COMANCHE RAIDS IN TEXAS.
Fort Dennison, Tex., Oct. 29.— Lieut.
Quinby, here from Fort Kichardson, re¬
ports the Indians very hostile. They
have committed several mnrders. A fam¬
ily living near Ouachita butchered. The
settlers fled to ranches which were be¬
sieged. Two companies left Fort Rich¬
ardson for their rescue. The Indians are
believed to be the Comanches.
SUSPENSIONS, SHORT TIME, DIS¬
CHARGES.
New York, Oct. 29.— Piano, billiard
and cigar manufacturers, and other pro¬
ducer of luxuries are conducting busi¬
ness with great caution. Large factories
are being run on half time and with half
their usual force, while smaller establish¬
ments have in the main closed altogether.
This course, made necessary by finan¬
cial disturbances, aud throws out of work
large numbers of men and women. Ar¬
rangements are expected to be made,
whereby most of the factories will be able
to keep their hands at work on part time,
at least, thus preventing a great deal of
suffering.
MAMMOTH CAVE .
The Lessee Fatally Shot by One of
His Agents.
Louisville, Oct. 27.—A special to the
'Courier-Journal from Cave City, Ky.,
states that a difficulty occurred to-day be¬
tween D. L. Graves, the proprietor of the
.Mammoth Cave Hotel, and E. Wilcoxen,
.an agent for the cave, in which pistols
were used and several shots fired by both
parties. Graves received a wound in the
bowels which it is thought will prove
fatal. Wilcoxen is unhurt. The cave
guides and others witnessed the shooting,
but were unable to prevent it.

THE DAILY SUN
VOL. XIX.
NORTH CAROLINA
HER REVOLUTIONARY HISTORY.
Mines, Herbs, &c.
Valley, Talbot Co., Ga., Oct. 2;>.
Ed. Sun: We left Charlotte on the
Air Line Railroad, at nine o’clock at
night, and reached Atlanta at twelve the
next day. This road runs through a rich
and romantic country, within two miles of
the celebrated Tuccoa Falls, and in sight
of King’s Mountain, where the gallant
Gen. Ferguson fell, fighting before the
fire of North and South Carolina and Vir¬
ginia riflemen, commanded by Shelby
and Williams. We were tempted, espec¬
ially by Mr. Adams, (the head of a large
gold mining company, whose acquain¬
tance we made at Charlotte,) to delay a
few days at the latter place. He spoke
cheerfully of his success and prom¬
ised to exhibit a museum worthy
the attention of a worshiper of
real money, and the memories of heroes
purified by the fires of our grand revolu¬
tion. Few abroad have correct ideas as
to the value of these mines. An old
Charlotte merchant told us that before a
certain mine was stopped in its work by a
writ of injunction, he purchased from it
in three months, eighty-two thousand dol¬
lars of the pure metal. We remember to
have seen when a boy, a single piece of
virgin gold, found near Charlotte, which
weighed nine pounds; and the largest
over known in its natural shape, was pick¬
ed up at the Reid Mine, Cabarrus county
upwards of a half century ago. Its
weight as recorded by eye-witnesses,
geographers, geologists was twenty-eight
pounds. A little of the dust from these
deposits, sprinkled over our cotton fields,
would prove excellent fertilizers at pres¬
ent, and stop the shrinkage of individual
and national pockets. The fact is we are
ready to adopt the prayer of old Holbrook,
once a pious Charlotte miner:—“0 !
Lord, shower down on us, and that quick -
ly, more gold and bigger lumps, br we can
never rise from these low-grounds of sin
and sorrow!’’
Some one has said, give us the ballad¬
making of a nation, and we ask no greater
power. “Make us sculptors,” said the
lion to the man, and “we will chisel lions
astride of you Lords of Creation." North¬
ern writers have appreciated these truths,
aud hence the misrepresentations not
only of our late, blit of our first revolu¬
tionary struggle. No individual or nation
can stand the loss of self-respect, the
consequent of admitted humiliation and
degradation. Neither God nor the world
will help those who refuse to help them¬
selves. If we listen to their editors, ora¬
tors, divines, school teachers and book¬
makers, we must confess that the New
Englanders are the superiors of all crea¬
tion. They tell us of Boston and Con¬
cord, of Lexington and Bunker Hill; but
neglect to inform us that years before re¬
bellion was a chief virtue in New Eng
Iind, and British tea was Ku-kluxed at
Boston, the “Black Boys” of Cabarrus,
N. C., had taken the war-path, and the
“Regulators” of then Orange county, had
locked bayonets with English troops
(1771), on the banks of the Allamance.
Mecklenburg soon followed and declared
Independence, May 20, 1775. The world
need not be told that the sun of freedom
which then and there rose so brightly and
shed its meridian light and heat at old
Guilford C. H. W 6 nt down in blood and
darkness on the field of Bennettsville,
nearby the very spot of its origin. Well
might Barrington, royal Governor of
North Carolina, writing to the Duke of
Newcastle (1731), say:
“The people of North Carolina always
behaved insolently to the Governors.
Some, they have imprisoned, others ex¬
iled, and at times set up a Governor of
their own, supported by arms.”
Thus may it ever be with tyrant 3 , for¬
eign and domestic, and from the un¬
known but not unhonored ashes of these
“ insolent ” rebels, may yet spring a phoe¬
nix which will fan the corpse of the South
into immortal life aud vigor. We believe,
in our letter from Salisbury, we promised
to say something more about a new ele¬
ment or enterprise and wealth in North
Carolina. One day, in conversation at a
corner of a street in Statesville, with the
Hon. Abram Venable, he directed our
attention to two fine mules tugging at a
wagon. The load was not familiar to us
as it seemed neither to be cotton nor corn.
He ask 6 d us to “guess,” but not being
Yankee enough for the occasion, we could
not see it. He told us it was a shipment
of native roots and herbs, from the bo¬
tanical collection of Wallace Bros. & Ste¬
venson, on their way to the depot and
from thence to England, Canada, St.
Louis, Boston, aud the Lord knows where.
We afterwards visited the immense col¬
lection, and there witnessed upwards of
four hundred varieties of roots, herbs and
dried flowers, assorted and deposited in
bales, barrels and hogsheads. Millions
of pounds leave the place to return to the
South from foreign labratories, in the
shape of medicines or perfumes. The cele¬
brated ginseng is sent to China, where it
is used, as we Westerns use tobacco, and
is worth its weight in gold. Hundreds
of children find employment, at good
wages, in the collection of seeds, roots,
herbs, <fcc., otherwise worthless. M. E.
Hyams, the intelligent Superintendent
and chief botanist, told us on this, the
second year, the business will reach $50,-
1)00. Some are shipped in a green state
and some put in alcoholic fluids. Flowers
are frequently salted aud thus contain
and preserve more odor than in a natural
way.
An anecdote or two connected with Mr.
Venable and we will close this dull letter.
He is a link between a past and existing
generation of statesmen. He was on a
visit to Statesville to see his daughter,
who is Principal of a Female College.
He is not only a fast and long but a good
talker, and therefore Bhould have been
born not of, but a woman. When in
Congress, a wager was made that he could
talk longer than any man in the United
i States. A Western hoosier with a
tongue of steel and lungs of brass,
i was his competitor. They talked
. three days and nighte without ceasing,
I
COLUMBUS GA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1873.
but on the fourth, the Hoosier
kicked over and was dead as Cmsar and
Venable game to the last, was whispering
m the dull cold ears of his once noisy n
val. It is said he inherited his talking
talents from an excellent mother. The
mother once took the lead and the
stood by, ready to burst, in his anxiety to
slip in a word. “Wait a little said the
man of speech, “wait. ! wait-for the old
lady will soon spit."
Mr. „ Venable is now seventy-five years
old and remains a fine specimen of a gen
tleman and statesman in the better
and purer days of our once Republic,
Long may he live to illlustrate and per
sonate the talent and virtue of the good
old “North State. G. A. M.
SIX ACRES BURNED OVER.
About Eighty Houses in Ruins.
Syracuse, N. Y. Oct. 27.—A fire broke
out in Oanastota last night, which was
three hotels, thirty-two dwellings and be¬
tween forty and fifty places of business.
The total loss is estimated by insurance
agents at $150,000 ; total iuserance $90,
000. The fire was undoubtedly incen¬
diary. The business portion of the town
was all destroyed, except the Beecher
Block. The citizens held a meeting to¬
night and passed resolutions inviting pe¬
cuniary aid of the charitable everywhere,
and appointing Mr. D. H. Rasbacht,
Cashier of Conastota Bank, to receive any
contributions. A committee was also ap¬
pointed to investigate the oause of such
frequent fires.
THE BURNING OE COLUMBIA.
Special to the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Washington, Oct 26.— The statement
that the British aud American Claims
commission gave a quasi-judicial decision
to the effect that Columbia, South Caroli¬
na, was not burnt by the Federal forces,
is unfounded. The evidence before the
commission going to show that the town
was fired by Sherman’s soldiers, with the
knowledge and connivance of the leading
officers, was overwhelming; but the agent
and counsel for the United States, Mr.
Hale, quoted authorities to show that a
belligerent may lawfully destroy the pro¬
perty of an enemy and of all neutrals re¬
siding in the invaded country, aud that
the measure of such destruction must be
the judgment of the invading belligerent
himself. The commission disallowed the
twenty-four South Carolina causes, as
they did nearly all others. They rejected,
without assigning any reasons whatever,
and the natural inference is that they
decided questions of law for the United
Statates rather than the historical fact,
which was established and very feebly
disputed. The documents printed and
used before the commission constitute a
very large mass. The proceedius are all
concluded, except the payment of the
fortunate claimants. Mr. Henry Howard,
Secretary of the British Legation, will i
probably be selected to disburso on the
part of Great Britain to British claimants
the amounts found due to them.
SOME LIVE QUESTIONS.
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.)
Washington, Oct. <23.— As to who will
be Speaker of the next House of Itepre
sentatives, who will be chairman of the
principal committees, what will be the
complexion of the committees, will those
re-elected memhers who were connected
with the Credit Mobiliar scandal be made
to take back seats, will the salary grab
section of the appropriation bill be re¬
pealed and like subjects, there are as
many ideas and theories advanced by
prominent men and members of Congress
as there are men who entertain decided
opinions, and who have been heard from
in relation to these matters. It seems to
be generally conceded that no combina¬
tion or set of combinations that are like¬
ly to be gotten up will defeat the election
of Mr. Blaine for Speaker; but as to the
Credit Mobilier men aud their chances
to again obtain important chairmanships,
there is great doubt in the minds of near¬
ly everybody.
General Butler is reported as having
denied the truth of the published state¬
ment that he is trying to get the Republi¬
can members of the next House to hold a
caucus and declare against giving places
oa leading committees to any members
implicated in the Credit Mobilier trans¬
actions. Nevertheless, he nor nobody
else who knows anything about it, denies
that such a proposition will be made in
caucus, and a strong effort made to adopt
it. A prominent Congressman recently
remarked that candidates for the Speaker
ship would be glad if some such decision
by caucus could be adopted, so as to re¬
lieve whoever is elected Speaker of the
trouble he would naturally encounter if
he were left to decide for himself, and
probably have to discriminate against the
class of members alluded to.
A Profitable Investment for
Capitalists.
A Cotton Factory
TO BE BUILT ON THE
V/ater Site of the Palace Mills,
Columbus, Ga.
It is proposed to build on the water
site of the Palace Mills, a COTTON
FACTORY for the manufacture of Cotton
Goods. The Capital Stock will be 1850,000,
which will include an ample floating capital.
The building and machinery will be erected
and arranged under the direction ot J. Rhoobs
Bbownb, Esq. The building will be a sub¬
stantial structure, and the machinery of the
most approved patterns.
The capital of the public is Invited to this
enterprise as one promising sure, speedy and
profitable results. No subscription will be
binding until *200,000 is secured, when the sub¬
scribers wilt be invited to convene for the pur¬
pose of organizing the Company, and the work
will be commenced.
NO TAXATION, either State, County or
Municipal, attaches to this investment .for
Ten Years. The BEST water power on the
river is secured; the warehouses of cotton are at
the door; the railroads radiate from the city to
every market for the goods; and operatives are
soliciting employ ment. With such advantages
is it unreasonable to promise a profit oi 20 per
cent, per annum on the investment.
Subscriptions will be received at the Chatta¬
hoochee National Bank; the Merchants and
Mechanics Bank, and the Banking Office of
the Georgia Home Insurance Company.

The Only Known Medicine
THAT AT THE SAME TIME
Purges, Purifies, and Strengthens the
System. mftny
Dr. Tutt’s Pills are composed of In¬
gredients. Prominent among them are Sar¬
saparilla ami Wild Cherry, so united as to act
together; the one, through its admixture with
other subtances, purifying and purging; while
the other is strengthening the the time system. and Thus
these Pills are at same a tonic a
cathartic, t desideratum long discovered. sought for by
medical men, but never before In
oilier words, they do the work ol two medicines
and do it much netter than any two we know
of, for th y remove nothing from the system
but impurities, so that while they purge they
also strengthen and hence they cause no de¬
bility and are followed by no reaction.
I)r. Tutt’s Pi lls have a wonderful influence
on the blood. They not only all purify without
weakening it, but they remove noxious par¬
ticles from the chyle before it is converted into
fluid, and thus makes impure blood an utter
impossibility. As there is no debilitation, so
there is no nausea or sickness attending the
operati- n of this most excellent medicine,
which never strains or tortures the digestive
organs, but causes them to work in a perfectly
natural manner; lienee persons taking them
do not become pale ami emaciatea* but on the
contrary, while all impurities arc being remov¬
ed, the combined action of the Sarsaparilla
and Wild Cherry purifies and invigorates the
body, and a robust state cf health is the result
of their united action. Price, 25 c nts a box.

TO THE PUBLIC:
Through the darkest hours of Georgia’s history THE CONSTITUTION stood fearlessly by
you and your rights, against proscription, persecution, and even heavy libel suits by irate Rad¬
ical Governors. In spite of such opposition THE CONSTITUTION has grown to a prosperity
unsurpassed in the South. Wo now propose to show our appreciation of the people’s support by
a grand distribution of presents. Mark you, it is no lottery; you do not give one cent more than
your subscription, and you do only what subscribers should always do—pay in advance.
The percentage of loss thus saved by us, aud in expense of collecting, enable us to return it to
subscribers in presents, aud realize profit beside. Now wo appeal to your gratitude and gen¬
erosity, and if you hear that appeal, as you will, we shall erect a building capable of accommo¬ noble
dating our Increased business, and which shall stand as a memorial monument to the
liberality of the subscribers ol THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION— their Christmas Present.
Who cannot pay the small sum of one year’s subscription In advance? Surely every subscriber
will do so; and some will receive in return the grand presents of $7,600.
