At the recent Democratic Moan Meet
ing in MoDnfße county a resolution was
nimtiimously passed requeuing ttie Mc-
Dupfie Jociwxt nrrii the two Augusta
dailies to publish the proceedings. The
Chronicle A Sentinel did so promptly,
hut the OonetUuHonalut has treated the
request withs silence, whioh, unex
plained, amounts to contempt.
Wliat is the matter with our friend,
Col. Randall? Has he, like Judge Gib
son, “disowned” our county for daring
to elect Johnson delegates to the Guber
natorial Convention ?
•THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES.
The standard-bearers of the Democ
racy have been selected and are now lie
fore the people. Gov, Tilden was not
onr first olioiec—not by a jtigfnl ; but
the almost nnaniinonß support which he
received in the St. Louis Convention
convinces us lbat both for capacity aud
mvaitablUfj/ ho is regarded by a very
large majority of the party as far prefer
able to any of tbe other aspirants. Tbe
ticket reverted, would suit m much bet
ter, but we bow to the decision of the
Convention ami place the name* of Til
den and Hendricks at our mast-head,
with the determination to add onr mite
to the tidal wave of political revolution,
which is destined to sweep the corrupt
Radical party from power in November
next.
Why cannot Georgia give a hundred
thousand majority for the ticket?
THE ST. I.OVIA CONVENTION.
Probably no national convention of
any party, in the history of the Repub
lic, has excited so much interest as the
Democmtio convention which recently
assembled in St.. Louis, for the purpose
of nominating candidates for President
anl Vioo President of the United States,
and framing % platform embodying the
political tenet* of that party. The eyes
of the civibMd world were directed to
wards that assembly, and the hopes aud
fears of millions of patriots, frieuds of
aspirants, politicians, office-holders, ring
masters, thieves and rascals centered
apou the rosnlt of their deliberations.
The Republican convention had, a few
weeks before, at Cincinnati, agreed upon
aud offered to the public a ticket which
all parties agreed was about the strong
est to be had in their ranks, and grave
apprehensions were entertained as to
whether or not the Democratic conven
tion, divided as it was upon the fiuaucial
question, wild agree upon a platform
aad candidates which would reconcile all
political differences, consolidate aud
unite the anti-administration elements,
and carry the election.
A long and bitter contest between the
followers of the- different aspirants for
the nomination was anticipated, but,
oontrary to all expectations, the wonder
ful strength developed by Gov. Tilden
in the very beginning of the convention,
and which grew to unanimity on the
second ballot, was amply sufficient to
sweep down all opposition.
The Convention assembled in the ball
•{the Mefchauts Exchange, in St. Lon
ia, Tnwaday, June 26, and was called to
•nlcr at 12 o’clock, m., by Augustus
gehwU. Chairman of the National Dem
ocratic Executive Committee, who de
livered a brief address, urging conserva
tism, harmony, Ac., and concluded by
announcing Henry Watersou, of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, aB tempora
ry Chairman. Mr. Watersou also made
a speech which elicited considerable
applause, aud then introduced Bishop
Marviu,*of the M. E, Church, South,
who offered au eloquent prayer.
The Chair then announced for socrcta
riec F. O. Prince, of Massachusetts ; F.
O. Walker, of lowa, aud S. K. Donovan,
of Ohio; also Daniel Able, of Missouri,
Sergeant at Arms. A Committee on
credentials was appointed, consisting of
one and. legate from each State, Mr. C. P.
Howell representing Georgia. While
this committee was iu consultation a
delegation of females, representing the
Woman's Rights party, was granted a
hearing l*y tbe convention. Miss Phoeby
Couzens, of St. Louis, presented an ad
dress with resolutions, and also made a
speech.
The committee on credentials reported
! every State aud Territory represented
| and no contested seats. Delegates from
i the Territories, including the District of
Columbia, were admitted to seats with
i out the right to vote. Gen. John A.
! McClernund, of Illinois, was made Per
; manent President, with a Vice President
j from each State, and the temporary Soc
i iclaries continued us permanent. Then
I the Convention proceeded regularly to
| businesss.
1 The platform adopted we give on our
first page. It was adopted liy a very
large majority, and may, therefore, be
regarded as the political text-book of the
Democratic party for the present cam
paign.
The nanes of the following gentlemen
were submitte* to the convention for
nomination for President : Tilden, of
New York ; Allen, of Ohio ; Bayard, of
Delaware ; Parker, of New Jersey ; Han
cock, of Pensylvauia, and Hendricks, of
ludiaua.
The first ballot stood, —Ti'den, 40!) j j
Hendricks, 103 j ; Hancock, 77; Parker,
18; Bayard, 31 ; Allen, 56. Iu this bal
lot Georgia vdted, Tilden, 5; Hancock,
1; Bayard 16.
Second ballot—Allen 54 ; Tilden 467;
Parker 18; Hancock 71 ; Hendricks 108;
Thurman 2. lowa changed 20 for Til
den ; Illinois changed 24 for Tilden and
18 for Hendricks ; Missouri changed 20
Tilden and 10 for Hendricks.
These changes gave Tilden 531 votes,
over two-thirds, and he was declurod the
nominee for President.
Jn the second ballot Georgia voted,
Tilden, 15 ; Bayard 7.
At the close of the second ballot,
without waiting for the announcement
from the chair, the Convention arose and
gave long tumultnous cheers for ten
minutes. Tin excitement and noise
almost drowned the music by the band.
Various other Htates announced changes
amid the great confnsioti, including
Delaware, who went solid for Tilden.
Pennsylvania moved to make it unani
mous.
Indiana seconded the motion of Penn
sylvania to make the nomination armui
uroiis. Adopted.
For Vice President, Gov. Thomas A.
Hendricks, of Indiana, was unanimously
nominated amid great enthusiasm.
In this convention Georgia, the Em
pire Btute of the Houtli, received, as she
deserved, a fair consideration, in view of
the patriotism and geuomb intelligence
of her people, and the heavy Democratic
majorities whioh she invariably polls.

WAR 08 RACER.
A PITCHED BATTLE IN HAMBURG
[Chroniole Sunday 11th. J
The rudders of the Clponicle k Seftti
nel doubtless perused in its columns yes
terday the following item :
"Ou the Fourth, while two young
men were lidiug through Hamburg on
their way home, they were detained on
the streets by the colored military com
pany which was parading. Whou they
desired to pass some of the soldiers
threatened to keep them all night. Yes
terday tin y applied to Priuoo Rivera to
have the matter investigated, us to
whether the military had the right to
obstruct tbs. highway. During the ex
amination o's the first wituess, the Cap
tain, Doc Adams, became so iusoleut as
to compel the Trial Justice to arrest him
for oonterupt of Court, and continue the
case until 4 o’clock this afternoon."
The two young men referred to were
Mt ssi 8. Thomas Butler aud Henry Gett
seu. Mr. Robert Butler, father of Thom
as Butler, employed General M. C. But
ler to nroßooute Adams. General Butler
reached Hamburg yesterday afternoon
and proceeded to the office of Prince
Rivers, Trial Justice, where the trial of
Doc Adams was to take place. The Gen
eral asked Rivers whether lie intended to
try Adams in his military capacity as
Major-General or in his civil capacity as
Trial Justice. Rivers replied that he
could not tell until he had examined in
to the case. At four o’clock, the hour
designated for the trial, Doc. Adams
failed to put in an appearance. After
waiting some time, Geu. Butler told
Rivera that he must proceed. The Con
stable then went to the door aud called
Adams, who, however, failed to answer.
It was then ascertained that. Adams, with
his company, was up the street iu a defi
ant attitude*. Gen. Butler thereupon in
formed Rivers that this sort of thing had
gone on long euongh, aud it was about
time that it was put a stop to. The ne
groes must give up their arms at once,
aud he would give the uames of twenty
of the best citizens in Edgefield as secu
rity that they would he turned over to
Gov. Chamberlain. Rivera then asked
if Geu. Butler, in case the arms were
given up, would see that the town was
protected during the uight. The Gener
al answered in the affirmative. Rivera
assured him that he could go immediate
ly to Adams aud persuade him to give up
the arms. He accordingly went to that
worthy and talked wi h him for some
time. Upon his return he told Gen.
Butler that the Mayor, Gardner, and the
officers of the eompauy would confer
with him at the Council Chamber. Geu.
Butler accordingly went thither and Had
a conform ee with the negro leaders.
He told them that the arms must lie giv
en up, there was no necessity for them
iu that place and they had no business
with them. As for the Adams ease, Mr.
Butler, would be satisfied if Adams
would make
AN APOLOGY.
This conference accomplished nothing.
The negroes stili hesitated about giving
up the arms. In the meantime, however,
; a number of white citizens of'South
| Carolina had assembled in the .town aud
matters began to look sqnaily. General
Butler rude over to Augusts and told
several young men that he might need
their services iu Hamburg during tbe af
ternoon. He then retnrned to the town.
Jnat after crossing the bridge lie was met
by Prince Rivera who said he would
make one more effort to induce the ne
groes to give tip their gnns, and if they
would not yield they must take the con
sequence. Accordingly he conferred
with the officers of the eompauy, aud
shortly returned to General Butler with
.the announcement that the negroes -aid
1 they would not give np their guns ; they
intended to fight. Li the mean time tbe
news of the trouble had spread in Au
gusta and mused much excitement. A
large number of young men hastily pro
cured arms and ammunition and hasten
ed to the scene. Many others waited at
the foot of the bridge tiDxionsly awaiting
the result. By 7 o'clock there was a
large c. owd at that point.
Upon learning tbe result of Rivers’
efforts, General Butler determined to ac
complish by force that wbicb could not
be doue by peaceable demands. The ne
groes bad entrenched themselves in a
large brick structure, known as Sibley’s
Imiidiu?, on a corner and defied the
whites. Tbe latter surrounded the house
and at half-past seven o'clock opened fire
upon it. This was retnrned by the ne
groes and a constant fusilade was kept
up for over two hours. Abont 8 o’clock
a young man named T. Mi ckey Merri
wethi r, who was standing near the front
of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad bridge, was struck in the head
by u .Minnie ball fired from one of the
windows ol tbe Bibley building, and
ALMOST INSTANTLY KILLED.
His body was placed on a litter and
brought to the city by a number of
young men. Mr, Joseph Merriwether,
father of the unfortunate young man,
abo accompanied the body to the city.
The deemoed was in the twenty-third
year of bis age. His father lives in
Edgefield county, about fifteen . miles
from Augusta, Boon after the death of
Merriwether several men were sent over
to Augusta for a piece of artillery. This
was procured and carried to Hamburg as
soon us possible. The piece was sta
tioned ou 'he river bank, a short distance
from the house where the negroes had
taken np their position and a lire opened
with canister. Four rounds were fired.
Little damage was done the building but
the fire had the effect of completely si
lencing the nogroeH, During the even
ing eight negroes were captured, two of
them meiuliera of the company. A re
porter of the Chronicle & Sentinel con
versed with one ol them, a negro named
Gilbert Muller, who works in Augusta.
He said that lie knew uotliiug about the
origin of the difflulty. AU he knew was
that when lie got home from hia work
that afternoon, his Captain ordered him
to get his gun and “fall in" with the
company. He obeyed orders and was
with the company iu the house while the
firing was taking place. He declared,
however, that he did not fire a single
shot. Kadi member of the company
Imd two rounds of ammunition. They
hud all gone into the cellar of the build
ing when the caunon commenced firing
and lie supposed tliey were there now.
For his part he considered it best to give
himself np and lie therefore did so.
Alsnit half-past eight or nine o'elook a
party of five escaped from the building
and ran across an open field. They were
fired up* n by the white men and two of
them returned the fire, hyt without ef
fect. About ten o’clock a negro jumped
over the fence in rear of the house aud
attempted to escape, but he was instant
ly final upon and fell dead
MIDDLED BY BULLETS.
It wns then ascertained that he was
Jim Cook, the marshal of the town, who
had Ih-ou oue of the chief promoters of
the difficulty. His head was almost shot
to pieces.
Boon after this another negro, named
John Thomas, first lieutenant of the
company, was caught while attempting
to escape. After he was arrested he was
shot in the hack by some unknown par
tv and seriously, perhaps mortally woun
ded. This notion wns condemned in the
severest terms by everyone and especial
ly hy General Butler.
At eleven o’clock a general search was
made for the other members of the com
pany, but none could be found. With
tl»e exception of ono or two old women,
who stood abont trembling with terror,
the town was apparently deserted by the
negroes. When the Chronicle & Senti
nel reporter left the scene, soon after
eleven o’clock, the trouble was evidently
over. The force of white men iu Ham
burg during the evening, numbering sev
eral hundred, a portion of whom were
from South Carolina and a portion from
Augusta. They were armed with sevol
vera, shot guns aud rifles and were under
the leadership of General Butler.
At eight o'olock a force of
Arrived with polioe gun's, was marohed
to the South Carolina end of the city
bridge and drawn np in line across the
structure in order to protect tbe latter,
as it was understood that threats in re
gard to it had been mode by the negroes.
There was no demonstration in that di
rection however.
Duriug the evening, while the firing
was going ou in Hamburg, intense ex
citement prevailed in Augusteand every
body was anxious to learn the latest news
from the front. It was a matter of no
little danger to attempt to get near the
scene while the battle was progressing,
ns the balls were flying in every direc
tion. Their shrill whistle could even be
heard on this side of the river, and it is
said that, several of the balls fell in
Washington street.
Just after the firing begau kerosine oil
was poured on a small wooden structure
next to the Sibley building and the torch
applied to it. Information of the f&et
was conveyed to General Butler, win#
immediately rode to tbe spot aud ordered
the fire extinguished, peremptorily for
bidding any suoh attempt in the future.
When the negroes first fired from the
wiudows of the Siblev building, they
set np a loud yell The fire and the
yell were both answered at once by the
whites. A number of the latter were
stationed on the river bank and kept up
a rapid fire on the building.
A gentleman who was on eye witness
of the affair from beginning to end, snys
that he happened to be Icfokiugat Merri
wether when he was killed. Two shots
were fired almost simultaneously from
oneof the wiudows, and it was probably
oue of these whioh struck the nufortn
nate young man as he instantly fell. He
died in five minutes after be wa- shot.
LATEST.
About 12 o'clock general search was
made throughout Hie town aud resulted
in the fiuding of fifteen more negroes,
making twauty-nine in all. A negro who
attempted to escape, was shot in several
places and badly wounded) The negro
lieatennot,-John Thomas, whtvaavstaied
above, was shot in the back, war expect
ed to die from the wound.
A vonug mail named Moi gan was ac
cidentally shot in the leg hy one erf his
comrades while punning a fleeing negro.
He was firing at tbe negro, together with
others, at the time. His wound, while
painful, is not considered dangerous.
The negroes who were last captured
were discovered hid away in cellars and
under floors. - , 1
The prisoners were kept under "guard
last night, and wtfl be turned over to the
civil authorities of ftokth Carolina to
day. ,
It is said that the. ammunition in the
possession of the negroes was fnmished
to them by a white man named Bciiiller
who came over to Augusta and purchased
it yesterday morning.
At one o’clock the Augusta boys re
tnrned home and left the Sonth Caroli
nians in possession of the town.
It was rumored during the eveniug,
that the negroes bad telegraphed to
Charleston for Federal troops bnt the
rumor could not be traced to any authen
tic sonree.
None of the arms held by the negroes,
were captured but a quantity of ammu
nition was found in one of the houses.
Since writing the above, we learn that
seven of the prisoners were taken out and
killed. At abootjtwo o’clock, or a little
before, the roll was called of the priso
ners and those who were and nsidered ring
leaders of the disturbing element in the
county, were carried to a corn field near
the river aud tureen loose. As they ran
th- y were and killed. One of
the men shot was named Attaway, a
County Cotniniadouer and a member of
the Legislatures Tbe prisoners died al
most without a groan. The remainder
were then turned loose. We learn that
before the shooting took place a detail of
twenty-five men was .made and ordered
to take the prisoners to Aiken to jail.
On the way it was determined to kill tne
ringleaders and the shooting was done
as described. Some gentlemen from
Augusta interfered and saved the lives of
three by persuading the guards to let
them bring tbe negroes to this city.
They were taken to tbe City Hall aud
discharged. The man who was shot af
ter being captured—John Thomas—was
also brought to tbe City Hall. He can
n t possibly reoaver. The list now foots
up ten negroes killed ; one white man
killed, another severely wounded. The
wonu Jed man is in the hospital. As the
remainder of the prisoners were turned
loose they Were fired into hut it is not
known whether any of them were killed
or not. i -tr
THE INDIAN WAR.
CUSTER’S RIDE INTO THE JAWS
OF DEATH.
Bismarck, July 7. —Ouster left Rose
bank on the 22<1, with 12 companies of
the 7th cavalry. On the 24th a fresh
trail wns started. On the morning of
the 25th Indian villages three miles long
and one-half wide were reported 15 miles
off. Cnster pushed for it. They had
made 78 miles in the 24 hours proceeding
the battle. When near the village the
Indians appeared moving in hot haste ns
if retreating. Reno, with seven compa
nies were detatched to attack tbe right.
Cnster, with five companies vigorously
attacked the feft of the camp. Reno
felt them with three companies and were
immediately* jgirrouuded, and after an
hour's fightiijjjr, losing Lieuteunuts
Hodgson - ‘ T Intosh, twelve men and
several Inifc ktllud and many wound
ed, ent—hi.i 2 >y Ant and gained a bluff
three tmndp feet high, where he in
trenched, ami was soon joined by Col.
Benton with four companies. Here the
Indiana made repeated assaults, but were
repulsed with great slaughter. The In
diana finally gained higher ground than
Reno, and with longer range rifles than
the eavaley had, kept np a galling fire
till uight. The Indians renewed the
oonfliot at daybreak. Reno had lost 40
odd killed before reaching the blnff,
many in hand conflicts, the Indians out
unmDering them 10 to 1. The men were
without water 36 hours. Tliey determ
ined to reach water at all Hazards, and
Col. Benton made a sallie and rented
the main body guarding tbe approach to
water, which was gained with one killed
and seven wounded. The fighting censed
for the night, during which Beuo pro
posed to resist further attacks. They
had now been 48 horns fighting, with no
Word from Custer. Twenty-four hours
more of aiianjhse and fighting ended,
when theftbicufns abandoned their village
iu great haste. Gen. Terry, with GiDbon
commanding his own Infantry, had ar
rived, and as the comrades met men
wept on each others necks. Inquiries
were then made for Custer, bnt non'
oould tell wheii lie was. Soon an officer
came riding into camp and related that
he had found Custer dead, stripped
naked but not mutilated, and near him
his two brothers, Col. Bam, and Boston
Custer, hitbrotter-in-law, Col. Calhoun,
and his nephew, Col. Yates, Col. Keagh,
Capt. Smith, Lieut. Crittenden, Lieut.
Bturgis, CoL Cooke, Lieut. Porter,
Lieut. Harrington, Dr. Lord, Mac. Kel
logg, the Bismarck Tribunc't correspon
dent, and one hundred and ninety men
and soouta. Custer went mto the battle
with companies C, L, I, T and E of the
7th Cavalry and the staff and non-com
missioned staff of his regiment, and a
number of scouts, and only one Crow
sou at remained to tell the tale. All are
dead. v
There ts fft Nw> official report-of the
battle. Geu. 'Barry gives a detailed ac
count ol event* before the fight and
operations after the 28th of June, maiuly
confined to bringing ofi the wounded.
Balt Lale, July 7.—Several parties
have made an offer to the Secretary of
War to raise a regiment of volunteers in
ten days for the Indian war.
Bismabck, July 7.—Custer was sur
rounded by the Indians and horses, and
fell as they fonght on the skirmish line
or in line of battle. Cnster was among
the last who fell, but when his cheering
voice was no longer heard, the Indians
made easy woYk of the remainder. The
bodies of all, save the newspaper corres
pondents, were stripped, and most of
them horribly mutilated. Cnster was
shot through the body and 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 lust night,
With of tlie ’wounded. The
Indians lost heavily in the battle. The
Crow scout survived by hiding iu a
ravine. He believes the Indians lost
more than the whites. Tbe .village num
bered one thousand eight hundred lodges,
and it is thought there were four thous
and warriors. Gen. Cnster was directed
by Gen. Terry to flud and feel of the
Italians, but not to fight unless Terry
arrived with infantry and with Gibbous’
column. The Herald correspondent,
Kellogg, was kHled.
Philadelphia, Jnly 7.— Geu. Sher
man, in an interview yesterday, in answer
to a question by a reporter as to the rea
sons of the Indian campaign said, “We
are doing this at the special request of’
the Indian Department. It does not
originate wish the War Department at
all. Yon wiH see on my map where the
Indian reservation in. Our pnrpose i*
to drive these Indians who are of the
very wildest and most savage sort down
on the reservation, Montana is the mo«t
promising of our territories. It is settled
by an intelligent people, among whom
me many old soldiers, and it is the rich
est and most promising of onr settle
ments. These Indians have been annoy
ing the settlers and we are to drive them
down on the reser at ion. You can say
that we will do it now or exterminate
them.
Geu. Sheridan said to the same report
er: "I have sent every man I could
spare into that region, even taking troops
from Laramie and Salt Lake. The Gov
ernment, in its wisdom, directs the doing
of certain th'ngs in the e regions.. It
directs an expedition like this of Terry's,
an expedition necessary for the develop
ment of that country. We do the best
we can with our material, but we are in
no condition to do the work required
of us.” „
Bismarck, July 7. —Gen. Gibbon’s
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 property had been
thrown away by them to lighten their
march and was found scattered for many
miles over the prairie. Mauy of their
dead were also discovered secreted in
ravines a long distance from the battle
field. Among them were Arapahoes and
Cheyennes as well as Sioux.
The follow.ng is au extract from so
account of the massacre :
A party was sent on Custer’s trail to
look for traces of hia command. They
found awaiting them a sight fit to appall
the stoutest heart. At a point shout
three miles down the right bank of the
stream, Custer had evidently attempted
to ford and attack the villages from the
ford. The trail was found to lead back
up to the bluffs and to the northward,
as if the troops had been repulsed and
compelled to retreat, and at the same
time had been cut off from regaining the
forces under Reno. The bluffs along
the right bank came sharply down to the
water, and am interspersed by uumerons
ravines. All along the steeps, and ridges,
and in the ravines lying as they uad
fought, liDe behind line, showing where
defensive positions had been successively
taken up and held till none were left to
fight, then huddled in a narrow c .mpass,
horses and men were piled promiscuous
ly. At the highest point of the ridge lay
Custer, surrounded by a chosen band.
Here were his two brothers and his
nephew, Mr. Reed, Colonels Yates aud
Cook, and Capt. Smith, all lying in a
circle of a few yards, their horses beside
them. Here liehind Yates' Company the
lost 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 successively thrown
themselves across the pnth of the advanc
ing enemy aud had been annihilated,
Not a man has escaped to tell the tale,
but it was inscribed on the surface of the
barren hills iu language more eloquent
than words.
