The telegraghic reports confirm the fear that the steamer Vera Cruz had gone down in the terrible gale that blew off the coast of Florida on the 20th ult.

SEGEE, Is now running buckboards and hacks between Darlington, AND Fort Eliott, An explosion occurred on the Sth inst. at the Seaham coal Colliery, near Durham England. Both shafts of the mine are blockaded, though half a mile apart. About 2o0 men were in the pit, some of whom arc alive. Communication has been opened with eighteen men, who be lieve that they are the only surviv ors. This is, perhaps, the most de structive accident on record, and the cause of tho ignition of the fire damp cannot so much as be conjec tured. The lamps used were of the most approved kind and the rules relating to their use were wry slrict. . Ayoob Khan has about 26,000 men at his command and owing to the character of the surface of the countrv, which is not understood by the English soldiers, is likely to wage a very desultory war. Generals Roberts and Pray re arc now on the ground and it is reported defeated the Afghans on the d inst., captur ing a large iminler of guns and pris oners. Ayoob's forces retreated to the neighboring mountains where they are well nigh invulnerable, and it will not be surprising if they make a long and bloody war of it.

On the night of the third of this month, a. party of men with black ened faces entered a house near Trales in Kerry, Ireland, and cutoff the ears of two men who had been left in charge of the premises. The fact that a tenant bad been remov ed from the place a short time be fore may have had something to do with the outrage. If there should be a, wool famine within the next two years, it would ft' i not surprise those who have given the subject careful thought. All over Lthc continent of Europe the rot is killing the sheep of in vast numbers, and the number now remaining is far below the average. Jt is not im probable that the American wool grower who has stuck to his busi ness through gloomy times in soon to recieve his reward. If we may put confidence in tel egraphic reports, England is bavin army would go like George's did over a hundred years ago. From the Commercial we learn that a six year old colored bootblack has been playing the part of sneak thief and burglar quite successfully for some time past in (-aid well. Me attempted to go through the Com mercial office recently but failed, losing his hat by which he was iden titled next day. After being placed in the lockup ho disclosed the names of two other colored citizens of ma turer years who had been instigat- ft w ing him in his thefts. The boy is sharp and quick and only needed sufficient encouragement to make him burglarize with an energy wor thy of a bettor cause. The talk about abolishing the En glish Plousc of Lords is only the be ginning of an attempt, soon to be made, to abolish the lords them selves. They are the remnants of a feudal system, abhorrent to the spirit of the age, and in direct oppo sition to the people in every effort toward equal rights.

The above statement, while not in itself untrue, if? decidedly equivocal and calculated to convey the idea thait. these are about all the Indians we have who will work, which is ji long way from the truth. Plad the Cres set man made inquiry he would have found that all Uot; brick, about 100,000, that jaave gone into tho commissary were made by .Indians, that all the lime used in that struct ure was burned by Indians, and! that all the hauling of lumber, .hard ware, sand, brick and lime for tho whole work was clone by Indians. A large amount of hay has been put. up for Government use. by Indians, and all who can get work are chop ping on a Government! -contract for cord wood. Quite a number a.re regularly employed by the Agent, and these especially are steady olli citnt and nvlhibJe workmen. The truth is that a large number of In dians "apply for work to every one who can be accommodated. And again, had our friend been here -oia the morning of the i)Lh inst .and had he seen the oonsoli dated trains .otf seventy-six four horse teams coma in. with the heaviest loads and o.ui the best time ever made by Whites or Indians, and had he seen this vast bulk of freight all unloaded and! snugly stored away s-dl inside of six hows, we think he would take a dif ferent view of -the case. While we do not pretend to say that all the Indians of this Agenc-j have risen above their native dirt,, laziness and superstition, yet wo cannot help observing the tendency of most while people to stand on their heads when the Indian is to be considered. Most persons who have visited this country and who have written it up, have dwelt with greaS. force and effort on what they ternu the natural depravity of the racev while tliev have jis studiously avoid ed snying anything obout the prog rew the Indian .?. making. Such a course towtird 41 people who are making a commendable effort to el evate thuir condition is, to uso thu mildest expression, very uncharita ble and calculated to do the Indian serious injury. 1, It hat beoa denuaist rated by a re ft d olwrvritim that It take fiw behjudjatlu Its properly to cscvt one i liikf jyafAtini' twelve V'aiiiJ To ii (lf,u.
