Chictesnc, October SB.—General Adams,
peace eotntmaionrr, arrived in White Riv
er camp from the Uneompangre agency
daring the nig! t of the 24th, coming by
the war of the hostile campon Grand riv
er, which In* left on the ZSd. He report*
that on the 22d lie met two Indian runner*
from the tight on (lie divide, between the
White and the Grand, in which Lieutenant
Wier and Scout ilumroe were killed. The
Indian verson of the fight is that a parry of
ten Indiana had been stationed in the
mountain* to wa«ch the movement* of the
troops on the White and that on the 20th,
about noon, a party of white men ap-
short of a verbatim report could give an
idea of the teiJing points and trenchant
thrusts made by Kalloch in bis speech,
during which he was frequently enthu-ias
tically applauded. lie said be had been
hud low at the beginning of the campaign.
**but,'* he emphatically exclaimed, “I ex
ited to live to finish the discuaskm.*' Con
tinuing, be amid it was reserved for him to
expose the bead and front of the organ and
tool of the cormorant of municipal corrup
tion, bribery and official greed, so long the
disgrace of San Francisco. It was for this
he was assaulted and his life attempted.
The pretext that the awaswin was moved to
his cowardly deed by words that nad been
spoken and published a thousand times be
fore, will commend itself to no unbiased
mind. It was, at worst, only carrying the
poisoned chalice to lips that had been daily
administering demoniacal doses to slan
dered men. suffering wives, and heart
broken motheis for y<
from their places of concealment they al
lowed it to pas-, believing it to be merely a
bunting party from the soldiers* camp;
that two of the pary of white men fell
behind and pursued some deer
at which one of them shot, and
that thereupon one of the Indians
stepped out to see if the shot had taken
effect, whereupon one of the white men,
probably Huron*!, shot and killed biro;
that several of the Indians having been dis
covered by the man who had shot one of
them, ha continued to tire upon them
whereupon, as a last resort, they raised the!
war whoop, when the net of Che party of
Indians rushed down from the mountain*
and attacked the party of six white men in
a ravine where one Indian was killed; that
the |•arty in the vicinity of the two men
pursuing the deer killed both of them, and
then went to the anlilina of the others.
Weir and Ilumroe were both shot in the
head, the first nine and the Jailor three
lime*, but they were not scalped. Weir’s
body was sent to the railroad Saturday, and
Hu mine* was buried last Friday in the
mountains where he fell, it having been
|iointedoiit by the Indiana
The Indians belonging to the White river
agency say that Agent Meeker was a had
man; that he lied about them and would
mil issue supplies to them unless they would
work, and that, when they refused to work,
lie threatened to hind them with handcuffs
and chains and hang them. They say that
he told them that Thornburgh liad chains
with him, and that upon his arrival he
would help to hind and bang them. This
probably accounts for tiieir binding Meek
er’s body, as, at the agency, where the body
lay, when I saw it, a chain was found around
bui neck.
They sav that they interviewed Thorn
burgh at Bear river and on Williams's Fork
before the tight on Milk river, when he ap
peared haughty and would not afford them
any explanation or satisfaction, saying that
he was a big * arri< r, too, and would go to
the age:icy with his whole command and
not a few men only, as they asked him to
do, and that he was their best friend when
fighting then.; that they were hi* best
friends when fighting him. although they
might kill him. and that, while so talking,
he held a loaded carbine ready in his hands
and seemed to want to light; that thereupon
tliey determined to resist his march
through the canyon, and stationed them-
salve* on Milk river at the mouth of«h«
canyon to await Ins arrival and show their
determination.
Colonel Thornburgh persisted in pursuing
hia march toward the agency, ami the fight
ensued Septemlier 29on Milk river. Colonel
Thornburgh being one of the first to fall,
the Indian* losing twenty men in the first
day’s light, and thirty-four in ul*. during the
Irregular fight of six days with Thornburgh's
command, two of the tliirty-four being
killed lu the skirmish with Merritt's men
timidity morning, October 5 upon the ar
rival of the relief column. On the dav of
toe flglu a runner arrived from the scene of
act bin at the Indian camp on White river,
about five miles above the agency, and re
ported that ten Hies had been killed. The
villages Wing thrown into consternation by
the tidings of the death of mi many of
their people whose names and deeds
were recounted, hasty preparations were
made for the removal of the families to a
place of safety, a* it was supposed that the
Indians at the front were defeated, and
would retreat. Shortly after another mea
se tger arrived saying that the onward march
of the troops was arr. »tc I, hut bringing tin*
news that live more of their comrades had
fallen in the fight. Then aimless conster
nation became Cool domination, and, war
being inaugurated, the war whoop was raised,
and words' of j trace were supplanted by
word* of revenge, and i lie cry of ’’Onward
to the agency.”
A war party at once, under the spirit of
excitement and revenge. pn*ceeded to the
agency, meeting and killing on the way
Eskridge, who bore dispatches from Meeker
to Thorn burg, and arriving at the agency at
about 4 i*.m September 29, the day of the
fight. Upon their arrival at the agency,
Mr. N. C. Meeker, the agent, who was pass
ing from his quarter* to the store-house, wa*
killed, being ilie first to fall. The agency
•mployeatook refuge in the agency builu-
lnga, and «>|»encd fire, killing one Indian,
whereupon the building* were tired, and the
employes, in escaping from the burn
ing pile, were killed, with the exception of
Frank Dresser, who. after killing an Indian,
escaiwd. The women and children—Mrs
Meeker, Mis* Meeker and Mrs. Frice, with
her two children—were taken into custody
by three diHereof warriors---Savencb, John
son and another Indian whose name I have
not learned. The Indians then tied to the
Grand river, taking with them their horses,
cattle and gi»ds, and also their prisoners,
shorn they have treated with consideration
and have in no wi.-e harmed.
General Adam*, upon reaching the hostile
camp, ascertained full particulars, the In
diana throughout corroborating each other's
statements, and by their conduct seeming
well disposed and willing to deliver up any
of tbeir number who, upon a fair investi-
S ition, may appear to be guilty of wrong
link due regard being had for all sur
rounding circumstance*. At the reouesl of
General Adams the women and children
were delivered up and sent to Ouray, who
lives in comfort, and will provide for them
in a hospitable manner.

Col., October 28.—We have just arrived from
the Indian camp on Flatieau creek. The
women and children are safe at Chief
Ouray's house We left on the morning of
the 22d. The Indians seemed unwilling to
have us leave until they had teamed what
succeaa General Adams would have in stop
ping the further advance of General Mer
rill's command. Mr. 'locker's patter*
were burned, and what money Mr-
Meeker trad was taken froiu her
by Douglas*. His intentions were to kill
the women and children, as the windows of
the room in which they first took refuge
were riddled witli bullets the instant they
left lor a more secure place in the milk
room. Mrs. Meeker thinks Susan, the
squaw wife of Chief Johnson, a sister of
Ouray, did more tlian ail the others to save
their*live*. Shewn*a* kind to them as a
mother, and their parting was very touch

and Waupettes. Mm. Meeker was shot
at while running from :he house to hide in

flesh wouud in her thigh. The arrange-

us will see the theory upon which the Clem
ent attachment works.
L It avoids chopping, or tearing, or break
ing the fibre, by using fine teeth saws, set
close together, and by ginning so slowly
that the seed are stripped as if bv hand
rather than jostled and rocked and jerked
as in the ordinary gin.
Z Instead of throwing the torn lint into
tangled masses, as the ordinary gin does,
it handles it carefully and never releases Its
hold on it. It is first taken on a delicate
brush, where it is smoothed: then pulled
to a cylinder, where it is carded: then to a
doffer, where it is combed, and then into
the card heads, where it is spun.
After studying it carefully I am struck
with two points—its simplicity and its
power. It is miraculous that no one has
ever applied the principle before. And yet
this wonder pales when we think of what its
effect will be. It is my honest opinion that
the handful of machinery before me—for
the attachment is nothing more than the
card cylinder by which au improved gin is
connected with a system of spindles—will
do as much for the sonth as the invention
of steam has done for the world.
A TALK WITH MB. 8THXBLIXG.
I bad a long talk with Mr. Stribling, who
an unusuallv intelligent man. He said:
“The main thing we claim for the attach
ment is that it simplifies the manufacture
of cotton, and will encourage its manufac
ture at home. Now, follow a bale of cotton
raised by a farmer. He first picks it out.
He then takes his seed cotton to a gin. He
hauls his seed cotton back home and then
gets his lint cotton. He then pays for bag
ging aud ties and packing and hauls it to
market He then tells it After paying a
half dozen middlemen good commissions it
reaches a factory. It is then ripped open
and taken to the picking room.
The tangled mass of short fibres is
picked. apart and the odds
and ends carded into indiffereut rolls. It
is then spun into yarn, and is worth just
double what the farmer get3 for it Now
we take a farmer who has one of these at
tachments, or where there is one in his
neighborhood. He takes his seed cotton to
the attachment; he puts it in, aud it comes
out yarn. He has no gin fees to pay; he ha*
no bagging or hauling to do; he has no
commissions to nay, and he see* his seed
cotton converted, not into lint worth 9
cents a pound, but into spun yarn worth
17 cents a pound. It does not hurt the fac
tories, because the factories will weave the
yarn that is spun on the plantations. They
can discard the picking, carding and spin
ning machinery and substitute loom*.
“In the process then of converting the
seed cotton into cloth, besides. 1st, cheap
ening and simplifying every step of the pro
cess it deal* with. 2nd. Producing a strong
er and better product. 3rd. Encouraging
the producer to return the profits of partial
manufacture, and 4th, doing away with
much freights, commission and package. It
also eliminates from the process the giu of
the farmer, and the picking room of the fac
tory?”
“Yes, sir; because the ginning become*
part of the manufacturing process, and the
(ticking machines are not needed, because
the lint is never either torn or tangled or
packed."
a huge estimate of profit.
“What will be the result of the general
introduction of these attachments?"
“Well, let us look at what they have done
already. We were farmers—those of us in
terested in this mill. We used to sell our
cotton at say 9 cents a pound. We now get
17 cents a pound for every pound of yarn
we sell. We have therefore ad-led a value
of 8 cents to every pound of cotton we can
convert into yarn. Tnis is the gr-ss added
value. Our net profit is about o cents per
pound. To be brief, then, we virtually
double the value of every pound of cotton
we get. Of course much oi this increased
value goes to labor aud expense. But then
this value is created on the farm and it
stays at home either as wages or expense of
’ profit. Now the south raises 5,000,000
bales ot cotton. At$50 a bale this would be
$250,000,000. Now the universal use of
Clemen* attachments would nearly double
this value. That crop spun on the planta
tions, as it is now ginned, would
bring into the country $150,000,000 instead
of $250,000,000. Iu order to do this work on
the farms we should give employment to
fully one-fourth more persons than are now
employed. It would rapidly muke the
south independent.”
“You do not think it possible that any
such general introduction of the attach
ments wilt take place?"
“I do not look for them to be universally
adopted at once, bat l do look for their rapid
introduction. Now let us get back to figures.
I ask every farmer that visits me how many
bale* of cotton the gin* in his neighborhood
gin every year. The average I have put at
40 bales. But let us say the average is 50
hales. To gin the 5,000,000 bales now
raised would require 100,000 gms. These
gins cost with building and nil $750
each, let us say. Then we have $75,000,000
invested in gins in the* south. The same
amount would very nearly provide Clement
attachments with which to giu and spin the
whole crop. Take our case. We gin and
spin 500 pounds of seed cotton a da;
ihreedayswe gin ard spin 1.500 pound*
which equal 500 pounds or <>ne bale of lint
cotton, or 100 bales a year. To gin tbis 100
bales we have used hereiofore three gins,
costing us with the houses, etc., about §2,-
500, just wbat our Clement attachment cost.
I look to see gins replaced by attachments
»s fast as the gins wear out or can be dis
posed ot I look to see many gins set aside
and these attachments substituted. The
$75,000,000 invested in gins is idle capital

TIIE LAST DAY
THE NORTH GEORGIA FAIR
I presume it does. I know that if cotton • Principally D*vot«dto th« Diaoutlon of ths JadgM
fibre is stripped from the seed
is picked from the boll it will get dry, brit
tle aud stiff I can see why bales that were
stored away during the war for five or six
years might have made thread that was vir
tually rotten. You see, the farmers know
that they impair the fibre by stripping it
from the seed so early. But they are:
obliged to do it. They need the mouey and '
they cannot sell their seed cotton. * They
must hurry with it to the gin aud get it into
lint at once. Now, the Clement attachment
simply provides a market for seed cotton.
It makes the seed cotton cash to the farmer,
and will thus enable us to allow our chief
staple to reach its fullest strength and ma
turity."
“I haye been asked," Mr. Stribling said,
“how it is that we can card a* much cotton
with one card as the factory people do with
foot or five. I reply that it is because our
fibre is never tangled, or twisted, or torn,
and is easier to card than tangled lint is.
So our gin moves with less than one-fourth
the speed of other gins, but then we gin
every day in the year, because we give cash
for seed cottou, while the regular gins gin
only one month, as they do not Buy seed
cotton."
“Well, now,” said Mr. Stribling, “I have
talked to you in general terms, but I have
been careful to put the figures at the lowest
possible point. I shall prefer all. tliose prho
can to go and examine one of the mills in
actual operation before investing."
“But there are these points I wish to make
in a general way: First, we save a large (»er-
centage of lint that is lost in most ordinarv
ginning processes. The seed dropped from
the Clements gin are stripped clean. The
seed oil mills never re-gin our seeds as
they do most others. A large percent of
cotton wasted by other gins is saved
by ours. This item amounts to a great deal
in the aggregate.
“Next. The Clement attachment offers
the southern farmer a chance to create a
manufactured value by asiuall investment.
It Is not out of the reach of any neighbor
hood of farmers. And it is a blessed thing
for the south that this industry cannot be
transplanted to the north. The north hasn’t
got the seed cotton and they can’t get it.
This is an industry that must bo pursued
on the southern farms—right in the heart
of the cotton fields "
“V/liat is the growth of the Clement at
tachment up to this time?"
“Well, tn.*ee years ago the first one was
put in the Piedmont region. Sin^ then
lour others have been added in
that section. The>e were built without
any solicitation. It was simply because we
hap(>ened to hear of that mill and went and
ooked into it. The result was that others
were built. Every one that has been put
up have prospered and will induce the
building of others. I have had hundred*
of visitors, and I think it certain that at
least 30 new factories will l»e put up in
Georgia and Carolina next year. You see
the time is past for seed cotton this season.
The factories will be built next summer,
and enough seed cotton bought of each crop
to run them all the year. I have had sev
eral men to come as the delegates from
neighborhoods, representing a company of
farmers. AU visitors are pleased, and I
think it certain that 30 to 50 mill* will be
S ut up next summer. There may be a bun-
red mills."
“This will have a considerable influence,
wont it?”
“Yes, sir; the live factories now in the
Piedmont- region, use 4,000 pounds of seed
cotton every day. They create a value of
$120 which is added to the cotton they man
ufacture. Of this amouut fully $40 per flay
is clear profit in their pockets. Fifty mills
of equal capacity would create a value of
$1,200 a day. I am afraid that capitalists
will get hold of tiiese attachments and con
trol them. I should much prefer to see the
farmers own and run them. A capitalist
could put ut) a $10,000 mill in a neighbor
hood and take all the work of the gitis that
he could possibly do. Oti this he could use
2,000 pounds of seed cotton a day. The
farmers may be slow to take them because
they are interested in gins."
“How many would be needed
state?"
“A $3,600 machine, such os ours is, will
use 100 bales in a year. Twenty such mills
might profitably be run in our county.
There should be about one-third as many of
these mills as there are now gins in the
country."
“Why has not the attachment that is in
use at Corinth induced the building of new
ones?”
“I do not know. I supjx>se it is because
Clements, the inventor, is dead, and the
executor, Mr. Whitfield, ha* not pushed it.
Why the articles in The Constitution is all
the notice that the attachment ha* had,
and they have drawn hundreds of visitors.
1 have no doubt those articles will do more
to spread the attachments than twenty
years of actual experience would do. Be
sides I do not think the people of Mississip

The marvel of the whole thing is that it is

reason why the Clements attachment wa*

cause the effort was never made before, l
presume. It certainly looks as if it is the
first thing that would have suggested it
self."

what benefit to the farmers.
“Of what benefit is your mill to the farm
ers around you?**
“The benefits are definite, but of course
are limited to a few. We give the :ull
market price for seed cotton brought
us, charging nothing for ginning.
A farmer who brings his
seed cotton to us. gets just as much as if
he were to have it ginned, baled and hauled
to market, and has none of these expenses
or worry. We then make one cent per
pound on seed cotton or 3 cents on lint cot
ton, clear profit.
“Is this your regnlar profit?”
Yes, sir; I published the details in your
paper some time ago. Oar books will show
that on 500 pounds of seed cotton, our daily
consumption, we make one cent a pound or
$5 a day—or $1,500 a year. This is below
the actual profit, but I put it low purposely.
I see that Mr. Hardee wrote a letter which
was published, in which he on a $4,000
mill, makes $10 a day or $3,600 a year. I
have no doubt he does even better. He
spins 1,000 pound* a day and should make
one and a half cents a pound, as the profit
increases with the product. For $25,000
Clement attachments can be bought to use
5.000 pound* of seed cotton per day. which
I am sure will pay $75 per day or $22,200 a
year. It is perfectly safe to estimate that
the profit will be from one cent to one cent
and a half on every pound of seed cotton

SOME POINTS or INTEREST.
Is the yarn that yon make better than
the yarn made In factories?”
Yes, sir. And for this reason, among
others: The seed of cotton is filled with
oil. Of course this oil is put in the seed
for a purpose. Its purpose is to oil the fi
bre—make it flexible, smooth and strong.
In the old style, the farmers pull the cot
ton before it is fully matured, and the seeds
are then taken out at once. The cotton i*
packed away and dries, and hardens, and
grows brittle. With the C'lemeut attach
ment we buy the seed and pack it away.
The seed is then with the fibre and the oil
enriches and smoothes it, and makes
it flexible. We are now spinning old
cotton that is still packed away iu
the seed. Our yarn is soft and smooth.
We can see the diflerence at once when we
begin to spin new cotton. Another thing
that makes oar yarn better is that the fibre
i* never chopped, or torn, or cut, or tangled.
Experts say that our yam is just a* fine as
the yarn spun from the sea-island cotton.
It is simply because we preserve the fibre
? its original length and strength. The old
way, is not with the machine itself. That is I „ u . •

“Do your yarns last better than yarns

“Yes. sir. Do you know that on a fibre
of cotton as seen through a magnifying
glass there are countless little barbs that
stick out like the little teeth you see on
some rough spears of grass? These barbs or
tentacles are what give cotton its cohesive

make it stick when thrown on yoi
