The Situation North.

VIM Ewing, Esq, county commissioner
of Nez Pcrce county, who has resided in
this country since 1850 and for the five
Years last past at Pilouse Bridge, was in
town this week. His knowledge of the
country and knowledge OF the Indians,
and long association with both whites and
Indians here have given TO him opportun-
tiles To Stndy the relations that have ex-
isted between whites and Indians, and
Learn the grievances of each. From him
We gather much worthy of publication.
He says there is no hostility generally
among the Indians of the Coeur de Alenes,
SpokaIcS or any of the tribes north, and
no general feeling in favor Of going to var.
Some few restlesss spirits Ar. among ell
these tribes who might be induced and
provoked into hostilities by bad treatment.
He says that during all the hostile demon
strations of Joseph, Whitebird and their
bands, nearly all these northern Indians
have taken particular pains to try and
convince the people that they did not SYM
pathlzc with tic hOstiles. Bat MANY OF
the citizens themselves have been timid
ald dis!rustful and have not recinrocated
the good faith which these Indians have
shown towards the whites, and that has
rendered the Indians suspicious.
He says that many Of thes. Indians are
utterly opposed to being restricted upon
reservations, and especially to be under
the authority of Indian Agents. The
C9ur de Aienes are content with the
land they occupy and deem it ample for
them, but they want no annuities and no
Indian Agent Moses wants no Indian
Agent, Spokane Geary would accept of
annulties, but wants no agent. Ewing
says thar all the difficulty with the Nez
Perces has been caused by the bad faith
OF the Indian Agents towards them. These
facts he has gathered from the Indians
themselves, Joseph among the number,
with whom he has been long acquainted.
Ewing does not think thai Watkins at
tempt 10 treat in council will amount To
much, the Indians viii not be there in
such numbers rs to give character to any
treaty or agreement that may be made
with the Indians. He thinks it was bad
poiiey for Watkins to take force of
troops along with him when gong to
effect treaty with them, that the Indians
think the fcrce is employed to compel
them to treat, and that is why they re-
main away from the council, SO as not TO
be committed by anything done there.
Ewing does not think there VIII be hos
tiiitv among the Indians north unless
there Is an attempt TO force the Indians
TO so upon a reservation distastefui TO
them. The Coeur de- Alenes are the best
armed or all the bands north. There are
but few armed among the others and but
little ammunition, and there are no Suns
apparent OF any preparation amcng them
to go upon the war path.-TeEsr.
