Unreliable Contraband.

The Wilmington. (Del Republican,
of Monday. says: 1.-TWO of our most re-
spectacle citizens were terribly hoaxed
by a contraband few days since. He
formerly lived near Memphis, Tennes-
see, and stated to several gentlemen,
privately, that he had been the confden-
tial slave Of his master, and that when
the Union army advanced on Memphis,
master, with his assistance, had buried
S45, 900 in gold that he escaped North,
and soon afterwards his master was kill
ed, and none knew the place of the de-
posite of the treasure hut himself. He
applied in vain to several parties, but at
last succeeded in getting two Of our citi
zens to go with him to Memphis, promis-
ing to remunerate them from the treasure.
They accordingly started to Memphis
with the negro, who eat and drank of the
best; in fact, lived like q lord, by the
way, and arriving there, went in the
night with the negro to dig for the trea-
sure in graveyard While they were
digging. the negro made some excuse to
get away from them, and then making
sudden bolt. left them. with their spades
and shovels, to get away the best way
they could. The operation cost the par
ties about $500.

The following brief particulars OF the
recent massacre On the plains we're re-
ceived on the 2lst inst: A detachment
OF troops, consisting of eighty four men
and three officers, started from Fort Phil
Kearney, taking the road to Montana.
When five miles from the fort the troops
were attacked and surrounded by three
thousand Indians, and, after a most des-
perate fight, every one of them was
killed. It is repor ted that the loss of
Indians greatly exceeded the number OF
troops engaged. Sufficient reinforce
ments have been sent from Fort Laramie
to protect the military posts along that
route.

Cooperative 0rocsriss.

Cooperative grocery stores have been
established in several places for the bene
fit of working men. The principle OF
these stores may be said in brief to be
selling at retail at Wholesale prices. Al
though this result has not been CON-
pletely reached, a considerable degree
has, and the advocates claim that when
its merits become better known, the
sales and the profits viii become greater.
The history Of the cooperative princi-
pie dates from December. 1864. when it
was frat set in operation in Troy, New
York, by the Trades Assembly The
experience OF the Troy Co operative

the system. Tie charter was procured

true he had small profit from his stock,

IMPORTANT TO BUSINESS MEN The
following from the Pittsburgh Gazette,
q sketch Of business house in that city !.
admirably illustrates our views:
..In brief interview with one of our
most liberal patrons, a few days since,
we inquired his experience in the policy
of advertising. We regard his answer
noteworthy. and commend it to the con
sideration of others. He said the same
kind Of business in which he was enga-
ged had been carried on at that stand for
ten years by one, and nearly ten by an
other predecessor. That these men gave
diiligent attention to their business. were
sober and frugal, but spent nothing for
advertising They we're just barely able
to exc out q living
"That he bought out the concern ten
wears ago. and became debtor for the
whole establishment He feit poor, and
only expended fifty dollars per annum in
each Of the business papers, the frst
vesr: that subsequently he increased his
expenses to several thousand annually
for advertising. aud the result has de-
moustrated its marvellous utility, and he
is TO day worth o175 900. and his annual
profits are constantly increasing"
