The CREEK INDIANs.-The following statement,
says the Van Buren, (Ark.) Integencer shows the
number OF the whole Creek tribe taken from the
of the Nation, and an estimate by the Chiefs
OF those elsewhere:
'By census, in the Nation, (Indans) u, 400; by
census in the Nation, (Negroes,) 1,O77-aggregate
in the Nation, 1867. In the Cherokee Nation. Zoo
nd Chocta,y Not;n
300; Mississippi Swamp, $50; in Texas, $50: in
Mexico and hunting ground, 100-aggregate, Io,ooi
The Creeks are not as far advanced the Cherokees
and Choctaws. There are fewer mixed bloods among
them. They have written Constitution or Laws.
They take no interest in education and are generally
very ignorant. They are the worst governed tribe on
the frontier. They have two principal Chiefs and
several hundred Sub-Chefs, or law makers who
receive and divide among themselves nearly all the
annuities paid the Nation by the Government of the
United States. But notwithstanding their bad form
of government, peace and harmony prevail among
them. Their wants are few, and they appear to be
contented. The Negroes render their masters but
little service.

lrishman named Smith, employed on the Hamilton
Corporation, became entangled this morning in a
belt and carried the drum several times by
which his limbs were broken in several places. We
learn that the space through which he was drawn at
each revolution, would not exceed eight inches. He
was crushed SO horribly, that no attempt was made
to repair his injuries He lived but a few minutes
after the accident. Lowell Advertiser, Friday.
