Gu tnat ClTculaT HAS Oeen received Oy Tue
military authorities here from Provost Mar
shal Fry, in which he declares that no cred
its will be allowed sub-districts under the
call for 800, 900 men made December 10Th,
1864; that it makes no difference whether
sub-districts are ahead or behind on any
previous call-thc quota will be just the
same, pro rata. Our sub.districts in Iowa
that have put their shoulders to the wheel
manfully and spent time and money with
out stint to iill their quotas Of previous calls
and get in surplus of men for the next call )
that might follow, are to be treated no better
than those districts n Eastern States, and
many there are, that have been dragging
behind and are still delinquent on previous
requisitions. We are very 10th to find
fault at any time, but We can't help it in
this instance. Such a policy as laid down
in Gen. Fry's circular is nothing more or
less than the offer Of premium for nom
performance Of duty, and really holds the
efforts Of the sub districts that have raised
q surplus at discount. 1t is very poor
way to encourage people to be prompt in
responding to the acquisitions Of the Presi-
dent. But the die is probably cast, and
there is no course left but to submit, if the
State authorities cannot obtain q remedy.
Let us not stand in our own light by lag
ging under the oppression Of this admins
trative edict, but accept our fate and labor
on. We must either do that or do worse
and Of the two evils let us accept that which
is the least troublesome.

By the law of Mexico, foreigner coming
into that country is required, within fifteen
days, to "matriculate''-t enter his name,
a description of his person, his ayOcntion,
and his nationality, in a book kept in the
getstnra for that purpose. After this is done,
and not before, he is deemed to bo under the
protection Of the law; he can sue or defend
in the courts Of the country. This provision
Of the law Is In force in such parts Of Mexico
as are under the Imperial sway, MS well rs in
those regions which acknowledge and main
tain the republic.
d . The influx Of fugitive insurgents from the
United States into Mexico now gives il n
special Importance. How were Kirby Smith,
Beo, Shelby, Murrah, and n host Of others
who have stampeded and fed neross tho Rio
Grande with their money, matriculated =?
They could not enter themselves as citizens
Of the United States, because in case they
should get into trouble every consular officer
In Mexico, and every military officer on the
frontier, would DO bound to refuse them pro-
lection. No one, II from an insurgent State,
could invoke their aid without first taking
the oath prescribed by the amnesty proclama-
ton. Hence, as neither Macmillan nor
Juarez have ever acknowledged the so-called
Confederate States" and they could not
avoid matriculating In general, they have
entered themselves as citizens OF some par
ticular State, and rs Individual States are
not known to and recognized by any foreign
Government, have in effect caused them

The Richmond Wing of yesterday fur

The Heat.-The Thermometer, Wednesday
at noon, indicated 9l degrees in the shade.
Yesterday, at the same hour, II was four de-
gress less. A good breeze was blowing.
For California. The I'd battalion Four
teenth infantry, United States regulars, leaves
the city this morning for Fortress Monroe,
where steamer will be taken for California.
Major Brady commands the battalion. These
troops arc the same that are now doing pro-
vost duty in Richmond.
IYatermeiORS were to bo had in the mar
kets yesterday for mere song. They were
plentiful at 10, 15, and 20 cents apiece, the
size Of 10 and 20-pounder Parrott shells.
Other fruits were in abundance, and sold
cheap.
Al Work.-Yesterday a large number Of
Government wagons and negroes were, set to
work in the upper part Of tho city gathering
all the garbage etc, from the streets and
lanes, and carting it to the suburbs. The
city will be raked by districts, and thor
oughly purged of its unoleanliness.
SeizWrs Of I0JaccO.-A hrm in this city
that forwarded, last week, lot Of manufac-
tured tobacco to New York for sale in that
market, have just learned that the same has

The value of the tobacco will exceed 81, 900.
TIE Gas WOrkS.-The city gas works are
now in an excellent state Ofropair, and in thor

and stirred up good many who had not
taken the oath.

Indians Defeated In Battle ut Platte
Bridge.

Fonr LARAMIE, July 27.-0ne thousand
Cheyennes, Sioux, Arrapahoes, Blackfeet,
and few Camnnches attacked Platte Bridge
Station, on the telegraph road, on Tuesday
The garrison numbered less than $50. The
fight lasted two days and resulted in heavy
loss to the Indians.
The loss on our side was Lieutenant Col
lins, and one enlisted man of the llth Ohio
cavalry, killed, and thirty -four men wound
cd. The Indians retreated to the west, tear
ing down the telegraph poles and destroying
the wires.
A note was picked up upon the battlefield
written by white prisoner recently captured
on the South Platte, which says that the
Indians do not want peace, but are fighting
for all time that we had killed one Of their
chiefs in u fight and they are going to de-
stroy the telegraph and expect reinforce
ments.
The body Of Lieut.. Collins was horribly
mutilated. His hands and feet were cut of,
his throat cut, and his heart torn out. He
was also scalped and had over one hundred
arrows in him.
There seems to be not the slightest dispo.
sition on the part Of the Indians for peace,
which can only be obtained by severely pun
ishing them.
One of the Powder river columns is now
moving to join the force from Platte Bridge,
which is following the Indians 1t is stated
that all the troops intended for the Indian
expedition would have been in the field long
ago, had not the contractors failed to deliver
supplies according to terms.

The great British authorities are paying
full compliments to the American navy, and
the prescience and power that have directed
II. They have been engaged for so long n
time in abuse, that we welcome tho compli:
ment very readily. The London Quarterly
Review says; -a ? J. . - " Oh
"In the Channel our iron clad feet Is, with few
exceptions, reported to be mot very seaworthy
We have only four ships with turn tables, Il. e.
OF the monitor pattern,) and not one Of them is u
sea going ship In tho Mediterranean there are
only three iron clads, and the two admirals there
hoist their flags in wooden screw liue-of- battle
ships, with which It would be madness to meet
the smallest iron -clad. ~
1t states that the whole North American
squadron could not oppose one iron-clad; rid
icules the management Of naval affairs in
England, and adds to the whole compliment
to the "Federnl Americana, who 'have de-
veloped formidable navy" in spite Of all
disadvantages. 1t says, moreover, that "in
spite of the lesson taught by the Kearsarge
and Alabama fight, though the utility of
heavy ordnance was thereby proved on the
very shores Of England, she has no such guns
yet aaoat, while guns of even fifteen inches in
diameter are in use in the Federal navy
This compliment is worth being treasured,
since it comedies all that We have asserted in
very important field, and makes over to us
the naval supremacy which we have cstab-
lished. The British and French have tried
to surpass us. They have never tried their
iron gunboats of the monitor pattern save in
a sea.way. Ours have been proved good both
in the sea-way and as fighting craft. Their
great ships Of the Warrior and Normandie
class have not been successes. We know the
Ironsidos to be n most splendid achievement,
and within few days we shall send the
Dunderberg and Dictator. and perhaps the
Puritan to Europe, while other scarcely less
efficient ships, of the same principle Of con.
struction, remain at home.
The matter of naval artillery is another
important one. The guns employed by the
Kearsarge, in her memorable fight, were by
no means equal to those now employed on
the iron-olads. But those guns have boen
surpassed in our navy before being equalled
by other nations. The statement shows that
the Roanoke, Dictator, Dundenberg, and
Puritan, the Monadnock and similar ships,
are superior to the best foreign manufac-
lures, and that We are positively armed
against aggressions from the other side. The
matter is so important that it may we'll be
exulted over, and will strengthen us mate.

1t is strange, that in the volume Of indigna-
tion which has been poured by the press and
people upon judge jury, and counsel in this
case, no one has suggested the true rem
edy for what appears to be an outrage upon
justice and n mockery of law. Just so long
as juries are composed exclusively of men,
just SO long will prepossessing, good looking
young ladies be dealt with in mercy only
not in Justice, and II this is not the right and
best way to deal with them, women must be
put on juries when women are to be tried
Miss Harris had beauty, good manners, re.
fnement, taste in dress youth and suffering,
all to plead for her; and before men will
bring such qualities in guilty" they must
be made over again! Women only could have
closed their eyes to the beauty, stceIed them
selves to the influence of dress and manners,
and, remembering both the wrong she had
suffered and the wrong she had done, brought
in n verdict according to law, with plea for
the mercy that should qualify justice. The
nice care and perfection of Miss Harris s
style of dress while on trial. the beautiful
bouquets which she held in her hand; the de.
voted attention of gentlemen anxious to
shield her, would all have been set aside, oil
rather have damaged her cause, had womeI
been her judges. And so, gentlemen law
makers, unless you choose to put woman oi
jurios, and let her have voice in makinI
the laws, pray do not complain when me-
deal OUer gently with woman at the bar,

were also the packages sent from that city.
Although the mail matter was considerably
