About a thousand Indians, it is thought,

where they can wage effective hostilities
against the small force of troops with

such an event. As the striker has his
regular period, and the tramp takes to
the pleasant country roads when the
fruit begins to ripen, SO the Indian pre-
pares for a little war gheH the grass
grows; and as We cannot control that
domestic Indian Of our cities and towns
The tramp-il is ret strange that We
cannot control that savage traFp Of the
plAins-the Indian. Certainly this will
not be otherwise, to any satisfactory ex
tent, until Indians between the MiSsis-
sippi aad the Pacific are IS scarce as
they are between the Mississippi and the
Atlantic. The news from the MEXICAN
frontier has an aspect wen more threat
eniug than that from the Indian conn
try, but there is reason to believe that
further accounts Of the events chron-
.icled may present them in q somewhat
different light.
