New Albany Ledger and Gov. Nor

tOHs
The New Albany Ledger has long
editorial, evidently prepared with
studious care, on Gov. MORTON, sug-
gested by his late speech in that city.
The article makes great professions
of desire to deal justly with political
opponent, and to discuss the issues
referred to by Gov. MORTON, in a
calm and candid manner, without
calling hard names, or making unjust
charges. We do not propose now to
take issue with the Ledger on the man
ner in which it discusses the political
questions In the lengthy article, but
we do desire to enter our strong dis
approval of its innuendoes and the
want of candor and manly spirit
evinced in the charges which it makes
against the Governor. It attempts to
convey the impression that MORTON
has grown rich while in the Office of
Governor; that he has been bribed BY
the defaulting and dishonest officers
and agents of the Government; that
he is party to their crime, and a
sharer Of their spoils-yet it does not,
it dares not, make these charges, be
cause it would be incumbent upon
its author to prove them.
1.-THE Ledger knows the charges to
be true. and believes that it is its duty
as a faithful public journal to expose
the dishonesty of a high official, the
manly and candid course for it to pur-
sue, would be to make the charges in
plain and unambiguous language, and
not by innuendo and cunningly word
ed statement of rumor.
After the Governor made his speech
at Indianapolis in the opening of the
campaign, the Herald, smarting under
the truthful and scathing review of
the Democratic party. instead of reply
ing to the arguments and facts, set
about defaming his private character,
in such shameless manner that no
respectable member of the party could
indorse it. We are sorry to see the
Ledger, which has hitherto maintain
ed better standard of decency than
most of the papers of its party, de-
scending now to attacks on the private
character of public official, who has
done more than any citizen of the
State in all its history, to make the
name of Indiana honored and re-
spected throughout the enlightened
world. Governor Morton's speech at
New Albany was a mastery effort, and
the Ledger may well employ its time
and talent, if it can, in exposing its
sophistry and proving its conclusions
wrong-far better than in innuendoes
against the character of the man.
Governor MORTON yields a trenchant
blade in the arena of debate, and the
speech at New Albany must have cut
deep, to SO stir up the choler of our Sc
date friend of the Ledger. The issues
are great; the questions before the
people in this campaign are of mo-
mentous Importance Let us have to
do with them, and leave the traducing
of the private character of public Of
fcials to the pot-house politicians
whose business it is.

New YoRK, Oct "A Paris letter of the 18th
Of September says Tho convention passed between
the French and Mexican governments, cOnceding
to the former half Of the custom-hO revenue of
the ports located on the Atlantic and fourth Of
those Of the harbors on the Pacific has been looked
upon in the French bourse as securing the Mexican
debt, and has caused a sudden rise In Mexican
bonds. The holders Of these bonds, encouraged
bv .his guarantee just obtained, maintain that
France is by that entitled to require, at
all times, from Macmillan or his success INC
payments of ull amounts hitherto disbursed for
Mexico, including tho loans which these bonds rep
resent The publication OF thai convention in the
HOHiteW happening cOncurrently with the up.
pointment Of Gen. De Castelman, the aid -de-camp
Of the Emperor, and NJ. De Galliifet, an admins.
traitor OF great ability, has naturally been con-
strued as the fOrerunner of the entire abandonment
Of all direct Intervention by France In Mexican al
fairs. Thus, whilst on one hand the aforesaid con-
yentiOn settles all her financial claims the removal
of Gen. Bazaine, Of which you will hear ere long,
and the appointment in his stead of Gen. Cortel-
man, settles tho military part Of the question.
The General goes to Mexico with no other mis-
sion than to arrange for the withdrawal Of the
French troops, and perhaps to give the benefit Of
his experience to the officers engaged In organising
the Mexican army. This is all. His task will ne,
cessarily be a short one and does not imply on the
part Of the French Government the idea OF giving
any assistance to the Mexican Empire, which in
London and Paris Is looked upon rs irretrievably
lost. As to the Marquis Of Gallitet, his presence
in Mexico refers solely to the organization of the
Custom House system and to The appointment OF
Custom House officers, who are TO DO selected from
among the civil othosu Of BSsnob birth.

THE NOBLE RED. MEN OF THE
T-DEsPERATE INDIAN
EIl.MT.

An interesting report from GEORGE w.
LEmY, Superintendent Of Indian Affairs for
the Territory Of Arizona, detailing the par
ticulars Of recent severe fight at Skull
Valley, on the road from La Paz to Pres
colt, between large party of Apache In
dams and a number of soldiers and citizens,
was yesterday received by Hon. ID. n.
CooLEY, Commissioner Of the Indian Bureau.
1t appears that on the LIST Of August small
train of six loaded wagons left La Paz for
the purpose Of going to Prescott, reaching a
point known as Skull Valley, distant thirty
miles from the latter place, without molesta-
ton.
Leaving Skull Valley on the 18th, they
proceeded on their way towards Prescott, and
after travelling several miles began to OBJ
serve suspicious movements on the part Of
the Indians, which at once aroused their ap.
prehensions. and preparations were immedi.
ately made to repe any attack. About one
hundred Of the Indians then made their ap.
pearance, and after being warned off by the
train-master held brief consultation, after
which they announced themselves as Apache.
Mojaves, stated that they were friendly, and
that they did not desire the spilling Of blood
but at the same time declaring their inten.
ton Of possessing themselves Of the horses
belonging to the train and the stores con.
tanned in the wagons.
On the first approach Of the savages the
train master had dispatched messenger to
Prescott, where volunteer force Of twenty.
FIVE men is stationed, for aid, which was soon
at hand. The Indians then withdrew; but il
was deemed advisable to return to the post
On the following day the train again moved
forward for Prescott, accompanied by four
soldiers, but had proceeded but few miles
before they were attacked. A messenger
had been sent TO the station on the frs,
alarm, and soon after Lieut. Huron, with @
small force made his appearance and de
manded Of the Indians their reasons for mo
testing the train. They replied that the
country was theirs, and that all the whites
must leave the valley in six days. They fur
thermore demanded the surrender Of the
Arizona soldiers and the train.
Previous to this interview the Indians, as
if to assure Lieut.. Huron, had deposited
their bows and arrows in pile. The officer
observing this, marched his party from the
teams and stationed them in such position
as to be between the Indians and their weap
ons. He then demanded two of their mum
Der as hostages, upon which the savage,
drew their knives and made charge to re
cover their arms. The fight then began il
earnest, and lasted for several minutes, re
sulting in the defeat Of the Indians with tn
loss of thirty-three killed and several wound
ed, our own loss being but one killed ant
one wounded.
The Superintendent says the attack on thu
train was prompted by the large number o
aforementioned horses, which the Indian
intended to STAY for food and the provision
{; with which the wagons were loaded. Th
? Superintendent, in closing, expresses grea
sorrow at the occurrence, and fears that
bodies an indefinite amount Of bloodshed il
the future.

News from the u. n. steamer Shenan-
dOah-SuppOsed Death Of an
American Consul.

Recent dispatches received at the Navy
Department from the commander Of the She
nandoah announce her arrival, after encoun-
tering some heavy weather, at Port Louis,
Mauritius, on the Goth Of July, from Simon's
bay, Cape Of Good Hope. Officers and men
are in good health. The storms in the vicin-
ity of the Cape have been unusually severe
this season, and in June last three English
ships were lost and four American vessels so
badly damaged as to be obliged to put in for
repair. Two American-huilt vessels, sailing
under the British flag, are reported missing.
The American Consul, Mr.. Mellen, was alb
sent on leave at the date of the dispatch, and
is supposed to have been on one Of the mis-
sing vessels. Capt. Goldsborough proposed
leaving for Tamatri, Island OF Madagascar
on the 18th of August, and afterwards pro
ceeding to Muscat.
