A DESPERATE FELLOW.
Attempt to Organize Band of Robbers.


From the NdshUille Union Of the 3D. instant
Some few years ago there came to this county
from Indiana says the Murfreesboro Monitor,
man by the name of John Carter, who, since
that time has made his home in the neighbor-
hood of Smyrna. Carter represented himself as
a Methodist preacher, and SO far rs we know,
until recently bore a good character; at least
his rascality never came to light. From some
cause the suspicious of the citizens were
aroused that all was not right with Car
ter, and a close watch was kept upon his move
ments, which eliminated in his arrest on
Friday last, on charge of attempting TO orga-
niZe a band of robbers. He was taken to
Smyrna on Saturday, and his case was investi-
gated by Esquires Mclaughlin, Boring, and
Dillin. Several young men of the neighborhood
boys from twelve TO sixteen years of age-tes-
tilted that Carter had made proposals to them to
join his band. He stated to them that his plan
was to disguise themselves and arrest those
whom they suspected of having money and
hang them by the neck until they disgorged;
if that was not sufficient to murder them for
their money. He also stated that he had
been connected with such a band prior to
the war: that he had never committed
hiding the bodies of several killed by his gang.
The young men whom he attempted to inveigle
into his nefarious scheme are of the highest re-
spectability, and their testimony was corrobora-
tive. After hearing the testimony the maris-
trates concluded to bind him over to the Criminal
Court,ifxing his bond at $4,000. Carter appealed
pitCously to the bystanders for his security,
saying that his statements to the young men
were made in jest, and assuring them that he
would not attempt to escape. Failing to procure
bail, he was ordered to Jail in this city.
During the progress of the trial the excite
mcnt in the village was very great and fears
were entertained that our county would again
be the scene of deed of violent lawlessness; to
the honor of Rutherford be it said better coun-
sells prevailed, and the law was allowed to take
its course.

MYSTERIOUS,
Tie secret vaults Benenth ConstnntinopIe.


A correspondent of the French Journal Off
when a large house in Constantinople had sunk
beneath the level of the soil, an immense series
of subterranean vaults was discovered, sup
ported by magnificent marble pillars, which,
Judging by their rich decorations, were the
work of Greek artists Underneath the vaults
is lake of unknown extent and of considera-
bic depth. This mysterious construction, of
which history makes no mention, is supposed to
extend under considerable part of the city, The
principal entrance, being the only one accessi-
bic to visitors, is situated in the courtyard of a
private palace, the proprietor of which has a
boat in which he amuses himself sailing about
within hundred yards of the entrance. Last
month an Englishman, accompanied by sailor,
desired to explore the lake thoroughly; having
obtained the necessary permission, he set forth
on his adventurous journey, but never returned,
he and the sailor having been asphyxiated be-
yond the reach of help. Another Englishman
volunteered to go alone in search of them in
another boat with six torches attached to
it; for long time the reflection of the torches
upon the waters was visible to the onookers at
the entrance, until it was lost in the gloom and
darkness. After an absence of two hours he
returned from his unsuccessful search COM
pletely exhausted, and nearly choked with the
foul air he had inhaled, having in his whole
course seen the ranges of vaults and pillars uni
formly continued. The Turkish authorities
have ordered the boat to be lifted, and prohibited
parties from sailing on the lake, but still permit
tie curious to inspect this singular construction
at the entrance, which reminds the beholder of
tie architectural wonders of ancient Egypt"

NEW MEXICO.
Territorial Aaairs-Numbers, Condition, and
Designs of the Indians.


The st. Louis Republican says:-
''Governor William A. Pile of New Mexico
has arrived in the city from Santa Fe ana gone
TO Washington where he intends laying before
the administration his plans, and to consult
about the general interests of the territory. Inc
Governor represents New Mexico as good Tor
mining, and the best stock country in the world.
A considerable emigration is coming In from
Texas and Arkansas. The quartz mining is
prospering, but gulch mining has almost ceased
for want of water. The Marino mines are yield
ing very finely the present season.
"A short time since we gave the present status
of Indian matters in General Hazens depart
mcnt extending to the borders of New MEXICO.
Governor Pile gives us the following statement
regarding Indians in his territor ory:-Insde of
New Mexico there are twenty thousand Indians
IN the northern part of the territory are three
tribes, the Utes, Hickory Apacbes, and the
Utahs, who are generally harmless and peace
able, and live by hunting and fishing. No
trouble is expected in this quarter, unless the
Government attempts to force the Utes (under a
treaty which was obtained by getting some of
the chiefs drunk one year ago. upon reserva-
tion some one hundred and fifty miles north
west of their present location on the Cimerone
river.
''The Navajoes, ten thousand strong, having
returned to their old country from the Boske
Redondc, have been industrious the past sea-
son, and raised good crops of oats, wheat, and
vegetables. These Indians are now peaceable
and quiet, with the exception of some three or
four hundred professional thieves, who alternate
in their rovings between the reservation and the
southern Apache country on the ella. Ii the
Navajoe nation is judciously managed, the
Governor thinks no further serious trouble need
be apprehended from them.
SIN the southern part of the territory of New
Mexico the Gia and Musculara Apaches have
been exceedingly troublesome all summer Their
principal object is the stealing of herds and the
plunder of trains laden with freight. Ordinarily
they do not murder, unless it becomes necessary
in order to get away with their plunder.
"For defense against these marauders Cover
nor Pile has authorized the organization of a
mounted posse in each election district of the
exposed counties These hostile Indians number
about twelve hundred, and the precincts from
which the posse is to be raised number about
sixty, which give a force adequate to put down
the outlaws.
"The Governor says he is confident that, if the
Quaker system inaugurated at Washington does
not interfere with his plans, he will put the terri
tory, within the next three or four months, in a
perfect condition of defense. Since the advent
of Vincent Colyer no Quakers have been out
there. There about two thousand troops
guarding the different posts OF scattered about
the territory"

SICKLES' NOTE.
The President PrOnOunces the Published Sy-
nODsis BOAus.

Writes the Herdld8 Washington correspondents
correspondent from Madrid recently gave to the
American public what purpOrted to be a correct alb
stract OF Minister SickleS note to Regent SerranO,
and in some parts professed to give the exact Ian
guage employed to express the views OF our Govern
ment on the Cuba question. The character OF the
note, as thus represented, was most extraordinary
a diplomatic document. 1t represented Sickles
as accusing the Spanish government of countenanc-
ing "hOrrible atrocities, cOld-bOoded murders and
assassinatons' and other enUrmties that modern
civilization could not tolerate 1T made Sckles call
Spain poverty-strlCken country, and at the same
time delivered a sort of Fourth of July Grafton to
the venerable Serrano The document altogether
was remarkable for "hifalutin'-very unlike
Sickles style and certainly highly inapprO-
pirate in diplomatic paper. With a view to
asCertaming the genuinencsS of this alleged note,
your correspondent to-day called at the White House
and laid the document as published before President
Grant, who, after running through it in his sharp,
quick manner, remarked that 1t evidently
bogus that although all the official information on
the subject had not yet been received, still there
was no doubt that Minister Sickes had not en-
ployed such extraordinary language in his negOtia
tons with the Spanish Government The President
further stated that all the information on this i'm
pOrtant subject would be given to the pubc on the
meeting of Congress, and then the country would
have an opportunity to judge fairly This means of
course, that, accompanying his message, he will
transmit to Congress copies of all the correspond
ence that has taken place during the Cuban-Sickles
negotiations

Strength of the Opposing Political Parties.
From, the Nashville Press and Times, oct. 2.
To venture a general analysis of the vote of
August last, it would be fair perhaps to say that
of some TO 900 votes polled, 70 600 were Demo-
cratic, $500 conservative q. e., men of Whig
antecedents, and many of them Union men
during the Rebel!ion), and 65OOO Republican
and ultra radical. The Democracy, although
seemingly passive during the canvass, are
probably the best organized party; the conser-
Vatives are numerous, intelligent and inhuen-
tial while the Republican element was
by its internal dissensions personal quar-
res, and the eXcesses of the ultra faction, which,
by an unfortunate combination of circumstances,
cot the lead. The ordinary tendency of politics
in the South would be an alliance between the
Democratic and majority of the conservative
element. The latter plainly hold the balance of
power, and can throw the victory with whatever
side they unite their strength. Confident the
Democratic faction may be, the position which
they hold is by no means secure. All depends
upon good management, prudence, and fair
play. Some are confident that on all questions
there will be perfect alliance between the con-
servatives and Democrats in the Legislature,
which will meet next Monday, and that the most
radical measures of the latter party be carried
almost without opposition.
The excesses of politics in this State for some
time past are full of instruction and admonition
to the incoming regime. In medic tutiSSiHus
ibis. 1t is the part of gamblers and adven-
tureTs to risk everything, but not of statesmen.
Theirs is a higher and nobler work, for it must
affect the interests of all classes and conditions
in private life as well as the strength, prosper
ity, and honor of the State. We express the
wishes of a great maj ajority of the people in pray
ing for moderate line of policy, free from the
excess of faction, and from all spirit of revenge
and retaliation, in the approaching session of
thp IpUislature.

Progress Of the Plan to Overthrow the Present
Legislature.


The New York Herald this morning prints the fol-
lowing as coming from Richmond last night
Though the proposition made In the radical caucus
to secede from the General Assembly defeated
after midnight yesterday IL still remains under
sderation and is being discussed tonight AS far as
disclosed the plan is that those members who could
take the test oath would organize separate and dis
tnct body OF both branches OF the Legislature, elect
temporary ofcers and, las they would necessarily be
without quorum, adjourn from day to day until
those who ran as candidates and received the next
highest number of votes could be sworn in. AS
as a quorum could be obtained the two self-cOnsti-
tute1 houses would ratfy the fourteenth and If
and fill all the offices provided for by the Coustitu-
toD, such as Supreme, Circuit, and County Judges,
and the offices Of Treasurer, First and Second
Auditor, Secretary OF State, etc. In the meantime
the radicals to retain their seats in the present
illegal body, so called, against the proceedings
OF which they have already entered pro-
test to be spread on the journal and
be held at night. IL is authoritativey
stated that this plot Is suggested by radical leaders
in Congress, and Charles H. Porter, Representative
elect is its champion here, though he is personal
enemy OF Ben Butler who imprisoned him at the
Rip Raps, wheE in command OF the Department of
Norfolk during the war Hon. J. II. Platt, another
radical Congressman elect is opposed to this move
ment. He proved too strong for Porter in the eau
Gus last night, and defeated it by two votes Its
advocates, however, are persevering and it is fully
expected the plot Will be matured, and an appeal
made to Congress to recognize the Legislature thus
created as the legal representative body of the peo
pie of Virginia.
The Governors message VIII be read tomorrow
and the fourteenth amendment win probably be rat-
fled. Up TO the present there has been nothing said
about the Senatorial question. Candidates Will be

A SLAYER.
Her Capture with 236 Natives OIL Boar


A British sailor writes from Aden:-
"We have been cruising about the coast of
Arabia for the last seventy days, in search of
slavers principally. Our boats away up and
down the coasts and bays sixty miles distant,
and ourselves chasing and boarding the dhows
(slavers) in sight; one hundred and forty-four
dhows were stopped and boarded and l began
to despair of ever taking SLAYER again q. e., a
dhow laden with slaYes), when on the 26th of
May, at 2. NJ, our cutter went after a fellow,
which with long glass | watched intently; she
was only IA in sight, and swept in shore in the
shadows. We made all preparation to prevent
their escaping, both by land and sea, and already
she had landed fifty of her crew and slaves.
This was a fatal mistake they made; the
cutter was upon them almost instantly, turning
one of the coves and she made dash at the
dhOW without the necessity of waiting for sup
ports to come up, and carried her without loss.
The Arabs on shore began firing behind rocks,
but it was too late-their forces were divided,
and the Snider overhead soon brought them to.
The dhow was a slaver with 236 sayes-a tre-
mendous haul. She had broadside gun with
slugs to polish off our boat at night, and her
crew were of the Zoorg tribe, and bound to
fight, with plenty of ball cartridge. She fell an
easy prey, and it has considerably rejoiced all
hands after the hard work we have had, and
under which we were all rapidly getting played
out. / am now on my road to Alden to land our
dark friends; from there we 90 to Seychelles
then to Zanzibar the Mozambique, and will be
Cd. VI at Bombay about the end of November
next"
