GEN. SHERMAN AAD THE INDIAN VAR
Lieut-Gen Sherman will not fulfill his re-
cent intention of going to Europe, on account
of the Indian troubles This hc explains in a
letter to the citizens of NcwYork, who have
offered him a public reception i'll view OF
his departure. With his usual practical sense,
the General concludes to remain in his Depart
ment, where it is momently feared that the
Indians may combine and do infinite mis-
"chef," and where our commanders are
daily called upon for protection at a hund-
"red places hundreds of miles from
/" each other" Daily kilograms inform us
that the savages are executing wrath far and
wide and letters and dispatches bear complaint
that our troops, as at present posted, are even
more inefficient than inadequate to protect the
lines of travel in the territories. For
all that the army does to prevent him, the
Indian is a safe maraudcr and there is no
prospect, we fear, that his evil strategy and
tactics will not continue to be keen thOms in
the sides of his puTsucrs. Perhaps we should
say his OppressOrs, since it is understood
that the Indian taxes our time, temper, and
means, just in proportion as we vagabondizc
him by q swindling misgovcmment. AS often
as our contractors and agents sell him, he
makes the nation pay for it, till every
emigrant in his neighbOrhOod is made to feel
that he is the most reckless and remOrscless of
ax-gatheTers. The Government agents and
the army cannot bleed the Indian quite 80
badly as upon bitter provOcation, he is able
and willing to bleed u.s. He is wild enemy,
with all the wilderness in league with him,
and he is q master of the science of ambush
While our territorial armies five thousand
strong, are weakly portioned out to guard dis
tant points on the line of emigration
the Indian has crept up between them, and
burned and wasted settlements by the
dozen. The value of the guard duty per
formed by Gen. Augur or Gen. Hancock
does not as yet appear great as compared to
the amount of ravage so easily committed by
the red men, who are still far from doing us
all the harm that is possible Have we not
heard it calculated that it costs us one
hundred United States soldiers, at price Of
S1OQOOO to get rid of single lndianl
Rejecting that the agency frauds have rem
dered it harder to conquer savages than
to reform them, this funeral rate does not
appear implausible; but suppose we pay after
this fashion the entire bill for an outright
Indian war, lasting a couple Of years
Mr.. McCullOch may have to complain
that the national debt cannot be
reduced meanwhile, and our people
have once more occasion to reflect that the
painted savages, though they appeal to us with
horrible indec6fdm, have rights WHICH it
will pay their unpainted brethren to
respect. The way Of the national
transgrossor is hard. as this chronic
Indian fever sttests; and VIC must take hint

MR.. PHJLLTPSS RECORD.

Mr.. Wendell Phillips lauds "thc Platform
as the foremost instrumentalily in promoting
the intellectual, moral and political education
of our People. 1t is unquestionably great
power, mainly through the aid of the Press
Mr.. Phillips has exertcd wide influence, not
merely over the thousands who listen
TO his harangues, but over the hund-
reds of thousands who read their sub
stance as reported in the journals. How
wisely, humanely, consistently, that influence
has been excrted; will be better understood
when his recent fulminations respecting the
baiing of Jefferson Davis are cOntrasted with
the following from his earlier yet still recent
orations In his speech at the meeting of the
American nti-Slavery Society held at Cooper
Institute May 10, 1865, Mr.. Phillips said:
"Thc idea of jury mpanneed to try Jefferson Davis as

paRTJES- OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

P4RTIES-SECTS-J S-JOURNALS-ORG1N
Little great men raised to important stations
find organs convenient and Their uttennces
soothing and satisfactory; but that Is all. In
the long run, the organs are more likely to MIS-
lead them or TO prejudice their policy than to
render them any substantial service. In our
Judgment. an administration which should re-
solve at the outset to have nothing like an
organ. and steInly adhere to that resolve,
would improve its chances of abiding success
And il is much the same with great party.
The ability of a journal to help it depends
on It's preserving n substantial independence
When the public comes to know that a Jour
nalist will always do and say just what ms
party is prepared to approve-that he Is mere
seryitor of party" not Mr. Buchanan, but
"platform his support is taken as matter
of course, and carries with IL no moral weight
"The OK knowcth his MASTER" is the popular
comment on his most fcryid and Jealous COM
mcndations of his partys principles, measures
OF candidates.
So, substantially, with n religious journals
denominational procliviics. BE II Prcsby tciian,
Congregational, Baptist, Methodist, Roman Cath
oic, Unitarian, or whatever, every one knows
beforehand about what its editor will think
and say on any topic OF occurrence alccung
his chuIcl's prosperity, policy, or good name.
Knowing that he will " deem this side always
fright and that stark naught' you take his
advocacy or his Teprobaton purely as q matter
of course. He could help it far more by being
its independent monitor than by such absolute
subscryicncy.
THE Independent Gn spite of its namo) was
started as in some sense an organ OF the Con-
gregational ORTHODOXY Church. il had, for
time four clcrgymcn of that order as It's Joint
editors. When they left, it found "onc of the
"same sort" sufficient torepace them all When
he retired layman succeeded, who Is still It's
editor. 1t gradually became free, unseciaian
religious journal, insisting on conformity
TO the Divine Law in all things, but attaching
less and less importance to the peculiar tenets
and ordinances OF the sect OF which It's editor
and publisher are still members, until at length
il felt even the imputation of scctaIian icalty
a fetter, and deliberately rcpcllcd it. Hence
FORTH THE independent is not distnctiyoly Con-
gregationa but Commcnds whatsoever things
care pure wherever it may chance to find
them.
Hence the Congrcgationalsts, at their late
Convention, rcpudiated The Independent as an
organ and resolved TO establish one TO take
the place il has vacated. This is right all
round, save that we do nit believe an organ
desirable, otherwise than as a convenience
aforesaid The independent can do the Congcga-
tonalists more good as an outsider than as an
organ, and will be far more acceptable sheet
to the great body of the reading public swhile
an organ can be started and run on tithc OF
the capital, intellectual and pecuniary, that is
needed to sustain such a journal as The hdc-

eral is candid in saying that being pressed
from every quarter, the Indians have become
"neryous, excited, and in some cases positively
hostile" There is no anger III his statement,
from which we infer that he, too, is convinced
that the wards of the Government" have been
maltreated, and that we owe 1T to them and to
ourselves to prevent further war and to accom-
plisb Justice to them, rather than divert men and
money TO avenge ourselves for the sake OF
few scalps.
The war on the Platte has fully opened,
however, il we may believe the last telegram
There is general panic along this route,
and the Indians, we are told, laugh at
the infantry sent to protect the lail-
road workmen. Wholesale rObbelies and burn
ings. and other such baleful signs occur III the
report and sinister impression is conveyed
by the statement that the Indians line the bluiis
on both sides of the Platte, whereon Spotted
Tail is encamped, his ponies in splendid con-
edition." and his young men on the war-path'
though he processes peace. Moreover the
Territory of Montana is aroused by ru-
mors of massacre, and Gen. Meagher Is
rallying volunteer force, with the incentives
of revenge and booty. To credit all the stores
we hear from the Territories, and especially
those 20 the prejudice of the Indians
would he merely rash, remembering what
merccnary and panic-stricken influences have
50 often ruled our border TO its disgrace. We are
not yet able to judge what provocatIon the citi-
zens of Montana have received, for the teleglams
do not inform u.s. but we are fearful that the
"palc face" will be again to blame for first
outraging his red brother, and then seeking
hot revenge for an imaginary wrong. lhefe
NAV have been mischief on both sides, but
surely nothing has occurred that will excuse
the apparent thirst of the people Of Montana
to repeat the bloody misdeed of Col. Chivington.

We print to-day the full reports of Cen
Pope and of Col Shepherd concerning the riot
in Mobile. Gen. Pope declares that the Rebel
Mayor took no steps to prevent disturbance
which everybody expected, and that the
Chief of Police was either in sympathy
with the rioters or unfit for his Office. He
removed them for "criminal misconduct" and
emphatically afiims that another riot will not
occur while their successors hold Office. Col.
Shepherd, who was present at the meeting,
says that Judge Kelley's speech was dignifcd
and patriotic, and fully acquits him of pro-
vOking disturbance.

The Emperor of Russia left his capital for
Paris on Wednesday, and was soon to be joined
by King William of Prussia, who will be accom-
panied, it is said, by Count Bismarck. That the
crowned heads of Europe should receive from
Napoleon, and should accept. an invitatiCn to
visit the Exhibition, is natural but chat 30
many of them should visit Paris &c tho same

REINON ra. PASSION.

We have met or received letters from many
Southern Radicals within the last fortnight,
not one of whom expressed even doubt that
the liberation of jefferson Davis has immensely
contributed to the acceptance and triumph of
Republican principles mt the South. So long
as the chief of the defunct Confederacy was
in prison, awaiting trial as felOn, every ex-
Rebel felt that any approach toward the Re-
pubcans on his part was virtual betrayal
of his late leader. Pride and Honor alike
pleaded with him against any concession to
Northern ideas and requirements. 1t is differ
ent now.
The 81. Louis Democrat was long the only
Republican journal of note published in the
Slave States. Hardly another i'll all fifteen of
those States worked zealously for Fremont
and Dayton in 1856 1t has ever been in the
front rank of Radicalism--for Emancipation,
and for the most efficient and energetic prose-
cution of the War for the Union We ask,
therefore, candid consideration of its leader
