350 ON THE FRONTIER. 



On arrival, a sufficiently commodious tent was pitched 

 in the cavalry square and turned over to our friends, Pah- 

 Squal, Pi-Nole, and Mocha-Smar, for their accommodation, 

 a liberal number of rations furnished them from the com- 

 missary stores, and a sufficiency of fuel and camp equipage 

 from the quartermaster's supplies, and they proceeded to 

 make themselves quite at home. We reported, and then 

 returned to our old quarters. 



The following day a conference was held, terminating to 

 the satisfaction of all parties concerned, especially to that 

 of our brave and gallant chief and kind friend, the general 

 commanding the district ; all the articles of a treaty being 

 determined and agreed to; which treaty, I am happy to 

 be able to state, was subsequently kept a most unusual 

 finale to peace negotiations with American-Indian savages.
