FROM THE FAR WEST. ----- COLORADO TERRITORY ----- Army Life on the Plains—The Pacific Railroad—Its Progress Westward —The Danger from the Indlans— Their Depredations on the Settlements—The Weather—A Philosophical View of the Indian Character— The Absence of Timber—The Fertility of the Soil. ----- OPPOSITE FORT SEDGWICK, } NORTH BANK SOUTH PLATTE, } COLORADO TER., March 4. 1867. } I posted a long letter on the 24th of February, which I hope was received, as it was written under difficulties, and one naturally wishes the object in view in that case to be attained, which was its reception by you. The incident of our lives here worth mentioning are few and unvaried. Each successive day is like its predecessor. No new arrivals in this vicinity, very few visitors, not many mails and a still smaller number of papers, and not a single issue of any other periodical reaches us. Shortly we shall be better off as regards mails and printed matter. The excessively cold weather and the heavy snows have been interrupting communication by the New Northwestern Road, which is not fully prepared and equipped for heavy operations, or a big busi= ness over its latest sections. These obstacles and the season will soon be at an end, the mails will be regular, and we—at least I—shall have ordered some periodicals. If there is some little interval between the date of publication and that of reception by us, we must philosophically resign ourselves to the necessary and inevitable. The Pacific Road will be finished up to this point by the 1st of July. It is already graded forty miles this side of North Platte, which is only ninety-five miles from here. The remaining fifty or sixty miles 'requires little more work than the laying and ballasting of the road. The immediate valley of the river, along which the road is to run, is a uniform plain, with not a single interruption of any size that I can remember. How far the route continues of that description beyond this place I know not. It is expected to be finished to a point opposite, and as near to Laramie as the road passes, this Fall. That is 225 miles beyond this, so the route, must be tolerably easy so far. But on the other; side of that point, heavier grading commences, and must increase in magnitude as the road progresses. On the Northwestern road from Chicago to Council, Bluffs, opposite Omaha, the grading chiefly consists of more or less depth, through the,rolling prairies; and from Omaha, on the Pacific road, a very perceptible and uninterupted [sic] upgrade is observable, from the rear platform of the cars, looking backward. Continually flat as is the Platte Valley, the grade must still be a constant : ascent, and geographers would no doubt tell us we are at astonishing height above the sea—and we shall very soon be higher—yet I do not fear that my hair can be lifted without my head accompanying the scalp. The accommodating rancheros, or occupiers of houses along the trail, affording, forage, wood and sutlers' stores to travelers, always tell alarming tales of the Indians, and are fond of giving alarming representations of Indian prowess, and of how exceedingly efficiently armed they are—"as well armed as you are"—which is not near the truth, for the settlers contradict themselves, by talking of their proficiency in me use or their arrows, and how dangerous the latter, are. The Indians, though. have more fire-arms than they ought to have, through the foolish leniency of the

through the foolish leniencey of the Government allowing the sale of arms and ammunition to "friendly" bribes; and also through the avarice of those very settlers, as well as of other traders. These settlers talk of the dangers from the savages, yet seem to live at a distance from protection and with.little or no means of defence about them.

The railroad is about to destroy the at least for some years, until they had made their pile. Cattle are occasionally driven off from these men by the tribes. One cavalry squad was out after the stock thieves when we arrived here, and another is out now. The first expedition met with no success, and came back a great part of their number with badly frozen extremeties. The party at present out are likely also to return in the lattter condition, as it is now very cold, blowing a gale, and snowing heavily. The expeditions I mean, went out from Sedgwick, where there are two companies of the Second Cavalry, and I think two of the Thirty-Sixth Infantry, formerly one of the battalions of the Eighteenth under the old organization of the regular army. The river was beginning, to break up before this cold spell, which was inconvenient .as all our forage .and wood supplies come from the other side; but the crossing, though difficult, was not dangerous, as the depth is no place more than belly deep for the animals, and even that for a very short distance though from bank to bank it is full eight hundred yards. Blustery and severe as is the weather, I am tolerably comfortable, having a good fire of pine knots or branches in my sheet-iron stove, and a

profit and usefulness of their stop- ping places, and many of them would probably be glad to check its progress,

warm bed with buffalo robes and

blankets to retire to, when I finish this letter. The guard, though, has an unenviable duty to-night, as well as during all such weather. But such are the necessary hardships of a soldier's life, and such are the services he must render for his freedom from the care of business and of civil life. About the Indian, I repeat here what I said in my last. The natural man is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked." [sic]. He MUST give place, die, or "go out" before the incoming of the cultivated man; of the man who has accepted the revelation of man's true destiny. Such is nature and such is the revealed law. "As they sow so must they reap." The Indian wills to continue sowing the wind; he must reap the whirlwind. The Indian has all the virtues of the brute, but in him what are the virtues of inferior animals, become vices in the natural man, while they have none of the virtues <which are the result solely solely> of CULTIVATION. There is nothing necessarily bad in nature, but there is nothing good in man; nothing, unless his faculties are properly directed, which is possible only by training. The Indian will not be taught to shape, to control and develop his faculties, and all history attests, if the nature of things does not teach, that those who will not, must submit to or disappear before those who will, to those who do. The Indian, like the lower animals, seized whatever, he covets. He takes possession of or destroys the property and life of his fellows whenever the impulse is upon him and his interest seems to demand. He must learn that life is sacred, and that property and the right to subsistance must be earned. He must learn that the universal requirements of man is labor; that the inevitable result of labor is growth and developments, plenty and content; and that in contact with cultivation its absence is as certainly death and destruction. The natural man is simply an upright brute with superior carpal extremities. He has no abiding place appointed for him in the universe. May his place soon be filled by God's people everywhere by those who obey the laws of labor, of growth, and of progress. We have not seen a stiver of the wooded country of Colorado, nor a trace of its gold-bearing mountains. The immediate valley of the Platte is bordered about a mile, more or less, from the stream by a continuous range of sand hillocks, called Devil's Bluffs. They are too sandy to be anything else than sterile, and between them and the river the soil is of a similar nature. Adjacent to the river it is said also to be so impregnated with alkaline salts as to be unfit for cultivation, if there were no other reasons for sterility. Stilt, most of all the plains are rich soils, and capital irrigation and cultivation will, at no distant day, make them lands flowing with milk and honey, as well as abounding with variety of verdure, including plantations of wood, which is now a serious desideratum. Certainly, not irremediable as some believe. D. ---<>--- Income Tax. The following is the form of making income returns for 1866, under the-new law,.
