list, however, we were visited with a
good little shower; on Monday a still
better one, and the indications have
been favorable to ‘'general seasons” in
all the regions round about. Crops of
all kinds, we are informed, are in splen-
did condition, aud with continued ‘ sea
sons” the yield, in every department
will be bouutiful indeed. People should
now turn their attention to a large
turnip crop. Scarcely anything pays
jitter—for man or beast—aud an “early ;
stand” should be the motto of every !
oue—no matter how small the “patch.”

Wo would like to know the necessity
for troops in this State. Is this thing
of intimidating white men at the elec
tions never to bo stopped ? In this State
the negro party have a majority of thirty
thousaud, and yet they cry for troops
aud thus acknowledge their inability to
run the government. The fact of their
calling for troops to control the elections
is evidence of their own consciousness
of weakness.

WAR IN THE WEST.
Reported Battle of (General Crook’* Com
mand with the Indians Contradicted.
Washington, July 29.—A special from
Leavenworth, Kansas, says a Btory
comes from Sidney, Nebraska, a recruit
ing station on Union Pacific Railroad,
near Cheyenne, that the Sionx attacked
Crook’s camp, on Goose Creek, killing
nearly 300, and that the command was
driven across the creek. The story goes
that on Wednesday evening A. T. Fray,
post sutler at Camp Sheridan, arrived at
Sidney, statiug that Lame Deer, a
friendly chief, came into Camp Sheri
dan thirty-six hours from the battle
field, as a courier, stating that Crook
had more men killed than Custer. Lame
Deer says the Indiana have full sweep
in the northern country, and propose,
after driving the miners from the Black
Hills, sweeping the agencies and attack
ing the railroad stations. The reported
attack appears made on Monday last.
The report was regarded last night at
General Sheridan's headquarters, in
Chicago, as preposterous. Adjutant-
General Dunn says had Lame Deer
strnck for Sidney from Crook’s camp he
should have passed Rsd Cloud and Spot
ted Tail Agencies.
Cheysnnh, July 29.—N0 authority
for the report of General Crook’s figl n.
The report was made at Sidney two
weeks ago and contradicted from here by
later dates. •
New Yobk, July 29.—Four companies
of United States troops, numbering 300
men, for the Indian frontier, leave Jer
sey City to-morrow morning.
Washington, July 29.—The Secretary
of War has Hent to the House a letter
from General Sheridan recommending
an increase of companies of the Second,
Third, Fourth, Fifth and Seventh Cav
alry regiments to a hundred men, as
was done on the Rio Grande. The num
ber of men required will be 2,500, and
the additional expense $1,634,700. Gen.
Sheridan says in the letter : “The events
which have occurred to the troops, and
my knowledge of the strength of the
Indians, and affairs at the agencies and
in the field, will not warrant, at the
present time, iu asking for volunteers.
I have no objection to asking for them
as soon as I conscientiously believe
their services necessary, but I do not,
from the disaster which came to Custer
from a divided command, like to take
all the responsibility of asking for vol
unteers now. If Congress will increase
the companies, as was done for the two
regiments on the Rio Grande, we can
till them up at once, and they will be
sufficiently large to meet the wants of
the service and relieve the public mind
of the constant fear of disaster to our
present insufficient force iu the Indian
country.”
Omaha, July 29.—An official telegram
from Fort Laramie says a courier has
just arrived from Red Cloud Agency,
and says Red Cloud told him that Crazy
Horse was coming into the agency very
soon, and that his band was now on the
way there. Twenty lodges had already
arrived. Crazy Horse sent word to
Captain Egan that lie would see him,
shake hands, make a treaty, and be
friendly Indian. The Indians lately
arrived will not talk abont the fight, and
pretend to know nothing about it. A
council was held at Cheyenne catap,
while the courier was detained there, to
talk over the change from the civil to
the military authorities. Many opposed
it. Red Cloud has expressed satisfac
tion at the change. Fears are enter
tained that any attempts to deprive the
Indians of their ponies and arms will
meet with resistance, as they can muster
a large force well armed, while thenumber
of troops at the post is very small. It
is thought they will allow themselves to
be numbered withont opposition.
Cheyenne, July 29.—Previous reports
via Missonria river agencies are in part
confirmed by news received, at Fort
Lawrence from Red Cloud to-day.
Runners arrived at the agency, said to
have come from Crazy Horse’s band,
state that that chief with a portion of
his band had left Sitting Bull’s domains
and are en route to the agencies, avow
edly to treat for peace. The turning
over of the, agencies at Red Cloud and
Spotted Tail has beeu without difficulty.
While a majority of the Indians
are disposed to submit gracefully
thereto, quite a number express
dissatisfaction at having soldier fathers
placed over them, and a final council is
being held at Red Cloud to-day. Some
dissatisfaction is felt by the Indians- at
the meagre supply of food, which con
sists entirely of corn, flour and beef.
They insist on sugar, coffee and tobacco,
in fulfilment of treaty stipulations; and
further, in attributing the departure
from the agencies of those who have
joined the hostile bands to this fact,
rather than to a desire for war. An ap
prehension of inability to carry oat the
orders—to disarm all these Indians be
fore allowing them to return to the
agency exists at Campi Sheridan
and Robinson. Three companies of the
Fifth Cavalry go to Camp Sheridan, in
creasing the force at that post to four
companies, while at Camp Robinson
there are only three companies, exclu
sive of one of the Third Cavalry at Sid
ney Crossing, not far distant. The re
port made by John Wariek in forward
ing the memorandum book belonging to
L. P. Richardson is contradicted by W.
H. Hibbard, who arrived here this even
ing, having met Richardson and a coach
load of passeugers at Hot Creek, on the
26th instant.
PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE.
The Afl’air Between Gen. Gary and Captain
Dawson.
I desire to notice briefly the inunen
does contained in an editorial of the
Charleston News and Courier, of the
17th of July instant. Iu this issue of
his paper it appears that Mr. F. W.
Dawson has raised the “ blaok flag”
against me, on account of a communi
cation of mine to the Edgefield Adver
tiser, of July 13th. In that article I
said, “the carpet-bagger Chamberlain,
through his organs, the Union Herald,
of Columbia, and the News <pxd Courier,
was making an industrious attempt to
couvert the white peofile of the State to
the Republican party.” This statement,
he asserts, is “grossly UDjust and wholly
untrue.” Recently, every issue of his
paper contaius fulsome adulations of the
carpet bag Goveraor Chamberlain, or a
vigorous defense of his administration.
With these facts before them, I am will
ing for an impartial public to judge of
the justness and truthfulness of this as
sertion. I cheerfnlly accept the gauge
of battle tendered by Mr. Dawson, and
stand ready to meet his slanderous at
tacks. I only hope, that should the con
test wax warm, that he will not run up
also the “white flag” and claim protec
tion for his carcas. On with the attack,
“and damned be he who first cries,
‘Hold ! enough !’ ” M. W. Gaby.
Edgefield, S. C., July 18, 1876.
In the Journal of Commerce of this
day is a card from Mr. M. W. Gary, in
which he repeats his misstatements iu
regard to the News and Courier, adding
some insolent allusions to me personal
ly. There are public reasons, under
stood in Charleston and elsewhere,
which lead me to postpone, for the
present, my rejoinder to his charges.
Meantime, if Mr. Gary, who sets him-
self up as a champion of the shot gun
policy, feels any solicitude as to the
likelihood of my raising the “white
flag” at his coming, he should lose no
time in resolving the doubt, unless he is
content to be known throughout the
State in the double character of slauder
er and braggart. F. W. Dawson.

Captain E. W. Lawson, Editor Charles
ton Neivs and Courier:
Sir— Your card published in the
Charleston Jou nal of Commerce, of
July 21th instant, must suggest to every
“man of honor” my course of conduct
toward you. In response to it I request
that you will Dame, at an early day,
some place outside the limits of the
State of South Carolina, where I may
address a further communication to you
touching the affair between us. Your
obedient servant, M. W. Gary.

Gen. At. IF. Gary :
Sib—Your note of this date is receiv
ed. It is a well known fact iu Sooth
Carolina that the principles by which I
am governed do not allow me to engage
|in a duel. Nonetheless do I hold my
self personally responsible for every
| word I have written, and especially for
my opinions and language regarding
you. I shall not, now or hereafter, go
out of my way to meet you; bat I can al
! ways be fonnd by those who seek me.
j You have intimated that there is a like
lihood that I shall, at your ooming,
raise the “white flag.” I have, in the
plainest words I could command, bidden
you put this to the test A hostile mes
i sage, which it was a foregone conclusion
! that I should decline, may satisfy you.
It certainly is not,under the circumstan
ces, the most direct way to resent my
course and maintain the position you
had taken.
I am, yours obediently,

WHAT CAN BE CURED
Need not be endured, althongb what
can’t mast be. Among the bodily ills
susceptible of complete removal by that
benign tonic and alterative, Hostetler’s
Stomach Bitters, are general debility,
malarial fevers, constipation, dyspepsia,
liver disorder and nervousness. its
remedial capabilities are, however, by
no means limited to thee maladies. Its
properties as a blood depurent render it
extremely serviceable in expelling the
acrid imparities which produce these
painful disorders, rheumatism and gout,
aud its invigorating and mildly stimula
ting effect upon the kidneys and bladder
constitute it a useful medicine for im
pelling those orgaus to a complete per
formance of their functions when they
are weak and inactive. Ia fact, there is
scarcely any disease of which weakness
is an accompaniment in which this ad
mirable medicine cannot be used with

and general ill-health follows unless the
proper remedy is taken at once.
Those who have not tried “Merrelis
Hepatine” tor the Liver, have no idea
how quickly these bad symptoms disap
pear by using this new discovery. There
is no need of enduring the torment
arising from disordered Liver, Stomach
and Kidneys. If you will go to Barrett &
Land, Augusta, (la., and get a bottle
of the “Hepatine,” which contains fifty
doses—you will be cured before fifty
doses are all taken. d&w

Lands Unsurpabsed For
FRUITS aMFARMING.
Office South Florida Land Agency, 1
Fort Mason. Orange C junty, Florida.)
THE uudersigned have entered into a busi
ness arrangement for the purpose of lo
cating settlers on the public lands (either
United States or State) in this aud adjoining
counties.
Looated iu the most delightful portions of
Orange county, in a section of territory con
ceded by all to be the best adapted to the cul
ture of the orange and kindred fruits, and
thoroughly acquainted with all the lands in this
vicinity, we are better able to give information
concerning the lands still vacant than any
others engaged in the laud business in this
county.
The raiiroad now in course of construction
connecting the St. John’s river at Lake George
with Lakes Harris, Eustis, Griffiu, Dora and
the ether headwater lakes of the Oclawaha
river, will furnish all the surrounding lands
with ample transportation facilities and place
settlers within easy distance of the Northern
and Eastern markets.
THE CLIMATIC ADVANTAGES
Of this section of territory are so well known
as scarcely to need recapitulation. Vegetables
and tropical fruits can be grown throughout
the year .without danger from cold. The
severest floats of this lake region do not in
jure vegetation, as was proven during the past
Winter, when the frosts killed early vegetables
at considerable distances south of us and left
this region untouched—not a blade of grass
being injured.
HOMESTEADS NEAR THE RAILROAD.
We are now prepared to locate settlers on the
public lands in close proximity to the railroad.
One of the undersigned (Mr. John S. Banks)
has just completed a thorough survey of a
large tract of United States lands, situated at
from three to six miles distance from the rail
road. These lands are not only admirably
adapted to the culture of oranges, but are also
exoellent for farming pui poses, and can be
easily brought into cultivation, the old settlers
in the vicinity raising an abundaqjt supply of
com, cotton, sugar, etc., mpen them.
GET A HOMESTEAD NOW.
Parties who propose settling in Florida will
find it greatly to their advantage to obtain
their homesteads during the Summer months,
and thus avoid the rash of the Fall months.
Those desiring to locate near the railroad will
obtain
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES FREE
If their entry i* made before the completion of
tilt road. After its completion, which will be
some time this coming Fall, they will not he per
mitted toenter more than eighty acres. Persons
locating during the Summer cau also get their
lauds in read.uess for a crop of early vege
tables next Winter, and thus be enabled to re
alize a profit from the lands immediately. We
are now
PREPARED TO LOCATE SETTLERS,
Singly or in colonies, at moderate rates, and in
every case we guarantee complete satisfaction.
No lands will tie located by us until oue of us
have thoroughly surveyed them, and in all
cases our patrons shall be given the best tracts
of which we have any knowledge, without
favoritism or partiality being shown to any
one.
STATE LANDS.
We are also prepared to kxjate, survey aud
purchase any desired quantity of State lands,
and will perform this work either for a speci
fied price iu money or for an agreed upon per
centum of land. We now have some choice
pieces cf State land marked out on our maps,
which have been surveyed by us, and which
are among the best lands hi this Stats.

BANKS & ST. CIAIR-ABB AMS.
Fort Jlason, Orange county, Florida.
To My Friends in Georgia, Alabama
and south Carolina.
In response to many letters received by me,
I have entered into a business arrangement
with Mr. JOHN S. BANKS for the purpose of
locating settlers on the public lands of this
aud adjoining counties. Mr. BANKS is a prac
tical surveyor of many years’ experience, and
possesses a thorough knowledge of the public
lands, having been United States Register of
Public Lands in this State. We have ex
plored and surveyed a considerable tract of
these lands, and we are now prepared to locate
settlers on
CHOICE HOMESTEADS.
Many persons have written me expressing a
desire to move to this State dhring the present
year. These I would advise to OBTAIN THEIR
HOMESTEADS NOW. In the Fall months the
rush of Northern settlers is so great that it is
difficult to obtaiu choice homesteads; whereas
at present the travel is light, and one can se
lect a place with greater ease. In addition,
the large tract of homlstead lands contiguous
to the railroad, recently surveved and opened
up for settlement by Mr. BANKS, if not en
tered this Summer wifi inevitahiy be taken up
by the first mfinx of. Northern travelers next
Fall. As my desire (without prejudice to
Northern settlers) is to locate the numerous
citizens of the States above nam and on choice
Homesteads, while able so, I urge them
to make the selections at ouoe, and thus se
cure valuable and eligible homes in this State.

THE EDGEFIELD ADVERTISER !
THE ADVERTISER has enjoyed such a run
of advertising for the last forty years
that it seems superfluous now to publish its
merits as an advertising medium, but it is tho
Centennial year, and everybody is doing some
thing new that was never done before. It will
suffice to say that the population of Edgefield
county is 43,486, according to census 1870, and
that THE ADVERTISER is the only paper in
the county: that it also circulates freely in the
counties of Abbeville, Aiken, Barnwell, Lau
rens, and in the States of Georgia, Alabama
Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas ana Florida.
