The PoTTowArAMIE TREATY This treaty rati-
fed by the Senate, is one of great importance,
from the fact that the Indians, parties to this act
have always had English prejudices, and are in
imical to the United States. The negotiation was
commenced at Washington last fall, by General
Gibson and Major Andrews, as commissioners,
with large delegation of Pottowatamie chiefs,
and was resumed and terminated at Council
Bluffs, north of the State of Missouri, and at
the Usage river, west of the same State, by
MAJOR Andrews, as senior commissioner, with
Major Thomas H Harvey, of Missouri, and Mr.
G. G. Matock, of Tennessee, associate COM
missioneIs.
BY this treaty, the possessory right of the Potto-
watamies 10 some six millions of acres of land is
extingushed-fve millions of valuable land living
between the Missouri and Mississippi, west of the
State of Iowa and north of the State of Missouri,
and one million of acres on the Usage river, west
OF the latter State. The State oflowa will by this
treaty gain front on the Missouri river ofseveral
hundred miles; and that State and the United
States obtain possession Of five millions of fruitful
and saleabe land, towards which large emigra
ton has already been directed.
The Pottowatamies now also pledge their featy
to the States, and are within a short distance of a
permanent garrison and are placed immediate
ly adjoining the bravest tribes Of Indians on this
continent, whose attachment to the people and
government of the United States is immovable-
we mean the Shawnees and Delawares We
have, by this treaty, lost the danger of enmity,
and secured the allegiance of large tribe Of In
dams.
NAvAL.-The frigate United States arrived at
Port Praya on the 18th of June, in the very shor
passage of twenty-five days. The following is an
interesting extract of letter from one of her
officers, dated
PoRT PRAYA June g. 1886

ted states s:h fine opportunity Of writing offers
yesterday morning, after a passage Of twenty-five
days, having called in at Porto Grande, where we
met the Dolphin, and learned of the Whereabouts
OF Commodore Skinner, sc. Thus far, we have
every reason to be gratified with the sailing quail
ties OF our ship, and thankful for our safe arrival
on the station. AS yet, but one accident has oc-

yard to the deck, and was instantly killed. This,

hopes AND anticipations, and awakened many
an anxious thought, in bosoms too, where thought

AS regards news, must acknowledge myself
quite at a loss what TO communicate that would
interest you in the slightest degree and, indeed,
the only thing which can say, is the impressions

melancholy that prefer not to weary you with
recital of them. OF course society is word
