THRILLING .YESSES.
The circumstances vrhich induced the
the writirj: of the follwoin touching and
thrilling: lines are as! follows : A young:
lady in New Yorlf was in the habit cf
writing for the Philadelphia Ledger ; on
the subject of Temperance. Her writing
was so full of pathos, and evinced such
deap emotion of soul, that a : friend of
hers accused her of bein; a maniac: on
the subject of Temperance- whereupon
she wrote the following lines i .
Oo feel whtt I have felt,
Go bear what I have bonlo-t-Sink
'neath the blows a father dealt,
And the cold world's scora i
Then suffer on from year to year ..:
Thy boIo relief the acho rehingtoar.
Go kn eel aa I have knelt, - '
Implore bessch and pray
Strive the besotei heart to melt,
The downward course to stay : -'
Be dashed with bitter curse a.4io,
-Your prayers burlesqued , your toare dolled.
Go weep as I have wept -
O'er a loved father's fall '
See every promised blesing swept '
Youth's 8wcetneES torned to gall;
Life's fading flowers strewed all the way
That brought me up to womaa'i day.
Go to thy mother's side
And her crushed bosom cheer,
Thino own deep anguish hide
Wipo from her cheek tho bitter tear;
Mark her worn frame and withered brow
Tho gray that streaks her dark hair now
"With f-tdicg frame and tremblemg limb :
And trace the ruin backloLiia
Whoso plighted faith in early youth,
Promised eternal lore and trath.
But who, foresworn ba3 yielded up
That promise to tho cursed cup ;
And led her down, throigh love and light,
And all that made her prospects bright ; t
And channel her there mid want and strife
Thatlcwly (hing a drunkard's wife;
And stamped on childhood's brow so mild,
That witheringlblightjtho drunkard's child!

Senator Tipton's remarks on In
dian Policy.
The following we find in the Congres
sional Globe. The question was on the
adoption of a resolution to exclude all
business except that connected with Re-
construction, ana senator upton askea
priviledge to introduce a bill to protect
the border against hostila Indians:
Mr. TIPTON. I do not wish to be
at all discourteous to my colleague ; but
as we are on this subject, and a3 his side
of the Senale has had two speeches cn
it already from the neighboring State of
Kansas, as a matter of course I feel a
little tenacious that we on this side rep
resenting Nebraska should have an op
portunity of saying one word. I do not
wish the country to understand that Kan
sas has all the Indiana that are West
I wish it had.
While I desire at all times to be able
to concur, especially with that part of the
Senate with which I am politically iden
titled, in the passage of any resolution
that seems to receive such universal fa.
vor as this does, yet. I must admit I am
somewhat embarrassed iu regard to vo
tirjg for the original resolution ; and it is,
as the Representatives from Kansas have
already indicated, on account of the con
dition of the frontier. I have all faith in
the Secretary of War and all faith in the
chairman of the Millitarv Committee of
the Senate as to their good and kind in
tentions toward us upon the frontier: and
yet I do not. believo that our present
system of warfare is worth anything; aud
I mean more than is couched in that
word 4,anything"when I utter it. It has
done nothing for us on the frontier,
For the last three years our people have
been slaughtered every, day.and this day,
as it is now about the hour of half past
one o'clock, undoubtedly has had its
victims also. Every day on the frontier
our people are massacred.
Under these circumstances we want
some kind of relief, You ask me what.
tell you frankly I do' not know : but I
want any experimeut, anything for a
change. If I could wield the legislative
power of this nation to-day I would so
remodel the whole system that I would
make it a high crime for any regular
Army officer to cross the. Missouri river
for the next twelve month?; I would offer
a premium for savage Indian scalps ; I
would edist the men cf the frontier
whose lives are identified wirh the
frontier, and I would fill a volunteer
army y the frcntiermen themselves ; I
would appoint as comanders of that army
the men who understand Indian warfare,
if it is to be uudrstood at all. Our pres
ent 5stetn is inefficient, We never have
successfully combatted with eavages,
We may worry them out by the power of
of this nation but e, want an experi
ment as relief of some kind.
Underthese circumstances, therefor, I
fay emphatically that I am embarrassed
in regard to votiu for th9 original reso
Iution. I do not desired to show myself
captious on thi3 subject, ana will not
; silen, I will vote on one side of the ques
! tion or the other. I never was noncom
s miital in anytnicg: and 1 will not consent
to sit silent m my seat and not vote when
aa opportunity is given to vote. I pro
pose, therefor, to vote; that it is ray buis
ness here; and as I cannot vote for the
resolution, I shall vota against the reso-
Iution. And now, leaving the ballance
that I ought to. say for probably t
should not have said what I have in this
latitade; it is true, however ' 1 yield
to my colleague. . ': . . .
Mr.. WILoON. I wish simply to say
tlH t Tfn in f T n nrt A X nn t.-. rwarTTl3Tr01 dm 0 O t aA I ' T CJ V fold H- Vl f! IT tt 111
Senator is in favor, of protecting the peo-
una oujjwjc .i
pie oi inis country against inuians or
anybody else tnat wars on them. I think
the War Department has power, enough
uo mas. it mey aesirea anyining, i
should certiaDly wish to give it;and I cer-
tainly think that the "Congress of the
United States, in spite of "this resolution,,
will be disposed to do anything for the
protection of the lives of the people on
the frontier if any plan can be devised.
But I am very sorry to hear the Sena
tor come in here aud talk adout offering
a reward for scalp3. It seems to me.that
i3 not the laujuare to be used in this
Christian and civilized country and I am
sorry to hear it.
! Mr TIPTON The Senator doubtless
understands Vne in this: so far as tribes can
be bound by treaty stipulations, we will act
in the utmost fairness with them: The
murderous tribes are plundering and des
olating our frontier will be bound by no
treaty. They have no faita tokeep with
us. They cannot ba intimidated but by an

All is powerless bnt an exhibition of
a
power on the part of this Government.
Until you can cause them to fear and
tremble in your presence, until you can
make them -feel your power, until they
understand that you will deal with them
just as they are dealing with you, you
cannot save the lives of your women and
children on the frontier; and when it
comes to that I vro'.d Aarhvrize war upon
these savages that cannot be approached.
I would save the lives of our Christian
women. Gcd help the country and the
reputation of the country when any Sena
tor is to staud in his place here and dare
noibe permitted to talk of the massacres,
and worse than massacres, of the women
of his constituency, and not talk about
premiums on savage Indian scalps.
This subject is one of vast moment to
the people of the frontier. I trust I un
derstand the amenities of Christian soci
ety. I trust I understand something of
Christian civilization. Why, certainly
the light of Massachusetts has visited us
long since upon that subject, and we are
trying to practice Puritanism as best We
may be able to apply it to practic even in
the far west. Bat come ye down to it
and furnish the sons from your own fire
side. I boast not of it, but my sen ha?
spent summars on that very frontier, and
farther on than where the war wage to
day and he informed me of the safty of his
condition when he hoisted that he had
two companions with himself, and by bur
rowing In the earth it was thought they
could hold at bey a large number of
savages ur.'.il aid could 'approach them.
Our people are in their cabins to-day;
they ara in their dirt-covered hovel3 to
day, and they are looking from their
loopholds for some relief; and therefore
1 ... ,, . j- . .u i
I stand here proudly to vindicate the doc-
?. . ...
trine with those Indians who can hold no
faith with you premiums, anything,
paid in gold for those savages' scalps.
Mr FESSENDEN. Let us settle this
question.
Several senators let us vote.
The President vro tempore. Doea the
the Senator from Massachusetts postpone1
hi3 motion?
Mr WTILLSON. "I withdraw the mo
tion if we can ha?e a vote." "vote,
vote."
Mr. TIPTON, before that vote i3 taken,
at whatever expenc to myself in the opin
ion of this Senate, I have one word to
say. The Senator from Maine asser'.s
as I understand, he is warned in regard
to future action with men who differ in
regard to what is honorable on a question
of this kind. I was a member of that
caucus. When my colleague in that caucus
suggested that if we pas?ed the resolu
tion we might be precluded possibly from
doing something if an opportunity should
offer, in behalf of our frontier citizens
and those of Kansas. I, taking that view
of the question, from that moment voted
against the resolution. Otherwise bad not
my attention been called to it I f hould cer
tainly have voted for the resolution, no con
etitutional objection having ever been in
timated to me. After voteing against it
in the caucus Iconic to the Senate. The
Senator from Kinsa notifies the Senate
by a proclamation fruin the Governor of
Kansas that the glorious little State of
Kan?a?, the most glorious among all the
States, baptized with purer patriot blond,
and under, circumstance so "wonderfully
peculiar that sh,e ha been tha prida of the
lovers cf liberty throughout this land,
and the world ha3 looked upon her that
that glorious little State call upon-her
citizen3 who cannot give ampla protec
tion to their own frontier inhabitants to
go and help protect the Government pro
perty of the United States, the Pacific
railroad. Seeing the condition of things
there in a more precarious light than I
- did see thern the day before yestarday
in 'tho cauca3, I felt that under thesa cir-
sit curastances i would not Le true to
- constituents and my Stato were I to allow
- 1 the behest of anybody, any organization,
o cause me now to step aside from
Kansas and her troubles and Nebraska
- ana ner troublesancl say we wnl not enter
- lam a preposition in your behalf. I should
not be a man of honor if I permited my-
self to act thus and say no Senator here
could claim that he acted honorably if ha
had gone back upon hia constituency un-
der these circumstances. I am very free
to herefrom sny Senator that he dis-
proves of my courso and says I am not
bound by a high principal of honor,
additional notification from Kansas I say
i -' ,tku
nere neuaer caucus nor oenaie nor pow-
er shall prevent me from introduceing a
measure if necessary for my own State,

especially will this be true cf tha Smclr

have always' shown the greatest hostility,
and which thev do not rropose to frive up

General Sherman ia hia telegram, ta
General JLinccck, to ba tha correct one,
and one which will bring peace and se-
curity to Southern Nebraska, Kansas and
. . . .!..
Colorado. All those States will
rejoisu
at and aid in its success. As to
means. General Sherraaa caa f-m
sh
but one, nnd that is men. If ha accom
plishes his purpose with that promptness'
and thoroughness which is nseied.ha must
employ western troop3. A regiment of
trooys each from Nebraska, Kan3a3 and
Colorado, can not fail to ba tha most
economical and successful method of earn
ing on tha campaign. Our western boy.j
are more accustomed to Indian fighting-.
For many years they have had dealings
with tha Indians understand thair charac-.
tor, are acquainted with, their modes o:
lighting, and take a personal prua in
whipping them. Each man ia tha thrcv
regiments would be urged ca by feeling
of intrest and revenue, and know that in
destroying his red foe, he was fighting
for the lives of his family, and tho pro
tection of his property. To attack and
destroy the enemy would be the single
aim of every officer. With such a body
of men, animated by such a purpose, cj
band of Indians could stand before them.
They would soon render the land b jtrreen
the Platte and Republican 'a dark and
bloody ground, "for tha Indian.who would
only be to glad to escape beyond tha river
for his life. In two month: from the time
such a campaign wa.3 begua, there wcnld
not be a hostile Indian in the territory.
If tha question of tima ba acknowleg-
ed, the economy of using western troops
must follow necessarily. Tho snorter
and mere decisive a campaign, tha losj
penso it is so ihe Government. Regular
troop move more slowly thaa cur west

regular troop3 be used to guard, tho sta
tion and patrol tha road.andlet cur brave
western boys be let Jooso on a little

buccessfully accomplish General Short

will equip our volunteers, it will favo
