CAMP NEAR FREDERICKSBURG, TExAs,)
Senfnmhcr % 1910

september ~, 1919.
MAJOR: have the honor to report that have to-
day bad visit from two Camanche chiefs, Pro-
pro-whop, or Buffalo Hump, and Key -tum-see who
are direct from the camp the Clear Fork of the
Brazos, for the purpose Of communicating the re-
suit of a council lately held by the whole camanche
nation, to elect successor to Mo-pir- cho-co late
head-chef, he having died since our last intel-
gcnce from the camp on the Brazos.
The election resulted in the choice of Buffalo
Hump, who, upon assuming the dignity, called up
all the chiefs and warriors speak their minds
freely with regard to their relations with the
whites.
The council lasted ten days, when il was finally
determined that they would be great fools 10 war
with the United States. They had been TO war
with Texas when Texas was weak, and they had
gained nothing by it; and that now Texas was
joined to the United States, would lead to the
destruction Of their nation.
Buffalo Hump says that although he may not be
able 10 stop at small parties, he is determined
To preserve peace, and he hopes that these small
parties will not be considered by the whites as a
cause of war.
He also wishes me TO say, that in the event of
council il is the wish of the Indians that il be held
at the Lano at this place
have the honor TO be- with the highest respect,
your obedient servant,

We learn from private letter dated at
Lagrange, Texas, October IL, that COM
pany which started from that point for
California in May last had been heard
from. The party had arrived al the ella
river, from which point they write that
appearances indicate that gold is as plentl-
full in that region as il is described to be
on the Sacramento. The difficulty in pro-
curing provisions from the settlements of
Texas, which are the nearest sources of
supply, made il impossible for them to stop
to dig for the precious metal.
They write that parties taking that route
for California should go in strong compa-
MES, as the number Of Apache Indians
which infest the way makes it dangerous
for small ones to attempt it. Several
small parties are said to have been cut off
by them.
A number OF respectable persons about
Lagrange, who had been driven away from
that part Of the country upon charges that
they belonged to the "clan of regulators"
had returned, after investigation had shown
they were wrongfully accused. 1t appears
to have been concerted scheme on the
part of the depredators, that such OF them
as might be arrested should implcate the
most deserving citizens, with view to
produce opposition to those who were en-
deavoring TO rid the country Of them. 1t
is feared that they have so far succeeded
in fomenting dscords and suspicious
through the country, that mischevous
ieuds will grow out OF them.
