NORTHEASTERN Recommendations correspond
ence which has taken place between Mr. Forsyth and
Mr. Fox, in reference to the occupation Of the disputed
territory by British forces was communicated to Con-
rress on Monday last. Mr. Forsyth calls the attention
Of The British Minister 10 report made By the agent
OF the authorities Of Maine, III which there is state
mcnt of the number of troops the ground and the
preparations for the accommodations of others which
making very widely differing from the representa-
tons gwen othe subject by Mr. Fox in lis note OF the
10Th of January. These extensive preparation the
buildings which have been erected, and IN the process
OF construction, both on land and the water, he says,
not in harmony with the assurance that the only
object ofthese movements is the preservation of few
unimportant buildings and stores used for tn" proec
ton of her Majcstys troops their ordinary service.
The importance of the subject, obviously demands a
prompt reply.
In the of Mr. Fox, he says that the report of
the agent of Maine is exaggerated and erroneous in
many respects. The military detac hment stationed at
Lake Temiscoua, does not comprise more than one
hundred and seventy-iiyc men This number Is not
greater than has occupied the ground since the
winter of 1887 and '3S, when the necessity arose for
marching reiniorcemcnts, by that route from New
Brunswick TO Canada while it should be remembered
that temporary rig hit of using that route for the same
purpose expressly reserved to Great Britain IN the
provisional agreement entered into at the beginning OF
last year.
With regard TO the construction of barracks and
9th h,rilr al
state of repair and Defence he says that degree OF
error and misrepresentation appears to prevail III the
minds of the American authorities.
The erection of those buildings within the portion OF
the disputed Territory referred TO for the shelter
of her Macstys troops while their march, and for
the safe lodgmcnt of the stores,sIs no new act on the
part Of the British authorities The buildings IN qucs-
ton have been in the course OF construction from
period aneceden to the provisional agreements OF last
year, and they maintained and occupied along
the line of march, with view to the objects above
specified
Mr. Fox concludes by assuring Mr.. Forsyth that the
British authorities have not yet altered their state OF
preparation, heightened their military means with
in the disputed territory with view TO settling the
question of the boundary although the attitude assumed
by the State o.. Maine, with reference to that question,
would be clear Justification of such measures, while
it is to be unprecedented that the adoption Of such
surcs will or later become indispensable, If the
people of Maine be compelled to dess. from the eX

IadianS-Wc learn that Capt. GARDINER, with an Of
fcer and Is men, fell in with trail of Indians at the
Calico Hills near Magnolia, and followed it, fell into
an ambuscade, his party fred on and the officer
killed. The Indians in superior force, and the
men rereated leaving the officer on the ground
The bloodhounds seem TO be doing good business
Information from Middle Florida states that two OF the
dors followed up Indian trail recently. and caught
one Indian. They throttled him, threw him down and
secured him. The Indian, on being relieved from his
perlous situation told the men who had charge of the
dogs, to keep on and they would find more Indians
which il is said they did, and captured four morc-This
latter is certain That Indian has been caught
BY means of dogs, is certain.

Successful Effort of nc Bloodhounds.- Within a few
days, Major Loomis, U. S. A. has captured an Indian
on the Wacassassa by means Of our excellent Cuban
auxiliaries II done in very handsome style, and
so delicately that the most squeams of the Northern
svmpathizers might have been delighted to witness it.
When the "ral" was struck and followed for some
Time the dogs became very impatient OF the lcnsh and
by sudden bound broke loose from their keepers and
dashed away in gallant style The troops followed on
~ l.. tl,o
scene of action, where the noble dogs (2) had oored
gigantic savage, and held him on the ground without
appearing disposed to do him farther injury.
The means certainly discovered of ending
the in good earnest, and almost without blood
shed, and it is sincerely hoped that the Government
will immediately procure two three hundred dogs
for the purpose of producing such moral effect on the
savages, will induce them at to surrender IL
made certain that 1000 men, with 100 dogs will
accomplish more than I0, 900 without them. A much
smaller force will be sufficient to end the war, and
countless millions will be saved to the country fa suf
fcient number of dogs can be procured The Indian
thus put hors du combat wretchedly frightened,
and coming to his usual equanimy, offered with the
honesty of his tribe TO conduct the 'sgaant dogs to
where party Of FIVE more red skins were encampcd.

THE BLooDHouSDs.-The Wings in Congress are
making political capital of the importation of the 80
boodhounds by order of Gov. Cali in December last
and reader, you believe it, the old and gran
MES at the North aiding them with their petitions
to Congress. What bugbear Has it come to this:
Can it be humanity, that the savage may MURDER burn
down. Destroy roam the country al WILL seeking whom
he may devour, bring death, and cruelty in his train
spare neither age sex, and must not be punished
because perchance he may be brought condign pu-
nishment BY means of dogs' Out upon such humanity
