AN INDIAN RISING IN CANADA.

Humours arc current of a navt insurrection impending m Canada of a much more serious nature than tho revolt of tho half-breeds under Ricl, so promptly suppressed by the Dominion Government last year. it is reported that the whole of tho Indians of the North-West Territories are at the point of rising against tho wliito man. The BlaoV feet, tho Bloods, and the Crocs are secretly arming for tho purpose of offering, it may be, a last resistances to the influx of the hated palo faces. It cannot be said that tho red man complains of any political or administrative grievance. He simply feels he is being wiped out of existenco, and he cannot tamely submit to tho speedy nnd inevitable extinction ol his race. Tho expected rising m : iy possibly bo checked or controlled, but there is no doubt that thoao bc*t qualified to judge are seriously alarmed at tho aspect, of affairs. The L mted States Government have Iky! sad experience of the cruel character of wars with tbo red man but it is many years since Canada was thus involved. Should a revolt, unfortunately, occur, we may rely on it that the Canadian Government will stamp out resistance with a firm and prompt hand.— Some News.
