The Indians.--Prospect of General
War.
SAN FRANCISCO, April ~.

SAN FRANCISCO, April ~.
Reports from the lava beds indicate that
General Gillem is puzzled as to the where,
abouts of the Modocs. 1t ls supposed
they are scattered Small parties are at
times visible in number of places, but
are not found when the places are eaptur
ed, they having escaped by some under
ground connections. General Gillera's In
activity has had bad effect on all the un,
friendly tribes in Northern California and
Oregon. The outside Indians are well
posted in regard to the Modoc war. Nc
satisfactory movement has been made
since the 18th inst. General Gillem re-
quires at least double his present force
and sharpshooters and experienced Indian
fighters are badly needed. The latest
"Chronicle" special reports that Modocs
are entrenced in new ambush, and are
gradually approaching the end of the lava
beds.
A dispatch from Portland, Oregon, says
that the Indians on the Columbia, Snake
and Lewis Rivers are advised of the mur-
der of Candy and are having war dances
The troops in Sonora are pushing the In
dians vigorously.
LEAvENwoaTH, April %.
The Osages and Cheyennes who MUIR
dered the surveying party were fifteen
miles outside of their reservation. The
other surveying parties have withdrawn.
In Southwestern Kansas the Indians are
driving away stock and killing the set
tiers.
ARKANSAS CRY, April "a.
Three men have been killed by Indians
near the State line at Medicine Lodge
Greek. Nine others were killed about the
same time.
VIRGINIA CITY, NEVADA, April 27.
A number of young Pesite Indians, who
spent the winter in the settlements, have
disappeared, well armed. Signal fires
have been seen on the mountains.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 81.
Indians have appeared on Lewis river
settlement with war paint. A general
outbreak in Eastern Oregon is feared. The
settlers ask for arms. Nothing from the

The Modocs are encamped at the base
OF the mountains at the south end OF the
lava beds. All the cavalry horses have

Of Americans were killed. Trouble in the
Blackieet country is reported, in conse-
quence of which eight thousand Indians
crossed the line and threatened the inte-
rior settlements and Manitoba.
WASHINGTON, April 2S.
Schofeld telegraphs that there is no
doubt but that some of the Modocs es-
capped. Should the threatened Indian out
break in Oregon occur reinforcements will
be required.

Cotton Manufacturing in tie South.

The annual report of 81. 81. Hickman,
Esq, President of the Granitevilie Man
ufacturing Company, (says the Augusta
Cosstitutionalist, of Tuesday, gives graf
flying exhibit of the progress and sue
cess Of cotton manufacturesint the South.
The factory Of the company, situated but
few miles from Augusta, on fine wa
ter course in South Carolina known as
Horse Creek, though it might be termed
small river instead of a creek, may be
said, with other factories on thst stream,
to belong to the manufacturing interests
Of this city, as in measure they are de-
pendent on Augusta for the demand tor
their goods, and their Introduction in
Northern markets.
The Presidents report, which we have
been favored with, shows in detail the
operations cf the mills for the year end
ing February 2sth, 1873.
From this exhibit it appears that the
sum of $50, ,sl4 76 has been added to the
surplus; this sum, with the dividends
paid, places the net earnings Of the fiscal
year at slsO, ,2s9 rs, being nearly 26 56-1Oo
per cent. of the capital stock, which is
s716, $780,.
This is a practical illustration of the
advantages which the South can lay
claim to, in the manufacture of cotton
goods by her unsurpassed water power.
At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the company, held on Thurs
day. April Oath, the followin officers
were elected: President-H. H. Hick-
man; Directors-Messrs. j. P. Boyce,
n. Beattie, J. NJ. Clarke, A. B. Davidson,
A. 8. Johnston.
After the meeting of the stockholders
the Board of Directors metand reelected
the following officers of the mills: John
Knott, Manufacturer; J. H. Giles, Sec
retary;. w. E. Mccoy, Cashier; and
George Kelley, Manager.

Yesterday in New Yorka daring at

Siefke was washing clothes in the main

ests of death that dot the land and make
our hills historic. Many husband kiss
ed his wife and little ones, andlwent down
for God and country ito the valley of
death. Manysa maiden whose ,yqnng
heart hear was filed with its IDOL dear to her
as heaven itself, kissed him and hoped
for the happier day of peace, and the
longed:for time, but it came not; the
bridegroom had gone at the summons of
the mystic angel to await his bride in the
Land beyond the river of death. Yes
theirs was suffering, and theirs are the
wounds that can not heal-for, the heart
ola woman ever bleeds when death tears
the loved one from it. We can not
wonder, then, that'i in the South women
should have felt more keenly;the loss of
that cause for which dear ones died !;
while the Southern soldiers, more familiar
with their foe, had grown to respect the
energy and courage shown in opposition.
Wien the war closed it was but natural
that Southern women should see in the
blue-coated soldiers about them slayers
oftheir dear ones and the conquerors of
their land. Every feeling revolted against
showing regard they could not feel and
when political plunderers followed, it was
to be expected that Southern women
would step aside and avoid the contagion
that every honest man, North and South
would loathe; and it was these men who
have belied the South and misrepresented
her beautiful true-hearted daughters.
We hear little now of the heroism of
these women, though their sisters of the
North emulated them in their works of
mercy and sympathy with suffering.
Here iii the South, women worked for
themselves: In everyivillage and hamlet
and valley and plain they made clothing
ssecrapedlint,prepared dainties for, thesick,
and wrote words Of cheer for the we'll, to
show the soldier boys the women a. we're

and the touch of their soft hands had n
healing balm for the burning brow on

for the despondent gentle acts for those
rackcd with pain, and tears pure and
sympathetic as the angels; for those who
lay on soldiers bier. All this has often
come to our minds, and in thinking of
these women we have wondered if in the
great hereafter departed spirits will have
sex for if they do the angel spirits of wo-
men will rest nearer the throne of God,
and their voices will bear the sweetest
song, and their harps rcsound with the
sweetest strain in praise of that God who
rules over North and South, and orders
things in accordance with His great de-
sign. We meant not to SO much, but the
subject is prolific, and our poverty of
treatment is compensated for by our hav-
ing thought on a subject 50 ennobling.
