The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1868-12-12

|
The arrival of the steamship Camilla, OF
the direct line between Charleston and
Liverpool, has recalled to our attention
letter signed /" Prosperity" published in
the Columbia Phoenix, a few days ago, in
which the writer condemns the whole sys-
tenn of through shipments, and says that
our policy instead ef enriching our people
is keeping them impoverished, and pouring
all the benefits of our immense crops into
the lap of New York.
There is class of men who, if they can-
not have what they want, will not take
what they can get. To this class, it would
seem, "Prosperity" must belong. At this
this time, we have not the capital to handle
cotton in the South; we have not the means
to draw cotton to Charleston and hold it
here until the owner is ready to sell we
have not the power 10 make Charleston, in
moment, 9 shipping port equal to New
York. And if we were to adopt the shrewd
policy of "Prosperity" we should only kill
our through business without increasing
the amount of sales and purchases in this
city II should require no argument to
prove that the through shipment system is
advantageous to the State. Every bale OF
cotton brought through our seaport gives
something to the railroads, something TO
the drayman, and something to the shipper
IL widens and deepens the channel of trade;
it acoustoms cotton dealers and owners
throughout the South to look upon Charles
ton as the best port of shipment; it makes
Charleston station on the great paths Of
commerce. Nor must it be forgotten that
the very through business of which "Pros-
l,erity" complains enables our railroads to
give accommodations to the local trade of the
State, which they could not give if forced to
rely on local trade alone.
We do not look upon ''through trade" to
New York as the end of all our aims. Di-
rect export and import trade with Europe is
what ne are working for, and what we shall
ultimately secure. But it is our policy to do
the best that we can with the elements which
we can command, and not to decline with
msjesty small profit because we cannot
obtain large one.
For the most part we agree with "Pros-
"perity" shat 'the through shipment sys-
stem should extend only to our seaports;
"there the cotton should be sold; there the
european consumers should be made to
"draw their supplies; there the ships
"should be made to come for it; aad there
sthe money should be negotiated aud cir
"culated;" but until we can make the Euro
pean consumer and the Southern planter,
and the foreign ship-owner do these things,
we are satisfied that it is the wise course
and the first step to the result which "Pros-
perity" desires-:o encourage, in every way,
that through trade which laid the founda-
tion of the wealth of New York and Bali-
more, and, nearer home, has done so much
fer Savannah.

columns of nearly equal strength, and directed
the attack upon the sleeping Indians to be
made at daybreak, from above aid below, from
the roar and the front. Notwithstanding the
fact that TWO of the columns were compelled
to march several miles to reach their posltle n,
three OF them made the attack 80 nearly stimuli
taueously, as to make it appear like one charge.
The column uoT;ng from the lett bank charged
down q precipitous ,.sight, dashed into the
deep waters Of the Washita, crossed, and join
ed in the battle. After conflict of several
hours, the Indians were completely deieated,
with the loss of one hundred and three warriors
(including Black Kettle) killed, ffty-three
squaws and their children prisoners, AMI the
CAPTURE OF their stores, including horses, equip
ments, guns and ammunition. Ofthe implements
of warfare there were captured Cwo hundred
and ten axes, one hundred and forty hatchets,
thirty-6ve revolvers, forty-seven rifles, five
hundred and thirty-Gve pounds OF powder, ten
hundred aud fifty pounds OF lead, 300 pounds OF
bullets. ninety bullet moulds, besides bows,
arrows, arrow-heads, spears and shields. Two
white children held captives by the Indians,
vera recovered; but at the time of the attack
white woman prisoner vas murdered, ana at
the end Of the fights white boy, ten years DID,
had his bowels ripped up by squaw. At noon
a band of Kiowas and Aripahoes, cncamped
six miles below Black Kettles village, came
up 20 attempt the rescue of the Cheyennes,
attacked Custer with great boldness from all
sides. This second battle lasted till three
o'clock, when the Indians were beaten of, and
pursued for distance OF eight miles. Clusters
supplies being exhausted, he was obliged to
return to his wagon train.
