THE CHocTAws. A letter to the editor of
:he Nashville Banner, dated Columbus. miss }
April 90, states the late proposal by the Choc-
taw tribe to sell their lands to the United States
has produced great dissatisfaction among the
several districts. Some are opposed to selling
at any price. Two Chiefs, Col. Fulsom and
Mr. Garland, have resigned, and Col Lafieur
has been partially declared King or Chief of
the whole nation, it having been done by mi
norty of the natives. The opposing parties
are violently incensed at each other, and the
districts adjoining, are hourly expecting the
commencement of hOstities, and in fact there
are various conjectures as to the final issue of
this matter.

In March 1929, we were requested by the at.
tending physician, to kill some birds for sick
member of family. We took our rife, (car.
rying about 100 to the pound) and loaded it
moderately, with mustard seed shot, for The
purpose of saving the bodies Of the birds-know-
ing that not able, one in three, TO head them

hole, was burst off Tho barrel fell TO the ground
leaving us in the peaceable possession of the
breech; the front part of the stock having been
blown away, and the guard regularly bent round
our left hand-(we shoot " cross fire." which,
in this case, made our danger the greater.
The lock has never been found. On examina-
ton it was discovered, that the shot were about
one third of the way up the barrel, and so firm
ly bruised together and transfxed, that they
could not be dislodged by an iron ramrod and
hammer. We received no injury, except the
pain which arose from the insertion of one par
ticle of powder in the left eye-lid, and shock
similar to that which We once felt when within
fifty feet of a tree struck by lightning. We
have come to the conclusion that il is danger
Gus to shoot shot out Of a rifle. And as for our
selves we have to say, that the next time we
shoot shot, particularly email shot, from rife,
it will be in the field battle, when our bullets
are exhausted.

while in pursuit Of wild turkeys in Hart coun-

cred on the summit of knoll or elevation. a
large hole, that would admit a mans body with
out much difficulty. Curiosity led them to
make preparations for descending into it, and
after the necessary preparations, and having
obtained lights and other company, they did de-
scend, and at the depth of about sixty feet, en-
tered a cavity, or room, apparently cut out OF
solid rock Through which they had passed for
many feet) which appeared to be l6 or IL feet
square.
Our informant was the FIRST person who en-.
tered the subterraneous room, and he said he
was not littlo surprised, that the first object
which met his eyes was human SKULL with
the teeth all in it. Upon frrther examination,
it was found that the whole place was filed
with human skeletons of men, women, and
children Except Immediately under the small
aperture through which they descended, the
place was perfectly dry, and the bones in state
of great preservation. An entire skeleton of
human body was obtained. They concluded to
examine how deep the bones laid, and penetrat-
ed through them, in one place, between four
and seven feet, but found them Just as plenty as
on the top, but there seemed TO rise an often
sive efiuvia, as they began to come where it
was little damp.
There was no outlet to the room, and large
snake which they found there, and whish ap-
peared entirely docils, passed round the room
several times while they were in il. II is a sub

Six thousand Arabs presented them

their submission to the French army.
They have been desired to return to their
homes, and they have promised to do so.
In the following night another corps of
Arabs presented themselves. Our troops
were preparing to repulse them, but the
Arabs fired their arms in the air, made
their submission, and the same answer
was given them.
