FIRE. Soon after, the alarm Of fire was given. and
in short time the FIRE department with their en-
gnes were near the scene Of action, and a,ihou oh

by the whites, with want Of fidelity towards the
United States and such charges are calculated,
within themselves, to arouse in the Indians a war
like and unfriendly feeling towards the whites,

such feelings. The Cberokees, Choctaws, and
most OF the Creeks, are perfectly quiet, aud have
