REPORT OF MIR. coLLYER.
Vincent Collyer, Secretary to u. s. Indian
Commission organized at Cooper Intitute q
Year ago, says he visited and closely inspected
thirty-one tribes in their wigwams and native
home, numbering nearly $4,000 souls, located
in Kansas, the Indian Territory, Texas, New
Mexico, Arizona and Colorado Some Of the
tribes are most warlike and troublesome in the
country, others more civilized. Among them
all he was well received and in many cases
with marked hospitality. In nearly all tribes
visited school teachers and farming tools were
found, and in all the journey he did not see
case of drunkenness, witness a scene Of vio-
lence, or hear blasphemous word by an Indi-
an. He believes that by patient efforts all the
tribes can be civilized, and that in less than
two years we have heard the last of Indian
outrages. A deep religious feeling pervaded
nearly all their conversation and councils

sonage IN that place. not long since I.haye
not been able to learn what they realized from
the gains though not over fifty dollars.
On Saturday, 25th they had gala day at

Mount Pleasant being among them.
The Methodists and Presbyterians of that
place, Joined under one banner, a mark of
friendship. The clouds were lowering, but
being such most of the week, few appre-
hended rain, yet it did come at last after
night, to the surprise and delight of many !;
that long wished for shower continued to
fall in torrents until Sabbath eve, when it
ceased, being cold since. Notwithstanding
the long drought there is good yield of po-
tatoes, the grain quite so, rs well as corn too.
