INDIAN TREATY
We observe the following article in tho
Galena Advertiser received this morning,
from whioh It would appear that General
Mucnell, Col. Menard and Mr. Attwater
have satisfactorily .accomplished jho higli-
lylimpoftatu cession of the Indian lands,
between the Mississippi and Lake Michi
gan on the south of the Ousconsiu.
We learn fiom a gentelman who arrived
bore last night from froirte tltl Cluen, that
a treaty with the Wiimebagoesand Pota'w-
ntainies had been concluded, and a pnr
chase made of all tbe'lands south of the
Ousconsiii.'boftseenthe Uppef Mississippi
river and Lake Michigan, including all
lands In - this tract heretofore held by the
Indians.' -We'are informed, that a small
reserve has been innile in this ceded tract,
but its particular locality, or quantity,- we
have not Understood,
The stipulations of the treaty are, lhat
the Winnebagoes-are to receive annually,
for SO rears, the sum of eighteen thousand
dollars*; anil the.Pdtnwatamlua are to re-
ccivo .annually, fifteen thousand dollars,
as tong as they sustain their name asa dis
tinct nation. - '■>
Unusual harmouy between tho Commis*
sionets and the Indians prevailed- during
.the the treaty, and tho Indiana expressed a
perfect selisfaetion at the accomplishment
of the' long contemplated -sale, vof their
coiintry. We shall probably hb able to
•give a morn definite account of (hit .treaty
in out noxt number. ■
