& Co. advertise in our columns n long
list of standard educational text
books, many of which are we'll and
favornbly known in the institutions
of learning throughout the South.
This publishing house has done
much for the interests of education
throughout the whole country, by
selling their school books at mode
rate prices, and getting them out in
neat andsubstantial style. We hope,
therefore, that their works, edited by
the most competent scholars and
teachers, will continue to be extern
sively used. But still, we would be
gratified to see some efforts made in
this direction by Southern teachers
and people. AS the Richmond Dis
patch remarks, the South would be
wise if she were to manufacture OF
home every article of every kind that
she needs. This is as true of school
books as of brooms and buckets.
We shall never advise our people to
prefer worthless Southern book or
broom to n valuable Northern one.
Like the Dispatch, however, the rest
being equal, we shall always advise
them to buy the Southern book or
broom.
In former days, all such advice
was considered purely sectional and
as contributing to sectional strife;
now, however, this charge cannot be
made. We desire to see the South
make every effort to render herself
independent-not only of the North,
but of every other country, as every
community of enterprising people
should do. 1t is our duty to keep all
the money we can nt home; b1t - 10
still q higher duty to incite our peo-
pie to habits of industry and self
reliance. Let our learned men and
our teachers go to work and aid in
this great work of recuperation.

A Terrible Hand-lo-Hand Flight.

Fort Reno Correspondence Of Louisville Journal.
Herewith give you additional and accurate
information OF the terrible calamity that befel
the 18th United States Infantry on the 2lst day
of December, 1856, at or near Fort Phil. Kear-
new IN Dakotah Territory. On that ill-fated
train of the aforesaid post. Colonel H. b. Car
rngton, the commandant, sent out reinforce
ments TO assist the guard of the wood train.
The Indians numbered fifty, the reinforcing
marty numbering eighty.One men, including
officers and citizens. AS soon as the Indians
perceived that we were in close quarters, they
began to retreat. Our men followed them.
The IDdians entered q ray1ne, our men still
following. The Indians had two thousand war
riors concealed in the ravine. The troops were
permitted to enter the narrow deile until they
were carefully and hopelessly surrounded.
Then commenced one OF the most terrible hand
to.hand fights ever recorded in the history of
Indian warfare. Our eighty-one whites re-
pulsed two thousand Indians in three successive
charges; but the fourth charge was too much
for them Owing to the overwhelming num-
bers and disadvantageous ground, our men
could sustain themselves no longer. They were
killed and scRlped to man. Not one was lett
10 tell the tale of blood.
The post was too weak to send assistance to
those poor fellows. They were horribly mutt
lated. There was but one eyewitness TO thls
fight, DR.. Hines, he being at distance from
those men engaged. He states that our men
fought desperately. The Indians kept nun
dred men busy carving off their dead and
wounded. 1t is a suppoeition that the loss OF
| the Indians amounted to four hundred KILLED
and wounded. This fact, however, is not easily
! ascertained, as they carry OFF their dead and
| wounded on purpose TO keep them from being
seen or the number known.
