THE INDIAN WAR.

The well founded reports of an ALI
ance of Indian tribes, comprising the
largest and most warlike in the country,
for the purpose of carrying the war into
the settlements, the Information of the
large quantities of arms and ammuni-
ton in their hands, and their intense
anxiety to procure more, added to the
recent massacres to which almost every
days kilograms add another, and the
fact that the troops are insufficient in
numbers to afford any protection, and
that months will elapse before any aid
can be expected from them, calls for ac-
ton, immediate and earnest, on the part
of the residents of Montana, especially
those occupying the more exposed por-
tions of the Territory. So far we have
heard of no depredations committed
against settlers, the savages confning
their warfare to picking off detachments
of soldiers and trains, these offering
them better opportunity of securing
arms and stock than an attack upon set
are fully aroused by the excitement of
carnage, and the presence of large bodies
of troops in their country, they will ma
turally evade a conflict with them and
endeavor to wresk vengeance upon iso-
lated miners and the exposed settle
ments. We know of none more liable
to attack than the inhabitants of the
Gallatin valley and the isolated body
of miners on the Yellowstone, The
region of country beyond them is the
familiar haunt of the Sioux and 9th
er hostile tribes, and the presence
of friendly Indians in that re-
gion offers no immunity from danger.
As soon as spring opens, or on the ap-
proach of their enemies, these small
rowing bands viii be likely to either
leave the country or join the alliance.
The fact that the Sioux have not been
above the Yellowstone canyon or in the
Gallatin valley for years, is no promise

attack along the entire distance. There
are in the Gallatin valley probably near
two thousand persons capable of bearing
arms, but scattered over an area of 400
or 500 square miles; many of them with
families and immense herds of stock to
protect AS they are now, it offers fine
field of operation to the Indians, and
we believe is in imminent danger. The
emergency calls on an organization for
mutual protection and defense. Let
there be places designated and prepared
where the families will be safe under a
a small guard plan decided upon for
the removal of stock to a secure place at
short notice. The services of some of
the friendly Indians, or, better still, some
of the half-breeds, be secured TO act as
scouts when it is deemed necessary.
The fighting men organize under chosen
leaders, and these different organizations
have thorough understanding and SYM
pathy, each man having definite instruc-
tions as to his particular duty in case of
attack. Measures of this kind or of sim
liar purport are not entailing loss of
time or an expenditure of money they
may save life and property. and can do
no harm. The suggestion is offered for
the consideration of the Galatians, as
we believe if attack is only possibility,
it is better to be prepared than to wait
until the destroyer comes, and have re-
peated in our valleys the horrid scenes
of Minnesota.

THE IrrPEACHmENT.

Various opinions are entertained in
regard to the decision of the Judiciary
Committee of the House of Represent
atives on the impeachment resolution
offered by Ashley of Ohio. So far the
evidence in hearing has been on the
side of the resolution, and it is not prob
able it will be closed for some days.
That the evidence in favor of the Presi-
dent will receive deliberate and impair
tial consideration from the committee,
we believe. Although composed almost
entirely of Radical members, their hon
esty and ability is beyond question.
Aware of the immense responsibility
attached TO their decision, the investi-
cation is being conducted with the cir
cumspection its importance demands,
and it is not improbable that the Thirty
ninth Session will expire before their
labors can have been fully completed,
and the subject be considered by Con-
gress This will devolve the duty upon
the succeeding one, the composition of

A HISTORY OF THE MoUNTAINs.-The
" History of the Settlement of the Rocky
Mountains" from the pens of H. n. Ma
guire and Neil Howie, will undoubtedly
be a success. These gentlemen, than
whom there are none more competent to
produce work of literary excellence
and reliable data, are actively engaged
in writing up the history and securing
the services of the best talent and infor-
nation the country possesses, to aid
them in the compilation of the work.
Colonel Cavanaugh has consented to
prepare the portion of the work devoted
to Colorado. We are not informed as to
the time of publication, but shall, as we
have no doubt all others interested in
the history of this region will, await its
appearance with anxiety. The ability
of the gentlemen who have charge of
the work is sufficient evidence of its sue.

more than all humanity is liable to be.
Whether right or wrong. it was at least

are induced to make these remarks by
an article in Helena paper. This arti-
Gle. in which there is neither wit, wis
dom or grammar, gives two quotations,
or what purports to be quotations, from
the "protest." To say that they are
garbled, would not fully convey an idea
of the process to which they have been
subjected. Portions of sentences have
been selected here and there. to suit the
purposes of the author, and the result
presented to the readers of that paper as
extracts from our article. Were it not
useless we might appeal to that innate
sense of justice, (of which every one is
charitably supposed to have portion }
of the writer to at least not make what

sion. Had the discussion been conducted

THAT POSTAGE LAw.-We have heard
great results attributed to faith. In
writing the protest" against the present
postage rates on papers, etc, we had the
fullest belief that if the matter was pre-
sented to Congress in due form, we
would have redress of grievances. The
paper in which it was issued was scarce
ly off the press when the Telegram ar
rived, stating that the Postal Commit
tee had decided to recommend the re-
peal of the present law. The recon-
mendation by the committee is almost
a guarantee of its passage. So mote ii

Fort LARAMIE. Dec. 81.

FORT LARAMIE, Dec. %.
The recent massacre of United States
troops by Indians did not occur near the
old Fort Kearney, Dakota Territory.
The fort is situated in the forks of the
two Piney creeks in the centre of the
mountain district of the Military De-
partment of the Platte, and in the heart
of the region occupied by the hostile
tribes, the Sioux and the Cheyennes
It's defense consisted of well made
stockade of timber, pierced with loop
holes for guns, the logs eighteen inches
in diameter.
1t is thought that the post was cap
tured by treachery, as the force there
should have been able to stand siege,
and it seems hardly possible that it
could have been captured by Indian as
sault
On the other hand, the savages have
so constantly manifested their hostility
that it is difficult to see how the troops
could have been beguiled into any re-
Taxation of vigilance. We hope to have
more particulars soon but there is no
reason to doubt the full extent of the ca
lamity, as reported yesterday.
The Indians are very troublesome,
and the troops at Fort Phil. Kearney
have been almost in a state of siege for
weeks past. On the 22d number of
Indians came near the post, and Brevet
Lieutenant Colonel w. j. Fetterman,
Captain j. II. Brown and Lieutenant
Grummond, all of the Eighteenth Infan-
try, gathered hastily eighty-nine men of
Company G, Second Cavalry and forty
five men of the Eighteenth Infantry, and
went after the Indians The troops were
gradually drawn on until at point four
miles from the fort, when they were sur
rounded and slaughtered. Not man
escaped to tell the story of disaster.
The bodies were stripped of every arti-
Gle of clothing, scalped and mutilated.
Thirty bodies were found in a space not
larger than a good sized room. Nearly
all the bodies were recovered and buried
in the fort.
Fort Phil. Kearney was not captured,
as would be inferred from the above. A
sufficient number of troops have been
sent from Laramie to insure it's safety.
