Indian Affairs,

From the st. Louis Republican,
WASHINGTON, d. c., August 19.-The re-
ports that arrive here almost daily at the
War Department from the various army
officers stationed in the far West would
seem to indicate that the new Indian policy
is not being productive of successful results.
Officers at present in the city state that
there are but few tribes west of the plains,
but what are now in worse state of insub-
ordination than they have been for many
years. On the contrary, the new peace
agents give exceedingly tiattering accounts
of their progress in the work. of civilization.
and Only ask time and liberal appropriations
from Congress to place the red skins on a
par with the negroes in the scale of civiliza-
ton. AT best this is a fayorite figure of
speech with these missionaries. The latter
also affirm that no reliance whateveris to be
placed ON the statement of army officers, as
they are interested in keeping up apprehen-
sions of Indian difficulties.

Local Intelligence.

REPORTED WRoNG.-In our report of the
attack on Mr.. LAMA, the Cuban refugee.
we stated that his assailant, Mr.. A. Rodri-
guez, was Cuban patriot. We have been
informed that such is not the case-in fact,
very far from correct. The statement fur
nishedGs of his general reputation can not
be admitted to our columns just at present.
When attacked, Mr.. LAMA was pursuing
his own business, unaware that an enemy
was near him, and possessing not the least
acquaintance with Rodriguez, and was un-
armed at the time, which was probably a
fortunate circumstance for him.

We learn that Mrs. Newman is in the

Newman received dispatch from the

voking the orders and appointments of the
late head of the Internal Revenue Bureau.
Instructions have been given to revoke
Pleasonton's late order to print the revised
regulations concerning the tax on tobacco.
This step is taken because the acting Com

new regulations shall take effect, in view of
the near assembling of Congress, as it is
possible various changes and notifications
will then be made in the general law.

This is how the Planters Banner scold

about the weather:
: When did the oldest inhabitants ever see
euch weather as we have had in this country
for three months! From the middle of
May to the middle of July the country has
been drenched with rains. The days have
often been hot, and the nights sometimes
too cool for comfort. And the changes in
the weather during the day have often been
remarkable; hot, damp, showery, dead
Gains and cool breezes, thick clouds and
bright sunshine have succeeded each other
all in the same day in rapid succession.
And this kind of weather still continues.
When the curtain rises, then look for a
drouth, dusty roads and clear skies. And
this wet weather can not possibly extend
into September.

The Planters Banner has new sense
tion about sugar cane, and here it is:

ton about sugar cane, and here it is:
A few days since we were shown bundle
of sugar cane, fresh from the field near this
place, with sprouts an inch long. The long
continued rains, causing the butts of the
leaves which cover the eyes to remain
moist, or wet, weeks at a time, have caused
this premature sproutiDg, even of the stand
ing cane, extensi vely.
Planters who profess to know say that
seed and for sugar making. Probably most
planters have not examined their cane with
reference to this premature sprouting. If
it proves to be general, there is no doubt
that the sugar planting interests of this
State will suffer this year severely in the
yield of sugar, and next year in the bad
quality of their seed cane.
