WRONGS OF THE INDIAN. - Maj. Owens
writes concerning the condition of the Snake
Indians as follows:
They are still hanging around and commit
ting depredations on the stock of settlers and
others. They are objects of charity. | visit
ed them and found them in novels made of
boughs of pine trees no indication of comfort
to be seen half naked and half starved chill
dren shivering in the snow. The report, of
their condition that daily reached me, found
too true. Poor, miserable, starving, naked
wretches. Language is inadequate to describe
their suffering and truly destitute condition.
The citizens have appealed to me and petit
toned me as the only officer of the government
near, to make some provision for them. l am
issuing them flour and beef in small quantities.
| have procured tents for them. In fact,
could no longer resist the appeal after visiting
them, and with my own eyes beholding their
condition. do really think that with kind
treatment and prudent expenditure of few
thousand dollars every year, that those Indi-
ans could be drawn from their predatory habits
to settle down quietly in the Salmon river
country, and Taught aud induced to cultivate
the soil.
These Indians, twelve years ago, were the
avowed friends of the white man. | have
employed their young men as hunters, horse
guards and guides. have traversed the length
and breadth of their entire domain passed
large bands of stock through the heart Of their
country unmolested. Their present hostile at
titude, in great measure, can be attributed
to the act of unprincipled white men passing
through their country. Murders have been
committed, horses stolen, their women violated,
and In fact outrages have been committed by
these demons incarnate that the heart shudders
to record. These are incontrovertable facts.
do not wish to shield these Indians from the
punishment they SO justly deserve; still. there
are palliating circumstances that sheer justice
demands should be made public. The picture
is dark, clothed in the most extenuated garb.
will use my utmast endeavors, while out in
seaach of the four captive children, to find out
the leaders in the late daring and bloody trag-
edy.

PARsoN BRowNLow ON SOUTH CAROLINA
Inc Knoxville (Tenn.) Wing, of March I'd
says:
South Carolina has drawn more money from
the national treasury than any other State in
the Union, according to her population. She
has had more of the offices, civil and military,
than any other State of equal white popula-
ton. She has bad larger representation in
Congress than any other State of no greater
white population. And she has paid less into
the national treasury than any other State of
equal population, consuming less of foreign
Importations. She has been tax upon the
General Government, and to get rid of her and
her burthens is a God send Let her go; and
God in bis mercy forbid that she should ever
return.
