Ms. EDrroR;-Next Monday is the day ap-
pointed by Col. Fulsom and one two Others Of
responsibility, TO meet in Doaksville for the pnr-
pose of taking into consideration the expediency
of publishing newspaper within the Chociaw
Nation. What glorious day il will be in the
annals of this generous and prosperous people if the
measure is carried into effect. And what is TO
prevent the full completion of the object with such
men as the Colonel at the wheel There IS but
little fear that the measure Will be completed 50
soon necessary articles for press can be OBJ
tai2ed. This object has been in contemplation for
some time but has never before received 50 warm
and jealous support. II is proposed to begin the
object by Joint stock and managed by trustees, but
by what means the measure will be effected re-
mains vet to be ascertained Mr.. Peter Pitch
lyn, one of the most intelligent, shrcwd, and
conspicuous natives, is spoken of the probable
editor. Indeed n more suitable person could not
be selected in the entire Nation. He is second
to none in sound Judgment and all the attributes
OF n iudicious financier, statesman and worthy
citizen. Well may the Choctaws be proud OF
such n son. In one word, he is the John &. Cal
houn of this people.
From all that | can learn the columns of this
contemplated paper will be devoted exclusively 10
the interest OF the Nation-one half to be in the
native tongue and the remainder Englisll--ncutrll
in politics and religion, but moral and watchiuI
of the acts of all officers and those aspiring to
office within the Naton-gving at all times
full account of the progress Of the people IN the
various arts aud sciences, &c ! am OF the opinion
that paper conducted this plan will receive
large patronage.

v h ch r said to be Of the finest Kind Wonder
II odd Bcalf will carry the same old boots aud
scalpng kne with him into Mexico that nc had
with him IN Fioridil Ii he does, il is TO be hoped
that hc will not show as much barbality as he d
IN scalping n poor Seminole after being shot TIL
doubly dead in a certain Instance on the banks
of lake near Tampa Bay. I imagine he will
hnd II tougher work handling the Mcxicans than
hc did tina handful Of Seminoics.
Since the rainy weather begun, some two weeks
ago, Red river has been in good boating order but
no arrivals. Isuppose this is owing there being
no freight below. High water at this season Is
something novel in the history Of Red riyer-ihc
like has not been known for some time before
From all appearances the boating season will be-
gin quite early.
Yours, &c
