(Jens. Thomas and Ordin the Department of California, call'lor additional legelation by Congress for the benefit of the Indians. They say that, at present, if a white man kills an Indian, he rarely suffers punishment, while the whites take vengeance on a whole tribe if one of their own number is murdered. These Generals recommend that the military have powr to arrest the murderers on either side, without waiting for the tardy hand of the civil authorities; and also that Indians may appear as witness in caes affecting themselves. The Secretary f War and Gen. Sherman concur in tUe buugestious. . The California Earthquakes. The earthquakes of the Pacific Coast seem to have .produced some curious changes in the lakes of that section of the country. At a la!c seienti&c meeting held in San Franeisco, Professor Bolander called attention to the fact of a marked rise in the water of Lake Mono sine the earthquake period of 1S68, and added that the ri&o had bten followed by a freshening of the water, and the total disappearance of the dense clouds of flies which ! fnrmprlc 1 waited their Iarvm on the - ------ j i shores of the lake. Professor Whitney stated that there is evidence that Lake Mono was ooce GOO feet higher than now. He added that Great Sail Lake and PyraLake have also risen considerably within & year or two.

This added to the fact that the President has promised an important foreign appointment to Lieutenant Governor Cumback, will put an end to all dissensions in the ranks of the Republican party. A private dispatch received in Washington says Davis (Radical) has been elected Governor of Texas by a majority of 775, and that both branches of the Legislature are Republican. New Year's Day was more generally observed throughout the country, this year, than has been the case for a long time. In the Southern States the colored people very generally celebrated it as emancipation day. Ti e German Democrats of the Tenth and Seventeenth Wards of New York arc making war upon the Tammany wing of the party. They call upon Congress for the aid of a stringent election law under the Fifteenth Amendment. The report of the Department of Agri culture shows the cotton crop to be about ten per cent, in excess of the amount pro duced in 18G8. The crop will reach 2,700,000 commercial bales, or over o,000.. 000 bales of 400 pounds each. The order appointing General Terry to the command of the District of Georgia, remands that State to the condition it oc cupied under the first reconstruction acts, and ignores all subsequent legislation up to the recent act of Congress to promote the reconstruction of the State. Orders are about to be given which will send officers of the army who have been cn duty for three consecutive - years or more, in cities, to the frontier, while their places will be supplied by deserving officers from the front, thus equalizing the duties and hardships of the service. There was a narrow escape from a repetition of the Avondale mine disaster, at Plymouth, Pennsylvania, on Friday; the breaker over the shaft having taken fire from gross carelessness, in extending a stovepipe through the wood-work without any protection. ll I M The Mississippi Legislature will be called together next Tuesday, January 11. All the members will be required to take the oSth in the 3d section of the 14th Amendment. They will then ratify the 15th Amendment and elect a United States Senator. Many members of Congress are preparing to speak on the question of the apportionment of representation under the new Census bill. Western members geuj "ally complain that the representation of thvt part of the country is uot proportion ate to the population.

1389-1870. The year closes (says tho Commercial)

with much accomplished in the progress of the race toward a higher civilization. It has not been, as was anticipated it would be, a year of great wars. The peace of the nations has not been greatly disturbed. With the exception of the re bellion in Cuba, the continuation of the war in Paraguay, and the suppression of the revolts in Spain and Mexico, nothing has occurred to affect the general tran quility. It has been a year or victories more renowned than war the triumphs of peace. The two great events in their bearings upon commerce the handmaid of civilization have been the completion and successful operation of the Pacific Railway and the Suez Canal. The addi tion of another cable to the links that units the continents of the Oid and New World will not greatly affect, though it increases the facilities for the speedy com munication of intelligence, is the precur sor of other achievements of equal mag nitude. At the rate we are progressing iu this respect, it will not be long before the ends of the earth will be united, and the news of the day be gathered from the four quarters of the globe and spread before the readers of the weekly newspapers for their enjoyment over the matutinal meal. There has been both in Europe and in this country a vast txtension of railway systems. Not less than sixty thousand miles of additional road have been made. Great enterprises have been mapped out, and capital stands ready to invest in their resources of ultimate profit. With our own people it has been a year of general prosperity. Individual inttr ests suffered, owiug to what is called scarcity of money, stagnation in business, tnd a depression in values, but as a people we have prospered. The South has had large return for its'labor. The value of the cotton crop of I860 alone is estimated to exceed that of any year before the war. Nor has the North to complain. The aggregate result of her industries, put in dollars and cents, will exceed by a hun dred and fifty millious that of any previ-; ous year. A great and unceasing increase of immigration has added to the wealth and population of the country, and its effect has been to send the van of civilization far toward the slope of the Rocky Mountains. In the vast valley of the Mississippi there will soon be no acre of arable land not taken up by settler or held in the interests of public enterprises. Politically, the coudition of the country has improved. Virginia has virtually taken her place in the Federal system. Mississippi will soon join her, and Texas will not long remain behind. The question of recotistruetiou has found its solution. Opposition to the policy finally determined upon is no longer formidable. A general amnesty for political offenses will undoubtedly follow the fulfillment of i the conditions V' that policy. The negro ' will disappear from politics as an element of strife, when the Fifteenth Amendment shall have been duly ratified; and so, with equality of rights guaranteed to all classes of citizens, we shall turn our attention to the discussion of questions that effect what may be called our secondary or material interests as a people, and arc less dangerous themes for debate than primary I rights. During the year just opening we hope to see the efforts of the Government directed to the revival of Anieiicau commerce and industries by the removal of oppressive burdens, the establishment of a stable financial policy, o further reduction of expenses, anu a decided dimunition of t lie national debt. The people will do thair part, cheerfully. All the. ask is opportunities. The will, the ineli uatien, and tho ambition is thotrs. If'i thy increase production and amass wealth, it will be to use it in larger enterprises and the spread of the liberal ideas in politics, religion aud education, which have been the mainsprings of their own activity and advancement in all things that concern their temporal aud spiritual proaj perity. A Candidate for Congress. Elsewhere we publish extracts from some of the papers of this District upon this question, which is agitating their minds at present, more thau any other. i J udge J. M. Wilson of this place is the favorite. In fact no one else is seriously spoken o!. kven the licliinond liadical ! hss not vet announced that the Hon.G. W. Julian will unconditiouall y be a candidate. Almost every day we hear the question, will Mr. Julians health be; suthcicut to permit him to oe a candidate? We do not knoto, but we jm-aum it will. 1' alette county has two meu, either ol i.- ... . whom would represent this District in Congress, with honor to himself aud credit to his constituents. We refer to Judge J. M. Wilsou and Hon. 15. F. CiaM.ool. They will perhaps both be ca u u i a dies. o no e i s v 1 1 iu Stanton Died Poor. These words coutain the great roan's best eulogy.

Written for the American. Eating Rhubarb Pie. BY W. W. MAGUIHE. Many a hearty laugh have I bad all to myself, when 1 happened to think of the ludicrous, mirth-provoking scene in which I was one of the principal actors, and ighich occurred at a certain farmer's house, some jears ago. Among the many other good things which crowned and crowded the capacious dinner table, a huge rhaharb pie occupied a very conspicuous r - , - -...vfsnoWj to play a very conspicuous part, I chanced to be passing just at the din ner hour, and being kindly invited to stop and partake, I readily consented, being well satisfied, by former experience, that a wealthy farmer's dinner table is, as a general thing, about the best place one can find to appease the clamorous importunities of an empty stomach. I was not the only visitor present on that occasion. Seated directly opposite at the dinner table, and facing me, was a prim, -precise, particular, sharp-eyed, sharp-nosed, thin lipped old maid, who sat bolt upright a stilf-starched pattern of prudence and propriety, who would not, I suppose, Bave deviated a hair's breadth from the strictest and straitest rule of maidenly modesty and becoming decorum for anything in the world, or out of it either, for that mat ter. Towards the close of the meal, the above-mentioned pie was cut into huge triangular pieces or wedges, an handed round by way of dessert, and while I was making the most praiseworthy efforts to dispose of one of these triangles, an oblong piece of the hard rind, or cortical part of the plant, suddenly shot out end foremost from between my lips arid went sky-larking nearly half way across the table, and finally landed in the neighborhood of the butter-plate! Reader, do you thiuk you can form anything like a just or proper conception of what my feelings were at that particular moment? In order to do so, you must imagine yourself in my plae?at that time, and then call to mind the fact that I am a very modest man and very bashful in the company of ladies very. I felt the hot blood rise to my neck, my cheeks, my temples, my forehead, and, for a time, I thought it would r?e a welcome refuge if I could hide behind the table or even under it. This feeling did not last long, however. It soon passed away, and gave place to an uncontrollable desire to burst into a laugh not such a laugh as we are accustomed to hear, but a roar 'that would make the hills and hollows around ring with the notes of boisterous mirth. Of course I did not know positively that any of the company had witnessed my astonishing practice with this new and wonderful kind of projectile; but it seemed reaasurable to suppose that some, at least, if not all preseut, had witnessed it with unbounded admiration; and while I was struggling to choke down and keep back the laugh that would continually come up and clamor for freedom, I chanced to glance across the table at my spinster friend on the opposite side, and, O, minibile dictu! at that very instant a piece of the same material, and about the size of the one that had escaped from me, skooted out, quick as lightning, from between her lips, aud struck out on a direct line with the cod of my nose! Fortunately, however, the momentum given it at the start s-as not sutacieot to carry it, "on a dead level," to the target at which it seemed to have been aimed, and it went shuiiig off in another direction. One more glance, at my partner in distress. She sat still, stiff, aud straight as a statue; her fork in one hand, with a delicate morsel ou it, stopped half-way on its j'luruey to the mouth; her thin lips tightly compressed, and her eyes intently faxed on the slippery truant. That was enough, and too much. Human nature mine, at least could bear no mere. I felt that laugh I mint or bust, aud what the consequence would have been I know not; but, thanks to the fates that rule over the destinies of men, at that critical mo- ' "lent u uuv rusneu up to me uoor anu i , , , . . . , , ba led out, "Hoc , your horse has broke ment a boy rushed up to the door and loose!'' Inwaidlv but most heartily ejac ulating "God bless the horse and lhat boy, too," I rushed Irom the house, and was pleased to see that the horse had got a considerable distanca away, and teas going on. 1 '"hastened slowly" to overtake him, while I gave freedom to the laughter that would not be confined any longer. Years have elapsed since then, but even now I cannot repress a smile when I think of that particular part of my experience in the business of Eiting Rhubarb Vie. Aletauiora,Ind., Dec, 1869.

What mockery for present day democracy to as j semble on the anniversary of that great ! uan uPon w.hol8e. P"cples they have for years turned their backs and utterly disregarded.

Preliminary Meeting at Eaton. At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Louisville and Sandusky Railroad Company, at Eaton, Ohio, on the 24th day of December, A. D. 1S69, sundry stockholders being also present and participating in the proceedings of said meeting, After an interchange of opinion respecting the construction of said Road, it was resolved that a committee of nine be appointed to confer with the cities of Louisville, New Albany, the President and Di- i rectors of the Louisville & Nashville, and the President and Directors of tha Pennsylvania Central Railroad Companies, and such other corporations and capitalists, as in their opinion the interest of said enterprise may seem to require, respecting the cons!rutijn of the said Louisville & Sandusky Railroad, with full power to explain all matters connected with the construction of said Road and to enter into such arrangements as, in their opinion, may facilitate and accomplish that end, and make reprrt of the proceedings to the Board of Directors at the city of Piqua on tie 2d Tuesday in February next. It was further resolved that said Committee request the citizens of Brookvilie and North Yernon and those along the line of said Road to co-opertte in said proceedings.

Haines, Sec'y. J. F. McKinkey, Piest. From the KicHtn-ini Telegram. The Coming Campaign. As usual, in this district, the interest of the campaign, seems likely to centre on the nomination for Congress. Thus far rival candidates have made haste slowly, Ju'iaa maintaining a masterly inactivity, tnd waiting for the developments of the strength and a hint ot the- tactics of the opposition. This has revealed itself in judicious artteies in nearly all the Republican papers in the district, led off, we believe, by the G reensburg Standard, suggesting J udge J. M. Wilson, of Conner. ville, a iaan of eminent ability, pure and upright lfe, and in every respect an acceptable ad available candidate, as the successor of Mr. Julian. With the exception of a few shots exchanged by the home organs of the long horn and the short horn cliques, there has been a disposition to let by gones be by-gones, to bury the hatchet of old quarrels, and unite the party on a man who Can command its full strength at the polls. Besides it has been well understood that Mr. Julian's most trusted friends have persistently advised him to retire, under cover of his failing health, and so save himself the pain of defeat and the party the ignominy of a renewal cf old and bitter feuds. This advice Mr. Julian has set as-ide if we may credit the Radical and asks the party to peril its success at next fall's election, by the nomination of a mai who lias made himself so odious to a large and respectable number of Republican voters, that he has tiuiformlv fal en be hind his ticket by hundreds of votes, with the pressure of exciiing and important campaigns in his favor. The prevailing conviction among the Kcpubiieans of the j district is, that considerations for the in. teicsts of the psrty ought to prevent him from being a candidate, and this feeling is shared by Republicans outside, who are not anxious to see the farce of the Ashley (tenthUhio distiict) repeated here. This is true, not only of the conservative wing, but of the radicals us well, represented hy such papers as the Chicago Tribune and Cincinnati Gazette, until now favorable to .J uliau's interests. The Republican party owes Mr. Jalian nothing. His services in Congress have been amply repaid, lie has been a. consistent voter, aud a representative of average, not eminent ability. Although he has been a member of the House for many years, he occupies the unimportant position of chairman of the Committee on Public Linds, and during his long political career he has never been seriously mentioned for promotion to the Senate. He has never made any sacriGees, personal or pecuniary, in the defense of his principles, and be can poiut to no important measures or reforms that the nation owes to his ability or industry. Aside Tron dealing out its patronage, he has ignored the interests of his district, aud even his private fortune, which he owes to the inj dulgence of his constituents, he has invested in a distant otate. iut the most serious onjecnons to .air. Julian do not lie in Lis course in Congress. The people of a district who entrust a man with the highest office in their gift, have a right to ask from him some consideration for the interests of the party. This Mr. Julian has never had. lie has fastened himself like a barnacle to office. He has known no parties except Julian and anti Julian, and has done his best to drive his opponents into the ranks of the Democracy. He has embroiled his party in his own petty, personal quarrels, and entailed upon it bitter feuds that will only die out with the generation. His choicest epithets have beeu launched at men of his own party, who dared to question his title to a political dictatorship. Ambitious men who aspired to the honorable office of Representative, were denounced as "Cbristless whelps," and "Thugs and assassins of society, who have cheated public justice of her dues." Without those qualities that make warm personal friends, he has been a good hater, and every new campaign has multiplied his enemies. With opportunities to become the most popular man in his district, he fell behind his ticket 243 votes in his own county, not counting the rejected South Poll, with all the pressure of the last Presidential campaigu in his favor. That these things are so, is the legitimate result of Mr. Julian's course at

home, and the blame lies at his own door. He inaugurated the policy of making the fight on personal, not political issues, and he cannot complain if the party does not stop to question whether the Republicans who refuse to vote for him are or are not right, bnt simply accept the facta as they are. That the nomination of Mr. Julian would place the ticket in imminent peril of defeat, cannot be denied, aud it ou"ht to be an easy matter to nominate so acceptable a man as Judge Wilson, by an overwhelming majority. The contest needs only to be fair and manly, such as will commend itself to the larger number of Republicans who have given Mr. Ju. lian a lukewarm support, without bein in close sympathy with either the Julian or anti Julian factions.

In its editorial Department the Gazette has all the excellence that a variety of first class talent can impart to it. In priuciple wo need hardly sajr that it is Republican.
