Inc work OF revision OF the Scriptures, long
talked-of, has at last been actually Commenced
by the Church of England. On the 22f uItimo
the revisers OF the New Testament met for the
first time, the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol
presiding, and al preliminary arrangements
connected with the form and carrying on of the
work were discussed and agreed t., and some
progress made in the actual work. The London
Times says that the whole tone and character
of the meeting was such as to suggest a we'll
grounded belief that this great and important
work will be carried on with harmony, promp-
titude and success

The news which comes from the west of a
general Indian war impending on the plains.
cannot surprise any one who knows ANYTHING of
indlan character and who carefully noted the
tails which passed between Red Cloud and the
representatives OF this government during the
late visit Of that chief u Washington. At every
meeting between them, the positions assumed
by the great Sioux leader were exa,ting threat
enine, and defiant. while the language of those
who conferred with him was diplomatic, LADY,
IKE, and to the last degree conciIiatory. This
sort OF talk sounds pleasant to the ear and reads
well In miner state papers, but il don't impress
the noble red man feathers weight.
Had Mr.. Cloud been told plainly and 50 uareIv
that the underlying questions at issue between
the whites and his race simply the old and
ever waging contest between civilization and
barbarism; that Is the former is better and
stronger than the latter, so it is certain TO nre
vail IN the end; that the final and eomplets
overthrow Of barbsrism throughout the world ia
AT oest only question of time and behavior.

a wiser and a sadder man. As IL was he went
away with the feeling that he was superior in ALI
the attributes Of manhood, as interpreted nv
his understanding, to any Of those with whom
he came in contact, and that though the pale
faces might outnumber his warriors and excel
them in equipment, yet that pluck, dash and the
advantages of his situation would more than off,
set these odds
That he has impaired a touch of this spirit 70
his tribe and their neighbors seems nov pretty
clear, and that in this faith they mean TO take
the war path, appears to be equally certain.
of course there can be but one final result; but
II may take vast deal of money and blood to

affair Is that the fearful waste Of both might
have been saved.

CON hear the truth about the Indian dspreda-
tons on these frontiers. It Is true version Of
what took place within five miles Of this post
lives:
ON the sd instant, as a young man named
Mason, fIom Little Wind River Valley /" and
a man rsmed Morgan, who has a ragc6s near
thls post, we're returning from South Pass CITY
where they went to buy some provisions ! and
within . few miles Of shis eaap, tssy weress-
tackled by q party Of Indians isuppSs al to be

q mar with them named DR.. Barre, from emf
neT's Delight" who was going to the Hot
81 rings, on Little Wind River Valley, to re-
cruit his heath but never got there As he shared
the fate OF the other two. man named
Anthony brought the news of the massacre
10 this post about two O'Clock q. m. on the 9th.
DieSet Lie ui. Col. Chas. u Bartlett sent oct a
party OF thirty men and one wagon under COM
nand OF Lieut. James n. Spencer to bring in
the bodies What a sad sight met their gazs
when they arrived at the scene OF the massa-
ere. There lay the three bodies drenched with
gore, that Of Morgan lrssng a dozen or more OF
arrows through Ii, besides having two horse
shoes ted together by trace chain driven
through IT, The skull was stripped bare of skin
and a wagon hammer was buried in It, The
body of Mason was riddled with bullets and ar
rows, the skulfbroken and stripped bare Of skin,
also several deep gashes all over the BODY made
win knife or tomabawk. The skin was strip
ped from the head Of DIR. Barre but was not
carried on, he being bald. He appeared to
have suffered more agony in diving than either
or the oilers. The Indians took away the team,
but they lett one OF their ponies dead on the
ground. The bodies we're brought into camp
where Col Bartlett read the burial service over
them, after which they we're deposited in three
eraves dug for them by the soldiers, having for
com US some canvass provided by Lieut.. John
Scott, A. A. q. NJ. at this post.
The Indians are visible on the bluffs around
this post every day, and keep up signal fires By
night. 1t looks as IL they meant to do some
mischief in this Valley ere long.
The Big Horn expedition left here this morn
ing for Big Horn range; they number about one
hundred and twenty-five men. all well armed
and one piece of artillery. The expedition is
commanded by Judge Guy Kendall, hate of
General Prices staff. My opinion is that none
OF that party will ever get back, as the Sioux
Indians are very thick up there. M. III. w.

Admission of Georgia.

Congress has at length closed up the work of
reconstruction by providing for the admission
of Georgia, although this much was barely ac-
complished before the adjournment, and it was
doubtful for some days previous whethcror not
there would be an agreement between the two
Houses. The Georgia bill, as approved by the
President provides "that the State of Georgia,
having complied with the Reconstruction Acts,
and the fourteenth and fifteenth articles of
amendment to the Constitution of the United
States having been ratified in good faith by a
legal Legislature of said State, it is hereby de-
clarcd that the State of Georgia is entitled to
representation in the Congress of the United
States but nothing in this Act contained shall
be construed to deprive the people of Georgia
of the right to an election for members of the
General Assembly Of said State as provided for
in the Constitution" The ambiguous phrase
relating to the State election this fall is thought
to require an opinion from the Attorney Gen
eral of the United States but it is understood
that Mr. Akcrman filvors the idea that the peo-
pie are to elect new Legislature, and hence it
is presumed that there will be an opportunity
for the people to eust the present Radical ma
jority from the legislative halls. The general
opinion in Georgia, irrespective of party, is
that the bill gives the State an election this
fall although Gov Bullock will take the oppo-
site position. 1t is thought that leading Re-
publcans will differ from him, and we may
confidently expect that our neighbors across
the Savannah will emerge from misrule and
corruption at the clectionin November.

Dastardly Outrage.

It has been, long while since the county of
Anderson was disgraced by one Of those das-
tardly outrages, where party of men, banded
together for evil purposes, make an attack up
on defenceless and unprotected parties. 1t is
our duty, however, to record such an occurrence
rs transporting on last Saturday night, two or
three miles north of this place. It seems that
party of either colored or disguised white
men visited the house of a colored woman
named Mary Sloan, and bursting open the door,
proceeded to administer a severe whipping to
her, and after numerically beating her for
nearly an hour, as is alleged, they left her in
this terrible and dangerous condition We
learn that she did not recognize any of the
parties but believes that they were white men
with their faces BACKED. The proper authori-
ties have charge of the investigation of this
outrage, and will make every effort to arraign
the perpetrators and bring them to justice
Medical aid was sent to the woman by one of
our public officers, and it may be relied upon
that the utmost care and diligence have been
exercised by the civil authorities. The outrage
is universally condemned by the citizens of this
community, and there is general expression
of findignat;on at this unwarantable and un-
iustifable conduct.

The Weather and the Crops.

We are gratifed to state that, during the past
week, splendid rains have fallen in various
sections of the county, and in some instances
where it was much needed. On Saturday last,
in this immediate vicinity, there was consid-
cradle storm, though we hear of no material
damage. Monday and Tuesday brought copi-
Gus showers in several directions, and we think
it likely that the greater portion of Anderson
county has received welcome rains. The crop
prospect is very encouraging. Cotton is yet
backward in some respects, but where good
"stand" was secured early the appearance is
indeed gratifying. Corn is growing vigorously,
and the only regret in this connection is that
there is not more planted. We arc inclined to
think, however, from the best information VIC
can obtain, that the area planted in corn is
greater than heretofore supposed, and that this
county will produce an abundance of corn to
supply its population, if there be no disasters
The wheat crop is larger than for several years,
and the oat crop turned out far better than was
anticipated. Hence, we incline to the opinion
that the farmers of Anderson will be indepen-
dent, so far as supplies for man and beast are
concerned

The War in Europe.

Contrary to the expectation announced last
week. the efforts made to maintain peace be-
tween France and Prussia signally failed. On
Friday last the Legislative Department of
France declared war against Prussia, and based
this declaration upon the following causes:
First, The insult offered at Ems to Count
Benedetti, the French minister, and its appro-
val by the Prussian government.
Second, The refusal of the King of Prussia
to compel the withdrawal of Prince Leopolds
name as candidate for the Spanish throne (;
and
Third, The fact that the King persisted in
giving the Prince liberty to accept the crown.
The declaration concludes "The extra-con-
stitutional changes in Prussia awaken the slum-
bering recolections of 1914. Let as cross the
Rhine and auenge tile insults Of Prussia 1Ae
victors of Jena survive l'
The movement of troops toward the Rhine
began Immediately, and immense excitement
was produced throughout Europe and the civil
lized world. Active preparations are in pro-
gress on both sides, and it is thought that a
collision will take place in an incredible short
time. The Emperor of France and the King
of Prussia have both evinced disposition to
throw obstacles in the way of peace, and the
Intervention of other European powers met
with little or no encouragement from either
France or Prussia Both armies are in excel
lent condition, and troops are hurrying to the
front. There is no immediate probability of
other powers becoming involved, but the gen.
eral opinion seems to be that the progress of
the war will bring about complications in
which nearly every government of Europe
must take Sides The London Times declares
that France, without the shadow of an excuse
or of justification, plunges Europe into war,
of which no person living may sec the end"
The direct cause of the final rupture seems to
have been personal collision between two en-
inent personages-King William of Prussia
and Count Benedetti, the French Ambassador
at the Prussian court. The latter was conduct
ing negotiations for an amicable settlement,
and insisted that the candidacy of Prince
Leopold for the Spanish throne indicated a
hostile intention on the part of Prussia against
the French government, and that it was incum-
bent upon King William to take an official part
in withdrawing him This was peremptorily
refused, and the voluntary withdrawal of Prince
Leopold was held to be sufficient. Under the
instructions of his government, it is to be pre-
sumed the French minister again urged King
William to disavow any participation in this
obnoxious intrigue to secure the Spanish throne
for Prussian Prince, which the French peo-
pie believed to symbolic hostile intention
on the part of Prussia This second time he
was fatty repeIled, and the declaration of war
followed at once.

Gen. Buffers Disabilities Removed.

We are gratifed to know that Congress has,
by special bill, relieved Gen. NJ. G. Butler of
his political disabilities, and that he is now
eligible for the position of Lieutenant Cover
nor. This is q favorable sign, SO far as Con-
gress is concerned, when the Radical majority
in that body will unbend its rigid rules and ex-
tend generous pardon to an ex-Confederate
who has not gone down on his knees before
them 1t likewise relieves the Union Reform
party of any embarrassment in this respect,
and it gives US pleasure to state that the Radi-
cal organ in this State approves the action Of
Congress Altogether, it is a graceful and
timely act on the part Of Senators and Repre-
sentatircs.
