West for the past year says, In getting peace
with the Indians he intends to do aWay en-
tirely with treaties, which system is always
attended with fraud upon the Government
and Indians. His plan is based simply upon
an understanding that the Indians behave
themselves and do not modest the whites,
and that the whites shall be made to deal
fairly with the Indians and not modest them in
any way. The military authorities undertake

says late Richmond papers show great anxi-

His being at Atlanta on the 7th, with Hood
far in his rear they regard as showing that
he has no fear for Hoods movement, but is
prepared to carry out new plan upon a gi-

perpetrated great blunder in sending Hood

The tin clad gunboat Rather was recently
surrendered to the rebels by her commander
at some poilt below here. My information is
rather indefinite, but it is said that the COM
mander had so disposed of his men in the boat
as to prevent resistance to her delivery. A
small boat approached her on the night she
was to be delivered, but the subordinate on
board had his suspicious aroused and fired a
revolver at the rebels and frightened them
away pl4lta9 s9G siasra il 800
The affair was subsequently investigated,
when it was discovered that the commander OF
the gunboat had already received 100000,
and other payments were to be made in cot
ton. The commander was arrested, but made
his escape, declaring that he would command
the privateer and give the Yankees hell. The
rebels intended to use the Rather in capturing
the gunboat Gen. Bragg. ssH .oe
