TBBBB HAUTE, INDIANA.

Monday Morning, December IS, 1871,

A writer in the Terre Haute "Express" upon the Wabash & Erie Canal question, with special reference to the memorial adopted by the State of "Ohio last winter upon the subject, say's Ohio has not the shadow of a cause of complaint against Indiana, for or on account of any violations of the arrangement which wa9 made between the two States'." Such we hope is the case, and if the "Express" writer is correct in his view of the matter, the beet policy for Indiana would be to let it proceed to suit in the United States Court as soon a.4 possible, for its determination of the matter would not only be final bnt it would pat at rest the owners of the canal, scrip, who will be ever annoying and pleading with the State for redress as long as they have a shadow of. right.— Indianapolis Sent\ne\.

When the "Sentinel" was discussing this matter with the New Albany "Ledger," and savagely accusing that paper of ignorance in relation thereto, it did not use an IF,but assumed and positively asserted the existence of the compact between Ohio and Indiana as set up by the Toledo "Commercial." Now, when we at the expense of being thought prolix by some of our cotemporaries, have given the documentary history of the entire matter, conclusively showing that no such compact ever had an existence, the "Sentinel" has no time to examine the refutation, and say whether there is such a contract or not, but only expresses the faint hope that it may not exist, and to give the sage opinion that if the EXPRESS writer is correct, the best policy for Indian^ would be to let it proceed to suit in the United States Court as soon as possible, for its determination of the matter wouldrfiot only be final, but would put at rest tlie owners of the "canal scrip," Ac. Ohio has never proposed to sue Indiana, either in the joint resolution of last winter or elsewhere. The proposition comes from an Indiana correspondent of the Toledo "Commercial," who charges his own State with attempting to defraud her creditors, and the "Sentinel" chimes in and says yes, let suit be brought by all means. Ohio will nfiver be guilty of the folly of suing, in a case where the contract, if any existed, is void for the want of the assent of Congress, by the express terms of the Constitution of the United States, and especially will she not sue, when, as we have clearly shown, no contract on the part of Indiana to repair, or rebuild her end of the canal ever was made. How a judicial decision adjudging that Indiana did not contract^with Ohio ill 1829 or in 1834, so rebuild or repair the Indiana end of the canal, would decide whether she ought to pay the canal stocks charged on the canal by the legislation of 1840 and 1847, called the Butler Bill, is not very obvious.

It is true that the ring falsify the negotiations and agreement between Ohio and Indiana as to the canal, with a view of furthering their ultimate designs to make the State pay the canal stocks, but as Ohio will never sue Indiana, because no cause of action exists, we suggest that the better way is for the press of Indiana to expose this new pretence by showing the true relations existing between Indiana and Ohio on the.subject of the canal. We hope that the "Sentinel" will some day learn the difference between "canal stocks" and "canal scrip." It has for two years or more been at intervals talking about canal scrip just as if any such thing existed. The canal scrip was all redeemed years ago. The canal stocks, for the payment of which the holdera agreed to look exclusively to the canal, are what the ring desires to saddle upon the State. But we must stop for the present, lest th# ''Sentinel" should attempt to extinguish us again by Galling us a "writer in the EXPRESS." Please don't. It is too horrible to contemplate.

CALIFORNIA'S climate having been found favorable to the growth of most of the products of the soil of all latitudes, is "'a\»out to be tested as a cotton-growing country. The experiment to raise the .-•• Southern staple on the Pacific slope is to be on an extensive scale, a company of

Californians and Englishmen having se« cured ten thousand acres of land in the Kern River Valley for the initial cotton crop. One thousand acre3 are to be planted in the spring, and the remainder of the land from time to time, as circum stances may determine. The proposed :. cotton tract embraces a large canal, by means of which it is proposed to irrigate 'the immense cotton field. This latter •-i feature is the novelty in cotton-culture in .i the United States, and adds additional in the great California experiment

WHILE Akerman was in power our neighbor was very obsequious in that di rection. Now that Akerman is out of place, the "Express" gives him a kick to aid his downward course!—Journal.

That is not true. When AKEDMAN was appointed Attorney General, the EXPRESS ''criticised the appointment. Repeatedly, during the time he was in office, the EXPRESS criticised hisshaljow fulminations and our parting "kick" was entirely cohjMstent with our previous conduct in the premises. Would it be possible for the "Journal" to approximate the trdth occasionally?

"THE GALAXY" starts out eplendidly

The Wife's Mistake.

There is explosive material in every husbands disposition, and the wife knows well where it lies, yet often persists in ..dropping a spark just in that very spot, and yet affirms that «lie is not to blame. That very ammunition might ha?ebe$ti a defence against foreign enemies, and the •safeguard of the home which it has destroyed, had it been wiselv guided. The wife who does not give lier husbaud a kindly home after his city toil does not deserve any of the blessings which that toil brings her. But they will say, "The children and the servants worry our lives out, and our husbands don't know anyJhing about what we have to go through. tTheir work is easy compared with that," etc. But stop, my aear friend—the troubles of household affairs are of a very temporary nature.

TEX YEARS WITH THE SAYAliES.

The Experience of Capt. Hobbs, the Famous Ranger—How He WPS Cap--tiircd and Nearly Scalped—His

Final Release and Return to this City.

F.-om the New York Times.] Capt. John Hobbs, a famous ranger and Indian fighter of Sonora and North Mexi co, is the guest of a well-known publish er in this city. He arrived in the met' ropolis a few days ago direct from Fort Sedgwick. He has probably buffered greater hardships from, and has gained a greater knowledge of the plain and frontier Indians than any white man living in this country. His thrilling adven tures and hand-to-hand oonflicts with the Apaches during the past quarter of a century and captivity of ten years among the Comanches, would afiord splendid material for a first-class romance. The exploits of this individual utterly overshadows the renowned Kit Carson, with whom he was intimately acquainted, and completely surpasses the doings of "Buffalo Bill" and "California Joe," whose names in connection wiih Indian fighting has been before the public in various periodicals during the past seven years.

Last evening a "Times" representative enjoyed an hour's conversation with the grim old veteran, and learned from his own lips some articulars of an eventful career.

1 It:1

The Captain was fo'und at the office of a stenographer who was busily employed in taking notes to be used in connection with a forthcoming history of his life. He invited the reporter to be sealed, and handed him a pipe of unique pattern, with a stem about four feet in length, which he first lighted and indulged in-a few whiffs as a starter. "That pi pe," said he, "I. captured from Algalaumme, a Montezuma Chief, thirteen years ago, and I would not part with it for a thousand dollars." While smoking, the reporter surveyed the borderman he is fully six feet in height, sparely built, is as straight as an arrow, has small black, piercing eyes, long and coarse hair, as black as a coal, a swarthy countenance covered with scars, and a complexion in general that has been so tanned by exposure to the sun and wind that it resembles strongly that of an Indian. :He wore a border suit of buckskin, fantastically arranged, but his person was devoid of jewelry, which such a characteristic weakness of frontier men. On a bureau at the right rested a huge white sombrero, while in one corner of the room, near the stenographer's desk, where scalps and tomahawks and other relics of the forest, and of sanguinary conflicts with the savages. As he had been a captive such :a great length of time among the Indians, it seemed a matter of surprise to the reporter that he could converse so fluently in his mother tongue. He explained this by stating that he had as a companion in captivity an American, and had frequent intercourse with trap pera and herdsman whom he assisted in capturing. By this, mode he had managed to retain his Engl igli perfectly. His knowledge of dates was also surprising when it is taken into consideration that he was carried off by the Comanches when but twenty years of age, and previous to that event had but little schooling.

He was born in a small frontier village on the Big Blue River, in the northern porLion of Jackson county, in the State of Missouri, in the year 1829, but does not remember the month. When but a mere lad he gained a reputation- among the hardy backwoodsmen and trappers of that section as a wonderful shot, as he had been known to bring down a deer at four hundred yards. At eighteen he was a successful trapper, and knew every elk path and otter pond.for miles through the wilderness. His shrewdness, attracted the attention of Bent, the great St. Louis fur trader, who secured his services when nineteen. It is to this incident that his subsequent misfortunes and ten years captivity and sufferings among the Co manches may be attributed. Shortly after entering the fur company, as the captain related, he and a companion, Jean Batties, a French Canadian, were sent to the Cimerone Springs, near the head waters of the Arkansas Biver. At that date the whole country was almost a howling wilderness, with but /etf settlers scattered here and here, and was swarming with hostile Apaches, Pawnees, and the scoufge of Northern Mexico, the blood-thirsty Comanches. On the 17th of September, 1S48, as their luck had been bad, Batties proposed to Hobbs to start further south, where game was supposed to be in abundance the latter acquiesced. During the evening of the first day's trip Hobbs trailed a Buflalo. His capture is given in his own vernacular:". "Putting spurs to my mare," said the Captain, "I soon overhauled the varmint, which proved to be a cow, which I killed. Batties soon joined me, and after we had cut off all the meat we wanted we built a fire and bunked in for the night. The following morning while preparing our grub, a war party of twenty Comanche braves, with eight or ten Pawnee scalps and a drove of stolen ponies, appeared on the scene. The leader of the band advanced toward me with outstretched hands, and growled out "How?" I answered him in a friendly way, still keeping an eye'on my shooting irons. All of a sudden one of the most demoniacal yells that ever greeted a mortal's ear was given, and before we could move the whole pack of hell-hounds were upon us two

poor devils. They killed

poor Batties before my eyes, scalped him, nflf Ilia mAAflttflino cnmiHnrl Ulr.

took off his moccasins, secured his rifle and ammunition, and then made for me. But the Chief somehow took a fancy to me and drawed off the pack after they had almost finished me, and had the knife to my scalp. "Look here," so saying the Captain parted the thick black hair on the side of his head and a long white the scar was revealed. "That's the commenein' place," he resumed, and in two minutes' time longer, I expect they would have raised my top knot, for certain. Do you see this?" Here he pointed to a deep scar just above his mustache, at the right of the nose. "That's another mark they gave me with a tomahawk on that occasion. Well, to make a long story Bliort, they carried me with them tip to the mountains. They danced around me, sung and played on the tomtoms nearly all night, and to wind up they cut off my hair and commenced to cut up my face, or what you might call it, to tattoo me. I object ed so strongly that they stopped it, but they managed to put a brass ring through my nose. .This I jrore durin& jny ten years captivity. I was made a warrior, and went out with them on their war and I A. S^IINABEL, marauding expeditions across the Mexi-1

can border, and several times came near losing my life while fighting the Apaches and Pawnees. All told, my body bears seventeen bullet and arrow wounds." Removing his boots, the Captain exhibited to the reporter five buck-shot "indentures" in his right leg, and three or four gun-shot and arrow wounds in his left limb. "I remained with them two years before I was made a warrior. About six months after this event while hunting alone in the mountains of Lower Sonora, I heard the breaking of a twig not for from where I was standing. I coocked my rifle, think* ing it might be a cinnamon bear. I did not hear tLe sound again, but instead saw the cause of it in the shape of a big Pawnee warrior who stood partly concealed

in a clump of chaparal about 200 yaads distant. We looked latj each other fully five minute^ without (drawing a bead suddenly liefraiaed his gun and fired at me Without taking aim. I jumped to the right BXKI escaped, still keeping an eye on the Pawnee .he dodged round, but I soon let him. have it square in the head and scalped himv When '-scaring the lodges 1 got two ash poles and stuck the ends of each into the ears of the scalp—it's the style of the Commanches to take ears and all—and marched into camp.

Five minutes later seven hundred wrr riors, headed by Old Wolf, whom, the^ United States soldiers and Mexican* welt known to their sorrow, surrounded me. and such' shaking of hands'atia Mgfff»f* I never experienced before. The chief the next morning gave me his third daughter as a bride. By our marriage I have seven children." \yhere are ilTcj now?" querried the reporter. "Ob, they're running wild on the plains," replied the Captain, laughing. He said..that in the fall of 1847, after ^numerous fights with United States soldiers, dui ingvhich time he tried to escape, (rather dubious,) the Comanches concluded to sell him and another white prisoner named Kirker Thus, after ten years, of captivity, he was taken to Fort Bent, and was sold to Col Sumner, of the Sixth Cavalry. TheCap tain was ransomed for six yards of red flannel, one pound of tobacco, and a string of bead*. Kirker was sold for eight yards of curtain calico, and a pound of common Missouri tobacco. Afieir being ran somed, the Captain sought the home of his youth but all. his relative^ had re. moved, and, heartbroken, he retraced his step?, and made hisu way into Mexico, where he joined Pracida .la Vega in his relentless war,against the Church Pajrty At the cooelusion^he-tuade his way ta Chihuahua, and .was employed by Gov' ernor Afigl&tres W fight the Apaches at the rate of $50 per scalp. With thirty Mexicans, during six. months, they raised ninety sealpi. Becoming disgii3tad with the Mexicans, he again cast his fortunes with Old Wolf and the Compnqhes. He continued fighting'with them two or three years against other tribes, and when the French invaded Mexico he repaired to Chihuahua and was made a lieutenant of artillery in the Liberal army of Benito Juarez, and participated in the battles of Los Membres, Mazatalan, Zapick, Santia go, Esquantito, Siera Aleger, and various others, down to Queretaro, when Maximilian surrendered. At the clone of the war he again visited his Indian home, and, growing tired of that species of existence, determined to-live in the future among civilized people. His faith,.how ever, in humanity has been terribly shaken since he has been :in Gotham, as he lost $150 in greenbacks at a place of public amusement a few evenings since, and he has changed his mind considerably. He speaks fluently the dialects of seven different.tribes—TCastilliap and half Montezuma, the language of Northern and New Mexico and Sonora. He is propably the only white man that can aid the historian a a in

THE MLACIERS OF AMERICA-

Interesting Speculations Regarding Thdr Origin. "'J .tvmotvK •••sio.l

Prof. Janies D. Dana, the distinguished geologist of Yale, has .just published, in the

Amerieari Journal of Science,

an inter

esting and valuable paper "on the position and height of the elevated plateau which the glacier of New England, in the glacial era, had its origin." The Profess* or introduces his research, with the .remark that "the existence of a region of high elevation in Northern America a* the source of a continued glacier in the glacial era has often been assumed, but rather because the glacial theory was lame without it than as a result of special research with respect to the extent and lo* cation of such a region." Prof.' Dana then concisely gives' the direction of the glacial furrows or scrathes crossing the Green and White Mountains, arid shows that they could not have been made with the land of North America at its present, level, and that these Scratches on the rocky summit of New England point toward some great region of elevated land, on the slopes of which the stupendous glacier began its southerly motion. He gives it as his opinon that the icy plateau whence the great glacier took its departure must have existed somewhere on the western border of Hudson's Bay, and that the glacier moved southeastwardly down the valley, of the Ottawa and on the slopes to the east of it, having to this distant day the track of its,course engraved deeply in the Rocky Mountain flanks. With. from 6,Q00 to S,000 feet thickness of ice,, the glacier kepi on its course, guided,only ly the general sfbpe of the land, but at the same time moulded itself into the larger valleys and into many even of the local slopes. The intense cold that is known to have.existed in the Arueri* can glacial era is also naturally accounted for if the land of Northern Canada was a great platenu, being an elevation higher than the summit of Mount.Washington.

The upward movement of the glacial era, which carried the north at least 5 000 feet above its present level, was fol lowed by the slow subsidence of the "Champlain period," when the same lands sunk to a greater extent than they had previously been raised, letting down the Valleys of the St. Lawrence about Montreal,500 feet below its present level and probably 1,000 feet below its glacial era level. With this sinking of the land began the melting of the glacier. Owing to the sinkiug of the surface in the north northern and southern rivers had their slope greatly lessened, and in some cases made quite level for Jong distances, and by vast deposits of drift the Hiaagra and other rivers had their channels so ob structed that they were forced to cut new passages, while other water oourses of the glacial era were wholly cut off, as that from theChamplain Lake down the Hud' son Valley. Then came the "terrace era," during which the land reached its present level, while the river channels were deepened, and the lake and river terraces which now cover the continent were formed..
