RELIGIOUS INLELLIGEACE. The important service rendered by secular papers, in giving space without stint to the publication of religious intel ligence and moral questions centrally, is received with great raver by Christians of all denominations. In fact the dailies give details that religions weeklies have not spade to command for such matter, without withholding other information necessary to a religious weekly. • The department Of “Religions Intelligence,". in a secular paper, is usually edited wholly independent of the religions or political views of the proprietors, especially iu reference to the former.

A Baptist minister inquired of the editor of the Fuming: . and Chronicre his views of baptistries, to which ho replied, substantially, that the Bible does not state that the ordinance should be per formed in a riser, and then refer' to the ingathering of 'souls at Pentecost, using the words that they were baptized "en and soon after the day of Pentecost."

Army, Washington. .D, C.: GLNLILAL: The further report o f Cul. Baker, in reference to the punishment of the Piegan Indians, has not yet been re. eeivadt keens* strange that there should lie such a want of knowledge of the po sition which army officers have to main. tain in reference to Indian affairs. I have in my command at least five, thou Sand nines of frontier selktements, my chief and only duty being to give protec tion to the families residing on these long lines against the outrages of Indians, The Government tills Invited these settlers by opening the lands to them for pre.emp. tion and improvement. The number of men, women and children on this extended frontier is very great, and there la not a day, from one year's end to the other, that these fault. lies are exempt from the fearful thought of being murdered in the most fiendish manner; the men - scalped, the women ravished, and the brains of the children dashed out. • When I said, in a previous letter, that SOO had met that fate since 1962, I was below the figure, and should have said 1,200. My duties are to protect these people. I have nothing to do with the Indians; but, in this connection, there is scarcely a day fii which I do not receive the most heartrending appeals to save set • tiers ft - um the cruel fate which may Come upon them, and lem forced to the al• ternatlve of choosing whether 1 shall re. gird their appeals, or allow them to be butchered, in order to save myself tram the hue and cry of people who know not the Indians, and whose families have not the fear—morning, noon and eight—of being ravished and scalped by them. The wife of the man at the center of wealth, civilization and refinement is not more dear to him than is the wile of the pioneer of the frontier. I have so heal. union in making my choice. lam going to stand by the pimple over vsjiom 1 em placed, and glee them what protection I can. We have not the troops.to place at each man's }mese to defend it, and have sometunea to take the offensive, to punish for crimes already committed, in order to prevent the perpetration of ethers. In taking the offensive I have to select that season when I can catch the fiends, sad if a village is attacked, and women and children killed, the responsibility is not with the soldiers, but with the people 'Lose crimes necessitate the attack. During the war, did any one hesitate to attsck_a village or town occupied by the enemy because women or children were within the lines Did we -cease to throw shells Into Vicksburg or Atlanta bs.canee women and children were there? If the women and children were saved in therm places it was becauee they had cellars to go into; and should any el the women and children of the Organs have lost their lives I sincerely regret that they had not similar places ot resort, though I doubt if they would have availed them selves of them, for they fight with more fury than the men. Tee soldiers do not want to kill Indians. After long years. ot frontier service, I em satiated that they are the only good practical friends the Indiana have. • We care not about taring abused by one side or the other. If we enure :the. de. fenceless people on the tiontier •to he scalped and ravished •we ace burnt'n effigy and execrated as souless maravers, Insensible to Ike sufferie-a et . humanity. If the Indian is punished , ' to give security to the people, we are the same sonless monsters from the other side. This is a bad predicament to be in, but, ae f have said, 1 have made my choice, and .I ins going to stand by the people whom the Government placed me here to protect. The reservation is the last ditch of the wild Indian, but to get him there he must be fired on by the troops. Those who think be can be induced to go there by other means are mistaken. When on the reservation he will -have to be kept there by the presence of the troops, and thus become tangible for the good work of civilization, and ho can only be pro tented in his rights while there by the troops keeping off the emigrants who en croach on hie land. All these points are practically exhibited each year. a The Cheyennes, Arrapahoes, Camelot, es, Ktowas, and Apaches have just been tired on by the troops. During the lest year, as soon an I withdraw the troops from the Bac and Fox reservations; the emigrants took postessloa; a flood of em. Ignition, almost ten thousand strong, moved in solid mails and occupied the Osage reservation, because there were no_ troops there to keep them off. All the other reservations on which the Indians were set before, will be lost in the same manner unleie guarded by military. Tours truly, P. 11.

As to the clause effecting National Batiks, Mr. Rtalbard, Comptroller of the Cur rency, haa urged the representatives of those institutions to close their opposition and seek relief in legislation from thecae nor cent. on circulation and other taxes. The former is Imposed to defray the ex ponies in the Com_ptroller's office, which Mr. iluriburd says one.eighth of one per cent. would cover. The expenses of that office for the past six years average about $330,000 per annum, while tb product of the one per cent. tax amoun to about $3,000,000. The tax on deposi amounts to more than $3,000,000. In case the banks are required to take the new class of bona, Mr. Murltaird would recommend:that they be relieved at the taxes mentioned, save an amount to de fray the expenses of the Comptroller'e office. Sons people seem to think that the flu ez Canal is only practicable for vessels of comparatively small size, and that con sequently its commerelal advantages will be proportmnately limited.

Ciaflln & Co. are wag ged in an internecine warfare. I St" art, we are told, ill making a terrific raid on nublesched =WU:mend Merrimac priu s. The story goea that during the earlier port of the late war Stewart got bads- frightened about 1:1111gillE, and pnt all lals stock on the market, selling them for what they - would fetch. (.11atlin pre tendW to do the same, but' In reality bought. bock all ha own goods and bougat up all Stewart's. The result was that he got 3i monopoly of the article, and when it rose, as it did almost immediately, Steve- rt had to tiny from Claflin at pretty muc what the latter ehoseito ask. Stew- art h a never forgiven Obtain for this, bat hast:7 6 en husbanding his forces and wait ing p ticritly for an opportunity to strike a cruithing blow in return. This he ap parently thinks he has found, and is ac-, cordingly pushing his columns of muslin t and I , errimanfoW rard to the attack. ds a een rap attack he massed his Merrimacs at ten cents a yard, when they 'were sold -by th manufacturers at twelve and hur ried trm upon the market. The result is sal to have been that the Merrimac 1 men struck his - name from their books and rdfused to sell him any more goods. ' Stewart is reported to have immediately procured a supply through a distinguished Philadelphia firm. Through their abun dant 'caution, however, the Merrimac people had put a private mark on the goods (sold by them to this firm. Their emissaries bought some of the goods from Stewart, found the ; mark, reported to headquarters and the Philadelphia firm has alio born struck from the Merrimac people's books. Mr.Slatlin is reported to her - lolly. alive to 'the situation. The practleal result of the war is a terrible Rutter among the dry goods people, and a gcner l assertion that if Mr. Stewart con tinue 4 his raid he will ruin pretty touch every 7mpOrter and jobber in the city.
