During the Sioux outbreak of 1852
| the Winnebagoes maintained the most
friendly relations with the whites. The
lands occupied by these Indians were
very rich and valuable, and very desir-
ably located for settlement. The
Sioux outrages had the effect of strong
lly exasperating the whites in Minneso-
/ ia, not only against the Sioux but
against Indians in general, whether
they were hostile or friendly. Urged
| on by these motives and feelings, the
white settlers commenced a series Of
Entertainments, wrongs and outrages
| against the Winnebagoes, which rem
dered their condition so unsafe that
the Government thought 1t necessary
to remove them from the State. An
act was accordingly passed by Con-
gress. on Feb. 21st, 1868, providing for
their removal beyond the limits of any
State. T"
The consent of the Indians to this
Legislation was not obtained, neither
was it asked, The new reservation in
Dakota was not selected by the Indians,
! but by the United States. On account
of the proximity Of this new reserva-
ton to the Sioux, who were hostile to
| the Winnebagoes and for other causes,
! the Winnebagoes became greatly dis
satisfied and large numbers of them
returned to the States, about one thou
sand of whom settled in Wisconsin.
/ The remainder of the tribe were gath
cred together and settled upon a reser-
walton in Nebraska where they now
are.
/ Senator Cameron made an earnest
and feelidg appeal for these much
abused and neglected Indians. Were
i there more earnest christian Senators
like Senator Cameron in the United
! States Senate the poor, despised, rob-
bed Indian might have some show of
obtaining justice.
/ have been permitted to make the
lfol1oWbgs extract from q letter receiv-
cd by gentleman in this city from
Hon. Felix A. Mathews, the United
States Consul at Tangier, Morocco, dat
ed March 10th, 1870: Cali who can
are running away from this most un-
fortunate country, where famine, chol-
era, and typhus has and is more than
decimating its population; here at Tan
gier we are having from thirty to for
! ty cases of typhus per day, and at the
city Of Morocco the daily mortality by
typhus and cholera is from two hum
dred to two hundred and fifty persons.
The ordeal of death is complete. Par
ents eat their children, and at Maya
dor, Stuff and Casablanca the starving
Arabs eat their dead I"
The atmosphere is impregnated
with deadly poisons emanating from
the thousands that are half buried, and
many left out exposed to the sun and
rain.
"The European residents take every
Iprecaution, nevertheless nearly one
half have already succumbed to the
dreadful disease.
"The fatalist MusIims ridiculo all
Iexpedients to avoid contagion, believ-
ling that all is written by God, and
Ithey must die if SO decreed. y
The garments of the dead by dis
ease are sold, unwashed, at auction for
a trife, and put on by the wretched
buyer, who soon after is generally Ia
ken III, and follows in the wake of the
former Wearer.
My time has been very much occu-
pied being President of Morocco Board
of Health, organizing lazarettos, hos
pitfalls, &C., sc.
My daugter has been sick with fe-
yer, and my oldest son with cholera,
but thank God we are all well now
and hope to escape the diseases sur
rounding US. At any rate shall re-
main at my post, and do my duty as
far and as long as / am able.
