Knorrilie, Ten ApriI l8.-An appropriation
Of ten thousand dollars having been made by the
late Congress, to "defray the expense Of hold
ing councils withthe Cherokee Indians, for the
,wo.fold purpose Of procuring an extlnguish'
ment of their claims to lands held by them
within tho limits Of the State OF North Carroll
ma, and for extinguishing their claim to as
much land as will be necessary Tor canal TO
connect the Hiwassee and Conasaga rivers
with each other"
The President of the United States has ap-
pointed Gen. John Cooke, of this State, G. l..
Dawson and Alexander Gray, OF North Carroll
ma, Joint commissioners to carry the object Of
said appropriation into effect, so soon as posi-
BILE. in order to report the results Of their ncg0
tiations to the next session Of Congress.
We acknowledge our qualification at the 90.
poiutment OF Gen. Cooke, as chairman Of the
committee, to unite his talents aud influence
with the gentlemen from N. c, who, from
what we have learned, are well qualified Tor the
important negotiation. The great difficulty 10
be apprehended, will, we fear, arise from the
uninslructed part Of the Cherokees. The unin-
sirucied part we say; for certainly there never
was an object more important TO the Cherokee
nation than would be the contemplated CANAL
1t will enhance the value Of their country, at
least fifty per cent. Should the Cherokees ad.
vance in civilization as fast hereafter as they
have done for some time past, they will soon
become respec table citizens, prepared to appre-
ciale and improve the privileges Of social life,
and we really hope they will consult their own
interest so far as 10 second the views Of the U.
State. in the construction Of the contemplated

cordingly when the unpleasant, intruder had ia

wing, Shutter with much gravity asked one Of
the ladies her motive for visiting Brighton?-
She replied her physician had ordered her to
