NOTES.

WANT of space compels us to postpone the publication of several articles intended for this number.

THE experiment, enthusiastically essayed a few years ago, of enlisting Indians into the army as soldiers, has been given up as impracticable, and they are being mustered out. The Indian is fond of fighting, but chafes under the restraints of discipline.

WE have received the April number of the Annals of Iowa edited by Hon. Charles Aldrich and Hon. B. F. Gue, and published by the State Historical Department at Des Moines. This is the first number of a new publication devoted under State Government auspices to early Iowa history and could not be in abler editorial hands. The frontispiece of this initial number is a good portrait of Hon. Hiram Price.
