INDIAN SITUATION.

Viewing the situation calmly and dis
passionately, there appears to be cause
for. fear of a general Indian uprising,
and consequently serious trouble the
coming Summer. We draw our deduc-
tons from ~telegraphic reports from all
parts of the country inhabited by the
savages, including Oregon, Dakota,
Texas, Arizona and Nevada, and the
prospect Of q peaceful settlement of
difficulties engendered both by the weak
policy heretofore pursued at Washing
ton, and actual outrages committed by
our own white people, is far from being
satisfactory. On the 7th instant the post
of Fort Abraham Lincoln was attacked
by one thousand Sioux Indians, and,
after severe skirmishing along Beaver
Dam Creek, the assailants retreated. A
portion of the Modocs have surrendered
to General Davis's command, mostly
women and children, however; but the
redoubtable Captain Jack with twenty
warriors are still on the war-path. Old
Winnemucca, our Piute %chieftain, is
reported going north toward the lava
beds with some sixty warriors, and, at
an interview held with him, declared he
was ready to fight if necessary. Nearer
home, at Spruce Mountain, situate about
forty miles from Schell Creek, near the
railroad, trouble has occurred between
several drunken Indians and some whites,
in which the former are reported to have
been beaten, and in consequence threaten
trouble. One thousand Indians of the
Shoshone, Piute, Snake, Bannock and
Ute tribes are said to have held a council.
the result of which was an order for the
whites to leave the vicinity. The latter
trouble seems to have been premeditated,
as previous to its occurrence the Indians
borrowed all the firearms obtainable, and
refuse to return them. General Custar
sends a dispatch from Fort Randall, Da-
kota, that Vallese, a guide employed by
the Government, stated that two hundred
warriors and young men belonging to the
Yankton agency have left their reserva-
ton and joined the hostile bands on the
Missouri river, and that the In
dams will muster five thousand warriors
in the field this Summer. The fore
going, with other equally threatening
reports from Texas and Arizona, seem to
be more indicative of an Indian wal than
has been the case in many years. What
ever of news we receive at the present
time seems to be we'll authenticated, and
vouched for by men actually in the near
vicinity of the alleged troubles and whose
business is directly with the sayages. 1t
is not our desire to be called an alarmist
on the contrary, we are usually willing
to put down more than half the reports
of Indian troubles to interested or tim
orous parties; but re cannot shut our eyes
to the real state OF facts. 1t is earnestly
to be hoped that our Government may
adopt measures, and at once, to sup
press any aud all demonstrations On the
part Of our Indian dependencies, and not
wait until they have gathered in mum
bers sufficient to bring about a long and
bloody war.

ANTICIPATED ROUBL

General Sheridan has telegraphed the
War Department hat Colonel Mckenzie,
commanding q. S. troops in Texas, has
successfully repealed a raid made by
bands of Upon and Kickapoo Indians
on the Mexican border, and pursued
them across the line. 1t is understood
at the Department that the engagement
occurred on Mexican soil, in which our
troops were successful. The act was
brought about by repeated and persistent
efforts On the part of Mexicans, joined
with Indians in that vicinity, and the
general impression is that our Govern
ment will sustain the action of the officer
in command. Should the Mexican au-
thorities demand explanation or redress,
it is to be hoped the Administration will
sustain the. dignity of our Republic, and
fully protect the interests of the exposed
settlers in Texas. 1t of course would be
better to settle matters amicably, if pos
sible, but only in such a as to
deter the rowing bands of guerrillas from
further attempts at robbery and plumber.
We have read for months of raids, muir
ders and pillaging ON the part of these
marauders, and hope the ~initiatory act
of Colonel Mckenzie may be the means
of putting a stop to outrages once and
forever. 1t is certainly the duty of the
Government to protect its citizens, and
if it cannot be done by friendly negotia-
then let General Grant order his
soldiers to +" fight it out on that line, if
it takes all Summer"

DEFAULTING CREDIroRs.-In the Dem
yer Ne,os we notice a "black list of its
creditors, who failed to come up with
the necessary collateral to settle defci-
encies due that paper. Even the town
Of Cheyenne repudiates a debt of forty
eight dollars. Such an act Of mi
on the part of a town cooperation deserves
censure from all Journals.

come before it be rooted and cause it to

ties it was sufficient to destroy old cattle
feed by drenching the starch or glutinous

SWIMMING IN GREAT SALT LAKE.

There are no fish in the great Salt Lake.
The only living thing beneath its waters
is worm, about quarter OF an inch long
This worm shows up beautifully beneath a
microscope When a storm arises the
worms are driven ashore by the thousands,
and devoured by black gulls. We found
pure stream pouring into the lake. 1t
was filed with little chubs and sinners
The fish became frightened, and were drlv-
en- down the brook into the briny lake
The instant they touched its waters they
came to the surface belly upward, and died
without gasp. The water is remarkable

like corks. Mr. Rood and myself stripped
and went in swimming. [ dove INTO the

from under me. A person who could not
swim might be easily drowned in five feet

as the water of Seneca lake; so clear that
the bottom can be seen at the depth OF
twenty feet. When We reached shore and
crawled out upon the sand in the sun our
bodies were quickly coated with salt
We were compelled to 90 to the little stream
from which we had driven the chubs and
sinners and wash off in fresh water before
we put on our clothes. Our hair was filled
with grains of salt which could NOT be wash

is improved by leaving the salt upon their

lent death. Charles NJ. McCook, the
youngest was killed at the battle of Bull
Run; Bridadier Gen. Robert L. McCook

sse, while sick in his ambulance; Major

iel McCook was killed at the battle of Kan

of the war, was assassinated at Yankton
