GEN. SHERMAN ON THE INDIAN QUEs-
TIoN.-Sherman in letter dated l1th
ult., expresses in strong language his
objections to the present policy con-
trolling Indians matters. The letter is
too long for it's reproductions to-day;
we can only give an extract:
think the army officers are better
qualified to Judge than the average of
citizens, though am by no means anx-
ious that this disagreeable duty should
be imposed on us. If the Christian
agents can better control the wild saw
ages, 1 wish them them all success, but
surely the white people who venture
into the wilderness to labor and toll are
entitled to the protection of their lives
and property, and it is natural that they
should feel the greatest interest, al
though it is the exclusive privilede of
Congress to devise the best means to
secure this end.
Many good people residing east of
the Alleghanies mistake the character
of the emigrant population who have
of late years brought millions of acres
under cultivation and produced fifty or
sixty millions of dollars of gold and
silver, where twenty years ago, white
man dared not venture. These people
are of the same kind as settled Ohio,
Indiana, and Iowa; they are as good as
we are, and were we in their stead We
woald act just as they do. I know it,
because l have been one of them.
They now pay their full share Of taxes.
and contribute to our national wealth
and power. As rule, the emigrants
do object that the Indians should for
ever remain non-producers, beggars and
robbers, if not worse.

The New York "HERALD" ON THE
STUAr1oN.-The New York Herald, in
its issue of the Goth ult., III unmeasured
terms condemns the policy pursued by
the Government in the management of
the Indians. 1t says: "We have al
ready pointed out the fact that both
the peace policy of the Administration
and the older system Of gathering the
Indians on reservations had failed"

sent one of its most enterprising and
celebrated artists to the seat of the Mo-
doc war. Late dispatches announce
his arrival. The public will await with
anxiety his representations of the lava
beds aud scenes connected with the
events there. Last Fall this Modoc
trouble was subject of interest only
to a small circle. From cloud not
bigger than mans hand it has come
to overshadow the world astonishing
result, caused by q few desperate In
dians and the criminal folly as Gov
ernment that knew better, applauded by
a crowd of consummate and sentimen-

THE MODOC STRONGHOLD.

The Modoc correspondent of the Sac
ramento Record, who writes as if he
were an allay of the savages, thus de-
sciibes the lava bed stronghold:
The strength of their stronghold, both
natural and artificial, passes the belief
of those who have never seen it. Col.
Riddle, brave and experienced officer,
says he could defend the place success
fully with fifty men against one thous-
and with no shelling. This was all
that dislodged the Indians.
From one point shell was seen to
fall into a hole and explode, driving
them out like swan of bees. One
MOdoc came staggering out and with q
yell of impotent rage fired his rifle di-
rectly in the air and then fell over.
Several amusing incidents are related of
their effect by the soldiers, who form
the main defences.
Had the troops attempted to carry
the place by storm they would have
lost $50 men and then been driven back
across the main plateau.
The Modocs had built gallery which
commanded the approaches from all
sides. From this they could sweep the
top of the ground where their caves
were for five hundred yards around, and
the soldiers after carrying the crags
still had this bare sweep to pass before
they reached the caves--a feat there
was not men enough there to accom-
plish. The gallery was composed of
heavy loose rocks built in parallel walls
breast high and about ten feet apart,
and thirty to forty rods in it's serpentine
length. At the distance of a few yards
cross walls were built it's entire length,
effectually protecting it against raking
fire. The Indians displayed remarka-
BILE skill in engineering their defensive
works, eliciting admiration from the
ablest officers, who pronounce them
unsurpassed for skill, strength and eff
cheney, and that nothing short of she'll
ing, thirst or hunger could ever have
dislodged the Modocs from them.
On the night of the 10th, while a lull
in the firing along the lines occurred,
one of the Modocs called out: "Why
don't you boys get home? How long
are you going to stay here? Don't
you want to eat! What for you no get
your supper?' And lot more of
such questions. The soldiers who kept
behind cover, politely informed their
interlocutors that they had come to
spend the Summer with them, and
should not return until they went with
them.
We have now ocular demonstrations
of truth of your correspondents tele-
grams that Jack was playing for time.
When we last visited the lava bed not
sign of fortifying was visible, but
during the subsequent long delay he
was busy rendering the place impres-
nable, gathering provisions, ammuni-
ton and arms.

THE CAPTURE OF THE "DEERHOUND."-
A corvette, under British colours, appeared
to be cruising off Biarritz, about FIVE miles
at sea. A merchant steamer, flying Span
ish colours, also came in sight. Presently
a boat left the corvette and spoke the steam
er, which Immediately hauled down the
Spanish flag and hoisted the British ensign.
The corvette in her turn lowered the Brl-
fish colours and hoisted Spanish. The
Spanish corvette then took in tow the En-
gliSh ship, which is said to have been load
ed with contraband of war, and set sail for
the Spanish coast. Colonies Stuart, Ira
vers, and crew (mostly Englishmen) are
detained prisoners on board the vessel at
San Sebastian. An exchange ofdiplomatlc
notes between the Spanish Cabinet and the
English and French Governments is antici-
pated-on the part Of England because the
Spanish war corvette unduIy assumed En-
glish colours, which did not belong to her;
on the part of France because the capture
of the English steamer took place within
the Jurisdiction of French Ibid.

Death Of Lutte A. Taylor.

The press brings to US the sad intel
liyence of the death of Lutte A. Tay-

Tuesday. Mr.. Taylor was widely
known as graceful, pleasant writer,
happiest in the field OF literature. He
was one of the ablest men in the state,
genial, courteous. AMI full Of excel
Iencc Until the announcement of his
decease. no note of warning had been
received by the press of his unt'mely
departure. We copy brief obituary
| from the Sentinel
| The sudden death Of Lutte A Tay-
lor, which sad and unlookcd-for event
took place yesterday morning at his
home in La Crosse. take from the edi-
torial profession of the State one of its
brightest ornaments, one Of its most
respected and best-belovea members.
No public announcement Of his illness
had been made until the cruel fash of
the telegraph shocked his friends with
the unwelcome news of his death
OF his life and history we have not
now time to write. He was best and
chiefly known to the people of Wis
consin as fluent and agreeable writer,
and as genial and companionable gen
tleman, whose ready wit and pleasant
hlmor made him the center Of every
circle that he entered and the friend Of
every man he met. A poet by nature
and sympathy, although he never wrote
verses; philosopher who always look
ed upon the bright side of human nature;
a humorist whose sarcasm was never
directed against his friends, and man
of real genius without egotism, death
has fallen upon him like an untimely
frost. but be has left no enemies behind
him.
We lay the cypress on his vacant chair,
Aut turn to our own work with silent prayer.
That each may be faithful. true and good,
As he whose absence mars our brotherhood"

denounced the execution at Santieo as

Resignation of Judge Miller.

Judge A. G. Miller of the U. S.
District Court has resigned his official
position an Office he has held for
thirty-fve years. He was appointed
by Pres't VanBuren in 1888. As the
Judge is alive and we'll, it wont be con-
sidered out Of place to tell what we
think Of him. If he had resigned his
position thirty-tour years and eleven
months ago, the ermine of the Bench
would have preserved its purity and
the Goddess of Liberty would have
had less occasion TO use her old red
bandanna. We have no respect for
Judge Miller, and never had. He
was lickspittle for women whippers
and men stealers, and cradle robbers,
when such things were popular. A
rank austere old aristocrat whose tyr
amy was never tempered with mercy,
and if we could hear echoes from the
other world, they would be echoes of a
great jubilee among the once oppressed,
over the getting out Of the way of the
enemy of liberty, and the friend Of OPP
preston. A pension of So, 500 per
annum is his for life. Cheap enough.
1t is intimated that every thing was
not exactly as it should have been in
certain bankrupt cases brought before
the honorable judge, all of which help
ed along his resignation. We wont
believe these rumors for how could so
sound Reformer and so honorable(D
man as Judge Miller have done any
thing that would allow even the faint
of suspicion to attach to his judicial
office. No. the ghosts Of Credit Mo-
bilier and Back pay, alone. were
enough to chase the blush of shame for
dishonest men, from the face Of the
venerable dispenser Of justice, and
bring the pallid look, begotten of fear,
for the interest of men and the nation.
When Andrew G. Miller and Willard
Fillmore .'go hence wont there be,
with old Judge fancy liberty inspir-
ing trio?

Orders have been issued to the Union
