With these dispatches before them, and still: another from Indian Agent Byrnes to : the Commissioner of In dian .Affairs corroborating those re? ceived at the War Department. The; situation was carefully considered bj i the President, Acting Secretary Hul drow and Gen. JdcFeely, acting Sec retary of War, and as a result tele graphic instructions were sent to Gov. Adams of Colorado directing to confide the actions of the civil authorities strictly within the "stat utes, so as to prevent the sheriffs posse or the State militia from cross ing the, reservation border and the Jodian agent was instructed to restore to the Indians their horses and Jirpperty. The United States' troops jy.ill co operate with agent Byrnes in .carrying out these instruc tions.

The Captain's proposition was flatly refused,-and the work of eviction must begin to morrow. A force of one hundred soldiers and three hundred policemen are encamped at. lierbertetown in' readiness to protect tbe bailiffs. The tenants have stronglv barricaded their houses and will offer formidable! resistance to the e victors. These evictions are expected to be markel with violence and not unlikely blood shed.

"It is hardly to be suuposed," Gen. Terry adds. "That tbe civil and mili tury officers of Colorado will forget that tbe State rights do not run be vond the boundaries of the Slates. but in tbe excitement of the situation this may be overlooked, and Major Rinda.ll doMBOt "eem to feel at all sure that the Ysrs&it of the Indians will not continue.

It is expected that afttr a conference between the f res ident and Acting Secretary Muldrow or pt-rhaps in the xubiuet meeting today that orders will be tiven to carry out Gen. Terry's suggestions.

And last. but not least, while drawing out (a the word educate means) the intellect. fail not to instruct tbe heart. Teach the pupils " that they are both human as well aa immoral. possessing a soul as well as a oody immortal as well as mortal; teach them their relation to their Maker and their fellow-man; tench them that it is the province of the Christian religion to purify and elevate and re fine.
