The number of convicts ia the State Pris-

last year. Eighty-three were received and
twenty-six have been discharged, or pardoned,
or have died. The administration of the Pris-
on has been successful, paying its way and
leaving balance of $288,57. The annual report
recommends enlargement of the prison, extern
sive repairs and the appointment ola perman-
ent chaplain. Two are in the prison under
sentence of death. One of these has been in
confinement twenty-three years, another
twelve, and another eleven. The profits of car

The Indian Question.

The Springfield Republican, referring to the
recent Indian outrages, uses the following
language an
But two alternatives are possible with refer
ence to the Indians. They must be- extermi-
mated, or they must locate upon some assign
cd territory and remain there. 1t is impos-
sible to tolerate them longer Is rowing tribes,
always repulsive and often hostile to the white
settlers. The great lines of communication
with the Pacific states must be kept open and
rendered safe, and this cannot be done while
the Indians 60 at large Absolute extermins-
ton by powder and ball is of course not to be
thought of though surely less barbarous than
the present policy, as it is administered The
other alternative is to assign fixed territory
to the Indians and compel them to remove to it
and occupy it. This will require considerable
military force at first, and = permanent one
the Indians within its limits; but it is the
cheapest and best arrangement to be made.
If theIndans are not wholly incapable of civil
ization, as many believe, they will there
be accessible to the influences of education
and Christianity, which have at least done
something towards elevating the Cherokees
and Choctaws in the present territory; and if
civilization hastens the extinction Of these
tribes, it cannot be helped 1t is the best we
can do for them. They have the opportunity
to be naturalized and become citizens Of the
United States, and our treatment Of them
should have reference to this and promote
it. 1t is not likely that any considerable p0r-
ton of them will ever become citizens, or that
the Indian element is to be permanent in
our cosmopolition population. But this
should not be our fault, but the inevitable re-
suit OF the incapacity OF the Indian for civiliz-
alton. If the alb original American has fulfilled
his destiny, and must retire from the scene,
let him. He must not be allowed to obstruct
the peaceful development and population Of
the country any longer, 6

AocpENT-N. A. Foster ESQ.,, proprietor of
the Press, met with an accident on Friday last,
which had nearly proved fatal. He was driv-
ing, in the town Of Hollis, down . steep hill,
and behind him was double horse sled, on
which was a high load of some kind of bulky
merchandise. Midway of the hill the pole of
the sled broke, and the horses took fright and
ran, throwing their driver from his seat Mr..
Foster seeing the danger, put his own horse
to his speed, and plunging down the hill turn
ed sharp corner into the gateway of farm
yard, the entrance to which he thought too
narrow to allow the double team to pass. He
was mistaken, however. The frightened ami
mails, obeying the instinct which makes terri
fed horse seek to follow another horse, pushed
after him, passed tho gate, and plunged direct
ly upon him before he could extricate himself
from the sleigh. But for the fact of the brok-
en- pole OF the sled happening at the last mo-
ment to strike some obstruction, Mr.. F. must
have been buried under the wreck of the load
ed team. As it was he was knocked down by
the struggling horses, and remained insensible
for some time, but received no serious injury.
