TAE INDIAN WAR.

The Oregon Indians have been renewing their
depredations in Arizona, and the message received
on Wednesday was to the effect that they were arm-
ing and leaving their reservations. Arizona is in a
very unsettled state, large bands being on the war-
path perpetrating such atrocities that unless troops
be despatched, the territory will Le abandoned.
With the small force there at present it is impos-
sible to take the field, therefore the Indians act
with impunity, except when they come across well-
armed settlers and teamsters, who make them pay
dearly for the loss they inflict. A circular has been
issued to the superintendents and agents of the
Indian Department informing them of the Govern-
ment's decision to treat as outlaws all Indians
who insist on leaving their reservations, while
those who remain wi!l receive every care the
Administration can bestow. The agents are en-
joined to impress this on all the ti ibes, as
the system will no longer be endured of allowing
roving warriors, after perpetrating all manner of
atrocities during the summer, to claim help and
protection, as peaceable and well-disposed men,
during the winter. Every assistance in cuitivating
the habits of civilized life is promised, of clothing,
provisions, and agricultural implements, with ample
lands even for hunting, with the alternative that,
outside these reservations, the United States trool,s
will treat them as the Indians treat settlers, which
means, simply, " shoo' ing on sight." It is evident
that the Administration had no other course to
pursue, without permitting the connection with the
Pacific slope across the continent to be severed, and
further settlement westward to be barred. The
Detroit Free Press tells how Delos G. Sandbertson,
of Monroe County, New York, lost his scalp at the
battle of Washita. We may add that he has been
in inmate of the Laramie Hospital since that event,
and has only just been discharged.
" I was in the infantry. Custer had command of the
troops. There was quite a force of cavalry with us, but
they were about a mile in the rear when we first disco-
vered the reds. Some of the troops had been sent around
so as to attack from the other side. The reds were
camped in a sort of valley, and we were within 80 rods of
them for half an hour before day-break. Just in the grey
of the morning the firing commenced on both sides, and
we had it all our own way for a few minutes, the cursed
snakes being much confused, and not knowing what
was up. At length they rallied, and we could hear
Black Kettle shouting and ordering. The vermin got
into boles and behind rocks—anywhere they could find
a place, and began to fight back with a will. We
fired whenever wo could see a top-knot, and shot
squaws—there were lots of them—just as quick as In-
dians. When it was fully daylight, wo all gave a big
yell and charged right down into camp. The lodges were
all a standing yet, and lots of Indians in them. As we
run through the alleys, a big red jumped out at me from
behind a tent, and before I could shorten up enough to
run him through with my bayonet, a squaw grabbed me
around the legs and twisted me down. The camp was full
of men fighting, and everybody seemed yelling as loud as
he could. When I fell I went over backward, dropping
my gun, and I had just got part way up again, the
squaw yanking me by the hair, when the Indian clubbed
my gun and struck mo across the neck. The blow
stunned me ; the squaws kept screeching and pulling my
hair out by handsfull. I heard some of our boys shout-
ing close by, and the squaw started and ran, one of the
boys killing her not three rods off. The Indian stepped
one foot on my chest, and with his hand gathered up the
hair near the crown of my head. Ho wasn't very tender
about it, but jerked my head this way and that, like Satan.
My eyes were partially open, and I could see the bead-
work and trimming on his leggings. Suddenly, I felt the
awfuleat biting, cutting flash go round my head, and then
it seemed to me just as if my whole head had been jerked
clean off. I never felt such pain in all my life ;it was like
pulling your brains right out. I didn't know anything
more for two cr three days, and when I came to I had the
sorest head of any human being that ever lived. If the boys
killed the viper, they didn't get back any scalp ; perhaps it
got lost in the snow. I was shipped down to Laramie after
a bit, and all the nursing I got hain't made the hair grow
out on this spot yet."

[A nvransEmENT.j—Henceforth no one will doubt the valuable
properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabica
Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings
it has already received from Invalids whose position had been
deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope,
whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of
unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the " Gazette du
Midi," July 25th:—" Rome, July 21,1866. - The health of the Holy
Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other reme-
dies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta
Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal.
It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and
his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly." We
extract a few out ofmore than 68,000 cures:—Cure No. 58,216, of
the Marchioness de Brohan, of seven years' liver complaint
wasting away, debility, nervousness, with a nervous palpitation,
all over, bad digestion, constant sleeplessness, and the most in-
tolerable nervous agitation. Cure No. 1.771: Lord Stuart do
Decies, Lord-Lieutenant of Waterford, of many years' dyspepsia.
No. 49,832: "Fifty years' indescribable agony from dyspepsia,
nervousness, asthma, cough, constipation, flatulency, spasms,
sickness, and vomiting —Maria Joly." Cure No. 46,270: Mr.
James Roberts, of Frimley, Surrey, of 30 years' diseased lungs,
spitting of blood, liver derangement, and pariial deafness. Im
portant Cantion—Beware of the many unsavoury and more that
sloppy imitations to which, without authority, Baron Liebig's
name is most audaciously attached.
