establishment against all foes, was made by

the great council lately held in Indian
Territory, whittier he was sent by Secretary
Harlan.
Having been detailed by the Secretary of
War at the request of the american Geograph-

| chronological observations, on his way back
| he visited the Indian mounds at Newark to
make inquiries concerning thealleged disin-
terment Of effigies bearing Hebrew inserip-
| tions. Without committing himself fully on
the subject he reports that the evidence Is
| strong as to the genuineness or authenticity
of the effigies which were discovered several
wears ago, and that one Of them appears to

At the fort, but about 500 lodges had assem-
bled I20 miles above, who were deferred
from treating with the delegates at the fort
from apprehensions that they were only to

The letter also states it is evident that the
