J
MY Friends-I have this moment re-
ceived your letter, and have only to say
in answer, that all the measures neces-
sary for the defence Of that part of the
Frontiers have been taken, and that up
on the first alarm, the proper officers
with their men will be at their posts.
They will protect you within our limits
IN the same manner as they give pro-
lection to our own white people. l
cannot put arms into your hands, be-
cause | have advised you not to use
them but in necessary self-defence, and
because there would be no occasion
for the use of them for that purpose, so
long as you remain within our limits.
Soon you will be under the exclusive
protection of the Government of the
United States, which has sent special
Agent, and has ordered General Of
ficer here TO attend to your safety
that officer has not come, though eve
ry day expected. When he comes you
will hear. In the mean time you will
continue to listen to my talk so far as
l am now authorized TO give you any
it is to keep peace as you have done
from the first, and until you hear fur
ther from the Government Of the Uni
ted States-Our white population are
strong enough to defend you and them
selves too, and believe they are quite
wiling to do it.

is true; from what we have ourselves
discovered, we have little or no doubt
of the fact; we have recommended
them TO keep out guard, which they
have done; we think it would be advi-
sable to keep guard at this place at
least during the stay OF the Friendly
party. Since writing the above, news
has reached here, that four Indians
were discovered in one mile OF this
place, and had every appearance OF be-
ing lurking about for some mischief.

Dear Chilly-By Morty we inform
YOU that either the Cherokees or some
of the hostiles are doing considerable
mischief on Flint river, this week past
there has been in aparty of Indians,
and stole as many as FIVE horses from
the whites, of which the white people
and some Of our Indians are now in
pursuit Of them; they have gone to-
wards the Cherokee Nation After ar
irving at Newman, we concluded to
send out broken days TO all our friends
in the Nation, TO meet at the Springs
on the 18th of this month, agreeable to
previous notice-we have particular
ly required all to come, who in'ends
Joining us-the hostiles are still doing
all the harm to us they. can-they have
driven off some of Rolly's cattle, and
killed good many cattle and hogs
1t appears that they are disposed to
destroy every thing, and leave us bare
of any thing-As for the quantity OF
stock destroyed, it is not ascertained,
but considerable. 1t is necessary for
US to send you word what the hostiIes
are determined to do, (that is) if we
don't Immediately go home to the Ma
ton, that they intend coming after us,
and have us tied by white people and
carried home-you know we must be
very fraid of that.
We intend sending one or two men
to visit their meeting at Broken Ar
row, with our justification in writing,
why we have taken the steps we have
When we left you, there was an under
standing for party of us to SO and
drive in Rolly's cattle, but the meeting
at the Springs is so near that we have
postponed it until afterwards. Nothing
more until we meet you at the Springs
If you have received any further
news from the President or the Cover
nor of Georgia, you will please for
ward it, as it will give us considerable
satisfaction.
We are yours as usual, &c.

Respected sir-In consequence of
the situation of things at this place, l
have thought proper to send you those
papers. IT'S impossible TO procure arms
Of any kind-and since writing the o.
Their letter, l have received still further
news, and that of kind not to be doubt
ed, that numbers Of those hostiIcs are
Immediately around me. Tie neigh
bors have become much alarmed, and
will no doubt leave their houses unless
we receive some assistance from you,
and that as soon as you, in your judg-
ment, may please to let us have. You
will do me the kindness to send me a
line by the boy, bearer of this. Your
humble servant, JOEL BAILEY.
P.S. The horses spoken of in this
letter, we understand were stolen by the
party now in this neighborhood, and
have also heard Of many others being
missed; whether stolen by them or not,
no doubt by some of their gang. IT'S
with the utmost regret that l am COM
PEELED 10 make this communication, as
it affects not only the happiness of my
family and neighbors, but will injure to

Monroe COUNTY, 9th Jme, 1925.

Dear Sil-I have only time now 10
say to you, that great alarm and dan
ger exists amongst the people about
the Springs at this time. Three to
four Indians were seen last night by
Squire Robert Z. Martin, late Of
Greensboro, passing repeatedly around
his house. This is :hc house occu-
pied by General Mcintosh during the
Spring Treaty. To-day again, FIVE or
six were seen within mile and q half
Of the Springs by Mr.. Strahan, re-
spectacle man, creeping in the woods.
The alarm first occurred there on Sum-
day night, producing much noise and
disturbance amongst the dogs, to the
annoyance ofthe peoples repose. The
Chiefs on Monday received intimation
of the danger from the friendly party
at Newman, dated on Sunday, saying
that the hostiles would come in and
have the offending Chiefs tied by their
,chite friends, taken back and killed
Their view ostensibly is to kill Chilly
Mcintosh and Col. Miller. The whites
in the neighborhood are also in great
alarm, particularly women and children,
the weak minded and cowardly.
They are now fortunately too late,
however, great their anticipated sup
port from white persons. l am my
self Immediately marching, our Regi-
ment also are advised of the alarm, and
volunteers are concentrating, sufficient
perhaps to afford immediate protection.
But ii is rather singular contingency
no danger feared to the whites, and
much doubtless intended our red
friends. Under these circumstances
the certcinty or continuance perhaps Of
their protection by the whites here, ex-
cept relative to their own safety and
quiet, may not be lasting or effectual.
But if tke hostiles kill them, they will
have to kill few white-men at least:
this will open the eyes Of all to their
regardless acts.
In great haste, yours truly,
w. B. ECTOR.

Dear Friend-NVe have discovered
for one or two days past, signs Of hos
tile Indians. Last night it was reduced
to a certainty--we have kept out a
strict guard from the first discovery,
and shall continue to do so until we
hear from you; we have thought pro-
per TO give you this information, and
hope you will adopt such measures as
you may deem most advisable for our
future safety; we are without guns, ex-
cept what our white friends have loan
ed us. We think their object is to
kill some of us, and perhaps burn the
buildings on this place.

Before your adjournment, 1t IS due
to you to place you in possession Of all
the informationAreceived at this depart
ment, and so soon as received, of the
actual state of things upon our from
tiers, and from which, as by the infor-
nation hitherto disclosed, the most un-
pleasant tidings may be daily expect
ed. Without adverting to the causes
or origin of them at all, l must say to
YOU, that il is my deliberate opinion,
that the United States Government will
be directly answerable to Georgia for
every drop of blood shed upon this oc-
casion; and I further say to you, what
has been more than once said, that no
State having pretensions to even limit
ed sovereignty, ought to be dependent
on another for the protection which is
due from government to its citizens,
much less for that which, from the in
formation communicated, seems TO be
urgently demanded for our frontier
inhabitants. 1t is scarcely necessary
TO add, that there are no measures
which you may constitutionally author
Use, which / will not execute with
promptness and energy.

Montreal, June ls.-On Thursday
the Lady Sherbrook and Quebec steam
boats brought from Quebec about 700
Irish emigrants, sent out by Govern
ment. Without being permitted to
enter the town they proceeded immedi-
ately to Lachine, to be conveyed by
water to their destination in Upper Ca
NADIA. So large body of emigrants
may easily be supposed to have pre-.
scented very molly appearance, but it
is matter of great satisfaction that so
numerous class of destitute persons
are brought to the country under the
superintendent of government, who
will not permit them TO want for any
necessary comforts, instead of being
permitted to land on our shores ma
ked and destitute, without any plan to
govern their future conduct as emf
grants, or funds to establish them OH a
respectable footing in the country.
This seems to be the true system of
emigration, and that alone which can
advance the prosperity ofthe country,
and the happiness of the emigrants
themselves.
