tionsr and " reservations" west and north
west of Arkansas, aud the few scattered

A great outcry has more than once been
raised about the diabolcal injustice, so
called, Of the exterminating and revenge
rul character of the measures now being
pursued against the Indians. This, how
ever, is far from being reasonable objec-
ton; although we must confess that the
case is primd fdeic strong against the pres
ent administration, since it is one where we,
the stronger nation, are arming against the
the wcaker-a well known trick Of the he
roes now managing the executive depart
ments. And this final extinction Of whole
nations, who are, moreover, after their saw
age fashion, only striking for their father
land, their homes, and their rights, is mex
presSibly sad to the philanthropist and the
christian. Yet it is, apparently, neccssi-
ty. The anglo-Saxon race will spread
and the forests must fall, and the deserts
must grow green and Aowery, before and
around its advancing footsteps. Its pio-
ncers will be rude and uncultiyated men,
of fierce hearts and strong and ready hands
who will reck little Of the wild savage,
his rights or his wrongs, his comfort or his
anger. The proud and passionate sayages
will waylay and murder, as they always
have; and the revengcful frontiersman toW,
as s'heretofore, kill the Indian devils" like
so many dogs. Unless the forest pioneers
are cxemplarily forbearigg and forgiving
christian, or unless the savages shall be-
come such in advance Of them, neither of
which conditions seems likely to be fulfilled,
the collision is absolutely necessary; and
as surely as it comes, the aboriginese will
perish. Their few remaining rowing bands,
scattered and weak as they are, can offer
no substantial resistance to the attack Of
the whites. Their numbers ore set, by guess
Of the Oregon papers, at 10000; it is,
however, very unlikely that there are more
than 1900 or 1000 fighting men Of them,
all told. Few or many, they will all have
perished ere long; and the rowing Indians
of central North America will be known
only in tradition.-N. Y. Times.

ARRIVAL OF Col. SHAw.-Col. B. F.
SHAW, with his command of some IS men,
it is said, will be at the falls Of Shutes
river this evening. They are represented,
in the main, as being young, vigorous
and daring band-admirabS adapted to
the service they will be called upon to per-
form. Col SHAW has done as much, If not
more, than any person in the Territory,
since the war commenced, to keep tho
friendly Indians at peace, and to prepare
for giving a check 20 the hostiles. After
agent BoION was murdered by the Yakl-
mas, Col. S. was Immediately appointed by
Major Cam, as special agent. He has
been, for the most part, since that time
actively, vigilantly and vigorously employ
ed in the country east Of the Cascades, in
the discharge Of his duty, and has but re-
Gently accomplished that which perhaps
but few other men in the Territory could
have done. He comes to us, for our pro-
lection and defence, with body OF men
who have volunteered their services, under
him from Oregon. Too much praise can
not be accorded to Col. s. for the active
part he has taken in the Indian troubles
since their commencement and this mark
of confidence manifested towards him by
the people Of Oregon, in volunteering un-
der him, is a matter Of which he may well
feel proud. Col. s. has seen some service
ere this time-having served in the Cayuse
war, and we trust that an opportunity may
be afforded him and his brave command to
do something handSOme-to strike q deci-
sive blow against the hostile Indians in the
present war ere its close.

Mr.. Editor: 1t is to be regretted that, in

visible in Tennessee ut the present day, and
particularly in East Tennessee, that local
prejudices and sectional luminosity should so
far govern our people rs to retard improve.
ment and cripple Legitimate enterprise. The
true character of East Tennessee needs only
to be known to ensure the means necessary
to make oil the great internal Improvements
required by the peculiar position and confor-
nation Of country. This morning started
copy Of Prof. Safford's Geological Report,
to some gentlemen in London, with my en-.
dorsement as to its accuracy and truth with
regard to all that portion of the State which

attention TO the immense coal fields of An.
deIson, Campbell, Morgan and Hamilton, and
other counties in East Tennessee in the Cum.
berlsnd range. The wealth of those noun.
tain counties will amply repay the men who
will build the railroad, and do the other work
necessary to their full development.
Examine Prof. Safford's Report, and make
your own comment. Very respectfully,

CENTRAL AMERICAN AFfAIRs.-The New
York Herald says that FIVE hundred Amer.
leans leave the United States every week
for Central America. At this rate Walker
will soon have IN army sufficiently large to
maintain himself against all opposition, and
which may even enable him to make good
his claim to Mosquito. Judging from recent
intelligence from Central America, we NAV
expect soon to see the flag of Nicaragua
waving over Greytown, and then it remains
to be seen whether Great Britain will inter.
pose her arms for the protection of the NJ os.
quito King.
If Walker acts up to his declarations with
the same resolution which has hitherto char
acterized his course, the Central American
question will be brought in one way or
another to a speedy solution.
