Of the Miami Indians,

We are happy to learn from the following extracts
of letters from the subagent for the above Indians TO
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, with which we
have been furnished, that the ludicious measures
adopted by the department have resulted in the peace
fnl removal of those Indians from the State Of In
diana, in compliance with their treaty spulations,
and that they are comfortably their way to
their new homes west of the Mississippi river. The
accomplishment of this object was one of great i'm
pOrtance to the white population i'll the vicinity of the
territory where the Indians resided, it frees them
from the annOyances of an Indian population, and
opens for settlement and cultivation considerable
extent of valuable lands Wash. Union.

behaved so noby at the loss of the Truxton off Tus-
pan, passed through that city Wednesday night
last, bearer of dispatches from the squadron at

Loss OF THE GEN. TAYLoR.-On Saturday night,
tie 10Th inst, between eight and nine O'Clock, the
United States steamer Gen. Taylor took fire alongside
of the wharf of the navy yard at Pensacola, and in
short time burnt TO the waters edge. Great
tions were made by the officers and mechanics Of the
yard TO save the boat. About 400 men, with three
engines and abundance of hose kept work for
about hour and half, but all to no purpose. The
flames prevailed and the boat is considered total
loss. Her engine may be of value, but it must
be much damaged by the fire. There many con-
lectures as to how the fire occurred. Most people
believe it was the work of incendiary, Mr.
Alexander, one of the engineers, this occasion,
took UNUSUAL to put out all the fires, the next
day being Sunday, when was to be made of
the boat. The loss is estimated at from twelve to
fifteen thousand dollars. No insurance.

California, through a wilderness hundreds Of miles
in extent, "a very arduous undertaking we should

may be required, will remain in Santa re and VI

that Gen. Taylor VIII be in POSSESSION Of Mon

1t easy to talk about these thinGs,-but In truth,
with without enemy to encounter, Mexico is an
exceedingly difficult country to traverse, partly on
account Of ts vast extent, and partly by reason OF ITS
mountain barriers, Geep ravines, and barren sands;
its heat, unhealthiness in many places, and difficulty
of procuring supplies The proximity Of the United
States, and the inexhaustible supplies which al
ways be obtained at New Orleans, give advantages
in the prosecution of war with Mexico, which no
other nation possesses and without which the conquest
of the country would be impossible. How ii will
turn out now is by no means certain. We take it
more fighting must be done, and that speedily And
if so, the the better. We could have hoped
after the lessons received the Rio Grande, that the

TREATY WITH THE WINNEBAGoEs.-ln speaking
of this important business, the Washington Union
says:
The provisions of the treaty which has been con-
cuded, will not we believe be published in detail till
ton. We understand, in general, however, that by
United States all the territory which they inhabit,
and to which they have the full tile of occupancy.
This tract embraces believe about 800 600 acres.
In addition this, the Indians cede all the title which
they claim to between 100000 and 100000 of
more, being the right to the same as hunt
ing ground. This treaty, with that entered into last
Spring with the POawatomies, extinguisbes all Indian
title whatsoever to lands comprehended in the new
State of Iowa. The Indians to remove from the
lands thus ceded within one year. Whatsoever OBJ
sacles their presence might therefore, present to the
growth of the population and the development of the
resources of the State of Iowa, thus effectualy

In consideration of this cesson of lands the
part of the Indians, the government of the United
States undertakes TO assign to them suitable tract Of
land west of the Mississippi for their homes.
Of the fund which the treaty spulates to be paid
them, very considerable portion is, by the terms Of
the treaty. be expended under the direction of the
President for their improvement in the arts and
paons of civilized life. sum is set apart for the
establishment of manual labor schools among them.
To maintain these establishments among the different
tribes, some $4,000 per annum are, we believe, al
ready appropriated by the treaties of 1882 and 1887
The additional allowance made for this object by the
present treaty will secure to the Winnebagoes great
facilities for education and improvement.

A SCENE AT MONTEREY Lieut.. Col. Duncan, of
the battalion of artillery as at Palo Alto and Resaca
de la alma, (says late Southern paper) signalized
himself for his bravery at the battle of Monterey.
Col. Duncan is known not to be very fasidous in his
dress-rather negligent in matters of the toet-and
this led to rather ludcrous at the interview
parlcy between Generals Taylor and Ampuda, at
which many of the officers Of both armies pres
ent and Lieut.. Col. Duncan by the invitation ofGen.
Taylor. He unshaven; wore shocking bad
palmetto hat, and seemed to have much more of the
"l-do-as-l-d-d please" air of the Texan ranger
that he had of officer Of high rank among the
regulars. AS he entered the audience chamber with
his usual air of abandon, the Mexican officers
seemed TO have been suddenly and simultaneously
operated on by electrifying machine. They would
look at Duncan and whisper to another, and then
look and whisper again.
At length Don Jose Maria Fregrita, busy little
Mark NEEDLE of fellow, one Of Ampudia's aids who
spoke English passing well, stepped up 10 of Gen.
TaylOr's staff, and pointing to Lieut. Col. Duncan,
begged to be informed ''if that not Capt. Walk

CullOch 7" ''No." "Then he is not at least Tex
an?' "No." The lltte aid, having got this general
assurance that the gallant Duncan was a Texan,
''no how he breahed freer and returned to his gen.
eral and comrade officers to whom he in an under
tone communicated this gratifying information.
To account for the trepidation which the presence
OF the brave Duncan occasioned it is necessary to
state that General Ampuda has received positive in
formation, from his spes that the first opportunity
which may present itself the Texans are, to a man,

The Estray Laws,

We notice of our contemporaries are dissatis-
fed with the provision of the estray laws, which
requires publication be made at indianapolis, and
copy of the paper containing the notice, TO be sent to
every county clerks Office in the State There be
no other reason for changing the Of publica
tion than selfish one, for if the notice were
published in the county where the estray was taken
up and the paper sent TO every clerks Office in the
State-the facilities TO the for finding his pro-
periy would be the same. As remarked by the
Sentinel, some time since, "COuniry Offices have
hard time of it,, and if any patronage could be given
them, without injury 10 the end required, we should
like to get slice-but question whether change
such as is required, would be TO the advantage of
country papers. If the price allowed for publishing
estay notices is enough TO pay for the publication,
and for the extra papers. should like TO see the
law changed-but if the price is no more than for
other legal notices, change in the law would be
any advantage TO country papers, and would deprive
the State paper OF a source of sOme revenue. Tae
end would be attained, unless the paper pub
fishing the notice, sent copy to each clerks Office in
the State-and this could not be done by country pa
pers, cheap it could by paper of large circua-
ton. We have not seen the question considered in
any other light than Of interest to country pub
lishers and such, would rather the law should
remain as it is.-Grant County Dem, Oct. II.
