Regular Army and Militia.
WASHINGTON, November 12th.-Adiutsnt
General Drum, in his annual report, says :
'' My earnest wish is still more to assimiiate
the rules and forms of governing both the reg
ular army and the militia. 1t needs no
special argument to demonstrate the manifold
advantages that would necessarily flow from
a perfect uniformity. Trained by the same
manuals, using in the internal economy of q
company, regiment or brigade the same forms
for returns, acquisitions, reports, ETC., gov
erned In their annual encampment precisely
in the manner as a military camp in the pres
ence of an enemy, almost every member of
the State Guard would be qualified for com.
mission in the volunteers. Under this plan,
in actual need 100000 men so oficered could
be added to the regular army"
The General recommends that on the ap.
plication of the Adjutant-General of
in moderate quantities such blanks
and forms as may be indicated
as desirable for the use of State troops,
especially during the summer encampments.
Upon the subject of military education the
General says: 81 do not think the i'm
portance of the early and partial introduce
ion of the youth of the country to military
studies and habits can be overestimated. The
course of instruction doesnot interfere with the
scholastic curriculum. nor prevent them from
entering any CT the pathways of hfefor which
they are preparing themselves. 1t, however,
leads them to affiliate in after-lfe with the

Grants Speech on Mexico.
New YORK. November 12th.-The Wor7d
comments on Grants Mexico speech last
night as sensible and sagacious, but opposes
asking contributions in aid of the project,
either from Mexico or the United States.
The Herald calls it the longest speech
Grant ever made, and great improvement

General SchOiieId's West Point Report
The Whitaker Case.
WASHINGTON, November 18th. = General
Schofield, in his West Point report, discusses
the Whitaker case, declaring that it was
fraud, and holding that the colored man,
after a century of slavery, cannot expect to
equal the intelligence and ability of white
man, whose education is one of many years.
He regards the negroes as unjustifably
suspicious. The blacks have not yet reached
that point in civilization when its first ap-
pretended human nature may be governed
by motives other than love, hatred or fear.
In their zeal and sincere desire to carry out
the policy of the Government, the authorities
of the Military Academy have heretofore
gone too far in enforcing personal associa-
lions between white and black cadets,
without regard to prejudice, especially
at the mess-table. :, The Military Academy
cannot, without utterly destroying its useful
ness, be made a nursery for delicate, hot
house iplants 1t is used to develop the
fiber of those of more sturdy growth, and
reject all that do not possess the requisite
standing. Unless the African race is natu-
rally superior to the Caucasian, and slavery
a better school for race development than
freedom, it cannot be hoped that many col
ored boys will succeed where two thirds of
all the white BOYS now selected habitually
fail. General Schoield does not recommend
the retirement of colored officers in the army
in all its grades, but advises more care in ap.
pointment, for most of the colored men ap-
pointed cannot nearly pass examination.
Colorado Mining Affairs.
DENVER, November 12th.-The Repu5h-
cans Leadville special says Owing to the
fact that the fire in the underground work
ings of the mines on Frier Hill, which started
in the Chrysolite nearly two months ago, still
burns, the Little Chief and other mines were
ordered by the Court to suspend temporarily.
Thursday night the Little Chief resumed op-
eratlons, disregarding the injunction or order
TO close its level against the approach of the
fire. Eight hundred pounds of giant powder
were exploded this afternoon on the line be-
tween the Little Chief and the Chrysolite to
break down the slopes. Another charge of
l 900 pounds will be fred tonight. Six men
