cct ded 300 The ANGER had other

no efforts to interfere, owing to intimi
dation Ivy priests. A telegram from
Lahore reports that the Ameer begged

bassy.
A dispatch from Durham says that
much doubt exists as to whether King

peace aud prosperity will depend. and
that the districts affording him shelter

Mrs. Merrill, who was an eccentric widow, died

atoms.

atiOms.
A dispatch from Providence gives a letter
which A. c. Barstow, of the Board Of Indian
Commissioners, has received from Secretary
SchurZ. The Secretary says Of the rescue Of the
Meeker family from the Utes, and the peace
mission to them:-It is now, think, generally
admitted that had the war continued without
the Intervention of Special Agent Adams, the
captive women and children recently rescued
would have been sacrificed. To save them was
our first duty. The latest dispatches received
from Gen. Adams, who had so far performed his
mission with remarkable spirit and judgment,
greatly encourage the hope that the whole
trouble will be peaceably composed in accordance
with the instructions given him. may add that
such arrangements with regard to the set
tlement OF the UteS as will be just to them, and
at the same time to Obv1ate all future conflicts
between them and the people OF Colorado. This
There are still many who clamOr for war,
without considering that, although such con-
nlct would undoubtedly at last result In the de-
struction Of the Utes, it would be also likely to
drive into hostilities, by an indiscr1minate at
tack, Indians who have SO far been friendly to
the whites and are entitled to our friendship;
the White River band, but assume larger proper
tons; that winter campaign in the mountains
where the Indians have the advantage of greater
familiarity with the country and Of superior ia
cility Of movement-in other words, on fighting
ground, most favorable to them-would be most
eXpenSively difficult and haraSSing to our troops,
and would, without doubt, lead to the devasta-
ton Of the exposed border settlements and min
ing camps, and bring destruction and disaster
upon a great many innocent people. If we sue
ceed In accomplishing all that Justice and good
policy require, without 1nfict1ng upon the
whites as Wei as the Indians calamities which
inevitably follow different line OF action, every
sensible man Will have reason to be> satisfied
The hope you express that we adhere formally
to our present purpose as long as there is any
chance for its realization, win certainly not
be disappointed, and trust that the good sense
and love OF justice OF the American people Will
finally sustain US In our endeay0rS.
