Treaty with the PaWnees.

Gen. DENVER, Commissioner of In
dian Affairs, met the Pawnee Indians
in Treaty at Table Greek, near Ne
braska City, on September 24th. We
have been waiting the reception of the
Ncws that we might obtain particulars;
but thus far have been unable to learn
anything from th%atsource. We learn,
however. that the Treaty was conclud-
ed on the 9th, lasting three days,
that by this Treaty the Pawnees sell
to the United States all their right to
land in Nebraska Territory, saving
only a strip of twenty by thirty miles
on the Loup Fork, to which they are
to remove Immediately. Mission
schools are to be established among
them, to which they agree to send all
their children over the age of ten years,
and their young men are to serve as
apprentices to various trades.
Capt. WHIrE, Gen. DENVER's Sec
rotary, was sent immediately after the
close of the Treaty to the Sioux nation
of Indians to havei "talk" with them.
We learn from Gen, REDEIELD, who
passed this city last week, that bemet
Capt. White at the Ponca villages
There will be no difficulty whatever in
securing a stalk" with the Siouxs and
getting from them any kind and num-
Der of promises or agreements. To
these they have heretofore, paid but
little attention, and we presume will
do no better in the future, until they
are severely chastissd.
Nebraska advertiser., 1857-10-29
New Arrangement.

We have associated with US, in the
mechanical department of the cad
vertiser," Mr.. C. S. LANGDoN, a prac-
teal printer of the highest order. Mr..
Langdon has been Foreman of our
Office since its commencement, and is
wen acquainted with our people, and
the business of the establishment
We feel confident the arrangement will
prove advantageous to prOprietOrs and
patrons.
As is well known to those familiar
with the Advertiser Office, we have
thus far given our personal attention
to both the mechanical and Editorial
departments. To do which, has taxed
our time, and what talent we may
possess, to a greater extent than any
one has an idea. Either department
is as much as one man can do justice
by.
To edit apaper properly, is in itself,
the severest task that can be imposed
upon an individual; and yet many
think it merely a pleasant pass-time.
It's the continual attention it requires,
the endless repetition of toil-constant
draw upon the intellect, requiring all
the |exertion of the faculties, not only
in writing, but selecting fresh matter
each coming week. Nothing can be
used over; allmust benew, and adapted
to as many different tastes almost as We
have subscribers. The simple writing
of an article for publication, when one
"feels like it." amounts to nothing
But to feel the obligation to write every
day, or week, whether inclined or not
whether we'll or not-whether sur
rounded by affection or cheerfnlness
lin short no matter what the cireum-
stances surrounding, we must write,
produces a swear and tear" of mind
unequalled by any other vocation.
The new arrangement will enable
us to give our entire attention to the
editorial department Of our paper
We hope to pursue such a course, and
take such positions az will continue
our journal what it thus far has been,
second to none other in the Territory.
Nebraska advertiser., 1857-10-29
From the Upper Missouri.

Major CULBERTsoN, principal agent
of the American Fur company, DR..
ARNOLD, Surgeon; and Gen. REDFIELD,
agent for the Crows, Osnawines and
Blackfeet Indians, passed the night at
our wharf, aboard the Steamer Omaha
on Thursday night last. We had the
pleasure of making their acquaintance
and from them learned that the two
former yer sixty days out from Fort
Benton. The latter from the mouth
of the Yellow Stone. They came in
a 'mackinaw boat as far as Nebraska
City. They report matters as between
the Indians and whites in a peacable
and friendly condition. The different
tribes of Indians have yet considera-
bic difficulties among themselves. The
Siouxs are particularly ~quarrelsome,
and disposed to be oppressive to their
weaker brethren.
Mai. Culbertson has been for thirty
years in this service-his head is
now ''silvered DER with the frosts of
many winters" yet his eye is keen,
his step elastic and his form noble
and commanding. 4al
One Frenchman in company had
been in that upper country" eighteen
years; now returning for the first time.
He expressed himself greatly sur
prised at the improvement 'salong this
river since | went up" He thought
he would ''run down and see how the
folks were getting along 1t home.'-
He was from what in an early day was
called Vide Poche, now Carondelet,
and really a portion of st. Louis. He'll
wonder what things are coming to
when he gets ''home'' and sees what's
been going on, while he has been ru-
raIizing up North.
Nebraska advertiser., 1857-10-29
Nebraska Territory.

An agent appointed for the Indian
tribes is now engaged in dividing the
lands reserved for the use of the half
breeds of the 0toes, Weas, Siouxs. and
other tribes in the Nemaha Valley.
Nebraska Territory. This reservation
has already attracted the notice of the
land sharks of hat Territory, and it is
rumored that crowds are awaiting the
division in order to enter upon it, by
purchase or in any other way. In some
cases fair prices have been paid for it,
and in others claims have been bought
for a song, but it is doubtful whether
they can be held. This is the best part
of the Territory, as wood and water
are in abundance.
The above we find floating in our
exchanges without credit. The Gland
sharks spoken of, are not of ''that
Territory" They r nearly, orquite
all non-residents f; some, however, with
whom we have ~conversed, promise to
become "actual settlers" IF they do,
well and good. If not, the condition
af those lands will be far worse than
had they remained undivided. We
look with interest for the result of the
possession by the Half Breeds of trans
L-.
ferrable titles.
Nebraska advertiser., 1857-10-29
Please Pay ND.

Owing to recent new arrangements
in this Office, together with a pressing
need of funds, it is very desirable that
all Indebtedness be liquidated. We
have not thus far been very urgent in
our dunning operations. 1t is one of
the most unpleasant tasks we ever
performed, to dun a man; consequent
ly we never do so unless compelled by
stern necessity. To carry on a print
ing establishment, especially in this
western country, requires a constant
and heavy demand for cash. Would
no others but ourselves as individuals,
be affected by such a course, we would
suspend" further publication of the
advertiser" until spring. But we
cannot for a moment think of adopt
ing such a course, because of the eff
feet it would have upon our city and
county, and their enterprises. We
look only, and expect, to be sustained
through these pressing times, by hav-
ing a portion, at least, of what's due
us, paid.
