THE Pace OF THE COMING WooI. CLIP
The Ohio Caltirator for May 1, thus
speaks of the prices Of the coming wool
clip:
The wool buyers approach their work
very cautiously, and we presume prices
will open some 8 or 10 cents lower than
the ruling rates of last year. Many OF
the manufactures need to buy ON timc,
on account Of the difficulty Of aegotia

DOUGLAS AND BRECKINRIDGE.

From The Ch'eaco Denoeyaf, Nor. iS.
Judge Douglas is doing all in his power to suppress
any outbreak 10 his favor candidate for the Pres-
dency in this State but he is evidently pleased with
such outbreaks in other States He is bold in saying
that the South is entitled to the next Presidency and
that it will insist upon it. lie is particularly
upon Cobb Shdel and the other Southern candidates,
except Wise and Breckenridge. But he thinks the d.
visions in Virgnis between Wise and Hunter, and the
general unpopuary of Wise in the Free States owing
to his mpulsiveness will prevent his nomination. He
argues al the time favor Of Breckenridge, but pre-
tends to be uncomnitted.
There was, no doubt, aperfect understanding between
Douglas and Breckiuridge when Breckuridge wrote
his letter in favor OF Douglas to this State, which
letter disorganized the Buchanan party in Illinois:
If the Charleston Convection should come Oh to-
morrow, the vote Of the delegates from this State
would be cast for John G. Brecknrdge. This is the
way Judge Douglas is playing his game now; but it
may be in hopes that by playing into the hands of the
South at FIRST, the South may eventually return the
compliment and go for him. At any rate it is safe to
say that Judge Douglas wishes to make the South
bseve that he is in favor of Southern candidate next
time. 1t is also safe TO say that Mr. Breckiuridge
could not have interfered with Illinois politics unless
upon the assurance that Illinois was to support him
for President,

New-York daily tribune., 1858-11-16

The Indian war in Washington Territory has
been brought to conclusion with most lucky
ano uulooked-for expedition. la all our Indian
experience for the last twenty years there has been
po,hipq like it. And this success is the more
credilsble to the officers concerned in the expedl-
tion flom the fact that operations had to be car
ried on in country far removed from the white
settlements, and of very difficult character. To
Judge by the experience of tae Oregon Indian wars
there was every probability that this contest might
have lasted for three four years at the least, and
drained the treasury Of ten or twelve millions OF
dollars.
Indian fighting ought to be now well over in Cali
fornia Oregon and Washington. The Indians, pro-
voked by the most aggravat,ng aggressions, and by
what they naturally enough regarded as a breach
of faith on the part OF the government, have tried
their strength with the white man. aud have COM
pletely failed. 1t is not likely that they will make
another effort of the kind however multiplied and
provoking may be the meaus employed BY brutality
and avarice 10 provoke them 10 it.
However, the lndian-fghters have still one con.
ISOLATION left, the subsection Of the Indians of
New.Mexico, the impracticabiliiy Of whose coun'
try, though from opposite causes, is almost as
great as WAS that Of the Seminoles may serve, for
twenty years to come, as an exercise for our SOL
dien and drain upon the Treasury.
