Remarks.

These islands, near the Mackanaw,
abound with fine plaster.

The Weas cede all their lands, reserved
by the 2nd Art. of the treaty of St.
Mary's.

By this Treaty, boundaries are estab-
lished between the U. States and the
Chocktaws, which are to "remain
without alteration, until the period
at which said nation shall become so
civilized and enlightened, as to be
made citizens of the U. States, and
Congress shall lay off a limited par-
cel of land for the benefit of each
family or individual in the nation.'
Fifty-four sections of land, each a
mile square, are appropriated to the
support of Choctaw schools.
This purchase embaaces a large tract
of land between Flint and Chatahou-
chee rivers.
