The Sun.
London, England, 1854-12-29 00:00:00

The Department has been perplexed and embarrassed
by the refusal of that portion of the Stockbridge Indians,
of Wisconsin, parties to the treaty of 1848, to accept the
tract of land selected for them in accordance with that
treaty, and to which selection they at one time gave
their assent. They are, or pretend to be, anxious to
remain where they now are, at Lake Winnebago, and
individual members of the band have repeatedly visited
this city to urge an arrangement to that effect. For
reasons stated in my special report to you of the 25th
ult., their application could not be granted. The only
alternative seems to be to find them a suitable home
within the limits of Wisconsin, and, as they require but
a very small tract, this can be accomplished with-
out prejudice to the interests of the white population
of the State.
The only other Indians having territorial rights in
Wisconsin are the band of Oneidas, who occupy a small
reservation near Green Bay, and are so far advanced in
civilization as to justify the presumption that, like the
Brothertons, they will, at no distant day, dissolve their
tribal organisation and become citizens.
There are, however, within the limits of Wisconsin,
and also within the northern peninsula of Michigan, a
few small bands of Chippewas of Lake Superior, who
still occupy their former locations on lands ceded by the
treaties of 1837 and 1842. It has not thus far been
found necessary or practicable to remove them.
The Chippewas who reside in Minnesota, west of
the Mississippi, are not, it is understood, desirous of
ceding any portion of their country west of that river ;
nor ia such a cession at this time deemed absolutely ne-
cessary, so far as the wants of our citizens are immedi-
ately concerned. There are also bands of Chippewa
Indians residing in the region north of the headwaters
of the Mississippi, who, from the imperfection of former
treaties, 10 not participate in their benefits, and are,
therefore, in a very destitute condition.
It having been found that the country proposed to be
given to the Winnebagoes, by the agreement made with
them last year for an exchange of lands, would, in many
respects, be an improper location for them, it was re-
commended by the Department that the agreement
should be so amended as to assign them a location on
the southern branch of the Crow River, to include Red
Cedar Island Lake.
The difficulties connected with our relations with the
Sioux Indians of Minnesota were, a year ago, as ex-
plained in the last annual report, of a serious character;
but they have happily been surmounted.
During the last season articles of agreement and con-
vention were concluded with the Omaha, Ottoe Mis-
souria, Sacs and Fox of Missouri ; loway, Kickapoo,
Delaware, Shawnee, Kaskaskia, Peoria, Wee, Pianke-
shaw, and Miami Indians, all residing within the cen-
tral superintendency, and in the newly organised terri-
tories of Nebraska and Kansas.
Congress appropriated the funds necessary to fslfil
the stipulations of these conventions—the Senate having
ratified all without amendment, except those with the
Miamees and Shawnee'.
There are several other tribes in Kansas Territory
with which it will be necessary to have new conventions
at an early day ; and it is also very important that
arrangements be made as soon as practicable with the
Pawnee and Ponoah Indians of Nebraska, by which
their limits may be restricted and defined, and their as-
saults upon emigrants, and their hostile excursions
against other tribes terminated.
Within the central superintendency no perceptible im-
provement has taken place during the year in the moral
condition of thelndian tribes ; while the unusual and pro-
tracted drouth that has prevailed in that region of coun-
try has caused, in many instances, an almost total failure
of the crops of some of those who have heretofore at-
tempted to cultivate the soil.
some of the tribes will have corn sufficient to supply
• their necessities • and, to guard against inevitable suffer-
ing and want, it been determined to retain a portion
of the annuities of the present year due to such as are
destitute of provisions, and thus afford them the means
necessary to procure food during the approaching winter
and spring.
The residences of the tribes who have recently ceded
their lands should be considered (subject in a few cases
to a contraction of limits) as permanently fixed.
The Osages, Pawnees, and others, have also annoyed
the emigrants, and committed depradations upon them.
. The roads on the principal routes to the Pacific coast
have become very important thoroughfares. Thousands
of emigrants and many merchants who, with their
property to the amount of several millions in value,
pass annually over the plains, are entitled to the protec-
tion of the Government. The weakness of the present
.
military force operates injuriously in various ways, and
it would be much better to withdraw entirely and let
eveigralpts have notice that they must protect themselves
and their property, and leave the Indians to be dealt
with by our agents alone, than to permit the posts to
remain in their present weak and enfeebled condition.
The four principal tribes within the southern superin-
. tendency—the Cherokees Creeks, Choctaws, and Chick-
asaws—continue gradually to improve their condition.
Haying generally adopted the habits and puruits of civi-
lised life, they are probably more prosperous and happy
than any of the other tribes within our borders.
The Seminoles within this superintendency are in a
much bum satisfactory condition, being ignorant and
more or less debased, idle and addicted to dissipation.
The Greeks, within whose boundaries they reside,
complain that they are the instruments and agents
through whom most of the ardent spirits brought into
the country are introduced, and they have appealed to
the Government to interpose to abate this nuisance, which
is attended with much injury to their people.
The United Senecas and Shawnees, and other small
_ bands of Quapaws and Senecas, also within the southern
superintendency, are in comparatively comfortable cir-
eumstances • but the Osages in the same district who
not yet abandoned the chase, are in much less favour-
able condition.
The Choctaw authorities are anxious to put into
ration a general system of neighbourhood or common
schools among the people, but have not the means neces-
sary for its accomplishment. They have requested that
- tale balance of the orphan fund remaining in the hands
thebr agent, unclaimed, may be appropriated for that
PelNeee, but, under existing laws, the department is
te comply.
The Indians in Texas are represented to be now more
peaceful and orderly than they have been during a great
portion of the year.
They have committed many out-
rages upon frontier citizens and continue their forays
beyond our belindarjes,
in spite of the military f
that quarter, and the efforts of the agents toh.ricsedlen.

partment to restrain them. It is in contemplation to

B.IIIGRAiI7T'S LETTER FROM SOUTEI
AusneALlA.

The writer of the following letter, dated September 4,
is a self-taught young man, who has lately emigrated :
" It is thirteen months since I had the pleasure of
speaking to you; but many times have I thought of you
and your kindness to me, for which I cannot thank 'you
too often.- The only way I can return your kindness is
to do all I can for my fellow-creatures, which by God's
help I will.
" I like this country much ; it is the place for steady
working men ; here is a chance for all who try. Tell
any one who thinks of coming out to Australia that
if they work they must get on hero. Any labouring
man can earn enough in two years to buy land and
settle down on it in comfort for life. When I think of
the poor steady labouring man in England returning
home from his work on Saturday night with his Bs. or
10s. for a week's work, and here he can get that for a
day, I wish he were here. I have seen and spoken to
many men from all parts of Australia ; they all agree
with me in saying to the man in England who is strug-
gling for a living to come here. This is a fine country
—plenty of good land, good water ; in some places the
country is very scrubby—some parts full of gum trees,
some parts sandy and no water ; in other parts nothing
is wanting but men. I have been over many hun3reds
of miles of country from the city of Adelaide, which is,
like all English towns, full of bustle, to the out station
of the sheep farmer on the far distant Murray. I have
been 1,200 up the Murray and up the Wakool. Go
where you will good steady men are wanted ; many men
come out here who are not fit for anything ; they will
not work, and like drink, which soon kills them. lam
living at Goolwa, on the river Murray, about nine
miles from the mouth ; it has not a good entrance, but
with care a steam-vessel can always get out, for last
week Captain Cadell came in with the Melbourne
steam-boat. On Tuesday next he will take her up to
the Wakool, when he will proceed up to Albury in New
South Wales, with the Lady Augusta steam-boat. I am
repairing the engines ; I am superintendent of the work
on shore. I can save 51. per week, and live better than
I did in England. I have no fear of a bill coming due
and not being able to meet it, which many better men
than I have in England. I would rather be in any part
of the scrub in this country without ls. than in any Eng-
lish town with 1,0001. I have had troubles and trials
here ; first the death of my only daughter. May I
always be able to say Thy will be done, 0 Lord.' We
must expect death here as well as in Wrentham. May I
always be prepared. I find that God is here 411 well as
in England. I hear that there are many changes in
—. If you have time I should very muck like you to
write a line to me. I have had two letters from ;
he was in Adelaide. I had a fire when I had been out
here about four months, which burnt all my tools, dm,
about 891. worth. I can soon get that up. Though I
am in Australia, I want to trouble you again. I
have sent by this mail to you 1001., which I wish
you will pay over •as under. . . . I paid the 1001.
into the hands of last week. We have a steam-mill
at full work at Goolwa. It is a growing place ; many
settlers round about. They want me to set up my
foundry and smithwork. I shall not do that yet. A.
man must be very cautious about what he does here.
Land is now selling in this township for 350/. per
acre, which two years ago was sold for 11. to many spe-
culators at work. Do not buy any Australian land or
mining property in England, as many of them are of no
account. I have been from the mouth of the river Mur-
ray up to the junction of the Wakool. For the first 200
miles the land is good ; after that not of much use but
for sheep, except the large eats, which are xovered with
gum trees. I saw many places fit for wheat or any kind
of corn. The old settlers give the country a bad name ;
say it is good for nothing but only large sheep farms, tbat
is, a farm as large as the county of Suffolk. The naviga-
tion of the Murray will do away with that. If I can give
any one any information about Australia I will gladly
do so. You may depend on me when I say this is the
place for steady working men. My wife has her health
much better here than in Wrentham. I have only been
ill one day since I left. I hope this will meet you in
the enjoyment of good health ; and may God bless you
and yours is the prayer of myself and family.
" W. N. B."

with my Clerics and the other men in my employ, ail of
whom wished me to prosecute, and I accordingly gave
the prisoner into custody.
Juhn Matthews--I manage the business for Mrs.
Catherine Massey, at No. 116, Leadenhall-street. I
have bad frequent dealings with the prisoner during the
last 6 months. The first transaction I had with the
prisoner was on the 22d of June, when he brought me
some burnt lace and a small lump of silver, for which I
paid him 11/. 133. 6d. The next was on the 7th of July
—two lumps of silver, weighing 221 ounces, for 51. 13s.
4d. On the 20th of July I bought of him a small
lump of gold for 7/. 3s. On the 16th of August,
coins, silver, and burnt lace for 9/. 41. ld. On the 28th
of September, two lumps of silver weighing 424 ozs.,
for 10/. 12s. 6d. On the 2d of October, two lumps of
silver weighing 531 ers.' for 131. 7s. 6d. On this occa-
sion he said his brother, for whom he was selling, had
another lump, which weighed 48 OZ3. 4 dwts., and I
paid him 121. is. for it. He did not come again until
the sth of December, when I remarked that he was
quits a stranger, and that I supposed business was dull
with his brother. He replied that such was not the
case ; but that be had been down in the country. At
that time I bought of him some burnt lace for 21. He
also left a lump of silver, but there was so mach dirt
in it that I declined to buy it until I had remelted it.
That lump of silver produced a bar weighing 45 ozs. 3
dwts., for which I gave him when he called on the fol.
lowing day, 11/. 14s. 7d. On the 19th of December
he sold me two lumps of silver, 48 oz. in weight, for 121.
On the 26th of December he brought another lump of
oze., for which I paid him 121. 12s. 6d. I paid
him sometimes in notes, but latterly in gold, because
he preferred it.
Alderman Lawrance—What is the total amount that
you have paid the prisoner in these dealing I—Witness
—lt is over 1001.
The prisoner was then remanded.

all was arranged, and the lovers were married on Tues•

TUE BURIAL GROUND QUESTION.—The Torrington
Burial Board is quietly taking a decided course, in oppo'
sition to the Bishop of Exeter. That prelate has, in re-
ply to their respectful remonstrance, approved of the
c'induct of his secretary, and says he cannot consecrate
the ground at Torrington because of the 85th canon,
which requires churchyards to be " well and sufficiently
fenced and maintained with walls." The board having ob-
tained the approval of tke Home Secretary in respect
to the ground intended to lee consecrated, have applied to
tie parish vestry to vote the requisite funds. Before the
vestry meeting the Board pledged itself anew to carry
out their design intact—to spend no more on the Epis-
copaliao than on the Dissenting chapel, and to build the
two chapels in all respects alike. The Vestry voted the
sum required with the utmost readiness, and without
offering any exception to the Board's plan ; and the
usual notices for raising the money and for contracts
have been issued. Should, therefore, the Bishop perse-
vere in his refusal to consecrate, there is a prospect that
, w
place ill
the inhabitants of the nolens vaens, be all
buried in unconsecrated earth.
