WASHINGTON, August 20.

WASHINGTON. August 20.
The attention OF the Commander in.
Chief OF the army has been occupied, for
lew days past, in organizing campaign
against the Western Indians. There is no
longer any doubt that we are on the eve
OF terrible Indian war, which will throw
the Florida war into the shade In,eli.
gence has heen received here from our
Indian agents in the West which confirms
this fact All the Indian tribes have formed
league for the purpose of waging war on
the frontier settlements Of the whites The
Indian leaders are cunning and crafty
They know that the regular United States
troops. which used 10 be stationed in the
forts along the border, have al been called
away; and they have got the impression
that most ct the men in the white settle
nents have all gone to the Southern war
am now endeavoring to ascertain what
numbsr Of warriors they c,n put in the
held. The number is considerable. The
warriors are all armed with rifles, and
every man is dead sho.. The recent
Indian atrocities in Minnesota are bu, the
beginning Of this Indian war. 1t will re.
quire large military force to repress it.
Justice to the families whose pataral pro.
tectors are here battling for the Union,
and it may be for the defense Of the CAPT
tai, requires that they should be efiectuaiy
protected, and General Halleck is deter.
mined that they shall he. There is great
risk, however, that the Indians will begin
their massacres before cur troops arrive.
The causes Of this Indian war are the
unwlse policy pursued towards the Indian
tribes by former Administrations par,icu-
larly that uf Mr.. Buchanan; the actual
injustice done the Indians in permitting
white men to en'er and settle on their
lands, in violation Of treaty stipula,ions
the outrageous frauds committed By some
OF the Indian agents. who have grown rich
from their speCulations out Of the Indian
funds; the sale o: liquor to the Indians,
which although forbidden by law, has of
Ia!e been extensively drne aud the with

No Draft Oh Sick and Feeble Men.

The New York Jou~aai Of Coma.srce
makes the following excellent remarks
upon this subject:
Persons who are resly in i'll health
who can not enlAre fatig it, who have u
decided constitutional tendency TO diseases
which would certainly be developed by the
lahore, exposures and pr'vA.ions of an
active campaign, need not hatass them
selves with fears of draft r.. United
States surgeon, whose business it viii ,
to examine them, would not tak- them if
they were ever so anxious to @. Uud~r
the voluute system, whea it was neces-
sary TO raise the largest number OF troops
IN the shortest time, the army surgeons
were Intentionally lax in their spections.
Rather than disappon, tho arden, recruit
and the officer whose ambition it was 10
have his squad or company in service at
the earliest moment, the surgeons would
generously overlook many cases Of dis.
ease, chrome or acute, or physical lmper.
fiction which totally disqualified man
from becoming n good soldier. Expert
ence has shown that weak, niirm soldier
IS no. only useless for fighting purposes,
ous IA tuc Scilst IfeeuGE OF uiScODteDt
and discouragem ent in the ranks. The
least active exertion, or nights exposure
on picket duty, brings him down TO bed
IN b shs hesp 10 ), whers segardns HIN il
nous burden to the service. If he is ep.
in the hospital, be will COS. twice as muc h
as a we'll man. If he IS discharged and
sent home, he will be an object of pity
and horror to his circle of friends. and
nerhaps frigh;sn a whole neghbo-hood
from eniis:ing. The rules for the iuspec.
ton of drafted men require - average
standard of physieal health a. an indis.
pensabIe condition Of acceptance.
1t must be borne in mind that the
Government has every imaginable motive
Tor r. ecting men who ara defective in sny
important respect. aud no motive whatever
for taA'ug such men. If ten men ont OF
hundrei are rejected by the surgeon, the
Government loses no men by that opera
ton, but simply orders another draft to be
made to supply the place of those who
were re- 'ectei The Government gets all
the men that it calls for, and, if the sur.
geon does his duty, gets nothing bu, able
bodied men. This is great advantage
10 the Government
Sick men. therefore, need not fear that
their maladies will not he appreciated by

FiRR,-Abou. 10 o'clock on last Satur
day night the large stable belonging to
the Pacific House, was struck by lightning
and set on fire. The flames almost in.
stantly burst out from all parts of the roof.
There was in the stable about IL head of
cows and calves. So rapid did the flames
progress, that seven horses, three cows
and three or four calves, were consumed
Two or three carriages and buggies and
eight or ten sets Of harnass, were burned.
The loss is serious one, bat nothing in

have been in ashes.--C B. Ragie.
