INDIAN AFFAIRS.
The Herald publishes statement re-

transactions of the Indians lately in slli-

important negotiations recently entered
into between them and the United States
officers sent out by General Heron. The
Commissioners were well received by the
Indians. On the 2lst of June the Choe-
tAw nation met, under Colonel Pitch
Chief of the Choctaws, General Stand
Waite, Chief of the Cheokees, and several
other leaders A temporary treaty was
entered into with the Cherokees, choctaWS,
Chicksssws, Seminoles, and Greeks. These
tribes bound themselves q to q cease
hostilities against the United States,
and against the tribes which
had taken part with the government dur
ing the rebellion. These and other nations
of Indians, in councils previously held, had
resolved to send delegates to Washington
TO negotiate treaty of amnesty with the
government. On the arrival of General
Herron's commissioners they were urgent
lv solicited by the Indians to consent that
instead of sending delegation that the
conference should take place in their own
country. This was conceded to and the
Convention will take place on the first Of
September, at the Armstrong Academy, in
the Chocktsw nation. " a
Colonel Pitching Immediately issued
proclamation to that effect and arrange
ments are being made accordingly.
It's anticipated that thirty thousand
Indians will be present st the council.
Masses of Indians appeared sll through
the region traversed by General Herron's
command, overjoyed st the prospect o
peace. They all agreedtO commit no NOR
acts of hostility toward the Government
and to cesss their interference with emf
grants and the overland mail.
The rebel Indians acquiesce in the los
oftheir slaves by the emancipation meas
i ures, but are much troubled about tn
