Man h Held by Sitting Buai-The Gov-
eminent Taking Ste pa for His Release.

Confir nation Of the Report that White
Man n Held by sitting Bo,i-The Gov-
eminent Taking steps for His Release.
II was some time ago stated In news
papers that there was white soldier
held as a prisoner in Sitting Bulls
camp, but everybody supposed that it
was merely a campfire story in print
Gen. Terry, however, gives it official at
tention, and writes as follows to the War
Department
SIR: On my recent visit 10 Fort Walsh
was accompanied by young half-breed named
Baptiste shane who acted IA interpreter for
the Commission TO meet Sitting Bull. After
we had left Fort Walsh and were on our way ~
Fort Buford, he informed me that last spring
he was in Sitting Bulls camp, and there met n
white man, who said that his name was Martin
RYAN that he had been . corporal in the
Seventh Cavalry; that he was taken prisoner
in the action Of June 26, 1876; that he had
been held a. a prisoner ever since that time,
although he had made several attempts TO e.
cape. Shane also said that while talking 30
this man he was interrupted BY Sitting Bull
who ordered him away from the lodge III
which they were oonversing, and that this man
Ryan il kept painted by the Indiana, 20 as 10
be hardly recognizable as white man,
and IL married to a daughter Of Spotted Eagle.
Shane ia, 1 think, truthful and Trustworthy
Young man, and, moreover a reference to the
list of killed and wounded in the action
of June &c, 1876, shows that Corporal Ryan,
Of Company G, Seventh Cavalry, was reported
az killed
! respectfully suggest that a demand be
made OH the proper authorities for the release
of This man from imprisonment, and his resio-
ration 10 his country.
have the honor TO be, cir, very respectfully
your obedient servant,
ALFRED H. TERRY,
Brigadier General Commanding.
Secretary McCrary at once sent a copy
of Gen. ,TeIry's statement to the Score
tary of State, with the following letter:
To the Honorable the Secretary OF State:
SIR: have the honor to transmit for your
action copy of a letter from Brig. Gen. A
III. Terry, relative to the reported capture OF
Corporal Ryan, Of the Seventh Cavalry, in the
engagement Of June 20, 1876. and his retention
in captivity by Sitting Bull, and beg TO request
that you will cause the matter to be invest-
gated, and, if the facts are proven to be as al
legged, that demand be made on the proper
authorities for the release of this man from
imprisonment. Very respectfully your obedieDt
servant, GEORGE w. MCCRARY,
Secretary of War.
Secretary Evarts has addressed letter
on the subject 20 Sir Edward Thornton,
at the British Legation, who in turn has
communicated with the Governor Gen
eral of Canada, under whose supervision
Sitting Bull now lives, and through him
Maj. Walsh will be instructed to ascer-
tain in some way if this remarkable story
is true, and, if such man is held by
Sitting Bull, to demand his release.

SHOCKING MURDER.

On last Saturday afternoon Coroner Her
rick was notified that the dead body of a
colored woman named Tilda Norris had
been discovered in piece of woods some
twelve miles southeast of Anderson, and on
Sunday morning he repaired to the place
and held an inquest over the body, which
had certainly been murdered as the skull
had been broken in fearful manner by two
heavy blows, one OH the forehead and the
other upon the back of the head. The body
had evidently been robbed of its clothing
and removed from the place at which the
murder occurred and had laid there for one
week. The testimony showed that the wo-
man and her husband, Cato Norris, had on
Ehe previous Sabbath to the inquest had q
difficulty, and that her husband had made
threats against her. On shet evening they
went ont visiting and starte6S. ONE together.
She was never heard of afterwards, until
her dead body was discovered in a horrible
condition. Her husband was present at the
inquest, and gave his testimony in apparent
rnconcern. The jury did not feel satisfied
to present any one as the perpetrator of this
crime, and we are informed that on Mon
day Cato Norris disappeared, and cannot
now be found. 1t is greatly to be regretted
that he was not arrested. as everything
points to his guilt, and the perpetrator of
such fiendish deed of barbarity as this
should not have been so tenderly dealt with.
We hope that every effort will be made for
his capture and trial. Such crime is dis
grace to the civilization of any people, and
every citizen ought to feel that the good
nsme of our County has been outraged by
this foul deed: Nothing short of hanging
the perpetrator ought to satisfy any one.

DARING ROBBERY.

On last Sabbath morning, while Mrs. NJ.
A.. Morris and family were in attendance
upon the services of the Episcopal Church,
her house in Anderson was entered and
robbed of watch, locket, purse of money
an. other valuables, amounting to several
hundred dollars. Search was promptly in
stituted, and in the afternoon Harry Miles
and. William Green, colored, were found
playing cards at the house of the latter, and
fresh 0aint was discovered on the clothes of
Miles, who had also been seen near Mrs
Morris residence in the morning. From
the fact that her house had been recently
painted suspicion Immediately rested upon
Miles, who was arrested, and upon his way
to Jail confessed the crime, and told the
officers they would find a portion of the
stolen property in Green's house. The
search was made and the watch and some
Other articles were found as stated. VIM.
Green was then also arrested and lodged il
Jail. The locket and purse were put in
crack in the partition wall in the Jail. and
aftes some little time he also directed the
officers where to find them, which was
done.
Miles, who was tried here some time ago
for stealing watch from Mr.. John HASTE,
of Fendleton, is evidently the leading rob-
Der in this case, and is very bad character.
A bunch of thirty or forty keys, of all dis
crip.ions, was found in his pocket, and some
of them were identified by citizens of An;
derson as keys they had lost. While Miles
is the leader in this business, he evidently
has confederates, and but for his bad days
work on last Sunday, no doubt other out
RACES would soon have been committed in
this community. The seyerest penalties of
the law should be inflicted upon these ras-
Gals, both to place them beyond the power
of continuing their robberies, and to deter
others from following their example.

WILLIAMSON.

On Saturday, the 9th ult., the little town
of WILLIAMSON was overrun with wagons,
men, horses, mules and oxen, and conse-
quently the platform and its surroundings
were covered to oyerfowing with cotton.
According to actual count there were 127
bales of that staple brought in and sold

say rather given away for guano. Alas!
for our hard-working farmers, instead of
enjoying the proceeds of their hard-earned
labor themselves and paying for rations
with which they have been supplied in or
der to make this cotton, to be compelled to
send it to those guano companies. Itwould
be far better for them to make more fertil-
izers at home and use less from abroad. In
the afternoon of the same day there was an
auction of goods held at the store Of Mr.. c.
E. Horton, where many bargains were

interesting part of the exhibition, per-

followed in its erial flight by,a negro man
to such height that he apparently looked
no larger than squirrel when he began to
descend. He landed safely on terra frnsa
after his ride through the air without any

SANDY SPRINGS.

Those who have been, and are now, pa
irons of our school will please remember its
approaching close. On the last day, the
25th, we earnestly desire each and every one
to come forward like honorable gentlemen
and willingly fulfill their portion OF the
agreement, as ,ve have cheerfully and un-
fiinchingly done. A word to the wise is
sufficient. Saturday, the 3rd inst, being
the day for the quarterly meeting of the
Grange, it convened at Sandy Springs.
Five Oranges were represented at the meet
ing. A goodly number of grangers and cit
izens were present to witness this Grange
Festival. Each granger brought something
of the products of his farm and garden for
exhibition. The exhibits, though few in
number, were of a superior quality. Corn
would compare favorably with any raised
in any portion of the United States, either
in size or quality; turnips, planted in Sep
tember, measured six inches in diameter !;
potatoes, millet and an innumerable host Of
other farm products and garden vegetables,
all evincing thorough knowledge of agri-
culture, both in sowing and in tilling. The
Hall being elegantly and tastefully testoon.
