There is nothing new, by way Of Cairo, from
Vicksbure. 1t is supposed that the Rebels have
planted batteries to intercept upwardbound boats.
BY way OF Richmond, however, we are informed
that On the I'd forces were driven back to their

assault the Rebel works at Chickassw Bayou.

Nv. The Times is quito right in assuming that
our Civil War is purely domestic in its or n;
but "ths consequence" will think Of that.

we expect Western Europe to bear them with
exemplary patience' And when she shall re-
solve thus to bear them no longer, shall the

hastily, but pause and reflect
v. On one point, we quite agree with The

devour for ever = Were the military strength
of the Rebellion utterly prostrated. there would
still remain grave and delicate questions to DO
considered and settled, which would tax the
profoundcst wisdom, the purest patriotism.
We do not affirm that foreign interpOsition
could promote tLeir satisfactory adjustment;
but We would by no means reject it before it
is rendered.
vi. We further agree with The Times that
public agitation On this subject, whether by
Mr. ynllandigbam, by THE TRIBUNE, or other
WISE ia premature if not impertinent. We
are quite as much opposed as Tic Times eau
be to any proposal of arbitration by our Gov
ernment-any indication Of a desire for it en-
our part. What we urge ia that, if interven-
ton should be proFered by Europe and ac
cepted by the Rebels, our government should
be prepared to make such response rs our
enemies cannot profit by and as the civilized
world must approve.

ELISHA WHITTLEsEy, who died at Wash.
ington on Wednesday, aged nearly 80. was
born in Washington, Conn, in 1898. He mi
grated ia 1906 to Northern Ohio & New Con.
necticut,' or tho Western Reserve }, and was
thence elected q Representative in Congress,
where be took his seat in 1923, and in 1S25
aided to give the vote Of Ohio for President
to John Quincy Adams. He remained in the
House sixteen years-always reelected by large
majorties-when he declined TO serve longer.
and was succeeded by the Hon. Joshua u.
Giddings, who served twenty years, closing his
service in 1889. 1t is not often that district
has but two Representatives during an uninter-
rupted period Of thirty-six years. Mr.. Whit
tesey had previously been two years in tho
Ohio Legislature, and for sixteen years Prose-
cutting. Attorney for Trumbull County.
On Gen. Harrison's accession 10 the Presi-
dency, be appointed Mr.. Whittlesey an Auditor
for the Post Office Department. Gen. Taylor
made him First Controller OF the Treasury,
which place LIE filed to the day of hi, death.
And there probably was never more faithful,
industrious, upright, infsxible public servant.
In the House, be was long Chairman Of
the Committee on Claims-a most laborious
and responsible post, which he filed so worth
lily that the House generally adopted his reports
without inquiry. He was good, upright, Just
man, and has died in ripe old age after .
career full of usefulness and crowned with
hOnOrs.

IMITATION or U. s. CoNs.--The authorities
will have To do something to stop the issue Of the
initiated, Or, as they might properly be called,
counterfeit, U. s, coins, which are now in general
circulation. Within two weeks, this evil TO which
we have called attention before has greatly in.
creased, and the legitimate copper and and nickel
coins will be almost superseded by this base stuff
il something is not done TO check it, The imita-
tions are growing more close daily and perfect
duplicates OF the nickel, in oil but the copper
which composes the former, will soon be current.
Coins like these cease to beinteresting as curosi-
ties, and become vulgar swindes, the manufacture
and circulation Of which aro in violation Of tho
laws Of the United States But as the makers
aud venders Of these coins arc, perhaps not guilty
Of any criminal intent the government should FIRST
give warning, before aresting and prosecuting
offenders. The plea ofthe scarcity Of small change,
which is often made, is no longer true. There Is
not petty dealer In these spurious coins who has
not his pockets full ofgood ones Refuse 10 take
the counterfeit and tho real IS always forthcoming
The plea Of scarcity is, unhappily, more true Of
double eagles than Of pennies. II the one may be
initiated and circulated fraudulently, why not the
otherl Such will be tho reasoning persons who
are roguishly inclined, unless the governmentputs
It's foot on this habit Of tamparing with tho cur
Feucy. The coins To which we refer are not store
cards, which any one may make at his pleasure,

blanCes Of the national coin, 10 issue which has

The Silver Mania.

The rage Of the multitude 10 California now runs
10 silver mining. Nearly every person who can
RAISE from 800 To 81 900 speedily invests in soGe
marvelously rich mine situated 10 Washoe, Es-
maralda, Humboldt, Lower California or SOnora.
Stocks representing hundreds ofmions ofdollars
are in the market, and form bulk Of transactions
Of which the public can have but little conception.
The whole country bordering upon the Pacific
Ocean, from Washington Territory extending
south far into Mexico, has been explored, and
wherevera trace Of silver has been discovered,
there claims have been staked off, Joint stock com.
panies formed and shares sold. Men have become
10 their own estimation suddenly rich, reckoning
their fortunes by tons and hundreds Of thousands
Of dollars. So long as the bubble remains uu-
broken and floats things will 60 smoothly, but II
requires no extra discernment to foretell a day Of
disaster, for it's not ia tho nature Of things that
a ahundredth part ofthe mines said to contain siI.
YER will ever pay for working. The people Of
California have had experience but lessons taught
in this way seem to have been written as it were
in sand, so speedy is the record eHaced
The great majority Of mines contain but little
silver, scarcely enough to pay for working, yet it
is metal which like gold Is widely diffased
through the earth. In thousands Of places both
gold and silver are found, but not in paying quan.
titles Such has been the usual experiences and
this coast is not likely to prove an exception To
the rule. The goldq mining mauia in 1850
and 1851 and the formation Of joint stock COM
punies was parallel to the present Hp0culations
in silver. Millions were then lost by the people.
A few persons who sold shareS became rich, but
the State suffered shock from which it did not
recover for some time, and thousands were utterly
ruined The reckless manner in which persons
arc hurylng to be rid Of their money, puts one
strongly in mind oil the spOculations Of 1852
Then, as now, money was freely given for shares
Of which the purchaser could know nothing.

The Indian Campaign Opened In Minnesota
F -Midnight Attack ON the Outposts.

A messenger from Mankato arrived yesterday
morning at General Sibley's Headquarters, after
riding all ofTuesday night, with dispatches from
Colonel Miller, Hnd bringing the following impor-
tant intelligence; ''' "' " '''-
"0n the morning of the 10th, at o'clock,
party OF Indians attacked an outpost on the South
Branch Of the Watonwan River, about twelve
miles west of the Madella, aud some forty miles
west Of Mankato-held by detachment Of eigh.
teen or twenty men from Captain Halls company,
Of the 7th Regiment. One man was killed and
two wounded. OF the settlers 10 the vicinity two
women were wounded, and one boy Of eight or
ton years Of agewas killed. They stole one Gov.
ornmeut horse and oil Others they could find in the
neighbOrhood .to.sgI
"In the report made to Colonel Miller by The
officers in charge Of the outpost the attacking
party were estimated at fifty in number, but in
the darkness and confusion Of stealthy attack,
their numbers may readily have been exaggerated,
Upon receiving intelligence Of the Affair." Col.
Miller Immediately dispatched Companies y and
K, Of the 7th Regiment, and detachment Of
cavalry, all under Lieut.. COL Marshall, To rein.
force Capt, Hall, whose company Is stationed at
MadeUa, within twelve milus Of the scene Of the
occurrence and with orders to pursue the red
devils. The pursuit could not be iutrusted 10
better hands, but as the rasCals had twenty four
hours tho start on their stolen horses, it is not
probable that they will be very readily caught.
"0ther detachmonts Of cavalry were TO be i'm
modiately sent out to scour the country thorough.
y on both sides Of the Minnesota River, and
messengers were promptly dispatched TO notify
the garrisons at each Of the outposts.
"The cavalry and infantry on our frontier are
now we'll armed with excellent guns and plenti-
full supply of ammunition The sad afiair at Wa
tonwan will stimulate them 10 increased watch
fuluess; and from the vigorous preparations in
progress, we think we may reasonably anticipate
that in another month at iarthest the Indians will
be pretty thoroughly smoked outai Minnesota"
