Taere was Grow brave in the delegation who
came as lar as Brunswick when, whilst the boat
lay up during the night he suddenly loft. without
notice 10 any one, and no trace could be obtained
OF him. The suppositol entertained was, that
| he had become home-s;ck or tired, and would al
tempt to return to his nation. Tbs was strength
enod by his observing boat going up that eve-
| ming, the first he had seen rassing up. Tn the
evening he appeared as cheerful as usual-aud
when he left he borrowed the knife of one of the
| Cheymees. Very diligent search was made for
him that night and the next morning, but no trace
| of him was discovered. Col. Mitchell offers a
| reward Of one hundred dollars for finding and
delivering him at his office in this city. If he
has not COMMITTED suicide or been unfairly deal,

IL t,ln ha Sha -,ii,
the superintendent With the exception of FRI
! day, the others have not before seen the white
| settlement Their nations gave them up to the
| Great Spirit whom they selected them to go
| and in the event OF the death or loss of any ore
of them, it will be difficult to explain and recon-
cile il to the nation. This is peculiarly The case
| in this instance, there was hut one Crow in the
delegation and he was along without an interpret
/ er, except as he could be communicated with by
| signs.
The journey. to the Indians. since Their arrival
| in the settlements, has been one Of great wonGer.
and in some cases of alarm and fear. Except
what they had seen at Fort Laramie and Fort
! kearny, they knew nothing Of the uhits mans
lodges; but their greatest astonishlnent was in
seeing steamboat, and their fears Were excess
| i've upon going upon If. They called it the fire
! horse. and ii was considerable time before they
| could reconcile themselves to ''the noise and con-
| fusion" OF blowing off steam, the steam whistle,
ringing the bell, SC. A. first the motion Of the
| boat made some Of them sick ;bnt they are among
the most intelligent Of their respective tribes and
| in time became reconciled and qu.eted They
were highly delighted when they saw the ''ire
horses brother (another steamboat) Nth a pap
oose" (the yawl) hitched to his tail, ascending
| the river. Thus far, rs soon as their apprehen-
sions of danger had suhs'ded, they became quite
! inqusitive and highly delighted with everything
! they met with. Taey will remain few days in
! the city ani then proceed, under charge Of Ma
| lor Fitzpatrick and the interpreters, 10 the East.
The treaty was concluded and signed by the
! Commissioners and Indians on the 18th Septem-
Der. The presents and provisions for the Ind ars
. arrived at the treaty ground on the Goth, and their
| distribution was concluded on the 23a on which
day Col. Mitchell broke up his encampment, and
