SITTING BULL AND THE QUEEN.
A New York dispatch of the 9th says
A Fort Walsh letter dated Nov 4th,
says Sitting Bulls future home is to be
on Deer River, and that his bapd will
be securely guarded by the police, but
most efficient over him will be that of
his neighbOrs, Blackfeet and Plain Rec
Red Deer River is much favored by
buffalo and smaller game, and Sitting
Bull will find good market for them
at Hudson Bay. Three days ago he
was told by Col. Mcleod that he was to
hold himself in readiness to move to
his new quarters; that the Queen had,
through her servant at Ottowa, provid
ed a good home for him, where he
could live at peace.
Sitting Bull made an eloquent reply,
saying, came to you in the first place
because was being hard driven by the
Am orleans. They broke their treaties
with my people, and when [ rose up
our rights as first people on this part of
the earth, they pursued me like dogs
and would have hung me to a tree.
They are not just; they drive us into
war and then seek to punish us for
fghting-that is not honest. The Queen
would not do that.
After thanking the Queen he said,
tell her that my people will be good. [
will take my people to the Red Deer
country, and now | declare before you
that will not make any trouble among
/ will be quiet; I will never
fight on your soil unless you ask me
to help you, then | will fght-place me
where you like. I will be at peace in
Canada, but you who are brave soldiers
and not treaty-breakers, thieves and
murderers, you would think me a cow
ard if did not die fighting the Amer
leans; therefore while [ go to Red
Deer to live at peace there the speaker
almost shrieked) will come back when
my braves are stronger; if they will not
come with me, [ will come alone and
fight the Americans till death. You
love and respect, and them hate, and
your Queens soldiers would despise
me if did not hate them; that is all.
[ am ready to 60 with you to
the Red Deer.
Black-feet Indians say that they
won't stand any nonsense from the
Sioux Nez Perces, who fled here before
Joseph's surrender. Nearly all return
ed. They attempted to squat between
this post and Buttes, but were warned
off. Some of them crossed the noun
tains into British Columbia, probably
with the intention of joining their old
allies, the Okanagons.
The Worlds Fort Walsh special says
that when Sitting Bull was ordered to
move to Red river he made an eloquent
speech, signifying ready compliance
and an undying fidelity to the Queen.
He promised that when his braves were
strong enough he would return and
fight with the Americans until death.
On leaving the fort Sitting Bull wept.
