Sr.Tus OF INDIAN MosEs--We arr

STATES OF INDIAN MosEs--We are
credibly informed that Chief Moses, On
the question of going upon a reservation
is defiant, and says tia: neither himself
nor his people viii 60 upon reservation,
that he would prefer TO 30 TO PRISON,
that he and his people can support them
selves where they are, hy hunting, FISH
ing and raising what grain and vegetables
they need, that they want to be let atone,
that they have no objections to the whites
settling around them and among them,
upon such lands as they do not use and
that they vii, be friends with them. But
if the attempt is made to put them upon
reservation, they viii fight to the bitter
end. Moses is represented to possess
about Sl5, 900 in ready money, and many
horses and some other property OF value:
That he and his people are well armed
with good guns and considerable anu
milton, having been accumulatln9 botn
guns and ammunition from traders north
Of the British line, and some Irom traders
tlIs side during the winter. Moses hiih-
self bein" able to both read anu WRIT,
has gathered full intelligence OF the careeI
Of Joseph and his present treatment bJ
the government, and through Moses al!
the other Indians are fully apprised oi
what is made public through the news
paper press, and 50 far as We can gather
from those who are conversant with Other
tribes including many OF the Nez Perces
now upon the reservation, they are watch,
ing with deep interest the condition and
purposes Of Moses, and if he goes upon
the war path they will become his ailles,
in which event much blood will be shed
and much property destroyed before quiet
will again be restored. A military com,
pany post is 20 be built in the vicinity oi
the four lakes, where the movements oi
Moses can be closely observed, and which
will give much confidence to the settlers
in that vicinity If Congress would to,
day abolish the reservation system and
authorize Indians homesteading lands up
on tie reservation III severaity, It would
do more than all else to insure lasting
peace upon our frontier.-Tetter.

BooSrING JOHNNY BULL.-A Berlin
correspondent says that the Germans and
Russians are in the habit Of calling Great
Britain "a factory and seaport by way
of contempt. 1t may be remembered
that Napoleon was in the habit Of referring
to the British as - a nation Of shop
keepers" Ii is recorded i'll history, how
ever, that this nation OF shop-keepers sub
sequently went into the business Of keep
ing private boarding house at st. Helena.
The Russo-German taunt that Great
Britain is nothing but afactory and a sea
port, may ultimately become as sad and
solemn as Napoleon's little joke did.
When Napoleon was on his way to
Charleroi, shortly before Waterloo, he re-
marked to Soult that he would destroy
Wellington first and then turn his face to-
ward Dresden Soult looked solemn and
did not reply.
What are You brooding over + in
quired Napoleon, impatientty.
g was thinking of Spain and the Py-
renees, sire, replied Soult
"Well, well, retorted the Emperor,
II could not be everywhere
True, sire,' said Soult. But the
English can You do not know them as
well as | do"
1t is probable that the inflated courts OF
Berlin and St. Petersburg may know the
English better this time next YEAR tl.an
they do now.
