The Indian War.

The neath and defeat of Custer atthe iandRs if Sitting Bull have pro-iITced an important change in the In-"inn policy of the Government, which-n to tlihe present time has consisted

of a ting series of broken promisesuand iiolated treaties. With the past,however, we have nothing at thisuncture to do. What we have to do

with just now is the present, and thefuture, which the presents foreshid-OwS.

The Commissioner of Indian Affairstelegraphed on Satnadav the Indianagents at Red Cloud and Sp6tted Tailto transfer their charges to the mil-itary officers at Camp IRobinsoa andSheridan respectively. Such an or.ler a few year% ago would, iT madegeneral, have rsuited in a very dif-ferent state Of afaiirs from what ex-ists at this tine. The Indians havealways entertained a profound respectfor the word of an officer of the army,and the promisees made by themilitary to them have ever been re-ceived as reliable. A knowledge ofthis fact has caused more than one at-tempt to be made to have the mahi-agement of Indian affairs plated un-der the control of the Secretary ofWar, but the attemps have been maddiu vain, until now wIhen, 'aggravatedpast all endarance, Sitting tall withlwhat watriots bb can gather aroundhis Standard has resolved to tight tothe bitter end. If he has half the as-t-uteness with which he is creditedi heibust be *ell aware of what the finalresult will be, and, kdowiug this, becan have but one object in view, andthat is to destroy as many ot his one-thies as podlible tefOre e yields tothe inevitable and dies with his faceto the foe.

That the struggle will be long and.bitter, therecan be no doubt. Theunnc pretoutinsant idea- that a reg-iment of cavalry coild ride rough-shed over the country of the Sijouxhas at last been reluctantly abandoid-ed. No one apparently appreciatesthe actual state of affairs more thor-Iibghly than Geno Crook, da he vaintaall the men lie can get before makingsn aggressi'b hiotement, and whenhie assumes the offensive ie ie rdy coii-Bdently expect some very hardknoeks. Meanwhile it may reasonably be supposed that Sitting Bull isnot idle, and his present apparent i.--

nactivty will justify the suspicion,that bi will be ready to strike whenthe time tmes. Indians seldom at-e tack a wtCl protected WuOAl, whichfact may explain Crook's immunityfrom attack. Muot stress has beelaid on the damage bhich would e--sue to Crook by the burning of thegess, but it most be rememberedthat hle Indians depend on the grassfor feeding their ponies, and when theprairie is onte:Bred thlie is no tel-liiA hos mach country may be burnad over. At this gai• the Indianswould be the greatest arsb rers. Theehiefdifialtyesperienced by the In-dians wilt be in providiun food for alarge number of men, any. length oftime.
