l THE CURE OF MEBRIATEs.-D Albert 1 Day Superintendent of the New York State Inebriate Asylum at Binghampton, pub- fishes letter in the Binghamton Daily Republican in reply to an article which ap- peared few days since in The Mail in re- lation to the cure of inebriates, from which we gather the following interesting facts. The Doctor says: During the last ten years I have had under my care ever twenty-five hundred cases of inebriety, in all its various forms and conditions

 s'More than four hundred of these had delirium in it's various stages.

 'sIn the first years of my connection with the asylum for the treatment of these cases I embraced the common error, that liquor could not with safety be entirely withdrawn from the habitual drinker. After two or three years of observation I found this was an error, and that the pathology of drunk enness was not we'll understood by medi- cal men, generally, particularly those who had ventured to write books on the subject. I found on trial that my patients did much better by withdrawing alcohol altogether, never allowing even alcoholic tinctures of any kind to be given A man may habitually drink his quart or more of liquor per day. as most habitual drinkers do. Confne such a man in some place and put him upon an allowance of one-half his usual quantity and he will suffer more than he will to cut him off entirely. Absolute abstinence will cure the inebriate; nothing short of 1t will keep him cured after he is raised up from 9 life of inebriety and degradation.

 This is valuable testimony, coming from so eminent physician. Y. Zoe. Mail.

SEGREGATION OF MINING CLAIMS. The Yayapai county delegation should be cautious how they proceed in the matter of segrega- ton. We can tell them now, beforehand, that large majority of He miners ofthis county are opposed to the bill now before the Iegis- laturc for the purpose of tyrciEg segreJG,ion. It may be just the thing needed in the river counties, and if they wish it, by all means let them have it; but be sure and do not saddle such law upon layapai county, as greater injustice could not be done to those but for whom the country would long since have been deserted. The idea of segrcgating mining claims and doing equal justice to all the owners in ledge is prepostorous. We know of lodges in this county in which as nrgc number as ten men uWn claims of two hun dred, three hundred and six hundred feet each, while in tine whole length of such ledge there may not be (and in some lodges there certainly is noD over three hundred feet of ground that will pay to work. How, then, pray can you divide or set off parties satisfactory to all the claim owners The thing is simply impossible. We admit it would have been much better if but one or two men had located together on ledge, but you must take into consideration the fact that one or two men have been, and are still, una ble to prospect alone on account of the ever lasting, omnipresent Indian, Let what has been done in good faith, and which could not be otherwise accomplished, remain so.

On Wednesday evening the celebrated Zach.

county on the Anti -Coolie question. This is os.
tensibly the object of his speeches, the refrain
OF his song however is" Vote for Haight and

Republicans Do you want to see yonr daugh-
ter marry Nigger? How would you like Mig
gers and Cinnamon to visit your family ?" and ar
guments Of the same style. We apprehend no
great danger to the Union cause from the efforts
of the redoubtable Zach. The stand from
which he spoke was decorated with the
American flag "A bitter pill, no doubt, to
Mr.. Montgomery, who, it is reported, was such


consistent secessionist that he preferred to give
up lucrative law practice rather than take the
oath of allegiance, which the law demanded.
We congratulate the Democracy in having such
an able advocate of their cause. No wonder the
platform came down with q crash At the conclu-

any one seriously. We apprehend that the en-

TIE Union COUNTY TIcxEr.-We are obliged
from want Of space to defer until next week an
extended individual reference to the Union
ticket placed in nomination on the 25th ult The
character of the Convention was above the av-
erage of such bodies, containing as it did many
of the best men in the county. The delibera-
tions were marked by an unusual degree Of. in
terest and unanimity, although where there were
so many conflicting interests some soreness must
necessarily follow. The ticket nominated is a
good one, and the selections by the District
Conventions which followed reflect credit on the
delegates from the lst and Sd Districts. Taken
throughout, better ticket was never presented
10 the people of the county. The nominees are
men whom every voter that feels an interest in
the integrity and welfare of the great Union
party can heartily and unqualifedly support.
More deserved reference to our nominees will be
made next week.

Since prejudice is now the ruling

100000 in trade goes from Spring
Creek to Waterloo and other points,

are good in those directions, while
they are at times almost impossible

in trade is lost from the northern

ties for the same reason? And SO Of

thus far more meagrc than from any

GEN. SHERMAN AAD THE INDIAN VAR


Lieut-Gen Sherman will not fulfill his re-
cent intention of going to Europe, on account
of the Indian troubles This hc explains in a
letter to the citizens of NcwYork, who have
offered him a public reception i'll view OF
his departure. With his usual practical sense,
the General concludes to remain in his Depart


ment, where it is momently feared that the
Indians may combine and do infinite mis-


"chef," and where our commanders are
daily called upon for protection at a hund-
"red places hundreds of miles from
/" each other" Daily kilograms inform us
that the savages are executing wrath far and
wide and letters and dispatches bear complaint
that our troops, as at present posted, are even
more inefficient than inadequate to protect the


lines of travel in the territories. For
all that the army does to prevent him, the
Indian is a safe maraudcr and there is no
prospect, we fear, that his evil strategy and
tactics will not continue to be keen thOms in
the sides of his puTsucrs. Perhaps we should
say his OppressOrs, since it is understood
that the Indian taxes our time, temper, and
means, just in proportion as we vagabondizc
him by q swindling misgovcmment. AS often
as our contractors and agents sell him, he
makes the nation pay for it, till every
emigrant in his neighbOrhOod is made to feel
that he is the most reckless and remOrscless of
ax-gatheTers. The Government agents and
the army cannot bleed the Indian quite 80
badly as upon bitter provOcation, he is able
and willing to bleed u.s. He is wild enemy,
with all the wilderness in league with him,
and he is q master of the science of ambush


While our territorial armies five thousand
strong, are weakly portioned out to guard dis
tant points on the line of emigration
the Indian has crept up between them, and
burned and wasted settlements by the
dozen. The value of the guard duty per
formed by Gen. Augur or Gen. Hancock
does not as yet appear great as compared to
the amount of ravage so easily committed by
the red men, who are still far from doing us
all the harm that is possible Have we not
heard it calculated that it costs us one
hundred United States soldiers, at price Of
S1OQOOO to get rid of single lndianl
Rejecting that the agency frauds have rem
dered it harder to conquer savages than
to reform them, this funeral rate does not
appear implausible; but suppose we pay after
this fashion the entire bill for an outright
Indian war, lasting a couple Of years
Mr.. McCullOch may have to complain
that the national debt cannot be
reduced meanwhile, and our people
have once more occasion to reflect that the
painted savages, though they appeal to us with
horrible indec6fdm, have rights WHICH it
will pay their unpainted brethren to
respect. The way Of the national
transgrossor is hard. as this chronic
Indian fever sttests; and VIC must take hint
