THE SUMMER RETREATS. SARATOGA. { Saratoga Springs, Aug. 23, 1854. ‘e Season at the Springs—The Weather the Dusty Roads—The New Yerk and the other Papers—The Guests Hall—The Nightly Hopse—The j which is now spproaching its pnelusion, will long be remembered by the ters of this place as one of the most t and fashionable which has occurred for years. Even the “oldest inhabitant” ares it to have no paraliel in the annals of memory,while the hotel keepers have reaped more substantial than mere “golden ? from the crowds with which their va- establishments have been thronged. Tt must not, however, be inferred that the number of visiters at the Springs, the past season, is owing to a propor- lemate increase of attraction, for such is not case. Indeed, the water, particularly of the grees Spring, is not equal, either in strength flavor, to past sea-ons, nor have the hotels adergone any perceptible alterations calcu- to augment their attractions; but the real ause of the great influx of visiters is alone ibutable to a variety of extraneous causes, not the least of whieb is the prevalence of i cholera in many of the adjacent towns and en, The weather here, as in most parts o° country, is remarkably dry.

The race by sloop rigged pleasare boats of twenty- seven feet keel and under came off on Saturday morning last. The bountiful shower on Friday night had cooled the heated atmosphere, and by ten o’clock a strong breeze from the southwest had set in, and the day was charming. The course the boats were to sail was decided to be a dead beat of about twelve miles to windward, round the buoy off College Point, and back to the atake-boat, which was anchored off the mouth of the beautiful harbor ano bay of New Rochelle. The following boate entered for the race :— Gipeey.......... 24 feet keel, by J. B. Urmy. 235. % Ca M. Hotoan, Jr. L. K. Brid, “4 “ “ 4“ “ & “ « “ « “ « «“ « “ « James Starkins. “ “ IW.

The other boats went off at the start, at precisely fifteen minutes before twelve o'clock, and the result was as follows :— Time. H. Wide Awake, first prize $50... . 8 Bogeenet, second » $30.. Fly ing Cloud, third prize, $20.. +3 Very soon after the start it was pretty evident that the contest was with the Huguenot, Gipsey, Flying Clond, and the Louisa Jane. The Haguenot managed to get a long start of all the others, but the Wide Awake passed her, and was the first to round the off College Point; the Hi next, then the Flying Ciond, and lastly the Gipser, nearly a mile . On the return the foterest became extremely exciting, for with a free wind, it was evident that the Gipsey was going to make up what she had lost to windward; she came foaming on like a perfect racehorse. Soon after passing Throgg’s Neck point, she overhauled and pamed the Flying Cloud, and aA STMeeTy Cuamiag soeesiees to crew of the Haguenot. tow be- came » The Wide Awake, notwi nding she had carried away the jaw of her gaff, held her — till she rounded the stake boat amidst loud yOZZ96, Now came the most exciting part of the contest.

On a smail scale, in more Matured and settled society, the experiment has succeeded. Indian tribes, governed by tuemselves, are good citizens in the State of New York. They are thrifty farmera and sagacicus traders. Other tribes elsewhere have tilled the earth to the aban- — of the chase, _ tne statesman me A now “ igaorant present” through film of exis prejudice, and guide the events of tae Congressional deliberation must soon be thus abeorbed. Mr. Johnson, of Arkansas, has pressated the #) eme to the Senate in a proposition 0 organize the three Territories of Chel-o-kee, Mussogee ani Chah-ta, embraving Cherokee, Muscogee or Cre-k, Seminole, Choctaw, ard Chickasaw, nations or tribes. Ib order mote full y to extend the protection of the constitution and laws of the United States over them, be proposes, with the assent of tre tribes, to orgavise these toree Territories. Tae Territory of Chah-te is to consist entirely of the lands owned by absolute grant from the United States by the octaws ard Chi:kasaws; that of Muscogee, of those owned by the Creeks and Seminoles; and that of Chel-o-kee, of those owned by the Chero- kees, south of the thirty-seventh parallel of wess longitude; ‘and also the tract of country bound:d on the south by the northern line of Texas, on the north by the thirty.seventh parallel of north lati- tude, on the east by the one hundredth, and on the west the one hundred and third ‘allel of north ide, and the lands west of the same to the one hundredth parallel of west longi- tude; of the narrow strip of country belonging to the Ovages, between tha north line of the Cherokee lands and the thirty seventh parallel of north latitude, and of the smail tra:ts weat of Mis- souri, owned by the Senecas, the united bands of the Benecas and Shawnees, and the Quapsys, if these small tribes consent. Onr relations with the Indian tribes have arrived at that stage when we must soon select between the rutbleas policy of entire extermination o: the more mild and Christian plan of education and civilization. The idea of exterminating half a mil- lion of human beings, without first making an effort to avert the necessity, for a purpose so remorseless, is calculated to shock the moral sense of all just men. The frequent accounts that reach us from the Piains of a:tacks made by the Indians on weak and unguarded of emigrants, admonish us of the necessity which is year after year becoming more Pressing on Congress, to adopt some new, more comprehensive and enlightened course of policy in reference to these tribes of the desert. The buffalo andother game which have heretofore been relied on as the chief supply of food for the tribes will soon disappear, starval will render them des- perate, and they must either work, beg, die, or be- come what they most probably will—robbers and mard l. The plan of Mr. Johnson contempates to avert! these calamities by offering tothe Indian the re'uge which civilization and organized industry afford against destitation and misery. Tne plan provites that all the free citizens of the several nations, resi- dent or hereafter settling in the Territories, being of indian or Indian and white blood, are t> citizens of the United States, and the constitation of the United States is there to have the same eftect as elsewhere. Provisions also are madé for incor- porating other tribes in theee Territories, and for regulating the institution of marriage, prohibiting lygawy, end detining by a general la w the causes or which divorces may be granted. Many other details are prescribed for the govern: ment of the Territories. and it is to be enacted that, whenever the people of the three Territozies agree, one es ge ‘be created out of all, and called Neosho, which may afterwards become @ Stxte, when Conatess is satisfied as oo their capasity for self-goverpient, and they open their country for emigration snd settlement. 4 this echeme is praticable great confidence is verre ite promotes; for some of these tribes are already far sdvunced in civilization.

ES FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, MONEY MaRnici MARKET. Mowpay, Aug. 28—6 P. M. There was a better feeling in the stock market to day. Quotations appeared to be very much unsettied While an improvement of some importance was realized in some of the fancies, others experienced a decline to a considerable extent. At the first board Illinois Central bends fell off 1 per cent; Gold Hill, 3, Michigan Central Railroad, %; Cleveland and Toledo Railroad, 2. Exie Con- vertibles, 1871, advanced 2 per cent; Iacome, 1; Nicara- gus Transit, %{; New York Central Railroad, 13{; Erie Railroad, %{; Reading Railroad, 1%. There was no change in Cumberlahd. The bears wili undoubtedly avai! themselves of the improvement to put out lerge con- tracts. All sorts of ramors are in elrculation relative to the financial operations of the Erie Railroad Company, and those who have endeavored to keep ran of the moyements of the managers have been more thau oucs deceived. We have long stace given up fol.owing the tortuous course of this concern, feeling convinced thay no dependence could be placed upon the statements put forth. Every time the Eric Company have been in the market for s loan it hes been announced thet it would give them all the money they shoul! wact—ihat it vould pay off all the floating debt, ani provide means to complete and properly equip the road. #0 miny false statements have been made, so muth decoption prac- tived from the commencement, that we do not believe any of the stories now cireulating relative to the srrauge- ment forfands, but, on the contrary, feel convinced that the embarrassments of the company are at this momeat a¢ greatas ever, and that any aid received from indiri- duals will be of the most temporary character, for which reinous rates will be required. Any aid of this kind ox- tended to the company is only s postponement of the difficulties. No sooner is one floating debt wiped out by an issue of bonds, than another springs up, and in this way the finances have from the beginning been me- naged. The floating debt, which now in #0 tronbissome, hes been but « few months accumalating, and if it can be made an object for Mr. Vanderbilt, or any other man, tohelp the company along with this, not many weeks will elapse before some other capitalists will havo to carry another debt of similar character. It is merely a matter of time with the Erie Reftroad Gompany. It may atreggle along with the help of Mr. Vanderbilt and other capitalists until next February, but then there must be acollapre. All these negotiations are for the benefit of the bondholiers. The stockholders’ interest in the con- cern has long since ceased.

In the early part of next year, this connection must be made, and then we shall de able to take an early breakfast inst. Louie and tea in Cincinnati or Louisville. Even before that time— say by theJat of January —there will be a railroad con- ection with Terre Haute, which will greatly shorten tho distance between St. Louis and the cities we have ome |, whereby we will avoid the circuitous route via Chicego, and greatly lessen the time now employed in travel between the cities of the Obio and St. Louis. We understand that Colonel 0’Fallon, the President of this company, who has steadfastly adhered to its for- tunes, and contributed largely to its saccess, will resign bis position. Ho does so at the present time be- caure he thinks the road is out of the woods—that it no longer stands in need of his counsel or assistance, and will be finiahed at an early day. ‘We have injormation also that Brough’s road via Torre Haute will scon be vigorously prosecuted, all the finan- cial arrangements having been made for the purpose. Next year will ste this road completed.
