Chippewa Treaty.

As this treaty made at Lake Superior. is q
matter of much interest to the people Of Mime
sofa, we have endeavored to obtain correct in
formation in regard t. it, and are much indebt-
ed to Messsrs. Cakes. Russell and Beaulieu, for
the following account:
The line of purchase commences at the head
waters of Snake river. running thence in a
straight line to the mouth of the Savanna river
where it empties into the st. Louis river thence
up the St. Louis river to the mouth OF the swan
river thence up said river to its head thence
in a straight line to the Macon or Sturgeon
Lake thence in q straight northerly line to
the boundary line of the British possessions.
near Rainy Lake. All the Land East or TINS
line owned by the Lake Superior and Brisfort
Indians comprising an area of country, equal
In extent to the State of Ohio, and including
all the Mineral lands upon our Northern from
tier. has been coded by these Indians to the
United States.
The Mississippi Indians refused to sell their
land, and made the boundary line between
them and the Lake Superior Indians. the line
Of purchase.
The treaty was made by Agents Herrimen OF
Minnesota, and Gilbert of Michigan.
The amount paid for this valuable mineral
land, is as follows: $4,000 in money. $4,000 in
goods, $1,000 for school purposes, $4,000 for
agricultural improvements, blacksmlths,
equal to $1,000 each $4,000
In all $4,000 to be paid annually for twenty
years. In addition to this, the half-breeds are
to have $4,000 in one payment There are also
to be distributed 200 guns, 100 rifles. 500 bea-
yer traps, 300 pounds powder and shot. $1,000
In ready-made clothing. 100000 is reserved
to be paid to the orders Of the chiefs, for the
payment of their debts.
The treaty gives to each head OF family, in
GLIDING half breeds. eighty acres Of land, to be
located in Wisconsin, Michigan, or Minnesota.
democrat.
Those who are anxious to define the western
boundary Of the lands treated for, can come
very near the line of demarcation, by running
direct line on the map from the head of Snake
river, north to the British boundary, and thence
by that boundary to its point of intersection
with Lake Superior.
One of the wisest provisions of the treaty,
not mentioned by the Democrat in the article
above quoted, is that the Lake Superior Chip
pewas agree to quit claim all right and title
to lands situated west of this treaty boundary,
and the Mississippi Chippewas, in turn, do the
same in regard to the lands coded by their
Lake brethren, as provided in the treaty. This
separates the interests of the Lake and River
Indians forever, and leaves the latterfrce to ne
gotiate for the sale of their lands they please
and We only regret that that event did not
take place at the same time the Lake domain
was purchased.

will be hailed with pleasure by every Rcpub-
lican, every true Wing in the North West, as
betokening more signal and national results
that are to be followed up in 1856.

litical point of view the news is very impOr-

Sept. Partial returns only have been received
at San Francisco but enough was known to set
at rest all doubts as to the political complexion
of the next Legislature. The True Demo-
, Gratis had beaten their opponents, particular
, ly the Brodcric faction. in manner entirely
satisfactory to themselves There is no great
doubt. however, whether the Legislature will
be able to agree upon United States Senator

dates for COngrcss-Messrs. Denver and Her.
bert-are undoubtedly elected. But the fact

INTERESTING ScESE.-We take TIE following
from the last number Of the Chicago Christian
Times:
BAPrisMs.-An interesting baptismal scene
occurred at the First Baptist Church in this
city, on Sabbath OF last week. Ofthe four per-
sons baptized three were Swedes, making about
twenty-five of this interesting people who have
been added to the First Church since brother
Frisk commenced his labors last November. At
the water and also at the communion after
wards, this company of disciples, embracing
Swedes, Norwegians and Danes united in sing.
ing one Of their hymns in their own language,
the rest of the church afterwards singing one
OF ours. The scene was heavenly, to see the
representatives of different and distant nations
thus mingling their accents in the song of Re-
demption. 1t was the realization of the Sa-
viours promise :-"They shall come from the
East and from the West, and from the North
and from the South, and shall sit down in the
kingdom of God" 1t is contemplated soon to
organize an independent church of Scandina-
Wan Baptists. and to ordain brother Erisk nc

The Yazoo Democrat., 1854-02-01

A proposition is now pending before Con-
gress (says the Democratic Pioneer) for the crea
ton of the office of heutenant-general it is
generally understood to be conferred upon GEN
eral Scott The disposition to create titles is a
growing one in the country-tites ''fulI Of
sound and fury, signifying nothing" We have
no sympathy with this love OF title. We OBJ
iect to it, We should not like to President
Pierce dubbed "His Majesty" nor Gen. Scott
Lieutenant General Scott" If the Office of
lietenant- general had been established in the
outset we should have rejoiced in seeing Gen.
Scott wearing its honors just as we do rejoice
in beholding him the aurel-crowned possessor
of the highest military title known to our ser
vice. But when he has reached the top round
of the ladder of military fame, we are opposed
to creating an office and comforting nominal
honors upon him. IF ''major- general of the
army of the United States" is not sufficiently
high-sounding for him, it is for the people, who
like republican simplicity. Washington was
nevera lieutenant-general, and we see no reason
why Scott should be advanced above hun in IT,
tie. If it is desired to increase General Scott's
pay, we have no objection, provided it is done In
a direct and ordinary way but we are opposed
to the creation of title higher than those now
known to orr laws. 1t would not add a cubit
to Gen. SCOTS noble stature as craven in the
popular mind; and when mems real services
fail to engender just appreciation, it is folly to
attempt to supply the hiatus by resort to
legal fiction.
