1t. Chance 1t contains much matter in ref
erence to the discovery of gold in the Black
Hills. Specimens of gold have been exhibit
ed and claimed to have been found there,
which would delight the eyes Of the most sue
cessful California miner. As a consequence,
Chris. ellison, one Of the frontiersmen-a kind
of Daniel Boone, is forming company to go
and explore that region, and about the 20th
of the present month, ten companies of the
7th Cavalry under the command of Gen. Gus
ter, two sections Of artillery under the COM
mand of 1t. Chance, accompanied by 1t.
Col. Fred Grant and Gen. Forseythe of Gen.
Sheridan's staff, Col. Ludlow, and several
practical miners will leave Ft. A. Lincoln for
the same region. Their mission is peaceful
one. They go to explore the country, corps
of observation, and viii not interfere with the
Indians unless attacked by them. The expe-
dition viii not be attended by expense to the
Government, as the men and horses will re-
quire fewer supplies while on the march than
in camp.
The discoveries which will surely be made
by this expedition viii be of immense value
to the people of that country.

Temperance Reform.

FRYEBURG, Aug. II, 1874.
To the Editor Of the Press:
Now and then an item has appeared in the
papers, mentioning that o temperance reform
was taking strong hold of the people in this
section. wish to be allowed little space in
your columns, for the purpose of informing the
public of the magnitude of this movement.
The first meeting was held at Fryeburg two
weeks ago. Francis Murphy, the President of
the State Reform Club Association, delivered
one of his most effective addresses 1t has been
my fortune to listen to many of the distin-
guished temperance orators, but l have never
listened to a man who has such power over the
heart as Mr.. Murphy. L will say here that
there is not a beer shop or place where liquors
are sold in this town. At the meeting, many
of the worst drinkers took the pledge, and Or
ganized reform club, and appointed meetings
in other parts of the town and in Conway.
1t would be impossible to describe the en-
thusasm of these meetings. AS soon as Mr..
Murphy closed his address and the pledge was
offered, personal appeals would be made by
the reformed men, who, seeking. out their for
mer companions, urged them with Christian
zeal to go with them. Women, and even chill
dren would take hold in this missionary way
of prevailing on those they most loved to join
hands with them. Whole audiences almost
would come forward and take the pledge Two
large meetings have been held at Fryeburg
town house. &drs. George Frye and Miss
Lizzie Chandler made very earnest aud effec-
tual appeals to the assembly. Last evening
Mr.. Murphy spoke at Brownfeld. Some sixty
took the pledge, and many of them men of
such character and position as to put the doubt
ming a meeting will be held at Denmark
Wednesday at Conway. propose to give yon
little notice of these meetings as they occur
The crusade is but fairly under way, but if
rest assured that it will equal in its grand
result, the movement in any portion of the
country. E

EX-cADET SMITH AND THE BOARD OF VISITORS.
The recent attacks of the colored ex-cadet
Smith upon the Board of Visitors at West
Point have attracted the attention of the Off
GERS of the War Department. They say that
the Secretary of War was extremely liberal in
his Interpretation of the regulations on behalf
of Cadet Smith, and that he did for him what
has never been done for a white boy in like cir
cumstances. The officers also say that Smith
was manifestly incompetent, that he had fail
examination, and that the Congressional Board
of Visitors unanimously testified to his incom-
potency.
THE UNEXPENDED BALANCE ACT.
Congressman Beck, of Kentucky, who is al.
ways very jealous in his attacks upon the adj
mnistration, made it his special purpose last
winter, in hopes of making political capital, to
attempt to change the immemorial system in
regard to unexpended balances His attempt
was successful, and the law went into effect on
July /. The result shows that the act causes
Mr.. Beck's own constituents more inconven
fence than the people of almost auy other por
ton of the country. Letters are being daily re-
ceived by the Treasury officials and the attor
neys of these people here, urging the payment
of honest claims; bnt as these claims were moi
adjusted before the close of the fiscal year, ant
as Mr.. Beck's law has been vigorously enforced
| the Southern claimants upon the Treasury will
| be obliged to wait nearly a year and half
without interest, for the money which, but fol-
| this unexpended balance law, might now be
paid them.

Thousands of travellers by land and sea have
vouched for the efficacy of Hosteter's Stomach Bit
tiers as preventive of the physical disturbances
which ordinarily arise from change of climate and
the changes of diet, water, &C., incident to wan
dering life Upon systems toned, invigorated and
regulated ty this genial vegetable antidote the ex-
terna causes of debility and disease to produce
little or no effect. Forearmed with Hostetter's Bit
tiers. the voyager may bid defiance to sea sickness
and encounter the chilling fogs of the British Isles
the coast winds of the Antilles, the icy temperature
of northern Alaska the burning heat of the trop-
ics with equal impunity. The effect of this admira-
BILE indicated stimulant is greatly to increase the
vital energy of the SYSTEM thereby enabling it to
slst and repel the exciting causes Of disease.

The Mississippi Trouble.

For the present, at least, the troubles be-
tween the whites and negroes at Austin,
Mississippi, are ended. Taking their own
story for it, the chivalry of the ''lost cause"
who seem anxious for war, have made
most ludicrous exhibition of themselves.
Memphis, a city Of 10000 people. was ex-
cited and flaming with grandloquent appeals
to enlist. Gen. Chalmers, cool by culture,
experienced in bloody fields, with small
army halts ere he reaches the town and sends
back for artillery and rations. Gen. King
White of Arkansas, who led the Baxter
forces in the late Arkansas war of governors,
by some means, was advertised to be present
at Austin. OF course, neither of these gen.
erals had lawful authority, and both, one
from Tennessee and the other from Arkan-
sas, were invading the sovereign state OF
Mississippi. These forces carefully advanced
on the town, surrounded it, charged on it,
captured it, taking thirty colored people
thIee-fourths of whom were non combatants.
We warn these hot-headed defenders of the
rights of white men that if they repeat this
piece Of tragedy many times, they will have
the nation laughing at them and styling
them soldiers of the Falstaf order.
We have only the story of the party in
this fight which owns the telegraph and news
papers. By that story the white men are en-
tirely at fault Austin is small town in
county in Mississippi, near the Arkansas and
Tennessee line. In the county there are
about twelve hundred voters, more than
three-fourths Of whom are negroes. The
trouble originated in quarrel between oneDr.
Smith and negro, il which, by the free use
of his revolver, colored girl was shot. The
negro is creature who initiates the vices as
well as the virtues of the superior race. He
had seen the superior race hang negroes for a
less offence than murder, and the illogical
creature deemed it was proper thing to do to
depend the doctor from the limb of tree.
The doctor and his friends were very much
alarmed at this attempt at violence, and be-
ing in a minority escaped for safety just as
the colored man has done on thousands of
occasions. They alarmed the whites in the
neighboring country. and this was followed
by the warlke movements which have been
heralded throughout the country.

A DISPATCH from Toby Candor to the Bos-
ton Journal announces that the two Kenne-
bee senators are Mr.. Hamlin's men. This
intelligence, if true, will surprise many, as it
has been generally understood that Mr.. Webb
was entirely uncommitted, and we have very
good reason indeed, for believing that Mr.
Mayhem is not Hamlin man unless, as is
charged, he has been very recently converted
by some potent Augusta influence. We fam
ey that these positive assumptions that men
are in Mr.. Hamlin's interest are to be taken
with some grains of salt.
