were certain charges affecting the moral

Der of our citizens holding military commissions

play on the occasion of laying the Of

Grcys, and the Walker Sharpshootcrs, of this CITY,
had abandoned their former arrangements for cell
ebrating the Fourth of July, and will be in attend
ance at the Capitol on that day.
With their customary public spirit, committees
from these companies have gone to Baltimore, to

the adjoining States.
Civic societies or associations will receive a like
cordial welcome.
The rendezvous will be at the City Hall, whittier
all who intend to join in the procession will resort,
between ten and eleven o'clock. In consequence
of the warm weather, the line will move from that
place directly to the Capitol. The time to be
sumed in marching will not, probably, exceed IF
teen minutes.
Such regulations will be adopted for the Capitol
grounds will insure order and accommodation
to all who may be present.
The United States Marshal (Mr. Wallach) has
been charged with the duty of making the neces-
sary arrangements, and to him oil military and
civic associations desiring to unite in the ceebra
ton are requested to report without unnecessary
delay.

Among the passengers of the steamer Duroc, re-
Gently arrived at ST. Louis from the Missouri river
were MIR. P. d. Papin and about thirty yoya-
geurs, who are in charge of some six Mackinaw
boats loaded With buffalo robes, and consigned to
Mcssrs. p. Choutcau, jr., & Co.
The Missouri Republican, Of the 2lst inst, says;
''Mr. Papin corroborates the report relative to
the existence of smallpox among the Sioux In
numerous deaths have occurred III that tribe by
cholera. II Ia supposed that during the winter
from three to four thousand Of these Indians have
died by these combined diseases. The smallpox is
still raging, and, az the Sioux continue to have
free intercourse with other tribes in their vicinity.
spread through large portion of the Indian coun-
try. Both diseases were introduced by the emil
grants to Oregon and California. The various trad
ing posts throughout the country were well sup
piled with medicines, and the traders have been
enabled in consequence to render efficient service
in checking these new and fearful diseases
"rhe express bearing the circular OF Colonel
d. d. Mitchell, superintendent of Indian Affairs,
to the several tribes Of indiana living south OF the
Missouri river, met beyond the Big Cheyenne,
and near Grand river, on the 10Th or 10th uit. he
had been well equipped and we'll supplied with
provisions at Fort Pierre, and 1t was supposed that
hc prosecuted his journey thence rapidly. 1t is
presumed that by this time many OF the tribes have
been notified to repair to Fort Laramie. Unless
the prevailing sickness should interfere, the at
tendance at this treaty, between the Indians and
United States Government, will be early and
general.
"Major Hatton, Indian Agent, came down on
the Mackinaw boats Of Mr.. Papin as far as Belle
vue, and thence on tho steamer Duroc to St.Jo-
seph, where he has remained on business. Captain
Joseph A. Sire was also taken on board at Bel
levue."
