Removal of the Last of the Indians from Ohio. The Wyandotts, the last tribe of Indians in the State of Ohio, have departed for their new home West of the Mississippi. A delegation from the tribe, consisting of three principal Chiefs, visited Columbus on Saturday week to bid farewell to the Governor, and, through him, to the people of Ohio. Jacques, the head chief, delivered a beautiful address on the occasion, to which the Governor replied, assuring them of the good feeling of the people of Ohio towards their brethren, and wishing them happiness and prosperity in their new home. The scene (says the Statesman) was very interesting, and the sentiments delivered by the venerable Chief were worthy the head and heart of a Chief of this once noble race.
