Our Indian Neighbcrs,

The majority of our readers are, no doubt aware that the Cherokees have, almost unani mousy, resolved to join their fortunes with those of the Southern Confederacy. The other na tions and tribes had already entered into treaty to the same effect. The chief, John Ross, in an able address to his people, informed them that he was for neutrality as long as there was a hope of its practicabiity, but after calm view of the whole matter, advised them to sever those ties heretofore connecting them with the old government. In this, Mir. Ross has exhibited not only patriotism, but statesmanship and de serves credit therefor.
 E. This action makes the Indian Nations west ot us united in our common cause. It removes a cause of apprehension from the minds of many It shuts out from the abotionists vast terri tory, in which they had hoped to operate to our preiudice. It gives us thousands ot brave war riors for our allies It brings peace and secu- rity on our fro tier and throws our western border hundreds of miles further towards the setting sun.
 We cannot help thinking that the importance of this movement has not been properly esti- mated. It is great victory, though blood less one. and it's influences and results will be felt for all time to come. We congratulate our readers on the success of Commissioner Pike and the results of his mission. But the whole Confectionery will be benefited by the alliance with our brethren of the forest, while our enc p 1.l l,o. l. which they will carry as wound for many a day

CoSFIscATIoN OF NORTHERN PROPERTY IN THE
SorTu-It is stated, in the journals of the day,
that jefferson Davis has lately declared it to be
the intention of the Southern rebels to confis-
cate everything in the shape of Northern pro-
pertv in the Confederate States, and that this
will amount to about eight hundred millions of
dollars The outside amount of loss to the
loyal States cannot, however, we think, be
over from four to FIVE hundred miilions-a
large sum. and there is sufficient malice and
dishonesty we do not question, on the part Of
Southern leaders, to induce them to carry ont
their menace. Two, however, let the South
know, can play at this same game. BY the LIST
of January our armies will have obtained .
strong foothold in South Carolina, North Caro-
lima and Georgia; our armies will have adj
vanced into the heart Of Tennessee and Vir-
einia; nearly half million of brave, loyal and
victorious troops, will have opened some of the
principal ports Of the South, and instruction
will be at the mercy of the federal govern
ment. The planters and shareholders of the
South who have been so persistent in trea-
.Vn. will see tho 4,oop.QQo 9f slsIes. they row

GREAT CRY AND LITTLE WooL-The philoso
piers OF the Tribune have nearly gone crazy
over the wonders which they claim to have
accomplished on the morning after election in
the way Of publishing election returns, all of
which, according to the Tribune beats all the
other papers. We will admit that they had a
parcel OF figures strung out over two or three
columns, and that they made the greatest posi-
BILE show out of what they had. Our space was
too valuable, Notwithstanding we had a triple
sheet on that morning, to give the votes by each
election destrict. We therefore gathered the
returns and gave the results in each ward in a
concise and Ineligible form, 50 that any person
could see at glance the precise result without
being compelled to look over a whole page, as
was the case in the Tribute.
Now, in regard to their having returns on the
Assemblymen and Coroncrs more than the
HERALD, we have simply to say that We too,
had complete returns, even more full than
the Tribune, at the hour at which that paper
went to press. But how does it happen,
if the Tribune beats the HERALD, that it gave
one list of Assemblymen elected in the State
twenty-four hours after they were published in
the HERALD with the marks about them that
plainly showed they were copied from the
HERALD!

that they have selected these beoauAe uiey

sequence, although sufficiently curious to
provoke remark, and at the present time we
nave so much of Importance to attend to that

Louisville Journal, and Brooks, Of the Express
II is just in their line, aud will suit them to
T. or, at least to Z, which wiz probably
answer their purpose quite as well. All cor
respondence in the future on this subject may
therefore be directed to these accomplished
punsters.

THE COMING CHARTER ELECTION THE GREAT
EST YEr.-The coming charter election in this
city will be great and exciting contest parti-
cularly if it is fought by the united democracy
under the lead Of one good candidate. Against
the democracy will then stand the divided array
of dozens of opposing factions. What are the
strong for the Union and the war. Only the
difference is that the democracy Of the city
have sent about fifteen thousand men TO the
war; but not Jimmy Lynch and his immortal
seventeen. The other factions have sent about
five thousand men, and an unlimited quantity
Of shoddy. So the case stands three men 10 one

DISCIPLINE IN THE ARMY-The work of dis
ciplining our army of half million of men,
drawn from q peace establishment of fifty
years duration, has been Herculean task. We
have thus not only been required to drill and
train our soldiers, beginning with the very
alphabet of military education but the bulk
Of our officers, including some generals, we
have had to create from our previously unin-
structed volunteers, drawn from the walks of
civil life. In this work we have learned some
useful lessons as great political community.
We have learned that all the teachings of our
corrupt political parties and disorganizing poll
ticans of the last twenty years must be dis
carded as false, and wholly insufficient for this
crisis; that popular suffrages and popular votes,
and popular electioneering claptrap, cannot
make good military leaders out Of ignorant
political party managers and party favorites,
and practical abilities in the men who are to
handle it.
To this extent all our party machinery,
tactics and juggling devices Of the last twenty
years are knocked into pieces. For example,
Fremont, who was made General because Of
his popularity as q politician and as party
leader has been found wanting, and has been
turned adrift; while our young military
favoritc, Mcclellan, raised to the place lately
occupied by General Scott, and solely upon the
ground of merit and capacity for the work in
hand, is giving universal satisfaction in his
skilful management of our army. We are
thus taking hold Of this rebellion in practical
way, and everything is beginning to look beau
tiful. We shall surely put this rebellion
down, and then, with an army disciplined and
Differed equal to the best of Europe, and with
a powerful and efficient navy to back it, let
England and Spain look we'll to their conduct,
OF we may bring them to reckoning which
will forever put an end to their schemes for
our dismemberment.

A GENERAL BANKRUPT LAw.-We see that a
meeting of merchants has been called for to-
morrow evening, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. to
consider the subject of the proposed Bankrupt
law It will be recollected that in the last SEES
sion Of Congress q committee was appointed to
frame bill that would be likely to reconcile
the conflicting views existing in regard to it
AS soon as the national legislature meets again
strenuous efforts will no doubt be made by the
advocates Of the measure to have it passed,
while on the other hand, its opponents will en-
deavor to throw further obstacles in its way, on
the ground that the present circumstances of the
country are not favorable to the dispassonate
consideration of so important subject. This
objection is easily answered. All that can be
urged against the expcdiency Of The law has al
ready had full discussion, whilst much has oc-
Cured within the last eight months to confirm
the views of it's advocates There is this further
argument in favor of Immediate action on the
subject, that the government has inaugurated
new financial policy, and that it is advisable
that whatever legislation may be deemed
necessary should adapt itself to and grow mp
with that policy. There ia no use, however, in
the recommendation Of any measure that will
not embrace State banks within its operation
Individuals and corporations should be dealt
with alike, and power should be given to
government to wind up the affairs of any insti-
tuition Of the kind presenting evidences of in
solvency. We trust that, in whatever action is
taken at the meeting of merchants tomorrow
night, due weight will be given to this cardinal
but small value to the country.
