The account books OF the Commissioners,
Messrs. Nelson and Barnett, one bank
ef the other a merchant, gave earnest

buildings have been inspected- To-day

pearance, and several OF them examined.
Personal knowledge did not constitute
the burden of their testimony, it was
chiefly floating. rumors and hear say.
The Investigation closed this evening,
and in due time report will be made

we think, will not be damaged, or pubic

POr the past two weeks our mails

owing to the recent cold suap, but
from no fault Of the contractors, how
ever on the contrary they have
shown admirable pluck in pushing il
as they have done. No route in the
West has been run better, when the
circumstances are understood, The
route is a bleak one, aGordiug very
little shelter to man or beast.
Affairs are very quiet here. Except
on issue days we see but very few
Indians about the Agency, bat on

which will not be divided among

will do for grub after next month,
will be a matter for speculation.
Some of our ''OldCsS settlers" snv
that the Indians are never so uuict as
when they are on short r~aliuns. II
this is so, ! predict that their hearts
are destined TO become very good,
and that too right soon. | do not
think any one can tell the result Of
this short outcome, for the hearts Of
the Indians are not bursting with
goodness this winter, though it is
said that the bone of their contention
has for a time removed itself.
