OUR SULLIVAN LETTER.

Filial Crse of SUII Stroke—Frightful Runaway—Political, Etc. Sn.iiivAN, Aug. 20, 1872. Fditor of Terre Haute Gaze lie:

The first case of sun stroke that ever occurred in our town took place this afternoou. Stephen Hyatt, who lives in the country some tour or five miles, was in the town to-day, and this afternoon was prostrated by the excessive heat. He went into the grocery store of Mr. John Jem, where he died in a few minutes. It is proper, perhaps, to remark that the man had not the most enviable reputftion tor temperance, and some say he was iihtly inebriated at the time, but Dr. Coffman says there was not the smell of liquors upon his breath. At any rate, he is dead, and with the temperature indicating 98 in the shade, it is generally supposed to be a veritable case of sun Klroke.

Tins afternoon Mr. M. E. Chase, of this town, and an old citizen, and the writer were taking a short ride in the country, and as we were passing the E. & C. R. R. depot the horse took fright and dashed across the track, threw Mr. Chase out of the buggy. He fell on the iron rail of the track and very seriously injured himself. The writer jumped out without injury. "We consider it a very narrow escape. Mr. Chase was taken home in an insensible condition, a physician called, his wounds dressed, and he is now considered nut of danger. The oldest inhabitants pronounce this the most excessively hot weather that has ever been known in this latitude. It is just loo hot for any kind of use.

JS\ ver mind, when Greeley is elected this will all be regulated. We can't expect anything else now, with Grant. He is at Long Branch, fighting it out on that line all summer and what does he care if we poor mortals are all melted with fervent heat, so he enjoys the cool breezes, and is allowed to witness horse races and dog fights.

Samuel Colston is posted for a Grant speech to-night. The Greeley column is marching on no disaffected Democrats here. One Democrat talks of going to the Louisville Convention, but he is such an infinite jest that there ain't anybody believes he is in earnest. Yours,

Foit GREELEY AND BKOWN.

Is there a Limit to Ljing.

Mr. Matthew H. Carpenter, U. S. Senator from Wisconsin, in a public letter to Whitelaw Reid, says of Mr. Greeley

A man who condemned the war prosecuted by the United States for the existence of Hie Union and the perpetuity of our nationality is not likely to favor any other war, no matter upon what ground founded."

Mr. Carpenter did not use these words in the heat of debate he wrote them down deliberately, and with full consciousness of their meaning. He knows that Mr. Greeley was editor of the Tribune throughout the "war" in question —knows that the correspondents of the Tribune and no other journal were kept in close prison by the rebels through years of that war, until they managed to escape just before the collapse of the Confederacy—knows that they had done nothing, and were accused of nothing which warranted this severity, which was avowedly directed against the Tribune alone. "We will not exchange Tribune correspondents," was the uniform answer of the Confederate authorities, who freely and promptly exchanged correspondents of other New York journals captured along with ours. And when the draft riots" broke out in this city they had but two objects of steady, implacable hostility—the negroes and the Tribune.

From the first to the last hour of that war, the Tribune held and taught that the right was clearly and wholly on the side of the Union. Mr. Greeley repeated his demonstration of this truth, not more earnestly but. more methodically, in his hi-tor.v of thestruggleentitled The American Conflict. How, then, can one who has position to maintain, if not reputation to lose, make such public assertions as that of Mr. Carpenter above quoted.— K. Y. Tribune.

BLANTON DUNCAN, ex-Colonel of the ex-Confederacy, was all the lime while serviug iu that capacity loyal to the Government of the United States at least, the Quartermaster General of ti Army so makes him out, the latter officer having passed a claim of fifty odd thousand dollars preseuted by the Great Original Democrat for the use and occupation of his premises by Federal*troops duriug the war. Wonder if this action

i« on the part of the Quartermaster General was hastened, or in any way affected by HX-Colouel Duncan's boast that he could take away eight hundred thousand Democratic votes from Greeley

Miss ISIDORE CAMERON, a well known actress, was secretly married, over a year ago, in New York, to Mr. James Fuller, a nephew of Col. George W. Fuller, manager of the Louisville Opera House. The secret was well kept,but it finally became necessary to reveal it by way of explanation.

THE "straights" held a convention in Detroit on Saturday and nominated a a full couuty ticket. The next day nearlyall their candidates came out with cards in the Dietroit Free Press stating that their names had been used without warrant, and that they had uo sympathy with auy "straight" movement.

MADAME NILSSON-JROUZAUP has written to a friend in New York to say she will return to America at the earliest possible moment.

UACLE TOM'S CABIN.

The Ti ne Story ns Compir- with th.it of Airs. Harriett Beether Stow«*.

1'iicle Toin's Descendants at Indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS, August 1-5, 1872. It will take f'min tlie rouianoe of tlie story of "Uncle Tom's Cabin,'' to know the slender thread of reality upon which it was strung. The "Uncle Tom" who is claimed to be the original of Mrs. Stowe's martyred hero, was a resident of Indianapolis for a long time. He was not only an emancipated slave, living to a patriarchal age, but during the time of his servitude was treated with the greatest consideration and kindness by his master.

His master was the Hon. Thomas Xobie, of Virginia, the late Gov. Noble's lather. At his death, by a special clause of his will, Uncle Tom was emancipated. When it came to a partition of the estate, Gov. Nolle, in the kindness of iiis heart, took Uncle Tom's wife for his share, gave her to her husband, and moved them both out to Indianapolis, where he settled them in a cabin on his farm. The site is the corner of Xoble and Market streets.

UNCLE TOM'S CABIN.

There is nothing left of the old home but the fence the cabin was used as an electioneering dodge in the Fremont campaign, being conspicuously marked "Uncle Tom's Cabin," mounted on a wagon, and transported through the streets in political processions. During the war Mr. Winston Noble, son of the late Governor, received a great many letters from parties in Virginia, New England and elsewhere, who desired, for loveor money, a chip, sliver, or splinter of the precious old cabin, but no vestige, unless I except, the fence, remains. It was probably burned as firewood when thrown aside upon Fremont's defeat. The original fence is not standing, of course, but the one in use was built of some weather boarding of the cabin. For the information of relic hunters and I the public generally, I will state that therw are objects of interest remaining of paramount value to slivers, splinters, blocks, cbincking, and daubing of the old log cabin.

The descendants of Uncle Tom, his veritable t'esh and b'ood, are yet living. They reside in this city, and were it not for the kindness of Winston Noble and his wife would be in a suffering condition. To get to the residence of Uncle Tom's oldest son, Moses McGruder, it is necessary to strike west on Michigan street, to what is called Douglas street, but which is nothing more than a wide alley, such as Pearl and Court streets in the ceuter of town.

A dozen friendly hands point the way to where Uncle Moses McGruder lives. His hoilse is a tumble down frame tenement on the corner of Michigan and Douglas streets. It is composed of a single room, with a loft above the entrance, the only window being on Douglas street. There is a little door yard, entered by a shambling gate iu keeping with the broken down fences. The door of the house is likewise broken, and swings uneasily, rasping against the floor, ou its hinges, with battered cheek, and missing sections of plank letting in nearly as much cold when closed as open. It was open when I drew near, and for that matter stands open the most of the time. It cannot be otherwise for the room is perpetually filled with smoke. Winter and summer it is filled. For a minute or two after entering! could not see for the smoke. I first distinguished the window, to the right of the door, then the stove, in which a few soggy sticks of wood were trying to burn. It was a hard task, for the pipe was broken and there was no draught.

UNCLE TOM, JUNIOR.

In front of the stove was seated an old, old darkey, with a little child three or four y'ears old standing before him. Ii that dark, dismal room, which looked the very abode of poverty and wretchedness, there bloomed the sweet virtues of self denial, hospitality and neighborly kindness. That child was one of two whom the good old man was caring for while the mother went out to day's work. As I entered an old colored man was in advance of me, and I heard his good morning salutation, "Good morning, uncle," and he asked him how hefeit, and if he had parsed a bad night, and I heard him say, "I guess you won't sit out in the sun any more this season."

In the replies there was a thankfulness of tone and manner which put to shame the common ingratitude for streams of mercy never ceasing.

Perceiving a stranger, "Uncle Moses" lifted his hat and made room for me by the bureau, which was iu a corner, and with the men and children, and myself, you can imagine there was no room to spare.

While the old worthies talked I took a survey of the premises. There were two single beds, covered with dingy brown comforts and an old fashioned counterpane. The other articles of furniture were a wardrobe, table, stand, trunk, kitchen utensils, and every one was battered or broken. Upon the wall, which was black with smoRe, were hung a variety of pictures George Washington iu a shell frame, two life insurance posters, a missionary life membership, preseuted by an old citizen, and a Republican campaign chart—Lincoln and Johnson. The floor was bare, save where it was covered with an inconceivable variety of buckets, tubs, pots, kettles, pans, boxes and baskets.

UNCLE TOM'S DAUGHTER.

At this point the door swung open, and a stout colored woman, with a kind, child-like face, appeared ou the threshold. That is my sister Louisa," said Mi ses, introducing me in due form. I made way for her, but she declined, saying she must be "bout" her work. She had stopped work tego to a funeral. iShe would do that, let what would come. She expected to die someday herself, and how could she promise herself any attention if she never went to a funeral No. It was her Christian duty.

Asshe'talked she proceeded to divest herself of a queer-looking, old black siik bonnet, revealing a closely-cropped suit of hair, capped with the snows of age— for it was more than hoar frost, the gray of her locks. Then she took oft her shawl, a sack and a gown, then another gown and sack, and still another gown, until she seemed to have worn as many garments as the disrobing man in the circus. Where she hid them away in a thrice was the wonder, but as suddenly she abstracted a fur-trimmed hood from some mysterious depth, tied it on her head, and a gay peice of Brussels carpet around her waist for an apron, flirted a chair over, placed a tub on it, dashed in the board, and began to wash. What she was to wash was another mystery. I saw her hand her brother a clean handkerchief, and toss his dirty oue into the tub. She made the central figure in the room, taking part in the conversation sometimes, oftener talking to herself She seemed excited by reference to the past.

A COLORED CENTENARIAN.

Moses Mflbruder was dressed in

much worn OTit of black. According to his statement he was born on the 2d of October, 1771, ope hundred years sgo. He

seemed intelligent and spoke more than ordinarily good English. "I was a man grown," he said, "when vre whipped Great Britain. I was in the South when Gen. Jackson sent all the colored people home before he fought the battle of New Orleans. In the last battle the colored folks were in the front, bless the Lord—the last battle for freedom and liberty." "How old was your father, Uncle Tom, when he died?" I asked. "My father was 116 years old. He died seventeen years ago last February, an' he hadn't a gray hair iu his head. Nor I ain't many," he added, lifting his hat and showing a heavy shock of hair. The action also exposed to view a round and tolerably well-shaped head—the forehead being broad and high. The nose and face generally had a depressed look, as if flattened with age. His complexion was genuine African, and his hands were a curiosity. The nails had hardened and grown to a great length, resembling the claws of an animal. "Are you like your father?" I continued. "Edzactly," replied Louisa from the soapsuds. "Jus' as like as two peas. I took care of father—that Uncle Tom— until he'died—jus—as 1 takes care of him now—but he was an ole man"- laughing to herself. "We had a chair fixed on rollers for him, so that a chile could move him outdoors, in the sun, jus' like Mose there."

She mentioned casually how many of her family she had nursed through old age and helplessness unto death, but instead of uttering complaint at her lot, seemed rather to be thaukful for being spared to the loving task.

SEVENTEEN TIMES SOLD AS A SLAVE. Here Moses resumed his story. He was sold as a slave seventeen times. "When I was fifty years old I bought my own body. I paid $1,200 for my own body," speaking in a tone of exultation. "When I fus' come here the chillen would all cry and run away when they saw me. It made me feel bad. They had heard 'bout the devil, and when they saw me they thought he had come. I was sold over and over again seventeen times, and hired out to every devilish man besides, but I never had a lick from a white man in my life. When I parted from my father he said to me, 'Now Moses, my son, always mind your own busine s, and let other people 'tend to their own business, and you will never get into trouble.' I found that was so but I had plenty of tribulation. You see, when my old master died I was left to the girls, and they disputed about who should have me. I told them to cut me up in four quarters, that would settle wnich one I belonged to, each one could take a piece. 'No, you fool, you they said, 'then you wouldn't do anybody any good.' Now it was different with my father. He was freed by our master then our master's son freed my mother and brought them to this State. My father was always kindly treated by Col. Noble and by Gov. Noble, and now his son takes care of us he pays our rent. Those Nobles were God's gentlemen. "How many were you in familyUncle Tom's children, 1 meau "My father was married more than once. By my mother he had twenty-four children." The assertion was sostartling that I asked him to enumerate the children, which he proceeded to do, assisted by Louisa, who suspended operations at the wash tub. "Don't speak too fast," she said, seeing that I was noting it down.

He began, "There's Moses, (that'sone) oue, Aaron's two, Isaac is three, Edmund is four, Wesley five, Jerry six. Them's the boys.

Now for the girls. Lucy was one, Minty two, Pamela three, -Maria four, Mary five, Lavina six, Louisa seven." "Six boys and seven girls," I remarked," I remarked. "That is not twenty-four. That's thirteen." "Rest born dead," he answered .-enteniously. "Auy twins?" "Two sets of them. They was born dead, too. There was twenty-four of us in all, counting the dead ones."

SPOILED THE YOKE.

Here Moses laughed and said, VI was thinking of that old nigga 'bout here in •early day, whose wife had twins, and oue night he overlaid one of them—and he said, didn't mind so much, but it spoiled the yoke." "How many of your family ar#left?" I resumed. "There's me, old Moses—I had a wife and cWldren, but they're all gone— there's me, and there's Louisa, theoldest and the youngest of the McGruder stock. The rest are dead." "I nursed them all 'till they died," Aunt Louisa repeated, 'an I'll take care of you, brother," wiping her eyes. "We have a sister living in Canada," bethought Moses "she's many years younger than me, but she looks older, don't she Louisa?"

Louisa nodded assent and he settled back in his chair. "Did Mrs. Stowe ever talk with Uncle Tom?" I asked. "Yes, a good deal. She visited her brother, Henry Ward Beecher her I mind. I use' to wash for Mrs. Beecher. Many's the extra quarter she has slipped into my hand unbeknown to him. Not that he wasn't kind, too. He somtimes gin me a quarter unbeknown to her. They were not rich" folks then. They were both mighty good to us. As for that story book she wrote, she did not tell half the truth, only Ihe might have said the bad hearts ain't all on t'other side of the river. They are jus' as bad here." "Don'ttalktothischile,"said an old woman who had slipped in during our conversation. I was a slave in Kentucky. I was hired out to a preacher who hired women to work because be got them for'ess wages than men. Pie hired seven of us, and every Sunday morning he used to strip and flog us, if he did not abuse us worse. Every one of us had a chile by him, and then he would make us go to church and take love feast with us, the old sinner. He's gone to torment long ago."

We took a book store on our route home, and asked for "Uncle Tom's Cabin." "Just out," was the reply. "It sells all the time, right along.'-'

I recalled to miud that half a million copies were sold within a year of its publication, and that it was translated into a confusion of tongues. Then I narrowed down its readers to those within the rnugeof ray pen, and beg leave to call their attention from imaginary pain and sorrow to old age, weak from hunger and shivering with cold. My pen is poiuted at the real need crying for help, while fictitious miseries are went over. Would it not be practical sympathy for each reader and admirer of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" to give a little something toward lifting thejiliildreu of UnclCs Tom above want?

ALL the known volcanoes in the world seem to be simultaneously "on a burst." The volcano of Merapi, in Japan, which has been quiet ever since 1863, recently broke out in great fury, burying a number of villages, filling up the ravines, and checking the course of rivers, besides destroying a frightful number of inhabitants.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.—Private letters speak hopefully of a speedy settlement of disputes between prominent Republicans.

JACKSONVILLE, III., August 27.—The hog cholera is prevailing to a considerable extent in Green and Jersey counties and a number of farmers have suffered heavy losses by the ravages of this disease.

The thermometer yesterday indicated 104° and 105°. CARLFNVILLE, III., August 27.—Wm. H. Fishback, Sheriff of Macoupin county, committed suicide by shooting himself through the head, from the effects of which death ensued in a short time. The deed was committed in his office. Deceased was under a fit sickness at the time. He was the Republican nominee for re-election, and was one of the most popular men in the party. His funeral was attended by a large concourse of citizens.

CHICAGO, August 27.—Col. Higgins, a wealthy and respected farmer, residing at Winnetka, Cook county, was found dead near his house ou Sunday morning, having received a number of shots in his body and his head being badly crushed as with some heavy blunt instrument.

What Ought to be Done.

There are no doubt Liberals and Democrats enough in the United States to elfct Mr. Greeley President in November. Whether they will do it or not is another question, the answer to which depends almost as much upon the manner in which they conduct the campaign as upon their numerical strength. It is certain that the Liberals and Conservatives for instance, have a large majority in North Carolina but their opponents there were admirably organized, audi brought their whole strength to bear so effectively that if they could not secure a genuine victory they at least saved themselves from rout. Elsewhere the preparations of the Administration party have been equally thorough, and they have the great advantage of controlling all the patronage and other influence of the Government. Ou our side too much trust has been placed upon the "popular uprising" and "enthusiasm" for Greeley, and the "generous impulse" for peace and fraternity, and "revolt" against Rings and corruption and our friends seem to imagine that they can sit still and let the Libera! movement sweep the country. They must understand that the Administration is not going to be changed by an earthquake. They must work for success. It is in politics as it is in war the battle is not always to the biggest army, but rather to the best drilled. Our campaign is to be short and sharp, and we are likely to be beaten unless we do more than we are doing now to get our men into the field and secure recruits from among the wavering and dissatisfied. We say, then, to the friends of the Liberal cause 1. Don't wastej all your strength on paradse. Bar ^ers, bonfires, cannon and torchlight pro*. sious are very well in their way, but 3y don't make voters. They only amust *.he men who would vote for your candy \te anyhow. 2. Don't rely tow viuc'h upon public meetings. T-iey are, ine-sided affairs, which neither deV'^P your own strength nor influenced, followers of the opposite party. 3. Don't re'y too much upon circulars. Very few voters read them. Tney are used for kindling and shaving paper. Besides, the Grant party has abused the system to such an extent that a man distrusts whatever comes to him iu that shape. 4 Don't waste your money on Campaign Chowder Clubs, and other frauds. This is a great season for impecunious political suckers. Be as civil as you please, but show them the door. 5. Organize the party thoroughly by districts, in every city, village and township of the United States. If there is no local organization where you live, get together a few of your neighbors and form one. 6. As soon as a club is formed appoint active canvassers to visit every house. Tiius every man who believes in the principles of our party can be enrolled, and the wants of every district can be ascertained. 7. Have district meetings at regular times, so that the spirit and interest of the members may be sustained by association. Never mind gatherings for buncombe, but meet often for business. Put your clubs into communication with the county or State associations, and report to headquarters your needs, your progress and your strength. 8. Do these things at once. Begin your local clubs to-day. The opposite party is active aud well disciplined, and we are not. We have a great deal of lost time to make up, and only a little while to do it in. With energetic and well directed effort, our victory iu Noremer is certain but the prize will be snatched from our hands if we do not rouse ourselves in season.—N. Y. Tribune.

THE diamond fever ia subsiding. The exploring party who departed for the diamond fields have returned, disappointed in their search for the precious stones, but elated over the discovery of rubies, gold-bearing quartz, oil wells, ancient ruins, relics, and woven cloth, which they claim to be centuries old. It's all very well for the company to eome down gracefully and by degrees, and we await wita some curiosity the tijgeoveries the next explorers will repojrt,

SOME of the New York journals are aruruing that the half-price system of European theatres misrht profitably he introduced into that and other large cities of this country. By this system, after a certain period of a theatrical performance, the rates of admission are reduced. It is contended that many persons who are detained by other engagement's in the early part of the evening would willingly drop in for the concluding parts of a plav or opera at half rates, while they would be unwilling to pay full prices for only a partial enjoyment of apiece. The question is whether it is more profitable to keep seats unoccupied throughout th-1 entire evening on the risk of getting full rates, or to sell them for part of an evening at lower prices.

FINK needle work embroidery is preferred to Valenciennes lace and applique embroidery for infant's clothing. It is considered more substantial, and the laundry work is sooner done, and at less cost. Consequently, slips, robes, petticoats, skirts and cloaks, are all more or less ornamented with fine embroidery.

PAYMASTER TUTTLE, of the Lackawanna, has been detailed as astronomer of the surveying force in the Pacific, under the command of Commodore Skerrett. The object of the expedition is to survey such parts of the Pacific as may be necessary to make a perfect chart for the use of ships.
