missionors and Cons. Canby and Gillem to meet
Jack and eevon others at tho second cave no

l1n1f Of jack, that il they would come md hold

wanted tlom to. This bait also failed, and
Boston returned. It was seen that twenty-five
warriors wero ut the proposed place Of mooting,
| where only eight wera to bo, and they returned
to tho oayo seemingly disappointed. Boston and
form jack that, if he wanted to talk at suitable
place and on equa1 terms, the Commissioners
would meet him.

April 7,-Au ia quiet. Mason moved histroops

mcot them In ono moro effort for poace. The
Commission will givo their final proposition, and
q reasonable time for tho hlodocH to decide on
accepting the terms. They aro having big
tho propositions made. It. will DO insisted by
tho Commissioners that tley surrender and
leave the laya-bed, mud no other, terms will be
accepted, for any. othor course would cause in
definite war. Tho state OF tho question waa
telegraphed to Washington to-day, which statos
tho ultlmatum oforol and to bo discussed to-
morrow, aud which doos not yary from tho first
proposition mado by hteolo. though no place is
designated Tor their removal, Riltl no particular
locality will bo insisted upon.
Amnesty was first promised in case OF sur-
render, and tho Commission will strictly main-
tain their frat promise. Wo hope tho terms will
DO received and tho question settled without do
lay. It they rafuBo these terms, Con. Qillom
will thsn do Lis duty.
Mckay and his Indiana arc expected to-mor-
row, aud then tho farce will be complete. When
hostile Indian comes to the poaco Colnmigsion-
ors ho III reatod with tho greatest consideration.
Ills horse is fed md lo loaded with provisions
and prosents, while tho friendly Indians got
nothing for solf Or horse, thus sctting pro.
MUM TOR tho friendly Indian, onde deayorlng to aid
in making and preserving peaoo, to become dis
orderly aud thfeying, like the hostile Moaocs.
Probably jacks mon 500 that they will DO treat
cd like the friendly indian when peaco 10 made.
An effort was made on tho part Of outsdera to-
induce tho recent Grand Jury, in session hero,
to bring bills Of indictment against tho Peaco
| Commissioners as accessorios to the Indiana II
stealing stock and killing citizens, as fair on
| efforts to hang tho Indians.
