Major Eagan left camp Floyd about the 25th ult., with a body of picked troops, to chastise the red skins. From the present aspect of affuirs, the Indian tribes | of that Territory, numbering 18,500 warriors, are preparing for a war on the whites of Western Utah, especially those in Carson Valley and the Washoe mining districts, This hostility on the part of the red skins is alleged to be on account of the indig- nity of the whites towards them for a year past, and especially for the massacre of Indians on Hum- | boldt river. A despach from Cape Island, N. J., reports that | the United States steamer Walker was run into at | three o'clock yesterday morning, off Absecom, by | an unknown schooner. The steamer sank in half | anhour. The captain and forty of the crew were saved in the boats, but about twenty of the crew are missing. Accounts from Pike's Peak state that Isaac V. Fowler, the defaulting Postmaster of this city, ha recently been identified in that region by an old acquaintance, Fowler, who had assumed the name of Achille Drance, when first confronted, denied his own identity, but on being pressed finally acknowledged who he was. He had won a coupleof thousand dollars at gambling, the re- port says, and proposed starting for Salt Lake and California, intending ultimately to visit Australia, The Court of Pardons of New Jersey have re- fused the application for a commutation of the death sentence of Rev.

The first departure will be on the 16th of July, and a long list of freight and passengers is already engaged for the trip. The only business of interest which came up at the meeting of the Commissioners of Public Chari- ties and Correctién yesterday was a communication from the Emigration Commissioners, informing them that they have appointed a Conference Com- mittee to adjust the account between the two Boards. It was referred to the Committee of the Whole. The number in the institutions at present is 7,280, a decrease of thirty-seven for the week. The argument in the West Washington Market case was again postponed to Wednesday next. ‘The cotton market yesterday continued heavy, while sales of 1,000 bales were made from store, and late in the afternoon the previous day about 1,400 bales were sold. The market was so irregular, and especially for the lower grades, as to render tt difficult to give reliable quotations. Middling uplands ranged from 10%. a 107c., without any desire to sell at these figures ou the part of holders, and especially below 10%c. There was considerable ex- citement in breadstufls, with an active demand for export, giving rise to a speculative movement, especially in dour and wheat. Sales of the former were made to the extent of about 31,000 bbis., closing at an advance of 10c. a Lic. per bbl., and 190,000 bushels of wheat, closing at 2c. per bushel advance over previous current rates. Corn was also firmer and active, the sales haying reached about 60,000 bushels, at quotations given in another place. Pork was firmer, with moderate sales, including new mess at $18 1234 a $18 25, and new prime at $13 50 a $13 621. Sugars were steady and quiet, sales having been confined to about 300 a 400 hhds, Cuba muscovados, at prices given in another column. Coffee was firm, with sales of Laguayra, Rio aud Java at full prices. There was more freight offering, and among the engagements were about 15,000 bushels grain, mostly wheat, at 7}. in bulk and at Ta, in ship's bags, to Liverpool, and 8,500 bbis. flour at 1s. 10344. as., with flour to Londoujat 2s. 94., and to Glasgow at 2s. 64. “Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.” We refer the inquiring reader to our reports of yesterday's proceedings in the Baltimore Convention. They were unique, and in every point of view they are full of instruc- tion, They betray the character of the mate- rials of which these national party conventions are composed, and particularly the predomina- ting element of raffianism, to the full gaze of the world. We perceive, too, in these scenes of brutal violence, where all should be har- mony and conciliation, that the days of this demoralized democratic party are numbered, and that it is in the agonies of death. Upon the question of the contested Southera delegations the New Yorkers asked another night's reflection. They hesitate between the alternative of sacrificing the party for the sake of Douglas and the expedient of dropping Douglas to save themselves, They fear that in dropping Douglas they will array the solid Northwest against the Albany Regency, and they see that in adhering to him they only pre- cipitate the inevitable explosion, For once the wily, plotting Dean Richmond is in water be- yond his depth. He finds that all his beautiful arrangements perfected at Syracuse last Sep- tember, for dictating the candidate of this Con- vention, fall short of the necessities of the case. But he and his delegation do not yet despair, or they yrould not have asked another aight for the purposes of a treaty of peace. We can tell Master Richmond, however, and Mr. Charch, his henchman, that they may as well abandon at once all their delusive hopes of the spoils and plunder of the next adminis- tration. They are losf. ‘The democratic party | isdestroyed. There is not the remotest visible | ghost of a contingency for the reunion of the | belligerent elements of this revolutionary con- } vention.

It is too badly cut up, too seriously crippled, and bas too many bones broken, to be healed and put upon its legs aguin in a single day or a single year. It is practically dissolved and disbanded, whatever tay be the remedies attempted by this Conven- tion. In brief, the National Convention of the democratic party, having become degraded to the base condition of Tammany Hall ia its worst days of rufflanism, is only suffering the fate of Tammany Hall—discords, diviajons, re@ellion defeat and .

They are but tiakers, end ft is this dirty tinkering that has ruined their party ‘ | The Cpering of the East—Co: Policy of the Nations of Christendom. The opening of the many-millioned East to commerce and a free intercourse with Chris- tendom isa question that now occupies the attention of the leading Powers of Europe and America, and the contrast of policy pursued by the several governments involves one of the most curious and instructive problems of the age. The White Czar, as the Emperor of Russia is called in the far East, has extended his sway over the wandering Mongols of Northern Asia, from the Caspian sea to the mouth of the Amoor river, and both China and Japan look with a feeling of apprehension upon his ad- vancing power. In the East, as in the West, the tide of conquest has flowed from the North over the South, and it is not little curious to ob- serve that two of the great currents of human migration, which have flowed from the steppes of Northern Asia in opposite directions, are now meeting on the shores of China in hostile array. The Teutonic branch, after traversing the north of Europe, pursued the paths of its developement upon the sea, and their ships to-day, having rounded the Cape of Good Hope, crowd the waters of China and Japan. The other branch, the Sclaves, following the foot- steps of their Tartar-Mongol predecessors, ar- rive at the same point by the century-trod land route, and, though feared and hated by the ruling races in China, are yet lodked upon by these as having the kin of a common origin with themselves, and alike antagonistic to the comers in ships. It is the confident belief of the Cabinets of Western Europe that Russia has sedulously cultivated this idea in Eastern Asia, and this supposition forms to-day one of the complications of the web of European politics. While these events have been progressing, another branch of the Teutonic race, pursuing its western march, made its home in North Ameri- ca. There it has spread from seu to sea, and, like its European brethren, has pursued its path of developement upon the ocean. It has cir- cumnavigated the world. and to-day its repre- sentatives stand, with those of Russia, England and France, before the gates of China, The history of events there for the past twenty years is known to our readers. ‘The opium war of England, the subsequent occupation of the five ports by the same Power, our Japan expe- dition under Commodore Perry, the advance of the Russians upon the Amoor, the landing of the French in Cochin China, the capture of Can- ton by the Allies, the treaties with the United States entered into by China and Japan, the attack on the Peiho forts, the reception of our Ambassadors at Pekin and Jeddo, aad the de- parture and arrival here of the first foreign Japan Embassy, are the prominent eveats that mark the contrast of policy pursued by the several governments, and which point indica- tively to the future results to all. The last advices from the scene of these events inform us that the Chinese government has positively rejected thedemands of France and England, and the course of the latter gorernment, in asking a large appropriation from Parliament for the Chinese war, leaves no doubt as to the policy those Powers mean to pursue. Force is to be retorted to for the pur- pose of breaking down the exclusive polley of China, and opening her crowded ports and rivers to the commerce of the world. We can have little doubt as to the immediate result of over tne Uninée, ur payonity of the European science, art and arms, gives him as inv > advantage in the war, and the event of batile between European and Asiatic forces is a fore gone thing. It is a prevailing idea in England that Russian officers are employed in drilling the masses of troops in China, and their resources for the struggle; but we do not find that this supposition rests on any tangible basis. It may be merely a political mancuvre, on the part of English statesmen, to influence the granting of large subsidies by Parliament, or to prepare the people for any possible re- verse, Of the real policy pursued by Russia we know nothing. Her intercourse with the scene of events is entirely distinct from that of the other nations, and we learn little of her move- ments wntil their results begin to be perceived. Our own policy stands in strong contrast with that of the Powers of Western Europe. We have made treaties of amity and commerce with both China and Japan, which have been ratified by the respective governments, and our diplomatic representatives in Asia have come to hold the position of friendly relations with ull the parties. Anevent of even greater sig- nificance is found in the presence here of the first toreign embassy that has gyer left Japan, and the friendly relations which this intercourse has established and is developing. Political re- lations have been the subject of personal confe- rence with our government, the important ques- tion of currency has been practically examined by the Embassy at our Mint, commercial rela- tions are to be discussed by them with our New York Chamber of Commerce, and our busy hives of industry are everywhere thrown open to and being attentively examined by them. When this Embassy returns to Japan, as it will soon do, it will go laden with strange and curi- ous information regarding Western civilization; and should they not be compelled to disem- bowel themselves on landing on their own shores, by the triumph of a reactionary poliey in their own government, the lore they carry back will form the germ of a new era in East- ern Asia. In the meantime, eveats seem to be hastening on to a warlike issue on the shores of China, and our representatives will be called upon to play there, in the réle of peace. a most important and influential part.

In consequence of its | falling into the hands of this class, difficnl- ties arose which have never been satisfactorily settled. One of these difficulties still exists between the press of the country and what is called the American Telegraph Company, who own the extensive line which runs along the Atlantic seaboard from Nova Scotian to New Orleans. This company, covering as it does a most im- portant section of the country, and taking in its route most of the principal cities, has a capital of one and a half million of dollars, which is about to be inereased to two millions. On this capital its annual net earnings ave twenty per cent, and within six months, if no accident ocenrs, it will probably declare this handsome dividend. It appears, however, that its managers are not satisfied with this already remunerative income, and, on the principle of “the more gain the greater greed,” think that enormous profits, maintaia a monopoly, and do as they please. The first conflict they have had on this score is with the press. But the more acute shareholders of the com- pany see in this conflict, and very justly, too, an opposition which will lead to the p to go that wa They aaton ‘shed when they are told (hat they are composed for the most part of mercantile men, who sacrifice’ their time and money to this duty.

It is not without some natural self gratulation that we are able to bear the most ample testimony to the good breeding displayed by the ladies of the metropolis in the matter of the Japanese visit. It will be remembered that we alluded, more in sorrow than in anger, to the very bold and pre- sumptuous manners of the women of Washing- ton, who, being demoralized by coming in con- tact with the fighting members of Congress and the corrupt and unprincipled lobby, formed themselves into predatory bands, and made guerilla charges upon the illustrious Orientals, worrying them almost up to the suicidal point. It will be recollected, also, that the venerable Premier, General Cass, was fain to confess to the Ambassadors that there was no power in the government, either in his department or that of War, or Navy, or the Interior (the Treasury is quite another matter), to restrain the crinolinities from going where they pleased and doing what they pleased. Of course | the Orientals looked upon this shocking (to them) state of things with utter amazement, and thought, no doubt, that matters were much better managed in Japau. When they arrived at the rectangular village of Philadelphia, where sensations are so uncommon that the opening of anew dry goods shop will bring people from thirty miles around the country, the Japanese were pretty well tired of beiug stared at; but that circumstance did not prevent a repetition, in fact an exaggeration, of Washington rudeness. Their quarters were ruthlessly invaded by piratical craft of both sexes, and the illustrious “Tommy” narrowly escaped with his life. But we have changed all that. Now and here, it is the Japanese who run after the women rather than the women after the Japanese. Wedo not allude to the head men of the Legation. They, with all the reticence of high caste Orientals, pursue their usual rou- | by increasing the rates they can add to their tine of daily duty, looking upon the antics of | the subordinates with calm benignity or philo- sophic indifference, receiving graciously all per- sons who are formally presented, but mixiag with none.

When we take into consideration the fact that the press pay this company alone $150,000 per annum, and when we remember also the state- ment made by the President that the press pay only one-tenth of the annual receipts, some idea may be had of the immense business which has been done by the company, when they receive With such facts as these before them, the pub- lic can see how easy it is to establish competing — lines, and how much capital can be obtained on | such a favorable basis.

The principal grounds upon which his objectious are based are, first, that the revenue of the United States from articles of Canadian pro- duct on the Northern frontier have diminished to 1869 at the rate of sixty-two and a cent, and upon distillations from grain at the rate of a hundred and twenty-five per cent, ‘This, be argues, isa virtual abrogation of the letter and spirit of the treaty on the part of the Canadian government, inasmuch as that instru- ment was based upon the theory of free trade and the expectation of mutual commercial libe- rality. The profite arising from the carrying trade out of the navigation of the St. Lawrence by American vessels, and the free navigation of Lake Michigan by British vessels, he contends, are all in favor of British shipping; and in sup- because the -principal lines in the Union will then unite with these great ocean wires, and we shall be brought in daily contact with every portion of civilized humanity. Let these events be consummated, and the wealth that will be and the benefits that will accrue to the people of the United States, will be of a character eo magnificent that the enterprises of the present day, when weighed in the same scale, will appear almost igsignificaut ia their proportions. Japanese Notioxs oF Ovr Maurtanr Power.— Our Japanese visiters appear to take a lively interest in everything connected with our mili- tary organiation. The impressions made by it are strengthened by what they have seen since they came to New York. Not a day passes that they have not an opportunity of observing from their windows the passage of the ¢if¢ compa- nies of our volunteer troops, who atl make it » the produce of our Western markets, for ports on either side of Lake Ontario, Thus the con- tinuance of the treaty is represented by this report as prejudicial to the interests of the Northwest and inimical to the wishes of its in- habitants. But it appears that there is a difference of opinion upon the matter. [t is conteaded, on the other band, that while the interests of Buf- falo and the shores of Lake Erie may feel them- selves aggrieved by the working of the Reci- procity treaty, a strong sentiment exists in its favor on the whole line of the great lakes to the west of Buffalo. In order to give both sides of the question we publish, in connection with Mr. Hateh’s report, « letter from Mr. Mun- a great commercial community like this.

It appears that travel can now be performed, in stages aad by steamboat, from St. Paul to the Red river settlement—a distance of seven bun- dred miles—within eight days. The route lies through a fertile portion of the North- west, and the facility with which it is used for travel and transportation presents ap! prospect of frequent communication with the hitherto remote possessions of the Hudson Bay Company, and of the developement of our adja- cent frontier. Our readers are aware that the Red river settlement numbers about 10,000 souls, aad that the expanse over which it is widely scattered embraces resources conducive to a growing and prosperous community. The fact most strikiag in relation to this matter is, that the Hudsoa Bay Company have now adopted this newly opened route for the transportation of their goods. The old route, by sea and througie Hudson Bay to York Factory, which they have used for two centuries, is now relinguish- ed. So, also, all hopes appear to be abandoned of opening the much talked of route from Fort a on Lake Superior, via the Lake of the The energy which has coatributed to render this Minnesotta route so available cannot fail te advance the commercial interests of the North- west, and even now seems to bo an incentive te the liberal emigration moving towards the Red river valley in Minnesota. —_____. Tax Bosararrss.—From all accounts ‘the condition of Prince Jerome Bonaparte is such a to leave no hopes of his reco- very. The last bulletins represented him in «9 prostrate a state that his death was daily ex- pected. Individually he will leave behind him Sewer regrets than any member of his family. Deficient in judgment, self respect and dignity, his career has neither been a useful oor a bril- liant one. The last of the brothers of the great Emperor, he has, however, this claim upon our interest, that he has witnessed not only the foua- dation, but the restoration, of his family dynasty. Like the race whom it has supplanted, the Bx- King of Westphalia, whilst be has forgotten lit- tle, seems to have learned but little of the past. When the Italian campaign was projected be offered the most strenuous opposition to it im the Council of State, of which he was Preei- dent. Overruled by the opinions of wikee heads, he could not help exclaiming,” We have come again to the year 1821!" Prince Jerome has fived to find this belief falsified, like most of his other coavictions, But for the good tr- tune which gave him a great military gentus for bis brother, the world would have heard but little and cared less about his opinioas aud sayings.
