The following touching lines npon the death ot a brave man we clip from the Daily jYews of the 17th. Tlie gallant Custer seems to have been universally beloved. I A cloud sweeping down on the breast of the plain, With lancet of lightning and patter of hall, And a cry that. the. mountain answered again; - The shout was of triumph, it* echo a wail, And soldier and Sioux Were vroven together in one ghastly hne. 11. No flinching, no failing, each man at his best, With sabre uplifted and carbine aimed _ low. These mcu would h" re charged ail the reds , of the West, Without stopping to count the cost or the foe. Theirs not to take heed! Theirs only to follow where Caster might lead. 111. A captain of legions, denuded of power, His blood turned to lava at thought of the slight, But his not the soul of the craven to cower ; With many or few, he must lead in the flglit, And prove to them all He knew how to fight as he knew how to fall. IV. As the hot breath of buttle fanned his brown cheek Bronzed with the kisses of south wind and •un, His long swinging sabre with red blood did reek, He knew lie was charging a hundred to one, » Yet what cared he then? He often won victory a tlousand to ten. V. They fled far and fast, but like tlggers at bay And kuowing their strength and Ills weak ness full well, They turned like a tide and bare-armed to the fray, » As demons might charge from the centre of hell, Fonght all the day through, Fought ouly as tight the savage aud Sioux, VI. ne knew he was doomed, that no aid was near, , Yet of all his solders not one turned to fly, In heat ts of such heroes there'll no roein for fear, Room only for courage to struggle and die! When night came, the pall Of death and of siience had settled o'er all. VII. Chere's a sob in the Platte, there's a sigh o'er the plain, For the heart of the west is pulseless and dead. There's a patter of tears in the soft-falling rain- Soft tears that the angels in pity have shed, But no tears have we! The barb th at brought deatt gave Immortal ity- BAHTI.ET CAMPBELL. \ IAJIII.B. At the close of ur last letter, we left our readers standing, in imagina* tion, on the. summit of Mitchell's peak, wraped in the sublimity aud grandeur of a mountain sunrise. At t r taking a final view of the whole scene; the several river valleys that make ol! from the loot of this groat mountain; the beautiful lakesot fog* that had settled in the valley of Toe river, looking almost as smooth as a mirror, and dotted around the mars gin with mountain tops, resembling islands; after looking at these aud hundreds of other beantltul things, and trying »o fix them indelibly in our mind, aud doubting that we should ever aoe as much sublime grand eur again, we slowly turned to follow our guide down the mountain side. We lound that this mountain, is the summer home of the little snowbird We also learned that the mocking-bird is never found wild iu this mountain section. We descended on the Yaucv side of the peak, going dowu Cany river towards Runisville. We reach* ed this pleasant little mountain vil lage In the evening, and speut the night there. It is said to be tlio high est town in the State, being nearly three thousand feet above the level of the sea. There is net much else that can be said about It. Any one till ing quietude and mountain scenery, ci>ii find it at this place. Froin Buriuville we went to Da kersvflle, a distance of sixteen miles. Here we found a thriving town, and a pleasant place on the bank* of Cane Creek. At Baker*vile we were in the midst cf the mica mining section. We visited the mica shop at this place, and secured some line specimen to bring borne with as. We also team ed something of its value, and the manner of working it. It ranges ui value from one to six or seven dollars per pound, according to the quality, and size of the pattern. Soui? men have grown rich in the business, while others have entirely foiled. We were informed that, although the mica had not attracted auy attention until since war, there were- indications, ,1u the growth ot trees ou old works, and other things, of its baring been work ed previous to the discovery of Amer ica by Columbus. We were Informed ot this, by a gentleman of tlip legal profession, who had made some in* I vesications into the mattef. His opinion was that the mound builders,* along the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, bad iu time sent exploring parties up the Tennessee and other rivers iu search of minerals and that these mines had been worked by them. You cau see traces of mica almost everpwhere, In the road, hi the fields, and iu tlto woods. While at Bakers* ville, wo had the pleasure of meeting with the Lodge of I. O. G. T's. at that place. It was the appointed time for the district couvcntion; but, for some reason, it had been post* potied. I Seven miles Northwest from Bas keersville, Is the groat Roan moun -1 tain. With Master Bobbie Treat* wood, ns a guiile, wo went to the lop of this mountain. It stands just on »iue of tbo Tennessee line, ana is, if possible, a bcUer place to take a view of the surrounding rouu> try than Mitchell's peak. I would advise all who may have (ho opportu nity to Visit the Roan. We were told could be 6ceu in five different States from the top of tbo Itoan. There are hundreds of aeresof bald land around the top loan. Large numbers of stoek are feeding on the fine gras that grows where there ia no timber. We could see, looking over a broad valley, the great Cumberland moun tains of Tennessee. We will not at tempt a description of what we saw from the top of the Roan, it was enough to repay us for the labor and time lost in going to see it. We never felt so small in all our lives as when looking over such an extent of coun try at one view. IPe looked, we I meditated, and we wrote. But we could not stay until we were fully satisfied. We returned by Bakers* ville; thence we went up CaneOreek. a>'d crossed over to the valley of tbe North Toe river, which is a tributary oftheNolichucky, and fiuds its way to the Mississippi. We were, at one time, not very far from the head waters of tbe Kanawha, a tributary of the Ohio, and a river of West Virginia. We visited Lin ville falls, and spent some time in looking at the rugged scenery about the falls. At two leaps the'water plunges übcu eighty feet into, what looked to be almost n bottomless pool. The cliffs and heights around tbe falls, were grandly boiutiful with blooming ivy. But if we attempt to describe the wild see ery about the faHs, we shall trespass upou somebody's pa* ticnce. From the falls we crossed ov er the East hide of the mountains. In passing over, a distance of twelve miles, we saw only one bouse. On the morning of the 19th of June we rcaced Morganton ready to take the traiu for Happy Rome. We had traveled ir. rambliug about 176 miles, that too on foot. If any $f our friends wish to ramble among tbe mountains, we would advise them to travel either on foct or on horseback. We have given but very few of the many things that we saw and enjoyed iu ear ram ble. After stopping one day at Hap py Home, we came to tbe city of Sal isbury. Here we visited the Nation al Cemetery, and spent some tine iu looking at tbe splcudid monument, which has been recently erected in houor of tbo Union soldiers, who died there daring tbe war. It Is a bear tiful work o.' art. J t stands about ibirty feet high. A marble wreath bang over the top of the column. A beat tbe middle of Ibe column a mantle is represented as overhang!ag some thing, but revealing the number 11- 700. A sheathed sword and beliaet, with tbe broken baads and chains of a tyrant, Ue at tbe bottom. Tbe only inscription that marks tbe column, is, "Pro Patria." But that is ineongh. W hat a place for reflection 1 What a place to bury sectional feel ing I What a place to awaken patri otic sympathy! It might be called weakness; but we could not restrain the tear that dropped, scalding hot, from oar eyes, as we looked up and read "Pro Patria." I Wbst a noble senliateal t It was ; Immortalized by Socrates long years ago. We felt prouder oi the frag- roents of our once glorious Union, than ever before. (Jo, to the grave , of those, "who sacrificed their hves upon tbe altar of their country"—Go, ye who bare fallen from tbe Godlike love of your country and yoar fellow- men. Go, as we did, before tbe close j ot the centennial year, and fire vour hearts with a patriotic devotion to "The fair land of ours." . No more fit place couid be suggested to our j mind, for closing the observations of a Centennial ltomble, than in a Na- 1 tioual Cemetery. We returned to Alamance, on the 21st ult. to find things very much as 1 we left them eight months, ago, and * to realize more folly than ever, that ws live iu a fine level country. J. W. H. » July fith, 1876. I Lawreace Barret has givea (250 to , Uje Castor monument fund. r art rail mt Ihtlaf Ball. A reporter of the St. Louis Globe- Denmrat ha# Mprtewed a Mr. Keller, who thus describes Sitting Bull: Tatonka Otahka (Sitting Ml,) who led th* savages in the flght against Custer, belong* to the Unkas papas (dried beefeater). Mr. KeK ler knows him well. He has a large bead, eves and aose, high cheek bones; one of his >egs if shorter than the oth er, from a gun ahot wound i n the left knee. His countenance is of an exs tremelv savage type, betraying that bloodthirstiness and "brutality for which he has been soloug notorious. Ho has the name of being one of the most successful scalpers iu the Indian country. There lias been a standing reward ot SI,OOO offered for his head for the last eight years, by the Monta na people, who have special causo to kuow his ferocious nature' some of his woist deeds haying been per pes (rated iu that Territory. The Sioux when on the war path, black their faces from the eyes down, the fore> bead being colored a bright red. VVJjeu iu mourning, or very eager to revenge the doath of friends or rela tions, they cut their hair short and daub their faces with white earth. Their feats of horsemanship are won* derful. They consider the greatest act ot valor to bo the striking ef their euetny with some hand instrument' while alive,and,whether alive or dead it is the first one tnat strikes the fallen 100 that "counts the conp," and not the one that shoots. They do not always scalp. Their object in scalp ing is to fnruish a proef ot their deed, and give them to their women to dance over. They always attack in a sweep ing, circling line, cagioolfce, give a volley, pass on, circle, aud return on a different angle. When they kill one of the enemy there is always a rush to get the first crack at' him, so jts to "count the coup," aud then some Indian who was disappointed iu get ting a cut at tho victem while alive* scalps him. The Sioux always camp with tepes (lodges) in a circle, make ing, as it were, a itockade, and when on dangerous ground tliey picket their ponies in the centre. Mr. Kel ler is familiar with the ground where the disastrous Custer occured. Concerning this ho said: " My idea of Custer slaughter is that the Indians had uo women and chil dren in their lodges, and had para pets dug under the lodges out of sight, Custer, thinking it was- a family camp rushed in the ceutre of their fort, where resistance would necessary prove fatal, liis only means of e*„ cape was, after finding himself in this fix, to run right through and out, and not stop to fight, but join Reno's com mand and retreat. Bea'l Kaew Except by Hearsay, Tabitba Sargent—' Auut Tabitha," we all called lier-was * spinster of an uncertain age, residing in the up per part of Oxford county, Maine. She might bavcbocn fitly—she might have been less—no one save herself could tell, aud she wouldn't. She bad beeu re|>catedly asked how old she wa*,„Mid had as often informed the Inquirer that it was nobody's bu siness bat her owu. Once upon a time Aunt Tabitha was summoned as a witness iu a case on trial at the fall term ef the Su preme Court beid at Parb—and au mpertant witness she was. She was o testify for tb* plain till. Charles B. Cummings was counsel for Iha de fence (I think It was Chart**); aud said Charles— "Now t'll make Aaut Tabitha tell oa her age. Wait, and see." We waited. Tabitha bad given her testimony, direct, terse aud strong, and wa* turn ed dver tar cross examination. 'What Is yeor name!" asked Coin mlngs, with severe dignity. "I told K to Mr. Hastings," answers ed tbe witness, with a snap. "To be sera—bat 1 wish to know Ibat I bare It right." "My name Is Tabitha 8 argeut!'' "ll'as Sargent, yon will not flux get yoa are under oath. Where do yon nvw redde?" "IN A adorer. # "How okl arc yoa?" "Eh?-What, sir?" "I—don't—kuew—sir!" ' "Don't know yoarown age." No, sir, Tabitha replied, firmly but with a sharp twinkle of her keen grey eyes. «*I bars not the least recollec tion of tbe circumstances of my birth, and consequently eoald not swear to its date. I may bare beard other people speak of It, bat I don't spose I'm here to tell what other folks say about things that haven't got notbiug whatsoerer to do with this case. So Mr. Chas. Camming*, Hit would lie any aatfs&c-.ion to roo, I tell you, ouce more—l d©L't know I" While Judge Kent docked bis head for a few moments, Tabitha gatbeted herself for tbe i ezt onslaught. But there was no need. She bad rau qui died Cbas. C. as be had never been vanquished before.— j 2f. r. Ledger.
