The above answer has become a most e.
miliar phrase among our people, and is consider
ed sufficient reply to all demands for a. settle
ment Of existing liabilities between the planter
and these to whom be may be indebted; and orga-
nized as the business Of this country is, in relation
to the subject of credit which looks to an adjust
ment ofthe afairs of the current year at or about
New Years. or during the cotton selling season,
the sale of Cotton is the great lever upon which
the whole matter turns and as long as the plan
ters cropremans in his gin house or stored in the
warehouse it is not expected that the owner can
respond to tho demands ofhis creditors. Very
grave questions may however arise as to what ex-
tent the planter is justified on the score Of policy,

WAR AT LAsr-The long-oxpected war mes
cage has at length been sent up to Congress
ond Wall street is buoyant. II Is not the ap-
pretended war with Spain, England and France
thatis called for, but war against the Indians
the Sioux the Pawnees, the Black Feet, the
Crows, the Snakes, and other warlike tribes in
Testing the overland route to Oregon and Cali
fornia. Good. The ambition of the admins
tration has thus descended to the level of its
capacities. We now remember that some time
ago Gen. Harvey received leave of absence
from the Wer Department for the tonr of Eu.
rope, with especial ipjunctions that he should
not stray off to Silistria or Sebastopol. Now.
we understand he has been sent for, his servi-
Gee being required at home. The General will
return, perhaps, foil Of ambitious speculatons
concerning grand invasion Of Cuba, or o mili-
tary descent upon Hayti, or bloody campaign
among the swamps and malaria Of tho Mosqui-
to coast, only to find himself detailed to the
Western plains to look after the Snakes and the
Crows. But IL is well-it is o godsend, that
failing in foreign war, we can still fall back
upon the Indians. What relief to the war
riors Of our Cabinet Let the return of Scale
be signalzed by vigorous campaign against
the Indians lis better than the Kinney ex.
petition. Read the war message

PAGE, BACON & Co.--The letter signed by
several Californiaus now sojourning in this
city, to Mr. Henry d. Bacon, watch we publish
in another column, is q merited tribute to
worthy man. It is adversely that brings out
our true friends, and we trust the eloquent ap-
peal made by Californians to Californians will
be universally responded to. On this side Of
this broad continent public confidence in
Messrs. Page d Bacon, of St. Louis, and Page,
Bacon Co., of San Francisco, is not impaired
an iota, and we do not for o moment believe
that on the other side-on the great western
slope-there will be wanting stout hearts aud
strong hands to avert any blow that may be
hurled at them

The FRENCH Mission Nh. DN.-We are
not informed Of the condition of Mr.. Mason's
health by the last steamer; but we presume
that, il he RECEIVERS, he will find it necessary,
with view to his perfect restoration, to resign
bis office of Minister to France. In that event,
we should like to know from chiefs of the Gus
tom House, whether they intend to urge the
appointment of Governor Seymour over the
head Of Mr.. Dix, or not. After waiting through
a whole summer, ia the swcat-house of the sab
treasury, for this mission; and after having
given way once to the clsmor Of the Richmond
Junta, is Mr.. Dix again to be set aside? viii
John Van Buren, consent to it? Will Marcy?
For our part, since the notorious failure Of the
Ostend programme, since the recall Of Soue
at his own request, thoroughly disguised
with Marcy, we are satisfied that it is too late
for any man to accomplish any thing at Paris
that would "redound to the glory of the ad-
ministration" Willie may be more hopeful.
Where is Willie? And what of the foe pro-
misses to Mr.. Dix?
