V KEEoHI CREEK, June 20. 1850.
a Editor Herald The State Crmmis si0ners have
D been TO Weatheriord, the Lower Reserve. Belk
nap and Jaeksboro, investigating the difficulties
and are en- route for Palo Pinto, Erath, &c.
We have now only time 10 say that 20 preserF,
peace and protect tho people against the Indians
: they are fully authorized, and in few days viii
have. force of one hundred men stationed arount
the Reserve, 20 that no Indians shall leave il
until they are removed out of the State. All In-
dans found OIL the Reserve, unaccompanied by
whites ADORE suspicion, will be treated us hostile
Ii is confidently believed they will be removed in
q few weeks.
With these arrangements, which are satisfact-
ory to all reasonable frontiers men we have seen,
the commissioners ask the people to remain ut
their homes and not again renew the struggle. -
As old frontiers men. deeply interested in the
safety, peace and progress Of this border, wo feel
every confidence in tho steps adopted to prevent
any further injury to our iellow.citizens by the
Reserve Indians, and appeal to them to make no
further assaults upon the Reserve, which must
in the long run be productive of great evil to tho
frontier. We have vixen much testimony as to
the causes and past facts, and as honorable men,
will do justice. In haste,
G. Is. ERATH.

have had good and just cause founded ON facts

up arms, without resorting to wholesale and
ridiculous falsehoods, as they charge the Union
to have done in repeated cases. In such times of
peril to the rights of the people, the press of the
country, instead of STOPPING, in its pretended
zeal for good cause, to infame excite and lead
to desperation the popular mind, should unques-

OEAR SIR II notice in your paper oe the 10th ,

statement 0t facts IN regard 10 tho recent pttae;
on tiis Reserve, ny Bayiors party. Mr.. Wor-
rail, as you say, "writes with dignity" But
more complete tissue of misrepresentation in
part or whole, has never been written for

selves and the Indians on the Reserves, if we
failed to give his whole view OF our Indian truub-
les, plain contradiction under our own proper
signatures, and to request Mr. Worral; to show
upon what authority, he makes such grave char
ges against the Indians and agents. Mr.. Worrall
knows as well us we do, that no such appeals as
he speaks of. were ever made to the agents or
any other constituted authority. That no agree
mcnts were made by the agents to keep the In
lians on the Reserves, and that the "mnany den.
complained of in Jack county, by
hin, if, committed at all, has never been brought
before the proper legal authorities of the coun-

Agent Bain to Agent Ross. We have known .
