GENERAL GoRDoN's FATHER DE.
FENDs HIM.--Mr. q. n. Gordon, the
venerable father of General John B. Cor
don, has written letter, in which he
pronounces as UNANIMOUSLY and shame.
fully false" the report that his son sold
out the United States Senatorship. He
says General Gordon has ever been du-
tiful,. obedient and confding son, and
that in March last be informed him that
ne was tired of public life and craved the
peace and quietude Of his home and
bone affairs, besides which he could not
save up any money out of his salary, and
that the idea Of dying and leaving his
family without q competency troubled
him no little. Mr.. Gordon, ST., says he
urged his son to resign, and was only
surprised that he did not do 80 sooner.

CAMDEN, s. c., May 2,

CAMDEN, s. c., May 26.
Our community seems peculiarly un.
fortunate. No people discountenance
duelling more than the majority OF our
! citizens do. Yet for the fourth time in
| less than eighteen months we are dis.
turbed by efforts to arrange hostile meet
ings. This time the effort was to have q
pair of these meetings. Col. Z. B. q.
Cash, of Chesterfield, challenged Capt.
| w. L. DePass, of Camden, and Mr.. Rob.
! ert Ellerbe, of southern Kershaw, chal.
lenged Col. w. M. Shannon. Capt. De.
Pass accepted and Col. Shannon declined.
Warrants against Col. Cash, Capt. De-
Pass and their seconds were obtained,
| and Capt. DePass and his second were
arrested. Col. Cash and his representa-
tive succeeded in evading arrest. So the
matter stands to-day. It is believed that
further efforts are being made to bring
about meeting. ms
Now the causes of this commotion: A
Mr.. Weinges sued Mr.. Ellberbe for dam.
ages claimed by reason of violence and
injury to the person of Weinges by said
Ellberbe. A verdict for about $4,000
was awarded Weinges. This Judgment
was practically useless by reason of o
large Judgment or mortgage against Ell.
berbe Eeld by the late Mra. Cash.
Messis. Shannon & DePass for Weinges
inst.tuted proceedings to act aside the
judgment or mortgage of Mrs. Cash.
Among the grounds upon which these
proceedings rested was the charge Of
fsauG, as every one seems to understand
1t, legal not actual fraud. The difference
here is material. A person may by an
act or agreement commit what is called
legal or constructive fraud without, for one
moment, dreaming or intending any
wrong without, therefore, being guilty
of anything contrary TO perfectintegrity.
SO plain people end professional people
eoem to understand Che matter. Judge
Kersaaaw decided that no fraud of any
kind was contained in the Judgment or
mortgage, but set 1t aside on other
grounds. Appeal TO the Supreme Court
was taken, and the cause 10 docketed for
future hearing.
Messrs. Shannon and Del Pass are called
out for their professional acts in the va.
rious proceedings named, and it Is under.
stood that the special cause Is the allie.
cation aud tie endeavor 20 sustain, be It
understood, constructive fraud. Hearers
of the trial say that in this question and
sn other matters In issue the lawyers
seem to striyelto avoid anything which
rnieht seemt at all offensive. BE. this
statement as It may, it Ia undeniable that
they are challenged to mortal combat for
professional acts which are supposed TO
bo most sacredly protected.
Our community is tired of these at.
tempted dnels. Out Of tie four attempts
but one was inaugurased by resident.
Il 10 time fer ne to have little quiet
It 10 time for this matter of duelling TO
be stopped, once and forever. Our
statute books have the law needed, It
Is only necessary TO execute the law.

THE INDIAN WAR.
Several White HIon KfIled---The Troops
In Pursuit OF the Indians
ST. InuIs Nav

Sr. LOUIS, May 81.
A Southern New Mexico special says
"The Indians attacked party of Mexi-
cans at old Fort Cummins Saturday and
one man was wounded. A paymsster
who was passing pursued the Indians
with his escort and fought them all the
afternoon. They retreated into Cooks
Canon at night. Since then five dead
bodies have been found in Cooks Canon.
Among them is Samuel J. Lyon, stage
driver. All the bodies are terribly
burned. A stage coach end three wag-
ons also were burned. 1t is supposed at
least four others were massacred. The
Indions left in the direction of Florida
Mountains. The troops arrived at the
scene Saturday and took up the trail OF
the Indians
SAN FRANCISCO, May 31.-A Tucson
dispatch says o. r. Smith ia here from
Silver City and states that the whole
country surrounding that place is in q
state of terror and decentralization. Vic
toria and his band of no less than $50
warriors are spreading death ana de.
struction before them. Troops under
General Hatch appear to be powerless.
A volunteer company of men ere equip
ed, mounted and ratioDed by the citi-
zens OF Silver City to aid the military.
i This company under Captain E. v.
Price, reported to General Hatch at
Magellan mountains some days ago of
fering their aid. In response to this
offar they were informed by GeneraI
Hatch that citizens had better attend
to their own business, that,ha would take
care of the Indians. At that time San
Francisco Valley was being made deso-
late by the Indians, the settlers fleeing
for tt2ir lives and not less than twenty
two peuple killed.. It is also we'll known
that when q prominent Office. of the
Arizona command sent word to General
Hatch that by certain movement ha
(Hatch) could coral Victoria in Bex Ca-
non Hatch refused to cooperate and
Victoria escaped. The people Of South
western New Mexico are very bitter
against General Hatch.
Upwards of ESQ citizens have been
killed in New Mexico by the band oi
Indians during Hatch's campaign of the
last three or four months. They also
claim that ho has been defeated in every
engagement with the Indians and has
sent reports TO Military headquarters
most outrageously falsifying the real ait.
uation of afairs in his department.
