A victim of Indian vengeance, in the
present si niggle along the borders, gives
the following account of his experince:
I was in. the infantry. Custer had com
mand of the troops. There was quite a force
•of cavalry with us, but these, were about
a mile in the rear when we first discover
ed the reds. Some of the troops had been
sent around so as to attack from the other
side. The r«*is were encamped in a sort of
vailey, and we were within eighty rods of
them for half an hour before day-break..
Just in the gray of morning the firing com
menced on both sides, and we had it all
our own way for a few minutes; but at
length they rallied, and we could hear Black
Kettle shouting and ordering The vermin
got into holes and behind rocks—anywhere
they could find a place—and began to fight
Lack with a will. We fired wherever we
could see a top=knot, and shot squaws—
there were lots of them—just as quick as
Indians. When it was fully daylight, we
all gave a big yell and charged right down
into their camp. • The lodges were all
standing yet and lots of Indians in them.
As we ran through the alleys, a big red
jumped out at me from behind a tent, and
before I could shorten up enough to mn
him through with my bayonet, a squaw
grabbed me around the legs and twisted me
down. The catnp was full of men fighting,
and every bod j seemed yelling-as loud as
he could* When I fell, I went over hacka
ward, dropping niy gnu and I had just
got part, way up again, the squaw yanking
me by the h.tir, when the Indian clubbed
my gun and struck me across, the neck.
The blow stunned me} the sqmvw kept
screeching and pulling my hair out by
handfuls.* I heardVsome of our boys shoot*
mg around close by, and the squaw started
and ran, one of the buys killing her not
three rods off. The Indian stepped one’
foot on my chest, and with his hajid gallic
ert’d up the hair near the ci’oWu ‘of my
head. He wasn’t very tender about it,
but jerked rny head this way and that, like
Satan. My eyes Were partially open, and
I,could see the beadswork and trimming 1
on his loggings. Suddenly I felt the aw
lullest biting, cutting fla.-sh, go around my
head, and then it seemed* to me just as if
my whole head had been jerked clean off.
1 never felt such pain in all niy life; it was
like pulling your brains right out. I didn’t
know any more fuf two or three days, and
w.hen I came to I had the sorest bead of
any human being that ever lived. If the*
boys killed the viper they didn't get back
my scalp; perhaps It got lost in the snow.

BAINBRIDGE, GA., THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1869.
A Fair Cuban Patriot. —One of the most
successful of the fair intriguants who are
now interesting the excitable and youthful
part of our population in Cuban indepen
dence, is a young lady who a few years ago
created quite a sensation here as a belle
i.ndeed, her debut was made at one of our
fashionable watering places, and a Winter
spent subsequently in New Orleans fitted
•her for the ‘game of hearts,' * which she now
so brilliantly, turns to account in behalf of
the ‘Gem of the Antilles.’ A native Cuban
she possessed the highest type of Spanish
beauty. Tall, slender, and graceful*,
Hating, ev«fn brilliant in conversation, she
yet possesses the additional advantage of
being undoubtedly, the most exquisitely and
expensively dressed ladies in the city. One
never sees her in a toilet to which the
slightest objection could be * made. Her
taste in the harmony of colors is faultless,
while her rich braids of glossy hair, ar
ranged to show its luxuriance and beauty,
at the same time discloses, what ladies are
ambitious of displaying, that-it is natural,,
•and not the hahdiwot*k of the halt dresser.
Wher. it is further stated that she is an
heiress, with no prospective or present
matrimonial entanglements, it is not sur»
prising that the influence she exerts is at
once controlling and valuable. Her par
lors are every evening thronged with the
elite of our young men, and one looking
upon the brilliant beauty., animated in con
versation, and the excitement incident, to
such discussions, might well imagine that
he saw before him a Madame Roland, from
the inspiration of whose beauty and genius
another Yerginaud would awse to give a
statesman’s glory-to her native Isle. Nor
can one help feeling’a sympathy for Cuba
in such a presence. If such fair flowers are
native there, no wonder it is called the
lovlu-st land the sun shines on, — N. O.

A Prediction Verbified.— On the night
before Vallandigham then Democratic
candidate for Governor of OhiS, was sent
through the lines of the army of the Cum
berland, by order of General Burnside—it
Was in midsummer of 1863, i»qw six years
ago—he was visited at the quarters as
signed him in Murfreesboro, Teum, by Gen,
Wna. S. Rosencranz, then commanding the
Department. Gen. R., forgetting his dig
nity, as he occasionally did, entered into a
long and, on his part, violent discussion on
political subjects. During the conversa
tion Vallandigham, claiming that, his posi*
tion would be justified by the fut ure policy
and events of the war, remarked to Rosen
cranz that in five years the General would
think as the exile then thought, and stand
where he then stood. It seems that Val
landigham was right as to brets, and very
liearly correct as to time. He may not think
precisely as Vallandigham thought, but as
the candidate, of the Democracy of Ohio for
the Governorship, Rosencranz certainly
stands where Vallandigham stood.— JS. Y.

How Poor Boys -Reach th.o Top Round.—
There are 17,919 names who pay an injcorne

who have come up from the lowest round of

the list, everybody knows is an Irish emi

less than 25ctsj indeed with few exceptions
most of the parties in the list were .scarce

the list, aqd slnw that nearly every one of

Honor and shame from no condition rise,

A Lazy jiau .
The lazy ’man ,says the ‘‘Fat contribu
tor,” is almost always, gciod natured. He
never flies into a passion. He might craw 1
into one, if that wore possible, but the* idea
of his flying into anything is preposterous.*
Who ever heard of a iazy man breaks
ing into a bank, where a crowbar.-had "to
be us'ed, or drilling into a safe? Nobody.
Not that he might not convert his neigh-'
bor’a*goods-contained therein, hut the hors
mr of handling a crowbar and drills would
always deter him from actually committing
burglary. He never runs away with his
neighbot’s wife, simply on account of.the
horror-he has of running. If he is. ever
known to run, it is to run to seed.
He rarely Ties about his neighbor, for it
would We too much exertion; but he can
li.e at a bar-room all day.
He is inestimable service to ,a billiard
saloon, keeping the chair warm and watch
ing the game, for few would care to play
where there are no spectators The fact
that he does this without pay, day in and
day out, shows the unfitness of his nature.
What an industrious man, who considers
tifs time worth something, would want pay
for, the lazy man generally does for noth
ing, growing a- freedom from mercenary
motives that should g.o far to his cred't..
The lazy man never gets up revolutions,
insurrections, or other popular excitement,
and don’t make a nuisance of himself by
tramping around the country making in
cendiary speeches to prompt public djs>
content.
In his own. neighborhood he is never
a busybody in other people’s affairs, for
the very idea of being a busybody at any
thing would drive him out of his head- By
the way, jf he ever got out of his head, you
would have to drive him out, for he wouldn’t
have energy enough to go out of his own
accord.
No lazy man ever run mad, If he went
crazy, it was because lie couldn’t go any
where else without walking.
Lazy men don’t disturb t-hc quiet of
peaceful neighborhoods by putting up fac
tories, furnaces and pther abominations.
Sugar. —lt is said that there are raised
in the world 2,800,000 tons of sugar. Os
this the South raised ojj ly’ 100,000 tons,
while the United States consumes 500,000,
tons or five time‘as much as it makes. It
also increases its consumption yearly-*6O
OGO tons.
Cuba produces about one-third«of the su
gai; made, or 900.000 tons? Her supply is
now cut off, and her produce’stopped.
• Unless the United States raises to a heav
ier extent, sugar must go up, and also sy*
rup.
Hence, the necessity of turning attention
to this matter;
Sorghum can be raised everywhere in the
South, Its comparative strength* as shown
by actual analysts, in contrast with West
India and Louisiana sugar is 86 per cent
to cents.
This is certainly encouraging, and should
stimulate our people to sorghum eultivas

Nf.gßo Gratitude and Friendship. —The
following story, related by a Virginia pa
per. should cover a thousand of poor Sam
bo’s short comingsj
In Richmond is a negro whoj eighteen
years ago, bought his freedom of his mas
ter, and working* hard, early and late, soon
was able to buy his wife. He has been
prospering since, and he now owns the (in
es.l livery stable and hack stand in the
State, and is said to be worth sso,oo(f‘.
His old master, when Lee evacuated Rich
mondj in April, 18G5, was worth a half a
million dollars. Thousands upon thousands
were destroyed by fire; money went this
way.and that, and not long after he came
hack to Richmond broken in spirit, ruined
in property, and tired of his troublesome Iffc*.
His old slave found him, took him to his
house; gave him the best medical skill vliat
money could buy and every luxury. Pres.*
ently the old man died, peacefully and
happv. His -funeral was ft large and ex
pensive one; and lie was borne to a lot in
the cemetery paid for by his old slave,
who also paid for the funeral outlay.
Over him was raised a handsome monus
ment, paid for with file negro’s money. The
widow of the deceased slave owner lives
in a house presented by the negro, win* al
so supplies her with every comfort.

Hard on the Minuter:— A minister was
traveling in the back woods, and, espying
a cabin, entered on a mission of mercy.
Ihe lady of the house (she being present,
aloiie and rightly judging his errand) when
she saw him approaching, seized the Bible,
and as he entered was to all intents busily
engaged in perusing the volume. He no
ticed, however, that she held the letters
reversed, or in other words up side down.
After the usual courtesies the miuister
inquired what she was reading*
• ‘Oli. 'bout the old prophets,’ was the evi
dently satisfactory reply.
•It is very edifying to read the sufferings
of Christ,’ said the minister.
‘And so that good man is dead is he?’
asked the matron, evidently getting in
terested.
•Certainly he is.’
‘Well, that is just the way. I've been at
John a long time to get him to take the
newspaper, but he won’t. Everybody in
the worltf might die and we not hear- a
word about it,’ said the woman in a rapid
tone.
• ‘Ah, woman, yon are in the dark,’ said
the preacher with an elongated face.
‘Yes, I know we are.' I’ve been at John
a long time to put a window in at the fur
end ot the house, but he won’t do that
either.
‘I perceive that you are weak in knowl
edge*’
‘I know that I am weak, and I gtiess if
you had had the billions fever, and been
taking sasifrax and contract pills as long
as l have, you’d be weak too,’ replied the
woman in r*»hor anttmgry tone of voice,
and half an octave usual.

A Slight Mistake.— There is a magis
trate in a sown in Indiana named Helser*
A clergyman in the same place was called
upon by a young couple not long since,
who wished him to join Uiena in the holy
bonds of matrimony. He asked the bride
gooom (a soldier, by the way,) for his
marriage license. The man in blue re
sponded that he had been engaged to the
girl four years, and thought that would do.
Clergyman thought not, and remarked as
the speediest way to obtain a license: ‘You
had better take your girl and go to Helser!’
‘You go to h—II yourself !’ retorted the
angry soldier. Seizing the bride by the
arm, he dragged her from the house won
dering what manner of a profane minister
he had met with.
Cure for Hog Cholera. —A writer iii the
Monthly report of the Department of Agri
culture gives the following report for the
cure of hog cholera:—‘Sulphur, 1 pound;
copperas, 2 pounds; madder, 2 pounds;
black antimony; | pound; saltpetre,! pound;
arsenic, J pound. This quantity is intend
ed for one hundred hogs, in doses of one
pint, night and mornings mixed in bran of
slop of some kind that the hogs will likely
to eat. It is well also to change hogs upon
clean ground. A good preventive is to
keep the pens clean of manure and all other
tilth; and have them as dry as possible.'
What tiie Southern States Would Have
Cincinnati Enquirer says: For*
ney who was at the “hub* Jubilee, “was so
taken with the magnitude of the enterprise,
that he unconsciously asked himself,'What
would the Southern States of this Union be
to-sdav, if with a\l the influence of soil and
climate, they had been guided by men full
of the energy and conscience of .the New
England Puritans? They would have held
the negros in slavery until they found it a
losing institution; when they would have
sold their slaves to some neighboring peo
ple—then have betaken themselves to un
wonted expression of indignation-against j
the crimes of human servitude, and against
those who participated in it, and then they
would have made war upon those to whom
they had sold themselves, and compelled
the purchaser to lilberate them. And fiiraU
ly, j*ould have put recent slaves over the
recent masters, as political superiors. That
is what the Southern Slates would have
done had they been guided by men of en
eigy and science of the New England Pu
ritans.”
Crops. —We regret to learn from sorpo of
our best planters on the Oowijsee, that the
crops are suffering very much for want of
rain.. A large planter,informed us, yesterday
that on one of his plantations no rain had
fallen in four weeks; on another some miles
apart, over three weeks bad elapsed since a
crep had fallen. This will aci disastrously
on the corn crop’and will not benefit cot
