RG@ We regret that President Lincoln
has deemed it his duty to interfere with
General Butler, in the administration OF
civil affairs in New Orleans. Still more'
that he has appointed Reverdy johnson as
Gen. Buffers censor. This can only be re
garded by Gen. Butler as an implied censure
of some OF his proceedings, which, of course
Mr.. johnson will take strong steps to mod
ify. Gen. Buffers course, so far as we are
cognizant of the feelings of the people, has
met with their unqualified approval, and
the inauguration of milk and water poll
cy-such as Mr.. Johnson will be likely to
adopt in place of the vigorous course pur-
sued by Gen. Butler, will strike most peo-
pie unfavorably. 1t may be possible to win
the rebels back by kindness, but we must
confess the medicine is awful slow in taking
effect Bread and milk poultices have never
been known to cure cancer.

Our NAVAL TRIUMPHs AND POWER
Notwithstanding the Jokes and jeers of the
press about Welles, and his long, flowing
beard, his two and a half per cent. to Nor
gan, aud the extravagant prices paid for
some of the vessels purchased for the use of
the Government at the beginning of the
va, he has achievements to show which
compare favoFably with the results from the
action of the War Department. He has
taken good care of his brother-in-law, but
he has also taken care of the main thing,
and made our navy respected throughout
the world. 1t is true he began badly though
no worse than the faux pas at Manassas by
the War Department but he has ended
well, which is more than can be said for the
Secretary of the other arm of the public
service. He has finished up his business in
frst-rate style.
She names and deeds of Dupont, Foote,
Ferragut, Davis, Porter, Rodgers, Stembel,
and other heroes of our navy, will live for
ever in the annals of the republic. The
ships equipped by Secretory Welles in the
space of a year have not only annihilated
the entire naval force of the enemy, but
have contributed in an eminent degree to
the success of our army in several battles;
and with the addition of the irou-clad YES
sells now in progress of construction, he
will have by next fa'l such powerful
force on the ocean as will be able to con-
front the combined navies of England,
France, and Spain.-N. J. Herald.

Rw The cool impudence with which
DR.. Jeptha Foulkes, the editor of the Mem
phis Avalanche, has been doing out unso-
Iieited advice to the federal authorities of
that city, eliminated the other day, in an
offensive article headed " Mischief Makers"
Col. Hillyer, Provost Marshal General, by
order of Gen. U. s. Grant, Immediately ad-
dressed an order to the publishers of that
sheet, calling for Immediate suppression, on
the ground that it could no longer be toll
Grated. The order was subsequently, Inodi-
fed by the General so as to allow the pub
LEGATION of the paper, provided the writer
of the obnoxious article, and the author of
the commendatory Rllusion to the same,
Withdraw Immediately from the concern.
Whereupon, DR.. Jeptha Foulkes comes out
with card, following the orders of Gen
Grant, and says that self-respect and the
spirit of true journalism forbid him any
longer to attempt to edit a paper" He
also states that he approved and Endorsed
the article censured, and has no other
course left but to withdraw from the
editorial management of his paper. 1t is
remarkable that the insolence of the Doctor
has been tolerated so long as it has. He
ought to have been removed long ago.

DIsINHERITED.-The Wheeling Inteni-
gencer states that Mr.. G. W. Rives, son of
VIM. G. Rives, of Virginia, passed through
that city on Monday evening, en- route for
Washington City. Mr.. Rives has resided
for some FEARS in the State of Illinois, and
when the war broke out he became a very
prominent opponent Of the rebellion. In
consequence of this he recently received a
letter from his father, who is quite wealthy,
announcing that be had disinherited the
son, for the reason that be had determined
that no traitor and Abolitionist should ever
have he benefit of his wealth. This infor-
nation is derived from the younger Mr..
Rives' own lips.

CITIZENS, MEETING.

The Court House was well filed last
evening with the substantial citizens of the
city. who manifested much interest in the
proper organization Of home protection.
They looked and acted as though they real
lied the necessity of such organization, and
were prepared 20 roll up their sleeves and
go ino the work.
Gen. Love, of Indianapolis, stated the
object of the meating, urged the necessity
of an immediate and thorough organization;
spoke If the dangers that threatened US, and
CT 7ed AZ b uaq14 RQgpeing that he had just re-
that General Boyle, of Kentucky, had call
ed on Indiana for assistance, az guerrilla
parties were swarming in all parts of Ken
tucky, and were pouring across the border
from Tennessee.
Captain Ncklin, of the 18th battery, now
stationed at Henderson, KY, was then call
ed Oh, and made an excellent speech, urging
particularly that our young men promptly
enlist in the service of the country, that
Indiana may be FIRST in filing up her quota
of the 100000 men, and giving some of his
county.
Gen. James E. Blythe then made a few
remarks as to the manner in which the peo-
pie should go to work.
John lngle, Jr., made fOrcible speech,
in which he pitched into Secession sympa-
thisers heavy, and his denunciations of VAL
landigbam. in particular, were loudly ap-
plauded.

Archer, Bisch, Hornbrook, French and 9TH
ers, which were received with much ap-
pause.
On motion of Mr.. Bisch, it was resolved
that a committee of two for each ward be

FLAX CoTToN. indications of small
cotton crop for several years to come is di-
recting attention to the cultivation and
manufacture of fax cotton as a substitute
10 such an extent as to insure its perma-
nent adoption in the manufacture of many
Southern plantations. Experiments have
already been made to convert the fax fibre
into a soft substance, easily manufactured
into cloth, with marked success, and ma
chinery has been invented which is adding
largely to the valne of the raw material, on
account of the rapidity with which it can
be stripped from the stalk and spun into
thread.
A correspondent of the National Intelli-
gencer calls the attention of the Govern
ment to this new rival of Old King Cotton,
and thinks it should encourage him in his
endeavors to dethrone the old despot. The
correspondent says there are three require
ments in cottonizing fax, viz:
First. A separation of the woody sub
stance from the fibre. This is said to be
done rapidly by simple and cheap ma
chine, recently invented and put in orera-
ton in the State of New York.
Second. A separation of the ibres. lib
Grating them from each other by breaking
or decomposing brittle gum or agent by
which they are bound together. This has
recently been done in New England. the
fibre being reduced to q flexible and uni
form diameter, in a simple manner as to
process and cost.
Third. A reduction of the fibre to uni
| form length for carding machinery. This
last requirement contains nearly ali the
difficulty to be overcome. The theory is,
if it can be done by hand, it can be done by
machinery 1t can be done by hand. How
soon will it be done by machinery The
fertile non crop bearing praires of the West
are waiting. fog this hnnT Thousands tens
| fable Worm in dollars, auded TO their value
upon the favorable solution of this question.
The Atlantic and the West, would have, iE
addition to the iron and other bands, cords
of fax to strengthen their community Of
interest," which is the great principle upon
which our Union rests, our Constitution be-
ing but the mere expression of it on parch-
ment.
The ingenuity of the Northern people is
soon to visit fearful judgment upon the
city of Vicksburg, by changing the chan
mel of the Mississippi, and why can it not
crush the entire cotton interest by estab-
fishing a rival that can more than take its
place?

RG@ 1t is perfectly understood that the
reasons for the departure of the French
Princes and the English officers are entire
ly personal, and do not relate to the mill
tary situation of our army. The represent
atives of French royalty have been sum-
moned to attend meeting of their family,
to be held in London about the middle of
the present month, on business of vital i'm
portanee to themselves as claimants to the
french throne. They had announced their
intentions, some weeks ago, to leave at this
time, and have made their arrangements
accordingly. The furloughs or leave of ab.
sence of the English officers have expired
and consequently their return.

The CRoPs IN EURoPE.-The question of
foreign Intervention in our affairs, the New
York Post thinks, win be decided, to GER
tain extent, by the condition of the crops
IN England and France. At last advices,
the prospect for full harvest of breadstuffs
in England was not good. Uufavorable
weather had alfecdy effected the growing
crops, and few more days of rainy wealth
err would probably prove to Engand that
she must once more buy bread, which Ame-
RIGA can sell her only if we remain at peace.
We are told that considerable orders have
arrived in this country from England, for
breadstufs, and this shows that, in the
opinion of those who study the matter most
carefully, . full harvest IS not expected in
that country.
