KU KLUx MARAUDERs woRsTED.

RICHMOND, Va, April IA. 1873.
Accounts from Edgefeld give the following Of q
Ku Klux raid :-One night last week party OF
Georgians. three or four in number, visited the
plantation OF Mr.. Frank Sharpton living in the
Dark Corner, in search OF certain negro laoorers
who had left them. Not finding the negroes for
whom they sought, they turned in and whipped all
the blacks on Mr.. Sharptons place, and upon leav-
ing told them they would return on Tuesday night.
This they did-the party increased by one or two
and found the negroes armed and ready for the fray
The latter fired promptly, killing q man named
Fobb and seriously wounding another OF the same
name. About thirty shots were fred by both
parties The Georgians certainly appear in the
light Of very bold law-breakers.

THE HERALD:AND SUBMARINE ENTERPRISE

>From the Plattsburg IN. " Republican, April H.
THE LAST FEAT IN JOURNALISM.
The modern press sends its agents and inter-
viewers everywhere upon the face OF the globe, to
the tops OF the highest mountains, the depths of
the gloomest mines and caverns, ana to the
wids OF Central Africa, for the accomplishment
OF feats of which even the best organized national
enterprises fail And now comes the story OF a
New YORK HERALD correspondent, who, the other
day, took walk In divers armor over
the wreck OF the Inflated Atlantic which lies at
the bottom Of the sea- or the bleak coast OF Nova
scotia. He peered int the hold, where he saw
fishes swimming in and out among the dead bodies,
feasting like ghouls and got sight into one OF the
steerage cabins, where all the women and children
were drowned as they lay in. their hunks.

REPORTER-From your long experience, Colonel.
among the Indians, may ask your opinion OF peace
commissioner
Colonel CHAPMAN--I should not like to give an
opinion loosely the subject for it is a somewhat
intricate question, but am aware that the public
look upon them, as general rule as failures. l
would, however, say this with reference to the
Peace Commission in question: that when they
have evidence that the Indians are guilty
OF prevarication and acting with manifest
i'll faith, think 1t dangerous policy for the Peace
Commissioners to entrust their lives IN the hands
of such men. For my own part have far greater
belief in the honesty ana good conduct Of q wild
Indian than of these semi-civiized Indians for to
quote Warren Hastings, '.they have all the vices OF
the whites with none OF their virtues"
REpORTER-You have fought against the Indians,
believe, Colonel
CoLoNEL-Yes, in 1855 commanded battalion
OF 500 men OF the First Oregon volunteers, and we
fought against
THE ROUGE RIVER INDIANS,
whose location was about hundred miles from
that of the Modocs of the present day. We had
several battles and lost considerable number or
men, and the war terminated in the Spring OF 1856,
by the Indians putting themselves under the pro-
lection Of United States troops.
PEACE POLICY.
REr0RTER-What is your experience OF the peace
policy towards the Indians?
Colonel CHAPMAN-My opinion is that l would
make all Indians aiders and abettors who have
knowledge OF preconcerted massacres similar to
that at the lava beds. They would then know that
their lives are In the balance for such acts OF vile
treachery, and would treat them precisely as we
treat white men In this respect, making them
equally responsible. II they knew thai we enforced
thk regime we should have numerous inf0rmers
when such acts as those we have just heard of are
in contemplation.
NIB. MEACHAN, THE PEACE COMMISSIONER.
REPORTER-I suppose you know Mr.. Meacham,
who was w0unded9
Colonel CHAPMAN-Yes, certainly. He was a resi-
dent of Eastern oregon, and possessed considera-
BILE property the Blue Mountains, and his family
resided at Salem. Oregon, on the line of the Port
land Dallas and salt Lake Railroad. He was an
enthusiastic Methodist and highly respected man.
