THR INDIAN WAR.-The Indian
war is daily assuming more formid-
able proportions. General Terry
has been compelled to fall back 80
miles from his position on the Big
Horn. General Crook through be-
ing terribly harassed b. the Sioux,
has been able to make but six miles
q day with his command, while
marching to form a junction with
General Terry, which he fortunately
did on the I'd of August. although
in a destitute and disheartened con-
dition. A steamer carrying three
companies of United States troops
and supplies for Terry's command,
was fred upon, bnt 20 miles from
Buford, and the troops invited out
to fight. which. they politely de-
clined even though they were in
easy reach Of support. Altogether,
the Indians are showing more than
ordinary skill and daring in the
present war, and if prompt meas
ures are not immediately taken, the
result will be, that emboldened by
success, the wild tribes of the plains
will take up the hatchet, from the
Apaches of the South, to the Sioux

COUNTY ROADS. roads lead
ing out leading into the country are
at present in most deplorable con-
dition. Having occasion to pass
over the river road the other day,
we found the corduroy portion of
that road perfectly innocent of COW
ering and in many places SO irregu-
larly planked as to endanger the
limbs of both man and horse. Re-
turning by the old ridge road, we
found it impossible for vehicles of
any description, and hardly passible
for one in the saddle. That the
growth in population Of the country
around city, in great measure de-
pends upon its facility of ingress
and egress to a market, no one will
deny. Hence, it follows that imme-
diate attention should be given to
these highways that the farmers
may be encouraged to make more
frequent calls and q more intimate
acquaintance with our merchants.

THE RIGHT Policy AT LAST. AT
a conference held yesterday by the
Secretary of War, General Sherman
and the Indian Commissioners, it
was agreed that the sale or gift to
Indians, friendly or unfriendly, of
arms or munitions of war, shall here
after be visited by severe penalties.
The policy. by the United States, of
warming the serpent to its bosom is
seen at last to be fallacious, and the
suicidal policy of giving weapons Of
war to natural and implacable enc
my is at last abandoned. So much
has the nation gained by the death
of the gallant Custer, and the mode
of treating the Indian by all past ad-
ministrations is at length abolished.
