Anting tc Irt imrite the ftnake re ceive! from the SpanUh country were many stolen by the white from the Mexicans and Drought and oM to these Indian. AikI if that ro't ickeuing murder and burning of the Warp family be referred to, it hould be known that a lew year lcfore two Aricara chief were tiel anl cat into a burning log-heap, by a party of white, and burned up alive in fcight of their wailing com rade, for horao and liearcr tcalin, in which the white. had outdone the Indian. (.Sec Bonneville, vol. 1, page (X).) Such are the navago cruelties that white men learn to practice who mingle in savage life; and such are the act that lead to terrible recrim inations on the part of the Indians. Such ease dwell in the recollection of whole tribes, and it i a point of honor and conscience to revenge them. And, Itcside. this party was headed by thefamou I lot -hoi, one of the,Cavuie mur derers of Dr. Whitman, who brandished hi bloody kmfj ovir the IwadH of the doomed loody knifi ovir the white children', tnd was brtlum recognized and who, iu ctmpan'y with hi fellow mur derer, had been mado most effectually to understand that they had done a gtd deed, hy the haptuing of their children by the "great white chief" the prict while the dead bnlte of the flain lay yet imburicd alut him the food of wolves and dogs by night and of hogs and vulture by day. But more of thi when we come to it in the nar at h e. I do not mention thce thing hero to jus tify the thieving and murders of the Indians, but to call the attention of " the sober-minded to the probable cause. The '.'fwhito-skins" have thousands of 'newspapers and letter writers j the "red -skins" have none. And if hanging or burning alive bo tho penalty of s'caling property let it bo underUMd in the treeflicH. and a big fire made at Washing ton ; for it will be seen, when wc get to the treaty with the Ncz Perec, to nvy nothing of other, that whilo the "red-skins ' steal $100, the Government and its atttieh'e rtcal SI ,000, and under 'circumstances far more aggravating and cowardly than the thefts of the Indian. Far sometime after wo arrived at rendez vous, Mrs. Spalding grew weaker. Tho fol lowing is from her journal : 'July 8. My illness rather increases; but all is in tho hands of my Savior, who knows and will do what is for tho best. I am happy to wink into His will concerning what awaits me." This is tho lady that President Lincoln's adopted Brownel Provillet Report would rep resent as crossing tho mountains and the continent, in company with Mrs. Whitman, for no other purpoxo than to steal the calico horses 01 the Indians, poison them, and take horses ot the Indian, poison them, and take tfiftir lands. (See said report, pago 27.) And hom Mr. Lincoln YepresentSj by his Secretary of the Interior, as turning mis- th A S sionary apostate and running away from her mission work. But on the third day Capt. Bripps, having found somewhere a handful of dried apples and a little flour, brought them to her. God interposed. Her stomach retained it. IIopo revived. Tho fever left her. Tho Indians also brought a quantity of dried' KAmas root biscuit, Which she could eat. Sho began to recover.

KLDcip3K-I never understood lujiy me vaiDo ot a tntnute until l was taught it by this Congress. Tho practice seems to tavo been established hero that th wo'st important measures that come before this hougo is discussed in the least time. Some gentleman upon tho other side of tho house is assigned the floor, and as upon this occasion partitions out ten minutes to one, eight minutes to another. four minutes to another and I believe as low as two minutes to another, for the dis cussion of a measure which U to abrogate tho constitution iu ten of the states of this Union. Ten minutes arc allotted to me. I idiall not istultify myself, by pre tending to make on urgujiut itithcko too minutes. ' . I shall content myself with denouncing this measure r.s most wicked aud abomin able. It contains all that is vicious, all that is mischievous in any and all of the propositions which have come cither irom the dommittce on reconstruction or from any gentleman upon the other side of the house. I am not quite so certain as my friend from Ohio (Mr. Le Blond) that when this bill shall have become a Jaw. a ttato of wur will not exist. In mv fudg- ttieut, this bill is of itself a declaration of war against tho southern people; it is at lcat a revival and continuation of the war which we had hoped was forever ended. If it is hello ce taunt; now, from the time this bill shall pas and become a Jaw, it tvill be a war actual and flagrant which will I fear involve that whole people, white and black, in ono common ruin. .Now, what U this measure? I do not wonder that there is some difference ol opinion upon the other side of the house I should wonder if there was not. Tor as you approach the final consummation of the purpose which you had in igw of virtually declaring the government of our fathers a failure, I wonder not that you uuicr; mat you nave some misgmugs. I ho gentleman from Connecticut (Mr llrandegee) told us the other day that the measure thcu before tho house similar to this was commencing at the' right point; that it was to perform exactly the purpose wiucii mey uesire: trial it was commenc ing at Appomattox court houe. where Gen. Grant left off. The gentleman would have more truly expressed the fact in my judgment, if he had declared that it was commencing' exactly herc Kobert h. Lee Iclt o!I. And the gentleman from from Pennsylvania. (Mr. Stevens) in bold enough to declare that it is the purpose io concur in me revolution inaugurated by m; teflon ut and carried on by them against the government of the United States, and which he "fays ho hopes to fee perfected in making this a true and per feet republic. It was well said by my friend from Ohio (Mr. Lc Blond) that this bill starts out with a fabcbood, it does. Indeed. It declares that there arc no legal govern ments in these states. It not only starts out with a lie, but every provision of the bill is a lie: it is one consummate unmitiga ted lie from beginning to end. It will, if tt shall become a law subject the people of teu states of this union to the unwritten, undefined aud undeflnable will of a brig adier general of the army. It will sub stitute for our written constitution and the laws made in pursuance thereof the arbitrary, uncontrolJcd and unltmtted wil of a military despot. It matters not who he may be; how pure, how upright; I cire not if he be the commander-in-chic of the army, he will be, he can be noth ing less than a .military despot. Gentle men may sugar-coat the pill if they can on that side or this side of the house, by saying that it is all to be under the con trol of tho president of the United States Sir, I respect the president of the United States; I honor him in his position and ofiice,and tor many things tie has done; but sir, God never made the man or the ange whom I would trust with the liberties of the people unlimited and unrestrained by a written constitution. JSo man is so pure, so just so generous, so unambitious that I would trust the lives and liberties of a great people in his hands withou having, his power controlled or con strained by some written constitution or law. " v But the effect of this bill is to abrogate the constitution of the United States, or overthrow ail government and commit al the rights, all the vast iutercsts of the people of those states to tho supreme wil and pleasure ot a military despot. I cast reflection upon any particular man or of ficer who may be deputed to hold position and exercise power under this bill , I make no charge against any "one, for I know npt wno may oe appointed, nut i ao say that, whoever he may be, ho will, he must of necessity, be a tyrant. Jle cannot hi the position and bo anything else. The work prescribed, the -powers, to be exercised, can only, bo performed and ex erciscd by tyrants. ;,And yet gentlemen affect to believe this is a restoration of the union , this Is the constitutional guaran of republican form ot government; this is the consummation ot all our hopes, the reward for all our sacjiOces in the fearfu struggle through which we have passed What good can' gentlemen expect from this mcasuVo'?' what protection of rights, interests lives and liberties of tho people not secured" by pour constitution ? What laws do you expect are to be administered Has your, constitution of government proved itself in' years gone by so defective and inefficient that to-night, in the pres ence of the civilized world in this Amer- ican congress, g to declare that it is a sublime and miserable failue? You declare nothing lesi than i. this; you declare even more. than this', that in the last four years you have become so much in lovo?with 'military rule and military au thority that you Jtvill now ' substitute for your written constitution the best the world has ever seen, exclusive military authority. Ia this what tho gentlemen desiro? . Can it bo that they have come to this? -Is itgfrange that they doubt that they hesitatethat they cannot come up with entire unanimity to the support of this terrible, this monstrous proposi tion ? Jt would be strange indeed if they could. ...,r. 1 .' Do gentlemen ezpecfc that the Teonle on whom this despotic tliis tyrannical measure is to bo imposed win submit tamely? That they will bear uncom plainingly this kind of rule for an indefi nite period of time?. Do you expect that OjUiet.good ordc, peace and amity will uuui'j ug;i, uf Bucn laws anu impositions as this? I tell you, gentlemen, that if blood docs not flow again, if war does not 'again rage in this Jand, it will be no fault of this measure or of those who support it. Lucre tho liammcr fell. flic IJrnve IJojhIu IJlQ. Wc all remember I Itisecms but yesterday, that all over the land hereaway newspapers were prais ing the Brave Hoys in Blue, while chil dren. Jminsirels , deacons, divines, rich and poor, were loud in their professions of love to the defenders of their homes. When iron idiod and cannon belching war held the country as in a vice,' the Brave Boys in Blue cere all the rage.

The bill holds out the promise, but we had no thought they would keep the faith they pledged. That opinion, we tie, is gaining ground. The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Times says: " I observe that several of the northern- papers ar? urging the southern people to go to work and reconstruct their states under the military government bill, to that they can be admitted under, its pro visions. I presume tho southern tjcodIo will judgo for themselves what ia best for them to do. - But I am ia - a position to say, and I do say, no southern state will be admitted to congress, or into the union, ' under the military governmsnt bill or its supplement; nor will' representatives of any southern 'fctate ever be admitted to congress under any circumstances by the 40th congrcj-3. The object of these bills, . tod the ebject of the radicals who formed them is to permanently dissolve the uniop,w . and to keep the southern states excluded and in a conquered and sujugated attitude. These bills are not the last measures which the radicals have in view. '. Wait until af ter the recess; wait until after the 40th congress gets fairly to work; and then you will sec whether the men who control the 40th congress intend these measures to be a finality or not.

Coal Fields of the States.- Ycry few people have a correct idea of the coal fields in the United States. . To doubt tho figures will astonish many as it does us.
