A Great Indian war Probable,

That Sitting Bull is making active prep
arations for war in the spring is now con-
ceded by all who know the character of
that redoubtable savage and his influence
over the Indians of the northwest. His
retreat into British territory was mastery
movement on a reliable base of supplies
and where his warriors could rest and pre-
pare for active hOstilities against the
United States under the protection of a
neutral flag. His ability to reft is proved
by the facts that have recently come to
our knowledge regarding the condition Of
his forces and the ample supplies Of
ammunition and stores which he has been
able to accumulate. The negotiations
pending with the Blackfeet and other
tribes under British protection indicate the
desire of Sitting Bull to take the field with
as large force as possible, for bis recent
campaign has demonstrated that our
troops, although brave and devoted, are
not more than able to fight. man for man
with the hardy, well mounted and superior
ly armed Indian warriors. The crafty
Indian knows, perhaps better than the
war department, the military value Of the
forces that can be arrayed against him, and
hopes to oyerwhelm them by vastly
superior numbers before any reinforce.
ments can reach the seat of war We
have, therefore, to calculate on the basis
of Sitting Bull possessing ample means of
offence, when considering those of defence,
for we must fight defensive war,
TIE communication from the Yellow
stone which we print this morning is one
that will not increase the confidence of the
nation in its ability to defeat the schemes
of Sitting Bull and punish him for his in
vasion of our territory. His abandonment
of the United States, with the avowed
intention of remaining an irreconcilable
enemy of the government and people; his
rejection of all the overtures of the peace
commissioners sent to Fort Walsh to treat
with him; his unconcealed preparation for
war and the enlistment of Indian allies
beyond the border. all these facts take in
large measure from the sympathy that
may linger in the public mind for
the illtreated Indian of the northwest and
place heavy responsibility on the shout
ders of those whose actions have created
the present threatening situation. But we
must not wait now for discussion as to the
causes of the danger that is so imminent.
The northwestern country is about to be in
vaded and ravaged, and the people slaugh-
tered, with all the attendant atrocities OF
savage warfare. Our correspondent de-
scribes the condition and number of the
national forces available when drafted from
the isolated frontier posts. These aggregate
about one thousand combatants, after
deductions FOR every necessary purpose.
With this little army it is indeed difficult
to predict the result, especially when we
consider that the Indians are, as our cor

England and Russia.

OF late there has been large amount Of
speculation, and occasionally an item of
real information in regard to the prob,
abilities Of war between England and
Russia.
At the present time, and after very
considerable efforts to bring the leading
powers of Europe to join in congress for
the discussion and settlement of the grave
complications growing out of Russia's
success in her war with Turkey. the gener-
al sentiment of the official organs Of Europe
would indicate their belief that such q
congress is not likely to be convened.
Germany has given up, it is said, the idea
of issuing invitations to the several powers
to meet at Berlin. as was contemplated
some two weeks or so ago. The opinion of
Germany as to the probabilities Of a
collision between England and Russia, are
apparently Foreshadowed by the North
German Gazette. which observes that war
need not be regarded as inevitable. Of
course, no war, not already commenced, is
to be regarded as absolutely inevitable.
because at any time before actual field
engagements between hostile armies there
is the possibility Of diplomatic adjust
ment. But when a stage of affairs has
been reached, such that the official, or
semi-otheial, organs of a great and power
tul government like that of Prussia puts
the question in the merely negative form
that war may possibly not ensue, there is
no longer doubt that affairs wear an IN
pleasantly serious aspect, and that the
chances for the maintenance Of peace are
daily becoming less.

What Next2

Despite the opening attack of Senator
Howe upon the Presidents policy, and the
understanding that it is but the opening
gun of continued assault, the presiden
tial equanimity is apparently wholly undis-
turbed. The telegraph reports that a
number of Senators and members of the
House called upon the President after
Howe's philippe and urged him to make a
public response of some kind in his own
defense, lest it being passed in silence might
be deemed an admission of the truth of
Howe's charges. The President is re-
ported as not disposed to take such a
course but to wait the verdict OF the
nation IN his favor. He quotes several
instances in which his predecessors have
been attacked with bitterness by members
OF their own party in manner similar to
himself, but which 10 the end resulted in
giving them strength with the people rather
than iDfilcting upon them any loss of party
fayor. The President maintains that he is
still good republican and entitled to the
recognition Of good party standing. and
that he Is now as ever strongly DESTROYS for
inc success OF the republican party. He
holds' however, to the opinion that the
success OF the party can only be assured

speaker which deserves repetition. A
certain paper in Toledo had assailed
the new party with Misrepresentation
and abuse. Around amongst the
Nationals passed the word ''cut it. :"
The day after $50 subscriptions were

if to the highest bidder. \ little of
