The INDIAN PROBLEM. The United States
Peace Commissioners do not seem to De as
successful in their negotiations with the
Northern Indians as they have been with the
Indians of the South. Their visit to Fort
Laramie was unsuccessful The chiefs did
not come in, and, with the exception of a
lew Crows, there were no deputatons ready
to receive them. At Cheyenne they were
not any more successful; but they will wait
there for time, under the hope that dele.
cations from some OF the tribes may appear.
Under any circumstances, they cannot hope
to be able to make general treaty before
next spring and it is suggested that they
will endeavor to procure IA conference at
Fort Phil. Kearney on the LIST Of June next.
This is not to be regretted, nasmuch as the
Northern Indians are not peaceful, and they
give considerable trouble to emigrants and
to the railroad people.

Before the last election in Virginia, 40
colored men were sent from Lynchburg to
Manassas to work on the railroad with the
distinct understanding that they should be
sent bnck in time to cast their ballots; but
when they reached their destination, they
were cody told that they would not be al.

write to their friends, through the post Office.
,heir letters were refused or Withheld, and
when they sought the telegraph line, their
dispatches were rejected. Finally, when
they applied for transportation, according to
promise, their request was rudely declined.

DEATH oFFrTz GREENE HALLEcK.-Another
of the distinguished American writer's of the
early part Of this century has left the scenes
of his labors and his fame. Fitz Greene
Halleck died on Tuesday evening, Novem-
Der 49, at his residence, near Gnilford, Con.
necticut, in the I'D year of his age. He
was born in Guiford, on July 8, 1895, being
descended on his mothers side from John
Eliot, the "Apostle of the Indians.''-
Throughout his life until his retirement from
business, IN lS49, Halleck was, like Roscoe
and Rogers, engaged i'll commercial and
financial pursuits, merely employing his
mind in literary composition as relaxation
from the wearisome engagements Of trade.
