AN ARMY OFFICER DEAp.-Noti-
tication has been received at tho War
Department of the death Of Major o.
+. Winsbip, Assistant Adju'ant Gen
cral u. S. A., at Troy on the 18th
inst, suddenly, Of inAamatory rhcum-
atism. lie was recently from tho
Sioux expedition. His disease attack
cd his head, for which there is no
cure. He literally fell victim to the
arduous nature of his duties on the
Sioux campaign.
Sorry indeed are we. for the Major,
that he is dead, but not, that another
has gone who has lifted his arm in
anger against the unotitnding Indian.
This sclf-styIed Christian nation,
should go learn, some of the simple
yet homes: laws of their thcocracy-
They are now being treated in the
most harbarous and inhuman manner,
by the whi,eman, and wo blame them
not, for making war upon him to the
very hilt of the knife. Whcn-dur-
ing tho administration Of jackson,
they were removed by our govern
ment, to the West it was told them,
that they should never again be mo-
Tested, that the land should be theirs
forever. Now, what is tie facta White
mcn-somc of them our own citizens,
1--WE arc ashamed to say iD have gone
there, with the floating vices of L" fire
water have robbed and murdered
thcm-have desecrated their alters,
and trampled rudely on the graves Of
their fathers; and now the govern
mcnt Of a self-s'yled maguanimous
and christian nation, sends an amy
with modern implements Of death, to
exterminate them. Grant that it is a
fixed law of nature, the weak shall
give place to the strong; might not
the strong with its professions Of chris
tianity, season their inhuman policy
to the weak with little mercyl If
there is a God above us-looklng
down upon. and directing tho actions
of man-then are we not to blame,
but we are inclined to think, that the
Great Spirit, has but little to do with
this kind of cowardly and mean war
fare.
