Th? N. Y. J/rrafJ thus burlesques the regular
army atjla of carrying on tha Indian war :
"Lieutenant Boaaparto chased Spotted Tail
three hundred milea towards Walrusaia, but his
horse giviog out no captures wore made ex
capting a squaw mid three sick men." "A body
of Apaohes were repulsed by Captain Welliugton,
near Bosquo Redondo, with a loss of
five killed on our aide. It is thought that the
Indian loan was heavy, as they left a number
of bowB and arrows on (be field, an well as a
few muskets sold to them byour Indian agents."
It criticiscs f>en. Sherman's suggestion to
make the volunteers subject to the ordinary
army routiuo and proposes the following mode
of making the congest short, sharp, and de
ciaiv*;
We are certain tliat the war would lie finished
in sixty days if the matter wero left entirely
in the lianda of the Governors of the
different Territories. They would organize
their fleet footed and hardy frontiersmen into
the beet Indian fighters,and if a scalp or two
were taken with the ears on, it would be only
a just retaliation upon the cut-throats who do
not hesitate to laugh at a Quaker policy they
cannot appreciate. If Indians are not mndo to
feel the effect of our blown it is hotter not to
deal them. If there is no other way to meet
a prairie fire except with firs, then let us have
fire, and have it quickly; but wo want it in
the sturdy, active and irresistible style in which
our Territories can give it, not in the interminable
and snail like method of the regular
army, which, if Indian scalps with tho enrs on
were two hundred thousand dollars each, wouU
not earn their salt by hunting for th?m. W<

Iceei may be found all along our frontiers win
will take a contract to keep tho Indians quic
for the next generation at one-tcuth the prici
that the government expends in its futile at
tempts. It roust be conceded, from all pis
experience, that it is impossible to close ou
Indian war in the regular array style, unless a
enormous expense. Let it be left to the Gov
ernors of Territories, and let General SlieT
man issue an order, if the jealousies of th
regular army will permit it* giving every vol
nnteer battalion a loving commission to fight i
Indian style. The Indians will then be prompi
]y subjected to ebedience.

dence in the capabilities of tho African race i
et forth in tho following extracts:

Tuk Futi'rk or Cotton.?A coimncrcinl
firm received a letter from a Manchester (Rag.)
correspondent, who gives tho following conclusions
in reference to the future supply of cotton
:
Manchester, (Eng.,) June, 1807.
It appear* to me that we are entering upon a
new state of affairs, which must bo taken into
account:
1. The immense losses of tho IubI two seasons
have canned those that still stand up to
be more cautious, and have completely used
up tho wild speculators and their special sup
porters line several uaiikn) on both sides 01 itie
wat?r.
2. The 6U|>ply of the raw material is larger
than was at fu st expected.
3. The probability tlmt there is now on this
aide a fair prospect, of 2,500,000 for npxt your.
4. The substitution of woolen aiul linen
goods in lieu of cotton, which it will take some
time to change again.
6. The general impression that cotton, as
well at everything, is too high, and must come
down iu price beforo consumption can ultnin
its farmer proportions.

accountof the execution of Maximilian. Mira

or any indignity offered, as reported.
Maximilian, before being shot, recapitulated
the causes which brought liiin to .Mexico; denied
the authority of the court which sentenced
him ; hoped his blood would stop the effusion
of blood in Mexico. Miratnon epoke from paper
; the only regret he full war dying an he
was; should the Liberals remain in power,
hie children would be pointed at as the children
of a traitor. Mejia made no address
Maximilian called the sergeant of the guard
gave him a handful of gold; and requested, as
a favor, for hiui to aim at his heart; live ball
