Abstract of Gen. Ord. oaioial Report.

General Ord, commanding the military Di-
vision of Texas, has submitted his annual
report to General Sherman. He sends with
the report a letter from Judge Paschal re-
lating to an alleged attack upon a certain
Lipan amp which had remained for over n
year in the vicinity of Santa Rosa, a Mexican
town under the protection of townspeOple
brought by indians from Texas Attention
is called to the relations between the Indians
towns, particularly San Carlos. The Apaches
are usually at war with the people of both
countries. They have, however. friendly
and receive supplies of arms, am unitiOn,
etc, for stolen mules. This is una, btedly
los, who also have amicabIe relations
with the Comarches. who make San
Carlos a depot of arms in their annual excur-
sions into Mexico. 1t seems also that Chi
huahua, not receiving the protection it was
entitled to from the Central Government of
Mexico, made an independent treaty with
the Comanches, the practical result of which
was to aid and abct the Indians. An extract
rey. the Capital of New Leon, and the head
quart rs of the military commander of the
shows" says General Ord, "that the Indians
we have so continually complained of are Il
terror to the country. They have always
lived in an immense unexplored and rugged
region contiguous to the United States. They
are natural robbers and murderers. and the
Mexican Government Notwithstanding that
three or four of its northern states were so
long exposed to and raided upon by them, did
not or could not send any relief until now
The article also shows that the Indians have

Mexico, rs has been reported by me before.
General Trevino has said in his OFFICIAL Ga
zette that campaign against these raidlng
Indians will have to be made and stop Unit
ed States troops crossing after raiders. As Il
matter OF course, the order for the United
states troops to cross only in pursuit of them
will no longer be operative when there are
no raiders to pursue" The immense extent
of country raided over by the Indians can
only be understood by n study of Mexican
archives and reports. We have good deal
of the same sort of country, and the small
command which General Ord has available
only gives him about one soldier to every l20
square miles of il. Therefore it will he II
great satisfaction if the campaign of General
Trevino ia successful and the United

necessity of hunting AlvH.seS who

Physicians in China.

The Chinese, having learned by expe-
rience that, in connection with diseases
of the eye and all kinds of surgical OPP
erations, their own doctors are perfect
ignoramuses, place themselves without
much reluctance in the hands of foreign
physicians to have their sight restored,
leg cut III. or tumor removed. But
in fever cases and most other forms of
disease, the majority of the people put
far more confidence in the native doc
tor than in the well instructed foreigner
who can bring to his aid'so many of the
inventions and discoveries of modern
science. With a lack ofjudgment thor
oughly childish they frequently make
use of the remedies prescribed by ma
tive practitioner and of those obtained
from foreign physician at one and the
same time, and finding, as they natural
ly would by such process of doctoring,
that the medicine of neither effects a
cure, they denounce both physicians as
quacks. Some patients have been stu
pid enough TO swallow down, at one
draught, a gill or more of medicine
which they had been directed by their
physician TO take in doses of teaspoon
full at a time. When expostulated with,
in cases where they have survived to be
expostulated with, they proffered the
sage reply that they wished to save
time, and supposed that if they took
down the whole supply at once their re-
covery would be so much the more rap
id. These peculiaritics in regard to
medicine-taking on the part of his Chi
nese patients are very annoying to a for
cign physician, and make him averse to
prescribing for those whom he can not
have in his hospital or under his imme
date supervision.
