AN ARMORY SACKED. Six Negroes and ‘One White Man Killed, One White and Two Blacks Wounded. Avucusta, Ga., July 9, 1876, Hamburg, tho sceno of the extraordinary hostilities of last night between the blacks and whites, is amangy little South Carolina town just opposite this city, and was built a generation or two ago by an eccentric German. Since emancipation it has becomo siill further reduced, and has for some years past becn a mere negro ‘settiemont, with here and there a white inhabitant, The colored people have had the local government administered in their own way and by those of their own Tace, and in particular a negro militia com- pany armed with muskets furnished by tho Stato has been the great power in the town. On the Fourth of July last this company was out on parade, and while maneuvering on ono of the muin streets, de: tained a couple of young white men en route to their home in the country beyond tho village longer than the latter thought necessary. High words arose, and 1m consequence a complaint was lodged against tho officers of the corepany before Princo Rivers, a colored man, who is the local magistrate and also Major Gen- eral of the South Carolina militia for that district, At the preliminary hearing a turbulent negro, named Doc Adams, captain of the company, was so disorderly that Rivers threatened to commit him for contempt, and tho further hearing was postponed to yesterday (Saturday), the Sth inst At this time the white men lodging tho complaint wero ropresented by counsel, General M. C. Butler, formerly a major general of cav- alry inthe Confederate service and the candidate tor Lieutenant Governor on the Union Reform ticket run some yoars since in South Carolina, On his way to the Court House General Butler perceived a number of ARMBD AXD MOUNTED WHITES taking the same direction, and when the case was called for trial from 100 to 150 whites from the back country were in town. Tho officers of the negro milita refused to appear for trial when the case was called, and it was soon discovered that orders had been sent during the day to the members of the com- mand to assemble at their armory and that the com- Pany wasthen under arms. Rivers, tho magistrato, then took counsel with General Butler, who gave it as his opinion that the whole trouble arose from the company retaining the State arms in deflance of tho order of the Governor to return them to tho Stato arsenal. To prevent a collision between the two bodies then in arms, the white Carolinians on one sido and the negro militia on the other, Rivers attempted to induco the latter to comply with the Governor's orders and give up the State guns, saying that the procecdings for obstructing tho roads would then bo dismissed, on an apology being made to the complainants who had been detained. The militia replied that they could not safely give up their arms, and after somo further par- ley declared that they positively would not be sur- rendered, and the company then took post in thetr ar- mory. The Carolinians, reinforced by this time by some men from here, opened fire on the armory, to which the blacks ‘immediately replied, and a sharp skirmish ensued, In front of the armory, which is a two story brick building, with a brick para: pet on top, 18 the bridge of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad Company, a wooden structure, on granite piors, and behind the armory are several tresiles belonging to the same corporation. The whites, enconsing themselves benind the bridge piers, the trestles, trees and other shelter, fired from that cover, while the colored militia fired from the parapet surmounting their armory. PIGHTING FROM COVER. Tho fight opened about an hour before dark and was conducted with vehemenco on both sides A little atter dark a white man named T. Mackey Mer- riwether, of South Carolina, was stot through the head and instantly killed while firing from behind one of the abutments of the railroad bridge, Shortly atter this a piece of artillery wag trained upon the armory dat about nine opened with canister. The caused such a vibration im th building that the colored militia fled trom the parapet, fearing, as some of their number who were afterward taken stated, that the walls would be battered down, and tor a while their tiring was done from the cellar, The whites by this time had procured a quantity of pow- der and fuse to ; HLOW THE ARMORY UP, and a supply of solid shot, improvised out of dumb- bells, was provided; but betore either coull be useda reconnaissaace showed that the negroes had deserted tho building. Tho whites immediately set searching the town, and at this time, about midnight, & warlike scene was presen: One stalwart mulatto named Attawsy, a mem- ber of the South Carolina Legislature, was found hidden under a stair step in the armory, where it seemed impossible for a boy to squeeze. Another negro was found buried in the dirt, with only his eyes, nose and mouth open to the air. Atanother point eight of the militia, with their rifles and ammunition, were found wedged under a floor. During the search a huge negro named Cook, the Towa Marshal or Chief of vhepie| slipped out from some hiding placo and made for a little corn patch, As he mounted the fence a volley was fired and he fell into the patch RIDDLED WITH DALLS. About one o’clock the crowd bad largely dispersed, and Geveral Butler left for home, after advising that the prisoners be carried on to Aiken, tho county seat, and turned over to the civil authorities, Up to two this morning alt was quiet, but shortly alter that hour sharp firing broke out und lasted some time. Then all ‘was quiet till day. Early this Callie your corre- spondent visited the scene of action. Not an armed man or weapon was visible anywhere, nor a white person, except one little boy. Just at the South Curo- lina edge of the passenger bridge, however, there was @ large concourse of colored }, men and women, gathered in groups at tl side of the road and along a fence about a corn field at varions points Just inside the fence lay the body of the mulatto iogislator before mentioned, Atta- way. Farther up the fence lay the body of another mulatto, Almost opposite, but outside the fence, and half in the road, was a third negro corpse, and some fifty steps further up the road lay a fourth negro mor- tally wounded, Some from Aug had forced the halt-paralyzed negroes to procure him a mattress and pillow, and nad given him some whiskey while the arrival of a physician was awaited, but tho man soon died. On the fence bung a negro woman crying and wailing, and up the road came a grim pro- cession with 4 COFFIN ON A BIER. Proceeding to the besa? & spectacle of great de- struction was presented. @ canister had torn out whole bricks from the front of the building, split and shattered a large door in the second story, opening on to what wi balcony, and splintered the rafters inside, The walls inside and out were liberally pep- pered with bullet marks, and the floor was covered ‘with broken bricks, empty cartridge boxes, shattered lamps and picture frames, fragments of druma, sphnters, plaster, &c, The gun racks around the room were empty, and one bul had struck out the namo ing the words the names on ver one place for un, le th corporal” still legibe, From Tacks the company must have numbered some forty privates or about filty in all. On gaining the armory the whites had evidently destroyed what the cannon and musketry shot had spared, the only paraphernalia of a drill room not injured being a stand of State and national colors and a small United States fla; “The casualties, #0 far as your correspondent has seen tue bodies, are one white man and six negroes killed, and one white ond two blacks wounded.

FROM A SCHOOL GIRL, To ti Epiror oy tHe Heranp:— T enclose ten cents (all I can spare), for a monument to the noble General Custer. Iam a school girl, but can read the newspapers, and my heart was filled with pity when I read the other night for mother the ac- count in your paper of the awful slaughter done by the Indisns on General Custer and bis army. Wo girls qdmire brave men, because, I suppose, and as mother says, we are such cowards our- selves, I would give the world to havo had one look at the foarless General Custer; and then he was so young and, as tho papers say, so handsome, I could ery tears over bis sad fate, All the girls and women, I fancy, must feel as I do, for such’ horoes as General [cuner are what they most admire, and then, you know, they aro scarco. Leave it to the school girls and a monument will soon bo raised to the gallant General Custer, for ho wasaman, SCHOOL GIRL FROM A POOR ENTRY CLERK.

GENERAL CUSTER’S WIDOW. To tne Eprron or tHe Heraip:— . Will you permit an old oMcer to make a suggestion based upon your recommendation that a monument should bo erected to the Custers? Instead of erecting a monument to General Custer would it not be better to make a collection among our married mon to assure Mra, Custer a competoncy for life? She is now reduced. to beggary and will have to await the tardy action of the Pension Office to insure her $30 per month! Do you not think that if Custer bimself could speak he would profer bread for his widow to a stone for him- self? During our lato war 80 many officers were compli- mented with swords, when their children needed shoes, that I have often thought how much better it would have been to havo presented their families with a paid- up policy for a reasonable amount, rather than giving them a sword for which they had no use, the one they already owned being quite sufficiont to answer all prac- tical purposes, When Custer went into battlo he was a woll man. What wouid be the pecuniary condition of his.wife if he fell? But ho, no doubt, thought that an appreei- ative, gencrous people would take care of bis widow, Tf you will take hold of this matter with your usual spirit and vigor, and make Mrs, Custer’s causo your own, she will be quickly placed above want. Yours truly, N.B MICHIGAN'S LOVE FOR HER DEAD HERO. Derrorr, July 11, 1876; ° To Tne Eprror or tux HeraLp:— Tho proposition of the Heratp to donate $1,000 ‘oward a monument to General Custer will ity many hearts in Michigan. There are at least 2,000 men scattered over this State who followed the gallant Custer from the Potomac to Five Forks, echeing his wild shout as the charge was made; feeling such a love for him as sons feel for fathers, and grieving now as sons grieve whon father’s hearts, beating proudly in the prime of life, have been suddenly stilled. Few knew his great heart, cool mind, and his desper- ate daring as did his Michigan cavalry brigade. They followed him on the skirmish line; they rode after him across tields and marshes and along the highways; and when his golden locks streamed out benind in the mad charge they were a battiefiag for men to rally on. We wanted him for our hero, He lived here with us; he moved among us, and he felt that he was one of us To-day there is mourning in almost every village in Michigan as some old soldier wipes a tear from his cye and in a low voice tells his hearers that General Custer was as tonder-hearted as a mother, as brave aaa lion, and as dashing and as daring as avy caval ot old, Men sorrow to-day and they will grieve to-morrow and next week and next year, and the gray hairs will come and turn to snow white before those who rode after “our little general’? can think of him withou the heart growing larger, We wanted his memory to oursolves, bat we will share it, The Hexanp is a great and influential news- paper. it hae led off, and let it go turther. Michigan will contribute to a national monument for General Custer, othor States will contribute, and we will rear to his memory something that cannot perish by fire or flood, something that shall make each heart beat faster with pride even while it grioves over tho dust of the man whose inspiring shout nerved men to desperation and whose soft voice would bring tears to their eyes, M.

The Henarv. with its accustomed liberality, has stfbscribed $1,000, and quite a number of other subsciptions have been’ received, We hope a generous fund will be subcribed, for itis well that we, in this utilitarian age, should recognize and pay tribute to heroic deeds, to valor, and to that exempli- fication of true manhood which leads wen to certain death in the performance of duty. Let us by all means erect a monument to the memory of the gallant General Custer, but let that monument algo do what be would bave done bad he returned alive from that bloody field—give due honor and credit to the officers and men of his command wha unfalteringiy followed hin to death.
