The CHERoKEEs. Among the public
documents relating to the Indians, there is
letter addressed by the Rev S4m'l A.
Worcester, to Mr.. Cooley of Washing
ton, which gives an interesting statement
in regard to The present condition of the
Cherokees. Mr.. Worcester has resided
among them about fou. years, and during
this time he has had opportunities of seeing
almost every par: of the Nation. He saws.
their laws are executed with a good degree
OF efficiency, and without the least HIM
drance from any thing like a spirit Of insub-
ordination. Oatbs are constantly admin
lstered in their Courts, and he has never
heard ofany instance of perjury. The pres
ent principal chief is about 40 years DID,
The nation in general dress like the whites.
Most of the female garments are wove as
well as spun in the nation, and from cotton
OF theT own growth. A few of the Chero-
KEGS are mechanics. Agricultureis the pres-
ent employment, and almost the sole de-
Pendence of every family in the Nation. He
has not found that wandering part of the
people, who live by the chase, as described
10y some members of Congress. He does
not know single family who depend. in
any considerable degree, on game for sun
port. The houses of the Cherokees are IF
all sorts, from an elegant painted or brick
mansion down to a mean log cabin. They.
for the most part, read and write the Cher
okee language. The whole number of ma.
tive members Of the Presbyterian Churches
IS about 40. United Brethren, 54; Ban
lists, so; Methodists, more than 800. A
greater part Of the Nation acknowledge the
truth of the Christian religion. Mr.. Wor-
cester contradicts the statement, which has
so frequently been made, that the common
people OF the Nation would gladly remove.
were they not deferred by the chiefs and
other influential men. II is the earnest
wish of the whole body of the people 10 re-
main where they are. They are not over
awed by the chiefs. The whole tide Of ma
tlonnl feeling is against a removal to the
Vest Salem Observer.

PROPOSED RESIDENCE OF THE INDIANS.
The whole country west of Missouri and
Arkansas, Including forty miles severed
from the latter is already parceled out to
the different tribes that now occupy it.
The Cherokees and Creeks are already
murmurlng on account of their restricted
limits, and complain that the government
has assigned to both the same tract of coun-
try. The productions of the habitabe parts
OF the country, under the careless culture of
the Indians, will be found not more than
sufficient to supply the wants of the present
population. If the proposition respecting
the formation of an Indian colony, contained
in the report of the Secretary of War,
should be adopted by the Government, we
will have, according to the Secretary's cal
culatlon, $4,000 at one litter in addition to
those already in the country. Will he tell
us, where he will put them and how he
will support them under existing circum-
stances ? | believe his plan rational and
Practicable, if the Texas country belonged
to the Government; but otherwise, the re-
stricted limits in which he would have to
plant his colony, would render it a perfect
Indian cr-house.-.drkansas Gazette
ECONOMY. The cheapest cloth that we

dyed OF a permanent nankeen color by
every housewife, at an expense for mater

suitable for many articles of dress for men,
women and children. Many families in
northampton, and probably in other parts of
the country, color the cotton, and use it for
gowns, pantaloons, and almost all summer
garments for children. The following are
the coloTlng matters used For 8 or 10
yards OF three quarter cotton, half peck of
ground hemlock bark, (such as tanners use)
nall pound OF alum, and a small piece,
perhaps one fourth of an ounce, of arnatte,
lcalled otter.) Some mix portion of oak
bark with the hem1ock. The proportions of
the ingredients are regulated by the shade

used, leather color will be communicated
to the cloth. The dyeing process is differ

ner. The bark is put into water and boil
ed two or three hours the liquor is then
strained off, the alum and otter added and
dissolved, and the cloth put in and boiled
one or two hours. To dispose the cotton to
receive the dye, it must first be washed in
hot suds, and little pounding will do it no
harm. After it has acquired the color de-
sired, it is taken out of the dye, dried, and
then washed in hot suds. Those who use
this domestic nankeen think that the color
and cloth are as durable as the nankeens
