The New Orleans National, in its sketch
Of Col. Doniphan's late remarkable expedi.
ton. gives the following:
''The Navajo Indians are warlike peo-
pie. have no towns or lodges; they live in
the open air or on horseback, and are
remarkably wealthy, having immense
herds Of horses, cattle, and sheep. They
are celebrated for their intelligence and
good order. They treat their women with
great attention, consider them equals, and
relieve them from the drudgery Of mental
work. They are handsome, well made and
in every respect highly civilized people,
being as nation, Of a higher order of
beings than the mass Of their neighbors,
the Mexicans.
About the time Col. Doniphan made his
treaty, a division Of his command was
entirely out Of provisions. and the Nava-
jos supplied his wants with liberality.
A portion of the command returned to
Cuyano. Maj. Gilpin's command toge-
Their with Col. Doniphan, went to the
city Of the Sumai Indians living on Rio
Piscow, which is supposed to be branch
Of the Geyla, made atreaty Of peace be-
tween the SumaIs and Navajos, and then
returned to the Rio del Norte.
"These Sumais, unlike the Navaios,
live in city, containing probably, 5000
inhabitants who support themselves en-
rely by agriculture.
"The city is one of the most extraor-
binary in the world. 1t is divided into
four solid squares, having but two streets
crossing lis centre at right angles. All
the buildings are two stories high, COM
posed OF sun burnt brick The first story
presents solid wall to the street and is
so constructed that each house joins, until
the one fourth of the city may be said to
be one building. The second stories rise
from this vast solid structure, SO as to
designate each house, leaving room to
walk upon the roof of the first story
between building. The inhabitants of
Sumai enter the second story Of their
building by ladders which they draw up
at night, as defence against any enemy
that might be prowling about. In this
city we 30 Albino Indians, who have,
no doubt given rise to the story that there
is living in the Rocky Mounteinsa tribe
of white aborigines. The discovery of
this city Of the Sumais will afford the
most curious speculations among those
who have SO long searched in vain for
city of the Indians who possessed the
manners and habits of the Aztecs. No
doubt. we have here race living as did
that people when Cortez entered Mexico.
1t is remarkable fact that the Sumsis
have since the Spanish left the country
refused to have any intercourse with the
modern Msxicans, looking upon them as
an inferior people. They have also driven
from among them the priests and other
dignitaries, who formerly had power over
.hen, and assumed manners oil their own,
their Great chiefor Governor, being the
civil and religious head.
The country round the city of Sumai is
cultivated with erea! deal of care, and
affords food not only for the inhs bltants,
but for large hocks of cattle and sheep"

Pickies.-A correspondent OF the New
England Farmer gives an easy aud etiica-
cious method of picking cucumbers,
which he learned from an old sea captain
in the West Indies.
The receipt is very simple, and the SUI
periority of pickles cured 10y It's direc-
tons has been tested by many years ex.
perience. They are neither affected by
age or climate. The following is the re-
ceipt:
To each hundred of cucumbers put a
pint Of salt, and pour in boiling water suf-
tcient 10 cover the whole. Cover them
tight to prevent the steam from escaping,
and in this condition let them stand "a
hours. They are then TO be taken out and
after being wiped perfectly dry, care be-
ing taken that the skin is not broken,
placed in the jar in which they are to be
kept. Boring vinegar If spice is to be
used it should be boiled with the vinegar
is then 10 be put to them, the jar closed
tight, and in fortnight delicious hard
pickles are produced, as green as the day
they were upon The vines.
