Governor Butler, of South Carolina, and Col
M. G.. Lewis, of Tennessee, were commissioned
by the War Department to effect a treaty with
the foregoing tribes, and on the 18th OF May last
at the Council Spring, on the headquarters of
the Brassos river in Texas, at a council with
n thousand Indians ofthe tribes aforesaid, treaty
between them and the United States was effected,
which cannot fail of largely contributing to the
security of the white border settlements Of Texas.
Among other provisions Of the treaty, the tribes
included, bind themselves TO the obligations OF
peace with the United States-they concede the
right 10 the United States of working mines with
in the territories of the tribes to the compact,
which territories stretch along the western from
tiers, fom the 42d degree OF north latitude into
the Mexican territories southwark, running west
ward into the depth ofthc great mountain region
which nanks the seaboard OF California This re-
gion embraces many mines OF silver, and is sup
posed TO abound in gold washings, from the inn
portation OF gold dust from Santa Fe. Any
crimes committed by the said tribes against the
peace Of our ctzens within our borders, 10 be SUBJ
iect to our penal laws. These are regarded as
very important concessions to the government
commissioners. and they certainly arc most va
luablc provisions Of the Convention.


The tribes were Of the opinion that when COM
bincd they were more numerous than the whites;
and one object Of bringing them on TO Washing
ton, was TO show them the fallacy Of this cal~ula
tion, and that the white men were as numerous
as the flowers on the praires-the trees along the
Iivers--or the stars in the sky; as numerous as
the stars when the kHmmer night comes down
upon the mountain valeys, and the moon has
gone down into the sea. And to show them that
the white man was strong-that he uses thunder
and lightning in battle-travels in canoes that
cough like a volcano-or great lines of wigwams,
drawn by iron horses that are swifter than The
mustangs OF the praircs, and stronger than a
thousand buffalocs-iron horses eating hot Goals.
belching forth fire and steam, and rushing along
with the sound Of n storm in the hills.
| The delegation under Gov. Butler and Colonel
Lewis and company, left the Council Spring on
the 10Th May, and arrived in New Orleans on the
9Th Of June-thencc by the Mississippi ana ONO
rivers to Wheelng-thence across the mountains
4 to Cumberland-thence by railroad to Baltimore
and Washington, arriving here on the 10Th OF
June.


Another object achieved 10y this dcpuahon TO
the Federal city is, that the members OF tins en-
