THE EXTERMINATION OF THE RED MAN Order of March and Details of the Advance Movement. HEADQUARTERS UNITED STATES gers Fort SILL, L. T., Sept. 6, 1874. While the “Black Hills,’ Moral valleys and the In- dians occupy the public mind at various other points, I believe 1 can say with truth that we have all those commodities here,. blended together in this locality in this wise. In the first place if one looks from where I sit he can see for miles and miles nothing but black hills, and even mountains, taking in the Wichita range yonder, made so by the Indians burning up the prairie to spite us, so we can’t have forage for the animais when we move upon them; but in this, if £ mistake not, they are scratching their own paint-besmeared faces. Then we have “floral valleys’ that can floor anything at this season of the year, When, alter a long,shard march, descending trom the high tablelands, you gently slope into a valley ana along a narrow belt of timber you go down confidently expecting to find water—a very neces- sary commodity for man and beast in this intensely heated season—and when you get down into what was the ‘de profundis” of a fine, large, rolling stream you find nothing but a hard, dry river bed of sand and pebbles. It this isn’t enough to “floor” you, and if that valley cannot be called a “flooral” valley, then I don’t know what thesen- sation means; but I do know that we have thus been ‘floored.’ Though no magnificent descriptions or reports have been given of it, in tramping about these val- leys—since we came near being “floored” at the Wichita Agency by a@ large crowd of sneaking, cowardly Indians—we have been hard atit, That is not 80 much in the tinted, variegated, golden floral valley line a8 trying to proceed in a straightforwara way to help solve this problem. General J. W. Davidson’s command, composed of the Tenth United States cavalry, the Twenty-flith and Eleventh infantry, nave been hard at work. The most important step now to be taken is to disarm the so-called iriendiy Indians and do away witb their superabundance of stock, most of which is stolen and is the great enabling medium whereby they may—to use a Western military pro- vinclalism—‘“ight out’? at any time, going here and there to maraud, plunder, murder and burn. There is no doubt in the mind of any one out here who knows anything about the Indlan ques- tion that the first thing to be done to secure peaceful and friendly Indians is to follow up the initlative step of General Davidson with the band of issa-nau-i-ka and his Yamperica, Comanches, and disarm them entirely, with the exception of bows and arrows. Next these, wild horses, which they have tn herds of hundreds, must be taken from them and farm cattle, milch cows, goats and chickens substituted for them. There is no Manner of doubt but that this thing is the very first to be done to change | the Indian, as the HERALD has properly put the problem, “from a roving band to an sgricultural class.” Itstands to reason that with arms in their hands and droves of fleet wild horses, with their wonderfully restless nature, they must be impelled to rove abroad in order to keep their hands accustomed to the use of such arms, and to keep their race horses of the plain tn trim, not to say anything of their own unbridled and untamed dispositions, which keep pace with the wind and revel in the storm. Even the white man would be tempted to this, But how or when to disarm them is the question. It must be contessea that there are differing opinions even here as to the advisability of doing it with the Indians on this reservation at this time. Gen- eral Davidgpn 1s in favor of it and has it under con- sideration, and we shall see before he starts on the march whether the experiment can be successfully and sately tried at the present, It is believed that it might be attended with RESISTANCE ON THE PART OF THE INDIANS, or that, fearing other results and construing it as an uniriendly act, many of them might inconti- nently leave the reservation and move out to join other bands pow on the prairies, tree of restraint and subordination. Thus tar those who have been eprollea by General Daviason, with few exceptions, have behaved well und seem disposed, unless they have base treachery at heart, to do their best. A | striking mstance of this is found in one of the In- dian chiefs thus enrolled, who 18 regarded by the officers and others here as a gen- eral favorite and @ high type of the In- dian, a warrior of good fighting reputation and courage, tor which he has an excellent record, besides having an acute sense of honor and sound judgment. The famous Kicking Bird, chief of the Kiowas, who fought Captain Mcviellan in the brakes of the Wichita in 1871, has thus far given a shining example of good faitn and obedience to all the instructions received by him trom General Davidson, whom he regards with feelings of great Tespect and confidence. Your correspondent, in company with Major Woodward, of the post, and Mr. George Fox, salesman of the post trader, mounted at dark and went to the camp of the Kiowas to pay a visit to this distinguished chief, and to test in @ measure the impression, largely | prevailing, tha’ it is decidedly unsafe to go among the Indians at night unless accompanied by troops. Riding cut about half a mile from the post we came to the trader's store, where we found Mr, Fox and Kicking Bird awaiting the arrivalof the expected visi- tors. ‘Ihese two are very strong friends, Fox speaking the Comanche language us weil as tie chief, and interpreting kindly tor your correspon- dent. We started at once, and on through the dark we rode with the lusty, strong-sinewed red man, the chief placing me at his left and his Ad- jutant General or “striker” being on his right, Major Woodward and Mr. Fox for the nonce fol- lowing us. At length we reached the outpost of the camp, where @ few dusky forms of Indians were on guard, pacing to and fro moodily, wrapped in their blankets. The stalwart form and graceful equestrian movements of Kicking Bird must have been a gage and unquestioned save by the barking of a few wolf dogs we passed into the sanctum sanctorum—the pre- cincts of the Kiowa chiet’s lodge—through a lealy arbor erected in front of it. Mrs. Kicking Bird was on hand to meet her liege lord, and immedi- ately took charge of our horses, tying them up salely ata short distance, The night being warm we sat under the arch which the conformation of the bent twigs made, and as the moon, our only lignt, rolled onward past the clouds, the star- gemmed sky and the quietof the place gave to it the semblance of a lover's grotto, Kicking Bird sat by my sid and in a iew ininutes, as though the ‘occasiowot a stranger’s presence was whispered on the evening air, a score of large framed, blanketed, soft-stepping savages stole gently in and arranged themselves in & circe near him. Near dv some of the dusky forest maidens were gleefully playing 10 front of a camp fire with some infants, and the merry, musical laughter of the squaws, with the weird-like outlines of the warrior forms avout us, lookeé like & contrast picture of life and death. We chatted long into the nigat and exchanged views With these searless BLOOD-STAINED DENIZENS OF THE PLAIN, and they were as polite, as subdued and well-be- haved a8 a@ group of polished courtiers, Kicking Bird spoke much and ireely of the grievances of the Indian, was pleased to have his views known to the public through the HERALD, and would seek an opportunit Fa pad them literally spread out through its coidmns before Congress and the peo- ple of the United States. There were no facilities, on aecount of the darkness, to take a report of his sayings, but he has promised me an interview at length on his peculiar views. En t+ sant, it may be said that he avow feeling of good will, while he wag in favor of peace and doing what was right. elieved the white man would keep his promises. He had never been in Washington and was anxious to go there. He aid the coming war would be a severe one; that ny white men and Indians would be killed; that this would be the lust, and that the fight would end with the extermination of the red man as arace.

We bade them ail good hight, each one returning our salutation with cordiality. So ended my first night's foray into the camp of the most wild and waruke tribe of the prairies— the Kiowas—who have been note for a daring, cruelty and unbending sell will that heretofore has brooked no control. Lone Wolf, the contestant of | Kicking 4@ for the honors of their chieiship, is now an “outlaw” on the plains and doomed to ceitain death, when caught—as he surely will be— on account of his merciless acts of cruelty and barbarity, Since my last writing General Ab- saiom Baird has visited this post as Inspector General of General Sheridan's staiT and inspected 1p his thoroughly soldier-like and gentlemanly way all the troops which are to compose General Davidson's coiumn, which will march hence on the 10in tor the Wichita and the hostile Indians, and which he pronounced as in excellent order. They will first go to the headwaters of that river and then to the north fork of the Red River; thence to McClellan's Creek and the Antelope Hilis, until the Indians are thoroughly whipped, which General Davidson is determined to attempt most vigorously, follow- ing the Indians by their lodge poles, families and supplies, near which he expects to find them; and this being his especial programme I think the sequel will prove that it will be eventually the suc- cessiulone., I append Generai Davidson's order for the march, which will be in light order and fly- ing colum Heapquartens Pest or Fort Sint, I.

Details of the March—Settiers Abandon- ing Their Homes—The Inaians Burn- ing the Prairies—Their Strength and Condition. WASHINGTON, Sept. 12, 1874, A despatch was received at tne War Department this morning from General Nelson A. Miles, come manding the expedition to the Indian Territory, dated, “Camp on the south bank of Dry Fork of the Wichita, Texas, August 25,” announcing that his command started from Camp Supply on the 20th inst., and marched twenty-six miles up Wolf Creek, then eighteen miles to Commission Creek, and then to the Dry Fork of the Wichita, He gives particulars of the reconnolssance of Lieutenant Baldwin as far west as the Adobe Walls and down the Canadian River. Lieutenant Baldwin reports having seen Indians nearly every day after he left Beaver, and trom the Adobe Walls to the camp on the Canadian River, ‘about sixteen miles west of the Antelope Hills, Fresh trails goipg south were crosses d the men who have been living at the place on account of the almost daily annoyance and hostility of the Indians, General Miies says he is satisfied that the Chey- ennes, Kiowas and Comanches have concentrated | on the headwaters of the North Fork of Red River | and its afiuents, and on Elm Fork, and he pro- poses to continue his movements in that direc- tion, At the time the despatch was sent the in- | dians appeared to be BURNING THE PRAIRIES south of General M:les and would doubtless leave | the country a barren waste. He suggests the pro- priety of establishing & supply camp on a beautiful | creek, wiich he has named Uasis creek, about ten miles west o1 Anteiope Hills, on the north side of the Canadian, as tnere is a possibility of this paign lasting during the autumn and winter, comp? nies are 8 small that their fighting strengtn, alter long marches through sand and beneath @ burning sun, with bad and insufficient water, isnot so great as the department commander doubtless supposes. Nothing had been heard from Major Rice, though General Miles had en- | deavored to communicate with lim. In conclu- sion General Miles says: After conversing as I have with men who have lived with the Indians for months and nave traded wit them tor years and supplied them with arms an ammunition, L am of the opinion that the strength of the Indians has been greatly underrated and that they are well armed with rifles of an improved pattern and provided with aoundance of ammunition. Indeed, itis doubtless the confidence 1 their strength, inspirea by the possession of these arms, which has occasioned their outbreaks and depredations, to suppress which these expeditions are organized. OUTLAWS ON INDIAN RESERVATIONS. WASHINGTON, Sept. 12, 1874. Attorney General Williams has given an opinion, addreased tothe Secretary of the Interior, upon the subject of employing troops in the removal of irom the Cheyenne and Arapahoe reservation. He says the statutory provisions unquestionably con- fer ample power upon the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, with the approval of the Secretary of the Interior, and also upon the Superintendent of lndian Affairs, Indian agents and sub-agents remove such persons from the rese | tion, in effecting which object the | ient 18 moreover authorized to direct military | force to be employed.
