graphs Cistove, August 18th, a detailed
account of events which caused Gen.
Gourko to retreat. The aocount shows that

by the superior forces of the
Turks, and Although the Russians
gained a brilliant victory at Yeni Sag bra,
July 80th, Gen. Gourko was compelled to
retreat on the following day, although in
sight of Eski Baghra, where he was oblig
ed to leave the Bulgarian legion who were
operating as a separate body, to their fate.
Of the Bulgarian legion whioh was origi
nally 1,000 strong, only four or five hun
dred managed to reach Sohipka Pass.
Exclusive of the Bulgarian loss, Gen.
Gourko lost 3,000 men in the two days
fighting of the 30th and 31st of July.
During Gourko’s retreat through the nar
row Dolboka And Hainkoi Passes, which
was accomplished ou the second inst., the
wounded died like flies from the jolting
their oonveyanoes and exposure.
Hale men succumbed from fatigue and
sunstroke. The Russian oavalry is now
all on this side of the Balkans. Bohipka
Pass is strongly fortified, armed with
twenty-oight guns And garrisoned by a
regiment of the 8th Division. Two regi

FATAL SHOOTING OF A DBAKBMAN IN A
PASSENGER OAR.
NashviUo American,]
Mohoh Howard, oolored, shot and killed
Henry Ready, brukeman on the Louis
ville *fc Memphis Road, just after the pas
senger train left Paris at 1L o’clock Tues
day night.
As soon as the shooting was done,
Howard jumped from the train, but was
subsequently arrested and lodged in Paris
jail. No one was in the coach at tbe
lime of the shootiug save a newsboy, who
was asleep, aud auother negro who got
on with Howard. The boy heard them
fussing aud got up off the Beat upon
whioh he had just been laying just as the
negro shot and ran. Howard went out ou
the platform of the ooaob, uud on ooming
back slammed the door very bard. Ready
told him not to do that agaiu, as it would
break the gluss iu the door. From that
the difficulty originated. Ready had
been employed on the Memphis division
of the Louisville and Nashville and Great
Southern Railroad for seven years, and
wua considered a good brakeman, and was
a single man twenty-one years of age.
His purents arc both dead. He was a
Memphis iubu.
Howard will undergo a preliminary ex
amination this morning. Col. Cole, of
Pans, has been engaged to proseoute him.
Still another version is given of this
railroad tragedy. From a gentleman
who got his ucoount from ono of the jury
men who viewed Ready's body, an Amer
ican reporter obtained the following as
having been the testimony of the news
boy before the jury«
The boy staled that just after leaving
Paris Tuesday night, quite a volume of
smoke was blowing into the oar through
the open door. Howard got up and was
about to shut it, when a sudden motion
of the tr»»in caused the door to slam too
very hard. For this Ready roundly cursed
and abused him, going so far as to oall
the negro b liar. Howard told him he
did not want to have a difficulty with
him. This remark called forth more
abuse, snd, saying he would fix him,
Ready went over to the newsboy and
asked him if he had a knife. The boy
told him he had only a penknife. When
Ready returned toward Howard he had
his hand ratbor behind him, apparently
in a threatening attitude. As soon as he
got within a few feet of Howard, the lat
ter threw down his pistol And fired, the
ball passing through Ready’s left lung, al
most instantly killing him.
THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE SPIRIT OF RE
CONCILIATION AND PEACE.
Greenbrier Wuite Sulphur Springs,
West Viboinia, August 17. —Wade Hamp
ton and Gov. Matthews of West Virginia,
were serenaded to-night by the First
Virginia Regiment, Colonel Bradloy T.
Johnston iu command. Colonel Johuston
in a short and eloquent address, spoke
for the oitizeu soldiers. Gov. MatthewB
in response, introduced Gov. Hampton.
He informed the South Carolina Governor
that this was an assemblage of Republi
cans aud Democrats. Iu some of tbe
companies before him were ineu who
wore the blue, and others who woro the
gray. They join in this demonstration of
respeot for the man of the Palmetto State
who is preeminently the representative of
the spirit of reconciliation and peace.
Governor Hampton received uu enthu
siastic greeting. After expressing his
thanks for the compliment, he touohed
upon the strugglo in South Caroliua.
“Now, thank God ! she is no longer the
prostrate State, bnt the Palmetto State of
old !" It wat his pride that the victory
was won without appealing to foroe. It
waB the result of the harmonious union
of black and white. Governor Mutthows
has told us that in the regiment before ns
are men who wore the gray and others
who wore the blue. I am glad to see
them. [Cheers.] I was not always glad
to see the blue ; but I used to give them
as warm a welcome ah I oonld. I am glut!
to see this spirit of fraternity. I am glud
to see them here, shoulder to shoulder,
under oue flig and one Constitution.
[Cheers]
“The conservative feeliug of the South
finds tit illustration in the uniou of the
brave boys of the North amt South. I
am rejoiced to koow that while riot aud
bloodshed had roged at the North, the
South had remained peaceful aud law
abidiug, looking not only to the preserva
tion of order in her Mates, but expresaiug
in an numistakable mauuer In r solicitude
for the safety of her national oapital, and
her desire to be of Bervioe to the natiou&l
Government. [Applause.] Thousands
of men in South Curoliua indicated to me
their willingness to go North and render
the President any aid iti their power.
They would have been glad to have gone,
and stood shoulder to shouldor with the
men they onoe fought—this time to pro
tect a common oouutry.
“Let the people of the North remem
ber this: We recognize that the Uuion
is restored; wo recognize the Constitution
of the United States; aud whou I say that,
I mean the Constitution with all its
amendments. [Applause.] We have
surrendered in good faith. The Southern
States now ask for equal laws. Let Maine
be put on a par with South Caroliua. Re
gard Louisiana as you do Massachusetts,
and you will find no men in tho Union
who will stand by the Constitution of tbo
United States more loyally than tho meu
of the South. [Great cheeriug. ]
“Soldiers aud citizens of tho North,
will yon forget the shout of viotory while
we extend the baud of fraternity? We
ptopose to uphold the laws in
every Southern State. We do
not want a strong standing
army. [Cheers.] Wo want
standing army in time of peaoe. Wo oan
commit our interests to our citizen sol
diery. We want union and peace and
fraternity. As States, let us be as distinct
as the billows; as a couutry, let ns bo one
as the sea—all people striving alike for
the happiness and prosperity of the whole
American Republic.” [Cheers.]
Wade Hampton spoke the sentiment of
the South. His sentiments were ap
plauded by every listener. Congressman
Goode followed in a happy addreHH.
Later tbe Governors held an informal re
ception in tbe parlor, hundreds of lodios
participating.
A FARM OF SIXTY THOUSAND ACRES, WITH
STOCK VALUED AT $75,000.
Nueoes Times.]
Mr. Shaffer pre-empted 160 acres of
land in this oouutry in 18G1, and estab
lished a sheep rauohe. The war followed.
He made no appreciable progress in his
condition until 1865, when bis fortuue
took a turn. At this time (18G5) he
owued 3,000 head of sheep, all improved.
I he original stock of 2,000 hosd he pur
chased from A. Toutaut Beauregard,
brother of tho General. Four years after
that he purchased 1,500 ewes of the cele
brated George Wilkins Kendal flock, hav
ing, in all, 8000 head of ewos and bucks,
ousting him $50 a head. Mr. Shaff'^r's
income for the year 187G may bn summed
upas follows: Ewes sold, 2,275, at. $(>,.
7 tG; bucks and weathers sold, $3,859;
wool sold 82,000 pounds, $10,000; income
for 187G, $28,575.
To maintain his establishment nnd ntn
tend to sheep requires an outlay of near
ly $700 per month. From twenty five to
thirty men are constantly employed. The
floeks of sheep are divided into 1,200 to
each flock, under tho oare of a ‘pastoro,’
and over every throe pastores is a *bnoo-
rio,’ or ovorneor, having that particular
three under hiH special oare. Over nil
the baoerios is a head mau. Two large
mule teams are constantly hauling sup*
plies, and in the storehouse of the rancho
is a stock sufficient to start an ordinary
oountry store. Of ewes, bucks, and
lambs ho has now 1G.OOO head, less about
250, valued at about $75,000.
A few years ngo, foreseeing that a large
trnot of land would soon be necessary to
maintain bis rapidly growing fiockN, and
afford never fuiling pasturage,when prices
were comparatively low he commenced
the pnrohtiso of what has since swelled in
to a princely domain, watered by six or
seven different si reams, chief among
whioh are tho Agua Duloo, Sun Fernanda
and Lagarto. This tract, now contains
00,000 acres of land. With the fence
completed whioh ho has now under way,
these ucrea will not be worth less than $2
each. The trnot measures fifteen
miles in long’!), and from ten
to twelve wide, and is covered with
plentiful supply of timber. Forty miles
of fencing will he required to inclose it.
Mr.Shnffer's dwelling is situated ueurly in
the middle, and in addition to a very
comfortable dwelling, ho has a stone
warehouse for the storage o fwool, a large
stable, And a dozen or more outbuildings
for servants.
Three or four immense customs supply

A gentleman of the commercial traveler
class was at Wells river last week, and
between whiles thought a little trouting
would have a good effect upon his per
8ua'<ive powers, lie procured a team
and betook himself to South Ryegate.
Arrivng At a farm house, near his finning
ground, ho duly made fast his horse, and
plied the piscatory art with all due zeal.
An agriculturist appeared unto him, and
made the statement that he bad put up
the horse and fed him; for whioh com
pliment and kindness “piscator” duly
acknowledged his gratitude. Whereupon
Mr. Farmer propounded the conumdrum
of “laws regarding fishiDg upon brooks,”
and acquainted our fisherman with tbe
fact that his bill for the “boss keep was,
with the damages to his fishing privilege
just $5. This was duly paid. When the
pair arrived at the house, the fisherman
spied a fine dog lying upon the door step,
aud asked (he price of the farmer, who
stated ho had been offered $25 for him
Our drummer thereupon drew his revolver,
and stated inasmuch as the dog had no
collar, he was disposed to enforce the dog
law, aud would “shoot him on the spot,
or, would take the $5 paid for “boas keep”
and fishing tho brook, and $5 more for
instance.” No appeal from this judgment
being appsront, the $10 changed hands,
end one went hts way thinking
how pleasant it was to abide by the law,
end the other stayrd at home studying
out “whether ho had bought e dog or kept
e livery stable.”
Here is tho way poor old Morton talked
to tho Ohio Republicans :
“There is a solid South Against us. How
long it will lsst I do not know, but under
stand this is tbo situation to-day, aud that
the South expects to wield the sentiment
as one voice in the Hpproaobing political
contest. It is important, therefore, that
the North should stand together; that you
should stand together in the great strug
gle; that we shall not loso all that we
have won. We must proserve the con
stitutional amendments; we must pre
serve the fruits of the war; all our inter*,
eats, both Democrats and Republicans,
ere alike. If the people of the South are
straggling for their own recuperation,
they oare not a fig for the Democracy of
the North. Nothing has happened show
ing that they care a whit for them. They
have not forgotten that tbe Democracy of
the North encouraged them to go into the
rebellion, and made them believe that
they would not permit them to remain in
the Union. Dot they aot with the Demo
cratic party of the North because they
have an object. The people of the South
have thoir own policy to carry out, their
own wrongs to redress, their own lossos
to pny oft'. And they want to mako tho
Northern Democrat and Republican pay
for their losses, and if wo have to pay
them the Northern Democrats will huvo
to pay thoir sbaro. That will bo some
consolation. Tho South—wo havo for
given them. They oost 500,000 lives and
$6,000,000,000 by their crimes. There is
scaroely a family in all this land in whioh
there is not a vacant chair. Rut we for
give them all that. All wo ask is that
they shall be good citizens. We claim
the right to go there, live and have our
own opinions and Access to every privi
lege that we give them when they come
hero. With that we will bo satisfied, and
with nothing else.”
This is verily a voioe from the tombs,
which may well give Morton’s friends se
rious apprehensions about the stability of
his reason.
Tho American People.
No people in the world suffer as much
with Dyspepsia as Americans. Although
years of experience in medicine bad fail
ed to accomplish a certain aud mire rem

as Sour Stomach, Heart burn, Water
Brash, Sick Headache, Costivonoss, Pal
pitation of the Heart, Liver Complaint,
coming up of the food, low spirits, gen

believe there is no case of Dyspepsia that
The Colton Din.
The ootton-gin was invented in 1793.
The oultnre of cotton was begun in the
Southern Colonies iu 1770. It was an
experiment for whioh tbe older nations of
the world were not prepared, and was not
suited only to a bold and ndventurous
people. In 1784, tbo year Hfter tho close
of the Revolutionary war, n vessel from
this oountry,that hnd carried to Liverpool
eight bales of cotton, was seized iu that
port upou the 'specious oharge of illicit
trade, grounded on tho presumption that
so large a quantity of cotton could not
E ossibly have boon tbe production of tbo
nitedStateH. Eleven years later than
this, in 1795, when the commercial treaty
whioh bears the name of Mr. Jay was
negotiated between tbe United States
and Great Britain, ono artiolo of the treaty,
as it originally stood, prohibited the ex
portation from this oonntry, in American
vessels of suoh artioles as Great Britain
had previously imported from the West
Indies. Mr. Jay was surprised to loam
subsequently that ootton was included iu
this prohibition, And still more surprised
to be made aoquanted with the fact, of
whioh bo was till then wholly unaware,
that ootton was becoming an artiole of ex
port from tho United States. The* culture
was continued, amid difficulties and embar
rassments which constantly threatened its
abandonment, till 1791 the whole amount
of oottou exported from tho United States
•was but 189,316 pounds. The
next year, that preceding tho invention of
ootton-gin, the amount exported was
diminished 50,000 pounds. There was,
in faot, from the inoipienoy of tho oul-
taro to tho period of this invention, no
indication of any tendency to an increase
of tho prodnetion. The chief difficulty
in the prosecution of the enterprise had
been found to be tbe extremely slow aud
laborious prooess of oleauing tho green
seed cottou, or separating it from the
seed; and so serious had this ombarttHS-
ment ootne to be regarded that tbo cul
tivators were generally inclined to yield
to it as an insuperable objection to what
bad been tho grand design of tbo under
taking, namely, the raising of cotton for
tbe European market. The green-seed
cotton is that whioh is commonly known
us the upland or bowed Georgia cotlou,
by which name it iH distinguished from
l hut produced in tho islands and low dis
tricts noar tho shore, called sea inland, or
black-seed ootton. The latter is the finest
kind, and derives its name from the cir
cumstances of its having been flirt culti
vated in this country in tbo low sandy
islands on the coast of South Carolina. It
will not flourish at a distance from the
sea, aud its quality deteriorates as it is
removed from “tho salutary action of
the ocean’s spray.” It has a longer
fibre than other cottons K and is of a pecu
liarly even and silky texturo, which
qualities give it its superior market value.
Tho expression “bowed,” which is appli
ed to the upland oottou, is descriptive of
tho moans that were employed for clean
ing it, or loosening tho filament from the
seed, previous to the invoution of the oot
ton gin. The prooess was similar to that
employed by batters for beating up wool
to tho proper consistency lor felting
strings, attaohed to a bow, were brought
in contact with a heap of uncleaued oot
ton, and struck so as to oauso violent vi
brations, and thus to open the locks of
cotton and permit the easy separation of
the seed from tbe fibre. Tbe cleaning
was likewise done wholly by band, tbo
work of bow-strings being scarcely more
efficient than that accomplished by the
fingers of the slaves. In either case tho
proooss was discouragingly tedious and
slow. Whitney’s cotton gin overcame all
this difficulty, and furnished the means of
separating the seed and cleaning tho oot-
