The Superintendent of Indian Affairs in Oregon sugrests to the government that the troops destined pte opernte ugitinst the Indians in that Territory be ne een withdrawn at once, andthat. our trae policy is to send a pescemaker among them to redeem the pro- muses mede of presents of agricaltural implements, &e. The President is assured that the present hos: tile position of the Indians is not owing to the non. ratifiention of treaties made with them, but pro- coeds from other causes, the principal of which is their fear of being driven from their homes, and of other tribes from the Pacific coast being forced upon them. They promise to create no further difficalty if the troops are withdrawn and their rights respoct ed. The nomber of Indians in Oregon and Wash- ington Territories is said to be greatly exaggerated by parties interested in army speculations. A special agent is about to proceed to New Cale- donia and Vancouver's Island, and will leave in « few days. The nature of his instructions is un- known, but it is supposed to be of investigation and for the parpose of informing our government cor- rectly of events that may occur in that region. The administration has decided to send a fleet of six or seven veasels to Paraguay, including the Har riet Lane and Fulton. The former will be the flag- ship. Capt. Page, who has been selected to command the expedition, will also charter such other steamers as may be deemed necessary and are adapted to the service. Paraguay is supposed to be able to make a vigorous resistance ® any outside force. Lopez has several small vessels, mounting six or eight guns, three steamer recently built ia England, a standing army of twelve thousand men, a fort mounting a hundred guns, of various cali- bres, and a cargo of arms and ammunition lately received from England. The Buropa arrived at Boston at five o'clock yes terday sfternoon. Ter mails will reach here this afternoon. ‘The steamsbip Empire City arrived from Havana yesterday morning, with advices dated on the 234 of Jaly. Twelve bundred and forty five coolies had been landed lately from the Chilean, Peravian, Spanish and Bremen vessels already reported. The ebips had lost two handred and eighty-eight unfor- tonates ftom natural causes and suicides in transitu The American brig Nancy, Captain Williams, had been arrested by the Spanish authorities, aided by the acting Consul of the United States, on the grounds of being fitted out for the African slave trade. Captain Williams and all bis crew were placed in the Tacon prison, although strongly assert- ing that he was going on a Jegal voyage for palm oil. Trade wae active. Sugars were in good de mand, at an advance. Exchanges were, with mode rate transactions, sterling at 13. per ceat premium; United States Northera and Eastern cities 60 day bills 24 to 24 per cent premium. It was expected that the Spanish Minister in Washington would go to Cuba in the frigate Berenguela, now ia our waters. We have files and letters from the City of Mexico, dated on the Istand $d of July. Our advices do not state that President Zuloaga bad actually fled, Dnt that evident preparations were being made for his specdy retirement Money had been sent from the capital in advance. Several of the ministers had resigned and sent off their families, and Zaloaga was at a convenient place in the suburbs, from which to leave. The operations of General Miramon, already | defeated in the west, were looked to as the oniy | hope of the executive. Raports from most of the States picture a sad state of anarchy and confasion. Surveys were, however, being made for the construc tion of the railroad from Vers Cruz to Mexico city. We have files from the West Indies dated at Kingston, Jamaica, on the 10th of July. There was still a loud cry for laboring hands. The Immigra- tion Commissioners had appropriated $100,000 to promcte the introduction of East Indians, and a like um for the bringing over of Chinese. Twea'y five dollars bonu~ is off-red for the landing of a free Afri can apprentice; but it is to be feared that our colonial friends will get but few hands at that sum, the King of Dahomey having lately assured the Freach Com modore «n the coast that he could not sell his chat- tels on the spot under $110. A strict blockade of Cuba is recommended in the Jamaica papers as the only means of ending the naval dif culties of England with the United States Refiesing showers had fallen in some parte of the island. Yellow fever was scarcely heard of. St. Vincert offers $50 per head for the iatrudaction of | each coolie, Irish, English or Scotch laborer who may be broughtthere: $30 for Americans from the United States, and $40 for those trom British Ame rica. The Jamaica mining reports are favorable. We have « file of Bermuda papers dated to 13th of July, bot they do not contain any news of icspor tance | A verioos and most extraordinary fracas took day afternoon on the corver of Pine and | Nasenn street, between Emannel B.

A reper the collision, containing the con- versation that took place on the occasion and all other particulars us we have received them, are published in anotber column of the Henan. A special meeting of the Board of Health of the town of Castleton was held yesterday morning for the perpore of teking into cons the case of | the echooner Salamander, then lying at Factory ville. Th had been employed asa lighter in | conveying oods infected with yellow fever from the | frigate Susquebanna. Her appearance at Factory- ville had created much alarm among the inhabitants of that villoge, who were apprehensive that conta- gion might lark on board of the vessel, although | Dr. Thompson had certified as to her having complied with the necessary quarantine regulations of the port. A resolution for her removal was adopted, aubject to the opinion of the counsel of the Roard ax to whether they had legal powers sufficient | to enforce the execution of the order of removal, of which some doubt existedamong the mombera of the Board.

Any person not acquainted with the course of public events for the last year and a half, might be cheated into the idea, by reading some of the most reckless and vio- Jent opposition journals, thet there never was ap administration deserving more the reprobation of the American people than that of Mr. Buchanan. The false and calamnious representations of these few partiean organs can bave no influence whatever on the mind of any candid person who has watched intelli- gently the course of that administration. For what is the fact? Never for the last twenty yeaxs bas the government of the United States been so highly esteemed and respected by foreign governments as it is at this moment ; and whatever may be the influence of partisan politics among ourselves, the general sentiment of the people towards Mr. Buchanan and his administration is one of respect, confidence and approval. Look at the position which we occupy in rola- tion to foreign governments, There has not arisen, during the period that Mr. Buchanan has been at the head of affairs, a single question affecting international Jaw or the honor of the United Sintes that bas not been decided in our favor. The question as to the right of Eaglish cruisers to visit our merchant vessels threatened at one time to give rise to most serious com- plications betwoen this country and Great Britain; but the attitude assumed by our go- verpment, and the firmness and determination manifested by it to maintain that position, had the effect of convincing the English Ministry that their best policy was to withdraw the pre- | tensions which they had put forward, and to acknowledge, virtually, if not in words, that our position was well taken. The right of search or visitation has, therefore, been abandoned for the present, whatever may be the efforts to renew it In lieu of it, our government has notified that of Great Britain that it is ready to receive and consider any suggestions that may be proposed toward the establishment of a system for verifying the nationality of ves sels at sea, and ascertaining their right to hoist the flag of thie, that or the other nation. The triumph of the principle contended for in this matter fs not a little complimentary to ur asa nation. The course of our government in resisting the maritime encroachments of Eng- land proved highly satisfactory to the French, Rueeian and other European governments, jndging from the tone of the principal journals | of thore countries. Even a portion of the Englieh prees chimes in in the general chorus of applause that has greeted Mr. Bachanan on the moral victory which he achieved in putting a ttop to the exercive of an assumption calea- Jated to degrade the nation that tolerated it. While, therefore, the British government has been compelled to withdraw ite pretensions and to respect our flag, the other European govern- ments that have been always jealous of Eng land’s maritime superiority, have appland- ed the attitude which we aeenmed, and have since regarded us with increased admiration and respect. This incident in our foreign policy is of iteelf sufficient to entitle the administration of Mr. Buchanan to the highet degree of favor at home and abroad. Ite course in regard to all other questions of foreign policy, arising with Mexico and the Central and South Ameri- can republics, has been marked by the same bigh toned firmness and determination that have characterized its relations with Great Britain in regard to the right of search ques. tion. The course of the adminiatration in reference to quettions of internal policy has been no less marked by wirdom and firmness, It had be- queathed to it by the Cabinet of poor Pierce two m rformed—the eupremsny of the United States forernment has been restored in Utah, avd thirgsare fn a fair train for the excision of of those usages cf the Mormon charch that were a dirgrace to the civilizatioa of the age. Whea the troops were being got ready for the expedi- tion to Utab, we aseerted, again and again, that notwithstanding the raviaga and meances of Brigham Young avd the seventy. Elders, the Mormens would not dare to fire a shot at the troops; and experience has proved the truth of our arsertion, Bat, nevertheless, we have to tbeck the firmness of the administration for having the members of thie church militant 60 quickly brought into subjection. It did not neod the exerciee of force to attain this end; but it id need the exbibition of force. Mr. Buchanan Wee determined to permit no trifling with the suthority of the general government, and he therefore deepatobed the expedition, with the re- eults that we bave seen. The restoration of peace and good order to Kansas was a still more difficult and delicate tark; but even that we have secn successfully / accomplished, and by the exercise of th, eame qualities of firmness and d mivation on the part of the Preside! “ His judgment told bim that he had but he course to pursue, and that was to abide by law.

It may be, nevertheless, that at the coming elections throughout the country the supporters of the administration will be found in a minority; but we do not think that eftch will be the care. Even ehould it be so, however, the fact might properly be interpreted rather as a condemration of the particular candidates de- feated than as an indication of the pepular sen- timent regarding the Executive. The compro- mise measures of 1850 were followed by great popular excitement ; but it was only evaneecent, and North and South soon forgot that any cause of diseension had existed between them. The passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill was followed by like manifestations, and the next succeeding elections were disastrous to the party of the administration ; but that feeling was also short lived, and the popular mind soon again flowed in its accustomed channela. So the Lecompton bill was seized on last session by political firebrands, and converted into an instrument of opposition to the administration. Bat that movement, if it has not already died out, owing to the fair and impartial course which Mr. Buchanan has pursued in Kansas, bas lost a good portion of its vitality, and will hardly succeed in raising obstacles in his path. The people of the United States soon weary of these senselexs party agitations, and are not long in realizing how egregiously they have been humbugged by demayogues, It will be so in this instance; and, whatever may be the re- sult of the coming elections, the North and South will, ere long, unite in recognizing the fairness and ability displayed by the adminis- tration in the management of all questions, forcign and domestic. Tue Sovruexn Unrnas Givine Vinorsta tae Go By.—Our readers will recollect that the pew Soutbern disunion and Southern confede- racy scheme of Mr. Yancey, of Alabama, and William Walker, late of Nicaragua, ts confined to the “cotton States,” on the ground that in behalf of disunion they alone are to be trusted. The Richmond South baving asked why Virginia was £0 cavalicrly treated by these Alabama fire- eaters and filibusters in being left out of their programme, the Charleston Merrury argues that it is because “Virginia is not now circnmstanced to maintain the leadership of the South.” To evpport this opinion the Mereu-y brings ina bill of complaint against her, from which we select the following, taking the liberty to reduce it into a few worde:- 1. Virginio, after taking the same ground on the tariff question of 1852-%, gave to South Carolina “g@ sorry support” in her nullification disunion experiment upon that euject. 2. Virginia wae the first, and, save perhaps one, the only slave State “in whieh the eman- cipation of ber tlaves has been deliberately considered in her Legislature as a policy to be adopted.” 3. Virginia undertook to lead the South on the California question (1850), but did she “ re- deem ber solemnly repeated pledgos to the South and to the world? Far from it. “ Vir- ginia submitted, with the frontier benefit of the new fugitive slave law, and she dragged down with her the whole South into sabmission.”” 4, Within “ the last six months” “Governor Wise has unbluehingly and defiantly fraternized with Walker (the Kansas Walker) and apolo- gized for Douglas” These will be found hard nuts to crack by the little knot of secessionists that are located in Virginia; for the important hietorical facts thus recalled to mind are somewhat in confilot with the'dreams and schemes of the fire-eaterr. We think that Mr Yencey and General Walker, in their new echeme of a Southern revolution and republic, were quite right in leaving Virginia and all the border slave States out; and we snapect, too, that dieunion even in the “cotton States,” is bat a rigmarole of “ round and fary, signifying notbing.”” NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JULY / ¥i 1858.

But, aside from these crouk- ings, the general testimony is from New York, New Engiand, the West and the South, that the harvest promises to be a bountiful one. The grass crop bas turned out better than in any season for years past; aad consequently it may fairly be expected that the products of the dairy will be abuudaat and cheap, and that there will be a good eupply of cattle to fornish our markets wikh beef and mutton. The wheat crop has been ia some places, it is true, much injured by rust and in- sect; but on the whole it promises to be a fair average crop Corn, which is the great staple of the Wert, and on which the farmers ia that region place the most reliance for their profits. gives every indication, with the requisite con- ditions as to weather, of yielding large gains to the cultivators, Potatoes have been planted more extensively than in former years, and are turning out well. And in the South and South- west the sugar and cotton cropa will be fuliy up to the average yield; for, after all, the inju- ries occasioned by the inundation were not so extensive as to affect materially the agricultural produce of the Mississippi valley. Therefore, under all points of view, we have abundant reasons to be thankful to Providence for the smiling harvests with which all portions of the country have been blessed. From Europe the accounts of the crops are no less encouraging. It is a long time since the favorable conditions of the harvest were so general all over the Continent. In addition to thie, peace reigns throughout. There are now no armies in the ficld to tread down the grain-laden fields, burn up the magazines of corn, and cause provisions to rise to famine prices. The plenteousness of the European harvest and the abecnce of war will, of course, have the effect of diminishing very much the usual annual exportation of provi- sions from the United States; but that loss will be more than compensated to our producers by the greater yield which they will have to gather in, and will help to reduce, in an equal propor- tion, the cost to our own consumers. If we only had eomething like a fair system of marketing, by which the products of the farm could be sold to the consumers, without the intermediary of two or three classes of forestallers, hucksters and retailers, the cost of living in our city would be reduced, so far as the mere nocossarica of life are concerned, from 40 to 50 per cent. That isa matter to be regulated by oar city govern- ment; but in the meantime let us be thaukful for a plenteous harvest. Tue Vick Presipent’s Srexcu.—We publish in another column a speech made by Vice President Breckenridge at a barbecue in Florence, Ky., on the 24th inst, It is a tempe- rate and able vindication of the policy of the administration on the leading questions of the day. The admission of Kansas with the Le- compton con#itution particularly claimed his attention, and be stated what we had urged all through that mishievous agitation—that Kan- eas might have bee admitted last December on the plan recommnded by Mr. Bachan- an, and all the brkerfags and waste of time saved to Congees, The course of action adopted by te republican party and their democratic tiends outside the party lines, is severely \ondemned by Mr. Brockenridge. They have practically, he says, made waste paper of the constution, and stand now on the outer edge of tht whirlpool of which Mr. Lloyd Garrison is th. centre. The democratic party receives nO Sal] share of landation from the Vice Presidyt, and he makes a warm appeal in ite behalf ) the cons of Old Kentucky. This is the first oportunity, since the adjournment of Congress, Mr3rocken- riége has availed bimeelf of to give Werance | to his sentiments regarding the action yf the | administration, and his speech will bh read with interest. With reference to the quyjon of the right of search, it is remarkable thaghe Vice President expresses no official opiny, He says that “if we can believe the publ. prints” it is settled on a basis agreeable tol American pride and conforming to American interests. “ American ships,” he adds, “ where- ever they sailed, were hereafter to be regarded as inviolable as American dry land itself.” We presume he meant, if we can believe the public printe, that is to «ay, the Washington Union Sapnatn Brragine my Hen Piaces.—We wee that President King, of Colambia College, went swimming at Rockaway on last Sabbath day, and came very near being drowned in consequence. people in high places persistently Sabbath in these daye of Sabbath ng the Jommittees, anti: Sunday newsboys" parties, and other pious | movements.

Gresley’s affection for runaways pasieth the love of women. Tre Rrsatpo Rivanpist or tae Lossy.— We see that the famous Orsamus Benajah Mat- teson, the captain of the forty thieves in the Thirty-fourth Congress, is circulating among his constituents, with the design of procuring a renomination to Congress. This iacorruptible patriot has done so much to exalt the character of that body that it would be a great pity to see his landable ambition frustrated. It was he who shocked the verdant feelings of Reverdy Jchnson, by communicating the intelligence that there were a score or two of men in the House of Representatives banded together in solemn league and covenant not to give their votes for any measure by which private in- terests were to be promoted, without receiving therefor a proportionate division of the spoils; and that he, the Hassarac of the band, was the controlling and guiding spirit of this con- federacy of the forty thieves. Figuring in the same conspicuous character, it was he who, during the same Congress, advised the agents of the “free wool” movement to appropriate $25,000 for the use of the republican organs, besides distinguishing himself by other acts of a like nature too numerous to mention. Now, it would be quite refreshing if this most worthy aspirant for fresh Congressional honors should gain his object in procuring the nomination from his party, and if there should result a regniar old fashioned stump canvass throughout his district. The voters of Utica would then have an opportunity of becoming minutely acquainted with the signal merits of the Rinaldo Rinaldini of the lobby, and with the various devices to which the band resorted to put money in their purse; and they could not fail to be deeply impressed with a sense of the honor indirectly reflected on them through him. By all means let Benajah get the nomina- tion, and Ict his people have a chance of hear- ing him and his antagonist on the stump. The exposures will be rich, and the contest most interesting. Marrmse Ovr or Parrms is New Yors.— The next fall elections in this State promise to be more than usually complicated and interest- ing. There are more parties in the field than there ever were, probably, on any previous 00- easion. There is the repnblican party proper and the republican party improper—by which fs meant that portion of the party which leans towards anti-Lecompton democrats; then there is the remnant of the old whig party pure, which can still poll quite a respectable number of votes; there is the Know Nothing or Ameri- can party, which polled some 66,000 votes at the last election; and last of all in the list of opposition elements there is the abolition-tem- perance-women’s-rights free love-and-bloomerite party, with Gerrit Smith as its candidate for Governor. In face of all these hostile but discordant ele- ments, the democratic party presents quite a respectable appearance.

With this sanitary condition of the democracy, as contrasted with the fragmentary state of things in the oppost- tion camp, it will not be at all surprising if the See of the fall elections in this State will rove a triumph to the unterrified.

Wasuineton, July 28, 1858. The President Las received a communication from. a late Superintendent of Indian Affairs in Oregon Territory, who has had a long experience of the tribes now engaged aguinst Col. Steptoe in that re- gion, suguesting that the war should not be forced on, but that the troops should be withdrawn at once, and throwing some new light on the causes of the difficulty. This communication states that the Snake Indians were not engaged in the attack oa Col. Steptoe; the Snakes are confined to Utah and the regions izamediately south of it. The Spokans, Walla-Wallas, Nez Perces and other tribes now ina hostile attitude, are a docile, friendly people, * with whom there is no necessity for any trouble. The real cause of the difficulty is the presence of the troops at Fort Walla-Walla. The Iudians are, jealous of them and fearful that violence is going to be used towards them. In Jane, 1861, the thea Superintendent of Indian Affairs for Oregon cailed convention of all these tribes at Dalles, Delegates from each, except one, were present. They stated that they were informed it was the intention of the whites to drive all the red mea from the rising to the setting sun, and that now, siace they were cettled on the Pacific coast, they intended to drive ail the sickly and hostile Indians from the lower country into their lands, which they would not submit to. If they were not molested in the enjoyment of their country, and other tribes were not forced in upon them, and the army was kept with them; that they would obey the government in all things; that whites might trade and travel among them, and they would guarantee protection to their lives and property. In 1861 there were five military posta in Oregon, from which, at the Super- intendent’s suggestion, the troops were withdrawn for three years, during which time not a dollar was spent by government for any Indian troubles what- ever. It is urged upon the President that it is a mistake to enter upon a war now; the true policy is to seud @ peacemaker among the Indians, to redeem the promises made them of presents of agricultural im- plements, and to withdraw the army. Mr. Bucha- nan is assured that the cause of the present hostility is vot the non-ratification of any treaties (as stated), ' because the majority of the Indians do not want the treaties ratified, and this fact has been stated to the government by the sub-agent, Mr. Craig, in his last t. rine number of Indians engaged with Colonel Steptoe has been greatly exaggerated by parties in- terested in keeping troops in that lovality for the purpose of speculating in furnishing supplies, &c. In the whole range of both Oregon and Washingtoa Territories east of the Cascade Mountains there are not altogether 1,800 warriors, and the whole number of Indians in both Territories, women and children included, does not amount to 20,000. With the ex- ception of a »mall band of Klickitats up in the mountains, all the tribes are friendly to the whites. ‘There is no necessity for troops at Fort Walla-Walla at all Their presence there is the canse ot all the trouble. If the Indians are driven to a war it will be a protracted and expensive one; for these tribes are very wealthy, ard can keep themselves well sup, plied with arms and ammanition. They raise thousands of horses, witch they sell in the Territo- ries for from $50 to $1004 piece; and they have plenty of money. Thi+ communication has created some sensation in the Cabinet, and bas rather puzzled them as to what their Indian policy should be in the present emer- peney. ‘The statements published in eertain New York Papers that the Turkish government and ita ser- vant, the Admiral Mohammed Pasha, who was sent to the United States for the purpose of building a chip of war. bad been deceived by American repre- sentatives at Constantinople, are contradicted at the Departments at Washington. Neither the Turkish government nor Admiral Mohammed Pasha expected the United States government would baild the vessel, The utmost they expected was that our fovernment would lend them, or let them have, the skillof oar naval constructors. This government, ae in known, exhibited great kindness in the matter ; but the fact is that the Admiral did not understand our people, and was dragged about aod humbugged fomech that he became disgusted; and then the Torkish treasury may not be quite tull enough just now. Mr. Nugent is to go as special agent of the gov- erument to New Caledonia and Vancouver's Island. The State Department is preparing his instructions, and he will leave in a few days. The natare of his mission cannot be well defined. It will be rather one of investigation, and to keep the government at Washington correctly informed of facts and occur- rences there. ‘The New Granadian Legation has no information of the ratification of the Cass-Herran convention, the mails not having arrived from Bogota when the’ steamer left Aspinwall. Information, considered re« liable, has been received by our government, how- ever, that the convention had been ratified, leaving out the seveuth article, which was to give usa coat depot in the bay of Panama, aod modifying the seventh. The precise terms of modificdtion of the seventh article are not yet known. ‘The government has received information, which it does not doubt, of the fall of Zaloaga. It is not in’ contemplation to send another Minister at prosent to Mexico; the administration will first see the course of events. I haye understood it is the intention of the constitutional government of Mexico, when its power may be firmly established, to take all the property of the church, and allow the priests an income.
