Saturday morning at the Indian Office,
for the purpose of visiting their great
father, the President. A few minutes be
fore 12 o’clock Secretary Browning and
Commissioner Bogy, with the agents and
interpreters of the various tribes, and the
Indians, numbering in all over one hun
dred, about fifty of whom were in full
Indian costume, started from the Patent
Office building and proceeded up F street
to the Executive mansion. At the White
House a large crowd, many of whom
were ladies, had assembled previous to
the arrival of the Indians, anxious to wit
ness the interview. The Indians arrived
about a quarter past 12 o’clock, when the
doors of the east room were thrown open
and it was soon crowded. The Indians
formed in line around the room as fol
lows :
The Cnippewas delegation, numbering
16, in full Indian costume, “Hole in the
Day,” principal chief. The Sioux tribe
of the upper Missouri, 12 in number.cona

About half-past 12 o'clock the Presi

briefly addressed by Mr. Bogy, Commis
sioner of Indian Affairs, on behalf of tho
Indians, and bis sentences being from
time to time interpreted to tho red men.
they frequently signified their approval
by using tho ejaculation “Ugh !” The
President replied to the Commissioners us
follows;
"I wish to say to these headmen and
the representatives of the different tribes
assembled here, through you, Mr. Com
missioner, that they will find on the part
of the United Slates and their great
faLber, as they Call me, every disposition
to cultivate peace and amity between the
races. Although the United States has
grown strong and powerful in its march
onward, and your tribes have greatly di
minished, there will be nothing left un
done that a great and powerful nation can
do for the care and protection of its wards.
You may rest assured, then, that with the
able and efficient bead of the Indian Bu

everything that can be done will be done
to cherish the peaoo, good feeling and
amity which should exist between the
various nations and races.

S. B. WARNOCK.
We are in possession of full details re
lating to the important military move
ments in San Luis Potosi and Zacatecas.
As ha? been repeatedly stated,Miramon
entered Zacatecas in force on the 27th ult.
Ho completely surprised that city. Jua
rez barely escaped on horseback; and
Gens. Auza, Garcia de la Gardena and
Area, with two thousand men, made no
attempt at resistance, but precipitately
fled. Their rear guard was fired on by
Miramon’s advance. In their haste they
abandoned everything—munitions of war,
military stores, and whatever else encum
bered their retreat. They left behind
525,000 in specie, which fell into Mira-
mon's hands.
Tho Liberal force then in San Luis,
having received information of Mira
mon’s advance, sallied forth to intercept
his retreat. "With their wholo force, sev
eral thousand strong, they came upon a
detachment of the Imperialists. In the
running skirmish which followed, the
Liberals captured the Imperial Col. Joa
quin Miramon, brother of the General, a
few men, some wagons, and retook tne
$25,000. Col. Miramon was not shot with
the other prisoners.
A force of one thousand Liberal caval
ry pressed so heavily upon the retreating
detachment of Imperialists, that tho lat
ter, upon reaching San Jacinto Kanche,
turned upon the pursuers. The detach
ment was known as the Foreign Legion,
and numbered two hundred and sixty
men. They charged the Liberals with
desperation. A band to hand fight fol
lowed. One hundred and thirty-three of
the Legion were killed on the spot, and
one hundred and twenty-seven were taken
prisoners. Every one of tho prisoners,
under orders of Gen. Trevino, were taken
out one by one and shot.
The Liberal loss is represented as terri
ble. Doubtless it was, but there is no re
port extant of the number of their killed
and wounded.
Gen. Castillo was at Aguas Calientos. I
General Miramon had sent him three dis- 1
patches to hurry forward and sustain him.
All tho couriers, however, were inter
cepted.
Gen. Miramon continued his retreat to
ward San Felipe, but was overtaken by a
fresh force of Liberals on the plain lyiDg
between San Felipe and the Hacienda de
ia Qaemada.
General Castillo getting wind of their
movements, and pretending to xetreat
aiso, so maneuvered as "to draw the Lib
erals as far into the hostile country as pos
sible.
Quiroga. who commanded the cavalry
arm of Castillo's forces, made a detour
and struek the rear of the Liberals, while
Miramon and Castillo joined theif forces
in front.
The Liberals were under command of
Gens. Herrera CaMo raid Aurelia a 6 Ri

The battle was of short duration. The

sent the balance to Sari Luis Putosi and
this city.
The number of foreign prisoners shot it
90. and net 200, as stated.
It is currently bolieved, and 1 am of
the same opinion, that before two months
the Juarez Government will be established
in the capital of the Republic, as the trai
tors have not only lost the moral, but
also the physical influence of the armed
forces.
After tho retreat of the European troops
and the rgat of the forces of Liceaya and
Miratnon, there arc left to the Empire the
3000 men of Castillo, 500 at Queretaro,
and 2000 levied in the streets of tho city of
Mexico, and commanded by Castillo.
The Periodica Official, of Monterey, of
tbo 14th and 17lb, says that the Governor
of the .State is occupied with the prepara
tions for the departure of the French,
Austrian and Belgian prisoners for Mata’-
roorai, where they are to be exchanged
for theMexican prisoners brought by the
FrenciTVSteain frigate Phlegelon. The
order ot departure is now waited for from
Escobedo.
The papers from the interior, in order
to justify tho butchery committed upon
the 90 foreign prisoners captured from
Miramon, are charging them with all the
depredations committed at Zacatecas.
In the engagement between Rocha and
Castillo, which took place between La
Quemalaand San Feiipe, the imperial
forces of Castillo had a complete triumph.
The Liberals lost their two superior offi
cers in the action—Gen. Hererary Cairo
and Col. Higinio Macias.

A Terrible Rencontre.—On Friday
niSht our city was tho scene of one of
those .unfortunate occurrences which at
all tiroes ere to be regretted. Towards
dark -Mr. M. Bridwell, our Assistant
Chli'tp-'i Bnjjce. met a man in the saloon
of HFr’y Smith, near the post office, by
the namo of Joseph Williams, from Bo-
gorsviilo. We learn that Mr. Bridwell
had se< n Williams a short time previous,
and Williams took exceptions to the man
ner that Bridwell looked at him, and
ufidflLho remark in a barber shop that if
Bridwell ever looked at him in that way
again he would kill him. Bridwell was
informed of the threat, and soon after
Williams at tho saloon, where words were
passed, and at the request of the proprie
tor tho two stepped into the back yard to
talk tho matter over. They soon returned,
when words were again angrily passea,
and Williams drew a revolver and shot
Bridwell in tho left eyo with two succes

In the United States Senate, on Mon
day, Senator Wilson said lie was author
ized and requested to contradict the state
ment that Gen. Grant is opposed to the
Reconstruction bill. Gen. Grant a few
days ago had conversed with him on the
subject. Mr. Stanton was present also.
Grant said that since the bill had been
changed so as to provide that the district
commanders shall be appointed by the
President instead of the General of the
army, he entirely approved it. He said
that if he thought he could persuade the
President to sign it, lie would try to do
so, as ho believes it to be as good as any
thing that can be agreed upon at the pres
ent time.
And tho Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette says :
General Grant does not hesitate to shj,
very frankly and pointedly, that it would
be advisable for the President to give it
bis signature. At an interview with Sec
retary McCulloch this morning, he asked
the Secretary wliat the President would
do with it? Would he sign it? The
Secretary evasively answered that he did
not know. The President had not said
what course he would pursue. The Gen
eral remarked with much earnestness:
"l.hope he will sign it. I think it would
be well for him to do so.” The Secretary
again said he could not tell what the i successes.

Following this battle tho Liberal Gen.
ltocha went in pursuit of Miramon and
Castillo, who could have taken and held
San Luis Potosi after the Liberal defeat
near San Felique. The tactics, however,
of.the Imperialists would indicate a new
order of warfare. They appear deter
mined to fight it out promptly in the field
and not allow themselves to be shut up in
towns and fortresses as has been their cus
tom
Upon arriving at the town of Dolores
Hidalgo, Castillo halted and promptly
gave battle to Gen. Rocha.
The battle is represented as being san
guinary in the extreme. But the better
equipped and bettor organized troops of
Castillo could not be resisted, and Gen.
Rocha gate way. His troops finding
themselves ove:powered, fled in great dis
order. A perfect panic prevailed,and tho
rout was terrible and appalling.
All the wounded sent to the rear in the
early part, of the engagement, were arriv
ing and to arrive at San Luis Potosi; but
tiie larger part of the wounded fell into
the hands of the Imperialists.
Gen. Mejia had given orders to recruit
two thousand men in the mountains, and
the demand was rapidly being met. His
intention is understood to bo the follow

Confiscation.—A Washington letter
in tho Baltimore Gazette says that a bill
has been prepared providing for exten
sive confiscations of Southern landed es
tates. The idea that the "military bill”
is the crowning enormity, that it contains
tho ultimatum of the Radicals, that it is
intended as a finality, is openly derided
by all prominent members of the domi
nant party, adds tho same letter. They
say '.hoy have applied tho “entering
wedge”—their ultimate design is to seize
upon every inch of Southern soil. I un
derstand that the confiscation bill I have
alluded to was seen by Mr. J.ohnson,
your Senator, and that this knowledge of
the cxistonce of such a project is alleged
by him in palliation of his vote upon the
military bill.
What the President Will Do.
The National Republican (organ of the
President), in its issue of the 25th ult.,
says:-
If-any mischief-making Radicals sup*
pose that President Johnson intends to

mercial manures, quantity required to
make it pay, as also its application to land,
has just reached me at this place.
I have had so many letters of a similar
character, that to answer them has become
a source of such taxation on my time, as
also a great nuisance; but when addressed
by an old schoolmate, and one with such
pleasant relationship as ourselves, I assure
you it affords me pleasure to reply.
It has ever been the practice of my life
to serve my friends, and I only regret that
Providenee committed to my care so lim

serve them better.
To answer your first inquiry, as to the
best commercial manures, I will occupy a
position contrary to the opinion of. many,
as most brands of fertilizers have certifi
cates of their superiority, and some such
I have found almost valueless, and could
mention some, but will forbear and an

Canada—The Confederation Bill.
Toronto, February 25.—An advanced
copy of the Confederation bill to be in
troduced into the Imperial Parliament
has been received here.
The name of the United Provinces is
to be the Kingdom of Canada.
The Federal Legislature will he styled
the Parliament of Canada. The upper
house is to be styled the Senate and the
lower house the House of Commons.
The local legislature to be known as the
Provincial Legislature of Ontario, Que
bec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick,
respectively. Ontario, formerly Upper
Canada, to have but one chamber, to be
known as the Legislative Assembly of
Ontario. The other Provinces have each
a Legislative Council and House of As
sembly. The Speaker of the Senate is to
bo appointed by the Urown.and is to have
power to create six additional Senators
beyond the stipulated 72, in the event of
necessity.
The House of Commons is to consist of
one hundred arid eighty-one members:
eighty-two from Ontario, sixty-live from
Quebec, nineteen from Nova Scotia, and
fifteen from New Brunswick. The
Queen’s representation presiding over the
new kingdom is to retain the title of Gov
ernor General, with t salary of $50,000.
Each Province is to have a Lieut. Gover
nor, to be appointed by the Governor
General in' Council. The seat of govern
ment is to be at Ottawa, subject to the
royal prerogative; Toronto, Quebec,
Halifax and Freflericktown to be tiie seats
of the local, legislatures.
A railroad from the St Lawrence to
Halifax is to bo commenced six months
after the union, and completed within
three years.
Provision is made for the admission
hereafter of Newfoundland, Princo Ed
ward Island, Rupert’s Land, Northwest
Territory and British Columbia, on such
terms as the Parliament of Canada shall
deem equitable.
The Situation.-^Tho Rome Com
mercial illustrates the condition thusiy:
The present condition of the South re
minds us very much of the exhortation of
a Dutchman at a Methodist meeting, in
the mountain region of Georgia. \Ve
will use plain English.as we are not much
for writing Dutch. He said :
“My dear brethren and sisters, suppose
you were traveling along and came to an
impassable mountain, and suppose on
either side of yeu there was n running
stream of burning lava, that you could
not pass; and then suppose the Devil
was to come up behind ycu with a red
hot poker. What then ?”
We are inclined to tho opinion that the.
South is in very much the same condition
as'the congregation alluded to, and we
can only ask the same question of our
readers as was put by tho Dutchman—
"What then?”

and Montgomery streets, owned by Mrs.
Hodgson and Mrs. Telfair, and occupied
by Messrs. Miller & Brother as a cotton
warehouse, by Messrs. Grady & Tully as
a lath and lime warehouse, and by Mr. R.
White as a junk store. The fire origi*
nated in the junk store, and the goods be-
Qgof an inflammable nature,-the flames

You may recollect the Stoto Agricultural
Society offered a prize at its last Pair lu
Atlanta for the best experiment in com'
mercial manures. As a competitor for
that prize, 1 planted twenty-six acres in
experiment, using all tbe brands I could
get in our markets, as also in Baltimore,
of much reputation. As to the result, you
can see by referring to the Southern Cul
tivator following the Fair. The nextyear
I selected eleven of the best or most suc
cessful, and added to the list W. Whites
lock & Co.’s Cerealizer, a favorite brand
with some of my Hancock friends, which
had just been introduced in Georgia. In
this second experiment I did not see fully
the result, having joined the Confederate
army. I left for the seat of war in July
after its breaking out in April. At that
timo tho contest was between W. White-
lock & Co., Turner’s Excelsior and No. 1
Peruvian Guano—the former evidently
having the advantage, and my superin
tendent reported it held it through the
crop. In my purchase for the crop of
this year, I have ordered W. Whiteloek
& Co.'s Cerealizer and Turner's Excel
sior. These are manipulated manures. .
have also ordered No. 1 Peruvian Guano
Dissolved Bones, Salt and Land Plaster,
to manipulate myself. This is a favorite
fertilizer of my very clever friend and
distinguished planter, David Dickson,
who recommends a mixture of equal
quantities of each, except the Plaster—
one-half the quantity of the latter. For
instance, one hundred pounds each of
Peruvian Guano, Dissolved Bones and
Salt, and fifty of Plaster.
Various fertilizers have recently been
introduced, among them the Pacific Gu
ano, which proved well on my crop of last
year. No other of the recent introduc
tions have I any knowledge of, from ex
perience. Here let me state the impor
tance of a State Chemist who could do
immense good in analyzing the varilhs
fertilizers and give us some insight into
their merits or demerits. Well, as to the
best manures, my answer is, I show my
faith by my works. I think those I ora
dered are the best. I think in dry seasons
Whiteloek can outstrip them all, and in
wet, I have my doubts whether he has yet
been excelled. I am not personally ac
quainted with Mr. Whiteloek, and know
nothing of his integrity, but N. A. Har*
dee, Esq., of Savannah, tells me he is a
man of strict integrity and high sense of
honor; at any rate, I have never been
disappointed in a barrel of his manipula
tion—hence I have ordered largely of his
manure.
I advise all friends not to use the Peru
vian Unanu oteuc, particularly a A Uiy
and thirsty lands, for in dTy weather the
cotton will fire and throw off the leaves
and pods. Turner’s Excelsior bas been a
favorite fertilizer with me, has proven
well to crops as well as by analysis,
would mention others tried in my experi
ment, but will not tax yon with itt as your
enquiries are only for the best. Your sec
ond enquiry as to quantity will pay ?
My reply is, be govorned by your sup
ply. It will pay with from 50 to 350 lbs.
per acre. If you can apply three hundred
and fifty I advise that amount. If you
can’t apply more than fifty,use that much:
you will be paid in good seasons from
fifty to even as high as one hundred and
fifty per cent, for the money invested.
Some consider manures extravagantly
high. My opinion is, they will pay
much better at present prices of cotton
and prices of fertilizers than before the
war. Cotton you know is not short of
two hundred per cent, higher tban before
the war, whilst fertilizers are not fifty per
cent, higher. I am now backing my
judgment by purchasing sufficient to ap
ply to every aero of cotton I plant, even
new grounds that has never been cultiva
ted, but the timber is well deadened on it.
Your third and last inquiry is as to the
best method of application (of course you
mean to a cotton crop) and which is the
crop that pays best with us. My usual
plan has been to open a deep farrow, with
either a two horse double-winged plow or
by running first a scooter plow and then
reversing the direction and running in the
same fuifrow a largo shovel or double
winged plow; in this deposit the manure.
It is not so material in the application of
Whiteloek that it should be put so deep—
you can put it in a furrow only run deep
enough to prevent tho weeding hoe from
chopping it out when thinning out your
cotton. When you deposit the manure
in the furrow, throw your beds to it, and
it is ready for planting.
I mention the above as it has been my
usual plan, but from experience I prefer a
different ruetbod, which I advise you to
adopt, at least in a part of your crop. I
intend doing it in most of mine, particu
larly when the grass is most likely to
annoy me.
Run off your rows and throw two fur*
rows to it—that is, list it up as usual; this
can remain or not, as you prefer. When
you are ready to put in your manure, run
a deep furrow with a shovel or double-
winged plow in one of these listing fur
rows, and in that put the manure. I put
the manure in from the hand in weather
that it will not blow away ; in windy
weather I prefer the common gourd with
a long handle put to it of sufficient length
to reach the ground ; have it so punctured
in the bottom that the manure will escape
freely by shaking tbe gourd; hold it in
the furrow and none will escape; some
use tiu trumpets, some machines, and are
content with their plan9. My reason for
reoommending the manure to be put in
the listing furrow is on account of the
grass growing so luxuriantly immediately
over the manure—when put off, it gives
you the advantage of putting the sweep
or cultivator to it and getting tbe most
formidable grass off, which you will find
is a great advantage. Don't be afraid that
your crop will not get the manure. I
agree with my distinguished friend Dick
son, in tho January number of the South
ern Cultivator, teat the crop will get it, if
you keep it off the stiimps and out of
running water.
I believe I have covered the ground of
your various inquiries, and by following
my suggestions, or by adopting something
better, I wish you much success.
Your friend,
T. J. Smith.

To E. Wilder, Esq., City :
I was a good deal .afflicted with indigestion*
and occasional attacks of Dyspepsia. I was ad
vised. to use your Bitters. I scarcely used one
bottle when I felt relief, and from Hie me o
the Bitters, though nearly sixty-seven years of
age, feel the same energy and vivacity,
cheerful «pirita of a boy of twenty-five. Your
Bitters are a pleasant tonic and cordial, and as
they are prepared with pure ingredients and
good old Bourbon Whisky, I can safely indorse
their use to all afflicted aa I was. I would say
to such persons, keep your mind easy, your
bowels open, your head cool, your feet want
and use Wilder’s Bitters, and never mind the
Doctor.
Respectfully,
J. C. BUCKLES.
