We have been politely favored by the Co
vernon, with the letter from capt. Smelling,
and the Indian speeches, which we have
this day published, and we most sincerely
congratulate our fellow-citizens upon the
evidence which they afford, that the late
formidable combination of Indians is entirely
dissolved, and that the severe chastisement
which they have received, has so humbled
them, that they are ready to submit to any
terms which the government may think pro-
per to impose.

FORT HARRISON, Dec. IS, 1911.
SIR-I have the honor herewith to en-
close you a talk delivered me this day by
otone-Eater, an Eel river chief, and the ora
tor OF the Kickapoos, (the same who spoke
IN Council at Nincennes, previous to the
MARCH of the eXpcdition) in behalf of the
hostile tribes. They were on their way, &
are still DESTROYS to go to Vincennes !; but in
consequence of your expressing wish that
they should not come at present, thought it
my duty to prevent them. They are now
encamped near this post, waiting your ex-
cellency's determination. There are among
them, two Winebagoes, one Kickapoo, and
one Piankeshaw, who were in the late ac-
ton, and / trust, would be no pleasant
sight to your unfortunate and mutilated SOL
diers.
They say the Prophet has made his es-
cape, and is now among the Hurons.
With the highest respect, have the ho-
nor to be, your EXccllency's obedient SER
want,

SPEECH OF STONE-EATER.
{ addressed to GoUernor Harrison.
Father-You are always too quick in your
business, the Indians are not yet ready,
when they are, they are all going to Vincen-
mes to speak of peace.
Father-4ou ought to know that the In
uiduS are very poor, the women q Children
have nothing to eat, the Kickapoos & Wine
bagoes have told the Miamies to speak for
them to our Father, to take pity on them, for
they are very DESTROYS of peace. 1t is true
what you say, the Indians have used you
bad, but we hope you will forget it, what
ever you say, they are now willing to do.
Father know what am now saving is
the same as fspoken to yourself. Once you
thought the Miamies were against you, that
they were about joining the Prophet, it was
no such thing.
Father-The time since the chiefs sent
me to Vincennes is ten days, i shall wait ten
more to hear from you, when, if you suffer
me, shall come to Vincennes, and shall be
happy to see you once more.
oheech Of The Orator Of The Kickahoos.
.4ddreSsed TO Governor Harrison.
Last summer 1 was very glad to see you
at NintcnDes, what you then told me was the
truth, the white flag YOU then gave me, !
yet hold, hope you will take pity on me.
Fatber-The Kickapoos and Winebagoes
intention was not to strike the white people,
but the Prophet told them many lies, and
made them do il. Now, Father, what YOU
tell me will do, will not strike the white
people any more you may depend, father,
that not one white man will be injured by
the Kickapoos, Winebagoes, Piankesliaws
& PottawattImies.
Father-The time the Prophet game to
the Wabash, he said he had communication
