The Senate ratified, a short time before its ad Jonrnment, a number of new treaties with the Indians of the Far West, and there ia at pre sent comparatively little danger of a general Outbreak of any of the dangerous tribes. There are, however, occasional reports of massacres of white men who expose them selves too freely to the tender mercies of "the gentle savages" on the one hand, and of the meroileBB slaughter of roving bands of Indians who happen to be in the vicinity of American camps or settlements when white men are seeking revenge for a recent Indian outrage. There is as irrepressible a confiiot between civilization and barbarism as between freedom and slavery, and In spite of all the treaties that are framed, this hostile feeling is con stantly displayed in forms more or leBS dan gerous and destructive. With all the cor ruption and faithlessness which characterize many of the treaties with the Indians, they frequently serve at least one useful purpose they pacify a portion of the tribes with whom they are formed, and holding in check the main body of their warriors, pre vent the wholesale destruction of the lives and property of white settlers, which result from the fixed determination of a tribe of any con siderable importance to make war after the most approved and merciless Indian fashion. Terrible illustrations of the extent of such depredations are given in the Minnesota massacre of 18G3, by the Fioux, and In the Slaughter of the settlers along the Platte route in 1864, by the confederated Cheyennes, Ara pahoes, and Sioux. The best, and, perhaps, the only defense of the existing temporizing Indian policy is, when proper efforts are made to enforce it, it generally affords a sufficient degree of proteotion against such unrelenting raids as we have referred to, to stimulate and Strengthen settlements, and thus to gain time, which proves more fatal to the aborigines after they are brought into contaot with the vices of civilization than the most formi dable military expeditions organized to attack them. Meanwhile, however, no treaty can change the natural instincts ef the Indian nor prevent the murders which are constantly reported. The young warrior is trained from his infancy to regard scalps as the most valua ble of earthly possessions, and the ability to Slay any member of the human family who does not enjoy the high honor of belonging to his particular tribe, as the greatest of earthly accomplishments. The Thugs of India do not strive more earnestly to elevate murder to the dignity of one of the fine arts than many of the American aborigines. When they go forth upon the war-path in their un ceasing conflicts with each other, a failure to accomplish the particular object of their expe. dition is an amply sufficient reason, in their judgment, for killing any straggling white man whom they may happen to enooanter. Scalps being the objeots aimed at, it mat ters comparatively little, aooording to Indian logio, from whose heads these desirable trophies are obtained. Adven turous pioneers having often suffered the loss of friends or companions by Indian barbarity, heoome in tarn scarcely less sorupulous than the red men, and when opportunity offers they do not hesitate to wreak terrible revenge upon a hated race; sometimes committing outrages as merciless and unjustifiable as those which disgrace the annals of the abori gines. These outrages provoke in turn re taliation, and there can be, at best, under the present system, only a series of temporary truces while Indians, who live near white Settlements or lines of travel, are numerous and vigorous enough to become formidable enemies. As it is utterly impossible that civilization shall succumb to barbarism, the conflict, which, in some form, is constantly continued, inevitably results in the rapid destruction of the Indians. They gain a tem porary respite, occasionally, by being removed to a distant reservation, but as it, in turn, is Speedily approached by the advancing tide of civilization, old difficulties are renewed, and it becomes more and more apparent that the Indian must either adopt the habits of the white race and gain increased power to resist the blandishments of vice, or speedily become extinct. Efforts to elevate and enlighten them have sot been wanting, nor have they ben entirely fruitless; but one of the greatest ob Btaoles whioh zealous missionaries have had to noounter is their fatal fondness for ardent Spirits, and their innate proclivity to imitate the vices of the worst white men with whom they are brought into oontact. Comsbbvativi men of all parties will re member that the Democratio candidate for the Presidency, Horatio Seymour, ia a partisan in the strictest sense of the word, and of the most ultra type. lie is not only a favorite Demooratio campaign orator, bat he was the President of their last two National Conven. tions, and chosen to aot as suoh on account of his thorough knowledge of, and complete identification with, the men who composed these partisan assemblages. If by any pol bllity he should be elected President, he would naturally administer the highest office In the world in the immediate interest of the organ! zation to which he is devotedly attaohed, for he is one of the last men in the United States who would falter ia hU partisan fidelity. He would infinitely prefer surrendering "to party what was meant for mankind," to advancing the interests of the nation by supporting a measure that was not approved by the Dem ocratio politicians. The True Motives of the Democracy. Manx people, and among them must be reck oned the members of the New York Conven tion, have been agitating a question whioh all thinking men mast deem to be prejudicial to the pnblio oredit. We refer to the ultimate payment of the pablio debt. This disoasslon might have been tolerated on the grounds of necessity if any such necessity existed whioh would call for its settlement at the present time. But when it is seen that as well as being injurious, it is also perfectly unnecessary to have a word said on it, the anpatriotio con duct of the Pemooracy appears in full colors. It required not only a heedless but also a vicious man to provoke any such agitation as that which now depresses our oountry. The issue whioh has been foroed on the nation by the semi-Rebel and wholly repudiating De mocracy is whether or not the Five-twenty bonds issued by the United States shall be paid in greenbacks or In gold ? We have said that the discussion is unnecessary. These bonds do not fall due for twenty years if the Government sees fit to let them stand. In all human probability such will be its course. There is reason, and good reason to believe that not only will the debt be not paid off be. fore maturity, but that at the time when it is due it will be taken up by a new loan. There is no need for its payment until an indefinite time has elapsed, and then only to have it satisfied by such gradual installments as will not cripple or in fact injure the national re sources. It being, then, probable that 18S3 will be here before the practioal settlement of the gold or greenback issue is to be expeoted, why then agitate it now? We cannot tell what a day will bring forth, mnch less what a quarter of a century. But it requires no pro phetio vision to foresee that before that day comes a return to specie payment will have been secured. The natural tendency of trade is towards a gold basis. Before that time the equilibrium will have been restored ; the balance will have adjusted itself. What, then, does it matter whether the debt be paid in gold or greenbacks ? They will be one and the same thing. They will be equal in every particular the one interchangeable into the other and receivable at par. Why then injure the national credit by any such discus sion as that which is now being foroed on the nation by the Democracy ? The answer is, we regret to say, too plain. The leaders of the Demooratio party are demogognes of the worst order. They care nothing for the national good. They seek but for place and power. TUvj flud foution tu of the land grumbling over the possession o wealth by others more fortunate than them selves. They concur in sentiment in favor of semi-repudiation solely to catch the popu lar tide of discontent. They sacrifice the nation without a moment's hesitation, to gain a few votes. In this they are at least consis tent. Throughout the whole war such has been their coarse. They have been ever wil ling to lay all claims of country at the feet of party. They did so in the darkest days of the war. They do so now, when we are recover ing from tho effeots of a Demooratio Rebellion. It is but another of the treasonable steps which they have been pursuing, and the peo ple who have watched them with loyalty in the past, and who view them with suspioion still, will teaoh them the truth of the motto, "Whoever sacrifices principles to policy, de serves to fail in both policy and principle. Tub impobtakcb of life insuranoe has in creased so rapidly that recently a prominent pnblio speaker, in discussing financial ques tions, Baid that, while as a rule the citizens of the western States invested their surplus earn ings in land, the practice was beooming very general among citizens of the Atlantic States to invest their surplus earnings in life insur ance policies. A new impetus will be given to this favorite form of investment by the Na tional Life Insurance Company, for it is evi dently destined to inspire great confidence not only by the fact that it is a national institution, chartered by Congress, and by the attractive new features it presents in its inoome-produo- ing and return-premium policies, but by the large amount of its oash capital, and the high character of the men entrusted with its man agement. Their known integrity and exten sive financial experience afford a sure guarantee not only of the safety of the funds entrusted to their care, bat of the prosperity of the oom pany and the faithful redemption of every promise it makes to the public Febnando Wood withdraws frxra Mozart Hall. Bappy Mozart I In bis letter of with' drawal Fernando says: "I hereby resign my position as a member of the Mozart Hall Gene ral Committee. I have for some time oonteni' plated tbls withdrawal, feeling that personal as well as publlo considerations rendered It neces sary. If I continued a member of the organise tlon, circumstances would oompel me te lake an tetlve part In its proceedings, and this would Impose upon me duties and responsibilities which I am no longer willing to assume. After a protracted and exoltlng political career, I do sire retirement. I am content with the past, and with my publie record, and am now quite willing to leave to others whatever of honor there may be in official station." But Fernando is not one of the disaffected. Ue says further: "In taking this course, do not rulsuu derstand me. I do not withdraw from support of the Democratio party and Us candidates. Horatio Seymour is one of the foremost minds of the nation, and a man who at no time has faltered in a bold and constant support of the doctrines of the party as prao tlcedby Jefferson and Jackson. Well may ll be Skid of him, as among the statesmen of tb land. 'He Is the noblest Roman of them all, whose esoutcheon is not darkened by the least deviation from correct principles, even when our party's prospects were darkest, and the premium for desertion from Its ranks was high est. Ue has always upheld the flag and been foremost in the fight." Equally strong and an. em ted Is his admiration for the tall end of the ticket: "As to General Blair, be Is equally a men of true Democratic heart whose princi ples are convlotlons whose patriotism Is be yond assault, and whose bold enunolatlon has tte ring of the genuine metal. With two such leaders as Seymour and Blair there ran be no suoh word as fall." In short, Fernando is over oonfldent of success, Ue says : "They (the candidates) are worthy of the cause and the oause Is worthy of them. Both will trlirapu in November, and tte country onoe again be freed from the rule of an Infamous Congress and Its revolutionary di signs." With suoh a prospect before the Dtmooracy, Fernando Is willing to slot out of eight, for the sake of harmony, In concluding his epistle he says: "Being deeply Imbued with the eonvtotlon that ujon the success of the Ptesldentlrl election tbls fall depends lue con tit nance of the Union and the future existence or a republican form or government on this continent, I cannot permit my name, however humble, to be made the means of sowing dis sension or marring the solidity of our action in the great battle to come iff, by which we hope to save the life of the nation." Russian Finances From St. Petersburg we learn that all the Husiian journals have ben occupied for some time with tne budget for 1808, which bad been published. We extract some figures from the exhibit: The expendi ture Is augmented this year by 40,000,000 rubles (seventy-five cents each). Tbe progres sion has been constant sluoe 1801. At that date the total of the expenses was a 18 000 000 of rubles, for 1861,400,000 000; for 1805.380,000.001); for 188u', 401 000.000; lor 1807,110.000,000; and now 480,000,000. The Minister of Fluunce ol tits out that there will be tbls J ear, according to his estimate, an increase in tbe revenue of 2.1.500,000 rubles over last year. This, however, Is only a hope; besides the fact mast be stated that the rise Is princi pally furnished by the budget for the kingdom of Poland, which Is for the first time merged into that of the empire. The rest Is expected from tbe progress so often deplored by the Russian Journals In the consumption of brandy. The cost of collection amouuts to lo4 per cent, on the oidluary income. The aug mentation applies to nil the ministries except that of Publlo Instruction, which even under goes a slight dlmluutlon. The largest lnorease Is in the War Department, which, from 120,000, 000 of rubles last year, has risen to U 1,000,000. The publlo debt has for some yeais been aicend ing In the same way. Iu 1803 Its service required 67,500,000; this year It is 76,500,000. Together, the war, the navy, and the debt absorb more than 65 per cent of the whole budget. The dtnolt on the ordinary expenditure alone is calculated for tbls year at ja.50u,0iM), which will ue covered ny tue oaiance oi tne Anglo Dutoh loan of 1860. OB ITU AM Y. Charles Buck waiter. Charles Buck waller, K?q., died at 7 o'clock tbls morning, nt the residence of his father, No. 6S4 North Seventh street, of typhoid fever, pre ceded ty serious rheumatic symptoms, Mr- Bui k waiter was a native of Philadelphia, and was about twenty-nine yeats of age at the time of his death. For a thorough education he was mainly indebted to the Cen tral High School, which Institution he entered about the year 1852, and while there .i.a-.t nmmandd a prominent position being early noted for his excellence or ueuvery and readiness of speech In debate. For tbe past two or three years be has been the Presi dent of tbe Alumni Association of tbe institu tion. Boon after graduating, Mr. Buckwalter entered the office of George W. Blddle, Esq., as a Btndent at law, at the same time beooming an attendant upon the courses of law leotures In the University of Pennsylvania. Oa being ad mitted to the bar, tbe deceased at once made his way into a good practice, and gave promise of becoming one of tbe brightest ornaments of the profession in this city. Mr. Buckwalter early entered into political life, and soon attained a seoure position as a leader of the Demooratio party In the Third Congressional District of this State. In 1861 and again In 18G0, he received the Democratio nomination for Congress, being defeated on both occasions by Hon. Leonard Myers. At the last nominating Convention of his party, Mr. Buckwalter did not aspire to a repetition of these fruitless honors. He was an earnest and faithful servant of the party of his choice, a genial and kind-hearted gentleman, and a young man whose future was one of great promise. He was unmarried, but tbe large circle of personal friends, as well as those who knew nlm only as a man of public prominence, will feel his loss with keenness. AM USEMEflT NVTES.

Tbe following editorial article appears In the Charleston Meroury of a recent date: "UABM PONS. 'Private advices from our most strenuous friends at the Nortb, request that we should Erotest against tbe imprudent expressions that ave escaped tome Southern speakers, since the adjournment of tbe National Democratic Con vention. It is represented to us that great injury is accruing to tbe cause from such im prudence. We thtreioro shall mako no apolo gies lor asking the attention of our public speakers to the fact. We are all desirous of pushing on tbe good work ot succets, and no one would voluntarily impede Its course who was aware of the lact. Whilst no man In the South should be, and no true man is, ashamed of our great lost caue; and whilst when we speak ot the past, we should speak like true men, it is questionable whether, at this time, anything Is to be gained by too much reference to things that jar on people' neives. What we want fust now is to win. Let us keep our powder for that purpose. Too much is at stake to waste it now in feux de joie. Let us have our pyrotechnics next March. In the meantime, frienrs, let us, without abating one seutlmeut that is true, be cool and steady. and give the enemy no advantage. We have a strong foe to encounter.

Tbe police ware going to grab him by the oo lar, and make him "move on," but, having no oollar an, they failed to collar blm. At the latest accounts the mau had "moved on." He isn't there any more. We are doing our beat to keep people nicely clothed. Our prices are so low that there la no reason why ai ybody should, aa a general thing, go without having at least something on bis back, Come and see how cheap onr splendid Olothes are' ROCKHILL A WILSON, BBOWN BTONK CLOTHING HALL, Nos.
