he looked down upon the noble general
the tears coursed down his face as he
said: 1.-THE flower OF the army Is gone
at last" Custer was supposed to be the
first one who died, but though he fell
first, we found seventeen cartridge shells
by his side where he had kept them of
until the last moment. There can be no
blame attached to any one for the fear
full slaughter.
Custer was found in such position as
to force the supposition that he was the
first of the gallant band who died-that
he was, when death struck him, where
he was always found, at the head Of his
column. A gallant gentleman, mag
unanimous enemy, Ghivsirous, daring
and bold, his death has compelled tri6-
ute from former foes IS well as comrades,
General Sturgis being singular and alone
in an attempt to slur the character Of
one Of the bravest officers be found in
any land. How marked the contrast
between the tribute Of General Rosser,
formerly OF the Confederate army, and
who encountered Custer in the field sew
eral times during the late civil war. He
knew the great Indian fighter was brave,
aud he testified to that bravery as be-
comes a brave man, bringing to
the bier of the dead soldier the tears
and regrets OF a heartfelt, genuine
sorrow. But not only General Rosser,
the whole south has experienced deep
and abiding sorrow for the loss Of SO use
full life and so glorious a soldier,
strengthening their expressions with
tenders of ten thousand swords to avenge
bis death. And the south is not alone
in this. From all parts of the country
the tenders Of service have reached the
government; the whole people, without
regard to section or party, thus testify
ing to the skill, courage and endurance
of one Of our foremost military leaders.
In opposition to this, Sturgis lifts his
feeble voice; and the parasites Of the sd-
ministration, which is responsible for
the Custer massacre, seek to cover him
with the odium Of rashness. The peo-
pie, generally right, have, however, de-
livered their verdict, and Custer will
forever be remembered as among the
"bravest of the brave"

THE CHINESE QUESTION.

EDITORS APPEAL see from the Cal
ifOrnia papers that the people of that
State are very much opposed to further
importation Of the Chinese, and an arti.
Gle in the Examiner Of the fifteenth of
June gives as reason why they are not
wanted, that they work so cheap that
they drive other laborers out Of employ
ment. AS this will be no objection to
them in the valley Of the Mississippi,
have thought that it would be well il
the papers OF the valley should urge
them to come here. We have millions
of acres Of land to till; the white man
can't work in the bottoms, and the ne
gro won't work. There is not in all our
land household but wants servants
that are reliable, and the negro is not
in fact, they will not work in the coun
try at all as house servants. AS to the
morals of the Chinese, they are no wore G
than the negroes, and twelve years OF
freedom has taught US that the negro is
the worst of servants. We had few
Chinese here, and found them the best
house servants 1 ever saw. / do not
know what religion they profess, but
they are certainly very strict in the OBJ
servanee of their religious duties. We
certainly want laborers, and / see no
reason why we should not have Chi
nese, IS they can stand miasmatc Gil
mate as well as the negro. l have never
y heard anyone complain OF their not
fulfilling their contract, and they ale
certainly very efficient laborers.
B. L,
We have as little objection as our cor
respondent to the Chinese. Not because
we desire labor SO cheap as will de-
grade the free workipgmen Of America,
black or white, to the level Of the bru.
tslized and toiling millions OF Asia, but
because we know this to be fee coun-
try, and we want it to continue free to
all the people of the world, be their
tongue or nationality what it may. The
Chinese may come, and we hope the
day never will dawn on America that
will find a Chinese wall of words pro-
hibiting, by Federal enactment, their
settlement here. As to the statements
Of "B. L." in regard to the negro, we
can offset them by the returns made by
the planters OF the cotton districts tiibu-
tary to Memphis, as We find it in the
June report OF the cotton exchange:
, Answer-West Tennessee, "a report
llaborers working better than since the
war, Is working well, not well; North
Mississippi, % better than since the war,
20 working well; Arkansas, 19 working
better than since the war, 81 working
well, 4 not working well.
This contradicts "B. L." fatty. 1t
says that mole than half the negro Ia
borers are working better than since
the war. and the other half is working
well. So, disproving the asserted idle
ness of the negro, the call for Cinnamon
by "B. LIZ is bsseless. What we want
at the south is not more negro or Chi
nese labor, but white farmers who will
cultivate their own acres and their per-
sonal independence at the same time,
and increase our sturdy, industrious
white population.

SPEAK NO EVIL OF THE DEAD,

sFEAA No EVIL VI The DEAD
The most cruel and vindictive, almost
brutal, attack upon dead man that we
have read in many day is that Of Gen.
eral Sturgis upon General Custer.
Granted to Sturgis some privileges grow
ing out of deep feeling and sorrow for
the loss Of his son, there was nothing
either In the record Of General Custer,
or his conduct at Little Big Horn, that
would excuse the imputation Of coward
ice heaped upon his memory by broth
er officer. General Sturgis is reported
by the st. Louis Times to have said
Some Of the reports speak OF Custer
dying with his face to the foe, amidst
his gallant little band of officers. What
credit Is he entitled to for fighting when
attacked? Even spider or an ant will
turn when trOd upon. Why was not
General Custer at the head OF his troops
instead Of = long distance in the rear OF
them? Why was not his body found
where the hottest fight occurred, instead
OF back on that knoll?
The suggestion here contained is en-
phatically contradicted by Lieutenant
Garland, of the Sixth infantry, who
writes:
1 was standing by General Custer
when General Terry came up, and as

BARBOUR LEWIS EXCITING RACE
PREJUDICES.

Barbour Lewis took advantage Of the
picnic given 10 the Sons and Daughters
Of Zion (colored) last Tuesday night, to
make most inflsmmatory polite Il
speech. He advocated social equality
in its broadcast sense; told the colored
people that their rights were not re-
spected; that Abraham Lincoln had
been murdered because he was their
friend; thst many Of their own color
had been murdered for defending their
rights. He compared them to the Is
raelites psssingthrough the Red sea, and
called upon them to be united in their
party affiliations. He urged upon them,
in word, to make race issue. Such
speeches as these are intended to excite
sectional and race feelings, and to divert
the minds of the people, especially
the colored people, from the terri
BILE misdeeds of the Radical par
ty; to hide their corruptions, and to
keep out of view the great distress they
have brought upon the country. Yet
such men as Barbour Lewis and his CO.
adjusors in the city complain of 3D.
cial ostracism. What do such senti-
ments ss he uttered at the Exposition
building, Tuesday night, deserve? They
deserve the execration Of all good men
of all parties and colors. While listen
ing to him we were reminded of Colo.
mel George Gantt's apt remark at the
formation Of the second ward Demo-
cratic club, that "the bloody shirt of
Frances, Thompson should be presented
to Barbour Lewis, that he might wear it
as an emblem of his principles" The
fact that man uttering such senti-
ments as those uttered by Barbour
Louis, Tuesday night, is tolerated in
this community, shows how tolerant we
are and how false are the ISLANDERS Of
Randolph and Moore.

GREAT
REDUCTION OF BOARD

AT THE CELEBRATED ROCKBRIDGE
IA ALUM SPRINGS.-Owing to the depressed
condition of the country, the proprietor has
determined to lower his charges, that all may
be able to derive the benefits from the use OF
these justly celebrated waters. They need no
recommendation, since they have so fully es-
tablished their Q siciency through the thou
sands who have been brought from deaths
door to renewed health by the use OF their
wonderful medicinal waters. Since last sum-
mer the Chalybeate Spring, which was opened
last year, has been thoroughly analysed by
Professor NJ. B. Harden, OF the V. M. l., of
Virginia, and by comparison shows 1t to be
fully as strong as " Rawley" OF carbonate OF
iron, having small quantity more than one
and a small quantity less than the other two
springs. So in addition to the water that has
made these springs so famous, the proprietor
takes pleasure in announcing that he can fur
nlSh those who may need to drink either sep
arately or in connection with the Oslo-
brated waters OF these springs pure carbon
ate of iron (chalybeate) water, inferior to
none, and equaled only by Rawley, in this
State. This at the very cheap rates, with &C
commodation fully up to any previous year.
First month of four weeks, $50; two months
