Death offhe Black For


The death OF this distinguished Chief of
the Cherokees, is an event OF Importance to
the people Of this section of the western
country. Many of the young men of the ma
ton II is known have expressed themselves
with jealous hostility IF the whites inso
much that on several occasions misundcr.
standings, like to rpreduce bloodshed, have
frequently taken plsce ;
=" Notwithstanding detachments Of the u. S
troops have frequently been employed in re
moving tresspaSsers off the Indian lands.
encroachments continue to be made & con
tinue to'turnish just subjects Of complaint to
this tribe of Indians. Circumstances of this
kind afford 10 the restless and designing the
means OF sowing the seeds OF hostility in the
minds OF many. Tn such occasions the i'm
flsence OF the Black Fox never failed in
quoting the minds of his unreflecting bre
threR~-and when it is considered tn a
commercial intercourse with Mobile thro'
the wa,ers of the Coosa, which rise in. &,

Cherokee country, is an object Of particular
interest 10 the people q this S ate, the death

to estimate the advantages that would re
suit 10 his tribe from a measure of the kind.
is SO much 10 be regretted.
The following letter from a much .
steemed correspondent, (Col. Meigs. agent
to the Che okees) was received by the los,
mail
AisuasSee Garrison, 3ot6 July, 1911.
SIR,
Permit me to enclose to you the copy
of letter from Richard Brown. a Chero,
kee chief, informing me of the death of the
Black Fox. the head chief of the Chero.
KEGS. whose decease is lamented by them
BY the death of this man they have lost the
aid and guide of an able leader, who by his
gentic disposition, and cord understanding,
automatically we'll calculated TO lead
people OF strong passion, ever liable to re
misled by artful men. He always confided
in and honored the administration of the
government, cheerfully entering into its
views and measures for the promotion of
civilization amongst his people, Justly
considering that his people were a part
ot the great whole, and that their safety and
real interest depended on their holding the
United States fast by fhe hand, and OF be-
ing governed by their advice. The Black
Fox was OF unmixed blood, real Chero-
kee, had a remarkable command of his
passions. In the warmest debates in their
national councils, he was never known, as
l have been informed, to have lost the com.
mand of his temper. The Cherokees loved
him for his good disposition, and esteemed
him for his understanding. Some may per
haps say, why do you say so much about
this Indian chief? il may be answered, he was
indeed a Man, the worthy head of 1S, 900 hu-
man beings. whom he guided with discre
tion and wisdom in their connection with
the u. 5. Such men have a claim on
generous recollection of the community
could say more to say less would at
least be doing negative injustise to his me
rit.
