Ertract Of letter from 1alHahagsee, dated
Juiy IA, $780,

Ertract Of a letter from Iallahassee, datcd
July Ia, 1899.
Last night the Indians made an attack on the
dwelling of Mr.. Greene Chaires, most respect
able planter about ten miles from hence. They
approached the house unobserved-pryed open
one of the weatherboards, and after Introducing
fire and conbustbes, drew themselves up in front
of the paror wildows, and discharged their arms
intc the rooms in which were Mrs Charcs and
her two youngest children. Mr.. Chaires and his
daughter Elizabeth and one son had retired for
the night. The report Of fire arms reused Mr..
&. from his slumber and on opening the parlor
door, he beheld the lleless forms of his wife and
two children; he then made his escape from a
back window, AID succeeded in Guiding the Wig
Hence of the Indians. His daughter and son
were equally fortunate. The house was burned
to the ground and with it the remains of the slain
The attack was made between 8 and 10 p. M.
and the light caused by the burning of the dwell
ing was distinctly seen here, but was very gen.
orally supposed to be the steam sawml of Mr.
John G. Gamble.

The CHEROKEE WAR.-A postscript in the
Ozark Standard of the 9th ult. says:
1--WE have just learned by gentleman direct
from Fayetteville, Ark, that the Ridge and Ross
parties are increasing, and that already each party
numbers from two to three thousand warriors.
The Ridge party are represented as the most
numerous, and as determined to revenge the death
of their Chiefs.
We learn also that Gen. Arbuckle had sent two
hundred Dragons to demand the mur!crcrs Of
Ridge, who was murdered within the limits of
this State. Also, that he had ordered home the
Greeks and Senecas who had joined the two hos
tile parties, who are said to have obeyed his
orders

vile (Mo.) Emigrant of the | lth inst. we have
the following unpleasant intelligence from the
Cherokee nation: .~...
We are informed by gentleman directly
from Arkansas, that war is now raging among
the Cherokees.
appears that difficulties and dissensions orig
mating in an un willingness on the part of Ross
and others to submtto the terms Of the treaty by
which they coded to the United States the terri
tory formerly occupied by them, had resolved
themselves into two partes the Ross party and the
Ridge party, each contendng for the ascendency.
The followers of Bushy head, as he is called,
may, we presume, be said to constitute third
party. This latter individually however, has hilh-
erto acted rather in the character of paciticator,
and has employed himself chiefly in efforts to
effect reconciliation.
On June 3oth their National Council assem-
bled for the purpose of legislation. The rejec-
ton of a law proposed by member Of the Ridge
party, so highly offended them that they Withdrew
from the council; and subsequently the Ross party
resolved to destroy all the chieftians of the Ridge
party, appointing for the execution of this pur
pose committee of forty individuals to each o
said chiefs. They succeeded in accomplishing
their design, in every instance but one. One sin
\ gle chief This name forgotten) happened not to be
at home. lie rallied lne Ridge party, and on the
2sth marched upon the Ross party battle en-
sued which resulted in loss on both sides vari-
ously estimated at from forty to seventy lives.
Ross was among the slain. Now that Ridge and
Ross are both dead it is hoped, and believed by
many, that Bushy-head, by his great popularity
with his tribe, will yet succeed in el1ectng re-
cancellation between the parties. The Cherokees
refuse to accept the beef which the contracting
agent was furnishing them, and have threatened
to take his life, unless he pays them the money.

MANA PROGRESSIVE BEING.
Mr. Editor

Man, we believe to be, progressive
being. Desires to ameIioraie his condi-
aspirations after something higher
and better, than at any one period he may
enjoy, are congenial 10 The mind of every
one, who has passed beyond even the
threshold of thought and intelligence. We
delight to review the past, and from the
retrospect 10 derive the assurances. that
we have advanced-lo look forward TO
the future, and indulge in the antcipations
Of still further progress. In these, his on
ward and upward teudencies-man ac-
cords with the system Of things around
him. Progression is written in charac-
ters of living light, on every thing about
US. We see it in the seminal germe,
which. having been deposited within The
soil, and having passed through the minor
observation-disclosures, al length, the pride
of the forest, unfolding towards heaven its
leafy honors, and fixing its foundations
beneath, in the depths ofhe earth. We
see it in the tiny rivulet-which, gushing
from the unnoled hillside, aud receiving
the influx Of tributary streams-becomes,
finally, the highway Of commerce-lhe
constituent of all ocean.
We believe it not difficult 10 prove
that the present age is far in advance Of
any that has preceded it-and still further,
that there are causes now in operation
which, in the ordinary course of events,
will result in the still further advance
ment of the succeeding age. The first
which We would mention is the existence
of the idea, Of universal education. Not
only is this believed to be generally prac-
ticable, but a systematic effort is now
in progress throughout this country
and Europe-which renders it not chin
erical to believe, that the time ,ciN come,
when the blessings of at least an elemen-
,ary education, will be as common as the
enjoyment of air and light.
Again-a spirit of free discussion-a
fearless-piercing inquiry into every thing;
Observation-Disclosures hal
lowed by antiquity aud sanctioned by au-
thority, may be said to characterize our
age. This inquirins tendency is guided
by more phlosophic spirit than former
ly. Alchymy has become Chemistry
Astrology has become Astronomy-Di-
plomacy is no longer regarded as a sys-
tenn ofcraf and issimulation-buti Pol
itics as we'll as in morals, "to do unto 9th
ers, as we would that others should do
unto u.s. is found to be the best, as we'll
as the right rule. The lower classes are
evidently rising in importance. Through
out Europe generally, the middling class
begins to be regarded as the main body
of The nation. A French minister in the
course ola late debate, used this express
sion-"lhe middliug classes Of society,"
who are they?" ''asked one Of The oppo-
sition'-"I was wrong" was the reply,
1--WE now know nothing but the people"
ALI these facts speak in voice which
harmonizes with some OF the noblest aspi-
rations, aud purest feelings of our nature.
They tell US in language that cannot be
mistaken, tina, the race of man is treading
rapidly along that glorious pathway, on
which is Inscribed at every step, in bril-
liant characters
'Sic itur ad astra.
