END consists in gradually introducing among
the Indians the habits and occupations Of
CIVILIZED life, by inducing them TO work for
; ;nsir own support. BY encouraging prlde of
educating the young generation; and no effort
should be spared to bring to bear upon them
properly more influence in that direction.
Socn Efforts should not be sneered at as mere
senumental tancies, nor should they be dis
couraged by the assertion that SUCCESS is i'm
possible. The advance made BY some of the
Indian tribes is sufficient proof that similar
advance may be made by others. Whatever
may be accom- plished by the employment of
torce 1t ls certain that only as the Indians
progress IN the way of civilization will they
cease to be a troublesome and disturbing
element.

Mr.. Editor-It is doubtless always
gratifying to an editor Of a newspaper
to learn whether what he publishes in
his newspaper is editying and gratifying
to his readers. We are pleased to be
able TO say to you, without any design
to fatter, that we have heard your pa
per spoken of as giving great satistac
ton, and especially i'll publishing in
some of your late numbers the reports
of the character of testimony which has
been given before the investigating
committee of tie extortion and injustice
done our people by the B. Il 0. Rail
road in lis discriminating freight char
ges.
1t has been asserted lately that this
company contemplates modifying It's
rates. This means, we presume, the
lowering of charges from Martins5urg
and other points, where competition
comes in TO compel it, as was done
about the 2nd of this month, from the
above and other points to Baltimore,
but not to Washington city, or other
points which could not be reached by
some other competing route at less
price than it is charging
These pretences are merely to de-
ceive, and designed to allay, if possible,
the storm of just Indignation which has
been aroused throughout our State
against this company on account OF its
destructive policy to our material pros
perity.
The great wealth of our State is in
our mineral, timber, and grand water
power, which to be utilized must be af-
torded just aud reasonable transporting
facilities. This was no doubt contem
plated by those who granted this com
pany the privileges it claims; not sup
posing that if experience demonstrated,
that by reducing its charges it could i'll
crease its earnings by the increase of
trade which it would induce, or that
upon the other hand it would develop
that baser principle of ingratitude by
extending liberal terms to others and
thereby crush u.s.
We were an early ard ardent admirer
of the enterprising spirit of this compa-
ny, but We find it endowed with one of
the baser passions ct humanity which
is, as it grows opulent, it fOrgets those
who were its friends in its days of pow
erty and weakness. 1t now undertakes,
and does take from us in the way of
onerous charges, that it may be enabled
to give to others. Is this right? Is it
just! Ought it to be tolerated by a
people capable of understanding and re-
strctlng it?
A CITIZEN.
