A leading Richmond paper coolly ad- vacates the payment of the Sontbqn war, debt by the geaeral Government, and also thitrits it ahoutthe fair thong that slaveholders should be remunera ted for their lost chattels from the same - source.

During the• fore part of last month, twenty-nine'gentlemen of the extreme tee-fetal-temperance stripe met at liar ripiptirg to celect appropriate men for nominees 611 . nio temperance ticket.— This was all well enough; but when these gentlemen selected McCandless as their leading nominee were they aware that his "post of honor,'' and "private station" just after his resigna tion, was in Washington avenue, Fiala delphia, where he manufactured strong waters in company witits Mr. Smith ? whether this arose from Ignorance, or the difficulty of finding a decent Dem ocrat with temperance antecedents, we do not knew. A AY ORD IN SEASON. r ThePe is, in almost every county of quificient population to make county offices an object, a set or clique of poli ticians Who aspire to direct affairs mu nicipal.

But it is undoubtedly true that every considerable village 'or county has , a clique of this hind ; and it is equally true that failure to carry their plans successfully, is quite apt to develop the principle of " s tile or ruin." It is needless to add that these self constituted lenders assume—rather by implication than expression—to direct the course of the leading party paper in their section. A failure to do this indicates political heresy in the editor. Fidelity to principle means, with them, fidelity' to the slate ; and refusal fosup port their schemes is "igoing bfek on the phrty." Where the press and pa per—not to mention the editor-L-are owned by politicians, this thing works; but it 'won't work to any extent the Agitator.

N.—During a cqnversation at the War Department, to-day, a'prominent general" who, has given much attention to the Indian question, stated that it seems Imposs ible for the Indians and the white set tlers to get along together in peace; that there would be no .ditliculty in managing the Indians if it were not for the whites, and that the whites , would' get along very well ,if it were not ,for the Indians. It seems, however, that the War Departnient has been con vinced that it is necessary, in .the lan guage of the general, to thrash soundly the Sioux Indians of the North-West. The Department considers that the Sioux haie-no excuse for their con4uot during the pa4-few months ; Ithat they not only raid the valleys and settle ments of the whites, killing the inhab itants and running off their stock, but Murdering the friendly Indians also. Owing to the jarga, reduction of - the army ordered by the last Congress,'and the consequent inadequacy of the force in the West, the troops,will be obligati to ,act on the defensive until next Spring, when the department hops to obtain additional forces. It ht‘ thght (;:t that the Secretary of War, in his , ext annual report, will urge upon Congress the propriety of Increasing the army 6,000 or 10,000 men, which the exigen cies of the service seem to requirS, 'in view of the Ku-Klux Arcitibles in the South and the Radians in the West.
