SENATOR BEN. HILL SPEAKS. He Enlightens the Mind of S, B. Chit= tenden in Regard to Southern Aims and Purposes—An Excellen. Contribution to Political Literature. - - . 3 i % In reply to an ogen letter addressed to him by Mr. S. B. Chittenden, of New York, Senator Hill, of Georgia, has written the following letter: , : _WASHINGTON, October 15, 1879. DEAR MR. CHITTENDEN: I have read your open letter addressed to myself and published in the Tribune of the 4th inst. You were entitled to the courtesy of a prompt reply, but divers engagements have worked a delay which I know your good nature will pardon. I am glad you are getting well of your physical hurt, and congratulate you on your escape. I have made no summer speeches in Georgia. I made a few remarks very unexpectedly at Tammany Hall on the Fourth of J ulir, and it must be to this xs§i;:>eecn you refer, as I have made no other during the summer or since the adjournment of Congress. I have been quietly but with more than usual solicitude watching the course of political events, and have been studying to understand as accurately asl could the real temper of the North toward the South and the Constitution, together with the cause, the tendency and the probable final effect of that temper upon our sectional relations and governmental institutions. However much we may differ on some questions of policy, I believe you will do me the justice to admit that I am in the habit of speaking, when I speak at all, precisely what I think on all subjects. The impression made upon my mind by the study alluded to is not a pleasant one. T will frankly say that at no period of our Union, as it seems to me, have the Northern people 80 greatly or so unjustly distrusted the Southern people, nor do I think there ever was a generation at the North who so little undergtood the Constitution or so little regarded that Constitution as our bond of union. I.do not mean to be offensive, but I do mean to be candid when I say that to berate and misrepresent the South, and to misinterpret and ignore the Constitution seems to be the two subjects which absorb the hearts and minds of the Republicans of the North, and to which all other subjects are held as subordinate. Your own letter furnishes strong confirmation of this sad fact. Yousay: * Your (mf'?) candidate for Governor—who is an exellent man, t])(y the way—says that the election (in New ork) ‘ concerns only State affairs,” but everybody laughs at him for saying it.” What! laugh at a man for saying that State officers are elected to attend only to State affairs? You goon: ‘** The common feelin§ seems to be that the election is not only of National interest, but that is also the final battle with rebellion; the climax of bitter sectional strife and probable gateway to comparative good feeling and assured National prosperity.” Battling with rebellion in a ‘State election for only State officers in New York nearly fifteen years atterthe war has ended? Pardon me, my friend, but this far exceeds Falstaft’s battle with his imaginary but constantlf' increasing foes ‘in buckram!” Nevertheless you seem to write correctly tne views-of your party in New York and throughout the North. I attended a Republican meeting in Cooper Institute on the night of the 4th inst.—the night of the day your letter appeared. The meeting was-called to ratify the Republican nominations for State oflicers. After some sensible remarks by the Chairman we had two elaborate, evidently prepared and, I will add, able speeches, as that word able goes. In these two speeches made to help the election of State officers there was not a single allusion to State affairs. Not one. With a single exception (not a singular exception, by the way) the poor, rebellious, barbarous and solid South was the only theme! This exception was really noteworthy and commanded my full attention. The speakoi made what he called a Constitutional argurient in which he undertook, in behalt of absolute Nationalism, to give a meaning to the Constitution which 1 am sure never occurred to its framers nor to any of the great expounders of that instrument in the two generations that succeeded its framers, and then added that ‘*if his construction was not the correct one he was in favor of tearing up the Constitution and consigning it, with the rebellion, to damnation!” Is that what you mean by the *‘ gateway to comparative good feeling and assured National prosperity?’”. lls this ‘‘tearing up’’ process to be the ‘final battle with rebellion?” - The feeling of distrust, abuse and hate of the South in the Republicans of the North exhibits ‘all the symptoms of a mania. It is full of irrelevancy, - irrationality and untruthfulness. Even your local elections for State, county, city and town officers are dominated by this feeling of hatred and distrust ot the South. It is found in your bar-rooms, counting-houses and pulpits. It is beyond reason and, I fear, beyond remedy. I see no evidence that the North *is weary of sectional strife.”” The Republican party lives on and thrives by this sectional strife. Bad men speculate on it and demagogues ply it as the best means of getting oflice. Yousay: *lf there be anything so bedded in our history that it can never be got out it is the fact that Southern ideas and Southern men have gencrally opposed: the American spirit as represented by the pcople who planted and rooted our institutions and thrift in the hard and thorough discipline of New England.”

I had supposed that our thrift as a people was due to the abundance of our cheap fertile lands, the great variety of our productions, the industry of our people, all protected and inspired with hopeful vigor by that unprecedented Constitutional system of dual Federal and local free governments which Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Pinckney, Rutledge and a great number of Southern men had much to do in ‘* planting and rooting’’ in this country. I would.abate not ‘‘one jot ortittle” of the credit to which New England is entitled in fthis work. 1 despise all sectionalism, whether against the North or against the South. I believe no one section of this ¢oun= try is all virtuous or all vicious, and no one section exceeds the other in cither virtues or vices. But it our history teaches any two facts more indisputably than all other facts they are these: : First—That slavery was “?lanted" in this country from Africa and ‘‘rooted” in the South through **the hard and thorough discipline of New England!”’ Second—That secession was both ‘¢ planted and rooted’’ as adoctrine in ouf Constitutional system by New England, and was taught, advocated and threatened as a Constitutional remedy for State grievances by leading New England statesmen many years before it was ever whispered in the South, The first threat of secession was made in the first term of Washington’s Administration. The New England members in Congress had brought forward a proposition for the assumption by the General Government of certain war debts of the States. The Southern States had largely paid their debts, while the debts of the New England States had mostly been bought up at a large discount by speculators, some of whom, a Northern historian tells us, were then in: Congress. ' The proposition was rejected by Southern votes. Great excitement folloewed. New England threatened to secede and Congress could do no business but adjourn from day to day, and its dissolution was imminent, Atthis critical moment Mr. Jefferson arrived at the Capital from a foreign mission. He found Mr. Hamilton pacing up and down in front of his house (or the mansion) in utter despair of the Union. Hamilton explained to Mr. Jefferson the situation and appealed to him “to save the Union.” Jefterson did save it. How! Not by argument, nor by denouncindg the New England members as traitors and criminals, but 11)3' atrade! He proposed a trade by which the New England members got their money and the Southern members got the National Ca%ital located on the Potomac instead of further north. - For two generations afterward the favorite m‘etgnod of Isavl‘ngil the Union was by. gs-iving the Nort the ' 'money and the outh the honors. Under this process the North has ‘grown so great that she insists upon having all the moneg&md all the honors, and upon treating the South as criminals and traitors! My triend; did you refer to this happy faculty of coming out of all contests to save the Union ‘with more money in their pockets when you sxl)oke of *our institutions and thrift being g anted and rooted in the hard and thorough iscipline of New England?’ If so, Junius himself never made-a harder hit, and you must take rank as one of the first, if not the very first of American letter-writers, I congratulate you on your well-won laurels! Again _Kou sa¥: _*“New York has loaned to the South and lost more money there than all the other States.” How much money has New York made out of theSouth? From my earlicst recollection the Southern ml&haw been in the habit of sending nearly all they made to the North and of bu{ing nearly-all tm consumed from the North, and allowing and paying heavy profits both ways. Wm%ew lvork ggretg ;,0 pool her losses and profits with the ou : :

It is a curious fact well worth our study that the South has hot made one dollar either by slavery or slave labor. Indeed, the state of the account shows that the South has lost untold millions both by slavery and slave labor, while the North has made and pocketed eyery dollar of profit there was in slaver{' or that was realized on the preducts of slave labor! The North sold the slaves to the South and then, keefmg the price, denounced the idea of property in‘ human beings as barbarous. Because the South defended the title she bot;!iht and Fnid for in the very manner which New England had taught was Constitutional she is denounced as rebellious and traitorous!

You are a great and successful merchant. Will you do me the kindness to cast up the figures and tell me how many billions of money New York and Massachusetts and Pennsylvania have made out of slavery and the products of slave labor? If you will work this sum I think we’will all be able to understand your boast when you say: ‘‘New York is now the finanicial center of Neorth America, and will soon be the ;freatest money power in the whole world.” Will such a great and rich State, in whose prosperity I rejoice, still insist upon treating as rebels and traitors the people who have done and are still doing so much to ine orease her wealth and power? Will a State which has so much wealth forgot her own State affairs in electing her own State officers in a mad purpose to keep up a sectional fight with the impoverished South? Insanity, my friend, insanity |—the insanity of hate! May it not prove to be the very devil of final disunion! Yousay I “will not care to deny that the South is firmly united in a bold andy persistent purpose to control the Federal Government in the name of the Democratic party.” I do deny it, though the charge is so absurd that it scarcely merits a denial. I fear a friendly remark I made to you during the Presidential count to the effect “*that the North was wise in spending so much bleod and treasure to keep the South in the Union, as I doubted whether the North could maintain Constitutional Government without the aid -of the South,” has unnecessarily alarmed you. The South does not seek to control either the North or the Federal Government, but the South does greatly desire to see both the North and the South restored to the control ofthe Constitution—the Constitution of Madison, of Webster and of the Suprems= Court. The South will seek to exercise no power except that to which she is entitled under the Constitution, and that power she desires to exercise solely for the peace and prosperity of the whole country. Allow me to add that this bugaboo of Southern domination is not creditable either to the manhood or the intelligence of the Republican party. The South is and must remain the weaker section. She has no interest in sectionalism, but every interest in true Constitutional Nationalism. The South can have strength in the future only in advocating the soundest- of sound principles for the National credit, the National honor and the National grosperity, and in sending her ablest men to ongress to maintain such principles. But you say the South votes solid with the Democratic party. Why? Solelff because the Republican party will not allow any Southern man to support the Republican party and preserve his seif-respect. The whole policy of the Republican party since the war has been based upon the assumption that the Southern people are the criminals and must confess themselves ‘to be criminals. Inyour letter addressing myself you say: ‘“You, yourself, in all your strength, cannot stand for a moment, or live, with your constituents if you say that the rebellion was a crime:.”’ . Speaking for myself, I never did believe in gecession as either a doctrine or a remedy under the Constitution. But from the beginning much abler men than I am have taught it was both. Some of the framers of the Constitution so taught. Many of the ablest men of New England so taught. The Southern people believed theg had a right to secede, and that the peace of the country and their own safety demanded its exercise. They did not intend to make war on the Government, as Republican demagogues so flippantly charge. The attempt by the Republicans to treat an act which grew out of honest differences of opinion as a traitorous i‘ebellion against the Government is as unmanly as it is untruthful. But the Republican party not only insists that the Southern people are all traitors but that they shall confess themselves to be traitors. The result is that no Southern man can affiliate with the Republican party without confessing himself a criminal and agreeing to treat all his own people-as criminals. By such confession he would show himself unfit to be trusted by any party. By this policy of the Republican party everything decent in the South is driven into.the Democratic party, and then the Re§ublican party raises the cry for a ‘‘solid orth against the solid South!”’

I do not know what else may happen in the future, but this much Ido know: Come what may, the Southern people. will never confess themselves traitors. Their children willnever confess it, and if the intelligent people of the North shall see pro Fer to solidify - and keep the sectional Republican party in power until this confession shall be made, then your hope of only one more year of sectional agitation is the dream of a distempered brain and a cordial reunion is hopeless. The Southern people aban= don, and abandon forever, both secession and slavery. They admit that superior physical force has settled what argument was unable to 3ettle. They accept in good faith the Constitutional Amendments. They desire to exercise only their proportion of power, under the Constitution and laws. They neither desire, nor will they allow if they can prevent it, any more civil or sectional wars. This they abundantly proved to all fair-minded men. in the Presidential count. They will not under any circumstances ‘‘ starve’’ the Government nor seek any control over the North. Butthey intend to preserve their self-respect, and to deserve the respect of all brave and honorable men everywhere and for all time, and this they cannot do by confessing themselves to be criminals, as thée Republican party has demanded and still demands. Now, my friend, what are you intelligent men in the North going to do about it? Will you insist upon kee—zging the South golid by demanding theéir self-dishonor, and then insist upon making the North solid be¢ause the South refuses self-degradation at your demand? . il Well, suppose you succeed? Suppose you succeed, by your absurd and impossible stories of unnatural outrages at the South, in making every man in the North hate and distrust every man in the South? Will that break the Solid South? Will that allay sectional strife? ‘Will that bring peace to the country, prosperity to the Nation or perpetuity to the Union? ¥ have always believed the secessionists were the most damaging enemies the South ever had. But they did not intend damage. They intended to relieve the conscienceof the North on the subject of slavery and preserve their own property on their own responsibility. They were mistaken, but they were not traitors. I equally believe that the Republican party is the most dangerous enemy the Union ever had. It lives onsectionalism. It teaches the North to hate the South, and compels the South to hate the North. If the people of the ‘North are not capable of seeing the end of such a policy, they are incapable and unworthy of free government. The Southern people lost fortune, fame and power by the war. Here and there a man may be found who, by reason of his connection with the war, has reached positions for which he would never otherwise have been thought of, but there are very few such. It would be unnatural for such a peog}e to desire furthersectional strife. But at the North there are thousands of men who have made fortunes by the war, and many have made fame and power. thfy are adulated who but for the mere luck of war would never have been known. Millionaires are on every hand who but for the war would be paupers. Is it unnatural for men who have made so much by war not to regret its occur rence nor to deprecate anotl:ner?g’l{m{y not very many others who see these examlp es of war fortunesnatumll{ desire or be willing to have like good luck? 'ls it strange that leaders who bave grown rich am?\gowerful b{vsectionalism should desire to make a Solid North against a Solid South, and thus perpetuate their fortunes and power? But it will be strange if an intelligent people cannot penetrate such a transparent f;urpose and prevent its accomplishment. hope and believe the Br‘esent will prove a year of purgation to the Democracy, and cleansing the aﬁ&rty of its internal feuds and its running er issues, will recall it to sound fprinciples and a healthy condition for 1880. If so, we shall be able to present a man for the I’residencx_ whose nomination will be an honor to the party, whose election will be an honor to the people, and whose wise and patriotic Administration will inspire confidence in all good men, will -maintain the National honor and the National credit and advance both; from whose presence rogues will retire abashed, and under whose influence sectionalism will wither forever. Will' my good friend, Mr. Chittenden, for whom I have the highest personal regard, support such a man? Very truly yours, BENJ. H. HiLL. The Hon. S. B. Chittenden, Brooklyn, N. Y.

—A neat little charcoal sketch appears in the columns of a St. Louis journal. As a justice of the peace was sitting in his office and biting off the end of the second cigar, a man covered with charcoal gx*%me tumbled over the chair nearest the door and asked how much it would cost to be married. The price was too high. The poor but ‘honest bridegroom said that he lived in Jefferson County, that he and his intended had come to the city peddling charcoal, and wanted to get back as man ahd wife. A barrel of charcoal was still on hand, and this was offered as the marriage fee. The kind-hearted justice concluded that it would be a good thing to make them man and wife, and the barrel of charcoal was dumped into the cellar, according to lagreeme“nt. , L ain

The Army—General Sherman’s Annual Report. ! % : WASHINGTON, November 8, General Sherman’s annual report to the Secretary of War was completed to-day. It is prefaced with the usual tabular statements and returns compiled by the Adjutant-General, commenting on which General Sherman says: : “The eleven Generals, 1,559 officers, 20,564 men and 233 Iniddian scouts, together with such officers of the staff as are assigned by the War Department to duty with the troops, constitute the army proper, or the ‘combative force.” All other parts of the military establishment are provided by law for special service more or less connected with the army or militia, but are not available for frontier defenses. Thus, for instance, the 397 enlisted men of the Ordnance Corps are in fact workmen at arsenals; the 162 men of the Engineer Corps are at Willet’'s Point undergoing instruction in torpedo practice, and are not-subject to the Division Commander. 'The 456 men of the Signal Corps are employed in observing the weather or in working telegraphs. The 114 Ordnance Sergeants have charge of old forts or fixed magazines. The 151 Commissary Sergeants are in charge of stores; 187 men are Stewards of hospitals. The West Point detachment, 186 in number, is localized . at the Military Academy. The prison guard at Fort Leavenworth comprises seventy men, and recruiting detachments absorb 1,707 men at Davis Island, Columbus, 0., and Jefterson Barracks, "Mo. These various detachments, aggregating 3,463 enlisted men of the highest grades, compose about one-sixth part of the enlisted men provided by law for the whole army, leaving but 20,799 for actual service. * 1 mention these figures in some detail, because 1 know that it is the popular belief, shared by many members of Congress, that we have 25,000 men on duty. I have done all in my power to reduce these detachments to ‘the lowest number possible, so as to aftord more men to our skeleton companies, but bave found it impossible, and I notice that sunilar detachments are reported on all army returns for fifty years back. There are 430 companies -in the regular army; 25,000 men ‘would give fifty-eight to each, which is as small as any company should be, and I earnestly recommend. that you ask Congress to so legislate that the 25,000 men provided by law may be allowed exclusively, tor regiments of the line, and that special pro—§ vision be made for these several detachments, as has already been done for the Signal Service. The army cannot, with justice, be held responsible for the work ot 25,000, when so large a fractionis necessarily diverted to other uses, perhaps of equal National importance.” The tubles above referred to show that the grand aggregate of the army roll is 2,187 officers and 24,262 men in service, and 388 officers retired. ¢ : i - General Sherman devotes a large portion of his report to the Ute troubles. He introduces the subject with a history of the tribe. These Indians, he says, are of the worst class, and occupy the roughest part of our country for farming, grazing, or military operations. Their management is complicated by the fact that their country is known to possess mineral deposits, which attracts a bold and adventurous class of white men. They are very warlike, and have no difficulty in procuring in exchange for their deer-skins, horses and sheep any amount of the best rifles and ammunition. As long as the game lasts they will not work or attempt farming, except in the smallest and most ridiculous way, and that only by compulsion. The report details at some length the history of the well-known events leading up to the movement by Major Thornburgh’s command, and continues: -« With a knowledge of the result, and to throw as much light on the immediate cause of this war as possible, I give the last letters which passed between Major Thornburgh and Mr. Meeker, and I will here record my judgment that Major Thornburgh was an oflicer and gentleman of whomn the army has reason to be proud. He was young, ardent, ambitious, of good judgment, and no man could have done better in life nor met death with more heroism. . :

THORNBURGH TO MEEKER. ¢ HEADQ RS WHITE RIVER EXPEDITION. CAMP ON FORTIFICATION CREEK, } September 25, 1879. ¢ ¢Mr. Meeker, Indian Agent, White River Agency. : ; “Sir:—ln obedience to instructions from the General of the Army, I am en route to your Agency, and expect.-to arrive on the 29th inst., for the purpose of affording you any assistance in my power, and to malke arrests at your suggestion, and to hold as prisoners such of your Indians as you desire until investigations are made by your Department. 1 have heard nothing detinite from your Agency for ten days, and do not know what state of affairs exists, whether the Indigns will leave at my approach or show hostilities. 1 send this letter by Mr., Lowry, oneof my guides, and desire you to communicate with me as soon as possible, giving me all the information in your power, in order that J may know what course [ am to pursue. I{ practicable; meet me on the road at the earliest moment. . - ‘¢ Very respectfully, lour obedicnt servant, AP T, THORNBURGH.' MEEKER TO THORNBURGH. “To this Agent Meeker replies, under date September 27, as follows: . #¢Slr: Understanding you are on the way hither with United States troops, I send a messenger, Mr. Eskridge, and two Indians, Henry (interpreter) and John Ayersly, to inform you that the Indians are greatly excited and wish you to stop at some convenient camping place, and then that you and five soldiers of your command come into the Agency, when a talk and a better understanding can be had. This 1 agreeto. I de mot propose to order your ‘movements; but it seems for the best. The Indians seem to consider the advance of the troops as a declaration of real war. In this I am laboring to undeceive them, and at the same time to convince them that they cannot do whatever they please. The first object now is to allay apprehensions. Respectfully, “¢N. C. MEEKER, Indian Agent.’ THORNBURGH 'S REPLY. 4Under date of September 28, Major ?_‘hornburgh writes -to Agent Meeker as folOWS : : t¢SlRr: I shall move with my entire command to some convenient camp near, and within striking distance of your Agency. reaching such point during the 29th. I shall then halt and encamp the troops, and proceed tothe Ageney with my guide and five soldiers, as communicated in your letter of the 27th inst. Then and there I will be ready to have a conference with you and the Indians, so that an understanding may be arrived at, and my course of action determined. I have carefully considered whether or not it would be advisable to have my command at a point as distant as that desired by the Indians, who were in my camp last night, and have reached the conclusion that, under my orders, which require me to march this command to the Agenc% lam not at liberty to leave it at & point where it would not be available in case of trouble. You are authorized to say for me to the Indians that my course of conduct is entirely de{:endent on them. Our desire is to avoid trouble, and we have not come for war. I'requestedyouinmy letter of the 25th to meet me on the road before I reached the Agency. I renew my request that you do so, and further desire that you bring such Chiefs as may wish to accompany you. : i . MEEKER TO THORNBURGH. “Under date one Pp. m., September 29, Agent Meeker replied: : ,}- “:PDrAR SIR: I expect to leave in the morning with Douglass and Serrick to meet you. Things are peaceable, and Douglass flies the United States flag. If you have trouble in getting through the canyon to-day let me know. We have been on guard three nights and shall be to-night, not because we know there is danger, but because there may be. I like your last programme. It is based on true military principles.’ I “ I give these letters entire because I believe that Major Thornburgh acted from the bc%i{nning to the end exactly right. So did Mr, Meeker, and the crimes afterward committed rest wholly on the Indians.” L The report then recites the events inéident to the death of Major Thornburgh, the killing of Lieutenaut Wier, and the murder of Agent Meeker, and embodies various dispatches and military orders relating to subsequent movements of the troops. ‘ ; EXISTING ORDERS. : “The following dispatch will show the objects aimed at, and are the orders existing at this moment of time: P ‘ S “HEADQUARTERS OF THE Knuv, } ; WASHINGTON, D. C., October 24. L % ¢t General P. H. Sheri&an, Commanding Divi- ' sion, Chicago: - i LR ‘¢ have received your three dis?atcil:es of yesterday, a'ivi%’s .an account of the killing of Lieutenant Wier, and of the strength of your forces at White River and Forts Garland and Lewis. All theseseem strong enough, and are well commanded. Let all 'grexmmtiens proceed, and be ready the moment I give the word to Pitch. in. Should Agent Adams fail in his mission, I understand the civil authorities will stand aside, and the military will take absolute control of this whole Ute (luestion and settle it for good and all. Meantime, humanity to the captive women and the fﬁendiz Utes, even of the White River Agepcy, justi fied this seeming w‘vte of time, B ; . . T. SHERMAN, General’

* Allthe world now knows that Special-Agent General Charles Adams, of Colorado, appointed by the Secretary of the Interior to conduct these negotiations with the hostile Utes, has partially succeeded in his mission, has obtained the surrender of Mrs. and Miss Meek-_ er, Mrs. Price and two children, who are already safe with their friends. He is now supposed to be again with -the hostiles on Grand River, endeavoring to effect the other conditions required of the Utes by the honorable Secretary of the Interior, who is primaﬂlty Tesponsible for: the entire management . of the case. I certainly applaud the courage and ener%yﬂthus far displayed by General Adams, and hope he will fully and completely succeed in his praiseworthy mission, and yet I believe that prudence demands that the military preparations and precautions shall not slacken. Thus far we have lost eleven citizens, two officers and twelve soldiers killed, and forty-one wounded. The Indians admit a loss of thirtynine warriors killed, so that they. have not much reason to boast.” -g, - The report next treats of the Apache raid,. and states that troops are‘in pursuit, but nothing definité can be given as yet. The Apaches,” the General says, only resort to the Agency to rest, recuperate and make ready for the next war. He infers that as soon as winter comoes they will return to their agencies and be good. , General Sherman refers at some length to last summer’s incursions of Indians from Sitting Bull’s camp, and kindred subjects, and remarks that some more permanent security must be found than results from the good will of ourneighbors. He therefore recommends that Congress be asked to appropriate $lOO.OOO to comé)lete Fort: Assiniboine, and $200300 to build a new post near Wood Mountain, and says: ‘“lnthis connectionTl also beg to submit my conviction that very soon the progress of events will make it absolutely "necéssary to move all the Indians now locatedson the Upeer Missouri—viz.:. Tine - Arickarees, Gros entres, Piegans, “‘Bloods and Crows, to the Sioux reservation below Cannon Ball Creek, and to open to actual settlers all the land in glc region north and west of that reservaon.’”’ ; i e L General Sherman reports a highly satisfactory condition of affairs in the Department of Texas, especially -along the Rio Grande frontier. The large immigration which has poured into Texas having now extended to what were Tormerly her waste lands, the rémoval of some of the frontier posts further west'is neces-sary,-and General Sherman therefore indorses the recommendation made to him by General Ord for Congressional appropriations to construct military posts. on {the new western frontier. e Jol e Referring to the troubles caused during the past year by the attempted emigration to the Indian Territory from the southern border of Kansas, General Sherman says: * The delicate duty imposed on the military was admirably performed by the troops under the order of General Pope. The opinion is expressed that at least thirty superfluous military posts might be sold to great advantage.” - The report in conclusion - treats of- the subjgct of military education, and after referring to-the artillery school at Eortress Monroe and academy at West Point, . says: ‘‘Similar schools should be established * and maintained for cavalry and infantry. These have repeatedly been attempted at Forts Leavenworth and Snelling, but no sooner have they ‘been begun than some Indian outbreak has imperatively ocalled away thé troops, so that at this time we have nothing of the kind. But the day must come when schools for infantry ‘and cavalry will be established in the nature of a post-graduate course, and if possible for instruction in the use of the rifle and horse, before your officers ard recruits are pushed into battle and danger.” :
