The department m= the districts of New Mexico, the Indian Terr! ry. Kansas, the Upper Arkansas aud the Siate of puri. ‘The District of New Mexico, commanded by Bre- vet Major General G. W. Getty, is an old and estab- Jished command, 1 bas within its limits the Navajo nation of indians, the Utes aud wandering bands of Apaches, together with a few bands of semi-civiliz Indians. The disirict has been, with the exception ef ap occasional depredation onthe part of the Apache bands, comparatively quiet. During the past year the Navajo Indians were successtully moved, Gander authority of the Lieutenant General, from their temporary reservation near Fort Sumner to thetr permanent reservation in the northwestern rtion of the Territory. The Utes have remained ly, although more neglected by the government theo any other lndian tribe within ny command, In feot the sudering from hunger and wantin some of ‘the ewaliest bauds has a very great, : @ixtrict has been ably and economically ad- aninistered by its distinguished conmauder. ‘Tho District of the Indian Territory 1s also an old Mstrict, having in it the posis of forts Gibson and | oer aud las been under the command of et Major General Grierson, colonel Tenth eav- airy, since May, 1n6s. it had previously been com- manded by Hrevet Major Mon'gomery Bryant, cap- tain Sixth infaatry. This district has m it all the gemi-civilized bands of Indians, the principal trives Being the Cherokees, Chickasaws, Choctaws and Osages. It also contains the new reservations of the Kiowas, Comancies, Arapatioes and Cheyennes, as Mixed by the treaty with the lndiau Peace Comniis- sioner of last fall, Of these band’ & por- fon of the Kiowas and Comanches yirited Fort Cobb eary tast spring, the polit designated for their agent to reside at, apparently for tue par- pose of obtaining their annuities and otner sup- plies. ‘The Indian Department having tailed to far- Dish the supplies, they fell out with the agent, drove off, destroyed the agency building and came up ‘to their old haunts on the Arkansas, threatening war tf their demands were not complied with. No other events of importance occurred in this district during ‘the jast year, The district was fairly and economi- cally managed by botl its commanders. Troops ‘were sent twice or three times to Cobb on requisi- of the agent, Whe appeared to be constantiy in ble either through his own iault or that of the {ndians—mosi apenas the latter, as they told me they did not like him, but wanted Mr. Tappan, the Indian trader at Larned, to be thelr agent, and- that they put a baller about his neck and bad hin led @ut on the prairie and that if they bad any more bad agents they would hang them. ‘The District of Kansas has @f Brevet Lieutenant Colone!

About the same time reve Brigadier General W. A. Penrose, from Fort Lyon, Colorado Territory, with L troop Indians Seventh cavalry, pursued @ party of who ,were driving of stock from the set- Uers and killed four. Wile these operations were iu progress tue Governor of Kauss, knowing how hard we were pressed for troops, proposed to re- heve the companies I bad on the Eastern frontier settlements of Kansas if arms, ammunition rations could be issued by the government for 600 militia from the Stale, This! gladly assented to, and these coudtic were carried out by direction of the Lieutenant General. AS soou as the agreement was consummated T drew tue two companies of the Seventh cavairy at Harker and proceeded to Larned totry to induce the Kiowaxs avd Comanches to return to their reserva- vion at Fort Cobb, 1 offered to furnish them rations to that post, and Breyet Major General Hazen, sent by General Sherman to conduct the Indians to their reservations, agreed to feed them dui ‘the winter and issue their annuities, This yp mn Was ac- cepted, bot only as 4 decoy to get their families out of the proxtmity of the post and then openly to be- come hostile, There 4 no doubt in my mind of the young mev having beey so previousiy. Previous to (his interview with. the Kiowas and before General Sully moved south of the Arkansas, in order to keep a portion of the Arapahoes, who were fot known to be hostile, out of the war, he in- vited their principal chiefs to visit us at Port Dodge. J there offered to provide for them during the win- ter, which proposition they accepted, but only aa & cover to get their stock and families out of the reach of the troops, aud when General Sally moved south they were the first to attack him. I mention this cir- culstance to show that we exhansted every alierua- lve to be friendly with Indians not Known to be fully engaged im’ the strite, as we had exhausted every alternative during the suramer t preserve the peace with ull the tribes. During vhe period embraced in the foregoing evenis the Lieutenaut Generai ordered Brevet Major General CG, C. Augur, commanding Department of the Platie, to send trom Fort Sedgwick to the forks of the Republican river six companies of the Twen- ty-seventh infantry aud two companies of the Sec- ond cavalry, ander command of brevet Brigadier General L.'P, Bradley, Lieutenant Colonel of the ‘Twenty-seventi infautry, and at the same time noti- fed me that the seven companies of the Fifth cavairy would report to me at Fort Harker, General Brad- Jey arrived on the Republican river on tae 25th of September, in time to be of material assistance to Colonel Forsyth by the approach of his command, since which tine he has been operating east and west on the head waters of the Republican; but iis command being principally Imfantry 1t cannot do much more than cover the country. After tt became fully known that the Kiowas and Cowanches were engaged in- lostili- ties we had against us the full number of 6,000 war- riora, well mounted and armed, and [ deemed it necessary to say Our force was too small, and orders | were received io call on the Governor of Kausas for one regiment of cavalry 1,200 strong, This regiment will eoon be organized and ready for the fleld. On September 29 seven companies of the Fifth cavalry arrived at Fort Harker, They were at ouce equipped and sent north of the railroad from here on Beaver creek, under command of Brevet Colonel W. B. Royall, Major Fifth cavalry, but as yet have not succeeded in finding the Indians. On October 12 Gouerai Sully ordered Custer’s command from Chalk Biuff creek to scour the country on Medicine Lodge creek and the Big Kend of the Arkansas, pending the Accumniation of supplies at Dodge for uu expedition to the Canadian river and Wachita inountains. Only smal es of Indians who had been depredating on the line from Harker to Dodge were found, and who drew south to watoll the move-* ments of Caster, Two Lndiaus were reported as pro- babiy Kilied in some sinail dashes made by them at auiy times, but no fauilies or villages were found, On October 5 Generai Bradley notified me that the trall of the indians Colonel Royall was sent afer had crossed Beaver creck in a southwesterly direction, Brevet Major General B. A. Carr (Major Fifth cav- airy), who arrived soon after the detachment of his Tegiinent had taken the deld, Was ordered to join his comman 1 aud take the trail rted by General Brad- ley, with directions to Brevet Colonel Bankhead, at Fort Wajlace, to furnish him with Brevet Lieutenant Colonel Carpenter's and Captain Graham's compa- nies of the Tenth cavairy, numbering about 120 men, as an escort. General Carr, while carrying out these instructions, was with his party attacked on the isu Inst, by about 490 of these Indians on Beaver . aud after an engagement of six hours re- 4 the Indians, killing nine and wounding an own nuinber, Lhree of the esvort were pui unk The above gives you an aecount of the princtpal 1pai combats since the 20th which contests Dodge, Lyon . and jays, in Indians were killed. Jn all and skirmisnes which’ have taken to thie time about ninety-two Lind! been killed aud au anknown number wounded, villages have as yet been destroyed and no large amount of stock captured. The*avove number of Indians killed, 1 think, can be safely retied upon as correct, The number of sol@rs killed in this period has been SIX, dof scouts in the government serv five, of sold wounded ten, and of scouts sixt The uumber of citizens Killed and oitictally reported is ag set forth in the accompanying list of Indian outrages and murders, and will number seventy-tve killed apd nive wounded, In neariy all cases the most horrible and savage barbarities were perpetra- ted on the bodies of the victims, ‘The amount of stock ran oif in Colorado and Kan- fas aud from the freight trains to New Mexico and Colorado 18 very large—probably in excess of five Wosesny head. The settioments have been driven in and ran®hes abai ed, making the damage done to ail mverests very large, In fact, unless tte Inat- ans are crusued oui and made to obey the authority of the governt here will be a total para ysis of some ol the best laterests of this section of country. All cuvntdence is destroyed. The people bad felt egree of security from the assurances of the Commission, and many of them hav’ met a fave in consequence. No peace which will give confidence can be hereafter made by paying tribute to these 4avage bands of cruel marauders. {am exceedingly giad that the Peace Commission resolved at their late meeting that Indian tribes should not be dealt with as independent nations, wome They are wards of the government, and should be niade to respect the laws and the lives and the pro- periy ofcitizens. ‘The ladian history of this country for the last 300 years shows that of ail the great na ons of Indians ony the remnants have been saved. ‘The samme fate awaits thoke uow hostile, and the best way for the scovernment is 10 now make them poor by tie destruction of their stock aad then setie them on the lands allotted to them. The motive of the Peace Cotmuission Was humane; but there was anerror of judgment in making peace with these indisus last fall. They should have been pun- isued and mate to give up the plunder captured and which they now hold, and after properly subinit- Ung to th@fratiitery and diagorging their plunder they could have beed turned over to the civil agents, fo error bas yiven muny more Victitus © favage erocit ‘The present system of dealing with tne Indians, I is an error, There are too many fingers tn mouey to be nade, and tt is the interest of the pation abd of Durganity to pat an end to thts inhuman farce, fhe Peace Commiseion and the Indian Departraent and ae miliary and the Indians make @ “baiky The pu lic treasury 18 depleted and moo- red in the quadrangular manage: * went, in Which the public treavury and the up- armed settlers are the greatest sufferers, There sbould ve only one head in the government of Jadian®; now Liey look to the Peace Coramiasion, iwen w the Indian Department, both of which are expensive iosiiindons, without aay system or ade quate machinery to Make good their promises.

We have the latest fullest particulars of the tragedy, the occurrence of which was announced tn our wane of yesterday morning. ‘The aeed is cer- tainty one of the most atrocious and unparaticied since the time when the body of oid Mra. Magiiton was found weltering in blood upon the foor of her dwetling in the southern section of the city. ‘There stands at the corner of Tenth and Pine atrects a large three story brick residence, with double three story back buddings, On the Pine street front the dwelling site back from the pavement, thus forngin: quite a large garden between the two, In this dwell- ing, very pleaaant tn its outward appearance and quite elegantly furnished, lived Mrs. Mary EB. Hil, aged about eixty-tive years, her son-in-law, Georg: s. Twitchell, Jr, his wife and @ tired . : enure four had formeriy resided at 319 South Ninth s'reet, having occupied tielr present residence but three months, « On Sunday eventng, the servant girl, Sarah Camp- dell, who had been visiting at some friend’s house, reached home shortly afier nine o'clock. She rang the frout door bel! a number of times, and after wait- ing some time was at length admitted py Mr. Twiteh- el ‘There was a brief interchange of words, as the «irl passed in and through to the kitchen. Afver at- tending to the fire she started to close the door lead- ing into the yard, wht Kom! partly open. Stepping over the thrashhold, what was ber consternation and horror to tind lying at her feet the body of old Mrs, Mill bent ap and apparently lifeless. she quickly called Mr. Twitchell, snd raising the stiffened corpse the two carried it into the kitchen, The body pre- ented @ horrible appearance, the garments — covered with blood, the face unrecognizable, and the hair completely matted with gore, while across the prow were contused wounds, and @ deep gash he temple told too plainly that death must have imost Instantaneous. Where there is an oc- ence there are many who will at once present Ueorias at to the motive which prompted the deed, a manner in which We terrible meditation wa ted out. It 1 surmised that the tragedy was committed In the dining room, whic is upon the second hoor. On this floor are two apartingnts, separated by a folding door. ‘They are of uneqtlal size, the larger one hi ing two windows and the omailer one, but the three — on the yard along the Pine street front. In this larger apartment, between the windows, stands an old-iashioned sofa, Upon one end of this ofa there lay ® pillow covered with green rep and corn- pletely saturated with biood. On the floor, ttmmedi- ately below the pillow, there was a pool of clotied gore, and from the sofa into the back room and to tue window of that apartment there could be plainly traced upon the carpet spots of blood, tndicating ‘that the mutilated body of the murdered woman lad etther been carried or di to the window and thrown out, the blood dripping from her wounded dead on the floor, marking the course the murderer lad pursued to cover up hia crime. On the sill of the wimdow tn the smmaiier ay meat were bloody neath the window, marks, On the pavement where the body of Mrs, Hill lay when frst found lay another large pool of blood. Upon the ledge of the window, neat which the sofa stood, were found, youterday morning, scattered cigar ashes, and pear the window a rocking chair, Ino the immediate vi- cinity of the sofa the walla were disfigured with of blood, and some drops even were upon the ug. The appearance of the room, the bivody tracings on the floor, and an examination of the wounds upoa the head of the mardered woman seem to indicate the following theory a# the right one relauve to the awful tragedy that was enacted on Sanday night;— Mra, (Ul faust have been iftog on the sofs apon her eft pide, her face towarca the wall, The Mucierer was rifting in the chair near the head of the sofa, and Laving beev smoking dropped the asies on tie window ledge.

The murderer then struck ber again and again upon the back of the head, as the many contnsious and the torn scalp indicate. Frightened at some nolxe, or perhaps carrying out # plan warriedly determined upon, he dragged the body from the sofa across the Moor and through the rooms, and thea raising It threw It out of the window, hoping piat Cetgclion might thua be avoided.
