From the Indian Country,

Maj. I. {. lIanshaw, just In from the Indian
territory aud en- route east, states that
throughout the Indian territory all is quiet
and peaceable Among the betterclass ofths
Indians Cherokees Choctaws, Creeks, Chick
asaws and seminoles-th appears to be a
feeling gaining ground In favor of opening
the country to white settlers at an early day
after the selection of lands has been made by
Indians themselves. There is hswcver a
strong feeling against any encroachment on
thu part of outside white population until this
matter Is settled. He seems to regard it as a
question Of time when this policy will be
adopted. and that time not far distant Mr.
H. has spent some ten years among the In
dians of the plains and In the so-calcd Indian
territory, aud expresses himself In favor of
what Is called Boudnot's new departure
policy" believing, however, that while it
may benefit the Indians temporarily, the land
will not be improved BY them, and that white
men will within very few years control the
entire country which he regards as the gar
den spot of the continent.
be says among the tribes the question OF
selling off all the surplus land in the territory
and making the fund general one Is fast
gaining ground, and will eventually prevail
as the Indians believe 1t will enrich them

OZARK, Ark, Dec 81, 1871.

Mr.. EDITOR
Dear Sir: An election Was holden in Ozark
an the inst, for two school directors for the
Ozark school. which resulted in the election
of W. A. Carter and T.. l.. Witch.
The killing of II. C. Collins created consid-
cradle excitement at this place at the time
but the examination of Thomas Hammond
one OF the parties accused, has gone far to-
wards alaying it. The evidence produced by
the State alone, showing that the party was
only guilty of manslaughter, If that.
The sympathy of the people, which was al
first with the deceased and his family, has. on
account of the malicious and vindictiye FEEL
ing exhibited by the father Of the deeeasea'
and his attempt to make political capitaioi IL.
and threats Of martial law, etc. completely
changed the current of public feeling.
Our County is perfectly quiet. The people
are peacsatle, and law-abiding, and ready ut
any moment to assist the ministerial officers
in the enforcement of the law. and the appre-
bepsion of law breakers. No community can
iustlv boast Of more Industrious honest
peaceable population than ours. And when
malignant. lying Radicals attempt to stir up
strife, make capital out ofpersonal difficulties
and entail upon an innocent people the bur-
dens and horrors of Arkansas MALTA, he
righteously deserves the scorn and contempt
all good citizens.
/ have written this simply to disabuse the
public mind Of those errors which they would
naturally absorb and, probably. believe, from
the multitude of false rumors arising out OF
thi. unfortunate atIair-and which knoc in :
tere,ted parties are trying to fan into blaze
which, If they should succeed. would result In
ruin to hundreds of innocent people.
| Yours truly. JUSTICE.

THE OUTLOOK.
From parties interested in this rail
road enterprise we learn that all claims
on the road are to be paid at once. 1t Is
estimated that S240, 600 will cover them,
which amount viii be furnished by Bos-

the track is to be laid ut once to Clarks

days. The remainder Of the work from
that point is to be pushed forward, ant
it is expected the road will be completed
to Fort Smith by August lst, 1872.

the "old rebel democracy" have untold

EDITOR PRESS -
There is only one thing that can defeat the
proposed territorial organization OF the In
dian country this session, and that Is the op-
position of the Railroad interests; If the bill
Is not sweeping enough in it's provisions to
suit those interests the railroads will fight it,.
Boudinot's scheme, as set forth In his late
speech at Vinita. Is considered by good
many too favorable to the Indians and not lfb-
eral enough to settlers; some say l6O acres of
picked land for every man, woman and child
is more than is necessary. and that 50 acres is
sufficient; they say that Boudinot's plan
would tie up several millions of the most val
liable lands in the territory for twenty years,
and retard the settlement progress and de-
velopment of the country.
Again, it is declared by those interested in
the railroads, which are building through the
Indian country, that Boudinot's policy makes
no provision for aid to the railroads and there
tore is defective in that particular.
From all that | can learn have no idea
that any bill Will pass on as favorable basis
for the Indians as Boudinot has advocated in
his speech but that Indians will have to be-
