Dalton Citizen: During one of the

Gen. John B. Gordon telegraphed
as follows on the third to the Augus
ta Constitutionally: “The editorial
statement of the Chronicle and Senti
nel of the 28th inst-, that I was
absent without a pair when the en
forcement bill passed the'Senate, is
unfounded. I was paired with Cam
eron, of Pensylvania, I am never
absent without a pair. The insinua
tion that the cause of my absence was
to aid a personal friend as candidate
for Governor is equally unfounded.
Please ask the fair minded press of
the State to copy,”
Dalton Citizen: Colquitt is evident
ly the “coming man” for Governor—
everything now points in that direc
tion, and if there is not a “great un
known” tired out, he will come in
on the first or second heat. Harde
man will be second best on the track,
but he will give out on the “home
stretch” for the want of sufficient
following; and Johnson and James
it now seems will be distanced by the
above gentlemen in every run.
There may be a “great unknown”
and his name may be Gus Reese, or
it may be Judge Warner, or it may
be Gen. Lawton. Who knows?
Any one of them will suit us, for
they are all good and true men- able,
talented, honest and every way wor
thy the confidence and support of the
party.

THE BIG HORN DISASTER,
Castar’s Hide into the Jaws of Distrac
tion.
Washington, July 7.— There is
yet no official account of the battle.
Gen Terry gives a detailed aeeout of
events before the fight and events af
ter the 28th of June, which mainly
confined to bringing off the wound
ed.
Bismarck, July 7.— Custar left
Rosebud on the 22d with twelve
companies of the seventh cavalry.
On the 24th a fresh trail was reported
On the morning of the 25th an Indi
an villiage three miles long and a
half mile wide was reported fifteen
miles distant. Custar pushed for it.
They had made seventy-eight miles
in the twenty-four hours preceeding
the battle. When near the \illage
the Indians appeared to be moving
in hot haste, as if retreating. Reno
with eleven companies was ordered
to attack the right,while Custar with
the other five vigorously at
tacked tiie left of the camp lteno felt
them with three companies. He was
almost immediately surrounded, but
after some hours lighting in which
he lost Lieutenants Hodgson and
Mclntosh, twelve men and several
of his Indian guides killed and many
wounded, he cut his way out and
gained a bluff three hundred feet
high, where he intrenched and was
soon after joined by Col. Benton with
tour companies.
Here the Indians made repeated
assaults, but were repulsed with
great slaughter. The Indians finally
gained higher ground than Reno,and
with longer range guns than the cav
alry, kept up a galling fire till night.
The Indians renewed the attack at
daylight. Reno had lost forty odd
killed. Before reaching the* bluff
many hand to hand conflicts had oc
curred, the Indians out numbering
them ten to one. The men had been
without water thirty-six hours, and
they determined to reach water at
all hazards. Colonel Benton made
a sally and routed thejnain body,
guarding the approach to water. The
water was gained with one killed and
seven wounded. The fighting ceased
for the night, during which Reno
prepared to resist further attacks.
There had pdw been forty-eight
hours’ fighting with no word from
Custar. Twenty-four hours more of
suspense, and nghting ended, when
the Indians abandoned their village
in great haste. Gen. Terry, with
Gibbon commanding his own infant
ry had arrived and as the comrades
met men wept on each other’s necks
Inquiries were made about Custar,
but none could tell where he was.
Soon an officer came rushing into
camp and related that he had found
Custar dead and stripped naked, but
not mutilated, and near him his
two brothers, Cols. Tom and Boston
Custar, bis brother-in-law Col. Cal
houn, and his nephew Col. Yates,
Col. Keogh,Capt. Smith, Lieutenant
Crittenden, Lieutenant Sturgis, Col.
Cooke, Lieutenant Porter, Lieuten
ant Harrington, Dr. Loid, Mack
Kellogg,the Brismarck Tribuen's cor
respondent, and one hundred and
ninety men and scouts. Custar went
into battle with companies L., C., 1.,
F., and F., of me (sth cavalry, and
the staff and jhe non commissioned
staff of his regiment, and a number
of scouts and only one Crow scout
remains to tell the tale. All are dead.
AN INTERVIEW WITH GEN. SHER-
MAN.
Philadelphia, July 7.—Gen.
Sherman in an interview yes
k.fliy in .-_!!■ to a. a
reporter as to reasons of the Indian
campaign said : We are doing this at
the request of the Indian depart
ment. It does not originate with
the war department at ali. You will
see only a map where the Indian
reservation is. Our purpose is to
drive the Indians, who are of the
very wildest and most savage sort,
down on the reservation. Montana
is the most promising of our territo
ries. It is settled by an intelligent
people, among whom are many old.
soldiers, and it is the richest and
most promising of our settlements.
These Indians have been annoying
the settlers, and we are driving them
down on the reservation. You can
say that we will do it now or exter
minate them.
Gen. Sheridan said to the same re
porter, I have sent every man I could
spare into that region, even taking
troops from Laramie and St. Luke.
The government in its wisdom di
rects the doing of certain things in
these regions. It directs an expedi
tion like this of Terry’s as being nec
essary for the development of that
country. We do the best we can
with our material, hut wo are in no
condition to do the work required of
us.
THE VERY LATEST.
Bismarck, July 7. —Custer was
surrounded by Indians on every side
and their horses fell as they fought
on the skirmish line or in line of bat
tle. Custer was among the last who
fell, but when Ills ehcorinpr voice wns
no longer beard the Indians made
short work of the remainder.
The bodies of all save the newspa
per correspondent were stripped, and
most of them were horribly mutilat
ed. Custer was shot through the
head. The troops cared for the
wounded and buried the dead, and
returned ,to their base for supplies
and instructions from the general of
the army.
Col. Smith arrived at -Bismarck last
night with thirty-five of the wound
ed. The Indians lost heavily in the
battle. The Crow scout survived by
hiding in a ravine. He believes the
Indians lost more than the whites.
The village numbered 1,800 lodges
and it is thought that there were
4,000 warriors,
Gen. Custer was directed by Gen
eral Terry to find and feel of the In
dians, but not to fight unless Terry
arrived with reinforcement and with
Gibbon’s column.
The Herald correspondent, Kellogg
was killed.
THE BATTLE FIELD.
Bismarck, July 7. —Gen. Gibbons
cavalry followed the Indians for
about ten miles and ascertained that
they had moved to the south and
west by several trails. A good deal
of plunder had been thrown away by
them to lighten the march and ‘was
scattered for many miles over the
prairie. Many of their dead were
also discovered secreted in ravines
along the distance from the battle
fields. Among them were Arapa
hoes and Cheyennes as well as Sioux.
A party wag sent on Custer’s trail
to look for traces of his comm md.
They found awaiting them a sight fit
to appall the stoutest heart. At a
point about three miles down the
right hank of the stream Custer had
evidently attempted to ford and at
tack the villages, for the ford trail
was found to lead back up to the
bluffs and to the northward as if
troops had been repulsed and com
pelled to retreat, and at the same
time had been cut off from legnining
the forces under Reno. The bluffs
along the right bank came sharply
down to the water, and are inter
spersed by numerous ravines.
All along the slopes and ridges,
and in the ravines lying as they had
fought, fine behind line, showing
where defensive positions had been
successively taken up and held till
none were left to tell the fight. Then
huddled in a narrow compass horses
and men were piled promiscously.
At the Highest point of the ridge
lay Custer surrounded by a chosen
band- Here were his two brothers
and his nephew Air. Reed, Cols.
Yates and Cook and Capt. Smith, all
lying in a circle of a few yards, their
horses beside them. Here behind
Yates’ company the last stand had
been made, and here, one after
another, these last survivors of Cus
ter’s five companies had met their
death. The companies had succes
sively thrown themselves across the
path of the advancing enemy and
had been annihilated. Not a man
had been left to tell the tale, but it
was inscribed on the surface of the
barren hills in language more elo
quent than words.
THE MATTER UP IN THE SENATE.
Washington, July 7.—The bill
introduced by Senator Paddock to
day is as follows:
Be it enacted that the President, if
lie deem it necessary, be and is here
by authorized to accept the services
of volunteers from the .State of Ne
braska and the territories of Wyom
ing, Colorado, Dakota and Utah or
either of thorn to be employed as a
part of thearmy of the United States
against the tribes of hostile Sioux in
the northwest who have for years
defied the authority of the Govern
ment, and by whose hands recently
several hundred soldiers, citizens of
the United States, were slaughtered,
provided that not more than five reg
iments of cavalry or infantry or both
shall be accepted, and the term of
service shall not extend beyond
nine months from the date of enlist
ment.
Mr. Paddock gave notice that he
would endeavor tocall up tiie bill
for to-morrow.
On of motion Mr. Ingalls the Sen
ate to-day adopted a resolution re
questing the President to inform
the Senate whether the Indians made
any hostile demonstration prior to
the invasions or their treaty reserva
tion by the gold hunters; whether
the present military operations are
conducted for the purpose of protect
ing said Indians in the rights under
the treaty of 1808, or of punishing
them for resisting the violation of
that treaty ; and whether the recent
reports of an alleged disaster to our
forces under Gen. Custer in that reg
ion are true.
GOV- TILDEN'S SPEECH.
The Evils Under Which AYe Labor anil
Tlieir Remedy.
On the night of the 29th ult., Gov.
Tilden was serenaded at the execu
tive mansion, Albany, New York,
by about 5,000 people. The follow
ing is the short speech he made to the
people:
I cordially thank you for this mani
festation of your kindness. Ido not
forget that last year you enrolled me
among you as an honorary member.
I regard with satisfaction and pride
your excellent disciplineand training
as a military body. I recognize
among you many representatives of
the workingmen of Albany; and
when I say workingmen I do not
forget that in our country the num
ber who live upon the income of
what they have accumulated or in
herited is extremely small, and that
nearly every citizen of our vast Re
public lives on the produce of his
daily toil. In America we are near
ly all working men, therefore the in
torojil Q-uoX-. 1 dial elne
may also be said to be the interest
and prosperity of all. (App.ause.)
No country that the sun ever shone
upon lias had so many blessings as
our own. Stretching from the At
lantic to tiie Pacific and from the
great lakes of the North to the Gulf
of Mexico, with a genial climate,
with fertile soils, with every natural
and artificial facility for travel and
transportation, with all the arts and
industries of old civilization planted
and flour'shing amid the boundless
natural wealth of a virgin continent,
we ought to be to-day the most pros
perous, the most happy*and content
ed people in the world. But what is
our actual condition? All business
depressed, every industry languish
ing, labor without employment and
the wolf at the door of nearly every
home in the land, gaunt and hungry.
(Applause.) What is the matter?
We know that for the iast eleven
years, since the peace, tiie earn
ings of labor and the income of
capital have been consumed or wast
ed in governmental expenditures.
The taxes drawn from the people of
tiie United States have been larger
than the entire net savings of the
whole 44,000,000. These taxes have
increased within a short period four
fold, and the influence is felt upon
every business and every industry
and in every home throughout out
broad land. What next do we find
in ihe public administration every
where? Abuses, peculations, frauds
and corruption, until we are almost
Becoming ashamed of the institutions
of our country, anil instead of hold
ing them up as examples for the op
pressed people of other countries we
are confessing them as a scandal in
the eyes of mankind. What else do
we find ? We find the office-holding
class have become so numerous, pow
erful and unscrupulous that they as
sume to control the elections; and if
the people are indifferent, or at all
equally divided, are able to exert a
corrupt influence sufficient to per
petuate their own power. At last
we are reaching the worst condition
of the countries of the Old World.
The government no longer exists for
the people; the people exist only for
the government. Our centennial
product is the wrongs, license and
evils to escape which our ancestors
abandoned their homes in the Old
world and planted themselves in a
wilderness. Now, I ask what is the
remedy for these public evils, for this
private distress, for this disorder in
business, which carries suffering into
every household? (A voice in the
crowd—“ The election of Tilden.”
Applause.) It is comprised in one
word,
“reform,”
reform of the public administration.
(Cheers.) Upon this subject there is
a difference of opinion. One class
say elect the nominees of the party
under which these evils have grown
up, by means of me office-holding
cla.-s, which is interesting in perpet
uating these abuses and wrongs.
At opt negatives on whom all the
contending factions could agree with
out danger of harm to any or to the
system by which they fatten on the
sufferings of the people. That is one
opinion. There is another opinion,
and that opinion demands a change,
a change of men for the sake of re
form m administration.
Fellow-citizens, I do not intend to
argue the question. I intend to sim
ply state it and leave it to your judg
ment and to the jugdmont of the peo
ple. lam heartily with vouin sym
pathy and action. lam happy to
meet you to-night. I trust I shall
have an opportunity of seeing you
hereafter. (A voice—“ Next Novem
ber.” Cheers.) Again thanking you
lor your kind attention, I bid you
good evening.

miiE political campaign of 1870, which ln
-1 eludes National, State and County elec
tions, and which undoubtedly will be the most
active and hotly contested of any since the
memorable canvass of U6O, is now fairly
opened. The National Democratic Party will
this year make a bold, Vigorous, and doubtless
successtul struggle for the maintenance and
supremacy ot those principles which are vital
to the prosperity of the public, and essential
to the well-being of the people.
In addition to the Presidential election, the
: people in Georgia and Florida will elect new
state Governments. In Florida the campaign
promises to be unusually vigorous, and there
is a probability that for the first time since the
war, the pooplo of i hut ci.i.l*,,, s-twio
will elect a Democratic State Government. In
these campaigns the people are deeply inter
ested; and every intelligent citizen, who has
the welfare ol liis country and his section at
heart, should acquaint himself with every de
tail of redemption and iefornt that is now going
on. .
To this end lie should subscribe to and a-sist
in circulating the Siivumuili Morning News,
an independent Democratic newspaper, of
pronounced opinions and tearless in their ex
pression; a paper that is recognized every
where as the best daily in the South. Its edi
torial department is vigorous, thoughtful and
consistent, while its news and local depart
ments are marvels of industry and complete
ness. Its department of Georgia and Florida
aff.iirs is not conlined to a mere barren sum
mary of events transpiring in those States, but
is enlivened by comment at once ap , timely
and riiev.
The ample resources of the establishment
will be devoted to furnishing the ri aders of the
MORNING NEWS
with the latest intelligence from all parts of
the world, through the press dispatches, spe
cial dispatches, special correspondence; and
through these agencies, the paper will be the
earliest chronicler of every noteworthy inci
dent of the political campaign of 1876.

THE DAILY AMERICAN.
A ash vIIIe, Ten 11 essee.
riTHE centralization of power in Washington,
X and the control of enrrupe combinations
ot the day in the Government at various points
throughout the country to fleece the people of
their hard earnings, lias justly excited the pub
lic. The unexampled policy of paying billions
of debt in gold, at a period of general stagna
tion in business; the disposition manifested,
if not to convert the government into an abso
lute monarchy, to reduce the free people of
America to absolute serfdom; the con tin .al
cry of the tax gatherer; the building up o .he
few at the expense of the-manr; the" execs ive
inequalities of burdens imposed by the Gov
ernment on its own citizens, all of whom are
entitled to equal privileges; the results of all
these in tiie general prostration of business al
ibi'd just enuse for alarm. Hiey afford al.-o a
just cause for a demand for .'."change in the
National administration ot -Untie alf airs,
it is therefore the du' ! < ■ Democracy,
which in its purity is ’the r>, iv-entatire and
defender of the’people, an l ot the people
themselves who atv te.iUy the D.m i icy, to
correct the growing evils which threaten to
overwhelm ~il in common min. 'I here must
boa change cd the National udminhiratiou
betore there is either safety or real reform.
This is the vitalquestion heiore the people.
The American is on the side ot the poop’d
and of change. It lias its views and expresses
them from day to day, and while doing so
frankly and honestly, it also fairly and as
fully as its space will permit, gives the views
and arguments of the other side. It claims
nothing outside of the interests of the people,
and seeks only to inform them truthfully of
all matters in which they themselves are
mostly concerned. ■*
On the eve of the ( "cntonnial of the Republic
and of a Fresidential campaign of the greatest
moment to the people, it behooves the Con
servative and Democratic masses of this see
tion to supply themselves, in time, with polit
ical news, fact- and general political informa
tion Ironi the nearest central distributing
point. Thu American, isstied from ,the cap
ital "1 i ennessee, and supplying as well, much
ol the territoryo! Keutuckt, Georgia and Ala
bama, is the only Daily Democratic journal
.puhjisluub.'a i Lhi n a r.-b,t.~ -o I.l* rrxt a Tiun
dred and fifty miles iu which there are nearly
if not quite a million of j.copU* it furnishes
to its readers, at heavy cMiense; tiie full vol
ume of telegraphic reports of the Western As
sociated Fress, including the Congressional
proceedings of the most interesting session for
many years, in which the Democrats, for the
lirst time since the war. have a majority in the
Lower Mouse and nearly half the members of
the Senate.
The season is rapidly approaching and near
at hand when will be discussed political issues
affecting the National, and State elections of
1876. The Presidential election-overshadows
all others in its importance at this time, not to
our section alone, but to friends and defenders
of Republican institutions throughout the
l nion. Though times may be hard, the very
occasion of hard times is traceable to sources
with which the peoide ought to he acquainted,
and of which i; is the mission of the Ameri
can to inform them, and we think it is not in
opportune or immodest to ak the attention of
the masses-of the,people in its columns, which
will he always full and reliable. The sugges
tion to Democrats and Conservatives of Tennes
see and States adjacent, to help extend its cir
culation and enlarge its sphere of usefulness,
is the more confidently made in view of the
very grave political and financial questions
which are now agitating the public mind, and
which will enter largely into the approaching
Presidential canvass, and perhaps determine
the character of the Government itself in the
future. The American lias undeviaUnglv
stood forth in defense of the Constitution, o'f
the rights of the States, and of individual lib
erty. Now, when all these are assailed by a
powerful and corrupt centralized administra
tion, it pledges it-elt anew to devote all its
means and energies to political reform and the
restorati <n of the old landmarks and limita
tions of delegated authority and of the stand
ard of oflicial honor.
R\* a law ol Congress which went into effect
on the first of January, 1875, the publishers of
daily newspapers are required at the time of
mailing, to prepay all postage, which relieves
the subscriber ol the payment of postage at
the ollice of delivery. Under this law the post
age will be less than the previous law. Tiie
postage on the Daily will be 60 cents instead of
$1.20, on the Weekly, 15 cents instead of 20
cents: and on the Semi-weekly 20 cents instead
of 40 cents. Our subscription prices will,
therefore, include the postage, and will he as

THE WEEKLY SUN
1816. NEW YORK. 1576.
Eighteen hundred and seventy
six is the Centennial year. It is also the
year in which an Opposition House of Repre
sentatives, the first since the war, will lie in
power at \\ ashington; and the year of a t wen
tv-third election of a President’of the United
States. All of these events are sure to be ol
great interest and importance, especially the
two latter, and all of them and everything
connected with them will he freely aml’freslt
ly reported and expounded in THE SUN.
The Opposition House of Representatives,
taking up the line of inquiry opened years ago
by THE SL N, will sternly and diligently in
vestigate the corruptions and misdeeds of
Grant’s administration; and will, it is: o be
hoped, lay the foundation for anew and better
period in our national history. Of all this
THE SUN will contain complete and accurate
accounts, furnishing its readcss with early
and trustworthy information these absorbing
topics.
The twenty-third Presidential election, with
the preparations for it, will be memo* able as
deciding upon Grant's aspiration- for a third
term ot power and plunder, and still more as
deciding who shall lie the party of Reform,
and as electing that candidate. Concerning
all these subjects, those who read THE SUN
will have tiie constant means of being thor
oughly well informed.
’THE WEEKLY sl'N, which lias attained a
circulation ot over eighty thousand copies, al
ready has its readers in every State and Terri
tory, and we trust that the rear 1576 will see
their numbers doubled. It’will continue to lie
a thorough newspaper. All the general news
ot the day w ill be found in it, condensed when
unimportant, at ful> length when ot moment;
and always, we trust, treated iu a clear, inter
esting and instructive manner.
It is our aim to make THE WEEKLY SUN
the best family newspaper in the world, and
we shall continue to give in its columns a
large amount of miscellaneous reading, such
as storie-. talcs, poems, scientific intelligence
and agricultural information, for which we
are not able to make room in our daily edition.
The agricultural department especially is one
of its prominent features. The fashions are
also regularly reported in its columns, and so
are the markets of every kind.
THE WEEKLY SUN, eight pages, with fifty
six broad columns, is only one St.3o a year,
postage prepaid. As Hus pnee barely repays
the cost of the paper, no discount can be made
from this rate to clubs, agents, postmasters, or
anyone.
THE DAILY SUN, a large four-page news
paper of twenty-eight columns, give- all the
news tor two cents a copy. Subscription, post
age prepaid, 55c. a month. or 86.30 a year.
Sunday edition extra, sl.lO per year. * We
have no traveling agents.
