understand will make an average yield
After the excassive rains OF the Winter and
Spring, droushh has followed, parching
the suriaee Of the ground and cracking il.
Crops, however, that have been worked,
have not suffered material injury, and we

Since writing the above, We had a gentle
shower ON Friday evening, followed by q
heavier one this evening. In this vicinity
these showers will refresh all growing
crops amply.
The Standard Of the 24th has the follow
ing;
The FEDERAL COMMISSION TO THE ISDI-
ANs..-These Commissioners and their es-
cort. whose passage through our town we
mentioned in cur last issue, arrived at or
near Armstrong Academy day or after
the adjournment of grand Indian council,
embracing moro tribes than have ever be-
fore been together by delegatiou Al perhaps
any Indian council in America; at least
since the time of Tecumseh. The influences
there present, would, it is believed, have
controlled all the Indian tribes of the North
West, as far as the great lakes. They bad
just concluded n treaty, offensive and deien-
sivc, with the Southern Confederacy, and
were ready to act with high expectations,
in active combination with its forces.
Only the Choctaw delegation remained
and with these treaty was arranged, slip
ulating cessation Of hostilities until Sep
TENDER, when commissioners, with specific
powers, thoroughly acquainted with the
points at issue, could act upon the stipula-
tons of final treaty.
After this the Federal Commissioners
would, VIC are Informed, have returned to
Shreveport but Col r. NJ Jones, Delegate
of the Chocta VS. to the Confederate Congress,
doeming it important that the tribes whose
Representatives had gone from the council
should be informed of the change of action
and recalled invited the Commissioners and
their escort to his residence, and they are
awaiting there the return Of the various
tribes to the council.
The Indians, we are told, expect to make
q treaty favorable to their ntests-protect-
ing their persons and property. They hold
that they always have been recognized by
the United States as independent sovereign
ties, and have exercised a proper discretion
in their political action, and have lost no
rights by the result OF the late warfare
They are, as We understand, entirely reso-
lutte and fearless. IIuzza for the Red Mon J
They have been true to the lastl
