if.om tiik i'anal Tr.L.uttAru. AN INDIAN rAYMGXT. JJnsrs. Editors: I enclose you the accompanying transcript cf a letter, w hich you may insert if yo:i think proper. IOOAN?roKT Oct. 2Sih, 1 S3 1 . Dear E - In my laet Ic::cr I promised to give yen pome account rf nt "Indian I'aymcnt." I fftvin jr attended the payment of the Miami Indians, I shall now proceed to comply with my promise. Do not, however, expect to find in this letter a description, in cxlenso, of the mode of paving the In

dian?, and the scenes attending this nnnunl traneaction. I have neither the inclination nor the leisure to undertake such a task. Tho f pot selected hy the Indian for the purpepe of receiving their annuities h ahoul forty-five miles above this place, near Black Loon's village, (you know Mack Loon, of course) and ahout a mile and a half from the Wabash river. No sooner had tho selection been made, than the found of a hundred axes were heard, employed in cutting down the timber, clearing the ground, and preparing loj:? for the erection of cabins and shantccs, designed, not for the use of the Indian-:, but for trading hou-ej, store?, Jce. ccc. Fifteen or twenty of these cabins were completed in n day or two and filled with merchandize of vaiious descriptions. Some of the shantccs were designed for, and applied t other purposes eating shantccs gambling shantecs&.c. Here in the b :k woods among the Indians at the time of payment iuav be seen the various modes of "amblmg practised upon the credulous in populous cities. No less than seven ruuilleties were whirling upon the payment ground ; and here mirdit have been seen games at Faro, Vint ct un, Chuc-a-luc. old Sledge, 1'okcr, and many other species of gambling to which I am unable to give a name. In justice to the people of this section of the country, I must say, that the gamblers were I believe, all strangers. The common Indians never hazard anv thing upon these games of chance. With some of the chiefs it is otherwise: I have been told they bet freely, and win or lose with that perfect indifference winch is peculiar to their race. J. B. Richardvillc and Francis Godfrey are the principal chiefs of the Miamies. These chiefs were not dressed in the Indian Fashion. Richardvillc is a half breed apparently about fifty years of age, above the middle size and well proportioned. His hair is slightly inclining to white, and he has a keen light grey eye which appeared to be somewhat restless. He was dressed in a grey frock coat, blue cloth pantaloons, black vest, boots and spurs, and wore a black hat. Ho is said to be the richest man in the west. Godfrey the other principal thiol, is a good natured jolly looking man, with a pleasant countenance. You know old general ? Well, look upon him, and with tho exception of his complexion, you will behold almost an exact likeness of the War Chief Godfrey. The Mianves r.rc wealthy and they are proud. The common Indians all dress richly and fantastically. The prevailing dress of the young men is a frock coat of fine blue cloth, embroidered leggins of the eamc material, calico shirt, moccasins, und a shawl or a large handkerchief, worn tastefully upon their heads, somew hat in the form of a turban. Many r f them, in addition to thU divs-s wear large plumes nf ostrich feathers, with broad silver bunds around their arms it ml a number cf Finall jingling bells attached to each anile. All of them carry large knives, and many of them have pistols slung to their fides. Thus dressed, and ctpiipped, day after day for about three weeks, the Indinns paraded about the payment ground, whooping, running, jumping, wiestling, plavtni: :pui their plaintive tlutes, and receiving their daily rations. 1) not be surprised at this seeming delay and procrastination cf an Indian payment. There aro a thousand difficulties to be settled, and more than a thousand claims to be examined and adjusted. Besides the ajjent, it'.'i. M irh ill, w as ciaged in an attempt to effect a treaty, which has proved successful. Of thij conditions of this treatv.and of land acquired. I am unable to s;mm1x, but 1 h ive 1 ecu told that the counties of Cass and Miami will be greatly benefitted. It has always been a very difficult maitcr t treat w ith the Miami Indians. They nre shrewd and cunnmj, and many of the trailers exercise great inll icnce anions them. If cv M' the government should offer u the cilice of an Indian agent, take tn advice, and decline the acceptance of it, if vo i value your peace of mind. From what I have seen and heard, I am convinced that to discharge tho duties of an a-zeiit. properly, requires the tact of J Tailev rand and the patience of Job; and 1 bolievc you are not remarkable for tho posses-ion of tho latter quality. My limits, you perceive, will not permit me to write more upon this subject, You shall hear from me again. our'. Yaulitc Speculation.

Being all published from the same val of two weeks between the publication of each number, it is thought too, will be an advantage over monthlies and quarterlies. The following plan is respectfully submitted. 1. The 'Companion" will contain the earliest possible reprints cf the best matter in the Biitish periodicals. 2. It will be issued every fortnight, and the form will be the same as that of the Library each number containing sixteen pages thus, every six months, giving thirteen numbers, which can be bound with the Library at little or no more expense, and making a better sized volume; and to those who do not take the Library itself, a volume every year, cf 416 quarto pages of the size of the present. 3. The price will be three dollars for a single subscriber five dollars for two and clubs of live and upwards will be supplied at two dollars each. 4. As the work will not bc commenced, unless a sufficient patronage be obtained, no payment is required at present, only the name, sent free of postage. Those wishing to support the publication will be pleased therefore to announce their intention as early as possible, as it is intended to commence the work on the first cf January next.
