Red Cloud and His Crew-TheIr Movements
Yesterday-A Drive Through the Central
Park-The Red Mon at tho Races, aud Mt the
Grand Opera House.
The Indian sensation was continued as lively as
ever yesterday, and the curiosity Of scores whose
noodles had been surfeited with stur about war
trails tobacco councils and prairie heroism was fully
satisfied after gaping at "Red Cloud" 'Red Dog.n
the "Bears," :" "W0lyesn and squaws to their hearts,
content. But 1t should be understood that the red
men are averse to be hunted and looked at, because
they consider II nothing more than civilized repe-
titi0n q the Parbars!es which the government has
permitted to be inflicted upon the tribes. And while
they are well aware that the citizens Of New
York have acted Hospitality towards them, and IN
many ways demonstrated their sympathy FOR the un-
fortunates, the indians imagine that when trotted
about they are regarded by the people as human
menagerie. Although not yet publicly announced,
the faos s not concealed that Red Cloud as the chef
tain, feels

fectioner-llke, may some day take his vacation
among the Sioux, and II he do not return scalped

and friends arose betimes yesterday morning, and
passers by ON Broadway having learned that the
Indians could be seen large crowd assembled In
front OF the st. Nicholas Hotel anxious TO catch o
GLIMPSE OF THE BRAVES.
Previous to this, however, they had been visited
by several gentlemen who had taken part IN the
proceedings OF the Peace Commission, including
NJ .ssrs. Peter Cooper and McAdam. An Interesting
discussion was carried on. During the course OF
conversation assurances were earnestly given
the Indians that the Indian Commission
would leave nothing undone to serve their
cause and redress their grievances. pablo re-
ception will be rendered the Indians at noon to-day
at the Cooper Institute. when 1t is supposed, Red
Cloud will
DELIVER AN oRATIoN,
to be afterwards translated by the interpreter ex-
planat0ry Of the accumulated wrongs done to his
tribe. They have been allowed to prOong their stay
In the city until this evening by the Secretary Of the
Interior, when they will set out for their native
prairie. Red Cloud seemed rather dlsincllIed TO

rapidly than others the party was separated during

their departure before the last of the had been
finished, and returned as they proceeded, arriving

AT THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
1t was eight O'Clock last evening when the Indieus
arrived at the Grand Opera House to witness the
representation OF the " Twelve Temptations They
were introduced by General Smith, q. g. A.. and who

Selves seemingly Indifferent to the sensation which
their presence created. An Interpreter sat beside
Red Cloud and explained everything. He was
delighted with the performance, especially with the
Terpsichorean feats performed The Bears andWolves
neither showed nor expressed any appreciation OF
the spectacle but looked vacantly during the entire
evening. grim smile, however came over their
stolcal vlsages when AJAX the grOtesque kept Jump
ing up and down. They were more bewildeped than
dspleased by the dazzling exhibition. "Coudy
Tan" and "Red Spots" as Fisk has designated them
were certainly more appreciative than any Of their
brethren. It was rumOred that the Colonel was en-.
tering into negotiations with Red Cloud TO build a
railroad from this to sunset In order to checKmate
vanderbilt, who, it was said had already contracted
for railroad from New York to dawn. The Indians
left The opera house shortly alter O'Clock for the
st. Nicholas Hotel, and retired soon after their ar
rival.
