The Hostile ChiPPewas and sioux
4 PEACE CONCLUDED!

The st. Cloud Advertiser confirms the statement
made BY us some days since, that the Chippewas
and Sioux-who have been for years at war
have finally Suspended hostilties, and smoked the
calumet of Peace. It says that q party Of seven.
ty-fye Indians Of both sexes, and composed of
each Of these tribes passed through that town on
Friday last. A council Of peace had been held
thro' the intervention Of the Indian Agents, and
now the Sioux of this party were accompanying
the Chippewas to their homes, to receive the hos
FATALITIES Of their nation. OF this band were sew.
eral aged squaws, who were toiling under burdens
heavy enough for mules. These burdens were
composed Of tent poles, tent awnings made of
deer hides, and various cooking utensils with
what seanpty provisions they had. The younger
squaws gave . salqtatiop to the town as they
passed along, in the form Of sqaalliag papooses
strapped on their backs. o'F'
The children were upon sleds made of birch
bark and drawn along by their mothers while
the valiant warriors struggled along by their sides
on snow shoes,.supporting only the weight of q
pipe, blanket and gun, and showing their friend
ly feelings BY smoking each otnerss pipes. Some
of the warriors had their faces painted black,
which is said to be the sign Of mourning; which
with the feathers stuck In their long black hair,
(the indications Of the number Of thcir enemies
they had scalped,) gave to them very hideous
appearance. .

A Winter Trip to Red River.

The St. G4Yad Adgeflisesr says that party of
eighteen men started, from there q short time
since, for Bots de Sioux City, u the headwaters
of navigation on Red River. The object of the
expedition was to carry supplies to tho proprie-
tors and settlers of that new and promising
town, and their leader was j. @. Moulton, ESQ.,,
Of ST. Anthony. They were provided withnu-
merous teams and sleds, we'll equipped with
blapkste, provisions, grain and other necessary
articles. One of the party has just returned for
axes and shovels, as all of those which thsy took
with them we're already broken in cutting and
shovelling through the drifts of snow. On Mon
day, the 10th, a brother of Mr.. Noulton's was
brought into st. Cloud with both feet badly fro
zen. He had been sent on tahead of the party
after they had proceeded some City miles from
this town, to End astopping place for the night ;
but becoming snow blind, lost his way and wan
dered about for four days before hs vas found
by two Of the party who went in search of him.
We regret to say thst j, u. Moaltop, Esq, who,
after becoming alarmed on account Of his broth
er's absence went in search Of HIN, has himself
become lost, and at still later accounts had not
returned. All the party had been afflicted with
the severest form of ophthalmia, or sore eyes,
sulting from the exposure and the constant glare
OF the snow. A journey to the Red river coun-
try at thig season Of the year is no agreeable
trip. af .agi,a 80 lsIei sTaaf si1o9aq 1oaf1r 1
