The superintendent of the Southern
Indians says the bitterness of feeling
caused by forays of white bushwhackSi
ers in the Indian territory, forms agreat
obstacle to the negotiation of favorable
treaties. The tribes have lost over
800, 600 head of cattle, valued at between
81, 100000 and ,0OO, 900. Nineteen
thousand Indians nre now subsisted by
the Government. The Cherokees num-
Der 1S,0O0, of whom IL 900 were loyal,
land furnished 1900 men for the linton
army, while some 5000 fought for the
rebels. The Creeks were also loyal and
suffered heavily from the disloyal-
tribes. The Choctaws and Chicltasaws
went with the rebels, and are very des-
titute now. IT is proposed to sell the
Indian reservation in Kansas, and move
the Indians southwest into the Indian
territory.
