President Grant In the Indiau Ter
ritory.

ratory.
V1NIrA, I. T., Oct. l2.-The President,
in company with Secretary Borie, Gen.
Harvey and others, arrived here last
evening. Hundreds of Cherokees turn.
ed out to see the ''Great Father" and
Col. Bond;not was selected to address
the President, which he did as follows ::
Mr.. President: 1t is with great
pleasure that in behalf Of the people
of this place, welcome you
and your distinguished compan;ons
to the Indian Territory. Never
before has our Territory been honored
by a visit from President of the
United States. In the Indian parlance
you are called the Great Father, bu.
we of the Cherokee nation, who, for
more than generation] have renounced
the manners and customs of savage life
and adopted in their stead the princi-
pies of your civilization, delight to ad-
dress you by that title, so simple yet so
grand, by which you are known and
honored throughout the civilized world.
Mr.. President-You have crossed the
threshold of the Indian Territory, to
country larger in area than the six
New England States, and unsurpassed
in national wealth by any section of the
country of equal extent. In your jour-
ney to-day you will pass for 24o miles
through portions Of the four principal
civilized Indian nations-the Cherokees,
Greeks, Choctaws and Chickasaws,
numbering in the aggregate some $4,000
souls, of whom about 10000 are negroes
and whites.
Whatever differences Of opinion there
may be among the Indians of this Ter
ritory respecting questions of public
policy concerning item, I am sure all
unite in the conviction that you, Mr..
President, are the true and steadfast
friend Of the Indians and will exercise
your great influence on all suitable oc.
casions to protect our interests and en-.
courage and sustain our efforts to se-
cure all the rights and privileges to
which our advanced civilization entities
us. The recommendations you
have made to Congress in your annual
messages with regard to this Territory,
l believe are cordially endorsed by a
large portion Of the intelligent part Of
our people.
Wishing youa a safe and pleasant Jour-
ney and trusting you will see evidences
Of that high degree Of enlightenment
the Indians of the nation claim to pos
sess, again bid you welcome.
Three hearty cheers were then given
70 the President, when he replied as
follows
1t affords me great pleasure to visit
your beautiful country, country which
l have never seen before, though have
been far on all sides of it. It is rich
in soil and of surpass-
ing beauty. Without saying
anything at this time about the policy
which think should be adopted with
regard to this Territory, I will say that
l am pleased with the evidences Of ad-
vancement among you and hope you
will be encouraged in cultivating the
soil of such a magnificent country.

ship with the firm of J. r. Smith & Son, under
the name and style Of Smith, Clark C Sons,

ness on large and improved scale, and will be
prepared to suit the wants of all those who

A Pic Mic was given at Cunningham's Mills,

between four and five hundred persons, was
addressed by the following gentlemen Messrs.
E. B. Murray, James L. Orr, John B. Moore,
Marion Mitchell, 3. F. Crayton and O. Gels

livcred, and were listened to with the greatest
attention by the audience. After the speaking
was over, the ladies present arranged the din
ner, and upon it being announced, all parties
came forward and partook of the bountiful
supplies. All present enjoyed the pleasures of
the occasion, and late in the afternoon re-
paired to their homes

matter, for they were melted to this mad course
by the inccndiary speeches Of few politicians
and militia captains who in their harangues,
made use of bitter and vindctivc language
towards the whites. Chief amoug tho instlga
tors of the riot was one Harrison Bowie, 81
colored militia captain, who was arrested on
the train by the Gcorgians, and whose life was
with difficulty saved.
The whites at the Ridge acted with prudence
during the disturbance, only arming them
selves for self.prcscrvation. Where were the
Trial Justices Of Edgelield County, that they
did not issue warrants, and have the leaders OF
this riot arrested? II this had been done at
once, everything would have subsidized, and
quiet and order soon restored. We earnestly
hope that immediate action will be taken, to
put stop to these incendiary speeches, which
only stir up strife, and arc likely to overthrow
every principle of morals, of peace, and of har-
mony, in the State.

The RIDGE Spring Difficulty.

It seems from the correspondence Of the Au-
rusta Chronicle & Sentinel, that the difficulty
which recently occurred at Ridge Spring, in
Edgefeld County, originated in the following
way On the night of the 18th of August, the
negroes in the vicinity Of Ridge Spring armed
themselves, and collected in bands using vio-
lent aid insulting language towards the whites,
even threatening their lives and property. The
whites being very inferior in numbers, made no
effort to stop these warlike demonstrations, but
quietly submitted to the situation, and permit
ted these armed bands to riot through the night,
hoping that the assistance which had been
summoned would soon reach them. The ne
groes before they left promised to rctura On
the ensuing night, and "whip out' the whites
These demonstrations together with the threats
used, naturally caused the white people to arm
themselves, and collect together for .hc purpose
of defense, in case of an attack. They also
sent kilograms to Augusta, Ga, for arms and
ammunition, in order to be better prepared.
Upon the arrival of the kilograms in Augusta,
considerable excitement WAS manifested, and
numbers at once offered themselves as voun-
teers, to aid their brethren on the opposite side
of the river. The volunteers from Augusta left
on the evening train, and arrived at the Ridges
ou]v to find collection of about two hundred
white men, fully armed and equipped, and
ready to protect their lives and property
About the same number was collected at Bates
Vile. Scouts were sent out in various direc-
tons, to discover, if possible, the whereabouts
of the rioters, but with no effect.
At last accounts, the negroes were coming in
from the swarnps in squads, and delivering up
their arms. All is now qniet. The negroes
are not much to blame in this unfortunate

Recently near Germantown, woman was
scooped up by the cow-caueher of locomotive.
The train could not be stopped until it had run
half a mile. The woman unhurt. When
the story of her escape was told to her husband,
he said sadly:
"WeIl, III be darned if wimmen amt hard to
kill. There was my finest Durham. He got on
the track, and the locomotive struck him, and
there wasn't enough left in him to supply anima-
ton to fly. And my horse ran away with the
gig, and the train came along, and hit him aud
it, and the horse was killed, and there wasn't a
apiece of the gig left big enough to make plug for
the spiggot-hoe of barrel. Now, that wife of
mine is no account and che escapes. It's always
the same. If You have two eggs in your hand,
and one is bad and the other good, and YOU let
them drop, it is invariably the good one that
breaks"
And he looked sad, and turned his chew of to-
bacco in his mouth, and cogitated on the strange
Inconsistencies of accidents.

lady told me that it was good way to wash

rust with which we have to deal in cleaning new
