Some time ago our printer in setting up
the name Of President Grant Inadvertently
pied Q small Z. This has worried the editor
of the Donaldsonville CHIEF very much, and
yet in his last issue, in half-column dcvo-
ted to the subject, he spells the name Of tho
first President thus, george washington. US
ing not only small 6, but also = small W
TAibodaur Sentinel
Now, uncle 81, if you will put on
your spectacles and again refer to our
half-column article, you will perceive
that the name Of the couptry's first
chief execusiSe-may his glory never
fade--was printed thus: george cash
ington. We purposely used italic
initial letters in order that the bur
lesque upon the Ssntiners error might
be the more apparent, and we verify
believe the old gentleman from 1ndi-
ana who freiglts the columns of the
Sentinel with vcighty wisdom is the
only one Of our readers who failed to
perceive the pointed allusion. BY the
way. uncle Grissy, we're glad to see
you've abandoned the attempt to lead
people to believe that Mr.. Grants
name should be commenced with a
little 6 and that you purposely used
the small initial; that was naughty.
BE good, neighbor, if you can't be
handsome.

We are in receipt of a cOmmunica-
ton from All attache of the New Or
leans Times wherein the writer denies
the correctness of the version given
by our regular correspondent, " Gpn-
eral Observer" of the disagreement
between the business manager of the
Times and the printers belonging to
the Typographical Union. which re-
suited in the discharge of these work
men and the employment Of nom
union men, or rats" as they are des-
ignated in the vernacular of the craft.
The following statement Of the affair
ia given The manager of the Times
demanded the discharge Of four men
employed in the composition rooms,
announcing at the same time his will
lingness that in their stead should be
placed four other men in good stand
ing with the union. The other hands
refused to allow the change, and the
manager, declining to relinquish the
right of electing who should work for
him and who should not, discharged
all the union printers and employed
"rats." Our informant states further
that rumors of the financial embar-
easements of the Times are unfounded
in fact, the owners having taken up
all outstanding obligations although
their purchase notes still lacked a
year of maturity.
The CHIEF has always felt kindly
disposed toward the Times under its
new management, and we have more
than once given expression to this
feeling. We have no desire to do our
metropolitan neighbor an injustice,
and we cheerfully give it the benefit
Of the above statement, the correct
ness of which we have no reason to
doubt. AT the same time, however,
we have no censure for our contribu-
tor, General Observer His rela-
ton Of the affair differs in no essen
tial degree from, that Of the Times at
tache, excepting the reference to the
finances Of the establishment, aud
this was given merely as public ru-
NOR.

INDIAN WAR PROBABLE.

It looks very much as if an Indian
war Of more than usnM magnitude is
about to break out on the Western
border. Several parties of Sioux In
dams from the Black Hills region have
recently taken the war path, and it is
feared their example will be generally
followed among the Indian tribes Of
the adjacent country. On the 5th
inst. band of armed Sioux attacked
settlements on Rock Creek, south of
the Union Pacific railroad, and sue
ceeded in driving off large number
of horses. About the same time an
other band was seen in the vicinity of
Fort Robinson, and on the seven
tcenth three large parties set out from
the Spotted Tail agency evidently bent
on an errand of mischief. The gov
eminent Indian agents and the troops
on the border are on the qui rice, and
it is likely we shall read stirring news
from that region shortly.
There is no doubt the failure of the
recent negotiations for the purchase
of the Black Hills has something to
do with the war cloud which seems
rising in the West. The delegation
headed by Red Cloud and Spotted
Tail left Washington in an angry
mood, and it was predicted trouble
would follow their return home. Gen.
Sheridan asserts that the Sioux In
dams have violated tile treaty Of 1869
almost every month in each year in a
most outrageous manner, and if those
pestiferous sons of the forest unite in
general raid after the white mans
scalp, it is more than probable the
movement will be made pretext for
the forcible acquisition Of the coveted
BLACK Hills ny our government. What
the copper colored native of the Mon
tana wilds refused to relinq,ish for
glass beads and parti colored calicoes
lie may soon be compelled to yield at
the point Of the bayonet, and we shall
not be sorry when the event takes
place. The peace policy of dealing
with the Indians has been an expen-
sive failure, and has rather encouraged
them to the commission of outrages
than otherwise. The only effective
argument that can be nsed to convince
them that peace is a desirable institu-
tion is that which speaks from point
Of sabre and muzzle Of musket.

ALONG THE RIO GRANDE.

Latest advices from the Mexican
border are ominous with forebodings
of trouble. There is no indication of
conflict with the government of
Mexico, for that power is as anxious
to preserve the peace existing between
the Republics and to suppress the
border outrages as the United States
can possibly be. But Cortina, the
dare devil bandit chieftain who sets
at naught the authority Of his own
government, shouts defiance to ours
and threatens to cross the Rio Grande
with his army Of cattle thieves and
visit condign and ten-fold vengeance
upon the settlers in that region for
the recent killing of a number of his
followers. Gen. Ord has been placed
in command of the U. s. troops along
the border, and the Texas militia
will act in harmony with the govern
ment forces. In addition to this, a
war vessel has been stationed at the
mouth of the Rio Grande, attended
by several steam launches in which
marines can be transported to con-
venient points for cooperation with
the land troops in case the threatened
invasion is attempted.
While these preparations would
probably have the effect of intimidat-
ing loss reckless leader than Corti-
ma, we shall not be surprised to learn
at any moment that he has carried
his avowed intention of crossing the
river to the Texas shore into execu-
ton, in which event there will be
some lively and bloody work. We
only hope that such a drubbing may
be administered to the outlaw and
his villainous horde us to completely
cure them of any future inclination
to repeat the insolent incursion.

The first number Of the Feliciapa
Ledger, nee Dunn Leader, is at hand,
and the only change we notice is that
Of name and style Of type used for a
heading. The editor publishes a sa-
lutatory article congratulating him
self upon his manner Of conducting
the Leader, and announcing that, be-
sides fayoring third term for the
present chief magistrate, he twill
adjust any existing differences be-
tween political parties" This latter
would seem to common minds an i'm
possible task, but the beautiful conf
lencc with which it is undertaken by
the editor Of the Ledger almost per-
suades US to believe the thing can be
accomplished. AS 4 sort of beginning
will the Ledger man kindly adjust the
radical differences between Northern
and Southern Democracy, in order
that the Rossier Banner apd kindred
journals of North Louisiana may re-
alize their ideal Of a united and har-
monious national Democratic party :?

We do not call attention to the
above libellous paragraph for the pur-
pose Of refuting its SANDER, nor yet
to comment upon the highly original
manner Of spelling " champagne" en-
ployed therein; but wo desire to re-
mark right here that if the Register
man thinks to draw the public eye
from his carbuncle of !. nose by such
base insinuations against his virtuous
peighbors, he is on the wrong tack.
Gentle reader, the author of the brief
romance which precedes these few
editorial observations is noted far and
wide for the size and unequalled bril-
lance of the liquor sign which he car
ries on his brazen front If he could
only muster up sufficient determine
ton to leave the gin mills of Brashear
the government would tender him a
life position as lighthouse on some
dangerous coast, such is the superior
reflective power of his shining pro-
boscis lis it is, the unfortunate crea-
ture ekes out preoarious existence
by contracting with the municipal
authorities to mount church stecple
and keep the streets lighted on nights
when there is no moon.
We have no desire TO interfere in
the little three-cornered dispute be-
tween the Feliciana Ledger, New Or
leans Republican and ex-senator John
Gair relative to q transaction before
the State Funding Board, but we sug-
gest to the editor of the first named
journal that he allows passion to got
the better Of his Judgment when he
asserts that emo one would be so
foolish as to give credit to the Repub-
lican for ability, as that paper is gen
orally considered to be the essence of
stupidity" This is incorrect ; even
the most rabid political enemies of
the Republican acknowledge its abil-
ity and never call it stupid. We do
not hesitate to express the belief that
among the journalists of New Orleans
the Republican is almost universally
considered the ablest and best edited
paper in the State. In our estimation
it stands at the head of the Southern
press. and we are sorry to see CO.
worker in the Republican cause 80
eager to outstrip the vlrulent organs
of Democracy in attempting to smear
the fairly won laurels of natural ally
with the slime of vituperation. We
have enough to contend against with
out rending each other, brethren.
