THE FLORIDA WAR.

All things considered this has been almost
rs disastrous war as that of 1879 with
Great Britain. The principal distinguishing
trait, however, between the two wars, is TO
be found in the fact, that in the war Of 1912,
our arms were nearly every where victorious
and shed upon our country n halo of glory
which at once placed us on footing with
the most renowned and powerful nations Of
the earth-while in the existing war against
a mere handful Of Indians, we have not only
met with disaster upon disaster, but the honor
Of the country itself has been tarnished by
the most hagrant and deliberate violation Of
flag of truce, and the base entrappng of
the poor Indian who relied upon the honor of
an American general when he was openly
warning against American policy.
With regard to the cost Of this war, grow
| ing out Of the miserable manner in which it
has been conducted by the administration,
and the low intrigues which were encourag-
cd by it to effect change in the command
ing general, we have only to remark, that
last year the expenses of the war were nearly
or quite equal to the expenditures of any
year Of the war Of 1912. But perhaps the
waste of public money in this disgraceful
warfare, may be rendered more strikingly
apparent by the mention Of the fact, that
every Indian captured or killed, has cost the
government upwards Of one hundred thousand
dollars! The whole number thus disposed
Of, does not exceed 400, while the expenses
Of the war already exceed forty millions dol
lars! And this expenditure has been incur
red in driving a handful OF Indians from q
Territory which originally cost US six mil
hons Of dollars, and which was dear even at
that price, except that il was necessary in a
NATIONAL point Of view, to extinguish the title
OF Spain to this part Of our coast. The truth
is, we have been in utter ignorance of the
topography Of the Peninsula Of Florida, and
now that we have acquired knowledge Of it
by an enormous expenditure and the sacrifice
Of the national honor and hundreds Of lives,
we should profit by the experience thus dear
ly purchased, and give it up entirely to the
Indians, instead Of attempting to drive them

MOVING OF THE PEoPLE.-The people Of
the City Of New York are moving on the
subject Of the sub-treasury project, now
pending in the Senate. The mechanics
without distinction Of party, opposed to the
scheme, held a meeting at the National Hall
in Canal street, on Tuesday evening. An
other meeting Of all classes and professions,
opposed to this "stupendous crowning act of
government experimenting upon the cur
rcncy," is to be held this evening. Would
it not be well for the opponents to this cor
rupt project to call meetings every where
against it!

from il. There can be longer doubt but
the interior of the country IL uninhabtable
except by the Indian and the negro, and in
stead Of attempting to conquer it from them
and insisting upon their removal west Of the
Mississippi we should give up this country
forever to the Creeks, the CAerokees, and the
!Seminoies, and thus guard against the daily
increasing danger OF throwing these jissa,ls-
fed and half civilized Tribes among the
Savages on our Western frontier, where,
sooner or later, they will give us an immense
deal Of trouble, and lay waste the fairest
portion Of our territory.-[N Y. Cour. 4 Enq
