VIND1cATIoN OF TIE INDIANA REGIMENT
The New Orleans Delta, of the 18th ultimo
publishes letter from Colonel Lane, refu-
ting the charges relative to the alleged mis-
conduct Of one of the Indiana regiments, at
the battle of Buena Vista. confirming the
statement heretofore made by Gen. Lane,
who commanded the brigade. The first
Indiana regiment was posted on the Rio
Grande, the second was on the extreme left
of the line Of battle. and the third on the ex-
treme right The latter, Colonel Lanes
regiment never hesitatcd for a sing instant
and at the termination of the battle, BIZ
vonacked with the most advanced portion
OF the army. The Colonel declares that
none fought better. They were brought INTO
action at moment when the day seemed
extremely critical, and were victorious in
every engagement. In his opinion they
twice saved the fortunes of the day. He
also vindicates the first and second regiments
from the same chafges.
Capt Lincoln was not killed while rallying
the Indianans. but when in the act of de-
livering orders from General Wool, in front

DEATH OF RoBBER.-We find in the

"He had been resident of that place for

near his end he hired two men to bury him
in his clothes, just as he died; contract
which was not fulfilled on their part in con-

We stated some time since, that we did moi
exactly understand the condition Of Affairs in
this country. We have endsavored sincs to in
form ourselves, and proceed to give the result Of
our inquiries.
| Switzerland is formed into twenty-five c,n-
tons. Each canton has one vote, or delegate, in
the Diet; and this Diet is the Government OF
the country.
The inequality Of representa- oil is very great.
Berne hes "A population Of $4,000; Zurich,
100000; Uri, $1,000. Yet they have all equal
power in the Diet.
Each canton is a sovereignty, and three Of
them, Basic, Appenzcll; unterwslien, are dv-
ded into two half cantons each, which are also
independent The two halves Of Basic, town
and country, and Of Appenzell, Inner RhodeIl,
tally. Thus these cantons--hsving only on.
vote--neutralize each other in the Diet.
Switzerland contains 2,400, 900 people; of
these 900, 600 are Catholics the rest Professionals
The members of the Diet are representatives
Of their cantons; they are not independent, bu:
obey instructions. They are given some times 4.
discretionary power; but not often. The re-
preventative votes as deputy; he speaks as coun.
sci, for his canton.
The Diet, or Federal compact, is for general
purposes, eaUi ~a"'vn a...'.!- a. home ,ffsi-s.
and the Diet has no right to interfere with
them. There can be no action in the Govern
ment except that action be unanimous. And
from this cause springs all the political troubles
Of Switzerland.
On the Goth August last majority, including
twelve cantons, and two half cantons, declared
that the separate league Of seven cantons, called
the Sonderbund was violation Of the Federal
pact, AMI directed its dissolution These can
tons--Lucerne, Fribourg, Schwytz, INTERVAL
den, Uri, Zug, and yslais-refused TO obey the
order Of the Diet.
Asyet no steps have been taken 10 enforce the
order. Ausfria undertook to supply the Sender
bund with ammunition and arms; but they were
detained at Tessin, and have been sequsstered by
order Of the Diet. In addition, the Diet has
warned the seren cantens TO cease making mill
tary preparations, has expelled certain officers,
&c. &c. Still the Sonderbund continues TO arm
In this state of affairs, Foreign Powers have
attempted to interfere; but with coed result.
The Swiss are jealous. They distrust all the
Powers around them. They will not submit to
interference. Will there beeivil warl The as
pect is threasning. But we think the present
troubles of Switzerland will lead to consultation
and a revision Of their Federal Pact, and the en-
Enlistment of a Government, having unity of
design, and the central power TO give force and
influence to Swiss NATIONALITY. We hope, at
least that this will be the end of all their pres
ent troubles.

The Charleston Is. Co. News talks after this
fashion:
"The Southern Democracy have little real

Of party expediency, but none Of permanent
connection between them. The Democrats Of

with anti-eocial tenets and the doings of ultra

Rev. Dr. CraiI.-A Geoa sneyc.

This able clergyman, and most estimable citi-
zen, moved, in the General Episcopal Conven-
ton, now in session in New York, "to enquire
into the expediency of amending Canon 6 Of
le44, relating to the admission of persons TO the
order Of Deacons who have not received col
legiate education" and made AN earnest speech
on the subject.
The spirit Of the speech was manly and
christian. DIR. Craik thought the rule unsuited
to our age and country. IL might suit the no.
bility Of England, but not the masses. hwould
meet the wants Of the uppor ten thousand in
New York city; but it could not supply those Of
the four hundred thousand. Ii could be made

certainly-from the masses-from the hard and
sars6ned yeomen, Yet this rule looked to the
wealthy only, who, said the Doctor, as general
rule, "only became communicates because il
was respectable TO DO So"
The resolution referred 10 the committee
on Canons. We hear, from private sources,
that DIR. Craik's effort Was powerful one, and
commanded the most marked attention during
its delivery. We hope he will succeed, and i'm
