Ed. townsend. Assistant Adjatant General

GIN. HANCOCK AND The lSDIASs.-Gen.
Hancock, in his examination before the In
dian Commissioners at Leayenworth, Kan-
sas, stated that after twenty-three years Of
service on the western frontier, he had
never known any time when the war on the
part of the Indians was so general and con-
Quoted with so much spirit and malignity as
this year. If the troops should be withdrawn
from the Indian country, the General gave
it as his opinion that no white man would
be able to pass through it. The grand aim
OF the Indians is to cut of emigration
through their country, and We cannot have
peace on the plains so long as the Indians
occupy ard hunt over the section Of country
which is crossed by the great thorOughfares
OF travel from the East. The Indians are in
earnest about their fighting, for they feel
that their future position depends upon their
present action. They hope to be able to
shut of emigration from the East by their
hostllities, and with this object in view they
are wagIng their warfare with more relent-
less cruelty than ever.
On the other hand, Gen. BufGrd-speak,

Bcauyais, commissioners, who were sent out
