that her revolution had taken place in the Choctaw
nation and had ended in the pete ration IF the
power of old Mushulatubba. Tho Chortaw nation is
divided into three districts called Lower towns Six
towns, and Upper towns. The upper towns form the
western district Col. Lafeur formerly chief Of
the Upper towns, and COL Folsom and Garland resign
ed, and Col Lafleur chosen chief TO the whole
ton This council, it will be recoec,ed. also voted
to offer their country for sale to the United States,
on certain conditions, and to west OF the Misss-
sippi.
The vote to cell the country excited so much dssat-
isfAcon that Mushula,ubba. Che Leader of the Pagan
Party) who had formerly been chief of the Lower
towns districts but had been deposed, avail-d himself
of il TO his fortunes He placed himself the
head of his friends and with the aid of Netockoche the
Leader OF the Kun.has little Pagan clan in Six
district, succeeding in obtaining temporary ascendancy
in the eastern part of the ration The followers OF Musb
ulaubba went through the form Of appointing him
chief of the Lower towns in the place OF Folsom and
Neockoche took the place OF Garland as chief Of the
six towns.
Al the time of the distribution of the annuity for IN
two eastern districts at the factory Mushuaubba ard
Neockoche surrounded the buildings with their men,
and received 10 prevent the christian party from recsiv
ing any part of the goods. For this purpose they sta
toned guards along this road, and bad collected body
OF 30 or go armed men. But what was their surprise
when Col Laleur suddenly appeared before them al
the he ad OF eight hundred armed warriors The truth
is he left home with the determination of settling the
controversy. He had. therefore, made ample prepara-
u0D and on MS ARRIVAL near The factory ne sent 10 tue
Pagans "a straight forward talk and il also, "a hard
talk 'Mushuatubba must resign, and must make his
decision in fifteen minutes. AT the end OF this period,
receiving no answer Col L. the head Of his mount

Mushulatubba had secreied himself, and Neteckache
coming forward, offered his hand for peace which
accepted. Col. Laaeur and Col. Folsom, themselves
unarmed, but at the head OF their men, then gush-d
their way, in company with Netockochs, through the
guard towards the body OF the Pagan party who Nd in
all directions al their approach Mushuaubba At length
made his appearance and finding all resistance hopeless
consented to i'm AID tod not to think of the Office

Every thing, says the letter, has turned out
