The Davenport Qll.) Democrat relates the
following: Howe's circus was showing at
Indianola when the storm of the Fourth
came on, and because of injury to tbe rail-
roads was compelled TO remain there until
the trek was temporarily repaired, Friday
evening. Then the circus started fer their
next place ofexhibition. When about eight
miles out one corner of bridge gave way,
and three cars containing animals ran of
The track aud turned over into the mud,
very gently. The first ear contained horses,
the secoDd an elk and camel the other
three the five elephants. The small ami
mails were easily liberated, but the ele-
plants were all in heap. To remove them
the car was cut away, exposing the tops of
the unwieldy animals backs. Then was
exhibited the intelligence which marks
these half-human brutes. They obeyed
every command ofthe keeper, crawling on
their knees turning on their sides, squirm-
ing like eels, and assuming more wonder
ful and novel positions than were de-
scribed on the show bills. When released
from their perilous position there was not
scratch upon them, and no schoolboy ev-
er gave more emphatic expression of relief
from confinement than did those elephants.
They trumpeted, swayed back and forth,
and did everything but talk. The remain
ing distance 10 the city was made overland,
and a happier crew never started on
march than were those animals. The cool,
breezy atmosphere and the bright moon
light were all-inspiring. AS the bridges
were gone, at each stream the elephants
took fresh enjoyment of their liberty. At
no time were they obstinate or disobedient,
but seemed to fully realize the situation.
On arriving at Des Moines railway cars
had to be procured, which was not easily
done, as ordinary cars are too low. Some
were finally found which were about one
inch higher than the tallest elephants
back. They were brought alongside and
the platform properly placed when Jack
noticed that it was strange car, seized the
door-f frame with his trunk, gave il vigor-
Gus shake and then tried the floor. Salts
fed that it was strong, he marched slowly
in the car, placed himself leng gthwise, gave
a rocking motion and bumped his back. A
bolt overhead hit his back, and he march
cd straight out of the car. "Its no use,"
said the keeper, she won't so back there
again." The ribs which support the roof
were removed, the elephants closely watch
ing the operation. When this was done
Jack went in, swayed himself, rocked the
car, bumped his back, found everything all
right, trumpeted his satisfaction and went
to eating,

the fire. At about o'clock p NJ, this
picket fired four shots in the uir at regular
intervals from each other, which inter-
preled as a signal of some kind. Soon af-
ter this fire we heard the powerful voice of
a savage crying out, making the same
sound four times, and after those two sig
nails we saw 200 or more sdvages leave the
bluffs and ford the river, evidently leaving
the ground. About one hour after the
same double signals were again repeated,
and many mounted Indians loft at a gallop.
Soon the remainder of those left on the
bluffs also retired.
Hope now revived, tho musketry rattle
ceased and only now and then wo could
hear a far of shot. BY 6 o'clock every
thing arouud us was apparently quiet, and
no evidence or sign of any Indians were
near us. OF course during the SO hours that
we were in suspense we had neither water
nor food at 10 o'clock p. NJ, we dropped
ourselves into the river, the water reaching
our waists, crossed il twice and then care
fully crawled up the bluffs and finally
reached the broken high country, took our
direction and slowly and cautiously pro-
ceeded southward.
After marching two miles l thought 1
would go up very high hill 10 look around
and see if we could discover any signs of
our command, and looking around 1 saw
fire on my left, and in the direction where
we supposed the command was fighting dur
ing the day, probably two miles from us. or
course we made two conjectures on the fire
1T might be an Indian fire and it might be
from our command. The only way TO as
certain was 10 approach it cautiously and
trust 10 chance. Accordingly we descend
ed the hill, took the direction of the fire,
climbing another and another hill we lis
tened awhile and then proceeded on for a
mile or more, when on the top of hill we
again stopped and listened.
We were about 200 yards from the fire,
and I resolved 10 call out to the picket and
tell him who 1 was. told my companion
TO be ready TO follow after me, and when 1
had well surveyed the ground 1 cried out
"Plcket, don't fire; 1t is Lieutenant De
Rudio and Private O'Neill," and started 10
run, We received an answer in loud
cheer from all the members of the picket
and Lieutenant Varnum. This officer, one
of the bravest and most efficient. came at
once 10 me and was very happy TO see me
again, after having counted mo among the
dead, and his joy affected me so much that
1 entirely forgot the adventures oil the SO
hours just past, and was happy TO be once
more in the company of my brave COM
rades.

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, July PC.
DEAR SIR:-I am in receipt of your let
ter of the 22d ofJuly and all enclosures emu
merated therein, giving an account Of tho
late barbarous massacre of innocent men at
the town of Hamburg, s. C. The views
which you express as to the duty you owe
TO your oath of Office and TO the citizens TO
secure 10 all their civil rights, including the
right TO vote according TO the dictates Of
thoir own conscienees, and the further du-
ty of the executive OF the nation TO rive all
needfnl aid, when properly called on TO do
so, TO enable you 10 insure this inalienablo
right, l fully concur in. The scene al
Hamburg, as cruel, bloodthlrsty, wanlon,
unprovoked, and as uncalled for as il was.
is only repetition of the course that has
been pursued in other Southern States
within the last few years, notably 10 Mis-.
sissippi and Louisiana. Mississippi is gov
erned to-day by officials chosen through
fraud and violence, such as would scarcely
be accredited TO savages, much less TO civil
lized and Christian people. How long these
things are 10 continue, or what is to he tho
final remedy, the great Ruler of the uni
verse only knows; but have an abiding
faith that the remedy will come, and speed
lily, and 1 earnestly hope it will come peace
ably.
There has never been a desire on the
part Of the North TO humllate the South.
Nothing is claimed for one State that is not
freely accorded 10 others, unless il may be
the right to kill negroes and Republicans
without fear ofpunshmenta aud without loss
ofcasle or reputation. This has seemed to bo
privilege claimed by few States. 1 re-
peat that 1 fully agree with You as TO the
measure of your duties in the presenteme
gency, and as 10 my duties 10 20 on and
let every Governor, where the same dan
gers threaten the peace of his Stale, go on
in the conscientious discharge of his duties
to the humblest as we'll as 10 the prOudest
citizen, and 1 will give every aid for which
l can find law or constitutional power.
The government that cannot give prutec.
ton TO life, property and all guaranteed
civil rights-in this country The greatest is
an untramelled ballUt-to The citizen is i'm
so far failure, and every energy OF The op-
pressed should be exerted, always within
the law and by constitutional means, 10 re-
gain the lost privilege and protection. Too
long denial of guaranteed rights is sure
TO lead to revolution, bloody revolution,
where suffering must fall upon the innocent
as well as the guilty.
Expressing the hope that the better judg-
ment and cooperation Of the citizens of the
State over which you have presided So ably
may enable you 10 secure The fair trial and
punishment OF all offenders without dis
tinction of race or color or previous condi-
tlon, and without aid from the Federal
Government, but with the promise of such
aid on the conditions named in the forego-
ing, 1 subscribe myself very respectfully
your obedient servant, U. S. GRANT.
To Hon. d. II. Chamberlain, Governor
of South Carolina.

The British and Foreign Anti-Slavery
Society, in recently issued appeal to all
lovers of freedom for subscription and CO.
operation, states that the slave trade is now
being carried on at an annual cost of at
least 100000 African lives. Seventy thous-
and slaves reach the coast and 43O, 900 per-
sons are massacred in the slave hunting
wars and in the journey to the sea from
the interior. There are five routes by
which slaves are taken from central Africa,
all of which are constantly travelled. The
British treaties with Zanzibar do not real
ly prevent tho traffic, because the Sultan
has no power to enforce the execution of
the treaties. The society purposes to seek
directly, by all justi6able means, to abol-
ish slavery in Egypt, Turkey, Persia, Fan
zlbar, Madagascar, Tunis, Morocco, Cuba
and Brazil.

From the WeIl.known Maker of YaIe's
Mammoth Tent.

Gentlemen,-I have suffered ten years from the
worst forms Of Acute Catarrh, or Cold in the Head
that ever afflicted mortal man. Whenever took a
fresh cold 1t would settle In my head, causing the
most violent sneezing, accompanied with excessive
discharges from my eyes and nose. For days and
days my suffering would be intense, and finally set
ting in my loins and bowels, would render my life
miserable for month. Never, during all my suffer-
ing, was able to obtain temporary relief from
any medicine ever tried. Three weeks ago, while
suffering from the worst attack had, procured
bottle of Sanfords Radical Cure for Catarrh. The
relief from the first dose gratifying that
would willingly have given One Hundred Dollars to
obtain it. few doses completely cured me. My head
has since been perfectly free from mucous aCcumula-
ions, my breathing easy, and not symptom Of trou
BILE about my back and bowels has presented itself.
Its effect in my case has been tIuly remarkable.
Very respectfully r. NJ YALE,

WRITTEN RoR THE VERMONT PHOENIX.
Thou and 4,
by MAUD MEREDITH,

Thy life is like unto a beacon light
That guides the mariner far out at sea,
Shedding on all a lustre calm and bright,
Illuming all the place where thou mayst be;
While my poor talent, like the glowworm's spark,
Deep hidden meath the meadow vines and grass,
Gives only forth feeble ray at dark,
As some lone wanderer chance my way to pass.
Or like some giant elm, thy grander life
Is strong and brave and ever proudly free;
OF grace and motion all thy days rife;
Thy lordy genius blooms whero all can see;
But my poor talent, like some homely flower,
Blooming beside distant, sluggish river,
Perfumes, maychance, some simple insects bower
Yet longing for thy broader life forever.
