LAKE CITY, Sept 9, 1s67-Hon. u. G. Taylor.
Commissioner-Sir: l have the honor to REPORT
that on the 18th OF August ult., a small band
OF Indians, thirteen or fourteen in number
made raid upon q small settlement in San
pose OF stealing stock. They drove off forty or
fifty cattle and horses, but were followed so
closely by the settlers that they were obliged
to abandon their spois and save themselves
by flight. In the sklrmisbing which occurred
during pursuit, one white man was killed.
With the exception OF the above, no disturb
ances OF any character have occurred during
the past month among the Indians within
this supplementary. On the same day
OF the above raid received a telegram
from Agent Rhodes, advising me that the
hostile chief Black Hawk was upon the Unita
reservation, anxious TO meet me. l set out at
once, Oh horseback, and reached Black Hawks
camp, $50 miles distant, in three days. l had
never before seen Black Hawk although had
been trying to procure an interview for nearly
two years. He is about IS years of age, an an

all hostilties, and Immediately thereafter to
see the other hostile tribes and induce them to
do likewise, and meet me, with his own
Indians and the others, on the Unita res

He stated that his own band consisted of
twenty eight lodges and about fl We hundred
warriors; that there were also three other
chiefs belonging to the Elk Mountain tribes

had aDout the same number OF warriors as
himself, or about one thousand In all. feel

desire for peace. promised him that il he
brought IN all the hostile Indians and satisfied
me that all would hen ceforth continue friendly

best OF feeling prevails among the various
tribes throughout the SUPPLEMENTARY.

Messrs. Pau, Crocker and Nalley, of the
Common Council, held meeting last night,
and an unanimous with the exception Of DIR.
Crocker, absent,) agreement was arrived at
upon the basis Of the proposition offered by
MIR. Evans in the Board of Aldermen on

the Collector $4,000, he to pay from this sum
the salaries of three clerks, zone in addition to

THE ANTIETAM CELEBRATION

DR.. Snodgrass, Of New YORK, is out in a
lengthy card to exonerate himself from what
he calls "undeserved censure" "for some sup.
posed delinquency on his part as Chairman
OF the Committee OF Arrangements for the
dedication OF Antietam Cemetery. He charges
Governor Swami with having sun warrant
ably disregarded" the arrangements made with
him, and gives history of that gentleman s
connection with the affair. Mr.. SnodRrass
gives an account of an interview with Mr.
Swami on the evening previous to the cere-
morles at Antietam, as proof that it was I'M.
derstood that Governors Fenton, Geary, Ward
and others were to speak. In reference to the
statement that Governor Swami closed the
door as he did against the Governors by call
ing for the benedictiOn at the dictation of the
President OF the United States. DIR. Snodgrass
says: Il was busily engaged, at the moment
furnishing some representatives OF the press
facts in the history Of the cemetery, and there
fore cannot say, of my own knowledge, that
this is so. But do know that such a step or
interferenc e would amount to an assumption
OF authority at once so contrary to all the pro-
prieties of life, while grossly unwarrantable
as to make 1t difficult to believe that even the
present successor of Washington and Lincoln
could have been betrayed into it, And here it
is proper to add that the President was set
down in the programme for 0remarks," with
out authority from the Committee Of Arrange
ments"
