Late Removal OF Indians.

W. 'cHTh iToii ,"p'' Oyucu, VINO WllVcu
here on the 10th inst, nine days from Fort
Wnshita, that all the United States Indians,
ordered out of this State, had ARRIVED safely
mt their several points of destination, with the
exception OF the Dclawarcs, who entered into
treaty with the Chicknsaws, their old allies,
for n permanent settlement of their people
The Chickasaw and Delaware Chiefs being re-
sponsible for the good behaviour of the Della.
wnrcs, and In case of their becoming obnoxious
or troublesome to the Chickasaws, they are TO
be removed to their own territory without
further expense To the Government Of the
United State
No trouble wns experienced with these In.
'!ss;;s 'iiiti aNcr crossing the Trinity, when
assistance from Fort Worth became necessary
| Again, on Red River, troops from Fort Washi
In had to bc sent for, but the treaty entered
into with Edmund Pckings, Chief of the
Chickasaws, prevented an entire breaking up
and return of tho Deawarrs to Texas. Some
seven Chcrokces entered their camp in the
nation, soon af,cr the troops from Washta had
lcft, bidiling defiance to tho agent and tho
troops mt tho post. An express was despatch
ed after tho command under 1t. N Bart
Pcarcc, who, by marching NIL night got back
by daylight and surprised the Indians by sur
rounding their fire, and, with bayoncts prc.
scntcd, demanded their surrender An at.
tempt was made to resist, but the close prox-
unity OF the bayonct soon cooled their courage
All were taken prisoners, their whskcy kegs
Knocked in the head, thoir horses packs, arms.
DC, under the laws of the nation, were con.
dcmncd, and before Capt Ogden lcil, all were
on the march for Van Buren,, where u reward
of 5000 90 per head awaited their delivery.
| Lieut. Pcarcc is entitled to much credit for
the energy displayed in this affair. For two
nights and days he was Oh duty without sleep,
and although jaded and worn out he took the
road and returned in time to max prisoners Of
them all. This prompt action OH his part
saved the agent much trouble and difficulty
ana rendered the frontics of Texas on Red
River much service by tho arrest of these des-
pcradocs.
These Indians only the day before had been
fired on by the people Of Preston in consc.
quencc of an attack made by them on some of
their citizens. ~
We further learn that sale Of tho Govern.
mcnt train was advertised to he held on the
10th inst. In the meantime, Col. Capron,
Agent, had gone to Fort Arbuckle with some
Nomanches to recover, IL possible, from the
kickapoos some stolen horses Col. G. we
understand would leave immediately ailer the
sale, aud in all probability will be here by the
LIST prox 1t Is source Of felicitation that
those Indians are removed nj last, II has long
been complaint on the part of the native In.
dans that the Delawarcs and others have done
more injury to the game than all the native
tribes. Their superior skill in firearms gives
them great advantage; and besides, the foreign
, Indians, just removed, have beon in tho hnb
! of destroying game for their hides alone.--Su

animated beings and impcllcd bodies, il may
/ be remarked that size and construction seem
to have little influence, nor has comparative
strength, though one body giving any quantity
of motion to another is said to lose 80 much
of its own. The sloth is by no means small
