Intern* ?ntt\U$mtv. E. B. MURRA.Y, Editor. THURSDAY MORNING, OCT. 9, 1879. The Democratic meetings held on Mon? day evening in the different wards of the city of Charleston seem to indicate that the Democracy of Charleston will be in the approaching municipal electon, as in 1876, a unit, and that the Democracy will regard, with bitter condemnation all effort? to divide the party. The meet? ings are said to have been the largest and most enthusiastic ever held in the city, demonstrating that tbe party cannot be split by ambitious aspirants for office, who regard their personal aspirations as more important than the success of their principles as represented by the party. The Democracy of the State has regarded . with deep interest the struggle in the Democratic party in Charleston for the last few weeks, and will hail with delight the cheering news of the solidity and unity of the Charleston Democracy, not? withstanding the efforts made to divide the party, and by the union of the mi? nority with the Republicans defeat the Democrats. Could uuch an amalgama? tion of parties as this succeed, it could work no good to any party. It would be the success of men who were false to .. their party and to their principles, and from such men no administration of pub? lic affairs can be expected, except such as promotes their pei'sonal ambition and greedy desire of gain at the public ex? pense. The State will rejoice with the I good men of Charleston in their success over ambitious men, who would wreck their party and place in power the in? famous Radical party, that they might j reap the loaves and fishes. Mr. Tilden has been steadily gaining in the race for the next Democratic nomination for the Presidency, and his principal element of strength consists in j the falsehoods and misrepresentations I which his enemies have circulated with a view of crushing him. The latest scheme that has been resorted to is the publication .made by some pretended friend, which represents Mr. Tilden as not desiring the nomination, and as crit? icising the South in a most unfriendly manner. Mr. Tilden denies this state? ment entirely, and says that he is doing nothing to secure a re-nomination, but that he does not intend to decline it before it is offered to him. We have not been a supporter of the renomi nation of Go v. Tilden, as there are three or four other candidates we would prefer to see succeed. It is, however, plain to our mind that unless his enemies fight him more fairly and honorably than they have done up to this time they will cre? ate a sympathy for him which will se? cure his nomination on first ballot. Our people love fair play, and when they see an unfair advantage sought to be taken against a public man it is sure to result in his triumph. This will be the result of the mode of political warfare which is waged against Mr. Tilden, if it is not speedily stopped. He is a man of fine { abilities. Nothing dishonest or dishon? orable has ever been traced to him. He has been cheated out of the office to which he was elected, and all these things give him a public sympathy to begin with. His opponents will have to oppose him on higher grounds than falsehood and misrepresentation if they expect to beat j him. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. Cleanings from our State Exchanges.

Fartlcularo of tho Outrage?Tho Caunc of the Outbreak. Rawlins, Wyoming, Oct. 2,1S79. Tho following particulars regarding tho massacre of Major Thornburgh, scout Lowry and thirteen privates by tho Uto Indians aro obtained from tho courier who brought the dispatches from Captain Payno after the tight: Maj. Thornbnrgh's expedition against tho hostile UtC Indians, when within seventy miles of the agency, halted for the night (of tho 29th), and tlio Major sent Grafton Lowry, one of his scouts, to the agency to communicato with Agent Meeker, and to soo how mattors stood. Ho found tho utmost confusion and ex? citement prevailing. They were about to murdor Mr. Meeker, but Mr. Lowry prevailed upon them not to commit tbe deed. Mr. Meeker told Mr. Lowry that ho nttomptod to loavo theagency with his family, but was provented by tho In? dians. They then mado another move to kill Mr. Meekor and fire the buildings, but wore induced a second time to desist. Lowry now attempted to return to tho command, but was informed that he must remain; but after giving the In? dians a number of assurances of his peaceable mission, he was allowed to do part, but was accompanied by about thirty warriors, who rodo with him sov- j era! miles, and then left him. Lowry arrived at tho command near Milk Creok on the evening of tho 2Sth, and gave Major Thornburgh the above informa? tion. Tho next morning (September 2D) the command advanced, Under the guidance of Joe Rankin, who is woll acquainted with the country. About 9 o'clock in the morning Rankin discovered fresh Indian signs, and having arrived at a canon through which the road passed, and which would afford an excellent oppor? tunity for an ambush, ho led the com? mand around over tho hill, over an old trail well known to him. By this move? ment ho saved the lives of tho command, for, on arriving at the top of the hill, he discovered tho Indians in ambush on either sido of the canon through which the road passed. Major Thornburgh formed his men in line and awaited the coming attack. He was repeatedly urged to tire on tho Indians, but persist? ently refused to do so, saying that his orders would not justify an attack. Two Indians now rod? up to within a hun? dred yards, dismounted, and with a sav? age yell, fired, shooting Captain Payne through tho arm. At this signal the In? dians gave a war-whoop and tho battle begun. Thornburgh now found that he was surrounded. He ordered a charge, which he gallantly led in person, and succeeded in cutting his way out; and when within about 500 yards of his wagons ho fell dead, with two bullets through his brain. Captain Payno now took command, and tho battle was car? ried on until 8 p. m. The Indians fell back a short distance and went into camp. During tho engagement Lowry was killed. Captain Payne, Captain Lamson, Surgeon Grimes, Lieutenants Paddock and Wolfe, and thirty-five men wore wounded. Major Thoniburgh's body was not recovered when Rankin left with dispatches. Settlers from Snako and Bear Rivers jTO flocking here for safety, and much excitement prevails. the cause of the outhkeak. Upon inquiry at tho Indian Bureau, as to the probable cause of the recent Indian fight at Milk Creek, the following facts were learned: N. C. Meeker, agent for the Uto Indians at White River, wrote a fow days ago a letter to friends in Grecley, Col., explain? ing tho direct causo which led to tho out? break on tho part of tho Indians. Mr. Meeker has endeavored to tho ut? most to urge tho Indians to engage in tho cultivation of the soil. He says that tho agency employees had plowed one field and started work upon another. This was of about 200 acres, not fenced and only one half was to bo plowed. The remainder was to be irrigated for a bay meadow. They had irrigated a bed 100 feet wide and half a milo long. Sev? eral Indians objectod, ono called Jano in particular, who had built a coiral on the ground. Although ho had been told the ground would bo plowed, Jano held that it was Uto ground and no agont should dictato to them. Tbe Utes did not want any more land plowed That piece of land was theirs, and thoy would not' have it plowed. Tho agont, howover, ordered the plow to run, but before a single round had been turned thoro came two Indians with guns and forbade tho plowing. The agont told the breaker to go ahead, but he soon came back, saying ho bad been shot at from a brush, where two Indians were seen lying. Tho plowing was or? dered stopped, and Douglass, a chief, was sent for, but ho would do nothing. Jack, another chief, was sent for up country, and he came and a big talk was had. It was decided that tho plowing might go on and it would bo sottlcd. But it was not settled. Next day tho plowing was resumed, but tbe plowman was at once threatened by two Indians, and was com? pelled to give up tho job. Tho bad feel? ing developed by this attempt of the agent to cultivate this patch of ground soon became more general, and it was not long after that the attacks were made upon the agency, and tho depredations committed olsowhore, which resulted in tho calling for assistance. The Latest from Tilden. Washington, Sentcmbor 28. Mr. Tilden has been heard from again through a gentleman who arrived hero this morning, and who has been quito prominently identified with his political interests. This gentleman spent two days with Mr. Tilden lately at- his coun? try scat. Ho represents Mr. Tilden as taking a very deep intorest in the rc-olection of Governor Robinson, and not so much on account of its general bearing upon the election of 18S0 as on account of his do siro to crush John Kelly and Tammanv Hall. He says that Mr* Tilden is, if pos? sible, doing more to elect the Democratic candidate lor Governor than if he wore himself tho man. His political sagacity and large cxporienco aro being brought into full play, and ho is contributing largely from his personal means to cany out his own plan of the campaign. He has mado up bis mind to destroy John Kelly and Tammany Hall, if this can possibly bo accomplished. Concerning the result of the next na? tional campaign, the gentleman above reforred to represents Mr. Tilden as greatly discouraged. He says that so strong is this feeling that Mr. Tilden is not giving himself nearly so much con corn to secure the nomination as the pub? lic seems inclined to believo. Mr. Tilden has reasons for not valuing tho Demo? cratic nomination vory highly just now, and they wore thus stated: The Southern Democracy has handicapped the North? ern wing of the party to an alarming ex? tent during tho last two years. Tho atti? tude of tho Southern Democrats upon financial questions, their many blunaors in Congress, their repudiation of their State debts, their intolerance and outra? geous treatment of those who differ with thorn iu politics, and lastly thr many un? punished and condoned political assas? sinations Mr. Tilden thinks illy calcu? lated to make the Democratic nomination very desirable, except to a candidate who might bo conten t to run simply for tho honor of leading tho party in the race. Mr. Tilden is represented, however, as being sat Lifted that ho can obtain the nom? ination if ho wants it. A Disaster at a Michigan Fair.?

According to tho Live Oak Dispatch tho orango crop of Florida for tho season of 1879-'t>0 promises to bo from 10 to 20 por cont. larger than for tho season of 187S-79.

Since the decision in tho great bond case was rendered, tho State Treasurer has received one thousand and one let? ters (more or Joss) from bondholders, in? quiring about tho status of their bonds. As that official, who has but one arm, and his hard-worked clerks have as much as they can possibly attoud to or? dinarily, it a hardly to be oxpected that replies can bo sent to these applicants for information. ? Tho Savannah News says: A curi? ous discovery has beon mado in carry? ing on the excavation required for tho water works. At tho dopth of twenty eight feet tho workmen encountered an extensive bed of oyster and clam shells mixed with pieces of wood and charcoal, showing evidently that tho ancients were as fond as the moderns of theso delica? cies, and that roasts of this description were fashionablo in tho days of remoto antiquity. Truly, there is nothing now under tho sun. ? The Washington Post boils tho -exo? dus agitation down to this great truth: "White-labor has produced half the great cotton crop of Mississippi, and a largo Cercentago of that of other States, the lacks are needed in the South, and it will bo for their interest to stay there. But if Northern mischief makers lure them away, their places can and will be filled. When any man or class of men think they can't bo spared, a great mis- , take is generally " made. There is no place filled by any man that can't bo ro- < filled when ho leaves it. Cotton will bo raised because it is a necessary and a paying crop. If tho negroes will not produco it, others will do that work." ? General Sherman was once a lawyer, or tried to be. He got a case in a Kan? sas Court, the only 0110 ho ever tried in his life. It was a legal controversy about a little bull, worth about ?15. The law and tho facts were all on Sherman's side, and he went in Court with a largo num? ber of law books and a long brief, pro pared with sleepless care and groat dili? gence. A littlo spike-haired lawyer, with a complexion liko a side-hill and breath laden with stale grog, came in on tho othor side and won tho caso. Shor man picked up his books and walked out of Court, swearing ho would never try another law suit in Kansas, and ho novor did. This is a true storj'. Sherman ad? mits it himself. At all events, a newspa? per man out West vouches for it. A Veteran* Aeronaut Lost.?St. Iritis, October 1.?Prof. John Wiso mado an ascension in his largo balloon Path? finder, from Lindell Park, on Sunday evening, intending to remain in tho air as long as tho sustaining power of tho balloon hold out. Tho ascension was made solely in tho interest of science, Earticularly metcrorology. A brisk rceze was blowing when tho fastenings were cut loose, which carried tho balloon in a northerly direction foi pciiiaps two miles, at an elevation of from 1,200 to 1,500 feet. It then turned duo East and sailed away out of sight. Prof. Wiso cx poctcd to enter what he calls a perman? ent eastern wind current at an elevation of about 1,500 to 2,000 feet, which ho de? sired to keep in if possible and make ob? servations ; and to effect this more sure? ly, his ballast consisted only of a three quarters inch rope. 1,800 feet long, which trailed from tho balloon. When the gas is exhausted tho balloon was to descend, and the ond of tho rope dragging on tho ground was to relieve the balloon of part of its weight and hold it steady in the current. Mr. George Burr, teller of the St. Louis National Bank, who has made three ascensions and takes much interest in tho subject of air navigation, accom? panied Prof. Wiso. No tidings have yot been received of the whereabouts of Prof. Wiso and his companion, and tho opinion is growing very strong that they havo met tho samo fate as Donaldson and Grimwood, who Mcondod from Chicago two or threo years ago. The balloon was new and had made on? ly a few ascensions. The last was at Sterling, 111., on tho 10th ultimo, when John Wise, Jr., a grandson of Prof. Wise, reached an altitudo of over tiirco miles and mado 11 voyago of eighteen miles. Prof. Wise is 71 "years of age, and balloon? ing with him has beon a life study. Ho lias mado 402 successful voyages.
