The Governor of Florida has issued a call for
more volunteers to exterminate that redoubtable
Indian, BILLY BowLEGs That the volunteers will
be forthcoming do not doubt, but that BowLEGs
will be exterminated we think exceedingly improb-
able. The fact is and herein lies the explanation
Of that interminable war waged against the willy
Seminole the death or capture Of BowLEGs would
by a serious calamity to the people of Florida We
do not know how many thousands of dollars il
has cost the Republic TO carry that war; but we
do know that during its continuance innumerable
colonies, majors captains and leutenants of volun-
teers, have been fed clothed and supported at the
expense OF the nation, and that various bills have
been paid by Government ''for losses sustained.
and expenses incurred whose aggregate amount
will represent to fraction the precise value OF
BowLEGs to the people of Florida If the old chief
tain should unfortunately be killed, there would
be no more golden eggs; and we have no fear,
therefore, of his dying other than a natural death
In this connection we may add that Oregon too,
has her little bilf' of expenses 'on account of In
dian hostilities, and that Texas and New Mexico
each require the services of an additional regiment
of mounted troops for the protection of their from
tiers. We have an idea that the object in view, il
that object be cessation of Indian hostilites
would be quite as efiectually accomplished by rails,
ing body of troop for the protection of the In
dians from the emigrants and settlers Everybody
familiar with border history and pioneer life
knows the precise value to set upon the life of an
Indianit is to be rated entirely according to the
skill of the marksman within the range of whose
rifle the unhappy savage may chance to come
Where there are no courts and sheriffs, murder
ceases almost to be regarded as a crime particular
ly if the victim be an Indian. Upon the plains
and frontiers, the whole red-skinned race are view
ed in the light of game, whom every emigran
travelling the overland route to California, ol
seeking a home in our western wilderness feel
privileged to hunt down at leisure if not absolute
ly bound to shoot at sight. Our Indian troubles
have almost always been provoked by acts o
wanton aggression on the part of the whites
while, as in the case of the Florida war, they hay
invariably been perpetuated by their cupidity

The Crescent and the Gross.

From all appearances, war of determination
is brewing between Mahometans and Christians
in every country where the former are found
The antipathy of Mahometans to Christians was
the cause of the revolt in Iadia. The same feel
ing led to the massacre at Jidda, and to all
the outrages which have since been perpetrated
in Syria and Turkey. The last European steam
er reports also that the Vice Consuls of Spain
and France in Morocco have been assassinated,
while the Turks in the island of Gambia, have
again made such a display of hostility that it
was feared the massacre of the Christians was
intended. In the mean while the power of the
Turkish Sultan is rapidly declining. The Allies
have endeavored to support him by means of
loans to the amount of $19T 100000, but as the
public debt of Turkey amounts to 1927, O00,0 900,
without any prospect of paying it of, cricis
must come soon. A few more outrages, and the
Turks will be driven from Europe and the do
minion of the Crescent everywhere overthrow.

Time and ploco

The Democratic State Central Committee met
at Richmond on Tuesday last, and fixed upon
Petersburg as the place and the End of Deem
Der as the time for holding the Convention for
nominating a candidate for Governor. Tie
Valley Democrat, at Harrisonburg, pronounces
the selection of Petersburg "a most fragrant out
rage upon three-fourths of the State" Our
friends of the Vindicator are also dissatisfied,
and say shat not more than half the counties
west of the Blue Ridge will be represented,
and not one fourth of those west of the Allie
ghany."

We spent day in Richmond during the pro-
gress of the Fair. The exhibition of Horses and
Cattle was equally as good, ifnot superior to
any we have seen on previous occasions, but in
some of the other departments there was man,
ifest falling off. Among the distinguished per-
sons present on the occasion were Lord Napier,
Hon. Caleb Cushing, Hon. W. @. Riyes, &c. We
didsnot think that Richmond seemed to be quite
so full of people as usual upon such occasions,
but the city was certainly sufficiently crowded
for comfort. The Fair of the Mechanics Institute
was point Of great attraction, during the even
ings, and is said to surpsss any OF its predeces
