ANTHONY.] The amusements of the dog feast, or dance, have closed, and the Chippeway chief has signified to his warriors that they were to return home on the following day.

He expressed a wish to see several of the chiefs of the Dahcotahs, and a meeting having been obtained, he thus addressed them-- "Warriors! it has been the wish of our great father that we should be friends; blood enough has been shed on both sides.

But even if we preferred to continue at war, we must do as our great father says.

The Indian's glory is passing away; they are as the setting sun; while the white man is as the sun rising in all his power.

We are the falling leaves; the whites are the powerful horses that trample them under foot.
We are about to return home, and it is well that nothing has happened to occasion strife between us.
