man Of our acquaintance, who is tfavell-
Jag among the Indians in Arkansas. la
ore Of these letters, written at Ozark,
franklin Co., "a kansas) he gives very
interesting account Of the Cherokees.-
About one-third Of them, he says, are OF d
| dark complexion, and the remainder are
| as light as many white men. Their
| houses are we'll furnshed-bette: even

md the periodicals of the day, and some
families have piano Cortrs. Their ddugh
! rrs have been educated in Georgia and
Tennessee. AS for wealth. many OF the
Chrrokees are worth from ten thousand 10
fifty thousand dollars, and several can
count their quarter of million.
The Creeks are not quite so civilized
as the Cherokees, but they are~much bet,
