 INDIAN TREATY


 A treaty was concluded at the Agency in the Creek Nation, on the 4th inst, between Mai. Wm. Armstrong, Gov P NJ. Butler, Col. James Logan, and Thomas L. Judge, commissioners for the U. S. on the first part, the Creek tribe of Indians on the second part, and the Seminole tribe ol Indians on the Sd part.
 This treaty provides for the removal of all Seminole Indians now intruding upon the lands of the Cherokees, and their concentra- ton in body with those scattered through the Creek Nation, upon Little River fork of the Canadian, in the Creek country; howev- CT, the privilege is granted to those who wish to do so, to settle ill any part of the Creek country
 To the Seminoles are conceded the right to organize separate community so far as the management of their annuities and town regulations, the latter subject to the general control of the Creek General Council.
 This treaty also provides that the Semi nole Indians shall remain in unmolested pos session of their property, and all trials ln- volving the right of property growing out of sales or transactions which occurred previ- ous to the ratification of this trealy, shall be subject to the decision of the President of the United States. This is an important clause and covers delicate question. The Semnoles heretofore objected to coming un- der the Creek Govt, lest they might be mo- tested in their negro property, and were fear ful of the administration of Creek laws.- All unsettled questions about the title to ue- groes in possession of the Seminoles previous to the ratification of this treaty will be set tied by the President; afterwards, by the Creek General Council.
 The Seminoles are to have representation in proportion to their population, in the Creek General Council. The whole arrangement is similar to the one made by the Choctaws and Chickasaws.
 To the Cherokees, our citizens on this frontier, who were apprehensive of an Indian war growing out of the intrusion of the Sem- noles on the Cherokee lands, and to the Government, this is a highly important trea- ty. For long while Indian affairs on this frontier have been in an unsettled condition while the Cherokee Nation was suffering from intestine war, rebellion, and bloody massacres-which required all the talent an( energy of an able Chief, and the diplomacy of the Government Agents to prevent iron bursting into fearful conllagraton--th, Seminoies-as soon as they were landed il the Indian country, intruded in large bodie on the Cherokee lands, made settlements committed depredations upon the property of the Cherokees and otherwise rendered themselves obnoxious to the owners of tho soil By this treaty they have agreed to gC peaceably and quietly to the Creek Nation of which they form constituent portion and the success in making this treaty mus be attributed to the skilllul management o the Superintendent and his associates, whosc knowledge of Indian affairs and whose higl standing among the Indians enabled them tC eonsumaic so desirable an object al so incon siderable an expense. Even the consldera ton allowed those tribes Is appropriated tt worthy objects and furnishes an evidence that the commissioners had in view the spe eial interest of the indians. The sums al lowed the Creeks are to be appropriated {. the establishment of schools III the nation and to the seminoles is 10 be expended Il agricultural implements Co be distributed t' them annually.
 l. k stipulated that iI any individual oI th' Seminole tribe refuses or declines Ia remove out ei the Cherokee Nation within six mestl after lhc ratification of this treaty, hc sllal not he allowed any of the benefits growius ont ol the same.
