were i killed or not. In the absence of any official report of the affair, Governor Chamberlain requested At- 1 torney-General Stone to proceed to .Hamburg and report to him officially on the disturbance. Mr. Stone left for the scene on Sunday night. i ? ? ? Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM CHESTER. ! Chester, July 10,1876. At the meeting of the Democratic County Convention, on last Monday, the Democratic Executive Committee of the county submit- ' ted a report, the prominent feature of which 1 was a recommendation looking towards a compromise with the Republicans of the * ( county. The basis of the compromise was an equal division of the county offices among j the representatives of the two parties. The ! adoption of the report was advocated by Major Julius Mills, T. C. Gaston, Esq., and G. ! yyjsgsssBiJftfr Ajyfcaitea SBL roga a bitter opponent ot the compromise scheme. ( The Republicans, in his opinion, were utterly j . unworthy of trust.* They had in the past j j deceived the Democracy, and will in the fu- ! ( ture practice their deceptions. The discus- J sion upon the report ended with its adoption j by the Convention. The Democracy of this | ( county are, consequently, pledged to an affil- j iation with the Republicans on the basis above |! i mentioned, provided the latter accept th'e j [ compromise tendered them. They may not j j be satisfied with a division of the spoils, but may be actuated in their determination upon ! the matter by the irresistible desire to secure ^ all the offices. They will probably not delay a great while their decision respecting the of- j fered compromise. The "glorious Fourth" passed away at this ! place without the display of any extraordinary patriotic demonstrations. 'Tis true the Republicans, at an early hour of the morning, 1 gave their flag to the breeze, bearing the 1 names of their standard bearers, Hayes and ; Wheeler. This was done without pomp or parade. Some music was discoursed by the colored band, and the flag was left alone in ' its glory. During the morning the Hook and Ladder Fire Company, colored, in uni- ] form, and with the band, left for Winnsboro, ! where they passed the day, doubtless, to the edification and delight of the people of that ! town. The colored element flocked here from all portions of the county. After their arrival nothing remained for them to do but to collect on Main street, and see the sights, 9 which were observable in a short time. They J appeared to be contented and happy in talking and laughing away the time. During the j afternoon the crowd were entertained in lis- i, tening to speeches from several of our politi- 1 cal magnates. Judge Mackey, in bis address, souuded toe Keynote or rerorm. ine cauoi- i dates, he said, put forth by both parties for ! i the Presidency, were but answering the de- < mand for reform made so vigorously by the | ] people all over the country. James Walter, < colored, made a sensible speech, which, how- ( ever, was not relished by a large number of i his hearers. It was imbued too much with i the spirit of Conservatism to please those ! s who bowed down blindly to the Baal of par- j i ty. The excellent hits he gave those who fre- ; i quently interrupted him were received with 11 i considerable cheering. After a number of j 1 professional politicians had aired their pat-11 riotism, and their party principles, Mr. W. j B. Burnett was called upon. He was reluc- j tant to respond, but finally yielded to the i; i nroQQiiro The nonpcQitv nf rwert.hr minor onr- ! r1""""". *? ? "J "* r-b ; ruption and securing a good, honest government was the point be endeavored n impress : | with great force upon the minds of his colored listeners. He told them that the placing in office of capable and honest men ought to ,' be the guiding principle in the exercise by ! < them of the right of suffrage. Time will tell | in reference to the effect of his advice. I Notwithstanding the crowd, the police au-! thorities were not called upon to interpose j i the arm of their authority in only two or 1 < three instances. A too free indulgence in j < corn whisky caused some obstreperous fellows ! i to be taken to jail. ] The distinguishing features of the celebration, an illumination and torch light proces- i J sion, took place at night. The stores on Main | street and the private residences along the route of the procession were beautifully illu- j | minated. Upon the return of the procession ' < to Main street, the display of light was great-j' ly increased by the burning of turpentine barrels. When night was turned into day, i and everybody and everything was in readi-' ness for the speech-making, CI. S. Brice, Esq., ! was vociferously called for. The inability of the crowd to find the gentleman desired, made their cries ineffectual. Disappointment filled the crowd, as the opinion prevailed that he was to be the orator of the evening. Gen. Walker was loudly called for, but wan indis-: posed to favor the multitude with a speech, j The eagerness of his friends was too great to be resisted, so he spoke. Alluding very briefly to the great event connected with the ^ay, he passed on to the candidates nominated at St. Louis, and to the absolute necessity of their j election if the people were to be relieved of the burdens that were pressing upon them. | While shouts of approval of his speech as-! cended, the rain descended, and your corres- i pondent, in great haste, took his departure. The speaking, however, continued uutil a difficulty brought it to a close. Some remarks of School* Commissioner Lloyd excited the wrath of one of his listeners, which led to angry words and thence to blows. "Iu the melee that ensued Mr. Lloyd was considerably hurt. Thus ended the Fourth of July celebration at Chester. The .Chester Ride Club held a meeting at their armory, on Tuesday, with the view of deciding the question whether or not they should visit Dallas on the 20th instant. C. S. Brice, Esq., urged their going, for the reasons that the fare for the round trip would only cost each member one dollar, and that while at Dallas the club would be sumptuously entertained. Moreover, another inducement for visiting that town will be the pleasure and privilege of hearing the speeches of several political celebrities on that day, ex-Governor Zeb Vance among the number. The club voted to go to Dallas, in uniform and with arms. No doubt can be entertained iu regard to their enjoyment of the trip. Whether in feasting their palates upon the fat beef of the Old North State, or in satisfying their souls upon, the political nourishment that her sons will give, they will be equally happy. A Democratic flag pole was erected on Main square on Wednesday afternoon. Those who were engaged in accomplishing this work made a considerable amount of noise. The bosses of the job almost equalled the number of men engaged. The pole is about eighty feet in height A difficulty occurred a few days ago, in this county, on the Fish Dam road, near Mr. J. B. Stokes' residence, between F. G. Whitlock, on the one side, and Joseph Crosby, Bunyan Crosby, Booker Wright and Hugh Stevenson, on the other side. The parties, who are all white, had been hostile for a long time, and meeting each other in the public road, seized the opportunity of settling their riitiFaronr>oa A a thp finrht was nrtt. waced with --0 even-handed justice, it resulted, as might have been expected, in considerable injury to Mr. Whitlock. His person was cut in several places with swords, with which his enemies were armed. Trial Justice McDonald issued warrants for the arrest of the parties charged with assaulting Mr. Whitlock. Bunyan Crosby and Booker Wright appeared, and waiving a preliminary examination, gave bonds for their appearance at the next term of the Court of General Sessions. Joseph Crosby and Hugh Stevenson, who live in Fairfield, have not yet appeared before the Trial Justice aud given bonds for their appearance at the next sitting of the Court of General Sessions. Mr. R. Brandt contemplates visiting Brazil in the course of a few weeks. He goes for the purpose of settling up the estate of his brother-in-law, Mr. Julius Rader, who died suddenly at Rio Janeiro during the past winter. The deceased must have been blessed with excellent business qualifications. He arrived in Brazil a short time after the close of the late war with very little money. After a business career of ten years he died in the possession of a large estate. Mr. Brandt, who will obtain the greater portion of the estate, expects to be absent about three months, twothirds of which will be passed upon the "briny deep." Mr. F. M. Torbit, one of our merchants, was stricken with paralysis on last Thursday. He has been and is still in a critical condition. He was thought to be somewhat better on yesterday, and hopes of his recovery are now entertained. Farmers are complaining greatly of the injury done the crops by the late rainy spell. Corn on the low lands was, for the most part, entirely destroyed. Along some of the larger streams, it was under water for a considerable time. A great deal of corn has been replanted, but it is not expected to yield abundantly. Ihe opinion is entertained by some farmers llw> the wwp of tbii y??r, in oar oonotyr will not equal that of last year. The report iu reference to the cotton crop is good. The honor of producing the 6rst bloom has been won by Mr. Joseph Smyer. Mr. Preston Hardin made a narrow escape un Saturday afternoon last. While driving through town in a buggy, his horse, becoming unmanageable, ran rapidly down Main street, but was fortuoately stopped by some one before any injury was done. A continuance of the race would, undoubtedly, have ended in a smash-up of the buggy, and probably with injury to Mr. Hardin. Major G. W. Melton, who had been lying dangerously ill, with gastric fever, in Columbia, for several days, died on yesterday mom: ing at six o'clock. His remains were brought here on the train last night. The funeral services will take place this afternoon at four o'clock at his late residence, and will be conducted by Rev. A. F. Dickson. The stores are now closed in respect to the memory of the deceased. Mr. Joseph Stroud, of Rossville township, departed this life on Saturday. A difficulty occurred between two negroes, a few miles from town en Saturday. It resulted in one striking the other with a hoe, and killing him almost instantly. The murderer is now in jail, and will probably be hnncrerl anma Hfltr OlTT. ,,M b wwwn, ?j -v 4 How Awfully Culpable?Mu3t be those afflicted with Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma, or any disease of the Lungs, Throat, or Chest, who neglects to use Dr. Tutt's Expectorant after reading the following letter, written by one of the most estimable ladies in the South: Savannah, Ga., April 28, 1872. Dr. Tutt: In gratitude for the benefit received by the use of your Expectorant, I do cheerfully add my testimony to its wonderful power in curing deep-seated coughs. For several years I suffered dreadfully with a cough attended with great difficulty of breathing. I was induced to try your Expectorant, and it gave almost immediate relief. I took six bottles and am now perfectly restored. It is about five months since I began its use, and I have not had an attack since.

Botany is a division of natural science which treats of plants, and a study of vegetable pbisioligy must be the foundation of botanical knowljdge?a study only possible by the improvements in the microscope and in organic chemistry. As plants are not scattered haphazard over the earth, botanical geography must be studied, and, with this, plant history. Botany may be applied in the svantsof every day life, as in agriculture, horticulture, or medical botany. Animals often exhibit a marvelous instinct in selecting medicinal herbs, and an observation of their habits Juts often, bvoii in tlie present tune, ten to most a'aiuaujo discoveries. And should man, with his knowledge and appliances, fail to discover less than the brute? It is of medical botany we would speak, or of the HKPATINE PLANT, discovered in Southern Nubia, the flower of which changes its color with every change of the atrnosphore. The remarkable change*? and variations of this plant and flower have been for years our special study, resulting in the discovery of its possession of wonderful medical properties, the existence and value of which have heretofore been unknown to medical scienco. After much labor and scientific investigation, we have succeeded in extracting its peculiar medicinal principles, which iH aspocific and cure for all diseases of the Livor, Stomach and Bowels; a permanent euro for Dyspepsia, Spleen, Indigestion, Constipation, Jaundico, and all Bilious Complaints. Of course we cannot send a living flower of this plant to all who read of Hepatine; but all who send their address to Mkrrell it Cou den, Philadelphia, Pa., with a three-cent stamp for return postage, Ave will send froe a facsimile of the flower, that will change its color Just the same as the real Hepatine Flower. The mediciue, Mkurell's Hepatine, is for sale by JOHN C. KUYKENDAL, Yorkville, S. C., and will cure all diseases of the Liver. Ma^' 18 20 tf I OBITUARY.
