GES. llANCCCK's TESTIMONY BEFORE
THE INDIAN CoNMtssIoN.- The following
contains some of the interesting points in
Major Gen lIancock.s testimony before
the Commission at Lcavcnwurlh upon the
present Indian difficulties In reply to
question by Gen. Sherman, Gen ii. said
All the Indians of the Plains consider
hostile 30 not know that the Canaan.
chcs are actually -. although three of
them have been killed while committing
dcpredationsi some bands Of the Caman>
ches have capiives for whom they demand
ransom, which we have refused to give;
VIC have deman led them Internationally;
in this war, the Kiowas, though hostile,
have no immediate grievance, at least they
have represented none. The General says
he has seen no time when 1t was absolutely
safe for people to cross the Plains. lie
AYERS that the Indians are more hostile
this year than formerly, and says lac has
never known any period when the war
WAS SO general, AID conducted with so
much spirit and malignity. II our troops
should be Withdrawn from the Indian
country, no white man would ever 90
through. 1t would amount TO an aban-
dunment of the Territory. 1t is believed
that not a man would remain in Colorado.
The General is of opinion that the In
dians would not cease to be hostile if the
troops were withdrawn They would
then claim that they had gained what
they had started out for, to cut off those
roads. There would be peace until the
roads were started again They gave us
notice that they intended to commence
war in the Spring. Gen. Hancock has
their statement, which was sent to the
commanders of posts, saying that these
posts must be abandoned in the Spring,
and that the Pacific Railroad must stop
at Junction City, rs they intend To fight.

Il impossible TO control the young men.
The chiefs and principal men are DESTROYS
of peace. except under some great griev-
anre. The young men leave their village:
and commit depredations on some pre-
tense, There is no question but that the
old hunters receive the stolen horses from
the young men.
Gen. Hancock in reply to question
whether he supposed it possible that the
Indian Agents. such as Wynkoop and
Leavenworth, can be trusted with the dis
erection of issuing goods to any part o.
these people, said II do not know about
Wynkoop | think the trouble with agents
is that they are all, probably connected
with trading interests, and think that sucl

A First-CIass Academy.

When and where shall we see it in
Addition County-an Academy literally
planned and endowed, with permanent
teachers, giving assurance that from year
to year, our young men and women shall
find in it every advantage for thorough
education! Such academies are now the
foremost educational want Of our Stately
ard our cwn county needs such an ond
even more than almost any other.
Shall il be in New Haven! For w{
hear that such an enterprise has been orr
gained there and is in promising way.
No town in this part of the State has
better advantages for such an enterprise
lis situation is eminc1 fly hcalthiul and
beautiful; the Institution would be in the
bosom of retired and rural community,
and yet Of easy access by our railroad
and within sight of its cupola, on that
broad-brcastcd hill where it should stand,
is wealth enough to enlow 1t, i'll hands
that know the true uses of money too
well, we believe, to refuse it for a cause
SO noble II New Haven shall now die
Germ its opportunity, and show the liberal
views and public spirit to organize lis pro,
posed school on a broad basis and with an
adequate endowment, it will room crown
itself with rare success and win the
honor of great usefulness.
Bot let us learn something at last from
the many disastrous failures in this line.
If the school they propose shall be only
one more of the s'inlcd and beggarIy sort,
on which many Of our so called academies
are got up, scantly sustaining single
teacher, and that perhaps only part q
the year, and changing hands at least
arnually-they will only add another to
the many sore disappointments over which
we already grievc. There are more than
enough such now. What is needed, from
first to last, and all the way between, in
an enterprise of this kind, is such an en-
duwment AS will enable them TO command
the services of f.@t rate, 'rcH paul, per-
mdacM Pr1acpdL In the long run tie
mGn in Il is to mn,c 'dHd be tic Institutions
His known worth aud success rs. a teach
er must be the attraction, year after year,
on which success depends. And he must
have competent assistants AS the growth
of the school shall demand.
We are told that such an academy is
contemplated by our New Haven friends
We give them our heartiest wishes and
hoppe for a complete success. They de-
serve well of all true friends of education
by even proposing to themselves the
scheme of such an academy But our
eyes are hungry TO sec it accomplished.
And they may be assured, if they will
only give US molcl academy, literally
planned and thoroughly done, it will win
ample Attendance from far and near.
We sincerely hope that this plan will
ripcn into model academy, which shall
be the pride and blessing of Addison
County, and of the whole region. Nc
town among us is better able TO do it.
Mainly their reliance must be on them
selves; but we believe there are, here
and there in our country, able and liberal
sons of New Haven who will generously
come to their aid.
