Show belong, or to some place in the Indian territory south of Kansas. For various reasons tl~eire moval has not yet been undertaken. Indeed, while this may be found practicable, I doubt whether it can be thoroughly accomplished without additional and severe legislation on the uast of Congress, as the Indians are attached to the countrv. and rxpit.ss great i6;1ug&11ee to their conte~nplatetl re~no\.al ti.ont ii.' On this :Iccount, aud fur the reason r l~:~t1t1 es cannot 118 sul~l,ostdt o fr.el much interest in those from whom they have been so long separated, and by whom they might not be heartily welcomed, it is probable tllat those who should be removed against their will would return to their I old haunts, and do the same as often as they should be removed there-from. Such has been the case heretofore, not only with these, but with other Indians. The Indians residing within the limits of Minnesota, as in the case of those of the same uame living in Wisconsin, heretofore noticed, constitute ortion of the Ojibway or Chippewa nation, and com-prise the %owing bands: Mississippi, Pillager, Winnebagoshish, Pembina, Red Lake, Boise Forte, Feud do Lac, and Gralld Portage. The last three bands, being attached to the agency for the Chippewas of Lake Superior, have been treated of in connection with the Ind~ansof Wisconsin. The five first-named bands number in the aggregate about six thousand four hundred and lifty-five souls, and occupy, or rather it is intended they shall ultimately occupy, ample reservations in the ceu-tral and norther11 portion of the State, know^^ as the White Earth, Leech Lake, and Red Lake reservations, containing altogether about 4,673,000 acres, a portion of which is very valuable for its pine timber. The condition of these Indians, except those upon the White Earth reservation, has been but little changed during the past year from that of several years preceding. Great difficulty is still experienced in inducinr the Indians to remain nermanentlv nuou their reservations: a rovini life is still preferred by many, theirold haunts presentiui more attractions for them than new homes, with theunavoidable neces-sitv of labor for subsistence.

Nine murders of citizens are reported to have been committed by individual Chippewas, mainly if not wholly of this band, and t,hreats were made on the psrt of some of the Pillagers, which, if carried out, would have involved nearly all of the Indians of this section in hostilities. Happily, by the prompt arrival of United States troops upon the White Earth reservatioll, and more especially by the strong disapprobation of the conduct of the Pillagers expressed in council by the general body of Leech Lake Indians, and their evident purpose to unite with t,he Government in putting down any and all enemies of the peace, the crisis was passed, and comparative quiet bas again been restored.
