The Red Indian War.

After General HANCOCK'S interview with the
Cheynne chiefs, the warriors showed the truth of
their assertions that they " desired only peace, and
that they would refrain from hostiledemonstrations"
by immediately proceeding on the war-path to the
Smoky Hill route. The country chosen by these
savages for their operations is familiar to the
English reader of HEPwolern DIXON'S New
America. Not many months ago that gentleman
visited the stations along this road, when it ap-
peared to him that the war now raging was inevit-
able. The Cheyennes along this line attacked and
burned three stations, killing, scalping, and roasting
three men employed at one of them. All the
horses and mules were stampeded, and the means
for carrying the mail destroyed. On receipt of this
intelligence General CusTER, in command of 1,500
cavalry, was dispatched in pursuit, and HANCOCK
decided to burn the village in his neighbourhood,
consisting of 251 lodges. It is calculated that the
Sioux and Cheyennes lost by the fire, property
valued at $lOOOO, and that it will require 3,000
buffalo skins tá restore the village. By the latest
news, General HANCOCK was at Fort Dodge, where
he held a council with the Kiowas, who, as usual,
professed themselves desirous of peace. The Cheyen-
nes, after committing the ravages, moved South,
Crossing the Arkansas river, and General HANCOCK
proposes to follow them into the Indian country.
General SMITH'S Brigade is detailed for duty at
Fort Dodge to guard the Santa Fe road, with the
7th Cavalry attached, who will scour the surround-
ing country in patrols. Stories of Indian outrages
have been received from the Arizona territory, the:
Apaches having been active in attacking and scalp-
ing traveller., while the whites have retaliated, and
a war of extermination is there progressidg.Gene-
ral GREGG, iu an expedition to the Black Moun-
tains, killed sixty-four Indians, wounding many
more, capturing and destroying a large amount of
provisions and stores. Idaho advices state, that
that territory is the scene of many outrages, and it
is clear that all the tribes are in motion for a last
and desperate effort to drive the whites out of their
country. However melancholy it may be to see
the Indians thus rush headlong to destruction, their
fate cannot be averted. The law of force is their
only law ; and the wants of the moment their only
care. They have no rule of right, and, worse still,
no thought for the future. It is in• vain to argue
with tribes who evade the eternal decree that man
should live by the sweat of his brow, and who rule
that it is the business of mother nature, un-
aided, to supply their wants. When the General
told the Cheyenne chiefs that the buffalos were
going away very fast, and that they would all
disappear eventually, Tall Bear, wrapped gracefully
in his buffalo robe, replied that they were becoming
scarce, that they had never been so scarce as during
the past winter, adding significantly, that the white
men had made them scarce. If they attacked the
trains on the Pacific Railroad, said the General,
they would do great injury to themselves. He bad
heard that they proposed to stop travel on the
roads; but if they did this they would do wrong, and
the great father in
rashington would be angry and
•
hit them hard. The reply of the tribes was their
actionsotanthe,
tShmreoekAy
mHeirillearonuteei,tilvehnesr. The buffalo
e they roasted,
isaas
we ted
their food, white men make the buffalo scarce ;
therefore, white men must be driven off. It is vain
to argue, to tell them that there are other Means of
living than by hunting ; those means, involve work,
and ,work is too degrading an employment for a
Cheyenne warrior. When the General spoke of
the white man feeding the Indian, Tall Bear
answered conclusively, " when they were hungry
they had gone to the Fort for food, the officer in
command had told him he would shoot him, if he
came to the Fort." Even Tall Bear knew that it
was not the habit of the white man to give some-
thing for nothing. It is quite clear, and has long
been so to those best acquainted with Indian affairs
that this war was inevitable ; that it bad been well-
debated through a lengthened period, and that a
strong combination had been resolved on, ramify-
ing over all the tribes of the plains, to make one
.great and united effort to free the Territories from
the presence of the white intruders.--Anglo-Ameri-

The visit of the Revenue Commissioners to Eng-
land and the Continent of Europe will take place im-
mediately. The commissioner, David A. Wells joined
by General Garfield, of Ohio, and Mr. Alli son, of
lowa, were to have sailed in the Inman steamer of
the 18th inst., and may therefore be expected in a
few days. Their tour is wholly connected with
business of the Revenue Department, and they
come therefore in their official capacity. It is to be
hoped
they will meet with a cordial reception on
this side, and that the financial statesmen of Europe
may take the opportunity of discussing opinions with
many who have influenced so largely the affairs of
a nation which has stood a financial strain never
before sustained by any country.
On Thfirsday, the 9th inst., a riot occurred at
Richmond among the negroes. A crowd had
gathered at Carey-street to witness a trial of fire-
ht took place, and the police
engines, when a fi
arrested a negro. A struggle ensued between the
police and the freedmen, during which the captured
negro was rescued, re-taken, and again rescued,
the
mob throwing paving stones, and seriously injuring
Captain Jenkins, two sergeants, and one private of
the police force. General Schofield ordered up a
company of the 11th nCgittlerit, and appeared him-
self on the ground. He addressed they mob, direct-
ing them to disperse, to which they id no atten-
tion. The soldiers levelled bayonets, and swept the
street at the charge. Reinforcements arrived at the
station-house during the night, which prevented the
renewal of the riot.
