THE IMPERIAL TnDICATOR OF
ARMY MO VEMENTS.
If Napoleon has served no other good pur
pose in the present war, he has at least for
nished by his individual movements a fair in
dication of the direction in which the tide of
battle has turned. Despite the conflicting re
ports of various engagements and diverse
theories of contemplated or completed mili
tary operations, a close approximation to the
truth may be gleaned from the record of his
peregrinations. Anxious to be at the front
whenever there is a possibility of achieving a
French victory, he smells danger from
afar, and is the first to flee when
a retrograde movement is rendered necessary
by the determined way the Germans have
adopted of pushing things. At the first and
only French victory, at Saarbruck, Napoleon
was of course present, and the detailed ac
counts of 'that affair describe with touching
minuteness how bravely and skilfully he
compelled a small Fruseian force to retreat
before an overwhelming French force, and
how warmly he was congratulated by the
courtiers of the camp on the splendor of this
achievement. But when real war commenced
the glories of Saarbruck quickly paled, and
finding that there was harder work to be
done at the front than he had bargained for,
Napoleon was the first to seek shelter behind
the strong walls of Metz this individual re
treat typifying the retreat of the whole
army, for the paramount object of its ex
istence, under imperial mismanagement, is
made the protection of the Emperor.
Then, when dangers thickened around
Metz, the degenerate nephew of a great
uncle was the first to fall back to Verdun, and
his despatch announcing this fact told more
plainly than a circumstantial newspaper re
port that his army was about to follow in
the same direction. Although absurd gas
conade was intermingled with his sentenoes,
they told a story of disaster and defeat as
significant as if he had repeated to the world
the exclamation which he is reported to re
peat to himself, and which has been
freely translated into English by the
phrase: "I have got a sockdolager!"
This imperial indicator of army movements
has since turned up at Chalons, and this last
change of base foreshadows a determination
to select that famous battle-ground as the
scene of the decisive conflict of the war. If
the French cannot make a stand there, all hope
of resisting the victorious advance of the
Germans must be abandoned by the Empe
peror and the Empire, and there will be no
alternative left but a humiliating surrender,
or the establishment of a republio that will
once more inspire France with the heroio
feeling that wells up in the breasts of brave
men when they are fighting for their country
and themselves, instead of striving to perpe
tuate a rotten dynasty.
Good management, skilful generalship, and
continued activity in Paris in forwarding
reinforcements and supplies may enable
Napoleon to render Chalons , an impassable
barrier. . But the Germans harass his regular
army so incessantly, and they have already
done so much to destroy and dispirit it, that
the remnants which reach Chalons will be ter
ribly shattered, while the new recruits, who
have arrived there from the rear, are said to
be fearfully demoralized. They laok the in
centives which made the old republican
armies invincible; and while they are, doubt
leas, anxious to save their country, they would
fight with much greater zeal under a repub
lican government than nnder the rule of the
Imperial indicator who is the author of all
their present woes.
TUB SAN JUAN QUESTION.
We yesterday published an article from Put
nam's Magazine by General Alvord, which
gave a very clear and explicit statement of
the controversy between the United States
and England with regard to the possession of
the island of San Juan, which, if allowed to
remain in the hands of the British, will, in
conjunction with their strong positionon Van
couver's Island, enable them practically to
command the northwestern outlet of our
dominions. This controversy is a part
of the legacy left na by the irreso
lution ' of President Polk and ' his
advisers, who allowed themselves to be
bullied into yielding everything of impor
tance in the Northwest that England de
manded; and instead of fighting for the line
tf 64 degrees 40 minutes, consented to the
boundary of the 49th parallel, and moreover
gave up Vancouver's Island, which General
Alvcrd rightly says "frowns down upon all
our possessions in that quarter." When the
treaty of the 15th of June, 184t, was con
cluded, all the territory involved in the con
troversy was an uninhabited wilderness!
Gold bad not been discovered in California,
and there seemed no prospect whatever that
the Pacific coast would be ttled and orga
nized into States for many years to come.
That the Government yielded as it did to the
demands of England was because it appeared to
be a piece of folly to involve the two coun
tries in a war on aooount of a desert far re
moved from civilization, and which might
never be of use to anybody. It was a mis
take on our part, and in the future it ought
to be held as an axiom in American diplo
macy that we always will make a mistake if
we yield in the slightest degree to the de
mand or pretensions of England in any con
troversy we my hve with her. Two years
alter tUe Northwest boundary treaty waa con.
eluded the discovery of gold was made in 1
California, and the entire relations of the
Facific coast to the rest of the
country were changed. In less
than a quarter of a century from
the day when we yielded to England the
immense strip bf territory included between
the 49th parallel of north latitude and the
parallel of 64 deg. 40 min., with its coast line,
and the great island of Vancouver, States and
Territories have sprung up on the Facifio
slope which rival those of the East in popu
lation and wealth, and a second grand trans
continental railway is being built which will
have its terminus at Puget Sound, one of the
outlets to the Paoiflo Ooean which are frowned
upon by British guns from Vancouver's Island.
Having given up this territory, however,
there is nothing for us to do but to abide
by our bargain, but for the United
States to yield a single point in its claims to
the island of San Juan and the adjacent ar
chipelago would be the height of folly.
General Alvord clearly shows in the paper
which we published yesterday that when the
treaty of 1846 was made there was no misun
derstanding whatever on this point, and that
the British claim to the island of San Juan
was trumped up afterwards, and with charac
teristic insolence Lord Russell and other Eng
lish statesmen who have discussed the matter
have refused to listen to any proposition for
a settlement of the controversy that will not
leave them in possession of the disputed
territory. About the time of
the breaking out of the rebellion
there was a prospect of a difficulty between
the United States and England with regard
to this island, but as we had something
to attend to just then, a compromise was
effected by General Scott, who proposed
the joint occupation of the island by the
forces of the two countries, until diplomacy
should decide which party it belonged to.
Since then the subject has been lost sight of
amid the press of weightier matters, but the
fact that the Northern Pacific Railroad will
terminate at Puget Sound is bringing it
prominently before the public again; and the
time has arrived when the dispute ought to
be settled finally and forever by our taking
possession of San Juan Island and the
Haro Archipelago quietly if we can,
forcibly if we must. It would be a
crime of the first magnitude for the United
States to enter upon a war with England out
of mere greed for the acquisition of territory;
but it would be worse than a crime a blun
der for us to be bullied into giving up what
rightfully belongs to us for the sake of avoid
ing a contest. There is no danger, however,
that England will attempt to get up a fight on
this subject, and our Government can pro
cure a settlement of the controversy, if it will,
by simply asserting its rights and refusing to
listen to any compromise or to any proposi
tion for arbitration. The Northern Pacifio
Railroad will be completed before many years,
and it is therefore important that a definite
movement for the settlement of the dispute
should be commenced at once, and any new
negotiations should be entered into with a
fixed ' determination on our part to obtain
what we want at all hazards.
riOUS INDIAN AGENTS.
The Indian Bureau has oome to the impor
tant determination to pay more attention
than heretofore to the moral qualifications
and capacity of its agents; and we are in
formed that, whenever practicable, such
agents, before appointment, will be required
to have the endorsement of the religious
bodies to which they may respectively belong,
as in the case of the Quakersappointeda
year ago. If it were possible to obtain truly
pious men to act as Indian agents, the coun
try might expect a very great improvement
in the relations between the Indians and
the white race on the Western plains;
but our faith in the ability or disposition of
the men who really control the Indian Bureau
to make such selec tions as will lead to desira
ble results is exceedingly limited. We have
too often .seen examples of robes borrowed
from Heaven to serve the devil in to expect
any great moral improvement in the Indian
agents appointed under a system that is cor
rupt and rotten to the core, and one of the
evil effects of sending out the Quakers last
year was that it set a bad precedent. While
we have every reason to hope for good results
from the missionary enterprises set on foot
and Bupportedby the different religious bodies
of the country, we have no faith whatever in
missionaries sent out under the auspices of
the Government. It may not be complimen
tary to the religious people of the nation, but
it is nevertheless a solemn truth, that it is
one of the easiest things in the world for a
man of no character whatever to obtain an
endorsement from a church congregation or
the prominent officials or members of almost
any of the different denominations. While
this announcement from the Indian Bureau
may mean that an effort will be made in good
faith to appoint a better class of men than
heretofore as agents, it looks very much as
if the old Indian ring which
for years past has been plundering both the
Government and the Indians has taken a
hint from the appointment of the Quaker
agents, and has come to the conclusion that
it will pay to cover its iniquities with the
garb of religion; and there is a prospect
ahead that the poor savages will be swindled
worse In the future than they have been in the
past. The fact of the matter is that the
whole system of Indian agencies, like that of
Pension agencies, has become so cor
rupt that no good can be ' expected
from it, and the only way to effect a reform
is to break it up entirely and to transfer the
management of our Indian affairs to the
army. . That Congress would not consent to
take this step is because the Indian ring is
strong enough to effectually resist any chauge
that will deprive it of its opportunities for
plunderand it is scarcely possible to expect
an improvemont so long as Congressmen,
rather than turn their friends and partisans
out of office, prefer that bloodshed and
rapine shall continue upon the frontier in
