T HE INDIAN WAR. GJENERAL lIIESIDAN seems to have finishettp*the Indian business speedily" and. effectively. His own return from the tii3ld is hourlyr,t'xPeeted at St. Louis, his troops being also• withdrawn from ; the plaitii; and disiributeti for the ordinary service of the government, at various points. These facts warrant us in believ ing that the chastisement of the savages has bein ample to secure protection for. the frontiers, and to enforce the peaceful submission of all the hostile tribes. SHER IDAN'S b 10713 have accomplished a result which Indian Commissioners and Bu reaux could never have attained. It is understood that. he is soon to re•coter upon his former command in the South. west, where, under the administration of Ptesident GRANT, the country will soon be indebted to PHIL. SIIERIDAN for vic tories less expensive but yet more accept able. His success Is equal in dealing with savages, white or black. OUR FOREIGN POLICY. The problem of the Amezik.an Suture is a leading subject of study *a the enlight ened minds of all civilized 'peoples. The philanthrophist hopes, the philosopher speculates and the statonnan approaches its consideration with rtzkagled feelings of , airehension and pr'itis. All of these agree in the recognition of the reptibli can idea—the absolute , oridequal freedom of all the human race, subject only to the divinely-ordered coiditions which are presitribed Tor the government of all His ,htnatm 'creatures , alike;—all of them ~acc ept the application of this idea in the 'theory of the great American Republie, and ail admire themighty progress which, sometimes briefly checked, at other times impetuously accelerated, still, in the grent•march Of events, illustrates the -Steadily 'increasing approximation of our enationallife to the loftiest standards ever 'upheld 'to the loyal devotion of man. 'Our mistakes are not seldom; our perils are frequentlysuch as seem to menace a -speedy , and .unhappy end to our partici pation. in T the national • rivalships which divide the ‘peoples of the earth,—a die aitrons catastrophe for the highest hopes of Christendom. As in the experience of individuale, so the annals of this nation prove that the only dangers which are .fonnidable, to the one or to the other, are self.sriginated, and domestic, attributable to no causes outside of an internal re sponsibilitiy. The weaknesses of per sonal or national constitution, the vicious, enervating, demoralizing after-growths which are the sure consequences of any successful temptation to disregard the warnings of the national or individual conscience—it is here that the historian andthe moralist unerringly discover the fatal causes upon which the brightest premises, the most glowing hopes, the noisiest aspirations and the most spl.endid careers of achievement have been ulti mately wrecked. But the Great Republic—let us be justly happy in the thought—presents' the cam pletest illustration of its greatness before the world, in this that, more than any na tion in all the records of time, it has been conspicuously blessed in a Divine protec tion from all perils, fatal mischiefs, whether from within or without; that as the problem of Man's Destiny grows upon - us it finds us stronger to endure, to avert aid in due course to conquer, not only our dangera or our misfortunes, but, most of-all, ourselves; that the Republic, fast 4i:whored to the everlasting and immuta ble moorings of a divinely orde'red prin ciple, rides out every gals and evermore proudly floats its flag of mastery, while the great sea of life is everywhere else dotted with hopeless and indistinguisha ble wrecks. lard has saved us? Why is it that this nation alone, upon this continent and in .this era of the world, may gratefully confess that matchless fortune which thus presents her career as splendidly the ex ception to all recorded experience, as the constitutional order, the principles upon Which the theory of her government is bailed up; are of novel aspplication in the regulation of human society ? flow much of this triumphant fortune do we owe to our peculiar principles alone, or how muck of it to our large, share in the Poe -session of a power of brute force common to the race ? Is the Republic to-day so magniEcent an example of national prom ise, before all the nations of Christendom, merely because it has armies, navies and wealtkoto cope with any people °lithe globe, in the ultimate resort of war, or Is It rather because the moral force of the repub lican idea, illustrated, before every eye on earth,bynhe internal blessings of every ma terialnature which attend our faithtal obe dience toet , commands,all overthe world, the homage of the human mind and en forces respect from other nations of Chris . tendorn? The Great Republic is strong, because it is republican, in ,fact; it is feare - d becsesse, alone among Christian • peoples; the forty millions of its citizens, behind none in science, in art, in the most /skillful exemplifications in every depart =eat se practteal knowledge, are, more depart t, se), homogeneous, sh„ating, united' as one man, ha all personal aid po litical privileges, each individnal be !'4 • 4illthelf 4 130 , . ; Divided by no social castes, distraded by 'no ar bitrary and unequal distinctions, this rigt lion is the enly one on the surface of the globe whose government stands for the absolutely .unanimous expression ' of every citizen. The Republic is great be cause its justice begins at home. Its power is matchless because pivoted upon the same unconquerable principle of jus tice to all the world. Our moral power is the secret of ocrgreatness. More than one - rival nation has larger armies, vaster fleets; richer acquisitions of material Vesiltli, bet not one of them courts a con flict-with that peaceful flag which is ever to conquer in the sign of Liberty and of Right. - 'There are journals,'some of them of tra. PITTSBURGH GAZETTE - : THURSDAY, I ditional claims to the public regard—there are still more politicians preferring doubt ful titles to an enlightened respect, who will have it that, in the solution of that grcat problem of human destiny which Providence seems. to have especially charged upon this people—a prob lem which, concerning first oursel ve s, must then march on until it comprehends all the nations and races of the earth—that he republican idea which it involves must epend, not upon its own irresistible mer s, but upon the measure of 'brute force ith which zealous propagandists shall seek its expansion. These spedulations Bee nothing American to fear, or to be feared, except the - numbers of our armies, and our resources for war. Would they say that England or France, fearing our warlike power, would abandon the least claim of right, or fore_ go any tempting ambition? They forget that either of those, like still other nations of Europe, are prepared at a day's notice, to set as 'large armies in the field, or to send as great fleets swarming over the sea, in any just quarrel. Should France fear us, Ni hen a million of _her soldiers this moment wait eagerly for the signal which shall precipitate them upon a million of enemies beyond the Rhine ? Does Eng land stand.in awe of our military or naval strength, when she has ruled the great oceans for centuries of victory? When she dares, for a quarrel more another's than her own, to beard the countless hordes of the Czar, upon their own soil? When, to vindicate the personal freedom of a handful of, her imprisoned sons, she sends forty thousand men to bear the red cross of St. George into the heart of Ethiopia'? This talk, about the salutary fear with which American arms have inspired the other great powers of the world, is sim ply fustian. When the old wager of battle closed by invoking GOd to defend the right, it expressed rudely that idea which npw, in this nineteenth century of Christian knowledge, is still the most potent of mortal arms. For a just quer -rel, there lives not a people in Europe which would hesitate an hour, with that invocation, to throw down its gage against this boasted Republic of ours. And in that sign, thrice armed agnibst an • American aggression, our antagonist would win the same inexorable justice which has not once swerved since the world began. We read frequently in our exchanges, as unhappily we have, often been con demned to hear it from the numberless ELIJAH Poomsts who afflict a land with its "home in the bright settin' sun," that it is the "manifest destiny" of the Re public to overshadow, absorb and assim ulate all the Contiguous territories in this Hemisphere. • Such talk is very absurd; it never was and never will be profitable, except to promote personal ends through popular ignoranc?. and prejudice. Our only destiny—unhappily not known to the mere demagogue, but manifest taall en lightened comprehensions—is to be guided _always faithfully by the republican idea in our internal administration, remitting foreign propagandism of all sorts to the just influence of a consistent republican example. Recently, a journal of eminent pru dence and thoughtful breadth of views, the Philadelphia North American, *as betrayed into the advocacy of a direct propagandism among neighboring peo ples. It would "interfere quietly" but nevertheless effectively. It would diplo matise the,mcre efficiently, because tig Republic has great belligerent power, a fact to enforce its recommendations and yet ample to preclude any need for the exertion of that pirver directly 'at our own risk or cost. , We ventured to re mark upon this, that our coteinporary was inconsistent and illogical, not tO say real ly guilty of giving practically bad advice. We thought then,- and think still, that the North American risked a paradox for the sake of a paragraph, and really counselled a policy not wise if pos. Bible but in fact an impossibility. That journal objects to our criticism, insisting that a "quiet inteiference" is our wise and proper policy. . Such, it laims, was -the American diplomacy which "negotiated the French out of Mexico," because "France had no desire to try her arms against us under such circumstances." 'Unfortunate ,• illus tration of a 'quiet interference without risk," when tints "our amazing display of naval and military strength and material resources" is expressly relied upon 1 Again, the same sort of American di plomacy is credited by that journal with bringing about the recent league of South American Republics' against Spain. We take issue on.the facL. Chili and Peru, both at war ' with Spain.; repelled her as saults` and maintained themselves without atd from our diplomacy, which came halting along, if at all, after the conflict was over. Chili and Pere, tufted, saved themselves by their own bird knocks, and Spain, single-handed, was more than matched. The world :learns for the first time, from the - North American, that we are helping Paraguay by our "quiet in ter ferende against the allied forces now driving her to the last wall.- If there be such an interference in this ease; It is cer tainly very quiet, and its results not the moat flattering to oar diplomacy./ • When our cotemporary Affects to un dervalue our knowledge of the trans marine interests of the Republic, and esPecially to disparage our intelligent And sincere dffire for u paramomat influence in the West.

No journal has taken more advanced ground Ithan has the GAZurrs, upon all questions in our foreign Policy, and no American journal has alre4ly so clearly indicated the inevitable trinmphs of the republican principle in the West Indian islands. We trust to bed favored by the North American hereafter with its more atten tive perusal of ()Sr columns. WOMAN'S RuinTs PRACTICALLY 'LLD STR ATED. To all who desire the intellectual pro. gress of the human' race, particularly of the physically weaker sex, a most import ant and interesting exhibition is being held this week-Lthe fourth annual ex hibition of "the Pittsburgh School of Design for Worrien." It is interesting, if considered nrerely as an . elevating sight, to study the progress of a strict education in art;lto see how, from appar ently. simple beginnings, the eye and hand are educated to Et close and tine dehnea. tion of difficult forms, in all varieties, in the combination 'of nature in landscape, and in copies of some of the world-re. nowned statuarY. We may rejoice in having such an Institution and such models in our city, the position of which, among the cities of the United States, makes us earnest in desiring that she should add, to her attained commercial importance, the 'possession of and love for intellectual pursuits. Fortune has glien us the means, and, therefore, our people should be diligent and proud to encourage the arts' and sciences, without which a people would be very unsymmetrical; like trees with air and light only on one side, the branches would 'grow in that direction where all the right , influences were thus attracted, and qn the other side a de formed appearance would be pre sented to the' spectator. Thus man re quires to have all his faculties drawn out and educatedi at least in some sort of symmetry. Nation's, or their parts, should foster any kind of knowledge which careful partnts would be ready tb supply for the inStractlon of their child ren. I I This Institution of ours is mainly de signed for women, the evening classes for the other sex being rather supplementary. We confine our Observations now to the importance of this school to the sex es pecially interest4d. The fundamental, leading idea—what those concerned are working for, glifing their untiring zeal and energy to accomplish, what some of our most influential citizens are giving of their wealth to suOort and spread—is the education of women, to be industrial, if they require it; t 4 impart a knowledge, and the power, bsed on that knowledge, to step into brower, more healthful and better paid fields of labor. Every wo man, of whatever condition in life, even if now the posseksnr of wealth, 'should have some of her! faculties so thoroughly cultivated that, should fortune prove un kind, she may own the power that noth ing but , sickness could take from her—of self-support. Were this the case, women would only be more elevated thereby. The power is easily preserved. Their homes and paths of duty are more eleva ted, the more brain they bring into play / . The painter Opie's answer to the inquiryl, "Pray, what do you mix, your colors with?" will apply to every duty of life. "With brains, sii.." Then, if, as is so frequently the Case in this country, "riches take to themselves wings and fly away," instead k being dependent on father or brother,l already, perhaps, over taxed, how muchrbier they' would feel in the ability to hel themselves. Certainly parent! must, feelnore confidence in their daughters' future when they know this. To the young the themselves, we desire to quote the words of one of their own,. sex, one whp toiled, not for fame. but for a duty; for an independent living, and not to depend on an old father, and also that she Oght cultivate a .-God given talent, and Ischieve the fame which followed. CILIBLOTTE BIIONTE said : "Men begin to Ireaard the position of woman in another light than they used to do ; and a few men, whose sympathies are fine, and whose sense of justice is strong,' think and speak of it with a can dor that commands my admiration. They say, however,—and, to an extent, truly, —'that the amelioration of Onr condition depends on ourselves.' Certainly there are evils which o u r own efforts will best reach." i I To the public, we would give the words of J. ,f 3. Mau, : "If there be a natural unfitness in woman for man's employ ) ments, there is n o need to make laws on the subject; leave all careers open; let them try. Thosel l who ought to succeed will succeed, or, at least, will have a fair chance—the incapable will fall back into their right placei" Every lover of his race should encourage and support this school, that future years may show, as the past has done, that woman elevated raises man's ownl estate. DEATH OP GOV. PICKENS. Ex-Gov.P. W. Proctors, of South Car olina, died i on Monday last, at Edgefield, in that State, in the 62d year of his age. His grandfather, Andrew by name, was born. In Bucks county, Penn., but removed to South Carolina in hie boy hood. In the col4lal struggle with the mother country he was an ardent patriot, kept the field at the head of a partisan corps after the, l State was overrun by British' troops, and finally rose to the rank , of a Brigadier Gener al. Congress vOted him a sword fOr gallant conduct at the battle of 'Cow pens. Boon after he invested two British forts at Augusta; Ga., and took them. After participating in the unsuccessful siege of Ninety-six under General GREF-N, he followed the retesting enemy to the seaboard, and at the battle of Eutaw led mite of the brigades of South Carolina militia, MARION commanding the other. He was afterwards sent to the Legisla ture and to Congress, and then went back to the Legislature. His Son, also named Amorisw, was a lawyer of wealth and ability, and was Governor of South Carolina in ISI6-18. FRANCIS W. was born in Toogadoo, and educated at the South Carolina Col lege, at Columbia, and commenced prac tice as a lawyer at Edgefield. In 1832 he was elected to the Legislature by the Nul lifiers, with whom he heartily sympa thized, and soon distinguished himself as a debater; and as Chairman of the Com mittee to consider the relations of sover 7 eignty and allegiance, made a report that sovereignty was a thing indivisible, and that consequently, allegiance was indi visible also. Congress, as the agent and creature of the States severally; had no claim to allegiance, and could exer cise no sovereignty, the latter doc trine resulting directly from the form er. In 1834 he was elected to Congress, and served for ten consecutive years; In 1836 he made an elaborate report denying •the right of Congress to abolish Slavery in the District of Columbia, without the consent of Maryland and Virginia.. In 1844 he declined a re-election to Congress, and was elected to the South Carolina Senate. The "Bluffton Movement,"- a demonstration on the part of certain citi zens of the State to secede from the Union, was then in progress, and was advocated by Governor HAMMOND. Mr. Proxiqts voted with the majority against the measure. After remaining several years in private life, he was elected to the Nashville SotOern Convention, which met in 1850-1' to consider the proper course to be pursued by the South under alleged aggressions from the North. In 1856 he was a delegate to the Democratic Natioral Convention • which met at Cin cinnati. In 1857 he was appointed by President,EIICEIANAN Minister to Russia. In 1860 he was elected Governor - of South Carolina, as one of the preliminary ar rangements to the Great Rebellion, into which he entered heartily. The remain ing events of his public career will be readily recalled. CABINET RUMORS Time was when a company of elderly women, seated around a table and imbi bing tea, were supposed to be the most loquacious and gossipy of the human family. They had their period of fame, , such as it was, and have been surpassed and superseded.. The writers of Wash ington specials to the various daily news papers beat the old women out of sight. Up to the period of the late Presiden tial election Gen. GRANT'S silence, as admitted by common consent, was un matched by that of any mart who ever held high public position in this or any other country. It was one of the strong traits of his character—inherent, con stant and unconquerable. As soon as the election was over, the newspaper corres pondents took him in hand, and accord ing to their reports he has done nothing but gabble ever since—saying one day a hun dred things he was certain to contradict the neat. Some of these reports have been so gross and scandalous that the General has felt constrained to deny their accuracy. But this, which would have restrained most people, has produced no change in the conduct of the Bohemians. They manufacture conversations, opinions and preferences for the General, faster than any twenty men could manage specifi cally to repudiate them. Just now, the larger share of reports about the General relate to pretended ut terances of his in relation to the selection of members of his Cabinet. It is safe to conclude there is no more truth in these accounts than in those that went before and have finally been disposed of. The New Cabinet. The statement attributed to General Grant, and which has caused considerable stir, to wit, that immediately after he is declared President, he will communi cate with the men whom he has fixed on for his Cabinet, probably has no further foundation than this—that a leading offi cer of his staff, a few days ago, on being asked about the Cabinet, expressed the belief that General Grant was pursuing closely the policy that he indicated im mediately after his election, viz: that he should keep his own counsel entirely till he received the official certificate; . but that he, the staff official, had reason to believe that as soon as that transpired, General Grant would take steps to indicate the men of his choice; and that, in the nature of things, it would not be possible, even if desirable, to observe the same degree of reticence as has existed heretofore. It is not impnsible,, therefore, that the ars ions and curious public may know some thing more or less reliable by the middle of the cording month. 1 r Philadelphia Buletin says: Alta listening for two hours and a half to the : eloquent arguments and ap peals of Messrs. Porter, Bergh, Hutter and Brooks, in favor of the merciful treatment of animals, the large audience poured ontaf the Academy of Music on Friday night and packed into the street cars tothe cruelest extent. Fifty or sixty tender hearted philanthropists piled into each car, and were dragged miles and to their peaceful homes.
