General w. b Hazen, Commander of the /
Department OF the Lower Arkansas, has /
arrived at st. Louis The Republican, this /

Cneyennes, 2,2G0; Arapahoes, 500; Kiowas,
800; a paches, $50; COmancheS, $500. In !
addition to these there are about 900 1
Caddas and Wichetas. who have been on /
re eserVajtons for many years. Only no ODER
ate success has attended their agricultural /
operations so far, but Improvements in
this direction are expected IN the course of
time, as they acquire HABITS of industry.
Much trouble was occastoned at one time,

was imminent, by the feeding OF the In

commander to the Subsistence Depart
ment, but the Old system was restored,
and matters went smoothly again. The /

the border settlements, Is the reservation
system. The General thinks the Quaker /
system works well. The Indians begin to /
realize that they are honest, AID are Civ /
ing them their confidence.
