The general routine of duty at each agency is sufficiently understood. No instructions upon that subject are necessary. It is in extraordinary cases only that the agents require specifick [sic[ directions to guide them. Applications for this purpose should be made by them to the Superintendent. If from a view of the whole subject or from a Knowledge of the wishes of the Government, he can give the necessary instructions. the matter can be there determined. If not resort ought by him to be made to the Government. This plan is perfectly simple and would be attended with no difficulty. The agencies are at present insulated points in the Indian Country, connected together only be their mutual responsibility to the War Department. The Department is remote, the communication slow, and the necessary details not always sufficiently understood there, nor fully explained by the Agent. The principal is perfectly analagous to the beautiful simplicity which in theory prevails in military arrangements, and I have no doubt it would be found useful and efficacious.
