THE RRp RIVER EXPEDITION CorroN AND
CoyrHAsANDs.-The formidable expedition OF
our land and naval forces, under Gen. Banks
up the Red river, supported by Gen. Steele s
column from the nsrth, will doubtless result in
expellng the rebel detachments of Generals
Price Kirby Smith, Dick Taylor and others
from the southern section Of Arkansas and the
northwestern counties Of Louisiana into Texas
Whether they win next be followed up into
Texas, aud driven thence into Mexico, remains
TO be seen. We shoud Judge. however, from
tho heaps of cotton already picked up by this
expedition, equal in value to million and a
half Of dollars, that this famous Red river cot
ton country, in the single article Of that great
stepie, will make this enterprise very pFoiits-
BILE one TO the government, both in a financial and
military view. The Red river planters, we are
informed, as = rule, have neither been cajo ed
nor bui!ied into the folly OF burning their cot
ton, hut have exercised their power, influence
and ingenuity in every way 70 save it, in order
to turn II into money with the frst opportunity.
Some have been waiting for chance OF sending
1t Off on tue rebel route to the Rio Grande: but
Others have been waiting for tine Yankee
From the stores OF these two classes we should
not be surprised II Gen Banks. on this Red
river expedition, were to pick up forty or fifty
thousand bales OF cotton and half as MANY

Letter from Hon. Geo. E. cole.
WASHINGTON CITY, june 4, 1856

w O1I1, Ouue 1OOtt
EDS. STATESMAN Mr. Waterman, of
Wisconsin, the newly appointed Superin-
tendent of Indian Affairs, will leave for W.
T. on the Steamer of the 18th. He is spo-
ken of in the highest terms by all who know
him, and it is believed here that he will
make an efficient and faithful public officer
"Father Wilbur" has just been appointed
Agent at the Yakima reservation, and it is
believed that his known honesty, capacity
and integrity viii insure great reform in
matters at that reservation. The imbecility
of the agent who has had charge of that
agency has rendered change absolutely
necessary, if we wisheditc maintain peaceful
relations with those Indians. Mr.. Wilbur
did not want this position, but was prevailed
upon by Senator Nesmith and myself to take
it, and has accepted the position, more from
convictions of duty than from any desire to
hold Office. One by one the "incapables"
are being weeded out and it is to be hoped
that the practice of appointing good and
competent men, especially in the Indian de-
partment, will become more general than it
has been in times past That Mr.. Wilbur
will give satisfaction both to the Indians and
the whites in that vicinity have no doubt,
and feel confident that he will so conduct
himself in the management of affairs at his
agency as will in the end revolutionize t. q
entire Indian Agent system of our Territory.
l congratulate the people of Cur Territory
and the government upea being able to Sc
cure the services Of so emnently useful a
man il that position There is reason to
believe that he will be able, by his tact and
industry, to gather in all the Indians be-
longing to that reservation to permanently
reside upon it as the treaty contemplates.
Yours, respectfully,
GEO. f. Cole.

civil war" The radical press will now
have occasion to vent its spleen upon tn e
devoted head of the true and tried old hero.
But whatever it may say of him can cer-
tainly have but little effect upon the minds
of the people, when it is remembered that
the radical John Conness made an assertion
publicly, that he could "buy up the Califor.
MIA press with a pint of peanuts" The
announcement coming now from 'headquar-
ters" that there is an insidious, hirelng
radical press at work on the coast ready for
any mischief, should teach the people to
be on their guard, and at the same time to
give but precious little credence to the. lit,
erature emanating from such sources
