Tampering with the Indians.

A letter bearing date Sept. l 8 has been
received by the President from the chiefs
head men, and warriors of the Creeks
setting forth that emmisaries from the
rebel Government have been among the m
telling them that their "Great Father" al
Washington had turned against them and
intended to drive them from their homes
and deprive them of their property, and
that they can hope for nothing from him
These emisaries further say that all the
friends of the Indians have joined the
new Government, which is desirous to en-
ter into treaties with their tribe, and to
do far more for them than the old has
done, aud urged to fight for it. The
chiefs doubted the truth of these state
ments, and went to have a talk with the
agents and superintendent, but found
that they had left their stations. [Tbe
old officers had proved traitors, and the
new ones had not had time to reach their
field of labor.] This led some to believe
that their Great Father bad really forsa-
ken them. and very few in consequence
bad joined the rebel army.
In their trouble the Indians called
Council of Creeks, Cherokees, Senecas,
Kickapoos, Delawafes, and other tribes
and bands of Csmanobes, SeminoIes, and
others. The Council, after long discus
sion. voted to remain loyal, and if posi-
BILE, neutral. The chiefs then went a.
mong their people aud attempted to
counteract the influence Of the rebel emf
saries, who yet re % ain there N aking troa
bic, while the Government has no official
representative among them.
The Chiefs now ask their Great Father
to send somebody to meet all the tribes
in Council.
O-po.the -tro. ga te, q old Greek Chief
tain who remained loyal to the Govern
ment during the Creek war in Alabama
in 1893. also sent similar letter dated
Aug Is, in which be asks the aid Of the
President to defend the Indians from their
Southern white enemies.
The Choctaws did not attend the Coun
Gil of the other tribes referred to. and it
is thought they have joined the Conieder-
atcs.

appeals have doubtless been 10 ade to these
tribes to throw of their alegiauce Oh the
ground that Government would emanci-
pate them. To guard against the effects
of such appeals, the Commissioner of ln-
dian affairs in May last, addressed let
ter to the several Chiefs, declaring that
the Government would not interfere with
their institutions.

A charge OF cavalry on body of in
fsniry armed with rifles is now consider
ed impossible. At waterloo, uben the
British soldiers were armed only with
flint lock muskets and could not fire un-
til the cavalry were within 100 yards,
they broke the charge By their FIRE; but
now, when they can open fire at 500
yards, aud give at least eight rounds be-
fore the cavs!ry reaches them, there does
not seem to be much chance for heavy
cavalry. For vidette duty. also, the
horsemsn is now so nush exposed as to
