Show TOE IXDIA3T TROrBLF.S. , General Ord, commat-n r of thi? military deparment, and his brother major Ord, arrived from tbe east on Thursday night. Yesterday, after consultation, con-sultation, general Morrow concluded to start troops tbia morning for the scene of tbe Indian troubles south. A force of one hundred infantry and three companies of cavalry will be dispatched, dispatch-ed, the mounted troops having been forwarded from ether posta for this duty. General Morrow has runners out to see the Indians and endeavor to arrange fDr a pow-wow at Spaaish Fork, with all who will come in and have a talk with him. He intends to inqnirs into tbeir alledged grievances, I with a view to having them removed, i If any of the chief's are desirous of going to Washington to lay tbeir causes of dissatisfaction before the government he will have them forwarded; but witb those who persist in continuing in a ! hostile attitude, force will be promptly used to compel their good behavior. This is tbe plan proposed; efforts for conciliation first ; and these failing, cold steel and cold lead for those In-, In-, dians that persist in making raids on I tbe settlements. We understand that general Morrow I will request tbe assistance of the people peo-ple in tho disturbed districts, which, , we are satisfied, will be promptly and cheerfully given, to accomplish tbe purpose in view. And we still have hopes, that witb the general's humanity, human-ity, experience and sound judgment, in furtherance of the course indicated, the calamity of an Indian war may be yet averted. To this end wo trust the ; Indian interpreters will use all tbeir i efforts with tbe aborigines to secure peace. |
