Gen. Custer Probably not Captured In
dian TrOubleS.

St. Louis, March 1S-Gen. McKeever,
Adjutant General of the Department OF
Missouri, telegraphs to the Headquarters
at this city news Of Gen Custer to March
2nd, sat which he started from Medicine
Bluffs, Wachita, mountains, to come
north. Gen. McKeever adds that no later
information could possibly have been re.
ceived at Fort Lyon, at which post the
report Of the capture Of Gen. Custer seems
TO have originated.
At officer from Fort Craig, New Mexi-
CO, just arrived here, heard nothing about
his capture until he reached the Smoky
Hill route. He reports that trouble had
occurred with some Pawnees at Ellsworth
Kan, some days since. Five of these In
dians who are friendly, went into Els
worth, when some roughs demanded their
surrender. Two Of them submitted, but
the other three refused and were shot aud
calped. The next day band of twenty
five Pawnees went into the town and de
manded that the murderers of their friends
should be given up or they would burn
the town. The troops were seat from
Fort Harker, but the Pawnees escaped.
Gen. Sibley sent some troops after a
band Of Pawnees who had been depredat-
ing. Seven were killed.
The same informant says that from six
to seven thousand Navajo Indians were
at Fort Wingate when he left New Mexi-
co, and constant difficulties were occur
ring between them and the half civilized
Pueblos.

Army CONSULTATIONS.

General Sherman has set himself ac-
lively to work, in the task Of consolidat-
ing and reducing the army. No better
persons could be selected for the business.
He possesses, in addition to his through
knowledge of the army and its needs, a
conviction that it can be reduced with
out endangering its efficiency, or carrying
it below the status requisite for the full
and proper preservation of the public
peace. His views are unquestionable
sound, for, besides that fundamental op-
positions, which must ever be entertained
in a Republic like ours, to large standing
armies in time of peace ; at the present
time, particularly, the necessity for econo-
my in the administration of every national
department would require a retrench-
ment, if at all possible, in army expenses.
The infantry regiments, now forty five in
number, arc to be reduced to twenty five,
by process Of consolidation, and all
supernumerary officers are to be ordered
TO their homes. No new enlistmeuts will
be made until the number Of men is re-
duced to the maximum number authorized
by law for twenty FIVE regiments; and
commanding officers of the Veteran Re
serve regiments are to grant honorable
discharges, on their application, to any
enlisted men of their regiments, who are
unfit for active service. Accompanying
these specifications in the order, are two
or three others bearing upon the same
points Of consolidation and reduction
The army will soon approximate its ante
Rebellion numbers.

General Sherman.

The character of the great soldier
whose name heads this article was never
presented to better advantage before the
world, than it is at the present time, by
his associations and his position at Wash
ington. Political CONFERENCE.-The plots
Of aspiring civilians to secure profitable
employment--the schemes Of ambitious
dcnIagogues struggling for power-and
the corrupt striving to secure the ear Of
authority, have no influence on Sherman,
and, indeed, he has actually removed him
self from contact herewith, and seems to-
be utterly and entirely isolated from polI-
Tics. And all this adds to the bfiiliancy
of the glory which now encircles the name
of the General Of the Army. He has nc
alliance with corrupt men. He seeks no
cancellations which will make bad meu
his friends-but towering the mercenary
crowds which howl in all the public places
at Washington, Genera! Sherman is known
only to the country aud the world rs tks
greatest military genius Of the times, 3
captain who has made the science of war
study by which ie is abs to suecor ir-
stead CT scourge mankind, There nGfef
was time when General Sherman shone
to greater advantage before the country
than he now does, and brighter name
no where illuminates the page of Ameri'
can history. The country will, sooner or
later, be highly benefited by the influence
of Sherman's example. It's worth is al
ready begiDning to tell on the morale of
the army, and as a puri6cation for Amerf-
can politics, we look to his presence at
Washington for great good. Our debt of
gratitude to Sherman can never be paid
