BISMARCK, D. T., Sept. Rich gold
discoveries have been made at Muscle
shell, about eight hundred miles by
river above Bismarck, near Carroll, and
Carol is now nearly deserted for the
mines, which are said to yield from one
to seven cents to the pan.
Copper discoveries have also been
made of very rich veins near Carol.
A party Of fifty mon will leave Bis
marck IN about thirty days ior the
Black Hills. The party will
be composed of experienced min
ers and hunters who not
only know the color of gold and the
habits of the Indians, but are sharp
enough to evade the military, and who.
once in the hills, can live as red men
live, and consequently will not
bother themselves with supplies
to any great extent. A few more men
are wanted to complete the party.
They will be gone until January, when
they expect to return and report.
A discharged soldier asked for bitters
at the Baily House last night and
a bungllng waiter gave him dose of
corrosive sublimate, which had been
carelessly set behind the bar. The
victim is not dead yet, but is pretty
sick.
A party of Sioux came up to Fort
Lincoln last night from Fort Rice and
joined the Rees employed at Lincoln
and who are bitter enemies to them in
grand pow-wow. They want
ed to bury the hatchet
and professed the warmcst friendship.
but the Rees take but little stock in
them and will not trust them unless
preparedto fight at moments notice.

The Storm on Thursday.

The storm on Thursday last seems
to have been the severest known lor
years, and did very great damage to
dwellings, fences, and timbers, in
many sections of our County.
In Edcefield County near the Able
Vile line, the storm was especially Sc
we're, blowing down the houses OF Ihos;
D. Chamberlain, Jas. Thompkins ana
others, together with trees and tencihS.
Searls' Bridge across Little River lost
one arch and two sleepers, which Were
carried away by the flood. The rain III
the vicinity was the heaviest ever
known-crceks higher than ever known
before, fences carried away, and crops
exposed to the mercics OF the rowing
stock. Some planters cannot repair
their damages in two weeks,
Mr.. Catlett Corley, with all his hands,
took four days to rebuild his fences,
and repair injuries.
The bridge at Mr.. Charles Freeman's,

The Financial Problem.

The question of the currency has
been the most important which has
engaged the attention of Congress
during the present session, and the
South and West have earnestly de-
.manded more money, either by a
redistribution of the existing cir
culation, or by an enlargement of
the volume of the currency. New
York and New England have about
$1O0,Oo0,000 more than they are
entitled toin fair and equal dis
tribution Of the currency, and the
consequence is, that whilst money
commands here from one to five
per cent. per month, the interest
there is only some six or seven per
cent. per annum. Various remedies
have been suggestcd-free banking,
which has met with but little favor
either from capitalists or working
men-a redistribution of the cur
rency as urged by Senators Thur
man and Feuton, by which:itis pro-
posedt give some S75,00o,o0o of
the existing currency to the South
and West-or third plan, adHo-
Gated by Senator Merrimon, of
North Carolina, which enlarges the
legal tender and national circula-
ton each to 100000, and pro-
vides for its proper distribution.
This will ada $100OOO,O00 to the
currency of the country, and
though opposed by the leading
statesmen and journalists of the
East, hes been earnestly sustain ed
by those of the South and West as
demanded by the necessities of
those sections. Moneyis very much
needed at the South to build up its
agricultural and manufacturing in
terests, and We have no doubt that
its far-seeing statesmen have formed
a proper conception of its necessi-
ties. We are at least entitled to a
proper share of the currency of the
country, and it will be our own
fault if we fail to retain it when so
bestowed.
