The Rev. Dr. Morse, left town yesterday afternoon, on his way to Buffalo. He is employed, we understand, by government, on a mission for investigating the actual condition of the Indians in the western and northwestern parts of the union, preparatory to a distribution of the funds that have been appropriated by Congress for the civilization of the Indians.
Dr. Morse will proceed from Detroit to Mackinaw; from thence across the northwestern territory, to the Falls of St. Anthony, and in his way will visit all the tribes of Indians that reside in that country. He will then probably descend the Mississippi, and on his return, examine the condition of the tribes in the western states. The intention of government, in this mission, we learn, is to obtain an accurate account of the state of all the savages north of the Ohio.
No one can fail of wishing ample success to the benevolent views of the government and its agent.
