THE INDIANs.--Bs the treaties with the Sioux
Of 1881, the Government is authorized TO estab lis
such rules and regulations for the government, Of the
Indians, as may appear best adapted for the promo
ton OF their peace and prosperity The Lower Sioux
about to be removed 10 the country igned them
the Minnesota, and will be more concentrated than
they have been. The Indians of the Upper
Minnesota Valley, will have the ,ency brought to
their neiehborhood and viii have much more inter-
course with the Government than heretofore In ad-
dtion TO this, there a,e new officers in the Indan
Department Of the Territory and never could bet
ter opportunity present for an entire change in the
regulations OF the Department, as far as the Sioux
Indians are concerned
Probably policy is more necessary among the
Sioux than that Of ind viduaty Of property Until
each individual can be secured in his property of
whatsoever kind, progress can be made in the i'm
prov enen of the condition of the Indians There is
at this time nducemcnt for the Indian to labor or
to ondeavor to wealth. rs any other indiy iJual
mas, with lmpuniy, either appropriate it to HE own
use, destroy il. If this could be obyiaed--if all
violation the part of Indian on the rights Of
''uib w iHCFtitN, ara ttcn person could
feel satisfied that the results Of his labor would bcne
ft himself and family, more would have been gained
towards cv1io3 the Indians than could be effected
under the present system in century
The letters recently published from Rev Mr.
Riggs, gentleman who has resided long in the In
dian country, who speaks the language perfectly and
is well acquainted with the manners and habits Of the
Indians, contain suggestions on the necessity Of a
change in the provision and clothing disburse nts
OF the Government. Ii all disbursements to the
Indians made by the dsbursing officers direct TO
the Indian, instead Of the chief or band much would
be gained but after the property has been disbursed
to an individual his right to rtoin the property for
his own use and that Of his family should be secured
We hope Gov. German will examine into this mat
ter, and that such change may be made in the policy
OF disbursns goods and provisions to the Indians and
that such regulations will be made for the security Of
the property of each individual among the Indians
as he may from his knowledge of the subject deem
proper. Never can better opportunity for
change in the policy of the Government towards the
Indians in these respects.

There have been vexed questions, in regard to

The above letter speaks confidently Of The practical
billy Of the roue lis we'll as the advantages it ros-
sesses other routes. ami feel doubt but the
report of Gov Stevens will be satisfactory to all who
desire to make Investments in the construction OF the
road. Gov. Stevens has the reputation of being a
superior Engineer, ard from the pro,np ness with
which his Expedition has been GOT under way, we
are satisfied he is energetic.
The Milwaukee "W sconsiu,'' in speaking Of this
route, ana its prospects, saws:
''lt II now about two wears since the route from The
head OF Lake Superior 10 puyet's Sound was first
proposed. Views OF is importance TO Wisconsin,
and to the Valley Of he Lakes. have been presented
10 the public for their considerations Gov. Do,y has
submitted the subject 10 President Pierce, ard we
learn that expedition is organizing under Gov
Stevens. who was lately appointed Washington
Territory, and who is Il the best engineers IN our
country, to explore the country through winch the
route passes lis feasibility will therefore be ascor-
tanned during The coming season. and there can he no
