The last remnants of this once powerful tribe
crossing ferry on their way to their new
home in the far west. To one who, like the writer,
has been familiar TO their bronze, inexpensive faces
from infancy, it brings associations of peculiar sad
ness to them bidding here last farewell perhaps
to the old hills which gave birth, and doubtless
equally dear to him and them alike. The first play
mates of our infancy the young Choctaw boys Of
the then woods of Warren county. There language
was one scarcely less familiar to US than mother
English. We know, we think, the character of the
Choctaw we'll We knew many of their present stall
braves in those days of early life, when Indian
and white alike forget disguise, but in the unchecked
exuberance of youthful feeling, show the real charac
i ter that policy and habit may afterwards so much
conceal and we know that under the stolid s.oic
Hook he assumes, there is burning in the Indians
ture heart of fire and feeling-and an all-absorbng
keenness Of apprehension, that marks and remembers
every thing that occurs and every insult he receives
Cunni-at-a-hah they are going away! With Wis
ible reluctance which nothing has overcome but the
stern necessity they feel mpelling them they have
looked their last the graves of their sires-tht
scenes of their youth-and have taken up their slow
toilsome march with their household gods among
/ them, to their new home in strange land. They
leave names to many of our rivers, towns and coun
ties and so long as State remains the Choctaw
who owned most of her soil, will be remember
