Gen. Gustav has made some pro.
gress towards settlement of the
Indian difficulties. With six hun
dred men he attacked camp of
Arapahoes, Cheyennes and Kiowas,
under the lead of Black Kettle, and
after a fight which lasted from day.
light till afternoon, destroyed the
entire village, killing one hundred
and three warriors and capturing a
large amount Of supplies. The loss
on the part OF the troops is severe.
Two officers and nineteen men kill
ed; three officers and eleven men
wounded. 1t was {, severe lesson
to the Indians, and one which they
will be likely to heed. We believe
the management Of the indians had
better be left altogether TO Gen
Sheridan, and the difficulties sur
rounding it will soon he overcome.

Nationality Of tho Union Army.
Every once in a while there seems

Every once in a while there seems
to be a sort of mania for represent
ing that America is the land Of ey.
cry body but Americans. Agitating
psychologists tell us that the native
population is going to decay, and
the foreign-bOrn and the children of
the fOreign-born are coming to con
stitute the bulk of our population.
Politicians sometimes talk and act
as if the foreign vote was the main
thing at the polls. just so from the
outbreak of the war, it was the ia
vorlte policy at the South and in
England, to charge that the Union
army was made up of foreigners,
who fought merely for pav, while
the people born on the soil staid at
home and footed the bills-if they
were ever to be paid--for the pres
ervation of their boosted institu-
tlons. Even among ourselves this
sort of talk produced the quite prev
alent impression that very large
proportion of our soldiers were for
! eign-born, particularly Irish. Now

According ~ present appearances
there is not much prospect of a

claims, as the agreement entered
into by Minister johnson will not
be accepted by our government.
Instead of settling the matter Mr.
johnson has unsettled everything
connected with il. We understand
that he has asked leave of absence
to come home and explain his action
in tho matter; and a resolution has
been introduced in the Senate and
referred to the Committee on For

BRADFORD, FRIDAY DEC.ii, 1858.
Congress.

The third session of the 40th Con-
gress began on Monday, 9TH inst.
A large amount of business was
presented, suffrage and finance
the most prominent subjects.
The former of these subjects is
one which most urgently needs the
attention of Congress, and We hope
something may be done - bring
about the resumption Of specie pay
ments at an early day. We do not
pretend to say how it should be ac-
complished, but we are satisfied
that the interests of the country de-
mand that our fluotuating paper
currency should be withdrawn from
circulation as scon as possible; and
we believe it can be accomplished
now as well as at any future period
A bill which was introduced by Mr.
Sherman in the Senate on Monday
providing for the resumption of spe
Gle payment on the 4th of July
1869, gives assurance that this mat
ter will taken up, and although
the different views held as to tn
manner of attaining the end sough
may put off definite action, still W
hope that before the expiration {
the 40th Congress some defnit
plan will be agreed upon.
