FIRST EDITION CUB Condition of the "ETer Faithful Isle-Isabella Virtually Ac knowlcdged by the Cu ban Authorities. Fro&fcss of tho Rebellion. Tbe New York Herald's Havana correspondence at the 7th InMant contains ihe foll3wtnfr: Not a nandlul, but twelve or fourteen thou sand men, well armed and organized, with liornlatcan BDd Mexican peneial and officers as leader, hoisting the Spanish flat?, demand for Cuba the same political rlfrtits now enjoyed in Bpaln, as the result of the last glorious revolution. The Captain-General has op josfd this just claim with twelve thomaud oldlcis of all arms, because that gentleman niches to maintain Cuba under the Government of the dethroned Isabella II, in whose name justice is administered here. Her portrait is mil exhibited at the courts and public offices, the officers bear the initials ot the ex yueen on their caps and uniforms the oath of ouedienco is slill administered in her name, aud at the last lottery orawiug she was warmly hurrahed. The present Captain-General is therefore iu open rebellion against the Spanish Government, and the liberal j urty of this country, both Spaniards and native Cubans, are determined to partake ct the liberty and guarantees now prevailing in the nation. The so-called Insurgents have not stolen a single cent from anybody. What they have takea to relieve their necessities has been paid in cash or with bonds, which will be paid as oon as the revolution triumphs. They are not Incendiaries. The only burning which baa occurred ia that of the little village of Manati, audi it was done by the shells of the troops of the Captalu-Gencral which fell on the frame bouses. It is in the Interest of the Captain-General and his followers to misre present the insurgent, aud for that reason the Diario de la Marina says daily that they are outlaws, that they have armed the negroes and desolate.tbe country. The object la to alarm the owners el slaves aud the Ignorant people, who fear the loss of their lile and property. With the same purpose of alarming they tpread they spread the rumor that the negroes of this city and th9 suburbs were to rise against the whites, and on the 221 ultimo an order was given to tire cannon and dehieuate the places which were to be occupied by the troops in case of a revolt. A few days afier an Insurrection was invented iu the public jail, where it is said there were arms concealed. Ihe Government, moreover, hss secretly issued proclamations, some inciting the negroes to rebel and kill their owners, soma abusing the native Spaniards and purporting to be written by the Cubans, anl vice veraa, thus creating animositv and hatred i o order to derive advan tages. By splitting the party they rely on victory. Their determination is to miautaln this Uiand under the despotism of their Queen and mis ress. The to called insurgents occupy now all the Fastern territory lrom Point Mial to Puerto Principe, with exception of the large towns, which they have not thought prudent to hold until the troops are completely routed in the Held. Judging irom me gooa lonuue attend ing them and their valor and skill tbere is no doubt of the success ot the Liberals. Tney have established their government and headquarters at Uayamo, which they stormed and captured, with the Lieutenant Governor and 400 men of bis command. Colonel Lono and his column, con poeed of 1200 men, were defeated. Luno is new a prisoner, witu most or bisco-nmaud. Of the pi-iboners captured at Uayamo and at the engagement with Colonel Lono almost all have adhered to the caue of the in-f-nrpents. Colonel Qulros and the 1500 men of big column were decoyed into the interior aud are now surrounded by 41)00 Liberals, who have not exterminated them because they only desire a surrender, wbU'h is daily expected. So strong are the Liberators of Cuba that they have seat lawyer Don Luis Fernandez ds Castro to treat with tne Captain-General. The conditions are that they will ground their arms as soon as the liberties proclaimed in Spain are grauled in the islaiid and a militia of the citisens Is organized. The Ceneral has received tho envoy, aud he ia tieia-ned and deprived of communicating wnh the people at the office of the Chief of Police. It Is rumorpd tba. this gentleman left last night with the General who is second iu comuiaud, who has instructions to make a com promise with the insurgents. All thissliows the truth of our assertions and Is corroborated by the Diartode (a Marina, an official paper which, in giving the news of the departure for the in terior ot the General Count ot Balmaseda, says that he is ouly authorized to effect on the field a solution favorable to all. If that solution is re alieed it cannot be but in a liberal lisht, and shall have been obtained, not by the will of the Captain-General, but bv the force of arms of the Liberals, with whom the country sympathizes with all its heart. But In the meantime the blood of brothers is being spilt, and animosities, which are always detrimental to the true Interests of the country, are created. The enlightened Spaniards and tlie good men among them side with the Cubans. The ignorant, guided by their countrymen who have become wealthy by being enetged in the negro trade in partnership with the Governaieut, and derive advantage from the present order of things, are oppoced. What would become of Ibem the dif when, the press being free, their Inert and iniquities should be published? Tnese bad men are the counsellors ot the Captain General, whom they bitbed before he came to this island by presenting him with shares of the Spaaibh bank amountiug to $50,000. This Is v ell known and appears from the books of the bank. From such counsellors and a n an who has publicly said that his heart and b s sword are for Isabella II, what can be expected? About fifteen days aeo some forty cf the most respectable persons ot this city called on the Captain-General, and stated to him the situation of the country, the necessity of proclaiming in Cuba the liberties prevailing in Spain, and that the Eastern Department would lay down arms, avoiding in time mneh m (fortune and bloodshed. A Cuban and an old Spaniard spoke warmly on the subject, and be lt re the latter closed bis discourse he was inter rupted bv the Captain-General, who became full of lie, called the pentlemeu present selitious, promised to ca-e bait of the world to ba shot, and dismissed them in the most eros manner. As the Spaniard above mentioned is a colonel of engineer-, he the next day ordered him to leave ihe island, and he Is now on his way to Spain, laving left on the 30ih ultimo, In the Spamsh nail steamer. . , ..... . Here and In some of the towns or the Island many persons have been imprisoned, to the sffl ction and tribulation of many lamllles and the wru'h of the liberal beans. The conduct observed by the United Slates at tins time is saverely censured here, because at tie same time that the American Government ! been the first to recognize the authorities in lladrid and to congratulate the Spanish na'ion on ihe triumph ol liberal principles, it is selling arrrs to the Captain-General, who, now in iebel Jion against that Government, wishes to combat h Tiurt v in Cuba which only alms at the union with their brothers of Spain and the enjoyment cf freedom. The cantaiu-uenerai nas prouiuii.ru 11 Bor 8 of mcetin?e, but they are held privately, i mnut T.ertect unanimity prevails among Cubans and native Spaniards. Cuba does not tttk to day the achievement of her independ anre knowing her true interests, and ouly SepUW to Ufti ib foUUcftl rtthU nd lUwrtj which are so nccesary to her progress. United as they are, success is beyond a doubt for the welfare of a community who has for the last three centuries groaned under the Iron haud qf ctrpotlam. GRANT. Ihe ftenerftl on Universal Suffrage Ills) Cabinet. TTashinpton (JVov. 18) Vor. of Boston rost. A distinguished radical Senator who arrived in this city last evening says tbat the idea now bi coming so prevalent of General Grant's con seivatlvt views will prove delusive. He bnses this declaration upon bis knowledge ot Grant's political faith as derived directly from the General immediately after his nomination by the Chicago Convention. Among other things he says tbat Grant emphatically declared to bim a full endorsement ot negro suffrage, enlorced, if necessary, by Congressional action. In a protracted conversation ou the subject between the General and a number of radical CoLgresrinen, he said he had beeu at one time opposed to extending the right of franchise to lreednun, but that his vi"ws bad undergone a radical chunge ou that question, anl that be now regarded it us essentially ucceseary for tie protection of the negroes tbat they should be armed with the ballot. This Senator further says tbat during the latter portion ot the la-t tefs'on of Congress Grant wai in the lead on all radical measures, and favored the most radical method of executing the several Reconstruction acts, llcr.ee he laughs at the idea that Grant's it augural will lay out a con-.ervative pol.cy tor his administration unless an administration of the laws, as enacted and understood by the tadical party, cau be considered conservative. Our Senatorial infoimant further stated that General Grant had, no doubt, fixed upon the whole ot his Cabinet, except a Secretary of the Treasury, and uf on this ho would probably decide while in New York, He thinks that Mr. slotle, late Minister to Austria, will be ten dered the Slate Department. From the Chicago Tribune (.Grant organ), Nov. 17. In the British Government the Secretary of the Treasury stands at tlie head of the CaOinet; but in the American Government the Secretary of State, who has charge of foreign relations, is considered to bold tbat exalted rank. The President of every administration, from Washington down to the present day, has se lected tbe ablest obtainable material in the party as Secretary ot State. Look at tbe bright constellation of stars which have shone iu the State Department, in the order of tbeir succes sion: Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Q. Adam, Henry Clay, M irun Van Buren, fcdward Livingston, John Forsyth, Daniel Webster, John C. Calhoun, James Bu chanan, John M. Clayton, lt d ward Everett, William L. JIarcy, Lewis Cas9, William 11. Seward. Six of these men were afterwards President, viz. Jefferson, Madison, Montoe, Adams, Van Buren, and Buchanan; and lour of them were candidates before the people for the Presidency, vis.: Clay, Webster, Calhoun, Cas, and almost Seward. General Grant must find a compeer who can average with these. All Presidents put their best loot forward in the selection of Secretary of State. What timber has General Grant to select from? Let us see. There Is the courtly and suave Senator Charles Sumner; tho accom plished, polished, and learned J. Lotnrop Motley, late Minister to Ausiriu; Charles Fraacis Adams, lute Minister to England, of aristocratic mien and manners, cold, haughty, talented, and high bied, and lastly, Edwin M. Stanton, late Secretary ot War, a man of great brain power, fearless, direct, unyielding, and a scoruer of diuloraatic intrigue and hvpucrlsv. If he were Secretary of State Great Britain would settle the Alabama and other claims without much more circumlocution, evasion, insolence, or procrastination. As President Grant will lay nla nnger on a nm-c'.ass man, it ne takes e it tier ot these men, and as he can, we presume, command their service.-', we cannot see the force of the statement made by a contemporary tnat he would not be able to find a man tor Secretary of State who would compare iavorably with those who have filled that office. Grant on IIorNe and Peace The nils take of an Ex-Con federate. The Ne w York Berad's Washing ton despatches contain the lollowiug: While General Grant was bere, after his re turn from Galena lately, a gentleman not long iu tbe city happened to pass by the stables of the President elect, and having a curiosity to look in, faced towards the place and entered. A plain looking little man in nis snirt sleeves was sitting on an inverted water bucket, quietly smoking a cigar. To this plain little inau went tne inquisitive gentleman Gooa uay to you," stta tue ientieman. "Good day," responded the plain little smoker. "This Grant's stable?" 'Tbis is his stable." "Any objection to looking at Hiram Ulysses' horseflesh?" "Not a bi; Quite welcome to look, sir." "Heard so much about the General's fast beasts that I thought I would like to view theui. By Jove 1 tbat is a nne animal, ana no mistake ( looking at one of them). Grant is very fond of his horse, isn't be?" "Ves, he is rather given that way," answered the little smoker, with an unaccountable twin kle in his eye. Kutlier drive a fast team any day than get serenaded, I suppose, or hold a Cabinet?" "That's lather a broad qucstiou," replied the little man, with another curions twinkle. Something in the twinkle disconcerted the questioner just at, this juncture and prompted Him to utter "Oh, 1 beg pardon, sir, but I don't mean to be inquisitive." "Ho occasion to beg pardon at all," answered the little man in shirt sleeves. This rea-suted tbe curions gentleman, who recommenced his questioning, while he kept eyeing tho hcisedesb. iiow Goes uraui iaae nis election now r uoes be really take it so coolly as the newspapers say? I have never seen blm, you know, and know nothlLg of him except by report." "Well, yes; the newspapers are about right there anyhow. The Gneial does take tbe elec tion about the same as anything else," said the little man. "Well, now, he must be a wonderful fellow. Ey Jove I sir, .the man who can bear every honor so easily and coolly as (Jrant mtut be something above tbe rest of mankind." "Did you ever see Grant's likeness ?'' dryly asked the little man. "Oh yes, ot course. They say he's ugllor t'jan tbe prints make him. 1 suppose you know him well now. He talks to you, of couise, a great deal about his horses, and I wouldn't wonder If he told you a good deal more thau most people about him." "Well, I am supposed to know a good deal about Grant; that's a lact. You say you have teen Giant's likeness, and that people say he is uglier than his pictures. Now, what do you tbink? Do I look auytlilng like his pictures?" A flood of light overwhelmed the curious gen tleman In an instant. Too little man in siiirt sleeves aud tuiokirg was Grant himself I What a mistake I A number of apologies escaped from tbe gentleman. He was sorry to have made such a mistake very sorry. -He himself had been on the Conlederate 'side lighting against Grant, and was still more sorry for that. Wouldn't have been so Imperii neut bad he kuown ho was conversing with Grant himself. 'My dear sir," said Grant, "no apology is necessary. Glad to see you. Whether you were a Confederate or a Union man makes no difference now. Tbat is all over, you kuow, and should be forgotten. The sooner the distinction Is Ignored the sooner we will have peace. 1 will be glad to Bee you again, sir. Good day to yon." "Good day, General," and the curious gentle man withdrew, cogitating on Grant's "Let at have !(" WASHINGTON. Thti Annual department Reparta What liaa leia bono JJurlua tbe Faat Year. TBF INDIAN BCBBiU. Tne report of Commissioner Tailor, of the Indian Boreau, for the fiscal year, has tieen laid bflore tbe Becretary of the Interior. He says: The number of Indians now within the bound ot the United States, exclusive of those In Alaska, is about 300.000. H thinks it sad that they are decreasing tioni year to year, and lading away so, rapidly Irom the nations ot the earth. The causes therefor, as well as much of tbe misery and degradation prevailing among them, are mainlv attributed to Intestine wats, the entailment of loathsome disuss by vicious whites, aud the cflW-ta of indulgence In spirit uous liquors. Jle thinks that a Urge proportion of ludian tribes show a strong disposition to throw aHe their barbarous customs, aud emorace clvilizt tibn. But with therm, as with all other semi civilized peoples, Improvement Is slow. Their civilization must be ti.e work of time, patiently and hopefully piosecuttd. with liberality on the part of tbe Government an I laithrul and prompt lullllnieut of all its cbhgattnns anil promises. This work should enlist tbe symoatby of all lovers ot humanity, and incite to its practical oemonstration the divine spirit of charity to a much greater extent tban is now manifested. He thinks that not as much Interest is shown now as foimerly In the welfare ot the rel mau by those who mce sought to brine him under moral and religious influences. Mauy tries have neither schools nor anv religious instruc tion whatever, tbough tbe field is large and ready, and there is a strong appeal lor Christian labor and benevolent etlort. Government stiouUl invite to its assistance in this humane work all good men and all Christian soce'lc, and tbculd liberally aid in the support of schools and missions. The Commissioner says tbat peace has been maintained witb mot of tbe liibes during the pa-it year, and friendship hai marked their caurse towards our Government and citizens, while they have faithfully endea vored to support themselves and better their estate. Thia is suid more especially of those settled on reservations. With others there have, however, been such serious difficulties that we may be said to have an Indian war on our hands. He holds that the Cay ennes and Arapahoes have clearly violated their treaty promises made scarcely a year ago to commissioners sent to treat with them. It is oiflicult to account for their bad behavior on any other ground tban their innate love of plunder and revenge, intensified by a feeling of dusatisfaction, created, it is presumed, by the non-delivery ot guns and ammunition promised them by the Commissioners, but withheld because the Chcjenncs had tot kept pence. Tbe Commissioner embodies in his report somethin of the history of the difficulties with these two tribes aud the Kiowas and Camanches, saying tbat the last named arc likely to be drawn into the general war. He fears that the friendly Indians of these lour tribes will suffer with tne guilty in the measures of punishment that may be adopted by the military autho rities, though the Bureau has takeu suub pre caution as it could to protect tbe innocert. If tbe hostile savaces will not cease their war and outrages they should be punished witb severity, add their claims upon the Government should be declared lorfeited bv Congress. Tbe Commissioner alludes to the difficulties in Ari zona aLd New Mexico, and says tbat they will continue until tbe Indians are put and kept upon reservations. He congratulates himself upon the close of the InJian troubles In Idaho mid Dakotab. Alluding to the labors of tbe Indian Peace Commission, of which General Sherman was the head, tho Commissioner has no doubt that they will yield widely beneficent results. Mr. Ta j lor next details the work of the year in maktug and rat fying treaties with a large number ot tribes, and shows that most ot them have been crried Into full effect. Claims to the amount of about $400,000 have been presented lor depredations committed by Indians In the war of lbu3, and he recommen t-i tbe appointment of a commission lor their settlement, lis alo r cammends legislation to frotect the peoole ot Texas who may suffer by ndian raids from Mexico. The Cboctaws and Chickasaws have decided to wit'iholii the nebts of citizenship from tbe negroes residing among tbem. as they were allowed to do by treitv, aud it becomes the duty of the Government to remove such negroes as desire to leave. Tu"re tore he asks Congress to take action in tbe pre mises. We renews aud strougly urees his recom mendations for a change in the laws regula'iut! trade and intercourse with tbe Indiuno, aud closes by booing tor such legislation as will at a proper time biiup the Indians ot Alirka within tbe supei vision of the Government. CEMETERIES. Bil.'adler Geneial M. C. Meifja has submitted his ani ual report to the Secretary ot War. One of tbe most interesting gee. ions ot tbe report relates to the national cemeteries. Attention bus beeu paid to gathering au i ideu tifylng the remains of soldiers. Tue-nuruber of national cemeteries is ii, ana reports nave also been received from 320 local, post, or private grounds. The total number oi graves is 316,233. of which the occupants of 145.764 have been satisfactorily ideutided. Tue amounts expended lor sites, care, transfora tion, and all purposes connected with, the work to June 30. 1808, was $2,600,000. The estimated expense of the next yeai is $500,000. While the amount expended seems large, it must be remembered that on acciuut ot the numb"rs who died at the hospitals and camps at tbe North tho work baa really extended over nearly the whole, settled territory of the United States. The Quartermaster-General recommends tbe employment of disabled sol diers lor superintendents and other service about these grounds He thinks that the States should not ne applied to tor monuments, but that the Government should c insider the whole care a sacred truss, I'll let u rolls of honor have been published, five are in the hands of the printer, and six more will complete the number. They contain a list of graves of uearly 200,000 soldiers, wi.h the record of the place where the. remains were found, aqd a list; of nearly 100,000 graves,which aie asyct unknown, but w hich exlsiiug records may identify. Care ful records of everything louud with each body, and of all that could serve to help to identity, have been preserved. The wooden head boar Is are lust decaying; stone the Q lanermasler' General regards as too cosily, aud be recommends bollow rectangular blocks ot gal vanized iron, tiled with eaith or cement. -The Quarteruiabter-Gtr.eial thinks that the atten tion of Congress should be called to the opera tion of the law of March 30, 1868, by which the decision of accounting officers of tne Treasury Department is made final and bind ii.g over the beads of departments. He says that under it pay lor many contracts has been allowed which were made without the autboiity ot the deputt ment, and even against positive orders. 1'b report clones with remarks upon tbe great evil of lurnihbing Indians wiiu improved arms, and recommends tbat no arms be supplied to any Indian not a citizen. Arrows will do for the chase. Indians, the Gcm-ial says, should be governed by police me asures, not by treaties. nFOBT OV TUB SUPERINTENDENT OK PUBLIC) BTJILPINUS AND CUIOUNDS. Brevet Brigadier-General Michler's report Is of special interest to the inhabitants of tne Dis trict of Columbia. Of the President's house the General says: Several very important renovations and re pairs were attended to during the year, and tbe main buildlnes aud stables are now in very good order. A tew rooms still require to be painted and papered, and some of tbe lurnlture and carpeting to be renewed. Tbe exterior walls and colonnades also require to be painted. The conservatory has been almost entirely rebuilt, and ilants are being puicuased to replace those destroyed by fire. The small appropriation for this bulldtig is entirely inadequate to keep it in as complete order as It should be, and to pre serve and supply all tbe needful appendages to A Intended lor th residence of. tbe Chief Magistrate of the nation. A large appropriation is asked for annual repairs for the next fiscal year, and also one for refur nishing the establishment at the commencement of tbe next Presidential term'. As tnis otty has become tbe permanent sat of the Government, where millions have been expended upon tbe public buildings and the Improvement and ornamentation of tbe grounds, it would ssem proper that each State should build and furnish tnitable houses for Its Senators and Representa tives. The necessarr appropriations could easily be made, and would prove not to be bid Invest ments. Those benefited would be made more comfortable, and be able to receive and enter tain their constituents and friends. Tbe city would be improved by the addition of hiebly embellished bouses, and more apparent stability would bs given to tbe capital, h'oreicn nations would "be induced to emulate the example, as it would then appear that each S ate iadlvldually bad some permanent aud active interest ami Influence over the municipal affairs of the city. TUB INDIAN WAR. Bherldnn to Take tho Field-A Fight with (he Mavairea at Ilia: Coon t'r--k. Adivcps from Fort Iltyes, Kansas, to Nov. 14, give the following information: This post has bejn unusually lively to-day, and everything bears tbe appearance ot war in earnest. To-morrow being the day fixed by General Sheiidau (or his departure to tbe front, south of tbe Arkausas, to take coinroiiid in I rrcon of tbe opt rations ot bis columns aialust the hostile savages, Company C, lOtti United States Cavalry, tbe scouts, ordtrlies. Indians, bacgage, headquarter, trains, anil extra hr-es weie sent ahead, giving tbem one day's start uf tbe General and bis staff, who will leave to morrow (Sunday), overtaking tne train at th North Fork of the Pawnee, about forty-eight miles on the wiy. Lieutenant WU'tam J. Yolk mar, of the 6th United states Cavalry, having returned here from Fort Dodge, reports an encounter with Indians on Bm Coon creek. On November 2, Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel F. W. Bentern, Cap lain of the 7th United States Civalrv, and Lieutenant W. J. Volkmar, of the 6th United States Cavalrv, received orders to proceed with a detachment cf recruits and a largo numbr of freih horse to the 7th Cavalry in the field. Lieutenant Chancellor Martio, of the 3.1 United States Infantry, and wite weie aUo present, taking this means of reaching Foil Dodge, to wbich post Lieutenant Martin bad been ordered. A lame train ol wagons were also unJer escort. The first day afier leaving Fort Haruer, a party of fifty hostile savages wern encoun tered by the rear guard of the column, which had been ordered back four or bve miles to pick up several stray horses. The Indians fled, making a detour ot the columu. No more was seen of the savages until tbe atternoon of the 6th Inst. It was nearly sunset when, as the columu was about to go into camp, near Big Coon creek, tbe advance guard of ten men, under Seigtant Ryan, struck a party of fifty or sixty savages lying in a ravine under cover, apparently awaiting an opportunity to make a dash upon the column. As soon as the Sergeant discovered Ihe savages he dismounted the guard and gave them a volley. At the same time Lieutenant Volkmar hastily formed the train in double column, with the led animals In the centre, between the lines of wagous. The ambulance contalnirg Mrs. Martin was likewise placed betwf en the wagons, Lieutenant Martin joking the skirmishers with his rifles. As soou as the attack commenced Colonel Beuteen, with twenty mounted men, started in pur suit of the Indians, who were circling around tbe train, after tbe usual mode ot Indian warfare, the object of the savages evidently being to occasion a stampede of tbe animals. While this dlveislon whs being made by Colonel Benteen, Lieutenant Volkmar, who had posted a line ol skirmishers on tbe Hanks of the column, moved forward to tbe site selected for the camp. During the engagement Mrs. Martin conducted herself in a mauner worthy of the pi otession ot her husband, sitting smilingly in the ambulunce, a pitol iu each band, 'ready for any emeigeucy. Nlpht coming on Colonel Bentean discontinue.! the pursuit, and although tlie Indians hovered about tbe encamDment daring the night they were afraid to make an attack, as every precaution bad been taken to prtveit a surprise. Tbe next morning the column resumed its march, the Indians still being in sight, but keeping at a distance.

The I olio wing report was juet received at tbe War Department from Lieutenant-General Hhermau: IIlADQCARTER MILITARY DIVISION or THE Mipsoubi, feT. Louis, Mo., Nov. 1, 18ti8. Brevet Major-Ueneral K. D. TowuseuJ, Assl.itaut Adjutant-General, Washington, D. C Ueuerai; Ihe Militari Division of tbe Mieiouri is otiil composed of the Departments of Missouri, Platte and Dakota, eniDraomg snDiantiaiiy tneouatry west of the Mississippi, river to the Rocky Mountain, including New Mexico, Uiaa, aud Montana. These departments are com manded by Generals bberidan, Augur, and retry, wnose annual reports are transmuted herewith, and to them 1 reler you lor more detailed statements of the progress made, and of the events ol the past jear. Yon will observe that whilst tbe country generally has been at peace, the people on the Plains and the troops ot my command nave Det-n constantly at war. enduring all its dangers and hardships, with none of .its honor or reward?. In former re ports I enneavored to describe the reasons and cautes which maue a state or war. the noimal condition of affairs on the Plains, and have since studied to rind some lastinii remedv, Dut tnus lar wunoat suo ceM. Our people coutinue as heretofore to settle on the exposed points of the frontier, to travel without the precaution wbich a well- known dan itt would suggest, and to run alter every wild report of the discovery ot sold or otbr precious metals, thus coming into daily contact and nccestarj conflict with discontented and hostile luaians. ine co-orciiunie depart ments of our Government likewise contiuue to extend the surveys of public lauds westward, and erant patents to occupants to locate and build railroads, and to establish mail routes, with the necessary stations and elavs ot norf-es. as though tnat region of coun try were in profound peace aud all dauger to occupation and transit bad parsed away. Over all tht-e matters tDC military authorities have no control, jet their public nature implies pub lie protection, and we are dully and hourly called on for guards and ejeorts, aud are left iu the breach to eaten all tbe kick's and cutis ot a war of races, without the privilege of advising or being consulted beforehand. The reports of (ienerals Sbertuan, Auuur, and Terry contain abur daut evidence on these points, ana 1 refer to them here merely to demonstrate the lact tbat, as loug as those things continue from i.eceeBity and public policy, we cannot reduce our military iorces on the forntler, and should not even allow their strength to full away by the rapid causes of death, discharge, and desertion, but should keep tne rauks continually replenished with ireeh recruits. At tbe time of my last annual report, dated October 1, 1867, 1 was a member of the Peace Committer, on wbich tbe Congreas of tho United Mates had devolved the whole Indiau questiou lor a practical and, if possible, a peaceuble solution. At tbe same time, by au Executive order, it was made my military duty to subordinate all tbe acts of all the troops sub ject to my command to whatever plan of action the commies on mibt adopt. jtuntinued in our next edition.
