From the Cherokee Intelligencer,

We have been permitted to peruse a letter
giving the following detail of an aifray be-
tween Ridges and Ross's friends, at head of
Cosso. Under other circumstances we
should permit this to pass off as we do many
other affrays of the like kind, but when it is
considered that Ridge is at the head of the
treaty party, and Ross at the head of the OPP
position, we may reasonably infer that there
exists much hostile feelings between these
two parties upon that subject, and that they
are disposed to manifest it towards each other
on every occasion.
| Rumor says that the anti-treaty party are
much dspeased with Ross, accusing him of
deception in promising to estore the land.
and that personal violence is threatened him.
