Indians to enforce their obediance at

We have no doubt that Howard was
deceived and lulled into confidence Of
security by the assurances of the agent
that Joseph and Whitebird would
surely keep their promises. But
as commander he should not have
trusted these assurances SO far
as to neglect preparation for the emer.
gency in case these willy chiefs should
exhibit bad faith. He certainly
never should have allowed Joseph and
Whitebird to hold that war council on
Camas Prairie without an effort tc pre-,
vent it. He should have needed the first
appeal Of the settlers who notified him
that the Indians were menacing the set.

duct to personal conflict of one or two

ards spell Of unbelief in the bad faith
Of the indians was broken he began to
retrieve the advantages he had lost, and
his energy has been great since in NOV
ing his troops. But his vision Of things
came too late to prevent protractN war
and the loss Of hundreds Of valNble
lives. He did we'll at Clearwater fkht
but blundered in failing to cut off Jo-
seph's retreat over the Lo Lo. There
should have been at that time no halt

of the Lo Lo pass. Since the 30th of
July Howard has made difficult and
rapid marches with his forces, but still
he has been little behind the places
where he was needed to do service in
destroying the enemy. That he has
been Jealous and energetic no man can
with reason doubt. But much of the
labor he and his command have per-
formed has been in a constant stern
chase which little more promptness
in the first place could have pre-
vented and with prospect gilmore effect

A. LELAND ESQ. SIR.-We
wish to correct a statement in THE TEL

losses sustained by the firm of Maulie L.
Haurcade of Shoshone Co., in the late
Indian raids. The TELLER places the
number of cattle at 200 head. The
loss was 232 head of COWS and steers,
besides some young calves which have

sides large number of chickens, upon
which the redoubtable Joseph and
Looking-Glass and their followers re-

answered and that is, after the battle of
the 18th and 18th Of July when How
ard claimed to have SO severely whipped
the Indians, what was he doing with
his forces between the 18th and 30th
period of Is days before he started in

CORRECT,

It is the height of absurdity for a

to be more absurd to cripple the army

policy OF letting Indians 90 W rerc they
