4 Bill to Outlaw Indians.

Mr.. BRIsBIN, on the 18th, introduced q bill
into the House of Representatives, which
provides that any Indian, who shall be
found off the reservation, shall be deemed
to be an outlaw, and not under the pro-
lection or entitled to any of the benefits
and privileges, which the Constitution and
laws of the State provide or secure to per-
sons, and that no action or prosecution
shall be had or entertained in any court Of
this State, for any violation Of the person
or property Of such Indian committed dur
ing the time he shall be off the reserva-
ton. The bill also provides that half
breeds shall be considered as Indians, and
treated in the same manner. The bill
was referred to the Committee on Indian
Affairs

God Talking with Abraham.

Last Sunday, Dr. Cheever, in a sermon
delivered in his own church in New York.
stated that, on the presentation of the me-
mortal of the clergymen of New York to
the President, which was to the effect that
God demanded that the proclamation
should be issued, Mr.. Lincoln remarked
that it was quite a new thing for him to
receive deputation from God Almighty,
and that he would like to have the clergy
take the affairs of the nation into their own
hands, as they were intallble. and clothed
with omnipotence.

STATES ,652 $223 O49. 800
The aggregate amount Of liabilities from
failures in 1857 was 1865, 1000; in
1S5S-$73, 60S,747; in 1S59-$51, 314,-
600; in 1S6O-$61, 739, 744; in 1851
$17S,G32,17O; in 1S62-$23, 049, 800.
The year 1862, shows very small num-
Der of failures and diminished amount of
liabilities as compared with preceding years.
We account for this chiefly by reason OF
the abundance of money which has ena-
bled the merchant to collect in outstand-
ing dues more closely, probably, than has
ever been done before, certainly more so
than has been done for many years, and
the scarcity and high price of goods which
have not only greatly enhanced the value
of the stocks held on hand, but have also
made available old goods hitherto consid-
cred dead stock, and placed new and I'M
expected value upon them.

Tho Rebel Nepui~e AT springfield,
Missouri.

The Milwaukee Wisconsin saws the re-
bel repulse at Springfield, Southwestern
Missouri, is an event of considerable i'm
pOrtance. 1t was our depot of army stores
for q force of 30,0 600 men. The value of
government property there was between
100000 and 1900, 900. Had it been
captured, it would have broken our line
of communication with Generals HERON
and BLUNT's army in Arkansas-compell-
ed them to retreat, and thus abandon our
dearly-bought cOnquests in Northern Ar
kansas. In truth, the possession of
Springfield is the possession of Southwes-
tern Missouri. Its capture would have
been most serious misfortune, coming as
it would upon the heels of the disaster of
Vicksburg. The resulting evils would
have been cost to the country of at least
$2O,0O0,0 900, and the naction of our Ar
kansas army for the ensuing three months
Gen. LYON SO appreciated the vast i'm
portance of holding Springfield at oil haz-
ards, that be fought the battle which cost
him his life He said to those who urged
him to retreat, that the surrender of
Springfield would be the surrender of near
ly all Missouri to the Missouri river. Sub
sequent events proved that he spoke the
simple verify.

Bull RIM Russell,S Description of
President Lincoln.

Bull Run RUSSELL, of the London TinaeS
has published book of American person.
alities, which is highly pulled by the Eng
fish journals. He speaks of Mrs. LINCOLN
as lady trying to forget that she was the
plain wife of an Illinois lawyer, and as al
ways saying to everybody, like an English
upper servant, Sir, Sir, Sir. He also ridi-
cules the conversation and personal APP
pearance of other "citizens of renown, -
but his picture Of President LINCOLN is so
characteristic of low bred Englishman,
that we will copy portion of it by way of
illustrating RUssELLs peculiar talents, and
the fact that the President is proverbially
unfortunate in the selection of his friends :
Soon afterwards there entered, with a
stumbling, loose, irregular, almost un-
steady gait, a tall, lank, lean man, consid-
erably over six feet in height, with stoop-
ing shoulders, long pendulous arms, ter
minating in hands of extraordinary dimen-
sions, which, however, were far exceeded
in proportion by his feet. He was dressed
in an ill-titting, wrinkled suit Of black,
which put one in mind OF an undertaken 5
uniform at a funeral; round his neck 4
rope OF black silk was knotted in bulb,
with flying ends projecting beyond the col
lar by his coat; his turned-down shirt
collar disclosed a sinewy, muscular, yellow
neck, and above that, nesting in great
black mass of hair, bristling and compact
like ruiz OF mourning pins, rose the
strange, quaint face and head, covered with
its thatch of wild, republican hair, of Presi-
dent Lincoln. The impression produced
by the size OF his extremities, and by his
tapping and wide projecting ears, may be
removed by the appearance OF kindliness,
sagacity, and the awkward bOnhonaie OF
his face: the mouth is absolutely prodig-
ious; the lips, struggling and extending
almost from one line of black beard to the
other, are only kept in order by two deep
burrows from the nostril to the chin; the
nose, itself a prominent organ, stands out
from the face, with an inquiring, anxious
air, as though it were shifting for some
good thin in the wind the eyes dark, full
of expression which almost amounts to ten
derness; and above them projects tie
| shaggy brow, running into the small, hard,
frontal space, the development of which
can scarcely be estimated accurately, Ow-
ing to irregular tocks Of thick har, care
lesSiy brushed across it.

The Command Of the mississippi Ex.
petition.

Telegraphic dispatches state that General
McClernand of Illinois, is in command of the
Mississippi Expedition. If such is the fact, the
President has been guilty of one of the great
est possible outrages and folies. 1T becomes
the duty of every man who feels an interest in
the success of the enterprise of opening the
Mississippi to tell the President the truth in
this matter in the plainest terms. John A.
McClernand is an Illinois Democratic politician
of small caiber. He has no military educa-
ton, but that which he has obtained in the
course of this war He has been in several
fights and has conducted himself creditably.
That is all that can be said in his favor. There
are dozen secOnd-ratc politicians about this
tOWn-abOit any tOWn-aS fit to command q
great army as he is. 1t is horrible that re-
sponslolllty so enormous the command of
nearly fifty thousand men should be in such
hands. What has Gen. IIalleck been about?
IL he has not been good for anything else, he
has answered useful purpose in choking off
political generals.-Cincinsah COmmerciM
We are able to give the information as
to how the change in commanders was
brought about. While the expedition was
in preparation, and after General SHER-
MAN had been selected by General GRANT
as its commander, General McCLERSASD,
an old Illinois friend of LINCOLN. went to
Washington, and soon after General GRANT
received q dispatch from the President,
saying that he QINcoIN) would be gratifed
if GRANT would give the command "to his
old friend, General McCLEHNAND." Gen.
GRANT wrote. in reply, that he had select
Ell Gen. SHERMAN To command the eXpe-
dition, deeming him the best fitted for it,
bat If 4 change was to be made, he desired
an explicit order to that effect, which, Of
course, he would obey. In the meantime,
he hurried off SHERMAN. hoping he would
finish the job before the order came, Or at
least, before MCCLERNAND, who was in H.
linois, getting married, could join the COM
mand. The order came after SHERMAN
had left Memphis, and McCLERNAND soon
followed, but did not arrive at Vicksburg
until after the repulse. Who will find
fault because the President wanted to
Oblige an Old friend?
