THE MEM ILP ED A APPEAL. ESTABLISHED 1840. MEMPHIS, TENN, THUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1884. VOL. XLIY-N- O. QQ8 Tn redaction in the cost of steel has proceeded so far that a Bteel vessel costs but little more to construct than an iron one, while ita capacity for freiehtage, speed and length of wear is much greater. This fact will show itself in the gradual displacement of the iron ships now afloat. Refuse cotton is now being used in the composition of building: material. It is ground up with about an equal amount of straw and asbestos, is converted into a paste, and this is formed into large slabs or bricks, which acquire.it is said, the hardness of stone, and furnish a really valuable building stock. The managers of the Blaine campaign are Star-rout- e jobbers Steve Elkins and Kellogg; the traitor and demagogue Ma-hon- e; Robeson, who plundered the Navy Department; Keifer, the whom even the Republicans of the House were glad to feet rid of, and Dorsey and Clayton et id omne genut. Like master, like man. Ths discovery of petroleum in India has caused quite a sensation there, and boring operations on a large scale will be begun next autumn near Sibi and llur-na- i. Mr. Townsend, a petroleum expert, has been commissioned by the Indian government to purchase boring plant, and is now on his way to the United States and Canada to secure the moat modern boring machinery. Expbbimexts at the Edgar Thompson Steel Works, Pittsburg, last week, dem- onstrated that manitaaese, superior in quality to that imported from Europe, can be manufactured in this country. This is the first manganese ever made in the United States. The daily production at the Edgar Thompson Works is fifty tons, while the highest daily production of Eu- ropean works is from ten to fifteen tons. The United States stands second among civilised nations in the manufacture of silk, and promises to lead before long. The value of the silk manufacture of 1880 was $41,033,015, New Jersey leading with $ 17,121,230, while New York followed with $10,170,140, Connecticut $3,881,000, Mas- sachusetts $3,761,260, and Pennsylvania $3,491,840, the most remarkable increase being from 1370 to 1SS0, when it was 250 per cent. Tin case of total depravity that was yesterday developed in Nashville should set our citv anthonties to thinking, Crimes against women have bean for some time (n the increase, and seemingly be- yond the power of police or constables to vrevent, but 'this Nashville case gives - wsmino of the possibilities of a lower depth that sist be nipped in the bad if we would not see the little girls of our Bute degraded in body as well as mind. Hamilto Fisu.Gen. Walker, Benjamin Bristow, Iloraoo White, Carl Sohuiz George William Curtis, President Eliot, " . Bishop Huntington and President Seejye, hitherto among the staunchest Repub licans, are all opposed to Blaine, believing Jiiin to be a corrupt and unprincipled man, unworthy the support and confi- dence of the people of the United States. He Is the wont of all the bad men who Lave diceraced the country and wrecked the Republican party. A writes in the Southern Miner and Manufacturer, treating of the slag.hundreds of thousands of tons of which now goes to waste, says that when in England - short time ago he was surprised to learn that for two or three years this substance had been used there for the manufacture of many useful articles. It is worked up Into bricks, paving stones and slabs, con crete panels, tiles, and the like. This waste is capable of being introduced as building material in many ways, and ready means for its application will soon be dis- covered should its manufacture be carried on in this country to anything like the ex- tent it is in England. Uvdkr the head of "Progres, at the South" we publish on the second page ' to-da- y a great number of items, each of them certifying to the rapid growth in inanntkctnres in every Fart ' South. For much c.f thia most valuable and en- couraging news we are indebted to the Souilurn Lumbertn, a publication that has special value for ill manufacturers in this section of the country, particularly those engaged in the lumber trade or in the manufacture of . machinery for that trade. We commend these notes of "Progress at the South" to Ithe special Attention of the readers of the Appeal who Lave read and digested the previous publications of the aame sort in our col- umns. They will find both aid and com fort in them to strengthen tho hopes we have endeavored to cherish thai the South is destined to become ths great manufac turing center of the country. Ths monumont (dedicated yeaterdiv) to Col. Smith and the men of the 'Tenth Mississippi (Confederate) Infantry who loll with him at Mumfordsville, Ky.,is the tribute of a brother who seeks in this way to perpetuate the memory of a hero who was one of thousands who, though foreign to the soil of the South, devoted their Uvea to its independence. Our corre- spondent, in a very lengthy special, tells the story of the brave soldier, and recalls the inciunU of the affair, which, though stubbornly contested, ended in a victory for the Confederates. A notable and pleasant feature of these dedication serv- ices was the presence of many Federal officers who were participant in the memorable encounter, and also of several relatives of Mr. Smith, the wealthy Scotch merchant And manufacturer, to whom the South la thus indebted for a memorial worthy her consecrated dead. TnR Democracy of tho Ninfi Congres-alo- nl district will meot at Trenton to-da- for the purpose of making a nomination. We trust thO wrangle which for two days was indulged in at Dyersburg will not be repeated and that tL better sense of the members will prevail. Any one of the lour gentlemen put in nomination at that place would make creditable munber of Congress after a little experience in ue House, and in making a selection from their number the convention could not make a mistake. As tor introducing a dark horse, that is something that should not be encouraged and should only be resorted to as a last extremity. The men arhe have been before the public solicit- ing the good will and suffrages of their fellow-ttllien- s ahoald have all the benefits that have accrued as a result of their p re- convention canvass. The Democracy out' ide of the Ninth District would gladly see either Latta, Glass, Caldwell or Cooper nominated. Ths tnpelo gum and the willow oak are timbers that are destined to a commercial valne never until recently dreamed of. A gentleman residing in Mississippi, who has tested them thoroughly, says the first variety is almost as soft and light as the cork of commerce, and is the whitest Um ber in the valley. It is extremely light. and cannot be split, and at the sa ne time it la very tough and tenacious and will bear a very heavy strain. It will, some day soon, be nsfd principally for buckets, bowls, pitchers aid trays; also for yokes and for almost all kinds of water vessels. For bread-tray- s it is the finest in the world. This wood grovi among the cypress trees, and is far more abundant, and it floats like cork. The water, or wil low oak, is second only to the live oak, and is almost an evergrern; it takes the coldest weather to make it shed its leaves, and it is almost as hard when seasoned as the Jive oak, and for the rim and spokes of wheels it has o superior.

The Monument in Honor of the Gallant Officer Unveiled at MumfordsTille, Kjr., on the Battlefield Where He Gave Up His Life for the Cause He Believed to be Eight. Capt. Sjkes's Address on the Life and Character of the Dead fSFXCIAL TO TBS AFPK1L.1 Mumfordsville, Kv., September 17. About 500 people from Mumfordsville, Woodsonville and the surrounding coun- try attended the nnveiling of the Smith monument here to-da-y. The trin brought some prominent visitors and many surviv- ors of the brigade. Among the old sol- diers present were Gen. S. B. Bucknor, Lieut Otis Baker and David Douglass, of Natchez, Mias.; Hugh Gibson, of Nashville ; Lieut. Clingan, Sergt. J. C. Rietti and Messrs. Fragiacomo, Hinkle, Albert Moore, David Rietti, of Jackson, Miss.; Samuel B. Watts, of Meridian, Miss.; Capt L. Finley and Col. White, of Hrnando; Capt J. W. Walker, J. T. Boone and B. S. Bynura, the latter gentle man accompanied by Miss Mary Bynum, of Horn Lake, Miss. ; Capt. Dykes, who delivered the address, and Andrew Smith, of Yazoo City ; also Miss Maria Smith and James Smith, son of Mr. James Smith Mr. Alexander Walt, of Glasgow, Scot land; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Manship, Mrs. Charles Gaston and the Rev. Dr. Hunter, of Jackson, Misa. Before the ceremonies were begun the guests of Mr. James Smith were in vited to a lunch which was spread a short distance from the inclosure. After lunch the assembly collected around an Improvised stand, whereon was spread the first battle flag of the Ninth Missis- sippi, CoL White, its colonel allowing its use for the occasion. Prayer was offered by the Rev. Dr. Hunter, of Jackson, Miss. Capt ,Sykes was then introduced, and delivered an address commemorative of the life and character of Col. Robert A Smith, who was born April 15, 1S38, and at the time oi his death was twenty-si- x years of age. Capt. Sykes dwelt at con Biderable length upon the life of this gal- lant officer and related the circumstances attending his first ealistment and bis sub- sequent career up to the day on which ho was killed. A brief sketch of the advance of Chalmers's brigade upon Mumfordsville was given, as also the post tion of the different regiments in the at tack. A minute detail of the engagpment followed, In which, the bravery of Col Smith and tha conduct of the brigade was shown; also incidents of the riddled flag and silenced guus of Fort Craig. The re treat of the brigade was next related, as also the advance of Brags army, the sur render and final occupation of the forts and intrenchments. The "address was closed with a noble tribute to the dead colonel, followed by one to the living brother for his many acts of charity and benevolence. The act of the Mississippi Legislature authorizing the removal of the dead to the present site was also read. After tho address the vast concourse re tired to the iuclosuro where the monu- ment was unveiled, Mr. Alexander Watt, of Glasgow, making a few remarks in rela- tion to Mr. Smith. An effort was made to photograph the monument and . surviving members present, but s rain began falling which prevented its accomplishment Photo- graphs taken from an original of ' Col. R. A. Smith were distributed among tue sur vivors, as also copies of tho poem,- - "The Conquered Banner." Present on the field was tha body-ser- v ant of Col. White, of Hernando, whe re mained with the eolonel throughout all the war and still lives on his place. He seemed to be a valuable aid to the colonel in pointing out where the dead of his reg- iment were hastily buried. Some officers of the Federal army posted at this point at the time of the attack were also present and the guests of Mr. James Smith, who were greatly aided by Mr.A.L, Woodson, an old resident, who remem- bered the beginning and close of the bat- tle, and was fully posted upon the disposi- tion of tha dead. THS MONUMENT. The lot at Rowlott's button, purchased for the purpose of having erected there- on s monument to tho memory of Col. K. A.

It is eight feet square at the base, six feet square at the top, and is twenty-fiv- e feet in bight The shaft bears the inscription: "South forty-tw- o de- grees wast and ninety poles distant is the I place of the sacnuce oi col.

On the th day of September, 18(52, the advance of Bragg's army into Kentucky crossed the State line, near Tompkins ville. On the 12th Chalmers's infantry hri trade, comnosed of the Seventh, Ninth, Tmith. Twentv-ninl- h and Forty-fourt- h Mississippi Regiments atd Ninth Missis- sippi Battalion of Sharpshooters, passed through Glasgow in advance of the army, and went into camp a short distance north of the town, where orders were re ceived to cook rations and be ready to move in an hour's time. At about 8 o'clock at night ths regimental bugles soundod the "a'aembly rail" and soon al ter the briirade was in line and mov ing at a nuick nace toward Cave City. About 12 o'clock the brigade reached this nnint. a halt was called and details of mm Dosted so as to intercept s train of Fdr! soldiers then on its way from Louisville to enforce Gen. Buell at Nash-m- . Artillery was aiso posted, and in such a manner that any attempt on tha part of the train otficials to pass that point would have resulted ina complete anni- hilation. However, the Federal com- mander in charge of the troops on the train received information at Horse Cave of the occupancy of Cave City by the Confederates and retired to Mumfordsr villa, thereby strengthening the weak force under Geo. Wilder. On the after- - nnnn l th 1MI IK DnirEUO Derail advance on Mumfordsville and later in the evening the troops saw and heard th .

All night the" soldiers rested on their arms, and before the dan of day the command "Attention)" was whispered down the line. Every man" aroused himself, as quicn as thought cartridge boxes werej brought to the front and the order to "load at will" obeyed. Advancing some 200 or 500 yards up the pike road ine nrigaue uieu hi the loft, pusttiug over an eminence over- looking the town. While the movement to form line oi batue was being ccuted, the Confederate skirmishers were engaged in driving the Federal pickets iuto their breastworks. The Confederate srtillerv rrity s battery) also engaged the but at such long distance that no good was accomplished by them, the guns being smooth bore; but several snow irotu inn opposing siue passed through the Tenth Regiment and one of them injured same three ot four men belonging to Company k. v nen ine regiment Hacbed the loot of the hill and the line formed, the fpmmand was given to chanre. ana soon alter utf cnomy opened a most terruic lira, ine lemn i:ssid- - !nni returned this fire, and in its advance met with many unseen obstacles placed by the enemy. The first obstacle was a worm fencoof fresh-cu- t ttH is and built exceeding ly high. This pasjed over, an entanglement of brush-heap- s and grapevines twisted among the branches of fallen trees was next encountered : these alo successinuy passed, sharpened limbs with points like needles to penetrate the clothes were next overcome, and then came the most ditu- - cuit of all the works of obstruction, the strong and double lines of eVuiu. Here the regiment hesitated, but not until the gallant Smith had fallen with a mortal wound. At the time ne fell he had the colort of the regiment, having taken them from the &snda of the wounded color-beare- r. During ihis charge the most and calling fire ci f mall arms was kept np by the enemy, end the reader will realise . the extent of its severity when fc is stated that in twenty minutes time, besides the killed and great number wounded, every brush-pil- e, the cut limbs, a patch of growing corn and other obstructions were all lev- eled with the ground. When the regiment hesitated at the line of sharpened stakes the command to shelter was passed among the men, and every man sought it . in . any small object that would form some protection, only to re-wi- slight or death wounds. In the 5 chares through the entanglement of vines . . . . . r i i 1 I'M 11 1 jieuu-Ui- i. iu:uiru was -- ineu vy a scrap-ne- l from the enemy's artillery, it tearing out his left side. Also was wounded Capt. George 11. Myers, of Holly Springts, who received a shot through the right lung, but recovered. 'While the Tenth Regiment lay exposed in this terrible situation no protection from the fire of the enemy and the burning sun the Federals enjoyed their safety behind well-bui- lt trenches, their heads protected by head-log- s, making it almost in. possible to harm one of them unless a well-direct- shot penetrated the space between the bead-log- s and the earth- - worKS. nevenueieasjiourieen were aiiiea and wounded. The loss of the brigade in the three hours engagement web forty men killed and 211 wounded, including three field officers. The fight terminated Dy tho Confederates sending in a flag of truce ask ing permission to carry on their dead and wounded. The permission was grant- ed, and soon after the dead had been buried and the wounded all provided for, the brigade retraced its steps to Cave City, and there awaited the furiher ordeis of Gen. Bragg. The return march that night of the defeated and dis- pirited brigade will be remembered as long as there exists a survivor. The cast- - down faces and choked voices, and the solemn tread, all told of the sorrow for the brave and gallant dead and con demnation of the reckless cffiners who exceeded their authority and disregarded the commands of Gen. Brajrg. Arriving at Cave City the regiment rested, until the morning of the Kith, when the brigade and Bragg s army returned to and besieged the forces in Mumfordsville. Thei next day Gen. Wilder surrendered his force of 3500 to 4000 men, about seventeen pieces of ardl-ler- y and fully $1,000,000 of uteres and supplies. The post of honor to receive the surrender and occupy the vacated forts and trenches was given Chalmers's brigade. In the death of Col. bmith a great appre ciation of gallantry and bravery was ex- - l u: ... . i. t' t.':i.i n't... Smith was removed to a residence within the first lines Gen.

On the battlefield of Shiloh the company met its foe face to face for the hrst time on equal ground, and, with the pro ens of the old Tenth and the brigade, drove the enemy from position to position, nntil night closed on one of the greatest victo- ries in war history.

The Crimi nal Court overruled the motion for a new trial in the case of. Meyer Muscovite, con- victed as accessory to the killing of Meyer Friedman, and sentenced the prisoner to the penitentiary for life. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court A great deal of excitement has been caused here the last two days by the attempt of Brad Nichol, colored, twelve years old, to outrage the person of s little white girl of a good family attending the Fogg school. Other children complained that Nichol had beat them over the knnckles with rules whHe returning from school. One little girl showed her fingers badly cut where the negro boy had taken a brass-edge- d ruler away from her and held her finger tips and beat her with the ruler until Jier fiugers were badly bruised and cut Capt Ford Harris, superintend ent of the penitentiary, learning, from his little daughter yesterday that she had been insulted by Nichol, laid in wait for him, and caught him in tho act of knock- ing one of the little girls down, after hav- ing knocked down another. He took the boy to the office of the penitentiary, lec- tured him and let him go. Henry Nichols, the boy's father, got out two warrants from a negro magistrate, one charging Capt Harris with assault and bat tery on his son, the other for false imprisonment Capt, Harris waived examination and gave bonds to eppear at the Criminal Court in both cases. There is the most intense excitement here, as large number of young school girls report that Nichol, and another negro sixteen years old, showed them indignities on previous occasions. This evening Henry and Bradford Nichol laid in wait for Robert Harris, the thirteen-year- - old eon of Capt Harris, who had fought Brad Nichol while assaulting Tabitha Har- ris, Robert's little sister. The Nichols were about to beat Robert Harris when one of the guards at the penitentiary in terfered and drove them away at the paint of his pistol. - water valley, kiss. Grnad Democratic.

The Democrats, Greenbackers and Inde pendents of Yalobusha county have to night been united and cemented in grand Cleveland, Hendricks and Barry ratification meeting, which was addressed in the full spirit of the unification of all hitherto conflicting opinions by H. P. Branham, of Oxford, in one of the most powerful, eloquent- - and logical speeches ever delivered in Mississippi. The City Hall was crowded at an early hour, and the object of the meet ing, to unify the Democrats, Green- backers and Independents into solid Cleveland, Hendricks and Barry party ior tue pending canvass, was explained by M. E. Sullivan. Col. H K. Martin, a prominent Greenbacker, was made c'.iirmaa and James "A. Lockard secretary. Tha whole hrwiao wm mimm- i- 1 imously resolved into a Cleveland, Hen dricks and Barry Club, and loud calls were at oace made for H. P. Branham, nephew of Senator Lamar, who had been invited to address the meeting. Mr. Branham spoke for an hour and s half in terms, style and manner that not only elicited the wildest enthusiasm of his hearers but placed him in the front rank of the first orators of the State and country. The speech was a masterly survey of the political situation as now presented to the whole people of Mississippi, regardless of past differences, had the happy effect of bringing all conflicting elements into a ion club of all the white voters and many colored ones under the banner of Cleveland, Hendricks and Barry. The club will soon number on its rolls nearly every voter in all the north part of Yalo- busha county. Bransham's speech was unanimously pronounced the ablest and best ever delivered at Water Valley.

Tn redaction in the cost of steel hasproceeded so far that a Bteel vessel costsbut little more to construct than an ironone, while ita capacity for freiehtage,speed and length of wear is much greater.This fact will show itself in the gradualdisplacement of the iron ships now afloat.

Refuse cotton is now being used in thecomposition of building: material. It is

ground up with about an equal amount of

straw and asbestos, is converted into apaste, and this is formed into large slabsor bricks, which acquire.it is said, thehardness of stone, and furnish a reallyvaluable building stock.

Robeson, who plundered the Navy

Department; Keifer, thewhom even the Republicans of the Housewere glad to feet rid of, and Dorsey andClayton et id omne genut. Like master,like man.

Ths discovery of petroleum in Indiahas caused quite a sensation there, andboring operations on a large scale will bebegun next autumn near Sibi and llur-na- i.

Mr. Townsend, a petroleum expert,has been commissioned by the Indiangovernment to purchase boring plant, andis now on his way to the United Statesand Canada to secure the moat modernboring machinery.

Expbbimexts at the Edgar ThompsonSteel Works, Pittsburg, last week, dem-

onstrated that manitaaese, superior inquality to that imported from Europe, canbe manufactured in this country. This isthe first manganese ever made in theUnited States. The daily production atthe Edgar Thompson Works is fifty tons,while the highest daily production of Eu-

ropean works is from ten to fifteen tons.

The United States stands second amongcivilised nations in the manufacture of

silk, and promises to lead before long.The value of the silk manufacture of 1880

was $41,033,015, New Jersey leading with$ 17,121,230, while New York followed with$10,170,140, Connecticut $3,881,000, Mas-

sachusetts $3,761,260, and Pennsylvania$3,491,840, the most remarkable increasebeing from 1370 to 1SS0, when it was 250

per cent.

Thiswaste is capable of being introduced asbuilding material in many ways, and readymeans for its application will soon be dis-

covered should its manufacture be carriedon in this country to anything like the ex-

Ths monumont (dedicated yeaterdiv)to Col. Smith and the men of the 'TenthMississippi (Confederate) Infantry whololl with him at Mumfordsville, Ky.,is thetribute of a brother who seeks in this wayto perpetuate the memory of a hero whowas one of thousands who, though foreignto the soil of the South, devoted theirUvea to its independence. Our corre-

spondent, in a very lengthy special, tells

the story of the brave soldier, and recallsthe inciunU of the affair, which, thoughstubbornly contested, ended in a victoryfor the Confederates. A notable andpleasant feature of these dedication serv-

ices was the presence of many Federalofficers who were participant in thememorable encounter, and also of severalrelatives of Mr. Smith, the wealthyScotch merchant And manufacturer, towhom the South la thus indebted for amemorial worthy her consecrated dead.

A great deal of excitement has beencaused here the last two days by theattempt of Brad Nichol, colored, twelveyears old, to outrage the person of s littlewhite girl of a good family attending theFogg school. Other children complainedthat Nichol had beat them over theknnckles with rules whHe returning fromschool. One little girl showed her fingersbadly cut where the negro boy had takena brass-edge- d ruler away from her andheld her finger tips and beat her with theruler until Jier fiugers were badly bruisedand cut Capt Ford Harris, superintendent of the penitentiary, learning, from hislittle daughter yesterday that she hadbeen insulted by Nichol, laid in wait forhim, and caught him in tho act of knock-ing one of the little girls down, after hav-ing knocked down another. He took theboy to the office of the penitentiary, lec-

tured him and let him go. Henry Nichols,the boy's father, got out two warrantsfrom a negro magistrate, one chargingCapt Harris with assault and battery on his son, the other forfalse imprisonment Capt, Harris waivedexamination and gave bonds to eppear atthe Criminal Court in both cases. Thereis the most intense excitement here, aslarge number of young school girls reportthat Nichol, and another negro sixteenyears old, showed them indignitieson previous occasions.
