Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1841-1853, 1846-04-16

FROM TExAs-The Houston Telegraph states that
Coils. Butler and Lewis have received information that
a large number of the chiefs of the Caddoes, Wacoes,
Wichitaws, l%onies, Reaches, and other prairie tribes
of Indians, will shortly assemble at Camanche Peak,
for the purpose of concluding a treaty with their
" Great Father, " the President of the United States.
Among the tribes that will assemble, is a large band,
mastering about two thousand warriors, who have
never before approached the white borders. They are
allied to the Lipans and are supposed to be a branch
of the Seraties. All the Indians on this frontier en-
tertain the utmost respect and awe of the power OF
the President of the United States, and manifest a
strong desire to cultivate the good will of the country
since it is attached to the Union. The Wacoes who
recently stole several horses from the Commissioners
when they found the animals did not belong to the
Texans, came into camp and gave them up, stating
that they did not know they belonged to the people Of
their Great Father, or they would not have stolen
them.

The Cumberland Road bill Lost.

The Union of the 7h brings US the final pro-
ceedings Of tie House on the above named bill. 1t
observes that the bill is " killed stone dead money
bill and land hll-land bill and money bill-there
they lie in the same grave, past hope of redemption
or resurrection for the session. Having performed
the funeral rites, (Which a glance at the proceedings
will show was a noisy business,) the House again
passed into Committee of the Whole on the state of
the Union, and took up the Senate bill to provide for
one regiment of mounted rifemen, and for the estab-
.lishment of military stations on the route to Oregon.
A debate followed ON the naturalization Ldus.
A letter from Judge Wick of the same date says
"Garrett Davis offered an amendment to my
amendment, grating on it a grant of 100000
acres of land to each of the old States which have
not heretofore received land grants,-and it was
added to my amendment by the votes of New York
and Maine democrats. in committee of the whole,
where no ayes and noes are taken, with the view
to defeat our bill, by making it such as to excuse
themselves from voting for it, as they had held out
they would. The South were ready to vote for my
amendment by itself, and did vote against Davis's
amendment. So much for that. If the South is hard
it is honest"
The vote in the House was as follows On concur
ring with the committee of the whole, in its amended
bill-75 to 109; whereupon the question required on
the engrossment of the original money bill, which
was lost by ayes 70, noes l06.
