There was a Crow brave in the delegation who
came as far as Brunswick, when, whilst the boat
lay up during the night, he suddenly left, without
notice to any one, and no trace could be obtained
Of him. The suppositon entertained was, that he
had become home sick or tired, and would attempt
to return to his nation This was strengthened by
his observing boat going xp that evening, the
FIRST be had seen passing up. In the evening he
! appeared as cheerful as usual, and, when he LETT,
! be borrowed the knife Of one OF the Chey snnes.
Very diligent search was made for him that night
and the next morning, but no trace of him was dis
covered. With the exception of Friday, the others
have not before seen the white settlement. Their
nations gave them up to the Great Spirit, when
they selected them to 60; and, in the event of the
death or loss of any of them, it will be difficult
| to explain and reconcile it to the nation. This is
peculiarly the case in this instance, as there was
but one Crow in the delegation, and he was along
without interpreter, except as ho could be COM
inundated with by signs.
| The journey, to the Indians, since their arrival
in the settlements, has been one Of great wonder,
and in some cases of alarm and fear. Except what
they knew nothing of the white mans lodges; but
their greatest astonishment was in seeing steam
boat and their fears were excessive upon going
upon il. They called it the fire horse, and IT was
considerable time before they could reconcile them
selves to "the noise and confusion" OF blowing of
steam, the stes m whistle, rim ging the bell, &c. AT
first the motion of the boat made some Of them sick;
but they are among the most Intelligent OF their
respective tribes and in time became reconciled and
ouieted They were highly delighted whom they
saw the s'fre horses brother (another sseamboat)
with papoose' (the yawl) hitched to his tail,
ascending the river. Thus far, soon their ap-
prehensons of danger had subsided, they became
quite inqusitive aud highly delighted with every
thing they met with. They will remain few days
in the city and then proceed, under charge of Major
Fitzpatrick and the interpreters, to the east The
! sopers and Indians on the 18th September. The
presents and provisions for the Indians arrived at
the treaty ground the 20th, and their distribu-
| ton was concluded on the 23d, which day Col.
| Mitchell broke up his encampment, and the party
and United states troops commenced their return.
