Another Indian Regiment.—Gen. Lane yesterday had a "talk" with Arkahato, first Chief of the Otoes, in regard of forming a regiment from the confederated tribes North. A large delegation from the Otoes, Missouris and Pawnees were present, among which was Little Pipe, Missouri, Pa-ne-can-che, Jo-John Mose Betine, Arekusbkena and Wildfire. L. Bernard, Government Interpreter, acted in that capacity. The delegation was accompanied by Gideon Bennett, who has been twenty years with the Otoes. Gen. Lane distributed to the delegation twenty-four complete uniforms, gave them muskets, and ammunition, and promised them his influence in favor of the organization of the regiment, which when raised, will probably be under command of Lieut. Burchard, and formed of Otoes, Pawnees, Missouris, Kickapoos and Pottowattomies.
