!. Spotted Tail and Red Cloud have bean
presenting their platform to the authorities
at Washington, and enforcing it with their
peculiar eloquenee. They say, in SUBJ
stance, that they do not want any more
railroads built ncross the country; that
they do not want any more soldiers sent
out to the plains; TINT they do not want
my more miners exploring the hills and
settling along the streams; that they do
not want to cultivate the soil themselves,
nor have it done by others that they do
not want to be hcmn1ed in by reservations,
nor compelled to live at peace with other
Indians. But they do want To be literally
fed, supplied with blankets, and to have
an unlimited stock Of powder, lead, and
rifles. The question raised by these de-
mands is conflict between civilization and
barbarism- MI. Red Cloud and his clan
can no longer practise their nomadic habits
without crossing tho pathway, and coming
in conflict with the pioneer settler, the
adventurous niners, and the railroads
of civilization. The buffalo departs as
the white man with his axe, his cabin,
his plow and his shovel advances. Game
becomes scarce, aud the Indian who depends
upon that for support is required to
travel over wider district, and his supply
is daily diminished. Shall the United States
close the Territories to the white man, stop
the construction of railroads, drive out the
miners, turn the country between the Mis-
souri River and the Rocky Mountains into
one Indian camp, and wait till the last SUI
vivor Of their deadly wars offers to sell out
the vast region he hns inherited2
The United States owe it to the Indians
themselves to stop the wars between the
several tribes. The peaceful and the
weaker tribes must be protected. The In
dians must be confined to reservations, and
must submit to the ine1orable encroach-
1aents of civilization upon the hitherto wide
range of savage ownership. II may be hard
for Spotted Tail and Red Cloud to submit,
but they must The world cannot postpone
its progress because they refuse to abandon

One Of the most extraordinary tragedies
which has taken place for many years. was dis
covered last evening at the village Of Denhan,
about two miles from UxbEidge. It seems that

in that village, the husband carrying on bus-

lived in the cottage his wife and three
children, wloso ages ian between

Contrary to prcconceived Impressions, l
found in General Beau1agafd very sociable,
agreeable gentloman; free to afford any and
ali information; and seemingly desirous to
claim nothing but falr eren-handed Justice In
the matter. The General claimB to have no
personal feeling in tie premises; deprecates
tho seeming effort to give tic contest poltl-
cal colo1ing; claims to represent solely tho IN
terest Of lis Btockholders, rs also Of certain
European bonahplde1a na well; and desires
simply to fight it out fairly and sQuarely in
the courts Of the land, which he expresses
himeeh ~ fully determined to do, as long as
be has plank upon winch to stand. He
is opposed, he says. on principle 10 all local
feuds and squabbles, and would much prafeI
to make up caso Of al points at issue, and
