Indian Affairs on the Plains.
WASHINGTON, November 2l.-General
Sherman's report Of affairs in the Mill
tary District Of Missouri, has been re-
ceived at the War Department, together
with those of Generals Sheridan, Augur
and Perry. General Sherman details
the operations on the Plains. tic says
the people will continue to settle on the
frontier, and travel without precautions
as though all wa peaceful. Over all
such matters the military authorities
have no control, yet they are called
upon for protection, and subjected to
kicks aud cuffs for not acting with
sufficient promptness and yigor. Even
if the plans of the Peace Commissioners
were carried out, still there is a doubt
whether the Indians will make the nee.
essary personal efforts to succeed. He
fears they will at last fall back upon
our hands q mass of helpless paupers.
The only hope, however, to terminate
this endless Indian war, is to transfer
the entire business to the War Depart
ment.
