An INDIAN WAR ArfaEHESDEp.-A New Or

leans letter to the ST. Louis Republican says:
"A very important state of things exists upon
the orth w estern frontier OF Teas. For a
long time depredal Ions and murders have been
committed upon the settlers by wandering bands
of Cainanches Reserve Indians. Nothing
satisfactory has been proved against the latter,
yet the sufferers, rendered desperate by their
wrongs and dangers, OF inst.gated by blind
hatred OF all bearing the name of Indians and
not being able to get within slriking distance
OF the Camanches, determined 10 break up the
Reserves, without waiting for their peachable
removal. which promised by the Government.
Ii Is possible that In few individual cases the
Reserve Indians have taken advantage of the
war with the Carnanches steal and commit
outrages, but the great mass of them were the
whites themselves and rendered signal services
IN the expeditions of Ford and Van Dorm. As
reward for these services, they have been
twice attacked by the whites of the neighboring
counties, and a number of their people murdered
in cold blood

declare that nm approach with that view will
only provoke their resentment and confirm
their resolution. These are their assurances
in advance; and If it DO not m affront to per-
sist in proposition against which they pro.
test, it ia obviously an absurd method of con.
ciliating their favor. We cannot acquire Gu

Of soothing her indignation and propitin,ing
her favor. We detect in the negotiation the
latent fraud and the substantial violence
which will discredit the contemplated union

pose. The expedient they propose for the
acquisition of Cuba, with the consent ol
Spain, is obviously mpracticable, and, rs
such, we oppose it. When they substitute
seizure for cession, they will present policy
which must be accepted or rejected for othel

tai. The Providence Post says of il:
at commences as little dark red spot on

or pricking pain, on which spot there soon
appears pustule or vesice seated on n hard
inilamed base, in which is formed slough of

mences. The cases are attracting the earn.
est attention Of the physicians. The only
effectual mode of treatment is said to be, to
burn the pimpe out in its early stages, with
II hot iron or with caustic. In view of the
rather underlined nature of this disease, we
would suggest that it is emnently desirable,
if any one is troubled with pimple swelling
of an unusual character, that physician
should be at once consulted before it is tam
pered with. Although there is no cause for
general alarm, n disease Of this malignant
type cannot be checked too early"
