Recent Indian Visitors at .Washing-
ton.
A letter has been received from the
agent of Little Raven and other chiefs of
the Indian delegation recently visiting the
East dated at the Cheyenne and ARA
pahoe Agency, July 6. He states they
arrived home on the 25th of June, all
well, and found everything quiet.
The Indians are much pleased with the
account the delegation gave of their
treatment while in Washington and other
cities which they visited. Two days af-
ter their return John Smith, Cheyenne
interpreter, was stricken with apoplexy,
aud being unable to procure physician
for him, he died. They found all the
ArrapahOes there on their arrival, but
most of them have since gone en-
buffalo hunt Big Mouth, with about
forty lodges, will remain. They have
corn planted, which promises a good
yield.
The agent started school last winter,
which has been well conducted and largely
attended during the spring and summer
by Arrspahoes and Cheyenne children of
both sexes-some of the larger Indians
taking much interest in the proceedings.
Lone Wolf, Stumbling Bear and an
other Kiows chief say larger part of the
KioWas are encamped near Antelope
Hills, and mean to be friendly, but the
remainder of them, Numbering perhaps
one hundred lodges, have gone TO Staked
Plains and Joined the Camsnches. There
they are supplied with all they need by
Mexican traders, getting in their trade
arms, ammunition, whisky, etc. These
Mexicsns encourage and accompany the
Indians on their raids in Texas, and at The
time Satanta made his last raid party of
Mexicans accompanied him, one of whom
was killed by the Tonksways scouts in
the employ of the military in Texas,
Crops are looking well on Wachita,
and most of the Indians are hard at work
attending 10 them.
Some little alarm is felt there about the
Kiowas, the Indians thinking they might
come in and steal their horses
About five hundred Camanches are en-
camped on the WaChita. They are de-
termined TO remain at peace.
The Rapparickkas have encamped near
Fort Cobb, and say they wish to remain
of peace with the whites.

4 private letter, dated June 81 says when
the surveying party commenced their
operations, they were met by the govern
ment officers who informed them that
there would be no objection to their work
but when they went further up the river,
they were fired upon, the officials having
acted treacherously and as decoys. The
natives are represented as fine looking,
somewhat resembling our Indians. The
tides are strong and heavy, and the cur
rent through the bends of the river is
fearful.
