FINE WRETING-THREE SEN
FENCES.

The rich and racy writer of the
Elizabethton REPUBLICAN is a mas
ter OF pure English. AS speci-
men Of tcrsely put and closely
packed short sentences, we clip this
from recent issue. Speaking Of
the nomination of Hon. r. r. But>
Ter he says"
He has labored most faithfully to
gather a good collection of the rare
flowers that bloom all over the wide
field of JuIisprudence,a and he now en-
joys the pleasure of displaying them in
all their beauty aud rich luxuriance,
whenever he enters the temple of JUS
tic to confront his legal antagonists
and engage with them in those great
legal conflicts of mind with mind,
which always serve to designate and
distinguish those whose intellectual
superiority, eminently qualities them
for participating in the affairs which
are sought to be adjusted in that proud
arena, where genius alone can make
any positive and lasting impression
upon the minds of admiring specta-
tors"
After breathing spell the reader
can take a running 90 and encoun-
ter the following as sample of
short sentence.
Butler may expect to encounter the
severest opposition from his slanderers
and vile traducers in his approaching
contest, butIheir Insignificant missiles
will fall harmlessly at his feet, as they
have always done before, and he will
rise with Antean activity and vigor,
in the estimation of his friends and
bid defiance to his mean and infamous
villifers, as proudly as the eagle when
on tireless wings it cleaves the blue
ethereal vault of Heaven, far above
the lofty summit of the cloud capped
Andes"
Now if the reader will spit in
hands, though this is scarcely a
Democratic practice, he can wet
his lips with mountain dew and try
his powers of deglution upon this
one,which shall close our quotations
from that brilliant journal.

retinue of his slanderers in the ranks
of the rebel-demoracy may open their

stand like tall and grand old noun,

THE TERRIBLE INDIAN
BATTLE.
THE

The news from the Indian war
on the Yellowstone is Of the
most exciting character. Gen.
Custer, his two brothers, nephew,
and brother-in-law, together with
five companies consisting of two
hundred and forty men have been
killed. While Gen. Sheridan, who
commands the forces operating
against the Sioux, was enjoying
the huzzas and lager beer of the
Centennial, his subordinates, Terry,
Crook, and Gibbons, have met
with terrible defeats in the "bad
lands" that lie far West of the
Black Hills. These three were
ordered to proceed by separate
columns SO as to surround Sitting
Bull and "teach the savages les

he has achieved wonderful and very
bloody victories. On the 18th OF
June he met Crook on the Rose
bud fork of the Yellowstone and
defeated him, forcing him to retreat.
He then returned to his immense
village on the Little Big Horn,
where he awaited Gibbons and
Ferry in their effort to cut their
way to each other in tie midst OF
the village after the manner Of
Won Moltke. Terry ordered Gus
ter to lead his column up the Big
Horn where he was to communi-
cate with Gibbons. He had twelve
companies with which he reached
the heights opposite the village OF
Sitting Bull, which was on the left
bank of Little Big Horn. Custer
evidently moderated the strength
Of the savage army which must
have numbered 1900 ard was
splendidly armed. Ordering Col
Reno to take seven companies
across the river and attack the vii,
lage at the upper end, Custer took
five companies and attempted to
cross below and by attacking 81
simultaneously in the rear to pre-
vent the escape of Setting Bull
The dusky warrior seems to have
known what he was doing and
meeting Rono's men at once sur
rounded them and under a muir
derous fire drove them back across
the river. Their ponies were too
fleet for Rcno's clumsy horses and
riding up beside our soldiers they
shot them down. The rout of Reno

fought Reno until dark. At day
light they renewed the attack and
would have destroyed the remains

timely arrival of Gibbons when the

in favor of Hayes and Wheeler, in which he says
"The man, his character, his views of public pol

4 JUNE J1TNT,

WATERvILLE, July l, 1876.
June has ended, and so must our jaunt. We
left the Forks on the morning of the 29th. None
of our party Of six were sorry to bid farewell to
the black flies, and none Of us escaped without
wounds from our experience of the preceding at
ternoon, when we were so incautious as to expose
ourselves to their attacks.
The beauty of the scenery lost nothing by a
second view. One never discovers all the charms
of landscape the first time behodng it. a va
riegated country especially discloses new attrac-
tons on revisiting it, We had fine day, warm,
but breezy, for our return down the river. A few
miles below the Forks, is small, new looking
village called Caratunk The name was stolen from
Caratunk Falls, more than twenty miles below
and the thief ought to be punished, as it tends to
confusion. Next, our road lay through Moscow,
and although the name is suggestive of Russian
frosts, furs and ice palaces, the atmosphere seemed
to be balmy and summerlike all the way along
We passed the cliff of slaty, broken rock where
some % years ago, gold is said to have been dis
covered, it was in such infintesimal quaint

Two yawning chasms were visible on the face OF

we enjoyed extensive view of the delightful
surrounding country.
Crossing the Kennebec at this point, We jour
neyed. down the river through the pleasant agrcul-
tural towns Of Concord and Embden. We had a
distant view of the fine village of Salem, situated
on elevated ground on the opposite side of the
river. The henncbec and its diversified marg
OF cultivated fields and scattered forests added TO
the agreeableness of the ride We passed a sec
