all hands to make 1t what 1t is. From

 what I can learn, A. T. Stewart don t

 enjoy life any better than I do. He

 has built four marble and iron palaces

 for business, residences, &c., and is

 said to be too superstitious to move

 over the Avenue, (5th, and live or

 stay in his new house; IS afraid he

 would die sooner therefor. And such

 is life. When in New York 1t is

 worth while to look in and around

 Stewards establishments. They say

 about Daniel Drew of late, regarding

 his gift of five millions to the Method

 ists, that he had swindled mankind out

 of one hundred millions and was now

 trying to settle with the Lord at five

 cents on the dollarl The figures in

 fact are little large for Daniel but

 as a figure of speech, it is great

 fact.

 Speaking of the Army, Captain

 Jack, &c, there is one thing I would

 like to direct special attention to just now, and then I don't care whether I ever have another newspaper say in THE CITIZEN or elsewhere. When the late lamented Cardiff Giant con- manded in Arizona and things were all the time getting no better fast, this 7x9 sheet stuck to it first and last that there was no need of more men to settle the Apache hash, but more man; and that the volunteer idea would, if acted upon, involve the Ter ritory in useless debt, vanity and vex- ation. A regular soldier if rightly handled, is just as effective against Indians as a volunteer or any other man-except the Indian himself. It is the secret of the present command CTS universal success, to fight Indian against Indian in every possible way. The great objection 1 have to those volunteer expeditions, is that notwith standing they don't once in fifty times get @ scalp, they infict the present generation at least with endless Col onels, Majors and Captains. A whole white settlement will elect itself in this way, to follow the trail of one old buck and a stolen mule. I can recall some four hundred and one titles conferred by no greater cause than the above and quite similar. l have not seen in all these big news papers one favorable word for the regular army in this Indian business. Crook gets @ good word occasionally, but there is not one article that does not plainly enough sheer at the regular soldiers as material to fight Indians. Gillem may not be the right man in the right place. In reply to this I told Herald smarty the other day, that if New York city was depopulated of all except fifty old settlers, acquainted with all its caverns and passages above and below, they could kill half the regular army before being wiped out themselves. A en-mile-square lava bed in the wilds of California is harder nut to crack, without the greatest of strategy. The Herald here, by the way, is the biggest and beastliest newspaper ex- tant; if it ever tries to do justice to it must be the justice of self-praise. Captain Jack ought to be coaxed out with 8 bottle of New York whisky, blanketed gently until cooled off, and then smothered with 8 pillow, a la Desdemona and the Moor. 1 Nothing like an amour to catch the sharpest savage since the days of Sampson and Delilah. Next to Delilah and the devil nothing is so seductive as New York oysters and whisky. If Gillem has really killed Jacks squaw, as the comic papers here show, the willy Captain can be easily managed. He will soon stand % have salt shaken on his tail. Let jillem fight Indian against Indian send Jack another squaw with red blanket: Canby will be avenged and slLwill be we'll. W.
