A0nestIon in FIgures.

The Lafayette argus says that the Uni.
ted States Government q few years since,
had all the available forces of the army Of
10000 in full chase after Billy Bowlegs
aad his three hundred Indians, for over
five Yeas, and could not catch him or
drive him into dishOnorabIe capitulation.
He was located ell that time in one limited
spot, the Everglades of Florida.
When Billy did surrender with his three
hundred followers, he made his own ooudi-
tions with the Government, and took his
own time, and a mighty job was over when
Billy gave up.
Now the Government have nine millions
of whites to conquer, scattered over one
million square miles. If it took Eve wears
and the flower of 90 900 troops 10 wear out
the patience and resources of 300 Indians
10 the southern swamp, how many years
and how many troops will il take to break
down nine millions of resolute, daring,
brave whites, scattered over territory 40
large as all Europe, and, as Mauteliina
would say, what will be the demnition
sum total of the expense2"
Will some Of our Loyal League stay.at
h0me blood and thunder patriots attempt a
solution q?
Juliet signal. [volume] (Juliet [i.e. Joliet], Ill.) 1844-1???, 1863-12-22

H~The Peoria Mail makes very good
point in very terse language. "The Pres
ident," it says, proposes to recognize any
state government, established by one.teuth
of the number Of votes cast in 1860. if con-
formed to certain conditions. Now, sup
pose that in two different parts of the
same state, one tenth should comply with
the conditions, and thus form two govern
ments {? Would both be recognized, and if
net, which one, if either? Or there might
be still more 'one tenth governments es-
tablished. How theni Would not the
president find it would be easier to make
one government when the law pointed out
how it should be done, than to make half
dozen governments where there was no
law by y hich to make them"
