we will be troubled with the fact of this vigorous commencement of hostilities just now and the consideration of uhe the condition status and present temper of the indians alike point to thi this vonc conclusion lusion we give ia a another column the last statement published by the commissioner af of indian affairs of the probable numbers of the indians tho the statement embraces the indian population of the territories and of the several states in which there remained any of the race rate at the time it lla Ild having ving been made mam before the warthe total was three hundred and fourteen thousand of these three hundred thousand a large audber was dependent upon the government for support at that time and und that number was wag increasing every year eye every I 1 train of emigrants that crossed jhb the poza pola plains eins lins carrying the arcs arts of civilized life with them reduced the self sup porting orti power 0 of t the e in indians ia s an and t the e great development of the gol goi gold bearing r regions zio gio s did the same to a greater degree settlements e ants of whatever character injured ared their hunting grounds and so inevitably increased their dependence upon annuities then the war broke out and its demoralizing tl influence up on tho the savage was very great they vvera wore were easily led into war from any cause hey lost their annuities and suffered suffered considerable onside rable rabie distress an and thus were made mide ready to go to any extremity what will make all this still worse is is ahat we must expect now that our greater war is over a more extensive emigration and development of the gold fields and a consequently greater pressure than ever upon the indians tho circular from the commissioner of indian affairs which we give else elso where shows the temper in which the government overn ment reg regards ards these hostilities fhe the the indian bu bureau reau by that circular subordinates ordinates mb its action entirely to that of the war department and orders the immediate cessation of all intercourse with hostile indians thus the indians dependent in a large degree uron uton upon the government for support have t that at r support at once entirely withdrawn and cannot even purchase the necessaries of life from traders then the immense present power of tile the government will no doubt be used against against t helwith hem with proper vigor and the resistance that their fifty or sixty thousand warriors ors can offer olter even if all are brought into the struggle will soon be
