New MEXICO IN OUR PossEssIoN.-A
Washington dispatch of the 7th says "the
rebels have full possession of Arizona ana
Ne,o Mexico" We knew that our flag
waved over Arizona in its length and
breadth, but this dispatch leads US to in
fer that Baylor has extended the area Of
conquest northward 1t is easily enough
to be accounted for that the North should
have Intelligence of this before we could
receive it, the line of communication being
the plains, via Kansas.

General Pixies Speech.


The Cherokees met Gen. Pike, Confed
crate Commissioner, and Major Rector Su-
perintendent, at Talequah, Cherokee Ma
ton, on the 25th of September, according
to previous appointment. The Cherokees
assembled in large numbers, apa the regl'
ment commanded by COL Drew, was on the
ground. At the appointed hour the Chero-
kee regiment formed, leaving large square
in which the Commissioners, Superinteu-
dent, aud Cherokee officials we're seated -
A Confederate flag was presented BY the
Cherokees to the Commissioner, which was
followed by a speech by Gen. Pike to the
Indians, and which was responded to by Mr..
Ross. After which Mr.. Ross approached
Col. Stand Waite, and offered his hand, as'
suriug him of renewed friendsbip4 Waite
took his;han& and said to MY Ross, if be
had done this in 1916, the Cherokees would
low be united people, but there now ex-
listed party iu the padar' koown as the
pin party, and while they held their polltl.
cal organization there could be no peace.
Mr.. Ross assured Waite that he knew moth
ing of the party, and that ne had nothing
to do with it. After little parley. mat
ters were hushed up, and the Commission
er anl the authorities proceeded to the ar
ranging the preliminaries for the treaty.
The above particulars were received from
a person who was present, who sent tito us
by friend. There will be two regiments
of Cherokees, one commanded by Colonel
Stand Waite, who has had battalion in
the field all summer and fall, and the other
by Col. John Drew, who yas appointed to
the command by Mr.. John Ross. Waite
is the leader of the Southern Rights Party.
The "Pin Indians as they are called,
is composed mostly of full bloods. They
derived their name from wearing pin, in
a certain position, in the lapel of the coat,
or hunting shirt, which was the means OF
recognition. This the other party discov'
cred, and hence the namc Of "Pin Indians" "

in Richmond thus far is 1896, 1894, which
is not, however, three-fourths Of the a.

have been conveyed by private hands to

Criticizine our Generals.

We observe, says the Nashville An,ert-
can, in some quarters, decided disposition
TO carp ct the movements of the generals
in command of the Confederate forces,
without sufficient knowledge of the facts
upon which the censure is based. We had
hoped the South would be spared any imi-
tation of the Yankee journals, as to the
conduct Of the generals in command of their
troops. These carping journals have not
hesitated to dictate the plan of the cam.
paign to those intrusted with the direction
of military affairs. Such conduct isin keep,
ing with Abolition vulgarity, presumption
and arrogance But we had expected more
magnanimity, decency and patriotism at
the South, and we have not been greatly
disappointed, only we observe occasionally
an itching, which we hope inadvertent, to
deal hard blows at the able leaders Of our
forces.
When all the facts transpire with refer
ence to the campaign, which, Of necessity,
cannot now be disclosed without material
injury to our great cause, it will be time
enough for the military critic to upsheath
his cold and glittering blade But in the
very front of the enemy, when it is conce-
ded that our armies have done we'll, if they
have not done all that ardent civilians
could wish it is manifestly unjust, uapa.

who would put into print his censures, save
with the view to correct obvious misman-
agemelt, however well.iuteutioned are his
obsersstions, should blush for shame at the
probable injustice he may do our gallant
defenders.
We had thought that Greeley's son to

The STEAMER BERMUDA.-Now thai
the Southern Press has been enlightened
by the N. Y. Herald on the subject of the
arrival of the Bermuda, her cargo, etc, We
venture to transfer to these columns the
following description of her appearance
which We find in one of the papers Of the
interior:
She has the rig of full rugged brig, auc
coming into port under sail, with a light
head of steam, and her smoke stack down
her appearance, at short distance, iudica
ted nothing more than an ordinary brig
She has no sign of port holes from the out
side, and the only indication on the decks
that she is designed for war vessel, is the
presence of four ring bots firmly fixed in
the decks. She is designed to carry foul
guns on deck, and although there are nc
gun carriages to be seen, yet there are foul
ten inch rifle cannon siuug in way that
they could be brought into action, had
there been occasion, on ver5 short notice. -
Her bulwarks, instead of being solid, as u
sual, we're constructed of fancy wire net
ting. She presents beautiful appearance
externally, and when she is fully fitted fo'
action she will, no doubt, prove an ugly
customer for the enemy to cope with.
