THE CHEROKEES.

We are informed by gentleman recent
ly from Alabama and Georgia, 4, At there is
prospect of the Cherokees becoming SOC n
organized into little Republic Of their own.
Their head chief is half blood of consider
able wealth and very respectable talents,
which have been brought to the best account
by a liberal education. He is now engaged,
with good prospect of success, IN civilizing
his red brethren, and organizing them, upon
the same principles with the existing States,
and if he succeeds in this, they will apply to
the general government to be admitted as
Territory. A number of the Indians of this
tribe are wealthy, raise cotton. and own
large numbers of slaves. An Alabama pa
per, in noticing these facts, says: 1--WE wish
them all success. We have very little doubt
but they will frame constitution and code
OF laws, under which they can live contented
and happy. In fact, we would as soon un-
dertake to form a Republic of the Cherokee
nation, as of some Of the South American
Provinces. The Cherokee population in
1924, exclusive Of blacks, was 3789 OF
these, something more than one-third re-
tanned the original manners and habits OF
their nation, and from their love of hunting,
and aversion to labor, they will no doubt be,
ere long, persuaded to migrate to the West,
and join their friends beyond the Mssissip-
pl The remainder consisting of all those
VINO have any love for improvement in the
arts of civilized life, are determined to live
aud die in the land of their forefathers. And
as they have such determination to become
permanent neighbors, We hope they may
prosper in whatever may tend to render
hem peaceable ones"

large full grains. Whilst we are enjoying
full and plenty, we should not forget those
in remoter regions. who have been less for

propitious than with US. Lamcntable &C

and failure of crops. The Macon Telegraph

We hear the most melancholy accounts of

and the utter prostration os the hopes Of the
the farmer-the structure on which the
prosperity Of the whole community is based.
With few exceptions. the Drought is very
general. In some Districts no rain has fallen
| for many weeks; the earth has become fair

Whole corn fields are entirely destroyed
the corn blades, contorted and scorched, fall
to the ground; and the shrvelled stalks
smoke with heat. The cotton plant, from
its slower growth and deeper roots, suffers
later than the corn, butt also begins to feel
the effects of the draught. The leaves burn
up, and flowers wither and fall, leaving no
boil in their place. The animal as we'll as
the vegetable kingdom pants with the ex-
cessivc heat and drought. Inhabitants of
ponds and sire ans are boiled in their own
element, or perish by its evaporation. Cat

man in vain for succor; their emaciated car
casses and sunken eyeballs, as they watch
the rrluctan, clouds speak the keenness of
their suiferings. Large streams have sunk
to narrow ri,ls, and fountains are drying up.
