The Indian War.


Ever and anon, the California mail brings us
tidings of battles of our troops with the In
dians in the new Territories. These battles are
sometimes holly contested, but almost with
out exception, they result in the defeat of the
Indians, no matter what the odds. This In
dian fighting is an excellent school for our
army somewhat similar to that of Algeria for
the French and India for the English. In this
point of view, We can see the use of Indians
and other barbarians. They afford excellent
practice for youthful military sportsmen IA
miliarizing them with the management OF their
weapons in the presence of danger, and pre-
pairing them to bring down noble game. There
ought to be some discretion, however, in In
dian hunting in America, or the herd will be
soon exterminated. BY adopting regulation
that the Indians shall be occasionally treated
with Justice and forbearance, we might pre-
vent the stock from being run out, ana thus
ensure q school of practice to the graduating
classes at West Point, for sometime to come

Fighting Under Wnter.

During the last war with England, there
was an attempt made to introduce submarine
vessels, for the purpose of running under and
blowing mp ships-of-war, and although the
experiments made for that purpose upon the
enemy's fleet in one of our harbors was rot
successful, the apprehension of these snbma-
rine torpedoes caused great uneasiness in the
hostile squadron. If the war had been con-
tinued, these experiments would have been re-
peated again and again, until the waters OF
every harbor on our coast would have been
too hot to hold hostile squadron. 1t now ap-
pears, according to Philadelphia journal,
that there have been lately perfected, and in
practical working order, one or two submarine
boats of iron, that can dive and sail under
water any distance, from few inches to a
hundred feet, and remain under water for
hours, WITH or even without, tube connect
ing with the surface; can carry and fire
torpedoes, or bore holes in the bottom of ships;
can fish up pearls and cut telegraph cables
In the event of a foreign war, the use of such
mediums in the defence of our harbors would
no doubt be universal.

Capt. Ps<Aett, U. 3. 4.
In our issue OF the 9lh inst.. we mentioned the
net that Capt Gso Z. PfcKKrr, the officer in
eouamassd az the United States force upon the
Islahd OF San Juan, IL q townsman OF ciur
own lie ID the eldest son Of the late Col. 10.
r1uxxrr. Of this city. He entered West Point
a cadstin ist2. graduated in 1870, and joined
the army nnder Gen. TAYLOR, In Mexico hut
not till after the battle Of Monterey. In the
course Of the following winter, he was recall
ed % lola the command Of Gen. ScoTT, and
participated III the whole campaign from Vera
Graz to the city Of Mexico. His regiment was
the famous eth InfAntry, (woRrn's regiment)
TO which also beionged another native Of Rich
mond, the brave Lieut.. new Major) JOSEPH
SKLDRN, and which achieved ard suffered 80
much in the yarions battles which preceded
the capture Of the city--Contreras and Chu-
rubusco, Moline del Rey and Chapultepee.-
Lieut. PICKETT received two brevets for his
eAllantry on different occasions. Some ldea
OF the exposure of the regiment may be formed
from the fact that out of sixteen officers thir-
teen were killed or wounded during the CAM
paisn. Al the storming of Chapultepec, which
was attacked on two sides, the divisions cross
ed the ditch and mounted the walls at the same
time and at different points. But after the
greater part of the works had been taken, a
IRE was kept up from building called the Cas-
tie. into which many Mexieans had retreated
scaHfolding was still standing around the Cas-
tie which had been undergoing some repairs
Capt BuYroRp, of the 9Th Infantry, with a
party of his men, assaulted and carried the in
terror, encountering an obstinate resistance
while Lieut. PICKETT, under the orders OF
Capt b., with another party, climbed the scat
folding on the outside. As they reached the
top on one side, the defenders made their es-
cape on the other, and Lieut.. PICKETT, with
his Sergeant, planted the first flag on the walls
of the Castle.
Since the termination Of the war, Capt.
PICKETT has been almost constantly on duty
on the frontiers, in Texas, New Mexico Ore
gon, and Washington Territory. Upon the
formation of the 9th and 10th regiments OF In
fantry, be was appointed Captain in the 9th,
and ordered to Fortress Monroe, where his
company and others were quartered, for dis
cipline and organization, before they We're
sent to Oregon. Two three years since,
Capt. PICKETT was charged with the duty OF
building the barracks at Fort Bellingham, a
post established at Pugets Sound, near the e1-
IRENE boundary OF our territory, rs protec-
ton against the same Northern Indians, who
have committed these murders on the Island
of San Juan. He has remained in command
of that post, until ordered on his present ser
vice by General HARsKY. The past career. as
we'll as the present character, of Capt. PICK
KTT, give assurance to all who know him, both
in and out Of the army, that he will discharge
his responsible duty with fidelity, discretion,
and firmness.
