The Transfer of the Indian Bureau to
the War DenRrtmemt.

WASHINGTON. June 2.-The proposed transfer
of the indian Bureau to the War Department,
as embodied by the House In the army appro-
pratiOn bill is looked upon by we'll informed
persons as tending to the only practical sOlu
ton of our troubles with the Red Skins of the
forest II Ia TO be regretted, therefore, that the
action Of the Senate with reference to this posi-
tion Of the army appropriation bill, will pr0ba-
hlv be- unfavOrabie, because of the point of
order being raised that this Ia new legislation,
and hence not germane to an appropriation
bill.
This measure which has the sanction Of the
House Committee on Indian Affairs, will. thare
fore. most likelY fail this session. but In that
can he no doubt that all the complications with
fce of 30 much life and money. can be traced
directlyto the policy pursued by the lnnian
Bureau. The poor savages had no local hahita-
ton Of which they were sure from one year TO
the other Their remonsHranCes against re-
mOval from one hunting ground to another, the
last being generally less favorable to their
mode of subsistence than the previous one,
counted for naught against the demands
of the advancing tide of settlers, and the treat les
made were violated rough-shod until the in
atinct of self preservation led the sHvaGes to the
bloody Pxcasses which have marked the history
Of our Western country for these many years
The war with the MohOcs with Sitting Bull and
with Chief Joseph and his Nez Percea are all to be
ascribtd to this Indian Bureau which even now
is engaged in n similar attempt to remove from
his reservation Chief Joseph and his remaining

bring about anO her frulllesl slaughter OF men

LOUISIANA LANDSCAPES.

We happened last Saturday to drop in Du-
