The Big Grapevine.

This famous vine, the largest in the world arrived in the Mo- Rong0 from Santa Barbara, last evening, boxed ready for ship ment to the Centennial Exhibi- tion at Philadelphia, according to the request of the Centennial Commissioners of the State. Its enormous proportions and un- equalled fruitage have long since made it celebrated. The body of the vine is over five feet in cir conference eight feet from the ground; at that height it branch es into twenty large limbs, one of which is 27 inches in circumfer- ence, the exact size of the body of the Queens famous vine at Hampton Court, England. The foliage of the vine covered at Santa Barbara, 10000 square feet. It bore six tons of grapes annual ly, and is from sixty to one hun dred years old. It's exhibition at the Centenniel will be of value to our State, by directing attention to the wonderful productiveness of our soil and climate. It will rank among the great curiosities of the Centennial.-AIt0.

The Indian Scare.

Under date of September 10th, the Sheriff and Commissioners of Lincoln county, Nevada, sent the following dispatch to Governor Bradley:
 To L. R. Bradley, Governor of Nevada; to whom it may concern: We, the undersigned, have, in &C., cOrdance with the request of A. c. Cleveland, Daniel Murphy and others, of White Pine county, made forced march from PiOche to the scene of the reported Indian war. We reached the vicinity of where the despatches stated that Indian depredations had been committed, but there were no hostile Indians there. There were none in the county, and has not been a single Indian on the war path in Eastern Nevada dur ing any of the time of this excite ment. The entire matter was fabrication, manufactured by Cleveland and other persons send ing and causing despatches to be forwarded to us. We denOunce the entire transaction as false, sOulless, wicked, contemptible, mercenary truck, cOncOcted by men who have so disgraced them selves as to be beneath our con- tempt. The country is in as peace able a condition as it ever was, and all reports of Indian hostili- ties are false in substance and in fact. There is not, and has not been, any danger from Indians along either road leading to PiO- che, nor in the surrounding val leys. We publish this that all may know the extent of the de- ception and fraud perpetrated by A. c. Cleveland and Daniel Mur- phy, and those guilty of aiding and abetting their plans to excite the people, and produce need less and unjustifiabIe war upon the Indians of Nevada.

 WASHINGTON, September 23.- The U. s. steamer RapAattGn, now at New York, will leave this week for Port Au Prince, Hayti, in accordance with 8 request of the State Department. During some troubles on the Island a short time ago, the American Minister there gave shelter to some of the parties, in conse~ quence of which their adversaries threatened the minister and the department deemed it expedient to have vessel for their protec- tion, if necessary.

 SAN FRANCISCO, September p. A new point of interest is about to be made in the journalistic war which has been going on here since the failure of the Bank of California. The AIt0 yesterday morning printed an editorial charg- ing the proprietors of the Balle- t6'e and CdW with having pursued the course they have followed dur ing and since the late panic, with the object of affecting the stock market and creating a financial panic. As consequence, the Bulletin and C0N proprietors, through their Attorney John F. Swift, are now preparing and in 9 few days will file complaints for libel against the AitG. It is ex- pee ted that owing to the intimate connections between this news paper fight and financial compii- cations, some very interesting developments will be made.

Several small set dement's, numbering a population of about 150 souls were swept out of existence, making with 25O lives lost at Indianola, a total loss of 400 lives. TIe stench from he dead bodies lying exposed in the devastated country is almost in- tolerable. Mexican marauders have been robbing the dead, chop ping their fingers, hands and ears offto obtain the jewelry they wore. A party of citizens killed five ot them who were caught in this devilish work.

THE Sdn Diego U1aion completed it's ninth volume in its issue of the 18th instant, and the editor gives a history of the journal from it's foundation to the present time. He seems satisfied with the past and hopeful for the future. And we'll he may. The Union, under its present editor and proprietor, has been a most excellent paper. It has worked most faithfully for the interests of San Diego and the southern coast generally. It has worked for the truth and the right, and for civilization and pro- gress. We wish the Union the most unbounded success. The editor closes his retrospect as fol- lows:
 We find satisfaction in looking back over the course which has been travelled and noting the suc- cessive steps of progress. Our faith in the future, never shaken, is made still brighter.
 "Know'st thou Yesterday, it's aim and reason?
 Work'st thou we'll To-day for worthy
 ends?
 Then calmly trust the Futures hidden season,
 Then calmly wait what fate soccer im-
 pends."
 Regarding what has been wrought in the past, and working with earnest purpose in the pre-. sent, we who stead fastly believe in the destiny of San Diego may look forward with cheerful con- fidence. The outlook as we en- ter upon the Tenth Volume Ot The Da5ly Union was never more | clear.

 CINCINNATI, September 23.- The IEneeS southern special says {: "Parties from the Indianola floods, who were there during the terri ble cyclone fully confirm even the most sensational reports of the destruction of life and property there. Out of three hundred houses only five are standing. During Thursday night the 18th inst. the storm was at its height. The water in the river raised feet in 2 hours, the wind blowing a gale and driving the water and breakers through the city, 15 miles inland in an hour, sweeping every thing in it's way and securing the plain in the rear of the city for

Sensible Talk.
From the Boston Advertiser.


 The extraordinary financial strength of the Pacific Coast has been abundantly proved in this crisis, and the opponents of the specie basis can obtain out of the events three arguments in SUD- port of their cause only by mIs- representing facts. Since the Spring months there has been an enormous drain upon the San Francisco money market. No less than nineteen million dollars in coin, shipped to the Eastern States, created a void that could be but slowly filled. Large additional sums had also been sent to the in- terior to "move the crops," and to make the scarcity still more terrible there was 8 lock up of gold by the operators adverse to the Bank of California. Such 8 drain would have staggered the strongest markets. It would have broken down the Boston banks if they could not obtain relief, and it would have crippled the banks of New York if it did not drive them all into suspension. It did no more than stagger the institu- tions of California, but already they have recovered their footing, and they will, we have TO doubt, show 10 the world @ firmness and steadiness that might do credit to the greatest money centres Of Europe.

ADVERTISE YOUR BUSINESS. = All real business men know the importance and value of adver. Using, and all intelligent pur- chasers will patronize the house that advertises it's business; for 1t is a well known fact that men who advertise are always the most li- beral in their dealing, and their goods are generally the best. Therefore advertise, both for your own business interest and to help to sustain your local paper, with out which your town would cut very poor figure.

 Fearful Loss of Life.
 NEW ORLEANS, September 21. The Galveston NeaUs has receiv- ed the following from Indianola i've are destitute. The town is gone. Dead bodies are strewn for twenty miles along the Bay. Nine tenths of the houses are destroy ed. Send us help for Gods sake. Signed, G. w. Cram, District At tOrney." The following has been received by business firms from their correspondents:
 ''On the 10th the wind came from the West and on Friday morning it increased to a gale. Water was waist-deep and every man, woman and child was seek ing place of safety. Screams of women and children could be heard in every direction. The water was six feet deep in the streets. About two o'clock Fri. day morning, the wind veered to the Northwest. Waves chopped. Houses were washed away or tumbled to pieces. Wind towards the morning came to a Hull, and the wind veered North. Then came hope until daylight began to break, bnSthen did we beheld the awful destruction around. and thanked God we had been saved. Our perilous condition was noth- ing compared with the suffering of our neighbors and citizens. Daylight revealed a scene that was terrible to behold. The town could not be recognized as Indian ola of the day previous. Total ruin existed everywhere. Neigh Dor met neighbor and they told their troubles and tribulations of the previous night. There is death and destruction all around US. Houses are crushed to the ground, and others swayed around leaning over. The wind is slow ly dying down aad the water dis appearing from places in the streets. Bodies of men, women and children are found in all di- rections. Organized search was made for missing people. How many have lost their lives in this fearful storm, it is impossible to learn. Up to this hour sixty or seventy bodies have been found and buried. Women were found and men also who had f1oated off on doors or anything they could get. miles away. Some beneath their roofs were carried away long distances. The escape of so many is almost miraculous. Search for bodies is still going on. The num- Der of human beings drowned will never be known, as there was a large number of strangers in the town. We estimate the number of lives lost at 150.

MERCANTILE MATTERS.
Important Change in Well-Known
 House.

QOuSG.
 In our issue of last Saturday we published the notice of the dis solution of the partnership here- tofore existing between Wm. B. Hooper, of San Francisco, and James M. Barney, of Arizona.
 At the time when we received the manuscript of that notice, our editorial columns were full, and we had not space to make the remarks that we desired to make upon the occasion. We now glad ly embrace the opportunity to ex- press what we feel, and what we think the people of Arizona feel about that lOng-established and most excellent house. The house of Wm. B. Hooper & Go. has'been one of the successful institutions on this Coast. And there is reason for this success. Major Wm. B. Hooper of San Francisco, and Col. James M. Barney of Yuma, Ari. zona, both gentlemen of the high est business qualifications, each at his end of the route, one buying and forwarding and the other re- ceiving and selling, and conduct ing all the ramifications of a large trade all over this great Territory, besides doing a very large com- mission business. But this is not all. These gentlemen possess qualities that always insure suc- cess when life is spared long enough to attain it. Indomitable energy, perseverance and persis- tency, the most unfagging and tireless application to all the de- tails of business, coupled with ths strictest honor, integrity and up- rightness in all their transactions, have brought honor and deserved wealth to this long established business firm.
 The news of the dissolution of this popular house will create a sensation all over Arizona, where the members of it are so we'll and so favorably known and respected. It seems like the breaking up of old ties, On retiring from busi- ness, Major Hooper carries with him the best wishes of thousands of men who know him for his worth as a true gentleman and an upright man, and may peace and happiness crown the remainder of his days.
 But the house does not go out of existence. Our old friend and the friend of Arizona, that well :. tried and whole-souled gentle man, Col. James M. Barney, re. mains with us, as sole owner of the whole concern, and we doubt Tot that with his gentlemanly at- taches, the business will be con- ducted with the same energy and the same correct principles that have always characterized the house. Col. Barney has been spending the Summer in CaIifor- mia, thus avoiding our heated term. We have missed him great ly, but we are glad that he took this relaxation from his very ar- duous business cares, for we ex- pect he will soon return re-invi. gorated and prepared to resume his old place among us.

Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1875-11-26
IEMPHIS APPEAL
FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 26,:1s75.
READ AND CONSIDER.

A communication which appeared IL
the last number OF the Bolivar Bulletin,
and which we publish to-day, should,
and will, attract the attention Of the
citizens Of Memphis. I;shows the dan
gsrs which threaten us on the east. 1t
IL now quite evident that the Memphis
and Knoxville road will be built from
Pulaski, in Giles county, to the Iennes-
see river Much OF this road between
Bolivar and the Tennessee river, dis
ance OF ffty-three miles, is already
graded, and 3 considerable amount OF
stock is subscribed between the Mobile
and Ohio road and the Tennessee river.
The writer of the communication IN
question urges upon the people Of Som
erville TO continue the road
TO Somervilla in order to Sc
cure for themselves an outlet
70 Nashville, Louisville, st. Louis,
and New Orleans, without being forced
to come through Memphis. II the
plan proposed in this communication
should be adopted, 1t would turn from
US q portion Of the trade OF Fsyette
county, which we now get. A road
which was projected to benefit. US would
thus become the means OF iDjuring us
materially. We think the writer is in
error in thinking the people Of Mem
phis do not wish the road, or are unwill-
ing to aid in its construction. They are
not so dull and stupid as not to know
that q road which will give them large
portion Of the trade OF such counties as
Fayette, HardemAn, NJ Marry, Madison,
Henderson, Decatur and Hardin
west Of the Tennessee river, and of
Wayne, Lawrence, Giles, Maury and
Lincoln east Of that river, must be
Of great benefit; nor are they
so DarsimOniOus as not to be
willing to sid in its construction. 1t ap.
pears, from an address now before us,
that the productions of these counties
amounted in one year to eighteen mil
lion Of dollars, and Memphis merchants,
business men, and property-owners, can
not be so blind as not to see Of what sd-
vantage road, running through such
country, would be worth to them. Let
energetic efforts be made, and we feel
assured that seventy-five thousand dol
lars can be obtained in Memphis and In
Shelby county to secure this road, with
all its advantages, to our city. We do
mt think Our friends in the counties east
OF us should become Indignant" until
they have some evidence that Memphis
refuses to join with the people Oh the |
other parts Of the line in building the /
road. Give her fair trial before con-
demning her. She will do heI duty.
