paper as to the position of the United States
upon the question of neutral rights has

The principal points are with reference to a
limitation of articles which shall be deem

holds that nothing should be embraced in
this list but the direct and immediate mu-

kets, cannon, lead and saltpetre. &c Coal,
which is the very foundation of manufactu-

ed by the United States not to be contra.

it otherwise will be viewed as an incroach-
ment upon our commerce. SO, also, are
breadstuffs not contraband of war. The
broad doctrine is also reiterated that free

makes no allusion to privateering, it is we'll

South of the Arkansas River, have rights
IN common with their respective tribes, who
reside in Kansas both to land and annui-
ties, and have no right elsewhere. That
these bands are excluded from settlemen,
on the Leased District, by the provisions OF
the treaty of 1865, between the United
States. and the Choctaw and ,Chickasaws
and can therefore remain in the Choctaw
and Chickasaw country only with the con.
sent Of these tribes.
In regard to the jurisdiction Of the Agent
for the Wichitas, and other bands to be To-
Gated in the Leased District, it has been de.
cided that Mr.. Bliin is not Agent for thu

be located in it. That these tribes are to be
located upon distinct reservations, with cir.

land as may be necessary for their actua

as soon as it can be DONE to divide the res
ervation into small parcels amongst them

AN ELOQUENT ExTRAcr.-Generation af-
ter generation have felt as we do now, and
their lives were as active as our own. The
heavens shall be as bright over our graves
as they are around our paths. Yet little
while and all this will have happened
The throbbing heart will be stilled, and we
shall be at rest. Our funeral will wend its
way. and the prayers will be said, and we
shall be left in the darkness and silence of
the tomb. And it may be that for short
time we shall be spoken of, but the things
OF life shall creep on and our names shall
be forgotten. Days will continue to move
on, and laughter and songs will be heard in
the room where we died and the eyes that
mourned for us be dried and animated with
pleasure, and even our children will cease to
think Of us; and will remember to lisp our
names no more
