Mr. ALBERT RHODES, editor of the Ni'ion of this city, has an article on the temperance question in the Galazy for September. He takes ground in favor of the grape cure, or in other words holds that the use of light wines is the true remedy for intemperance, rather than enforced total abstinence,—a doctrine, we may ad. that is steadily gain- ing fay or in this country. A Bap BANNOCK.—Acting Indian agent T anilson writes the Commissioner of Indian Affairs; under date of the 8th inst., detatling the shooting of two white men by a Bannock Indian, who had put on his war paint, reounted bis pony, and was just starting out to join Chief Joseph. The Bannocks ex- ressed great regret at the occurre ce, and at jast accounts were in pursuitof the mur- derer. Gov. CARROLL, of Maryland, yesterlay addressed a letter to the President, in which he says that tranquility having been re- s‘ored in the state he has given the necessary orders for the dismissal of the state troops fiom active service, and has expresse! to them and to the police force oi Baltimore the Public sevse of the exemplary manner iu Which their duties have been discharged. He also desires, before the orders are ex=- cuted for the withdrawal of the troops 07 tae United States from the particular servic to which they have beea assigned, to exp: the public sense of the fidelity, gool ju lg mest and discretion with whie) the duties intrusted to them have been perform +d. THANKS TO THE MARINES.—The Sper tary of the Navy bas addressel a letter to Colonel McCawley, of the marine corps, con- gratalating and complimenting the marines on their excellent discipline, soldierly b-ar irg, and general efficiency. Gen. Hine. < has expressed @ similar opinion, and C slo1i Barry, commanding at Fort McHenry, he written a letter to the commauding colo of the marines,in which he says that the pribdepidenme i appearance and conduct of the marines who recently served under his ecmmand were such as to extitlethem to commendation and thanks. Maj. Hay woud, commanding the marine barracks, In pub- lishing these expressions of commendation to his officers and meu, takes occasion to add to the above his own gratification at the bandsome manner in which they have ac- quitted themselves under the most trying circumstances. PrOPOSFD ARMY REORGANIZATION.— There is A movement among the representa- t.ves of the south to indace the President to recommend the necessary legislation to Con- gress to increase the infantry regiments of the army to twelve compaaies instead of ten, a8 now Constituted. This would give to the army one hundred additiona! lieutenants and Bfiy captains. Tne plan of increase also contimplates an additional lieutenant col- orel aud major for each regiment, which would make twenty-five appolat to that grade. Those who ur; B ment say that the south is but sparsely - resented among the officers of the army, and that if the President will give that section the bulk of the appointments that i meet no opposition from the soathern Con- gressmen, and if ds beli+ ved at the same time — to popularize the army in the Sout! SYraIn's APOLO FOR THE PAST AND P! oMISES FOR THE FUTURE.—Tha Spanish min ister, Mr. Mantilla, assures the acting Secretary of State that the government of See is disposed to ratify the complaints which the United States mo ‘sire to make in regard to the cases of the Rising Sun and the F lien Rizpah, even before they are form. ulated and to prevent hereafier any cause for similar ones arising. It appears that the acts complained: were both committed ae the same officer, a subaltern, of a rau equivalent to that of a coxswain in our navy, through misunderstanding or excess of zeal. Mr. Mantilla states that the Span. ish government directs him to give to the gove:nment of the United States the assur. ance that hereafter all the st}, tions of the treaty shall be strictly obs-rved. even by the smailest vessels of the Spanish navy, to- ward any American vessels that may be found along the Cuban coast and within Spanish maritime jurisdiction, and that orders bave now been given by the governor general to that eifect.
