INTERESTING INDIAN CoUNc1L.-We have hereto

called by the Creeks, and their meeting at the Creek
Council Ground On Thursday evening last arrived
there and found olerablo large assemblage of Indians

sent the broken days. to all his neighboring brethren
including the Chppeways Wyandots, and Comanches,
inviting them to meet the first Of May 1t brought
about by the Creeks unfortunately killing months

the Comanches (of whom there seven branches) all
night-and were permitted the following morning to
depart After proceeding some ten miles on their way
they halted for the purpose killing buffalo While

Comanche camp, where they were followed by three of

young men, Echo Halo, who is Creek, and the only
one Of the company that spoke their language
duced to go in pursuit Of them When he arrived at the
camp he found them in ring ready to be put to DEATH

vailed on them finally to release the whole party,

HALO played false part and told the Comanches that
the objects OF the Creeks in calling the Council was to
form league for the purpose Of destroying the Osages
and all other prairie tribes, and that searching his
saddle bags they found plenty tobacco alter he had
informed them that he had no more-hence the aluson
to the false tongue This representation is credited by
the Creeks. the Comanches further told the Creek
messengers that they had aprevous engagement meet

meeting but would learn il when they arrived at the
Salt Pain; and further that he knew, wna his brothers

grow out oft that will effect their peace During the

brave and dangerous tribe of Indians, residing IN
the Northern part Of the Spanish country beyond the
Rocky Mountains have been committing depredations on
the Spanish settlements Of that region and have cut of

Eutaws bold and active, are very well mounted and
first rate horsemen, live in movable skin lodges,
