Comanches

Col. J. C. Eldredge, the Commissioner appointed by the President to treat with the Comanches, arrived in town on Friday, and brought the cheering intelligence that he had effected in part the objects of his mission. He met with a large band of the Comanches, with the principal chief of all the associate bands, Pah-hah-yuco, on the head waters of Red River, near the mountains, who informed him that he was desirous of making peace with Texas, but as no final treaty could be made without the consent of the other bands, and as there was not sufficient time to see them all before the council at Bird's Fort, he did not think it best to come at this time. He agreed to visit his associate bands, give them counsels of peace, collect all the white prisoners among them, and induce the head chiefs to attend with him a council to be held on the Brazos river next December. The principal chiefs of the Towaccanies, Wacoes, Keachies, Toweash, and several other tribes, Col. E. informs us he left on their route to Bird's Fort, in charge of Thos. S. Torrey, Esq., the Indian agent, who accompanied him on his mission, and he thinks by this time they have arrived. Genl's Tarrant and Terrel, the commissioners, to form the treaty, were at Bird's Fort, awaiting their arrival when Col. Eldredge left. — Tel.
