south Of the sIissouri river. The Sacs, we
snderstsnd, are ready to go, and express !
desire to start 1t IN early period Of the
season, 20 ~ to have time to make the ne
cessary preparations for winter in their
new home; but portion Of ths Foxes, BE-
longing to the Hard6sh band. say they have
made up their minds to remain where they
are. Whether or not they are likely TO
prove obstinate enough in this determina-
tion to give trouble has not come to. our
knowledge; but it is hardly probable they
will carry their resistance 90 Ear as to COM
pei their forciblc expulsion.


Notwithstanding the willingness Of the
great body Of the Indians 10 abandon their
present homes, a. required BY the treaty
stipulations, we think it by no means GER
tain that they will leave before next spring
or summer The obligation Of the govern
meat 10 provide new home for them has
oot been complied with as yet, or ifcom-
piled with, the intelligence Of the country
selected has not been communicated BY the
Department to tile Indians through the
usual and proper channel-tlc c Governor
Of the Territory. A person named Nor
rison, we believe, representing himself to
be tire agent Of the government to carry out
this provision # the treaty, passed through
the Territory on visit to the Indians last
summer; but whether he was an nimposter,
or if not, what was the result Of his mis-
sion, no one here seems to be informed.
Rsmor says, that accompanied by depu-
tation ofthe Indians, he visited the Missouri
river country, and there fixed upon re-
gion for the abode Of the Sacs and Foxes
but as to where the designated region il
even rumor is silent. We have furthe,
heard it stated that the Indians by whom
this agent was accompanied returned much
dissatisfied with the selection. These re.
ports may or may not be true; b Dit il
certain that as yet neither the Indians them
selves, nor their Superintendent, have beer
advised by the Department Of the action
had By the government in relation to the
subject.


A misapprehension has gone forth among
some in regard to the removal Of these In
dams. which it may do no harm here to cor
rect. We allude to the belief that the re-
moval is to be do . At the expense Of the
government, and by contract. The treaty
contemplates nothing Of the kind-the In
dams are to remove themselves, and at their
own expense, just as they removed from :
large portion Of their country two years
ago. The distance to the country on TIE
west bank Of the Missouri being short, with
an abundant supply Of game on the route,
the removal can be made in less time than
is usually devoted by the Indians to their
spring buffalo hunt, and with AZ little suf.
lering and Inconvenience.
