THE INDIAN TERRITORY.

We have already noticed some of the late reports
from the Far West bringing information of the il
legal intrusion of white persons upon the Territory
of the Government reserved for the reception and
domicile of the Indian tribes These acts, we are
sorry to say, though not gross in fact appear
ance as certain lamentable enterprises we have all
had SO much reason to deplore, partake neverthe-
less of the same lawless character, and are obnox-
ious to penalties specially made and provided in
acts of Congress for the protection and quiet of the
Indian Territory.
We have received some evidence of the extent to
which these unauthorized proceedings have gone in
the shape of placard transmitted by mail to this
Office, and of which We annex copy The par
ties whose names are attached as the heads of this
provisional government we are informed, are
persons claiming to be Wyandoas, tribe of In
dams residing on small reservation near the mouth
of the Kansas river. OF course this provisional
government is merely visionary one, and equal
ly imaginary with the so.descrbed citizens" /" le-
gal voters" precincts &c. of the proclamation

The COMET now visible was discovered June 10Th,
at Gottingen by Mr. KLINKERruEs. 1t was Htst
seen at the National Observatory in this city on The
2Sth July, and notice was published in the Ma
tonal lntelLgencer of its observed place on the
2Sth, and that it was then probably visible to the
naked eye. II has been observed on every favorable

To the EJitors Of tie National Latel5igeacer:
Your paper Of this morning contains paragraph from
the New York Express stating that
1.-THE Star OF the East, about to sail for Para takes
out in sections two small steamers Of about seventy
eighty EACH one is of sixty tons the other ninety
with the machinery, boilers, &C. They be put to-
geher at Para and 20 up the Amazon its Peruvian
tributary. They built mere for the Peruvian Gov
eminent, aud Peruvian officer goes out with them They
bought mainly for exploration rather than for
merce."
The above is correct The " Star Of the East new
and beautiful barque sailed Of New York pro
badly sailed on Saturday for Para. But my object il
writing this is give credit where credit is due
The steamers mentioned built and shipped under
the direction Of DR.. JOSEPH WHTwoRE native of New
buryport Massachusetts, and from his childhood cti-
of New Hampshire of the most energetic and en-
terprising men have known After entering upon
his profession he volunteered surgeon in the Florida
war; in which he performed the duties of soldier and
surgeon acceptably After returning 20 New Hampshire
he went California where he spent several years. and
from there went Lima in Peru. He soon became &C
quanted with Mr.. CLAY, our present Minister who saw
and appreciated his talents and enterprise In March last
he contracted with the Peruvian Government to come to
New York and the two mentioned to be
built and to deliver them Loreto fifteen hundred miles
up the Amazon, the Peruvian Government guarantylng
to him that there should be any Interference on the
part OF brazil lie arrived IN New York IN April last
contracted for the steamers, purchased in Portland
Maine the Star Of the East AID now on his way to
the mouth Of the Amazon. God speed him
Dr. Whitmore was in this city on Thursday last and
the writer had the opportunity Of couversing with him as
to his views and prospects He is perfectly sangune Of
accomplishing his purpose Of reaching Loreo with his
steamers, and from thence returning to Lima the
mountains.
From the known energy and enterprise Of Dr. Whit
more it my belief that he will be Of great service to
his country in conducting this novel enterprise lie has
had several interviews with Lieut. MAuRY since his ar
rival here in April and called the President Of the
United States when here THURSDAY to whom he spoke
Of the immense Importance this Government Of having
