COLUMBIA, S. C. Sunday Morning, August 24,1873. Stand ToEctncr. It is the antue in religion, society and politics. Xou ma-it stand together, if yon are to accomplish anything groat or Useful. Tho cross is as much the Bym bol of union, as of suffering and faith. The church of God, in all its various organizations, is the grandest combina? tion on earth, to further the highest in? terests of men. If. the isolated action of individuals bad boon sufficient to ob? tain for Christianity the spiritual domi? nion of the world, the church would never have existed. But from its first incipioncy, Christians met * together, prayed together and acted together. At every step of its progress, it was im? pelled forward by organization, and has found its triumph in the command? "stand together I" It is the same in so? ciety. Good men must Btand together, to make good morals predominant. Virtue is not the point of promisouous intercourse amongst men. It is the re? sult of individual obedience, to "the man within the breast;" and then, of association, by whioh the good is che? rished, and evil is shut out from com? munication. There is nothing on earth so solitary as the human heart; and yet, it yearns for companionship?it seeks in society for the indulgence of its mighty passious, and the vast powers with whioh it is entrusted, to lift itself and the world to the high responsibili? ties and destinies for which man was created. Society, beginning with the exclusions of the church, and going down to the bumblest village organiza? tion for innooent amusement or of glo? rious truth, finds its strength in the 'raotfo, "stand together!" . Afatf iait not the same in politics? Are-the groat interests involved in Go- . vernment less worthy of exclusion and combination than the interests of so? ciety? Government is the one grand organization under which the combina? tions for the protection of society find their security. In its justice or in? justice, the niorais of a country improve or decay*. If good, there is a perpetual protest in all its operations against wickodness, "depravity and tjaranny. If * bad, there is a perpetual flow of ovil in? fluences, through all tho ramifications of society, stimulating wrong and oppres? sion. Beaching up from its operation on individuals, it stretches out its arms and embraces the whole- body politic, for life or for death. In such a strug? gle, necessary from the nature of men and society, no man can bo indifferent, because no man is exempt from its power. Government is nothing but an instrumentality, set up originally by good men, to protect innoceucy, virtue and honesty, against aggression and injus? tice. To succeed in its noble objeot, good men must combine. If they do not, bad men will unite together and pervert the very object of government, which was to defeat their machinations of evil. There is no other alternative. The strifo for mastery is perpetual and eternal. Every man is on the one sido or the other. Even when the govern? ment is good, passiveness is not virtue; because the united strength of all good men is necessary to keep the govern? ment pure and just; and the non-action of a single man may bo fatal to its per? petuity. "Stand together!" is the order to all good men, coming forth from the breathing foundations of government itself, laid deep in the hearts and inte? rests of men. It is the order of society seeking purity, peace and happiness. " It isjtho order of God himself, not only to obtain peace for ourselves, but to spread this peace and justice- over the world. * "Stand together," people of the South! Government, society, God?all call upon you to "stund together." You are a separated, peculiar people?from your woes, your persecutions, your suf? ferings and toils, in battle und death. There is not a grave-yard in the South which d.oes not tell you that you are a peculiar people. Your heroic dead at Gettysburg are brought homo to be in? terred in their native land. There is not a government in the South?with hide? ous contrivances in the name of libarty, for corruption, fraud, dishonesty und tyranny, carrying out the despotio will of your Radical rulers?which does not tell you that you are a peculiar people. Loug ago, before Oolumbus crossed the Atlantic, your ancestors were free. Long ago, before your fathers issued their Declaration of Independence, and to maintain it, joined hands with those whose descendants have since imbued thoir hands in your blood, you were Jreo. ' "StanI together," and you are free now; for it is the chaiucd spirit, not the chained hands, whioh makes slaves. The futuro is yours, if you have tho conrago and detorminatiou to win i it. "Stand together" for yonr civiliza? tion, your liberties and your God; and this mighty and glorious country will yet be one of tho greatest and freest people tho sun has ever ahone upon. Free men of the earth I faithfully, fear? lessly and united "stand together 1" ??? # ? > Executive Clemency Invoked fob tue modocs by the peace talkers.? A number of letters has been received from Quakers and other friends of the Indian peace policy throughout the country, asking Executive clemency in behalf of the Modoc Indians lately on trial for the murder or General Cauby. Many of theso lotters raise the question that tho trial of the offenders was illegal, under the decision of the Supreme Court in the Mulligan case, that the civil courts being open, the military tribunal had no jurisdiction. Another question raised is that General Canby was killed while acting an a peaoo com? missioner, and not ao an officer of the army in war. These questions will conte directly before the President for his action, as the court for tho trial of the Modocs was organized in pursuance of on opinion of the Attorney-General that the military court had jurisdiction in the premises. The Judge Advocate General of tho army takes the same view as the . Attorney-General, and will approve the findings of the court, as will also the Seoretary of War. The Presi? dent, however, must approve and order the execution of the sentence, and upon him will be a pressure to set aside the finding?. The friends of the peace polioy declare thai when all the argu? ments are presented to the President, he will not order the execution of the sentence of death, in view of the doubt? ful legality of tho tribunal before which the trial took placo. On the other hand, old army officers declare that the President will bo guided by the opinion of the Attorney-General, already ran lered, and his own sense of justice; that the prisoners were guilty of every vio? lation of the rules of civilized warfare by violating a flag of truce, and, there? fore, were subject to trial by military law. The Dutch War in- Sumatra.?It has Been ascertained from a navul officer just returned from tho East, that all the tribes of the Northern portion of Suma? tra heretofore tributary to tho Dutch have joined the Sultan of Acheon. Prom one tribe alone, 14,000 men have left their pepper plantations and gone to the assistance of the Sultan. The pepper trade is temporarily suspended by tho war. Great fears are entertained by the Dutch as to tho success of their oontemplated second attack. The Dutoh had at Pedang, their base of operations, and on tho way, 18,000 men, reinforce? ments from Holland. It was designed to attack the Acheenesc about the mid? dle . of September. The Sultan, in re? sponse to an overture by the Dutch to make a treaty, said th it before ho would do so, every man in arms under him should perish. A general Mulay insur? rection among the Dutch subjects of the Netherlaud Strait settlements is appre? hended. The Sultau of Acheon ex? pressed his desires to an Americau Con? sul for close relations with the United States, saying that, if this country would give him protection, he would grant in return extensive commercial privileges, allow the erection of naval storehouses and the use of the best tim? ber for ship building. The Sultan was informed that the better way to present his proposition was to send u speoial en? voy to the Uuitod States Government. French and Spanish Intrigues.?In addition to the other embarrassments and perils of tho Spauish Republic, it is now threatened with an insidious in? fluence on tho side of France. The re? ports that the French Government, or at least some of its influential members, are secretly aiding the Carlisle, are tak? ing stronger shape week after week. These refer to underhand means. The open demonstration is to take the form of a recognition of the Carlists 113 bel? ligerents, although Don Curios and his forces are confined to a narrow strip of territory at the foot of the Appenines, along tho French frontier, and ure not really legitimate subjects of recognition. But these secret intrigues are as signifi? cant of danger to tho French Republic as they are to that of Spain. If Miic Aluhou i-s ouly the preface to the resto? ration of the Bonapartist Empire, or the Bourbon monarchy in a modified form, according to tho rece-nt understanding between the Count of Paris and Count Chumbord, it is quite clear that it would never do to have a Spanish Republic in existence on the Southern frontier of France. Tho cloaring of this latter out of the wuy would, therefore, seem to be one of the most natural preliminaries to the restoration of either tho empire or the Bourbon monarchy in France. This appears to be the most siuister aspect of this latest phase of French and Spanish news. Put Agreements in Writing. ? now many misunderstandings arise from tho loose ways in which business matters aro talked over; and when each party puts his own construction, the matter is dismissed by each with the words, "All right?all right!" Frequently it turns out all wrong, aud becomes a question for-lawyer and tho courts. More, than three-fourths of tho litigation of tho country would be saved, if people would put down their agreements in writing and sign their names to it. Each word iu our langnage has its peouliar mean? ing, and memory may, by the chauge of its position in a sentence nnnvoy nn en-" tireiy different idea from that intended. Wheu once reduced to writing, ideas aro fixed, and expensive law-suits are avoided. A white girl of Washington, of respect? able parentage and handsome, has eloped with a colored wagon driver. TnrllUng Account of ft Fight Between the 8loui and P?W?lh PAWKEE ReSEBVE, PliATTK County, Nebraska, August 12.?The following thrilling account of the awful battlcTbe tweon the Sionx and Pawnees, near the Republican River, is from a correspond? ent, who took part in the fight: At daylight, on tho morning of Au? gust 5, tho Pawnees, numbering about lOG, including squaws and children, broke their camp on the Republican, near Frenchman's Fork, twenty-five miles West of Rod Willow, and started on the trail due North in the direction of a herd of bv.Haloes which the scouts had seen the day previous. After travel? ing about three miles wo were surprised by seeing buffaloes running direotly to? wards the lino of march. This unusual circumstance was disregarded by the Pawnees, and immediately the bent hunters statted in eager pursuit, and the plain for miles around was black with Pawnees and buffaloes. No sooner, however, had the hunters been scattered to convenient distances from the trail than the Sioux, who had been driviug tho buffalo ahead of them for this very purpose, came galloping along the di? vide, lying upon the necks of their ponies, with blankets drawn over their heads to resomblo buffaloes. In a mo? ment the ruso wa3 discovered, and the wholo lino broke out with tho cry of "Chararat! Chararat!" (Sioux,) and the war whoops of tho men. Squaws, children und pack horses were hurried into the nearest ravine, and the warriors, seizing their best horses, galloped to? wards the approaching enemy, chanting their wild de<ith song. On came the Sioux, throwiug their blankets, yelling and shooting, and soon the tight, began in true Indian fashion, each party in turn dashing forward, firing and re? treating. But soon tho groatly superior number of the Sioux began to be felt, and tho Pawnees, gradually hemmed in on all sides, wcru forced ofer the bluffs into the raviuc among their squaws and childrou. "Wu can't fight them," shouted tho chief?"too many; throw off tho packs, put the squaws ou the horses and run." Overboard wont the 700 dried buffaloes which the Govern? ment had allowed them to hunt for thoir starring families on tho reserve?starv? ing because the Government has allowed the Sioux for two successive seasons to hunt on tho Pawnees' hunting grounds. Meats, tents, blankets, everything thrown aside, there' began a generul rout, all rushing in confusion down tho ravine to tho river, and tho Sioux firing upon them from its abrupt sides with terrible effect. So deusely packed were the Pawnees that hardly a shot was wasted, warriors, squaw3 and horses falling in struggling, groaning heaps, mothers dropping their children, and those behind rushing madly over them, whjle the Sionx pressed close behind and scalped living and dead. Three miles to the Republican?and all this way tho Puwnees ran and were slaugh? tered in this horrible manner by the best of the Government arms. Bows and arrows are excellent for buffalo hunting; but for Sioux fighting I should oven prefer u Spencer rifle, despicably poor us they are. But the Pawnees had not even these in any abundance, and althouch they fought bravely, were ablo to make scarce :iuy resistance. About 100 Pawnees were killed or captured, mostly squaws. Seventy-live horses were taken-or shot. Your correspond? ent was surrounded and captured by Sionx, having mistaken them for Paw? nees. But the chief fearing to kill u white man, pointed mo a way to tho river. After giviug the chffse to an? other party of Sioux,T agdined rejoined a baud of fifteen determined Pawnees, who were covering the disastrous flight of their friends. About twelve miles from tho battle-field wo came upon a squad of white soldiers under Captain Meinhohl, three days from McPherson, who kindly offered to return to the field and remove the wounded, if any were yet alive. On our return the field pre? sented a most horiible sight. Tho first squaw we found lay dead, with a knife tightly clenched in her hand. Appa? rently sho had kept her pursuers at bay until overpowered, thrown to the grouud, a whip-stalk run through her body, and finally scalped. All tho young squnws have marks of brutal vio-. lence. The children, many of them wore scalped alive, without wound, aud, rolling their glassy eyes up io ours, diod, staring iu our faces, while we bathed their heads with water. Into a small pocket of the ravine the bodies of six men had been drngged, piled to? gether like so many logs aud burned. battle ground ever presented a more shocking, devilish scene. The Pawnees conducted themselves in a manner worthy of tho descendants of tho old monarchs of the plains, aud had they been provided with suitable arms, would have held their enemy in check until they hud sholtered themselves in the wood along tho river, where the Sioux darod not follow. As it is, it can be no more than just that the Government return their captives and horses to the Pawnees, who have performed such efficient service heretofore as Govern? ment seouts, and are always ready to take up tho causo of the white man against his enemies, Nattans' Crystal Discovery positively restores gray and faded hair to its na? tural color in three to ten elays.

Tue Wilmington Homicide.?The coroner's jury iu tho brutal Carter murdor case, returned a verdict that the deceased, Willie Carter, came to his death at the hands of Elijah Martin, David Martin, Jimmie Audersou and Billy Merrick, through inducements held out by Elizabeth Carter. , Francis?Henri V.?The wisest and beat men in France are looking for the speedy rotnrn to the throne of his fathers of Henry Duke dc Ohambord, grand nephew of Louis XVI, and head of tho house of Bourbon. There are some so foolish as to think that the best eduoatod men in Franco who look for his return as the harbinger of now glories for Franco, consider that he has a "Divine Bight" to tho throne, irre? spective of the will of the French peo? ple. Nothing in tho world is more ab? surd. The Legitimists support Henri V on altogether other reasons, based on principles of human law. It is that, centuries ugo, monarchy being tho na? tural form of the French nation, and that nation not wanting to be tormented by wars of succession, laid it down in their Constitution, that the succession to to their throne should be by heirs male, and next in the oldest born of the oldest branch of the royal family. This was agreed to- by France, when she was a self-governing natiou?a na? tion sui juris. Legitimists hold, and in perfect accordance with fuots, that Franco has not been a self-governing nation since the execrable murder of Louis XVI. They hold that, since thou, Franco has been governed by fac? tious and parties, never by her own quiet and strong autonomy. The brief reigns of Louis XVIII and of Charles X, offer no exceptions to this, because each of those mocarchs had the weak? ness to accept the revolution, that had dislocated France, ns the source of their authority. Louis XVIII had the weak? ness to accept the throne, not by right of the nuciont and unabrogatcd coutract and agreement with the family of which he was the head, but ns tho choice of a committee of un unorganized rabble. So ho only represented France up-side down. And his brother, Charles X, fol? lowing in his steps, and trying to sit on the breakers, was>, very legitimately, pitched into the Baud! Henri V, tho grand-sou of Charles X, has been reared in exile, and in adversi? ty. He is believed to represent a prin? ciple. The priuciple is the ancient Constitution of France. An unwritten constitution, us nil real constitutions are. He ia understood to have learned how badly sundry of his ancestors abused their power, and thut the death of his gruud-uuele, and the humiliation of his house for nearly 100 years, have been the results of the forfeits of Louis XIV and Louis XV?to say nothing of earlier wrongs committed by the Bour bou princes on the French people. These have been bitterly revenged, and Henri V stands the heir of uuabrogated treaties, believed to bo in full prepara? tion of his mind to atone to the gener? ous French people for the wrongs of his too proud ancestors. [Freeman's Journal. . A Commercial Conundrum.?The fol? lowing from the cashier of a Southern bank has been often answered in these columns: South Carolina, August 15, 1S73. Editor of tue Journ.*l of. Commerce: An answer in your columns to the ques? tion put below would, I am sure, be considered final, if not satisfactory, to any one who reads the Journal of Com? merce. There is'not a shadow of doubt upon my ruiud as to your decision; but it seems that my opinion in the premises is not shared by all my colleagues here. Hence the reference to so acknowledged a standard of authority as yourself: Can a bank receiving for collection a dr*ft upon a house hero, "payable with current rate of exchange ou New York," refuse as payment therefor the check of a 6olvcut bank for the face thereof, drawu upon a bank of undoubted credit in New York, and compel tho payer to buy its own check at one-eighth per cent, more premium? If the hank stands upon the point that a check is not money, and the payer tenders bills for the face of?the draft plu3 one quar? ter per cent, premium, which is tho rate at which other banks in the city are checke.), ciu tho former legally refuse such u tender? An early answer will Obligo "CASHIER." Reply ?Where a note or draft is pay? able "in exchange on New York," the tender of ?Ly ?rst class sight bill on this city is kgal and su?icient. Where it is payable "with current rates of ex? change: ou New Yoik," this language ! implies that tho drawee is to pay the face o: the draft in legul tender cur? rency, and to add to the amount euongh to cover tho current rate of exchange. The proper legal tender is the currency for the whole sum; but lest there may bo some trouble in proving the suffi? ciency of the addition, it is customary, where the parties cannot agree upon the rat.;, to purchase an actual bill ou New ? York from a drawer in good standing, and tender that in payment. If no ob? jection is made to tho standing of the drawer, that would be a sufficient legal tender, and a protest of the draft in re? fusal of such an oiler would be at the cost and risk of the holder.- The latter always has the oall in settlement of suoh a transaction. The drawee of a draft alwayx prefers to settlo in cash with the holdei, at the full current of exchange, since he mu?t endorse the bill he ten? ders, if that be insisted on; and it fol? lows, therefore, that the bill must bo first class, and the term3 of the holder exorbitant, if t^o drawee choos|a this form of payment.
