OUR INDIAN POLICY.

Much has been said and written respecting
the real characteristics and capacities of Indians
for civilization. So far as have observed, all
races, of whatever nation, have their distinctive
peculiarities, and none more so, perhaps, than
the North American Indians. In the early
days Of the settlement Of the Western Cont.
nent, it was thought as unnatural and difficult
to tame and domesticate the Indian, as it was
the pheasant, and that they would certainly
dwinde and perish under tho restraints Of civil
ization. Much of the early observation Of our
ancestors justified this conclusion. The march
Of time, however, with. generation after genera.
ton bringing them more and more into prox-
unity with the whites, till assimilation has at
last so far taken place, that none doubt but by
wise and good management, in great majority
Of cases, the Indians can be brought into habits
Of civilization and fair culture, with little deri.
ment to their physical natures.
As to the natural talent or capacity OF the
Indians to improve in the arts and sciences, l
pronounce it good, aud well worthy ofencourage.
ment. The principal hindrance heretofore has
arisen from long established customs and habits,
which all know become kind of second nature,
not easy to change. But all is now changed
with the poor Indian without his consent. His
hunting ground is gone, and he is lost to the
use of the bow aud arrow he sees an unftness
and the inapplicability Of his past usages to his
present surroundings, and already he longs for
the civilization and comforts of the white man.
1t will be observed that my experience is
mainly with the natives of the Pacific coast,
among whom | have resided for twenty five
years; but take it tor granted that Indians
everywhere, under like circumstances, as much
resemble each other in character as complex
ion. There, so far as the experiment has been
anything like fairly made to civilize and do
mesticate the Indians, it has we'll justified the
undertaking, both to old and young, male and
! female. Indeed, the improvements, in some

For tho Repuhlican.

An officer who has had much experience in
mastering and organizing volunteers, suggests
that an inspector general should attend to the
inquiry the wants of such troops.
Especial attention should be given to their
arms end ammunition, as volunteers often
neglect to 6ll their cartridge.boxes, as they
should do before coming to this city.
The same officer should ascertain what pro.
visions are needed, for quarters, commssary
stores, and other necessary conveniences and
such inspector should direct how and where
these things can be obtained. This may re.
quire more inspectors, but certainly the com.
fort and efficiency of the troops would be much
improved by efficient staff officers employed on

instances, have been most astonishing, not
alone with individuals, but whole tribes.
This must be source of comfort aud happi.
ness to the mind of every Christian and philan.
thropist who believes the fact that in proportion
to the real Ignorance Of human beings, so are
the approaches to the brute condition, and, pice
rersd, as k owledge increases rs a general rule,
delicacy and refinement follow in its train.
But to facts; see Hon. William Medill's (Com.
missioner Of Indian A ffairs) report of ls45, on
Oregon relations:
"The advancement made in civilization BY
the numerous tribes of Indians in that remote
and hitherto neglected portion Of our territory,
with so few advantages, is q matter Of surprise.
Indeed, the red men oftbat region would almost
seem to be Of q different order from those with
whom we have been in more familiar intercourse.
A few years since, the face of a white man was
almost unknown to them now, through the
benevolent policy Of the various Christian
churches, aud the indefatigable exertions Of the
missionaries in their employ, they have pre-.
scribed and well adapted rules for their gov.
ernnent, which are observed and respected to
degree worthy Of the most intelligent whites.
Numerous schools have grown up in their
midst, at which their children are acquiring the
most important and useful information. They
have already advanced to degree of cviliza-
ton that promises the most beneficial results
to them aud their brethren on this side the
mountains, with whom they may, aud no doubt
will, at some future period, be brought into in.
tercourse. They are turning their attention to
agricultural pursuits, and, with but few Of tho
necessary utensils in their Possession, already
produce sufficient in some places to meet their
every want.
"Among some Of the tribes, hunting has been
almost entirely abandoned, many individuals
looking wholly to the soil for support"
More facts tomorrow, quite as encouraging.

by the national forces, we hope that the gener.

their sole business to put down iusurgent black
men, but that they will also pay little atten'
ton to putting down insurgent whites. If the
