INDIAN AFFAIRS.

our correspondent thinks that from the efforts now
making, the turbulent and violent of that nation,
will soon be made to feel proper respect for the
laws and rights of their fellow-citizens.
The murdorers of Mr.. Wore have not vet been
arrested, and it is doubtful whether they are in
the Nation. Several of their friends have gone
hunting upon the waters of White river; and it
is not unlikely that these men have gone in that
direction also. We hope that they will fall into
the hands of Pete Milestone.
Several prisoners have been taken to the coun.
Gil recently, under various charges for criminal
offences. All that is required to restore peace
and quiet in that unhappy country is the arrest of
some dozen scoundres who commit murder and
| robbery, and fomont excitement.
John West.@We learn that this individual has
not been hung; but upon the contrary respite
was granted him until the 25th inst. In the
meantime an effort was made by his friends to get
him reprieve. A petition 10 that effect was
signed by the Judge, Jury, Prosecuting Attorney,
and many citizons. We are assured by good au-
thority, that thero is no doubt but the Chief will
grant it. We hope that our friend may be cor.
rect in his supposton.
We have just been informed that Gov. Butler,
the U. S. Agent for the Cherokees, has been in
structed by :he Indian Department, to meet The
Prairie Indians at Cache creek, on Red River, on
tho 25lh November, agreeably to the request
made Of him by those Indians, when he was at
the Waco village last February. Then and there
to renew old treaties, and negotiate new ones,
with these Indians. 1t is expected that large
number of Comanches, Kiowas, and other wild
Indians will be present at that meeting.
We learn that large number of Cherokees
will accompany Gov. Butler TO the Prairie Coun-
Gil upon Red River. We are pleased to learn that
those enterprising Artists, Messrs. Stanley and
Dickerman, will avail themselves of this opportu.
nifty to pay our wild brothers of tho prairies an.
other visit. We hope that their interchangeable per.
severance will yield to them rich harvest of
subjects" during this contemplated visit.
We request that those gentlemen will remem-
Der US to old Taba-que-nah and his accomplished
daughter, Ko-a-to-kla. If we had any to spare,
we would send her lock of our hair. At any
rate will. by the neat mail, send some from the
Uranium Of our mutual friend, Old Festivity.
The Starr famHy.-Wush Starr, Jim Starr.
and - Starr, cousins to the STAIRS who arc the
supposed murderers of Mr.. Wore, have been ar.
rested i'll the Cherokee Nation, upon the charge of
being implicated in the murder of Mr.. Wright's
family on Cane Hill. We learn also that man
by the name Of Reese, who had been elected She.
riff of Illinois District. went to the Council 10
give his bond, and was there arrested upon suspi-
cion of being concerned in the Cane Hill tragedy.
Arch Saunders, one the supposed murderers
of Mr.. Vore is arrested. The U. S. Dragons.
after vigilant search Of some or 10 DAYS, re.
turned to Fort Gibson without apprehondng the
STAIRS at Bcaties Prairie.
Husti-coluc-e-chce This individual has ira.
yelled through the United States, and created quite
sensation among our green brethren of the east
The interest and notoriety that Husti. Rusty ac
quired was not from the fact of his conversion,
and his religious zeal, but from the belief that he
is the nephew Of the renowned Osceola. We
may believe his story of his conversion, &C., bu,
we have good reasons TO contradict his assertion
that he is the nephew of Osceola.
The Bloody Nine.-The Senior editor respect.
fully acknowledges tho receipt of the certificate
of Honorary Membership" conferred upon him
by the renowned and martial corps, the tBloody
Nino." He appreciates the honor thus conferred
upon him, and feels himself much indebted for the
high encomiums pronounced upon him by so dis.
tinguished and an unquestionable authority. His
"vaor" though nntried, and rather discreet, is,
by this chivalric corps pronounced undoubted ;

spirits to enroll under their counfry's banner-to
