CHARLESTON, March 1O.-The Con-
vention is striving to close its bust
ness and adjourn by the end of this
week.
ATLANTA, March 10.-The goth of
April has been set apart for the cleo
tion of all civil and municipal officers
in tho State, as we'll as for the vote
on the Constitution. Ben. Hill
spoke to-day, to an audience of over
1900 persons. He bitterly opposed
the ratification, and denounced the
Convention. There was much en-

NEW ORLEANS, March 10.-The
Committee of Three appointed to
wait on Gcn., Hancock, and inform
him that the Constitution was ready
to be submitted to the people, reported
chat the General expressed doubts
whether, under the reconstruction
law, the election of officers could be
held at the same time that the ratifi-
cation or rejection of the Constitution
was determined; but would telegraph
to- Washington for instructions. A
motion of adjournment was adopted,
with proviso that if the Constitu-
tion be ratified; the Convention shall
stand adjourned sine die.
The press of this State strongly
deprecate the departure of General
Hancock from this District.

INDIAN AFFAIRS.

The tenor of all our news from the Indian
country of late has been discouragng Latest
adyices are so minute and full, and show 30
rresistby the existence of a cruel and devas-
tating war on the part of the Indians, that we
feel called upon to revise our Judgment and
insist upon rigorous measures of repression.
We must have peace and order. We must take
the tomahawk and scalping knife from the In
dian before we conclude our measures of justice.
The savages appear to have risen in small parties
simultaneously all over the Plains, from the
western line of settlements in Kansas to tho
mountains of Colorado, and thus far there has
been little variation in the story Of massacre
and rapine. The settlers built their cabins and
staked out their homesteads with too little
regard of the dangers of their situation, and
the outbreak of hostihties found them so
widely scattered that they could seldom make
common cause against the common enemy.
Nor could they depend upon our small frontier
army for adequate protection. The savages,
therefore, have had things all their own way.
They fall in overwhelming force upon remote
ranches and isolated forts, and long before
force can be collected to face them they are
far out of reach. Gen. Sheridan has sent out
pursuing columns, and the well-kn0wn ability
and energy Of this illustuous and far-seeing
commander give us assurance that the campaign
will be well fought but for some time to
come we can hardly expect any decisive advan-
tage So long as the praiIies afford
forage for the Indian ponies, the pursuit
will generally be vain. The devasta'
ton will spread from post to post
along the border, and we shall not be sur
prised if we hear .of several other disasters
such as that which We chronicled yesterday on
the Republican RivergI Before long, however,
the Winter frosts will help us. SO that the
sayages will no longer be able to scour the
Plains as they do now, and the troops will
overtake and punish them
The facts that the war this time has broken
out immediatiately upon the heels of treaty
of peace, and that it seems to have been with
out proyocatou from tho settlers. afford

The Chinese Embassy, it is reported, has been
coolly received in London, and the English
people seem bent Oh transfxing Mr. Burlingame
with a strong British stare" The affectation
OF doubt whether the distinguished strangers
are really ambassadors, or only foreign me-
" diatOrs," is characteristic piece of cockncy
insoence at which we ought hardly to be sur
prised; but it will be strange if the British
merchant does not soon discover the pecuniary
Importance of the mission on which the En-
bassadors have come and make up his mind to
receive them, if not with enthusiasm, at least
with civility and respect. We trust, however,
that Mr.. Burlingame will waste little time in
Great Britain. If he is not cordially greeted
there, let him proceed at once to the Continent.
He bears great message of civilization, ard
if England is not yet ready to hear it, let him
tell it first to Russia, to Germany and to
France.

The Revolutionists of Spain are triumphantly
advancing Some dispatches, manifestly ema-
mating from the Spanish Government were
received yesterday from Paris, endeavoring to
represent the revolution as being confined to
Andausia and few seapOrts, and as being
altogether an insignificant affair. But the re-
ports coming from the insurgents are more
jubnant and hopeful of complete success than
ever. 4 General that had been sent out
against them has joined them The same has
been done by several more war vessels. Gen.
Prim is marching upon Madrid at the head of
10000 men. ProclamatiOns have been issued
that every officer who will order the troops to
fire upon the people or the revolutionary SOL
diers Will be treated as a traitor.

A correspondent asks lis for the maximum of
the National Debt in 1866 and its amount now,
and says: Several parties are willing, if re-
duction has been made, to support the Re-
publican candidates for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency, and have taken the lib
9" erty of making this request on their behalf"
We have several times published this infor-
nation, but once more repeat. The funded
debt Of the United States, less cash in the
Treasury, on the 1st of September, 1866, was
S2,757, 679,5S1. On the 1st of September, 1868,
it was $2535,6l4,3l3, but this amount was
swellcd by Pacific Railroad bonds, for which
the roads themselves are responsible. Leaving
these out, we have the correct figures for
the debt, on the LIST of September, 1868,
$25OO,300,313. Our correspondent can see the
change since 1855. He must remember, also,
the vast reduction in our taxes which has
been attained simultaneously with this reduce
ton of our debt-concerning which, readers
will find some interesting explanations in a
fresh financial statement by Mr.. Edward At
kins0n, given in another column.
