Anticipated War en the Western Barder—A ‘Whole Town Destreyed tn Dncntah. ‘The recent news of the defeat of Col. Steptoe by fifteen hundred Indians, and the excited state of a large number of tribes at the North West, leads many to suppose that we are on the eve of serious Mwoubte with our red brethren. In his report at the opening of the last session of Congress, the Commissioner for Indian affairs repre- sented the Indian tribes of Oregon and Washington Territories in a very unsettled state, and predicted from that fact a general outbreak on our North- western frontier. The events now transpiring, not alone in thove regions, but on the borders of Texas, California aid New Mexico, are ominous of a lengthened andexp.en- sive Indian war, which may cost much blood and treasure before it is terminated. Reports frem all these poi.ts, as well as from the Minnesota {-ontier, ‘imdicate serious trouble with the savage tribes all along the borders of civiisation.)..The Indian wars im 1855~'56 cost several mifiions; and in view of the wresent condition of the treasury, another outbreak fs wot to be contemplated without sertous appreben- anion. In Mingesota the Sioux and Chippewas have just ‘renewed the feud which hes existed between these ‘ations for a century and three-quarters, rendering ‘the condition of the wirite settlers extremely unsafe. ‘In the Simcoe velley, at the junction of the Colam- Wie and Snake rivers, Colonel Steptoe’s command, of four hundred men, met @ severe reversg from 1,500 of the Polouse and Snake tribes, on the 16th of May. About the same date a brutal massacre of * Smdian women and children took place at Fort ‘Thorne, in Arizona, by a party of Mexicans, for the ‘purpose of provoking a war, and in all probability a terrible retaliation will be taken for that act. In view of all these facts, it will become necessary for the government to concentrate strong bodies of troops at different points on the frontier to repress ‘the growing spirit of hostility thus manifested by ‘the Indians. ‘Our correspondence from Dacotah, which we pub- lish to-day, describes a fearful attack on the town of Madeira, on the the Big Sioux river, by the Yankton and Ciesidan Indians, who completely burned down ‘the town and carried off $50,000 worth of the pro- perty of the settlers, rendering it necessary for them to appeal to the Governor of Minnesota for military aid. The whole frontier from Minnesota to Califor- Bia is pregnant with danger. It cannot be denied that our Indian policy has hitherto been full of grave mistakes. The red men cannot be bent to our civilization no more than the megroes; and even if it were possible, the mode we have adopted has been a very bad one. They have been exposed to association with the worst classes of ‘white men—heartless and immoral speculators, who mix with them only to cheat and demoralize them. ‘The examples of white civilization which they see around them are calculated to disgust them with its ‘very name, while the cruel frauds that are continu- ally practised upon them, the vices and disease in- troduced into their lodges, and the liquor traffic— that curse of the red man—have all combined not alone to retard their progress but actually to bra- talize them to a degree far below their primitive imple nature. The three greatest obstacles to the progress of our Indian tribes have been the large annuities paid them by the government—the wide limits of the lands allotted to them, and the inter- course of traders and emigrants, with all their scheming and viciousness. It was suggested, we ‘believe, by Mr. Douglas, at the session of Con- gress preceding the last, that the Indians should be gathered into one Territory, where they could be better controlled and governed, and the lands parcelled out to them in severalties forever, of a sufficient number of acres for each to cultivate, whereby their nomadic life might be reformed, and the tribes who are now roaming restlessly over our frontier prairies, almost without boundary to their domain, might have an opportunity of settling down into agriculturists. George Copway suggested a scheme somewhat similar, and many of those who have had the best facilities for studying the subject, are in favor of some such plan. The total number of Indians in the States and Territories of the United States, exclusive of a few who have lost their tribal character, or amalgamated with whites, is from 320,000 to 350,000. Of these, about 2,250 are located in New York, Indiana, the Carolinas and Alabama, and are harmless, peaceful tribes; but all the rest, _ Bumbering over 300,000, are settled in California, Florida, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, Oregon, Wash- ington Territory, the upper Missouri, and the whole Northwestern frontier. These, with few exceptions— such as the Shawnees and Wyandotts, the Oneidas of Wisconsin, some tribes of the Cherokees, Creeks, and Choctaws,and the Indians of Northern Michi- @an—may be set down as a dangerous and irreliable race, with whom a difficulty may be experienced at any time. With these troublesome neighbors hanging on the dividing line between the States and our Pacific sbore, and at this time threatening danger to our fron- tier settlements, the prospect of a protracted and costly Indian war seems imminent, and it behooves the government to take a prompt, decisive course to moet the emergency. We know by experience that Indian wars are very expensive undertakings. The war with the Semineles in Florida cost some fifty millions of dollars. When our government bound itself by the treaty of Gaudalape-Hidalgo to pro- tect the Mexican frontier from the attacks of the In- @ians, it found, after a very short time, that the claims arising out of various spoliations of the hos tile tribes—some real, but many spurioas—would in- volve the treasury in an expense of hundreds of mil Vons; and it was compelled to abrogate that provi- sion of the treaty, by the negotiation of a new one. Our present system of dealing with men is manifestly wrong. It is With injnstice to them, but it is frait ourselves. The parties employed as agents and in ‘other capacities are accustomed to turn their official powers to their own private advantage, wholly re gardless of the happiness of the Indians or the inte- rests of the conntry. Rapacity and fraud are the characteristic feature. in their poliey; and as long as this is true, we never can hope to see the red men placed on a proper footing on this continent, or to find peace secured on our vast westerg frontier. We have it stated on excellent authority that in many cares the Indian tribes have been provoked to re- taliation by wanton cruelties on the part of our own People. Men on- our frontiers have been found so principled as to foment disturbance for the pur- pose of having troops sent to their own localities for the sake of the protits they hoped to make by trad- ing with them to supply their wants. While such @ state of things as this ix permitted to exist, we can- not expect to be tree from Indian wars, with all their barbarity and oppressive cost. A just and judicions Policy in treating with the Indians would save us from these ever recurring conflicts with those rest: Jess tribes, which are as discreditable to the charac- ter of the American republic ax they are restrictive of the progress of our Western settlements OUR DAROTAM CORRESPONDENCE.

( Jndian Troubles Reviving — Madeira Burned Crops Destroyed. 1 embrace the opportunity to send a few lines to some Post Office in Minnesota that it may be mailed to you, as a gentleman leaves here in a hour. A week ago to-day, June 12, Madeira, on the Big fioux river, was burned to the ground by the Yani ton Sioux Indians, who were possibly assisted by a few of the Cividans, who have professed to be friendly to the whites.

MONEY MARKET. Svunpay, July 4—6 P. M. ‘The week which has just ended has been one of the very dullest among the many dull weeks of this dreary year. There was, when it opened, « faint prospect of a revival of activity in the stock market, through thé ten- dencies of » projected settlement between the Erie aud Central. That hope did not tast long. It was soon dis- covered that there was no intention to settle anything, and that for the present the cutthroat rivalry would con- tinue. This effectually took away the last pretext for a stock movement, and the market fell back to its old points, without the least evidence of a desire to cpecuiate on apy ide. Towards the close of the week many promi- nent Wail street men left the city; this again tendod to increase the diepiriting dulnees. Hence that part of the financial world which soonest gives evidence of reviviog vigor has made no sign. Much money bas been paid during the week, !n the shape of dividends; se much indeed that, notmithstaad- ‘pg the general stagnation in business, the Cieariag Gouse balances were neverso large as on Friday. Vory fow * defaults have {been made. One or two towns, couaties and railroajsare behindhand, but their friends place re- lisnce on their promise to pay at am carly date. Tals loose habit of allowing interest day to pass over, and pay- ing coupons thirty or sixty days afterward cannot be too severely reprehended; and it is much to be regretted that there is not a Jaw—such as was recommended by the President and the Secretary of the Treasury last Decom Der—to compel the managers of every company either to pay their debts at maturity, or te put the concern into the hands of receivers. An agent of the general government has been here dur ing the week, apparently for the purpose of ascertainiag from the merchants what amount of trade may be expect- ed his fall. It cam readily be underetood that the proba bie amount of receipts from customs duties is a subject of much anxious thought st Washington; without at leasta partial revival, there is great reason to fear that even the ew loans authorized by Congress will fail to carry the gov- ernment through honorably. Accordingly, itseems the principal merchants have been virited by an official from the Treasury Department, who sought to ascertain as near ‘as he could, how much more or lees they would impor: this year than last. It ie understood that he was led wo conclude that the fall trade at this port this tall would not exceed two thirds of the amount of an average fail trade; and this, notwithstanding the falling off of eighty millions im our importations since the first of January last The fact is, the people of the United States have not got over the shock of last year, and will not do so yet. The mer. chants who broke last year, and who have sinca resum- ea—like those who did not break, but lost ai! their substance in saving themselyes—are in no hurry to rum apy fresh risks. Among this ciass of men @ trader who makes any operation at ail at the present time is considered a doomed min. He is as good as ruined. Nor is there any reseon to imagine that this view will be speedily corrected. Men remember financial convulsions a lopg time. Indeod, {| may be said that no merchant evor takes part in two ach disasters. He retains such a vivia recollection of the first that he never risks being burt by the second. This is the feeling of the mercantile clazsos at present; it is thie | which prompts them to avoid the tempting beit of & soun- try bare of goods; it is this which is depriving the genera! governmont of a large portion of its revenue. It is vain to look for recovery as yet. Mercantile affairs will not recover til] @ pew race of men have taken the place of thoge who were hurt last year—men who, never having | felt s revulsion, do not dread it, Tor the prosent, and, indeed, throughout the admuuniatration of Mr. Buchanan, the prospect is that commercial mattors will coptiaue dull. The close of the fircal year has ret the dry goods trade to work to make ap their usval statistical tadies.

The Cleveland Herald says that a meeting of the com- missioners who have charge of the city subscriptions to railroad stock, the Finance Committee and the Mayor, has ‘been held to confer on the course to be pursued in view of the non-payment of some $7,000 coupons on the bonds given to the Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad Company, and which, according to agreement, were to hare been paid by that company. A committee was appointed who are to decide at once on the course to be pursued in the matter. The reports of the Richmond, Fredericksburg and. Poto- mac Railroad, and the Eastern Railroad of Virginia have been published. The former bas always yielded annual interest of seven per cent, the highest rate accruing to the ‘State from any internal tmprovement investment. During the past year the business of the road has been increased $41,104 24 over that of last year, and by prudence and economy the expenses have been so reduced as to justify the expenditure of $87,103 50 upon a new superstructure, and a diminution of the aggregate indebtedness of the company $41,197 82. Im view ef the payment of a debt due in London in 1860, it is proposed to suspend money dividends after the first of next November, and to substi- tute therefor certificates of debt which, according te the provisions of the charter, bear seven per cent and are ex- empt from every description of taxation, which will ne- cessarily command their par value in market. The cur- rent expenses of the company during the last year amount to $123,470 28, their receipts to $320,235, and their net in- come, after paying interest, extraordinary expenses, &c. foot up $108,909 57. . By the roport of the directors of the Fasten Railroad, just printed, it appears that for the year ending May 31, the receipts were $616,156 47, of which $474,048 54 were for passengers, and $104,582 fer frieght. The expendi- tures, $322,353 88, after payment of interest, leave $134,- 436 63, showing a net loss of $36,606 99, the larger part of which occurred during the first half of the year, as the net loes for the six months ending May 31, 1868, is only $2,481 26. The road is in good condition. The Texas Republican of June 19 containg the follow- ing:—On Sunday last Mesers. J. Fowlkes, C. S. Todd, Thomes B. Livooln, D.C. Wilder, Thos. H. Wiley, Wm. H. Street, &c., president, directers and officers, lately elected in New Orleans by the stockholders of the Southern Pacific Railroad, arrived in this place, with the books and papers, and have epened an office here im compliance with tne Jaw of tbe last Legislature. We learm from these gentle- men that over two-thirds of the stock was represented at ‘the meeting in New Orleans, and that the greatest unani- mity of sentiment and feeling prevailed. Resolutions were pansed denouncing the sale, under the deed of trust, as fraudulent and void; an abundance of money was promptly raised to vindicate their rights, and a firm de- termination expresved to prosecate the maiter to its con- summation. The article goes on to say that the two parties are going to law, and will evidently consume th means in litiga- tion. No doabt of it; and perhaps it is the best thing they could do.
