HUNGRY ~cHEyENHEs.

Washington, Nov. "A prominent off,
Ger of the army received to-day a letter from
a brevet major general in the west, of which
the following is an extract:
I enclose you a slip from this morning,
paper, and a dispatch has just reached m,
from General Crook which confirms thu
statement, that the Cheyennes assign star
walton as their reason for leaving the agency
l am clearly Of the opinion that somebody
ought to be hung. If the Indians state.
ments are not true, their leaders ought to be
hung up at once. If they are true, then
some agent or other official Of the Indian
bureau should meet with that fate. 1 feel
very sure, also, that an investigation would
not hang the indians When will these
outrages on the American name cease
How can the American people condemn a
poor savage for doing what, under similar
circumstances, they would themselves glory
in? Every time these %outrages are exposed,
thousands Of people express their disgust
and shame, but do nothing. Who can I
write to to urge putting a stop to a state of
things, which not only outrages the Ameri-
can name, but humanity? Who has inau-
ence' enough, and independence enough, to
show up this business in a way that will
compel public attention and a remedy? 1t
makes an officer of the army, while obeyipg
orders, feel like a murderer.
