(Ji:n. Siin.i.t'S in Ii.m.mhs. Wo nro gratified to (says the Washington Hikm) thnt Gen. Shields is in tho canvas in hi Stsle, giving powerful nitl to his cHsttti guishcd cnllongtio, Judge Douglas. Sol dom has a contest been so reulously niul ably carried on n that in Illinois. Jmlgo Douglashn just completed n tour of lour woeks, nml returned to Chicago with coif lidenco f 'he tiiumpli of the demoprapy (Jul). Shield has entered tho light with e.tniPbtncas nnd ability. Wo seo a sketch of his speech at Springfield, In which ho unstained the principles of tho Nebraska bill with great lorco and ulfcct. Speaking of tho priuciplo of non-intervention, ho cuid: "It allowed the pooplo to fix their own condition, manage their own nfl'nirs, and woik out their own happiness in their own way. It gavo equal chances to equal Slates in settlement and government of com mon territory. Kansas and Nebraska were freo now. and tho ncotilo thoro would keen them free. Tho establishment of slavery in those territories was not only im probable, but it was inijvaislble, nnd it was always wiser and better trf let people, work out n ;ronl good ("or ljutlvos ib t liaTtMl Tdrccd itnon ilium by others; and this i the way freemen always do what U great and good, by their awn freo nnd vol untary net. This principle of non-inter-lion would not only keen Kansas and Ne braska what they nro now free but would bv its full and fair oporation, if wo acquire lliocoiitinenr to tho Isthmus of I.i rien. wotk wiflifsuch powerful force nnd ef fect that no man would ever soo another slave territory on this continont. "After saying much moro on this head, (icn. Shields nfiuded to the danger of sec tional organizations, and of arraying one section of tho Union in n genera) sentiment of hostility ncainst tho other. Tho Ne braska question, he said, would soon settle it3clf, as, in tho midst ol tins angry dis cussion, Kansas would present herself with n free constitution, nnd be admitted ns n life member of tho confederacy. MoRn Ixdian Massacuts. In our no tico yesterday of tho occurrence of another distressing Indian massacre on tho lexns frontier, wo said that, according to our in formation, there was no lack of tho nccssa ry number of troops for the protection of tlw frontier, but tliat tho deficiency was in tlMro not Item? a sulhcicnt lorco of rnoun ted men. Wo learn sinco that thcru is n deficiency of all kinds ol troops to enable tho War Department to givo that protection which tho interests ot tho country nml tho calls of humanity rcouire. Tho Secretarv of War has discharged his whole duty with tho furco nt his disposal, nnd has entitled hnnjcll to warm commendation for tho-'"1 tcrekfiWlias constantly taken in tho sub jeet ; but without congressional action, he can only givo partial protection to tho long line of frontier. Ho must havo moro troops nt his disposal, or tho sad intelligence must continue to rcacu ui ol tlio butcheries nnd violations of women nnd children by tho savages. We.alludcd to tho subject before, that tho attention of congressmen might bo awakened by tho recent massacres, and -at tho same limn to show that tho War De partment was fully nlivo to tho importance of tho subject. Whilst on this subject, .wo may add that m c havo just received a copy of n proclatn tion issued on tho 16th of September by (ieorgu L. Curry, Governor of Oregon, announcing another brutal outrage upon a party of immigrants by a portion of tho Snake tribo of Indians, and calling for two companies of volutccrs for s,ix months' sor vicp, to chastise thu offenders. Tho Gov ernor says that unarmed, men havo been shot down, defenceless women nnd harm less children, after enduring captivity, havo been most barbarously and inhumanly tor tured to death. Such intelligence cannot fail to arm tho Secretary of War with facts with which to raako a successful appeal to Congress for tho necessary force to prevent nidi distressing occurrences.

Tho Washington St-ir has "every reason la beliovo" that the reported abandonment of tliiiBIosojiUo -norlinictVJLiXb.'Tr'says that tho inhabitants of Greylown were notified n mojith or moro ago, by the Hrifith Consul at San J win del Norlo, that they must not expect the inlorferenco of tho Uritish Gov. eminent in thoir behalf against tho United States. And tho Star intimates, thnt the purpose of tho Iirilish Government to send a 00-guti ship to CJreytowit has been chan fled, and that it is Iho present policy of that Government to hold tho Mosquito question in abeyance until tho Kussian quarrel is so fur adjusted as to allow tho Government to turn to this Mosquito business with freo hands; but that it will ho tho policy of our Government to forco .1 bbttlement of tho difficulty WJh tho least possible delay.

Removal of Samuel H.C'ulrcr. Tlio ndministration have done this gen tleman great injustice by hasty nnd ill-advised nction. Wo aro well satisfied that tho information on which his removal has been based was utterly without foundation in fact, mid such ns should never have been forwarded to tho department. Some three months since, Gen. Palmer, Superin tendent of Indian n flairs, suspended Mr. Culver from oflicial notion for n)Iogd mis conduct in office, nnd appoi .tud John I Midler, of Jacksonville, stoclal Indian sgvnt for that district Capta'n Miller de clined io accept the nppointment. Subse- iueutljf ujmik u mura iLoruugU wivt. tion of tho charges preferred against .Mr. Culver, the Superintendent became convin ced that ho had been imposed upon by persona who wcro actuated by malice mid impure motives, nnd Mr. C. was promptly restored to his position. It nppoars that tho department has now acted on tho samo representations, nnd that Mr. Culror is subjected to a removal from oflicc without any just cauEo nnd while ho is in thu faith imuisciiargu 01 his uuttcs. Jlis owing in n great inensnro to tho untiring energy, tact and perseverance of Mr. C. that thu lloguo Itiver Indinns havo been kept quiet during Iho past season. Karly in tho sum mer mi outbreak was anticipated, and tho impression prevailed that no means within tho control of tho agent could bo interpo sed to prevent it. A general spirit of dis satisfaction was whin spread among tho different tribes. When whites wcro killod tho offenders wcro surrendered up nnd promptly punished, but Indians wcro shot down with impunity tho promised annui ties wcro not forthcoming, and many caus es combined to incite tho Indians (0 renew ed nets of hostility, but tho preeenco nnd exertions of nn efficient agent served to quell thu rising spirit of discord, nnd peaco was maintained. Wo regrut exceedingly iLn 1 -1-1-. t- I - . . . - teiicics should bo constantly occur. Tho frequent removal of faithful Democrats and the occasional employment of unscru pulous whig politicians for important nnd responsible tjorviccs, is enough to destroy tho equanimity of tho most patient and dis creet.
