ted the command through the diff
cultics which seemed insurmountable
SO successfully. On the morning of
June %, for The first time, Custer was
given a command, ond those who
know him DO not wonder that he
tried to make most Of it, and hazard
ed all in the attempt to conquer the
Sioux without assistance.
On Thursday next, six companies
Of the 22d Regiment, two companies
of the 5th Infantry and 100 recruits
for the 9TH Cavalry will leave here
under Colonel Otis, of the 22d Regi-
mcnt, TO reinforce General Terry. So
far, no troops have gone to his assist
ancc. -Four companies which were
under his immediate command were
promptly in motion, and have been
cncampcd here for several days. Un-
fortunately, Colonel Smith, General
Tcrry's Adjutant GcncG,l, left Fort
Lincoln to return TO the scene Of
operations the day before Colonel
Otis arrived. As result, the Colo
ncl's command, which is largely COM
posed Of old Indian fighters, is chaf.
ing under delay. However, every
thing is being put i'll order, and as
soon as the balance Of thc force ar
rivcs, Colonel Otis will advance.

Horse Racing and Church Going
en- the Sabbath.

Edifor O'angcbmy Ncws and Times:
a short time ago saw q horse race
i'll tho streets Of Orangcburg On the
Sal bath Day. I was sorry TO sec it
Tor it showed q rccklcssncss and con
tempt for public opinion not usually
exhibited i'll this town. The State
law prohibits this practice OH the
Sabbath, and l hope our Town Coun-
Gil will nj once enact an ordinance to
prevent it, if there is none on record.
This violation Of Tic Sabbath leads
rsturnlly 10 the reflection that the
attcrdcncc upon the services Of our
churches is lamcntably small. A
dark c'oud or slight sprinkle, which
during the week would not keep
lady from shopping for q spool Of
dread, affords a sufficient (?) reason
IL keep many idlcat home OH Sunday.
Some of Our people never attend
church, and I earnestly invite their
attention, and the attention even Of
rhnrch. members, 10 the following
fcasons Why they should attend the
services Of Gods house every Sabbath
God says: "Bring nh Offering and
conc unto his courts; 0 worship the
Lord in the beauty Of tho holiness"
Are you the head of q family !?
Apd 40 you regard your influence on
them? Be iaitbful in this duty.
Selfrcspect, nogard for your own
character i'll The estimation Of all
vlrtuons and christian men, should
lead you to practice this duty.
Habits Of chnreh.going are strong
and s,Intory bound on ciyil society,
which You should promote.

Editor OrunycJny Ncws and Times
In n communication published in
your columns OH tho 18th inst,
allusion is made 10 The formation of
rifle clubs as indicating hostile
attitude OIL tho part Of the white
people towards the colorcd people.
deem il proper TO say that thc impu-
tation, SO far as tho "Edisto Rifle
Club" Of this place is concerned, is
unjust. Had the author Of the com
munication referred to been a resident
OF Olangcburg long enough to know
anything Of lis history, he would not
lave been so grievously mistaken in
relation to certain facts, which arc
familiar to all classes Of our own
PEOPLE, whether white or colored.
viii state Il few Of them.
Several years ago, there we're at
least two military organizations
among the colored PEOPLE of this
county, one at Ornngcburg, and ono
at l-oMisvillc. The company at
oranGcburg paradcd through the
streets on several occasions with full
equipments; but I am not aware that
any disturbance arose from this eek
hihition Of arms.''
AS far us the Edisto Rife Club is
concerned, it wns organized and its
arms purchased over year ago, when
there was no issue of any kind,
political or Other wise, of nature
calculated to disturb thcpublic peace.
Under the impulse of the military
spirit cngendcred by the various cen.
tennial celebrations, it has been
stimulated into mere active existence
than heretofore; and, I am happy to
say, is rapidly approaching condi-
ton Of Efficiency, equal to that of It's
numerous eieter clubs in the metroro-
lis and the capital. It has been
formed with no view cf "brandishing
arms i'll the faces" of anybody; it is
composed from among the best Of our
people, and has on its rolls the most
substantial and prudent of our
CITIZENS, who endorse its objects, all of
which are lawful.
In conclusion, | am willing to be-
lieve that your correspondent erred
not designcdly but simply because his
abort residence in our community rem
ders him liable to mistake, ms to its
hlstery, tone and sentiments.
Respectfully yours,
SAMUEL D1BBLE.

At the boarding house where

At the boarding house where
Augustus lived there lived also two
youths of his age and sex, who were
ms full of mischief MS caucus is Of
seekers for Office. So Papa Jones
went to them and untoldcd his plans
and offered them SO apiece to bring
it to n successful end. Within week
they had the money and this is the
way they earned it:
Augustine was to call OH his Mary
June that evening, so of course he
put OH his best clothes for the occu-
sion. Half an hour before he went
to his room to dress, his friends went
there and took his best coat from the
wardrobe. They ripped open the lin
ing between the shoulders and put
inside couple of very thin slices Of
Limbu:gcr cheese. You know what
that is if you have any familiarity
with German beer halls.
Augustus dressed and started for
old Jones house. lie changed his
scat two or three times in tho street
car, and when lie reached the door
step lie turned again and again, like
u dog about to lie down; but t. was 10
use.
IIc usually occupied scat on the
sofa 4! Mary james side; but that
evening she was inclined to dignity,
and occupied an arm chair couple
Of yards away She went out twice
to dip her handkerchief in cologne,
and the second time she brought the
bottle and offered Augustus some.
After he had gone home and
changed his clothes, one Of the boys
took him out TO walk while the other
restored the coat to lis former condi-
ton.
But when three evenings later,
Augustus again visited Mary Jane,
the trick was repeated. Old Jones
had taken the trouble to hide the
cologne, SO that the offence Of the
Limburgor could not be condoncd.
The maiden stood it for half m hour,
then size tainted and called the old
folks. She was borne to her room,
and Augustus sent home. Next
morning he received n highly per-
fumcd note, which told him that for
the future they had better be friends
only, and the next time she met him
she hoped it would be in the open
air, and she would try to keep to
windward.

Indian Affairs.
New York, JULY 1S.

New York, July 1s.
A Bismarck, Dakota, despatch, of
July II, says: Sherman aud Sheridan
certainly underestimate the strength
Of the hostile Indians. Sitting Bulls
band, before it was joined by Crazy
Horse, numbered 1900 lodges over
5000 effective fighting force; and
Crazy Horse has proven himself
strong enough to defeat Crook in
every engagement withou. the aid of
Sitting Bull. Colonel Burke, agent
at Standing Rock, who certainly is
well informed and not disposed to cx-
aggcratc their strength, estimates the
fighting force of the Sioux at 10, 900;
and it should be remembered that
women and children are not clements
Of weakness, for every nine year old
boy will handle gun, stone, mallct
or bow to better advantage than
majority of recruits handle their
mnskets. The squaws do camp druid
gerry, and are ready for battle, if their
services are needed. Sitting Bulls
Unipnpas lost $50 and the other
bands nearly as many in Clusters
fight. The Rccs at Fort Lincoln
monrned several days over Clusters
death, cutting themselves with knives
and exhibiting genuine sorrow III
other ways peculiar to Indians. One
refused to mourn, and in the widest
manner called on Clusters spirit to
drive the Sioux from the land, and
insisted that his brave band would do
it. The fact that Custer, ,hough with
the expedition, and NORMALLY in
command of his regiment, hnd no
command whatever until after kcno's
return from his fruitlcss scout ofthc
goth, has not been made public. His
regiment was divided into two wings
tile right under Reno and the left
under Benton; while Custer was left
to wabble where lie would, without
responsibility and without command.
Much Of his time was spent with his
brothers and n few trusty men, hunt
ing and scouting on his own account.
Generally he was with the advance,
but not in command Of it. Two or
three times he was called upon TO find
passes. through bad lands or noun.

Love and Limburger.
THE DISTRESSING HOAX TO WHICH A
SWAIN MAS SUBJECTED.

Some months ago youth Of This
city on Sixth street, took fancy TO a
maiden fair, and began to be polite to
her. He met her when lie could at
parties and that sort Of thing, and
occasionally lie called to see her
at her home. She liked the young
man, and smiled swcctly when his
name was mentioned. His WAS
Augustus and sho was Mary Jane.
Augustus WAS not worth 4 cent finan-
cially, but lie had capital Of hope
that surpassed the treasure Of saw
ings bank.
Mary Jane had IL father whose
name was Jones. IIc didn't fancy
Augustus, and didn't like to have
him spooning around Mary Janc.
But he was a shrewd and sensible old
duiier,. and he knew if lie raised his
voice i'll opposition that Mary James
liking would be strengthened into
regular rcd[hot, diamond pin, flat.
footed love. So he kept still aud
pondercd, and then lie hit upon IL
plan to smash the courtship OF
Augustus into smithcrccRs,

BY neglecting public worship, you
