As q rule the army inspectors
perform their duties to the best III.
terest OF the service and the public
at large. In examining into the
affairs Of the several posts which
comprise their circuits, and III con
sidering the usefulness Of those sta
tlons as means Of protection TO the
immediate locality, the officers, es-
pecially those in command Of the
posts, are generally conceded to be
the best authority on the subjects.
And indeed the general and preva-
lent rule is, t: at inspectors will on
al! occasions heed the opinions and
recommendations of those officers
which are founded upon experience
Of the locality, its requirements,
&c. No officer Of the u. S. army,
nor citizen Of Montana, is as well
qualified to illustrate the necessi-
ties of this section, or to represent
the position OF the troopsin relation
to the same, than is the Command
ant at Fort Benton. Neither can
any other company or subaltern
officers in this Territory show d
like amount of duty performed
within the same time as can those
stationed at this post for the last
three years, during which time the
depredations of Indians almost con
stantIy kept the little garrison on

the world. Settlements are spring
ing up in our midst, immigration il
tending this way, and hither will it
Wend its welcome course until every
acre has an occupant. TO facilitate
this flow Of population, to render
the settler secure from depreda-
tons such as have prevailed in our
vicinity, and such as will again be-
come the bane of settlements unless
proper protection is afforded, we
ask the interference Of the authori-
ties. Threatened on the north and
east, by Piegans, Assinaboins Yanc-
tonai, santee Sioux, and other hos
tile tribes, and infested on the
south by Grows, Gros Ventros, the
attendent dangers Of the farmer
can only be realized by experiences
Within a few years over thirty
murders have been committed by
Indians n this vicinity, and in the
same period one thousand head Of
horses have been stolen BY Indians
from whites IN this locality, So
that whether the hostility Of the
Indians has abated, or whether
they are friendly to the whites or
not, the consequence is the same to
the farmer III the absence Of suffi-
cient troops to check the depreda-
tions Of the savages. It may be
said We have a post in our vicinity.
We have post, but the little gar
rlson cannot perform miracles;they
prove themselves ubiqui-
tious. To show theinefectiveness of
the handful Of troops that is station
81 here, one instance may suf6~e.
4 few days ago word was brought
to this place thata party ofIndians
were on the Teton River, about
,hlrty miles up the valley from
Benton, that they were supposed
Q be Sioux, and that the farmers
\ the immediate vicinity were
alarmed for their safety and had to
ease work. The Commandant at
his post, though willing to ascer-
an the exact condition Of affairs
nd relieve the anxiety Of the
armers, was obliged to turn a deaf
ar TO the request that be would
end out some troops to disperse
he Indians, on account Of the limit
q number at his command. At the
eglnDing Of the Sioux raid this
eason the first attack was made IN
hIs vicinity. Fortunately a com
any Of cavalry had been stationed
y . short time on the Teton and

in his report. The question there
fore naturally occurs, upon what
grounds then did he make his re
port Of the situation Of this vicinity:
Col. Otis arrived here h1 coach OF
Saturday evening, and proceeded
to inspcct%the books and stores o1
the post, staff, and company, and
continued the inspection until Sun
day evening The troops were not
paraded, for the simple reason that
the four or five men who at pres
ent compose the garrison were un-
der orders to escort the inspector
to meet the steamer. On Monday
morning the Col. started for Cow
island, and by driving the baggage
wagon himself managed to reach
that point in fifty hours. Now, is
it possible that al Inspector Gener-
al could consclentioasly base a re-
port Of the situation Of this post in
regard to usefulness in protecting
this vicinity, il his lightning tour
