years ago he predicted that the next President

this prophecy short time ago attracted the

reminded General Sherman Of it, Upon
General Sherman replied he had no doubt it

Push them to the wall and clean them out.
IF You can't do it, turn the command over to
some younger officer.
It was in answer to this that Gen.
Howard made reply about being misun-
derstood :; "that he never tagged that
neither Sherman nor Mcdowell could
doubt his pluck and energy" The
army men here say that many things
are excused in telegraph CORES ondence
which would not be pnrnatted by let
ter. For instance, this curt report of
Howard to his superior officers would
not have been allowed under other cir
cumstances. During his hunt over
the plains for place of safety Howard
has several times gone out Of his de-
par;ment. So long as he remains in
side the lines, he can hold his official
head on his shoulders, for the sigma
ture Of the President is required to the
appointment ofa department comman-

Sherman cannot remove one. In
case, however, Howard got outside the
limits, Sherman could at once appoint
Gen. Crook or Gen. Terry to lead the
forces, and Howard would have to step
aside. After this waruing. Howard

The Nucleus Gone.

Last week we gave some omens Of
future evils to be suffered from hostile
Indians. Our predictions were based
upon the then latest intelligence from
the hostile Nez Perces, which placed
them near the British line AID near
Sitting Bull and his band, and left
them in full fighting force. The late
news OF Miles fight and subsequent
surrender of Joseph and his baud
causes us to breath much more freely
and feel far less solitude for the peace
and quiet of this section of country.
All the Indians upon this side have
from the first been watching with in
tense interest the success of Joseph and
his band, and had they succeeded in
making their escape into the British
Possessions and beyond the reach Of
our troops, the effect would have been
to embolden other bands. who have
been posing in the balance between
open hostility and submission to the
domination Of the whites, to take up
arms and seek to make similar raids
through the country, and especially 10
case any portion of Joseph's band had
returned to relate their adventures and
success. And further, the chances
were, that the inducements Joseph
would have held out to Sitting Bulls
band and other hostiles near him. would
have been sufficient to induce large re -,
Inducements from other bands to ac.
company Joseph on his return to the
west side Of the mountains. As matters
now are with the nucleus of the hos.
tile Nez Perces vanquished and taken
prisoners, none of the Sioux or other
eastern tribes will come this way of
their own accord, while the remaining
tribes here will be very reluctant 10
