WASHINGTON, July 3-Evening.-Col Davidson, commanding at Camp Sup ply, informs the War Department tba the Kiowas are again on the war patb in tho direotion of Fort Sill. Genen Pope says he does not fear general hoi tilities. Colonel Maokenzie, commune ing the Fourth Cavalry, in a letter date Fort Richardson, Texas, June 4, BU j the Indian depredations are beoomin alarmingly frequent, and that the depn dators are Kiowas and Comanches, wh are fed daily by the Indian Agent on tb Canadian River. In endorsing this con munieation, Lieutenant General Sher dan says all the Indians on the reservi tion are engaged in this bad work, ac that be sees no way to stop their on rages, except by the aotion of the mil tary at Fort Sill and Camp Supply. E requests permi si?n to go in and wit out the hostile Indians, and says tl idea of trying to proteot the long line . Northern Texas from the Indians, wt are supplied with food, arms and amm nition at the reservation, seems to hi ridiculous. The President was interviewed by tl Apaches to-day. The details of the e'er mony present no new features whateve Secretary Bootwell ban written the following to a tobaooo dealer in New York: SIB: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of a letter signed by yourself, and other persons, engaged in the manu? facture of tobacco, dated July 1, in which you ask me to revise the decision of the Commissioner of Internal Reve? nue, concerning the storing of manu? factured tobacco in warehouse, after the 6th of June and previous to the 1st of July. I have examined the question, and am of opinion that the action of the Commissioner is required by the lan? guage employed in the law, and that the ruling accorda with the purpose of the committees of the two houses charged I with the preparation and management of the bill. Tobacco moving under transportation bonds on the 6th of June, when the Aot was signed by the Presi? dent, is not necessarily subject to the old rate of duty, as by the ruling of the Commissioner. It may be returned to the place of mauufacture, or held by the Collector of the District to which the consignment was made until the 1st of July, and then giveu up to the owuor or consignee, upon payment of duty, at the rate Axed by the new law. This ruling of the Commissioner appears to me to relieve persons engaged in the trade of all ground for complaint, except what may arise from the general purpose of the law, which is mauifest in abolishing the warehouse system. Very respectful? ly, GEORGE S. BOUTWELL, Secretary. Probabilities-The barometer will pro? bably oontinne to slowly full, especially in New York and New England, aud South-west winds will continue from Ohio to New England. Southerly winds, without material increaso of tempera? ture, but with close, moist atmosphere and light local storms, will be experi? enced throughout the Atlantic States on Thursday. ?- , . Secretary BoutweU t\jftll visit North Carolina about the lotty}and make two speeches in support of the Republican State ticket. ' -TV Grant leaves to-night for Long Branch. The weather han been inteusely hot to-day. NEW YORK, July 3- Evening.-The court room was crowded to-day, and hundreds turned away who were unable to gain admittanco to the Stokes trial. There were twelve bids for Govern? ment gold to-day, amounting to $3,825, 000, from 113 to 113 75-100. The 81,000,000 offered will probably go at 11362-100 to 113 75-100. The amount of bonds bought yesterday by the Go? vernment was $300,850, at 113 68-lOU to 113 7*^-100. A Salt Lake despatch of last night states that the reports of tho recent mur? ders by Indians has been confirmed, and at a oouncil held there yesterday, con? sisting of Assistant Seoretary of the Interior, Cowan, Governor Woods, Gene? ral Morrow, Indian Agent Dodge, and several other officials, it was resolved that Dodge should immediately proceed to the Southern part of the Territory, call a council of the Indian chiefs of tho various tribes, and instruct them to re? turn to their reservations. In case they decline, he will inform them that the Government will take prompt measures to vigorouly move against them. A strong detachment of cavalry will be sent Sooth at once. The Grant party are devoting all the energy which they possess and all the great resources of the Administration to the campaign in North Carolina. Every? thing is subordinated to that object, and every device which it is supposed oan in any way assist to secare the desired eod, is resorted to. As that io the State io whioh the election takes place first, it is deemed of the highest importance to car? ry it in the interest of the Grant party. It is believed that the moral effect in favor of Grant, of a success in North Ca? rolina, would be very great. Money is used with a lavish bond. It is reported, on undoubted authority, that within a few days past, a prominent supporter of Grant, supposed to bo ex-Senator Ab? bott, went to New York to obtain money to be used tn the canvass; and that he obtained $25,000, and boasted of it. During tho remaining month, beforo the election, speakers and money without limit will be sent to the State, to carry it for tho Grant party. GoVERNOR'SCOTT AT SrARTANBDRO. For the first time in the history of his memorable reign, Governor Scott was io our town on last Thursday night. A strong effort was made to get the colored people out to hear a speeoh from bim, and after some hours of industrious drumming, some thirty negro men and boys wero found who had some curi? osity to Bee the man, and these were pushed and shoved up to form ao audi? ence in front of tho steps of the Pal? metto Hotel. Scott came out and made an eloquent harangue of about one-half minute's length, when ho retired, leaving his benohman Enooh to make proclama? tion that Scott had plenty of liquor in the cellar, and to request all tho "niggers and poor white trash to come in and take a drink."-Spartan.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-A very uni tuuate accident uccurred on the Ch lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroi Friday night last. Capt. Levi Gunt who resides about six miles below t place, left here for his home late t night, and wheu he had gone but a u or two, it appears that he sat down tho track and feeling somewhat f uti gt fell aleep, and ns the night train \ passing to Augusta, the cow cate knocked him off the track inflicting rions injury.

Lewie, of County, was aboard tho train ? stopped with Capt. Gunter to reu medical aid and assistance. Wo learn that Capt. Gunter ia dc well, having improved considerably the past two or three days, and is no* a fair way of reoovery.

REGARDED.-OD. Sunday, 23d Juue, one James Maloney, who in reputed to be Assistant United Stxtes Marshal, accom? panied by Peter Simmons, (i black "nigger,") Oscar Cunnou, copper-co? lored, (a penitentiary bird.) and Willis Johnson, ("yallow nigger,") went to my store at the Cross Roads and ordered a lad, Master Wells, who slept in the store with my son, a fourteen year old boy, into the store, stating that he should shut himself iu, und if he came out that the guard that he (Maloney) was going to place aronnd the house would shoot him. Mr. Smith, who wus paying u visit to Wells, wus then rudely assaulted, and ordered to march to my dwelling house, (about a half mile from the store, each of the cowardly fellows single filing behind him as close as they could walk, lock step.) Smith's life was threatened, nnd he assured that if he made any noise whatever that he would be shot. About half way between the store aud dwelling, my son going from supper to the store, (where he and Mas? ter Wells slept,) was pounced upon by two "big niggers," who held his arms behind him whilst Maloney stood iu frout of bim with a pistol presented to his breast, swearing that he iuteot1 " to shoot him through. After he had kept the boy in this position until the cow? ardly, tormenting e /il spirit was satis? fied, they turned h'm loose, telling him to ke-ip in the path to tho store; that ii he turned to the right or loft, he would be shot by men stationed in the woodi for thc purpose. Tho file being re arranged as before, with Smith boiug forced to lead, th? night being dark, und the foliage of tlx oaks being dense, they came into raj yard near tho piazza, where Mr. Johu J Barre, Mr. D. M. Ward, Mr. T. T. Pern and myself were sitting-(ray wife wa in her room ut the poiut of death, hav ing been quite ill for some time)-ant they shouted, to our surprise, "Shoo every damned rascal that comes out o the house. Shoot! shoot I" I did no know what it meant. Robbers, Lawrey' band, everything, flitted across rn; brain. The shouting, shooting, all, all what docs this mean? I advanced t meet them at the steps; Perry was will me; Barre and Ward jumped iuto th yard. Barre received a severe wound Several attempts were made to shoe Ward, but failed. Tho alarm to tc wife was 60 sudden, and when Barr said, "lam shot," she thought it wu tho voice of our eldest son, and becam so frightened that her recovery is no1 hopeless. As soou as I could, I ascertained wini was the matter. Maiouoy said that li had a warrant for Ward, whom be ba failed to arrest. What Ward was charge with he did not mako kuown. Said li bad a warrant for Perry. Perry suit "If yon have, I nm ready to go wit you." But he (Maloney) apologized I Barre; said "ho was very sorry that t: got shot; bat I have a warrant for yoi although it ia of little importance; sou negro has a charge against you; you cu stay here with Mr. Blease and report I me, if you get well, ut your couve ienoe." I told my sou to go quickly f( a physician; that Bane would bleed death. As he started off a "niggei drew down ou him with a pistol, sayin "If you leabe de house I will shoot you None of us were armed, but were enjo ing the quietness of the holy Sabbu evening, aud awaiting anxiously on he who appeared almost done with earth things, when we were pounced upon 1 there fiends who pretend to represent t officers of America.

THOS. W. BLEASE. Is IT STRANGE THAT THE SOUTH Si POUTS GREELEY?-Is it surprising tb the South is so nearly unanimous I Greeley? Ought not those of our I m oe ra ts who make wry faces over him consider what is to be gaiued by ovi turuing Graut aud his internal crew w are crushing and robbing the people tho South? Ought they not to look tho spectacle of cargoes of men H North, to long yours ot life or death Northern dungeons, for pretended fences ns Ku Klux in South Carulii aud to reflect that Greeley's election * better this state of things? Why, 1 whole State of South Carolina is pen loss-bankrupt-and its debt ?nereus by theso harpies, ?13,000,000, with i one thing to show for it! The Statt divided into school districts and a p superintendent put over eaoh distr: though some districts have scarce!; dozen scholars; but it is tho rooney, pay, that these white aud black "sup intendenta" are after, and they get too, though the State is bankrupt i its bonds aro Blink out of sight in market. The keeper of the peni tent i is lettiug loose the convicts at the rati thirty a week, solely because he hasn cent to keep them from starvation, any Connecticut Democrats presumt blame the uuhappy people of Carol for going for Greeley-or do they lon hesitate to go with them? [Hartford Time. ALL BIGHT.-Largo packages of Si ner's speech frauked by Cougressi Roosevelt, have been refused tho ni by tho Now York post office authoril Mr. Roosevelt insisted that the i should be applied to both parties, now the free transportation of Gi dooumeuts is also stopped. Hope t will stick to this rule. A Yankee editor says: "Tho marc civilization is onward-onward, like slow hut intrepid tread of a jackass wards a peck of oats!" A Westorn editor says that fresh w has tasted strong of sinners ever s tho universal deluge, and this is wh flavors it. THE JEWS.-Smyrni letters to the Levant Herald state that the excitement of tbe recent fanatical outrages in that city has not yet completely quieted down, and that the poorer Smyrniote Jews are still subject to molestation and insult from the Greek rabble. ?ince the late riots, tho Israelites have found it unsafe to move muoh abroad, belt at length the numerous class of them who gain their living as fruit and vegetable dealers, etreot-hawkers, glaziers, and the like, ventured out upon their usual occupations, and in many instances were assailed with putrid missiles and boiling water, and otherwise so insulted and ill used that they have been obliged to abandon their attempt, and keep within doors again. Tho want of these useful people, however, is felt' to be an incon? venience by the wealthier Smyrniotes, and accordingly the Consular body have come to an understanding with Hnmdi Pasha to have special parties of police continually on patrol in the most fre? quented parts of the town to protect the Jews from these wanton attacks. The whole affair is, adds the Herald, a dis? grace to Smyrna; and a strong local im? pression seems to prevail that the Go? vernor-General is not acting with any thing like sufficient firmness and energy in the matter. The scenes whioh are enacted ou the road from Epsom to London in the evening of the Derby Day ure in like manner a disgrace to London, and it would be well if an un? derstanding could be arrived at with "Henderson Pasha" to have in future years special parties of police continually on control in the most frequented parts of the road to protect unoffending per? sons from the wanton attacks of roughs belonging to the highest and lowest classes of society. ? JAPANESE SEAPORT DESTROYED DY AN EARTHQUAKE.-A. correspondent of tho Hong Kong Press, under date of April 8, writes as follows: With reference to the earthquake about which I wrote yon in my last, have since learned that it almost com pletely destroyed the large seaport town of Humadn, tho capital of Sekishu, sit? uated on the West coast of Japan, in 45 degrees North latitude and 132 de grees East longitude, being 180 English miles almost due West of Kobe. From .what I can gather, this appears to have been the centre of the earthquake. On the first shock, which was the most se? vere, tho peoplo had barely time to get clear from their houses before they saw them tumble to pieces. The number of people killed is estimated roundly at 500. As the earthquake occurred at abont th hour devoted to the evening meal, tb remains of the kitchen fires were still smouldering, and, igniting the debris of foreigu timber, it Hared up into a confla? gration, thus adding to the terror of the sufferers and completing the awful ca? lamity originated by the convulsive throes of the earth. The earthquake appears to have lasted a considerable time, and so severe were the shocks that the tenor-stricken population were una? ble tu walk, and were obliged to crawl away on their hands and knees as best they could, ia search of some place of safety, geuerally making for the nearest bamboo groves, as the Japanese consider them the safest resorts in such dire emer? gencies, it being their opinion that the complete net-work formed by the inter? laced roots of the bamboos undergronnd binds tbe earth together, and thus less ens its liability to open and swallow them up. Many large fissures and cre? vices opened up in and about the town, from whioh the sea-water gushed forth in plentiful streams. The wur in Mexico presents to-day a gloomy and almost incomprehensible picture. The ground gained to-day by the Government forces is occupied by the revolutionary party to morrow; and more miserable arrangements were never beheld in the most barbarous of guerilla warfare. The capture of Saltillo by the rebels under Trevino bas been confirmed by a despatch from the retreating chief ot the Government garrison to General Cevallus, nt Camargo. Thus the rebels are in possession of a most desirable po? sition. Probably owing to this confirma? tion rumors were afloat in the latter city that Quiroga's foroes were marching thither to attuck Covallos* command. Of this, however, nothing definite had been ascertained. Tho great sensation in the garrison at Camargo appears to bo the prospect of a genuine cavalry baot after the revolutionary robber and black? mailer, Gomez Portugal, who has been soaring the merchants around Mutamoras aud levying on their produce until the villages have become like a plain after locusts have departed. \lYew York Herald. A Fort Warren farmer, who disap? peared from his home twenty-seven years ugo, returned last week, having, in the meantime, wandered nearly over the habitable globe as a tramp printer. During the storm of Sunday afternoon, the lightning struck a tree near the resi? dence of Mr. E. B. Bardeen, in Aiken, setting fire to it, since whioh time the woods have been barning.
