THE INDIANS.

The following summary of the Report of the Secretary of War upon the pre- sent state of the Indians within the U. States, will probably, in the existing state of public feeling respecting the condition and fortunes of that ill-iated raees interest many of our readers:
 The ChleasaSes have plenty of horses, large herds of cattle, swine, sheep, goats and poultry. They raise cotton. corn, wheat, oats, peas, beans, potatoes, &c.
 They exported in 1899, 1000 bales of cotton, and considerable amount" of beef and pork. Rifles are now in use only for Qanusenaeat--notat at all depended upon for support. Every family culti- yates the earth more or less-the men instead of the women performing the outdoor labor. Schools flourish, and many adults profess christianity. As q nation, they are brqUe and honest. The women are beoutvssl and 0irtasous. Civil ization has greatly advaneed within, S years. Their laws are written, few and plain, and highly calculated to promote "peace and good order" among them- selves. Mechanic arts are introduced to considerable extent-carpenters, wheel-wrights, ,mill-wrights, blacksmiths lsgc. find fnll employment.
 The Choctuacs exhibit an improvement hardly paralleled in the civilized world. hatensperaaee IS almost azafaaoasn. They have m organized, regular government written aud well defined laws, extend ing to all cases of crimeal ard civil i,1- risprudence likely to arise amongst such a society.

To His lfXceliency, Wv. ;. FULTON, Act
 ing Overseer ofthe Plantation of Arkan-
 sas.
 SfR:-By your recent appointment of stranger, over the heads of all our citizens. to the office of Clerk of the superior Court ofthis Plantation, in the humble opinion of one of the hands, you have either dis covered weakness that proves you to be unfit for the station which you nominally occupy, or evinced criminal disregard and contempt for the rights and the voice of the people.
 Whether in this appointment your pre- affection has emanated from the vanity of having been the agent of this individual in his late abortion, with a design bY future services to reeompense him in some de- gree for past neglect; or whether from a reYerential regard for, and disposition to E. render service to, his benevolent kins. man, the Chief Gverseer, who has recon elled 1t to his pride, and condescended to become the Overseer of the hands of this Plantation, as much to their issa tisfaction AS his appointment, to him, at first. seem ed derogatory 10 his dignity is equally a matter of indifference to the people, and criminality in yourself. But if from the latter consideration, it only proves that your desire to gratify the feelings of the Chief Overseer, has procured you to com init an act of official fnisrule which his knowledge of human nature, and aspiring designs, if not his sense of Justice and respect for the public, would ever have de- tered him iron. perpetratng.
 But resting your case OF either alterna- tive, in the first exercise of your arbitrary power, you have not only outraged the ynanpIo,S r,frttc h,,4 ,.o,, br,,o +Ia ! ance to the will of the community, which man of better discerlnaem in your situa- tion, and even yo2t, with all your frailties, in the exercise of an office derived from. and dependant on, the people, would not dared to nave done. Then permit me, sir, 10 predict, that for this abuse of Executive power, should 1t become as well known in the Executive Chamber of the nation. as It IS to the people here, the justice, firm ness and penetration of the venerable pat riot, under whose will you hold your char ter of oppression, will render unto the peo- pie just retribution for the wrongs yeu have inflicted, by the speedy extinction of your political powers.
 What Executive in the same length of time, ever betrayed so great degree of political inconsistency, as has your excel lency in this your short triumph of politi- cal pomp? Have you not proven recreant to the cause that created you-blasphemed the sacred principles of democracy-and become political godfather and patron to the federal organ of this Plantation!
 How your parental care and attention to this unnatural son may ultimately suc- ceed, will not venture to foretell--with the prospect of an ample patrimony he will Ho doubt prove fliaI and obedient for a while. but l awfuiiy apprehend that he will finally degenerate into political Hydra, that will prove subyersive in this Plantation to the principles of '0a.

 The tribes at the North West, in the Agency of Gov. Cass, have made no advances in civilization within the last 8 years. On the contrary. every year adds to the moral and physical evils which surround them.

 Our readers will reeollecta a plan pro- poseds some time since, to raise fund for the benefit of lultonis Heirs, by pIa- cing q box on board each Steamboat, in which one centof the passage money of every passenger should be deposited. ] he work has commenced. The Fred rcksburg Arena informs us, that this plan became the subject of conversa- tlon among some gentlemen on board the Patuxeat, on her way to 7redericks- burg on Friday last, when Messrs. Jas. M. Carnett, Joseph C. Cabell, Angus tine Neale and John Waring, determine ed to present box to the new Steam boat Rappahannock, with a request that sine might be the first to try the experi- ment. The box was accordingly made and the next morning presented; all the proprietors who could be met with, ex- pressed much qualification at having an opportunity to set so praiseworthy an example. The Box has the following inscription:

 His Excellency JoHs PopE, Governor of this Territory, returned to this place on Saturday evening last, from Kentucky, af- ter an absence of more than six months.
 We are informed by gentleman direct from Washington City, that the bill appro- priating SIS, ,oo0 for the remoyalof obstruc- tions in the Arkansas river, was not ap- preyed by the President.
 LITTLE BILLY has ingloriously fled from the contest, leaving the field in our undis- turbed possession. Perhaps he has very wisely come to the conclusion, that
 1s He who fights and runs away,
 May live to fight another day.'
 If so, we admire his prudence, as it always is submitted. that ssdiscretion is the better part of valor' ''-Or 1t may be, that the sage little Editor is somewhat apprehen- siye of the contents of our unpublished lH- Ae book. In consideration, however, of his good behaviour the past week, we will at present, postpone our proposed publiea- tion. But by way of advice, not untimcly, we hope, we will inform him, the maau- scrtpt is always at hand.
 The Steamboat Waverley, Capt. Pen- nywit, arrived at our landing on Saturday night last, about 3 clock, from the Mouth of White River, and after discharging con- siderable freight, departed early on the following morning for cantonment Gibson.
 We learn that the Steamboat Travel Ter, bound to Cantonment Gibson, is a. ground 15 or 20 miles below this place.
