army there and sn route will not be without
its advantages. The truth is, not soldier or
implement of war, probably, has oeen 1or-
warded which was not needed In some part OF
that extensive region. The Indians In Oregon,
Washington, Utah, and Nebraska, like all |
others of their race, require constant watching |
to prevent them from committing depredations |
on passing trains or frontier settlements. The |
presence of tn force will acquaint them more
fully with the power of our Government, and
Its ability to avenge the murder of its citizens
even at remote distances in the wilds of the in
terror, and thus, appealing both to their eau
ton and respect, will no doubt render them
more tractable.
Then, again, the permanent location of por-
tions of the force in Utah and the Platte dis
trict will render the Government more COM
petent to defend emigrants and settlers from
Indian outrages, and, also, by promptly pun
ishing every instance of this character which
may transpire, to effectually intimidate these
tribes from moesting our citizens.
The unfortunate defeat which is reported to
have overtaken Col eteptoe recently in Ore
