the experience of Mr.. Palmer with Mexi-
cans. Missouri rebels aud Indians on the
Santa Fe road:
L. g. Palmer arrived in town on

About one hundred men were in the cor.
raj. They lost two men killed. man
named Whitaker. from Ogden, and q
Mexican. Palmer.did not lose any stock.
but Mexican train accompanying them
lost over three hundred and twenty FIVE
head Of cattle. Says they had more
trouble with their own men than with
the Indians; that one half Of them were
Missouri rebels, and that they had to
put . double guard out. with orders to
shoot the first man who attempted to
lesvs. Splendid fighting trim for be-
sieged party. They hal plenty Of Sbsrp's

The MONEY ORDER SYsrEM.-The in.
structions to Postmasters, and the blanks
DC. required in the operations of the
money order system. authorized under
the act of Congress of the 18th of May
last. have been mainly prepared by the
Postoffice Department. snd are now in
the hands of the public printer. The pre-
paration of the instructions was found to
be work of exceeding intricacy. the prin-
cipsl em barrassments being the want of
a Central Metropolitan Bank with local
branches, to facilitate the prompt return
of the funds in case of necessity. In Eng
land and in Canada, where the money
order system is in successful operation,
they have these bank advantages; but in
this country it has been found necessary
to adopt substantially the Postoffice sys-
tenn Of drafts hnd deposits. using Post.
offices in lieu of banks. 1t is confident
ly expected that this arrangement will
meet all tho requirements. Certainly it
is the only one which can be made un-
der the existing law. The design of the
Department is tina, operations shall COM
mence on the lst of October, and no ef-
forts will be spared to accomplish the
commencement Of the system at that
time.

A COMET THIS MoNTs.-Mr. Hind, the
astronomer. writes to the Time. as fol-

the Bologna observation of the 9th. one
at Leipsic on the night Of the 10th. and a
third taken with Mr. Bishops refractor at
Twickenham on the l4th. an approximate
orbit has been computed by Mr.. q. q.
Talmage. 1t would be unsafe in this case
to venture upon any definite prediction of
the future circumstances of the comets
appearance from present data. but they
are sufficient to indicate that it must sp-
proach near the earth about the time of
inferior conjunction with the sun in the
middle of tho ensning month. probably
with latitude high enough to allow OF
its being observed morning and evening
for some days, and with a degree OF
brightness eight or nine hundred times
greater than on the l4.h, when it was by
no means faint telescopic object.

The Point Lookout correspondent Of

On Friday last three hundred and thir-
ty-three rebels arrived from Petersburg

tured by the negro troops belonging to
General Burnside's corps. They belong
ed to the Sd and 18th South Carolina.
They say that the negro troops shot them
down BY hundreds. and it was with the
greatest difficulty that the officers Of the
negro troops could make them desist. the
negroes oil the time yelling out 'Remem-
Der Fort Pillow" These mon give the
officers of the negro troops great credit

he had never advertised in his psper; or
that the heavy editor Of the Courier, svho

We learn that the leaders Of the Democrs-
cy Of New York held caucns at Albany,
about fortnight ago. in which. after six
DAYS earnest canvassing. during which
one gentleman, with rare perception OF
the fitness of things. proposed to throw
dice for . platform. it was finally decid'
ed, By . small majority. to throw the
peace faction overheard for the time be-
ing. and to go for the war uutil after the
election. The question Of peace or war.
Union or Disunion. was as coolly turned
ovsr and examined As though it had been
. subject for dissection. No impartlslisy
could have been higher than that which
they brought to the task of deciding
whether they could get more votes on the
platform of peace and Southern Inde-
pendsnce," or on that Of "War and the
Union Forever" It was truly sublime
spectacle-thsse scores of judges holding
the balance evenly between their country
and the traitor confsderacy, weighing the
electoral votes upon one side or the other,

We submit that It would have been
more respectable. and> vastly more in
keeping with the business in hand. to
have adopted the suggestion Of the prac'
,ical individual who proposed to throw
dice for the platform. The same result
might not have been reached. but the
moral principles Of the decision would
have been the same. Q good deal of time

TE The Indians had a dance on

Most of these scalps were Of grsy-haired
persons. One appeared % be the scalp
of woman. Can it be, that the In
dians. while in the army. have skulked
about. numbering old men and defenceless
women? Rebel Indians do such things,
