TREATMENT OF THE INDIANS.
Years ago, when a student at George -
town College, D. C., we had the pleasure of
meeting the famous Catholic missionary,
Father De Smet. He was then in the
prime of life and represented tl»c fervid,
zeal of that wonderful Society of Jesus,,
which lias played so conspicuous a part in
the civilization and instruction of tin
world. Since the days of Francis Xavier,
the apostle of the Indies, lew men have ap
pealed, even in the illustrious ranks of the
Jesuits, who have shed such undying lustre
upon the Catholic Church as that of Fatln r
De S-met, universally beloved by the savage
tribes of the far West and universally
known and recognized by them and by their
pale-faced brethren as the Apostle of the
Indians. Engaged in his pious labors and
remote from the haunts of busy life, his
name did not frequently appear in the
journals of the day. Indeed, in tiie
hurly-burly of civil war and the an
gry epoch subsequent to Lee’s sur
render, lie passed from the memory of men.
When, however, the Pacific Railroad began
to posh the Indians farther and farther to
ward the sea and embroil them with tiie
grasping encroachment of . headlong Anglo-
Saxons ; when hostilities commenced and
outrages were perpetual; when a death
grapple for existence fired tiie red man to
defend his hunting grounds against tiie
trader and the soldier, Father DeSmet
comes forward as the apologist of his be
loved tribes and strives to check tiie re
morseless cruelties practised upon them in
the name of progress and enlightenment.
His conference with General Sherman has
created a profound sensation in the North.
As a detailed account of this conference is
too lengthened for our columns, we com
mend the following remarks concerning it
to the Christian people of tiie Bouth, whose
individual misfortunes will permit them to
sympathize with a brave, unfortunate and
persecuted race. These ‘-remarks, copied
from the Missouri Republican , breathe the
spirit of charity and peace, and are as fol
lows :
The deeply interesting statements of
Father De Smet, made to the Indian Peace
Commission, at Leavenworth, have been
read, we trust, by a large portion of the;
American people and have lei't upon tliei r
minds the impression which they are so
well calulated to create. They show what
may be done with the Indians by a kind,
sensible and conscientious treatment. —
There in the case of a single indlvidual-r
--animated by religious enthusiasm and a
ldve of souls —it is shown to be possible to
live among the Indians as safely as in the
safest haunts of civilization, to gain and re
tain their confidence, and to secure an in
fluence over their minds and consciences,
so as to make a complete reform in their
characters anil to lead them forward to the
acquirement of the Christian virtues and
the habits of civilized industry. “Thirty
years,” said this really great and good man,
“ have I been among them and have yet to
receive the flrst insult at their hands.”—
They receive teaching kindly and are anx
ious to learn. They can be made as easily
as any race of men to abandon their habits
of wanton warfare—of war for the sake of
■war —and they can be induced to ply the
instruments of peaceful and honest labor,
lie went among them alone or almost un
accompanied. They met him, not as an
enemy, and apparently with no prejudice
beyond tire prudent precaution of trying
his character by his conduct. He was not
slow in convincing them that he was their
friend, nor were they slow in repaying
this friendship by corresponding demon
strations of regard and kindness. When
they found out, as they gradually did, how
good a man this excellent priest, how true
a friend of theirs he was, how anxious he
was to benefit them, ami how much of what
was worthy to be known and to be prac
tised he was able and ready to teach them,
there were no bounds to the gratitude and
love which these simple sons of the forest
bore him. That is an affecting story which
the good father tells of the care with which
they cherished his movable chapel for so
long a time during one of his absences—
carrying it along with them iu their jour
neyiugs with the respect and reverence
with which the children of Israel bore
along with them the Ark of the Covenant.
And what did this noble apostle to tiie In
dians of the far West not accomplish ? Ifi»
received no aid from the Government. His
appeals were made to his church and to in
dividual benevolence. With the means
thus obtained —and they were not large—
he commenced the work of civilizing these
Indians, by trying to bring them to adopt
fixed habitations. How simple, yet how
full of interest is the good man’s story:
“ When we commenced to till the ground
in the ltocky mountains, we had no assist
ance from Government. We took along
the plows and other implements, and we
made one great common field. They all
worked and helped us ; out of that they
lived under the care of some chiefs, who
divided it. A little later, when we had
more tools, they commenced working the
fields lor themselves. At the present time
they have all their fields divided. They
make little cabins for their wheat. The
tribe referred to are the Flatheads. 1 took
the first stock to the mountains, and made
the Indians presents of cows, sheep and
hogs. They took great care of them, and
began to see at once the advantages. They
are rich in horses. We taught them to
make cheese and butter. They have veget
able gardens and mills to grind their wheat.
The tribes on'tlie mountains very readily
embrace civilization as soon as they see the
effects of it.”
What was accomplished on a compara
tively small scale by a good man could
have moreveasily been done on a much
larger and perhaps a universal one by a
good government. Our Government has
all along had evidence enough to satisfy it
of this. And some attempts have l>ecn
made by it to realize the results obtained
through the philanthropy of a poor priest;
but these attempts have been so irregular
unsystematic, so little perseverance has
been shown in following them up, and above
all so many bad men and evil influences
have been allowed to operate against the
successful working of these Government
schemes, that the good obtained is inflni
testimal compared with the noble possibili-
ties in the power of such a Government as
ours. Here and there a few reservations
would lie the subjects of feeble experiment;
while outside, in the wide Indian range,
there was but the slightest check upon the
operation of ten thousand demoralizing
agencies, which were constantly keeping up
bad relations between the whites and
Indians. The Indians have finally got to
consider nearly every white man as a cheat,
robber and murderer, and our Government
itself as pretty much ail accomplice of their
private enemies. This bad impression has,
no doubt, been greatly strengthened by tiie
fact, certainly not unknown to them, that
we have covered all their possessions with
our States and Territories ; and especially
by the fact, to which they cannot shut their
eyes, that we arc running several roads
through those possessions without having,
it would seem, so far respected the possess
ory rights of the ludians as to ask their
consent to our intrusion on their premises.
It is observable that Father De Smet
does not indicate a favorable opinion of the
plan to locatfc the Indians 011 two large re
servations. He si>eaks of their local at
tachments, and evidently thinks that so far
as possible these feelings should be respect
ed. It certainly looks like a very forcible
‘process, the* compulsion that would bring
together widely distant tribes, entire
strangers to each other, and differing, per
haps, widely in feelings, habits, supersti
tions, &c. Our country is a very wide one.
The Indians are not very numerous. It
' would therefore seem quite possible to mul
tiply the reservations, so as better to group
together tribes somewhat similar to each
other ; and yet have them quite strong
enough to justify the expense necessary to
secure the proper oversight they need. The
number at best would be too inconsiderable
to interfere with the convenieuce of the
whites. Still, if looking at the future it
shall be deemed best to locate them with a
view to tiie formation of Indian Stales who
might, in course of time, if the Indians
showed fitness for it, be incorporated with
die American Union, the considerations
suggested above would have to yield. And
we presume, from what Father De Smet
tells us, that the Indians themselves could
be made to understand what tiie interests
of the United States required, and could be
induced to act conformably.
“ The success of the Reservation scheme,
on which so much depeuds, will turn greatly
upon the agents employed to execute it. If
we could be sure that Government would
employ only such instruments as Father
De Smet, who treads so happily in tiie foot
steps of that old Massachusetts apostle, the
good and learned Elliot, we should feel that
the work was more than half done. We
desire to say nothing invidious in tills con
nection. The Indians have been tiie sub
ject of humane thought and care by various
sects of Christians. But it will hardly be
denied that the Catholic Church lias dealt
with them pliilanthropically on a larger
scale and with a more splendid success than
any other denomination of Christians.—
Perhaps a grander story of Christian be
nevolence lias never been told than we find
in tiie annals of tiie Jesuit missions of South
America. Father De Smet is one among
the many priests of that Church who are
stamped with the true apostolic character.
And we should hope that in tiie selection
of agents for tiie care of tlieSe Reservations,
should we ever reach tiie point of establish
ing them, the choice would fall on men with
their qualifications—men who unite the
harmlessness of the dove with the wisdom
of the serpent.”
“ Before we dismiss this subject, we can
not forbear an allusion to the fact that f lic
Bound Creek massacre, by the monster
Chiviugton, was brought to the attention of
the Commissioners. Perhaps among the
proximate causes of the recent “ Indian
outrages,” this massacre by Chiviugton is
by far the greatest. It was a most coward
ly murder of women and children, at the
time under the protection of the American
flag, by a miscreant, who had the lying
audacity to report it, we believe officially,
as a battle with Indian warriors, in wlii«h
his infamous assassinations —some sixty or
seventy in number—were made to figure as
the killing of some five hundred armed sav
ages. This Chivingtion, before this mas
sacre, had been, and was, we believe at the
time, if lie is not now, a member in good
standing of one of the largest religious con
nections in this country, and a minister of
its gospel. The contrast between these
two ministers of the gospel is most striking.
What an honor/ and glory to the one of
them is De Smet, and what a disgrace and
infamy to the other is Chivington.
Bounding tiik Tocsin. —The Herald con
tinues to give the alarum. On the 27th in
stant it closed an editorial thus:
“ Military government! Negro supre
macy ! These are the ruling ideas that
flash across the Atlantic and ring the death
knell of the Republic upon monarchial
ears. Will the loyal States, East and
West, consent to the overthrow of our in
stitutions in tliis way ? The President
must topple over these barriers which re
tard our march. He must resuscitate tiie
great principles of government which lie
beneath them. He must lift these up into
the new light that re action is pouring
upon the situation. The first necessity is
a new Cabinet. The country cries to him
to clear the wreck.”
Played out Cant. —The Chicago Times
says:
“ The ‘ nigger ’ is no longer an exciting
topic. The Radicals fear themselves that
they have given him an undue elevation.—
The subject of the fearful wickedness of re
bels is becoming stale. The cant, so preva
lent for the last ten years, concerning ‘ the
interests of God and humanity,’ is no long
er interesting. The people are beginning
to turn their attention to high taxes, to
tariff exactions, to official corruption, to a
revival of trade with the South, and gene
rally to the material interests of the coun
try.”
Cheating the Negroes. —The Columbus
Sun vouches lor the following conversa
tion :
J. P. to Chief Registrar of county : “We
want you to send your best men (white
Radicals, of course,) from county .”
C. R. “ Can’t do it, General; tne nig
gers is got the majority in the county and
say tha is gwine to have the offices.”
J. P. “ That foolishness must be stop
ped at once.”
C. R. “ I can’t do it, General.”
J. P. “ Well, I can ; and if one of those
black rascals dares to put himself up for
office let me know, and I’ll put him down.
Go, sir !”
A Chance for Conover.— The Tribune's
Washington correspondent says that the
leading Republican Congressmen arc re
viving the impeachment project, since the
late removals. Some of them, who opposed
impeachment at the late session of Con
gress, say there is no help for it now, that
nothing else is left to them. The prominent
movers in impeachment are busy at work.
Thus we go!

Letter from Gen. Pope.
v
COLLECTION OF DE'BTS NOT TO BE DISTURBED
Headq’rs Third Military District, )
(Georgia, Alabama and Florida.) \
Atlanta, Ga., August 26,1867. )
Dear Sir ; I have the honor to acknowl
edge the receipt of your letter of the 20th
instant, informing me that “ There is a
popular belief, in this part of Georgia, that
you will use your powers, as commander of
this district, to give to debtors greater re
lief from the claims of creditors than they
can get, either from the bankrupt law or
from constitutional legislation under the
provisional government of the State, or
under the government that may be formed
in pursuance of the reconstruction acts of
Congress ; and therefore, some persons de
sire tiie continuance of military rule and
the postponement of reconstruction, as the
only means of relief from their liabilities.”
You ask whether there is foundation for
such an opinion.
In reply, I have to say that I know of no
conceivable circumstances that would in
duct! me to interfere by military orders
with the general business of the State or
with the relation of debtor and creditor
under the State laws, except, perhaps, in in
dividual cases where very manifest iujus
tice had lieen done.
Jiie only military orders which I have
issued, or intended to issue in this district,
are such as I consider necessary to the exe
cution of the reconstruction acts. Ido not
understand those acts to warrant me in
making violent and radical changes in the
ordinary course of civil business, except in
the maimer and for the purposes above in
dicated.
I do not see that the relations of debtor
and creditor and their adjustment in tiie
usual legal manner, have any proper con
nection with tiie enforcement of the recon
struction acts, so long as those relations
are fairly and justly settled by tiie courts
without discrimination as to classes or in
dividuals.
I repeat, then, that under no circum
stances which I can now foresee, will I
issue any such order as you say is hoped
for by the people, and it seems to me that
any each relief as is desired, if it can be
obtained at all, must be looked for to a
State Convention or subsequent legislation
after Reconstruction is accomplished.
The pressure upon me hitherto to issue
an order staying the collection of debts,
has been greater than it is likely to be
again, and whilst I have no doubt the sub
ject is worthy of grave and anxious con
sideration, I do not consider such matters
properly within my province to adjust.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
[Signed] John Pope.

A Quick, Certain, Sure Plan to Reconstruct
the South, Restore Its Prosperity and
Prevent the Possibility of being Ruled by
Negroes and Fanatics.
Every man in the Southern States must
now see that the old plan of large planta
tions must do away with, and to keep such
places, now that the negroes arc free, is
neither practicable nor desirable. Large
plantations, if practicable, are against the
true interests of the South. What they
need is population ; population is political
power and wealth.
That being the case, how are they to
acquire that population ? The answer is
easy. Let every man in the South instantly
subdivide his land into fifty acre tracts, as
near as possible dividing the wooded and
cleared land equally, at any rate giving to
eaeli forty acres live or ten of wood. When
this is done, let them offer in all tiie West
ern States to give to eaeli settler alternate
forty acres of land, requiring no other terms
than that each settler shall bring with him
a team, farming implements and means to
build a house, and live years residence.
In Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and other
Western States, land is wortli from SSO to
$l5O per acre. These lands are out of the
roach of tiie thousands and hundreds of
thousands of young, enterprising and in
distrious men who are looking about for
wives and a future settlement. Open these
alternate forty acres of good, rich lands to
them, and instantly every avenue of travel
will be filled with intelligent, thrifty, prac
tical farmers, going South with their wives,
their horses and improved farming imple
ments to settle on the lands donated them.
We mention Western men because, as con
trasted with a foreign population, they are
skilled farmers and more desirable iu every
way.
Let tliis lie done, and in five years at
most we shall have an overwhelming white
population ruling tiie country, developing
its resources and rebuilding up schools,
colleges, academies, churches and railroads
where now there are none. Let this be
done and we shall soon see a height of pros
perity in the South never dreamed of by
them. The Brownlows, lliiimicutts and
all such fanatics, with their negro votes,
will vanish like tiie mists of morn before
the rising sun. Let this be done, and the
alternate forty acres reserved will be worth
fivefold more than the whole is now. Let
this be done, and tiie South will rise up
again as a ruling power in the land, and
confiscation and excessive taxation will
vanish.
The danger to our plan is this: each and
every man may see it as we do, but the par
simony of each may prompt him to hold on
to all of his lands, hoping his neighbors
may divide out whilst he lioids on to all.—
There lies tiie rub.
Debt and Taxation. —ln a business
point of view the country continues to pre
sent a most singular and anomalous spec
tacle. With abundant crops and a plethora
of money in all the great centers of trade,
there is nevertheless almost unprecedented
stagnation in every department of business.
This state of things is the effect of some un
derlying cause, and the sooner it is fully
understood the better for the county at
large. That it is owing to the enormous
aud incasing burdens of debt and taxa
tion, there can be little doubt, and, from
present indications, matters are rapidly
going from bad to worse. Says the Phila
delphia Age :
The people should understand what it is
costing them to keep the Radical party in
power, and to support the swarm of office
holders and dependents who cling to and
around the organization. During the war,
when men’s passions were excited, when
the Government was a good customer, buy
ing largely, aud at any price, almost all
articles that were for sale in the country,
the masses forgot that pay-day would come.
Money was abundant, the greenback mills
ran smoothly, the farmer sold his hay, and
whet, and oats, and potatoes, aud the mer
chant his goods, while mechanics were em
ployed at full prices, the manufactories and
iron works were crowded with hands and
unlilled orders accumulating upon the su
perintendents’ uooks. When such a state
of facts existed there was some excuse for
not looking at the legitimate result of a
system which was based upou a false prin
ciple, and sure to lead to ruinous results in
the end, But the war is now over, busi
ness is tame and spiritless, iron men are
complaining, cotton and woolen mills arc
stopped or running on half time, crowds bf
idle men are seen in the streets, and now,
at least, we have a right to expect that men
of all parties will look at facts and listen
to plain truths.
Brought to Bay.— The National In
telligencer urging that the Impeachment
schemers be punished, says:
“The rags of fraud with which they
vainly essayed to hide the repulsive naked
ness of their villainy have been tom from
them. They are unable to utter a single
word or syllable yr sound to defend them
selves from the popular scorn and derision,
and the official and judicial condemnation
they have recklessly invoked and justly
merit.”
The Reason Why.—Wendell Phillips
wants a negro for Vice-President, hoping
that the man elected as President will die
Then, by a dispensation of Radical provi
dence, we can have a nigger President.

DILLON’S
PATENT UNIVERSAL
COTTON TIE AND IKON HOOPS.
HIS TIK, with the HOOP complete, weighs no
more than the usual rope used in baling cotton, and
renders an allowance for tare unnecessary. It looses
no slack while putting on, and is so perfect that the
necessity for ltcavy hoops, to make up for deliciencie
in llie TIK, is entirely obviated.
Can be sold by llie pound or ton, as cheaply as the
heavy hoops and less perfect ties. Kach and every
TIK is warranted perfect.
As an evidence of the estimation in which these
TIES are held, we herewith app ltd the certificate of
the Agent of the Central Colton Press in this city. I f
a competent judge can he found anywhere as to the
merits of Iron Ties, this gentleman may surely he so
considered, as he presses thousands of hales of Cotton
every year, and Ties of all patents am constantly pass
ing through his hands.

Savannah, Way 27tli, 1807. S
Messrs E. W. Sims As Co.,
Agents for Dillon’s “ Univuisal 'I ie,” Savannah.
Dkau Sirs : In my business of compressing Cotton,
I have had occasion to examine closely all of the vari
ous Ties foriroa bands u.-ed in baling Cotton, and
pleasure in testifying to tlie superiority overall others
of the *• UNIVERSAL TIK.” It is as easily ad
justed and is much stronger limn any oilier Tie.
A Tie that is not good at the Press is uot good at
tlie Plantation, as nearly all the Cotton is compressed
at the Ports, and a weak Tie must then he replaced by
a good one at the expense of the planter. I have
never seen one of your TIES break, though I pitched
a bale of Cotton secured by thorn out ol a Second
story to the ground without any break to the fall.
Under these circumstances I unhesitatingly recom
mend the “ UNIVERSAL TIK ” to every Planter, as
combining the greatest simplicity, with unequalled
strength.
