Change OF Policy wi,h respect 10
the Indians. I

The Washington Correspondent Of the St.
Louis Republican, under date ofthe 18th,
says;
ed on new Indian policy for the Govern
ment. Heretofore, the policy has been re-
mopdl. So soon as any questions would a.
rise between the white man and his red
brother, involving any serious difficulty, i'm
stead of meeting boldly the questions and
settling them, the previous policy Of the
Government has beenito remove the Indi-
ans further into the wilderness and stnve off
the responsibility Of the issues. The very
necessity Of the case now forces the Gov
ernment to change its policy-for there is
no longer any West to which to remove
the poor Indian. The white population Of
California, Oregon and Washington, will
soon demand that this incumbrance be start
ed on the opposite track, and that the red
mans path shall be sdstpara. In this crisis,
President Pierce has determined 10 adopt
the opposite Of the old policy, and continue
the Indians on their reserVations-curtailng
their boundaries instead of enlarging them.
This will force them to turn their attention
to agricultural and mechanical pursuits, and
tend TO their rapid civilization. They will
be surrounded on all sides by the music OF
the ploughman's merry whistle and the busy
click of the mechanics hammer; and these
influences must effectin greater or less de-
gree their wild and . savage nature. On
Lake Superior, several tribes who have been
thus surrounded have become excellent cit
izens. One of the Saginaw tribes is now
largely engaged in ship building, and has q
large capital invested in the business. 9th
ers Of the same tribe are engaged in various
mechanical trades, and are doing well un.

which the Government has determined t
adopt toward ALL" s r-

6FLAw SToRY.--A, few years ago, a
couple of Dutchman, Won Vampt and Won
Bones, lived on friendly terms on the high
hills of Limestone. At last they fell out
over dog. Won Vampt killed Won Bones
canine companion. Bones, choosing to as
sumo the killing to be intentional. sued
Vampt for damages. They called in due

case was asked by the Judge, whether he
killed the dog. Z" Pc sure kilt him,n said
Vampt, "but let Bones prove it, This
being quite satisfactory, the plaintiff in action
was called on TO answer lew question
and among others he was asked by the Judge
at what amount he estimated the damages.
He did not we'll understand the question
and SO, to be a little palmer, the Judge
inquired what he thought the dog to be
worth. I" Pc sure replied Bones, " the dog
was worth nothing, but since he was SO

value of him." How many suits have occu-
pied the attention of courts--how many con-
tests have engaged the time Of the public,
and have been waged with virulencc and in
vective, having no more worthy difference
than that of Won Vampt and Won Bones!

The election OF Mr.. Chase as Governor of
Ohio, by large majority, is extremely graf
flying to our Republicans, the more so that
at one time he was thought to have been
beaten. Yet the question will come up: If
the Republicans could not have carried Oh
10, what State could they have carried
There are men, too, who think it would have
been better if the democrats had trumphed
there, as they fear the result will have a
prejudicial effect on the next Presidential e.
lection. Mr. Chase they say, will now be
pressed for the national chieftainship, aud
they do not seem to believe that his nomin-
alton would be putting the right man in the
right place. as they say in England t
They further say, that if New York should
90 for the Republicans, then Mr.. Stewards
frien is will insist upon his nomination; and
that every other state in which there is q
man above the ordinary stamp, and in which
success shall crown the Republican cause,
there will be aLcandidate brought forward
Such is the way in which they talk, and
you must judge whether there is any foun-
dation for what they say. The democrats
are more exultant than they haze been at
any time since the introduction of the Ne.
braska bill. nf....

TINE Increase of the Aruv

Congress has responded 10 the call of the
War Department. and increased the army by
four regiments of the line-two of cavalry
and two of infantry. The cavalry to be or
ganized under the law of 1916, creating the
regiment of mounted rifiemen, and the infan-
try in conformity with existing laws. This
is right; and We applaud the measure. 1t
was demanded by existing necessities. ON our
expanded frontiers, from which ds1Iycomes
to us the startling intelligence of Indian mas
sacres, stamped with more than usual inerci-
less barbarities. We are of the undoubted
belief that the increase of the regular forces
of the country was called for by every con-
sideration of humanity, policy and expeden-
CIV. There are at this time, large numbers O.
recruits at the depots in New York and Bos-
ton, intended, as we understand, for the or
ganizatiOn of the infantry regiments, and
about one thousand cavalry recruits at Jefier-
son barracks (westen men) that can fill one
of the cavalry regiments without any DELAY.
If skilful and efficient officers are appoint
ed, we see no reason why these regiments
should not at an early day be thrown upon
our great thoroughfares to the Pacific, and
the spring emigration go on with its usual Sc
curity to our remotest Washington
Union.

"a Great Work in Italy.

Recent letters speak Of an undertaking by
tina King of the two Sicilies, which, if accom-
plished; -will do more for his credit than any
thing that has vet transpired since his acces-
ion. We refer to the draining of the Lake
Fucine or Cellano. This lies about ITO miles
north Of Naples AMI Is surrounded by the
highest Apprentices. The melted snow and
the rains flowing from these mountains run
into the lake, and as it has no outlet, the sur
rounding land, which is of great fertility, is
constantly liable to be submerged. Julius
Caesar intended to have had the lake drained,
but did not i've long enough to accomplish
his design. The Emperor Claudius under
took it, and had thirty thousand men en-
ployed for eleven years in constructing a ca
nal through the mountains, but his work was
destroyed by his successor.
Through succeeding ages the work was re-
peatedly resumed, bit never completed.
At length King Ferdinand III has granted to
a Neapolitan company, chiefly, however, COM
posed of Frenchmsn, certain advantageous
terms, and they are about commencing ope-
rations on the old work of Claudius, and
they are to finish it within eight years. The
lake is to be entirely drained, and the effect,
it is said, will be the reclamation Of thirty
three thousand acres of the richest land,
which, will become the property of the COM
pany. With the use Of powder and the
apparatus of modern science, the work will
not be near so difficult as it was in the time
Of Claudius. Antiquarians are looking for
ward to the drainage of the lake with much
interest, for three ancient cities have been
swallowed up in the waters, which, III sup
posed, will reveal treasures of antiquity equal
to those of Pompeii. During the reign OF
Charles the III, in the latter part of the four
teenth century, the waters fell so low that the
ruins of the ancient city of yaleria were re-
vealed.

OF GEN. HoUsToN, in the course Of his
lecture at Boston on Slavery, said: ain the
part of the country in which live we find the
adaptation of climate, soil and production,
have demanded and commanded the labors
of a class of laborers who have been expelled
from this part of the country. The slave is
not there doomed to state of abject cruelty !;
he is not doomed to heathenism. They are
under the care of masters who see that on the
Sabbath day the slaves attend the worship Of
the Supreme Being. The word of God is
either given them by men OF their own color,
or by white preachers, and they are instruc-
ted in the precepts of religion. Masters who
are rightly constituted, feel anxious that their
slaves should become acquainted with the
mysteries, the truths, and the joys of relg-
ion. They do not wish them to labor on
that day. Isay it with all sincerity, that
have known but two masters who have been
charged with employing their slaves on the
Sabbath, and their houses have become like
infected places. No one consorts with them
no one would confide offices of trust or dis
liDction to them. These / know are State
menis which are not in accordance with the
excited state Of feeling in certain portions OF
our country, but they are nevertheless true,
and feel called upon to state the truth in
return for that respect. with which am sure
it will be received" Applause. l-Ne,0 Yord

Harpers' Magazine on Barnum

Let US now tell the truth about Barnum.
He has challenged truth-telling by inviting
us to pay dollar to hear his confession, and
every Yankee has the right to discuss the val
ne of the wares he buys. Mr.. Barnum had
peculiar reputation. He was said to have
humbugged a large fortune out Of the Amer
lean people Three facts were indisputable.
Mr.. Barnum had the best museum in the
country he had done the State great service
in bringing over Jenny Lind and he punctu-
ally paid his bills. Mr. Barnum was also a
strict Temperance man, and generous in his
management of his affairs. Gradually there
was less and less said about mermaids and
woolly horses. A man Of enterprise, of sa-
gacity, always cheerful and ready, a good
neighbor, generous friend on the whole, it
was considered that the difference between
some men and others was only this that some
men made money by showing their woolly
horses and mermaids, and other men by con-
cealing them.
What a pity that shrewdness is too shrewdl
How unfortunate that the little joker" sho'd
always joke once too much for the proprie-
tor; so that the little joking business was
never known to be very profitable in the long
rum How sad the infatuation that persuades
Us to show every man who admires our pref
ty palace that it is not marble, only ingeni.
Gus stucco!
Why is it pity, and unfortunate, and sad
Because there is painful sense of untruth
and want Of manly sincerity. Because mer
love at heart what is genuine, however they
may wink and shrug outiide. Because, il
you have suffered yourself to be gullcd, al
though with your eyes open, you do not wish
to see the dubious victory of a moment re-
corded as permanent triumph. Because, tC
say that child is five years old when you
know him to be ten; to buy horse in Gin.
cinnati, and say that Captain Symmes caught
him in his hole at the North Pole, is to dc
