approaching State Fair on Thursday next,

ton could come to North Carolina. Men of
all colors and of every shade of political
opinion will unite in giving most cordial
greeting to the citizen who, in addition to be-
ing peerless soldier, wears among his laurels
the crowning honor of being the redeemer Of
his State from government that for corrup-
tion and oppression is without a parallel in
history. But it is not alone as famous SOL
dier and distinguished citizen that he will be
welcomed to our State, for as their faithful
old commander also, he will be greeted by
men from every portion Of the State with
whom he shared every danger and every
hardship. 1t is, therefore, with the greatest
pleasure that we announce that he will be
with us at our approaching Fair, knowing, as
we know, to how many hearts in North Caro-
lima it will carry joy.
The Indian War.
- There has been more serious fighting with
the Indians, in which the Seventh Cavalry
participated. The following Washington dis
patch contains the particulars, as telegraphed
officially to the War Department:
Gen. Miles telegraphs from Bear Paw, Oc~
tober 3, that he surprised the Nez Perces
camp, capturing about 600 horses, mules and
ponies. The engagement was severe. The
Indians lost seventeen killed, including Look
ing Glass and Joseph's brother and three
other chiefs, and forty wounded. Joseph
gave me his solemn pledge yesterday that he
would surrender, but did not, and they are
evidently awaiting aid from other Indians
The Sioux are coming to their aid. They are
closely invested in some deep ravines, and
kept under fire. To take them by assault
would cost many lives. l may wear them
out, and eventually compel them to give up.
They fight with more desperation than any
Indians ever met. We lost in killed Capt
Owen Halle, of the 9TH Cavalry, and Second
Lieutenant Riddle, of the .7th Cavalry.

Requisition for Senator Patterson.
"A Washington dispatch of the 9th in.
stant says that Judge Cartier, Supreme Judge
of the District of Columbia, has received a
requsiton from Governor Hampton, of South
Carolina, for United States Senator j. ].
Patterson. Judge Chase has examined the
indictments, certificates, ETC., and will issue a
warrant for Pattersons arrest. A technicali-
ty appears in the requisition, which will prob
ably necessitate returning it before any def
mite action is taken.
Patterson publishes the following card in
the New York Herald of the 9th:
+ Will you be kind enough to correct the
statements in the Washington letter in the
Herald of the 1st instant, relating to me? I
can't imagine who started such report.
do not propose to dodge anything. I have
for months said would support Mr.. Hayes
administration by my votes in the Senate and
still intend to do so. As between the Presi-
dent and myself there is, as far as known, the
kiudest feelings. When General Butler was
elected Senator last winter, said l would
vote for his admission, and intend to do 80

Senate to investigate the charges contained in
the indictment against me, but shall attend
the sessions of the Senate as punctually as
always have done. J. J. PATTERSON.
Our Member.elect to Congress.
"A Spartanburg correspondent of the
Columbia Register, makes the following refer
euce to Col. John H. Evins, member.elect to
Congress from this Congressional district:
"Walking into the law Office of Messrs.
Evins Il Bomar to-day, found our esteemed
Congressman elect, Col. John H. Evins, at
his desk, writing up his correspondence and
other matters, which keep him quite busy
Just now before leaving for the extra session.
He has fine law practice here, and his ab'
sence from the Spartanburg bar will be very
much felt during his attendance on the ses-
sions of Congress, which virtually takes its
members from the routine of the temple as
we'll as away from the more charmed circle of
home. In speaking Of the numerous apPli-
cations which flow in upon him, chiefly for
appointments in the postal service, he ex'

done in that direction, at least for the present,
and in support of this view mentioned the
