THE COTTON TRADE OF 1856.

Under the headings of tbs various months,
we give below fulI history nf the Memp his
cotton market of the year 1906. There will
be found recorded the variations or prices at
frequent intervals and the immediate causes
which led TO the various advances and de-

We fiud that, IRON the opea ing of the ear

This month opened with decline In Liver

Private letters received in this city from
officers in the field leave no doubt that the
prevailing anxiety in the minds of those
high in command in the expedition of
General Terry was that they were starting
out without much hope of meeting with any
considerable body Of hostile Indians fear
based upon knowledge born of the expe-
rience Of Indian fighters, that the savages
are not apt to parade in force. With this
feeling strongly weighing upon him we
are able to understand the delight of the
gallant and lamentcd Custer on first be-
holding large village of his willy enemies
apparently surprised by his sudden I'D
vance, and we are able to appreciate both
the exclamation attributed to him and the
violence of his immediate attack. The ex-
perience of General Custer taught him the
facility with which large bodies of his
savage foes are modified and the wary in
stinct with which they are accustomed to
disappear by rocky passes unknown to the
civilized soldier, before any advance can be
taken advantage of.
We can hardly doubt that the disaster to
our arms on the sad occasion of Clusters last
attack was in some measure caused by q total
absence of experience in horsemanship or the
use of arms on the part of our troops who
were largely made up of recent recruits
It is we'll to understand that such recruits.
who represent as good material for rank and
file as is possessed by any country in the
world, are not given the opportunities of SER
viceable drill that any other country would
furnish. Our correspondents last letter
from Crooks camp gives further point to
this assertion, based upon wider observation.
We are there informed that even the raw
recruits were left without drills while the
command was waiting for reinforcements.
The captain Of company is .only
allowed from six to eight rounds of
fixed ammunition per man in each month
for purposes of practice, unless addi-
tional cartridges be obtained through his
commanding officer, which demands tripli-
cate returns to the ordnance Office and other
red tape proceedings Any Creedmoor tyro
can appreciate the advantage in marksman-

per month.

SHERMAN ON THE ARMY AND THE INDIAN
QUESTION. General Sherman speaks on all
subjects with so much freshness and point
that when he discusses the Indian question
and the power of the army to cope with the
Indians his suggestions will be heard with
interest We agree with the General that
what we need in the Indian country is regu-
lars, and not volunteers men who know
the Indian ways. This policy of sending
out detachments to be massacred has been
abandoned. We should not end this war
until we have all the Indians under govern
ment control. Here we give tribe of In
dams, not more than twenty-five thousand
in ALL a reservation as large as the State of
Ohio This is absurd and there should be
an end of the policy which thus wastes our
national domain and impedes progress and
settlement by abandoning vast territory to
bands of roaming thieves and murdercrs
This is what the Indians have become where
they are outside of the agencies and reserva-
tons, and the time has come to bring them
all in.
