Show MORE OF THE INDIAN EXCITEMENT. EX-CITEMENT. Vwrciay there a continuation, or rather, repetition, of tha cnitc-oi-ot of Saturday relative to Indian ...ttord. Cul.X-.Im L. Ivy, of San-pe.o, San-pe.o, bad arrived in town, and reported report-ed that he a met in Salt Creek canyon, can-yon, hen in a W '' b'3 w,lc and children, by .ii Indiana, one ol then, drunk, who stopped him, Burro Bur-ro inded hU wagon, aeuianded ll h.waaJimlvy-hia brother. When he informed them that he waa not, alter .0 no hltle time spent in talkini; anion temelves, they allowed h.m to pa.-. He whipped up hu nnimula lively, and not away, two of the Indians subsequently subse-quently following hitn, but failing to over ake him. This was the- groundwork ground-work for the renewed excitement. Ytord.y general Cowan, assistant aeoeiary of the Interior, who is in ,on, general Morrow, governor Wood, and Dr. Dodge, Indian agent, held aconaultation, when it waa do-0 do-0 led i hat Dr. Dodge should start this morn.ug southward to have the Indian Indi-an removed again to tho reservation, iu,op to be furnished by general Morrow, Mor-row, if necessary. 10 so"1""-'1 ,ho re-uiovaL re-uiovaL This waa the condition of attain yesterday evening. There seems a desire on tho part of aumo to provoke, if possible an Indian war; and the object can be accomplished, accom-plished, but at what cost? Suppose the policy of citormination, so strongly urged in somo quarters, should bo adopted; what then ? Troop are sent into mountains full of lurking places unknown to thcui, but with which tho Indians are perfectly per-fectly familiar. Tho entire force in tho Territory might be engaged in the campaign, cam-paign, and while they would bo guarding guard-ing some of tho passes and following tho savages into tho mountains, tho nltaoka would be made in other exposed ex-posed districts. Eaids would bo made nn settlements which tho troops would bo po.verless to prevent; stock would bo stolen as in all ludian wars ; the sparsely peopled mining distriots would hivo to bo abandoned, for years, pro-bab pro-bab y ; and after all tho white lives lost aud tho means expended in tho effort to extoi minato the Indians, bullets and bayonets ba-yonets would not do the work as quickly a fine flour is dow doing it. And it is (.aid to say that too white Uvea would be sacrificed for every Indian killed. An ludiau warmoana the mining and agricultural agri-cultural interests seriously imperilled for years, and a great eaerifico of blood aud means to accomplish what can be accomplished infinitely cheaper aud eaeit-r, Tho stoppage of Ivy and his family in not like an ao' of Indian hostilities. The aborigines do not make attacks iu that fashion. They shoot lust, with their victim at a disadvantage, and talk afterwards. They had been drinking, too, the liquor, it is stated, having been furnished them at Nephi. And there is no penalty authorized by law too neavy to inflict on the scoundrelly wrctcheswho would plare such an agent of evil in their hand. The authorities t Nephi should promptly use all diligence dili-gence to discover and bring to strict Recount those who have been guilty of supplying tho Indians with liquor. But thero is still another view of this Ivy matter. Jim Ivy killed an Indian a length of time ago at Scipio; shot him in oold blood, if we are correctly cor-rectly informed. lie shot him because Borne time before his father had been killed by Indians. And the father had been so killed because he had also killed kill-ed an Indian. Ia fact there is a vendetta ven-detta between tho Indians aud the Ivy a. The latter will kill Indians, and the "nvaes will kill them. But in this Salt Creek canyon affair there was a show of justice by Tc-.u-onah who was the leader of the savages, we Iearu; for they only wanted the man who hud killed one of their number, and his life they would assuredly have taken. , ,i Dr. Dodge is expected to start this uiorniug. We think Dr. Dodge should , , have gone some days ago; for it was f " t1 his duty with such reports as have been flying around for some time past, to have informed himself by personal observation as to the actual state of affairs in that region of oouDtry.
