From s. p. Chase, chief Justice of U. s. Su-

No one probably has had equal opportunities
with yourself of listening to the narratives of
fugitive slaves. No one will repeat them more
truthfully, and no stories can be more fraught
with interest than theirs.

From Horace greeley:
For most of the years have lived, the escape
of fugitives from slavery, and their efforts to
battle the human and other bloodhounds who
tracked them formed the romance of American

incidents except on irresistible testimony. |

The South Carolina SandhiIIers.

AS we were passing through the
region of the Sandhillers, said:
"The Sandhillers, Gen. Kershaw-
what tribe of people are they?"
"The Sandhillers are the queerest
people we have, and, though poor, not
uninteresting. They live in this belt
OF country contiguous to Columbia,
where the soil is pretty much bare sand,
uninviting to the eye, and scrubbily
timbered with pine and small oak.
Their little plank cottages, almost black
with exposure to the sun; their small
figures, almost stunted, it would seem,
but capable of great fatigue; their
dwarf cattle, and docile character,
make them sort of independent peas
antry, not unlike what is found in old
parts OF the North of Europe. It has
even been guessed that they were of
Icelandic or Norwegian descent, emf.
grated anterior to the historic period
of Carolina. Their straight black hair,
nearly oblique eyes, of an almond
shape, and unambitious home habits.
remind us of nothing else."
" Were they generally friendly to the
Confederate cause? 2"
"Always. The Sandhillers made some
of the very best soldiers in the Con-
federacy. They were easily disciplined,
obedient beyond any other soldiery,
could not be worn out by marching,
and they were the first to plumber the

Terrible Fate of the Gormain Family.
from GeOrsia-A Man, Ills Wife and
Three Children Killed and Mutilated-
Four Girls Carried Into Captivity
Rescue of Two of Them
Some two or three months ago statement
was published in the papers that the bodies
OF four white persons and the charred wreck
OF an emigraut wagon had been found on the
Smoky Hill, 10 miles from Sheridan Station.
on the Kansas Pacific railway The bodies
were horribly mutilated, and the only thing
left to Identity the family was small Bible,
upon the fy-leaf of which was
written Gormain, Blue Ridge, Ca" At
first the story was not believed but subse-
quently such corroborative evidence was fur
nlshed as to leave no doubt that portion of
the family had been foully butchered, and the
female members carried into captivity. Two
OF the latter-'young girls-have since been
rescued. sergeant of the Fifth Infantry,
VINO was With detachment of troops which
erected tAe rescue, has arrived at Leaven-
worth. and furnishes the particulars
OF the revolving massacre of the
family, and the hardships borne by
the captlves. He obtained his version of the
butchery from the elder girl of the two cap

father and mother, one son grown, five daugh-
tiers, and an infant-were surprised by band
OF Indians while encamped on the Smoky
Hill. The father, mother, son and the Oldest
daughter-an invalid-were horribly butchered
and scalped before the eyes of the younger
girls. The four other girls and the infant
were placed on ponies, and forced to endure
every hardship of travel known. The saw
ages, finding the infant a burden, Drained
it with tomahawk, and then continued
their flight southwark with the girls. Ada
and lpcy Gormain-the former aged TO-
| and ths latter 19-were compelled, in the most
brutal and shameful manner, to submit to the
lustful embraces of the savage devils. These
two glrls are yet prisoners, held by Gray

warriors although there is hardly doubt OF
| their recapture, as the troops are closing in on
the war party, and, being mounted ON fresh
horses, will certainly overtake the savages,
whose ponies are run down, and hardly fit for
active warfare. The recaptured girls are aged
respectively and years. The younger bore
| the hardships of captivity much better than
her sister. The elder would not have lived
more than week longer under the savage
treatment. Both were almost naked, en-
aclated, and at the time of their rescue, pre-
sented o spectacle of human wretchedness

history of savage barbarian.
The soldiers of the rescuing detachment

| NAKED children from their own clothing, and,
IN every other way possible, ministered to the
comfort OF the sufferers. The Younger girl
does not seem to realize the terrible fate of
