Dear Editor : - At the e lose of the payment made at this place, a few* days' ago, and after Major Herriman had paid the chiefs, some nix or seven hundred dollars, surplus money, he took from his Wallet and gave Flat Mouth, the head chief of tho PiHagers, five dollars of his own money, and told hint thaL tbe money he had paid them, &.c , expected, he the last that he pay them, and with the five dollars Tt* h id just given him he must buy him/elf a blanket as soon as he heard- that' he the maj'»v) had left the country. That they had always been good friends, and he hoped that they parted so, that he did not leave them because he Wanted tr> get rid of them, but he thought that his duty towards his own family/ it ; that he should give 'fopm a/mmfi name to his successor, Red they would always respect rfnd^istcfrW major was occurred fhlrttwas with RHMmy that I could do justice to the imerpretarion thereof, on account ef ; being moved al most to tears myself did Ohief gat up- the appeal of the major was more th n he could stand, and said, " Hold on, my father; yotjjumuat hear what we have to say tdHpd, and sometimes childish, but I knotPi am not so in what l am about to say, for here are aft these chiefs who all agree with me,, as it was only yesterday, that we Were talking about you, and we were all of one mind. I call yog father, although lam much older than* yeu are. Some houses that we go into, the white people will take us by the hand and tell us to amrqk en, after leading us to the door. But ; when you see a* before your door, wh«fr we go t;i your house, we are al ways sfrrq to; see you meeting up liter**, and bid us welcome in. .When yoor, meals are ready, we find- a plate for leSfrl* of us, add your own wi e will pour out cofTee for us, and make us feel at home ; thfrn why Mtould wp not call you father ? You have paid Us a great many goods, and targe sums «»f money, and we believe that we have always re ceived every thing that wo Were entitled to. We haw tnivfled many miles with yen- and under/your cate.

Now ( you uro going to leave us, to we can call you father no longer. Shall we, ia deppping that.sweet appellation, give it .the same meauiag of one departed from life ■ &.. Because you choose to leave your position as our father, do not let it be understood among our chiefs that yon are dead to us. Let us from this time cal! each other brothers. The (ive dol lar* you gave ate to buy a blanket with, f shall use for that purpose, and I shall keep the same as I ana old, end must pay the debt that I owe to the mas ter of life—l will be laid fib" it ; and if you should ever pass near my grave, I want you to stop and drop a brotherly tear, and say there lies a great and good chief in heart, and onp that did the most he could tp ameliorate the condition of his tribe, and,, gain the good will of the whites in his buiruble capacity, wrapped in his brothers wading sheet.” Just at this time I happened to cast . my eyeron the old major, and Bi|w the tears running down his cheeks like rain. • ,1 must acknowledge I felt strange my jieif; my voice fullered so that 1 had to wjkp two or three times before 1 could finish in targeting the last sentence. 1 assure y9u.it was a sight I never will forget. Old Flat Mouth, is about ninety years ffo was in the prime of life when lie saw the first white man, which was Gen. Pike, iu 1800. The idea of a savage^talking to an agent iu the way lie did, was to me very unexpected. Then Mauj-r-gah-bow got up and said, My father, I want to say a few •words to you before we part. I ain no .phief, but I am at the head of a band by r af fhtTtrtnflri I went Washington with you and signed the freati. . * just want to say that what old Flat - Mouth has jest said ts just our minds. For mvself I will say, that some years ago I buried my father near th** little Lake at Ottertail Point ; from that time I was an orphan until you came among us,—now you are goibg to leave •is, and I must be an orphan again. Just at the time that we know each other, and understated each cither, and enjoy Ljacti other?* confidence, you arc about Hp leave as. 1 know that we cannot raff< r your miod ; but rest assured tlurt Koii leaf o us in peace, and that ybu lea* ,0 enemies among' 1 these chief# behind aapd ” .
