NOBLE SENTIMENT.

After General HARRISON, with the Northwes.
tern army, had destroyed the Indian villages from
which the ruthless hordes of savages had issued
which murdered our men nj the River Raisin, he
issued proclamation to his army on the 81 Janu-
AIRY 1913, giving details of his killed aud wound.
ed, and exhOrting his soldiers to mercy on the van
pushed foe. lie says:
1t is with the sincerest pleasure that your gen
eral has heard that the most punciual obedience
was paid TO his orders not only in saving the
women and children of the enemy, but in sparing
all the warriors who ceased to resist and that,
even when vigorously attacked by the enemy, the
claims of MERCY prevailed over every sense of
their own danger, and this heroic band respected
the lives Of their prisoners. The General believes
that humanity and true bravery are iuseparable.
The rigid rules of war unny sometimes indeed,
make severe retaliation necessary; but the adj
van;ages which attend frequent recurrence TO il
are uncertain aud not to be compared TO the bes-
sing which Providence cannot fail to shed upon
the efforts of the Christian soldier who is in bat.
tie lion, but, the battle once ended IN mercy n
lamb " Let an account OF murdered limo
cence be opened in the records of Heaven against
orr enemies aione. The American soldier will
follow the example of his government, and neither
the sword of the one will be raised against the
helpless or the fallen, nor the god of the other
puid for the scalp of massacred enemy"
Such sentiments show the inherent goodness OF
Ger. ilarrson's heart. The victory he achieved
told to the world his military skill and his fearless
courage, while this proclamation mani ested bis
wise benevolence. Well would it have been if
the same Ienity had been shown TO the Indians in
other parts Of our country but another and con
rary spirit was exercised by other generals in their
contests with the Indians, and opposite results are
palpably visible. The Northwestern indians,
whom Harrison subdued, though lar more numer-
Gus aud warlike, have trusted us and never rebel
led, except when starved and defrauded and
robbed, us the Sacs were by the Indian agents APP
pointed by our late President. The Seminoles
have hated us, and will hate us forever; and now,
when twenty millions have been spent in vain to
suhdue handful of these Indians, the Admins
tration cannot drive them out without the aid OF
bioodh0nnds. VIII the bloodhotlnds do better than
the mild measures Of the "good and Gu liant HAIR
