1 We are happy to learn that the Indians East G
the Brazos, have become quiet again, and hav
given such assurances of their pacific disposition
1t that MIR. George Barnard has returned to his ira
| ding house. Mr.. Barnard sent a number OF friend
= indians to their camp few weeks since, and the
. found the tribes in the greatest excitement A W.
l. | council had been held, and many of the warrior
e., | were desrous of commencing general war az ain:
d | all white men the Chief however at length pac
fed them by telling them that the whites East {
the Bra%oS were too powerful and could destro
, them IT appears that they have concluded to re
man at peace with the Eastern settlements bu
declare that they will fight the Western people
who have killed many OF their warriors. These
