FACOOCHEE TROUBLES. | A*#T**M BTATKIIXT OF THEIR OMIGISf, ETC. r« ji 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. [ trust our people will preserve a mas- rly prudence. In reality wa should ys but little to fear from the threatened break of the blacks; not that I do not eve that many of them have mischief hem, and the desire to riot, bat that moral weakness, when the oomos, will serve him like | darkey who was being cat to pieces ip another, while he stood with an ax iu aud. When asked why he didn't use |tx upon his adversary, he replied, that fceart failed him. It is with the help- [ that fear should be aroused, as it is \ this class only that his heart does fnil him. The negro, although he Kitutos not one-tenth of the popula pf the United Btatos, yet nine-tenths I outrages upou helpless woman are fitted by him. Oat of all the igno- ahites, numbering doubtless more ,.l4be negro, scarcely one-tenth of the ■Hal^trociuu j_aud henious of all offences a«C to he charged to him; and I would aril What goes with the comparison of white and negro morals ? Naturally, as a class, he is not industrious. After careful trial for the last eight ynfB, never, until racentlj claiming lees than ten, and moat always as high as twenty-live, I have at laat from actual axperiance ascertained that the white me. and laborer ia more reliable, aud IkhtWe negro is only valuable when Soeely overseed. A* to the farmer controlling hie ex-elave whentoo was freed, you have only to en- qoive of the people who owned them. It neral idea that they didn't have “free lorn” ns long ea they remained ft the eld home, and they wonld have to I—Utile to say “matter," and they ' * ’ 1't get the forty acres and mole Ho ly left. From the very first there estrangement brought about by their new mesters, the beggem,” gave these rules it lemon, and he readily and wil- ibibed them. Whoever sup- the ex-master oonld have led the ex-elave in any manner— illy or otherwise—is limply mis. i nformed about the matter. It was even attempted by many of the beat men of the country, by entering into the “Leagues.” It ia useless to state their experience. Onr people know their cha grin. These ere all living truths, which no time will erase, and will stand a per petual refutation against all the chargee of injustice laid at the Southern white man'a door—“that his pejudice works hard against the poor blaok man.” In oonolnaion, I will remark that if the migration of Sambo from onr lands will leave it a howling wilderness, let' us have it in all ita virgin purity; and even re turn the red man with bis scalping-knife, for we might hope to manage him, as he ia not the “preferred ward of the na tion.” Lee. MISSOURI. ^ 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 LAND OF GOLD. DISCO YEKY OF THE PRKCTOl’B METAL KM THE HI.At'It HILL*. Traditions or Ita Existence. AN IMMENSE CENTRAL DEPOSIT YET UN- SOUTH CAROLINA. 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. EIU1ITI1 UEORUU DIMTRIC'I'. BiLLOTINO for congressional nominee. Augusta.

This was dona at the request of Maj. Gumming, who ap peared before the convention. Mr. Stephens’ nomination was finally made unanimous. Mr. Stephens waa declared the nominee of the Democratic party and the convention then adjourned. BANKRUPTCY. AN IMPORTANT DECISION. New York, Sept. 3.—Judgo Blatchford, in a baukrupt case, gave a decision yes terday to tho effect that wheu the assets of the bankrupt fail to reach 50 per oent. of the claims proven against the estate, he cannot have a discharge, unless by consent of a majority in number and value of his creditors, in acoordanoe with the provision of the act of 1868, which, the court holds, has not been modified by subsequent legislation. 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 with same disease. The Signal Sergeant telegraphed to Norfolk for assistance, and the pilot boat Calvert uouveyed her to a safe anchorage between the Horse Shoe aud Lynnhaven bays, to awAit medical aid. The Radical Clasp far Continued Life. Omaha, Sopt. 3.—The Republican Con vention fancies tho immortality of the party is foreshadowed thus: “When every maa in the South—be he rod, black, or white—from the humblest dug-out oa the land to the stateliest mau- on the ssn-side—shall bo safe in his sentiments and bis person, then, and not 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 in the same towns stood : Poland, 7,566 ; Steele, bolter, 2,130; Davenport, Dem., 1,872; scattering, 245.

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- Natlonal Board of hteau* Navigation. Buffalo, Sept. 3.—In the National Board of Steam Navigation to-day the thanks of the Board were tendered to Congress for an appropriation for the improvement of the Delaware and Schuyl kill rivers, aud for the establishment of lights at dangerous points.
