The OttOe and MissOuria Indians.

On the first of this month we accepted
the invitation of Hon. J. P. BAKER, the
newly appointed Agent for the Ottoe and
Missouria Indians, to visit with him the
Reserve where these Indians are now 10
Gated, about 20 miles southwest from this
city. It is not our purpose to speak of
the Indians their habits, manner of living
and numerous peculiarities. These are
all known to most Of our readers. 1t is
well known to all hereabouts that much.
dissatisfaction existed among these con-
federate tribes, and by many serious
troubles we're apprehended. Our object
then in visiting their settlement was to
learn of their dissatisfaction, the causes,
Sc. and, if possible, aid in r~e-establish-
ing confidence and friendship. Agent
Baker kindly furnished US all the facilities
possible, and aided in the accomplishment
Of our purpose.
To make the state of affairs the more
easily understood, we Will state the prin-
cipal treaty ~stipulations entered into on
the 10Th of March, 1854, between the
General Government and these tribes of
Indians, at which time they removed to
their Reservations. They were to receive
$4,000 TO assist them in getting to, and
fixing up, their new home. Commencing
with the date mentioned they were to
receive, as %annuities, $4,000 annually
for the first 3 years; sI3, 600 annually
for the next 10 years; $4,000 annually
for the nex Is years, and $1,000 annual
ly for the next II years. nall, S4O5, 900
in 40 years. In addition the Government
was TO furnish them for 10 years a Black
Miller and Farmer,
It was evidently the intention Of the
General Government TO extend every pos
sible facility to acquaint the Indians with
the arts Of civilization, that they might
