Editor EnquirerThecommunioetion
Lin your issue of to-day, relative to the
t Wacoochee Valley disturbance, giving the
|itw of a “Neighbor Planter," in which
ooDHtmotion wholly exonerates the
ilaoks and leaves the inference that the
hites are entirely responsible, being so
nuch at variance with that of three relia
ble citizens living immediately in the
neighborhood, that I am constrained to
give a succinot statement of their ver
sion ; and I will remark that the excita
nt had all blown over, and no political
objects governed them in their state
ment.
First—That the negroee had been bold
ing frequent meetings, at which they were
'addressed by iuoendiary speakers; that
,gU manner of threats ware made, aud
with the whole, a plot laid when
4he blooly work should begin; that
these negroes, with a number of their
Georgia confederates, were seen armed
with pistols; end upon the day before the
night of the melee, negro men mysteri
ously amt unceremoniously quit their
Vwork, and with strange negroes were seen
gathering in groups over the neighbor-
| hood. These facts can be clearly estab
lished ; and I would ask if this looks like
[ "being disposed to peace." That the timely
notioe reoeived from a negro woman, and
he other unmiscakable evidences of the
fetentions of these negroes, and the
ompt manner in which the citizens pre-
rod to meet it, the people are satisfied
evented a demonstration, and probably
jgious result*.
That I may not be misunderstood, I will
|te that I agree with every word in your
oriul headed “Be Prudent," Ac. It is
riinportant, and espeoially so for the
ess of our fall elections, for our
>le to be pradent. But that the
ens of Wacoochee were reasonably
ned, aud that the negroes brought
on themselves, the neighborhood and the
intVy the outrage alluded to by your
Mpbndent, there is not a particle of
ttbt, and I cannot but regret wbat I
noeive to be the unintentional harm of
nr reporter’s communication—to have
oh comments called forth as that of an •
her article in yonr paper, which is cal-
listed so muoh to mislead the Northern
ind from the true sentiments of the
ptbern people.

FI.ATFORX OF THE PEOPLE**
PARTY.
Washington, September 3.—The Mis
souri People’s Convention say: In view of
the evils which we have been suffering
from disorder and partisan ring rule, we
deem it necessary for the best interests of
the State, that the people thereof should
take the management of affair* into their
own hands, and have therefore assembled
in convention independent of all party or
ganizations. Long and painful experi
ence has taught us that the custom of
eleoting State and local officers upou na
tional issues, which have nothing to do
with State aud local affairs, has served to
confuse the minds of the people with re
gard to State and local questions to
be decided by such elections, and has
thus become one of the chief causes
of reckless partisanship aud cor
ruption in public affairs, and we be
lieve it is time that tbe people should con
duct their government in all its branches
upon strict business principles, and should
choose State officers with reference to fit
ness for their respective duties and ques
tions of State policy alone.” They add :
We believe that the maintenance of the
inviolability of the school fund beyond the
reach of accidental majorities or corrupt
officers, or mercenary speculators is one of
the most sacred duties of State Govern-
raeuts, not only as the basis of intelligent
self-government and the best safe-guard
of public peaco and good order, but as an
iuducement to industrious and intelligent
immigration." They declare agninst
financial contraction as detrimental to the
interests of producing classes, favor water
courses, and the abolition of the monopoly
feature of the banking system.

THE WHITE PEOPLE’S REPLY TO PATTERSON.
Columbia, S. C., September 2.—At a
meeting of the Board of Trade of Colum
bia, held this evening, resolutions were
passed denouncing the attempt of certain
parties, and particularly of John Patter
son. to create a false impression as to the
relations which exist between the white
and colored people of this State. They
declare emphatically that there are no
signs of any danger of collision between
them ; that these reports and attempts are
disastroin to the prosperity of the people,
and that whatever appearance of trouble
may have existed, it was due and directly
traceable to oolored men, acting on the
advice and suggestion of bad white men,
who, for their own ends, are intent upon
bringing about a rupture between the
races. They brand the statement that
there is any danger of rupture as false,
and ask the National authorities to cause
an investigation to be made into the truth
of the ‘statements of Patterson or others
made at Washington.
Correspondence New York Herald.]
Rooky Mountains, Aug. 25, 1874.
Tbe reported discovery of cold in the
Black Hills by Custer’s expedition is oc
casioning great exoiteraeut along the
Upper Missouri, especially in the vicinity
of Bismarok, where the existence of rich
mines in the Black Hills has long been
believed in. Although the existence of
precious metals in tbe Black Hil.s is now
for the first time definitely announced to
the world, the faot has long been known
to soldiers, trappers, guides and hunters.
Our army officers have frequently spoken
of them and exhibited specimens of gold
brought into the forts by Indians. As
early as in 1862 an Indian from the Black
Hills visited Fort Laratuie, bringing with
him a considerable quautity of gold dust
and a number of fine nuggets.
So many persons were anxious to get
his gold that the Indian became alarmod
and threw it iuto the Platte river. Iu
I860 a Crow chief gave to Major Burt, at
Fort Phil Kearney, on the Powder river,
a spicula of pure gold as thick and almost
as long as a Faber lead pencil. In the
same year soldiers found gold in many
places along Powder river, Big Horn, Clear
Fork, Piuey, Goose, Wolf, Trout creeks,
and Tongue and Little Horn rivers. In
1864, it is related, Mr. Bullock* a post
trader, through some private arrangement
with a ohief of the Black Hills, estab
linked a trade in gold and got $20,000 out
of the Iudians in a short time. During
I860 two Indians frequently brought gold
to the forts And sold it. When pressed to
discover where they obtained it, they said
Gerry’s creek, a place in the Black Hills,
above Fort Laramie. Some white meu
bribed these Indians to show them the
place, and the party started out, but in
the night the Indians deserted aud the
white meu had to return. Two Iudians,
now at Whetstone Agency, say they know
of a place in a creek, not far from Lara
mie, where the bed of the stream is linod
with yellow shale rock, filled with gold.
The rock is so rotten, they state, that
thev have often picked out pieces of gold
with their butcher knives. It is a well-
known faot that several years ago an In
dian brought into Fort Laramie about a
quart of rotten shale rock tied up iu a
dirty cloth, und upon examination it was
found to contain over two hundred dol
lars’ worth of gold. He would not tell
where be got it, but the shale showed
water marks and had evidently been dug
from the bottom of a stream.
THE BIG HORN EXPEDITION.
Iu January, 1870, the famous “Big
Horn Gold Searching Expedition" was or
ganized. Fully 500 persons enrolled, but
less thnn 150 started. Yonr correspondent
saw this expedition at Fort Steele, Wyo
ming Territory, in June, 1870, and it was
thoroughly provisioned, equipped, aud
provided witn every means of locomotion
and defence. It became the subject of
Oongres-iional action, and a determined
effoit was made to abrogate the Sioux
treaty of 1866, that it might march through
lted Cloud's lands. The Government
warned the loaders of the expedition that
it would be unlawful for them to pursue
the route they had marked out; but the
expedition started, and had marched over
35(J milos when General Auger ordered
his oavalry to pursue the “Big Horners"
and compel them to return. They were
overhauled on Grey Bull river, a tributary
of the Big Horn and distant about 250
miles north of Bryan station, on the
Union Pacific Railroad. Some of the ex
plorers pushed on through to Montana
and came out at Fort Ellis, but tbo body
of the expedition returned with the troops
to Fort Brown, in the Wind river valley,
and marched thence to South Pass, whero
the men wore disbanded. The explora
tion produced great excitement in the
West at the time aud came near causing a
general Indian war.

TROOPS FOR THK SOUTH!
Yellew Fever on Shipboard.
Washington, Septembers.—The Signal
Office in this city, is in receipt of infor
mation that the brig Castelia, from Ha
vana, came in sight of the station at
Capo Henry, Thursday afternoon, and re-
ported tlio loss of the Captain and several
of the crew dead, from yellow fever, and
all the remainder of the crew prostrated

dug-out oa the land to the stateliest mau-
on the ssn-side—shall bo safe in his

till then, has tho Republican party per
formed ita mission.”
Vermont Election.
Montpelier, Vt., September 2.—The
returns still come in slowly, bnt enough
is known to indicate the eleotion of Judge
Peck, Republican, by the usual majority,
allowiogfor a lighter vote. The House
is overwhelming Republican, and the
Senate nearly unanimously the same way.
The vote for Governor in 113 towns
stands: Peck, 20,004; Bingham, 8,500.
In 1872, the vote in the same towns was :
Converse, 24,636; Heaton, Democrat,
10,513.
The contest in the Second Congression
al District has been a very hot one, and
results in the defeat of Judge Poland.
The bolters mainly supported Hon. D. C.
Dennison, of itoy niton, in Windsor coun
ty, bnt their advice to their followers was
to vote for anybody to draw votes from
Poland. The exact result of the ballot of
yesterday in 42 towns out of 80 is : Po
land, 8,852; Dennison, 5,251; Davenport,
1,300; scattering, 584. In 1872, the vote

RETICENCE OF THE INDIANS.
It is almost impossible to get Iudians
to tell of the existence of gold in their
country, and it is rarely they cun be
scared or bribed into showing white
where it is to be found. Old John, for a
bottle of whiskey, discovered the White
Pine mines to Cuptuio Collier, and Natty
Gamo, for a keg of the same staff, showed
white men the Sweetwater gold mines,
but these are isolated instances. Long
ago tbe famous Catholic priest, Father
Do Suiet, who spent most of his life
among the wild Indian tribes of the West,
told the Sioux if the white men fouud out
thcro was gold in their conntry they
would come, drive out tho game and take
possession of the land. The Father
seemed to have a very high opiniou of
Yankee enterprise, for he told the Crows,
“So much do the pale faces love gold that
to possess it they will kill one auother,
cross mountains and livers — yea, go
through fire and risk their souls’ salvation
or sell themselves outright to the devil to
obtain it.” The Indians have remember
ed the teachings of the old priest, and
not one of them to this day will show a
a white man whore there are gold or sil
ver mines. Iu some tribes it is niAde a
penalty of deAth to discover the presence
of precious metal, and no Indian could
live if through any ant of his a horde of
miners were brought into a country belong
ing to tho Indians. His tribe would
certainly kill him. That vust quantities
of gold exist in the Black Hills there is
not a doubt, and that it will soon be found
ami made subservient to the wants and
conveniences of man is equally certain,
Professor Agassiz declared that there were
only three great deposits of gold in the
world— one in Africa, one in Australia,
and the other somewhere in the basin of
the Rocky Mountains. James Garder
Austin said : “One day such vast quanti
ties of gold will be found in the Rocky
Mountains of America as almost to shake
the value of that most precious of all
metals. ” I have been in the Rocky Moun
tain country since 1868, and all my expe
rience goes*to convince me that the mine*
of Montana, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming
aro bnt the outlying spurs of a great cen
tral deposit. Just where it will be found
of course it is impossible to tell, but I be-
