A New Cherokee Treaty.

/ We lrarn by Tho Cherokee Advocate oi
January Nh, that a Treaty has been entered
into between Msj WIN. Armstrong. Gov p.
N. Butler, Col. James Logan aud Tbnnas
l.. Judge, Esq. Commissioners oa the part
Of The United States, and the Chiefs of the
Creeks aud Seminoes, by which the dIfficul.
tics between those two Nations and .hcir
claims on The United States are satisfactorily
adjusted.
Tho Treaty, we learn, contains the follow
ing sli2uotIons:
"The Seminoles, who have, since their re-.
moval from Florida, been scattered among
The Creeks and Cherokees, principally, are
10 be gathered into one district in the
Creek country, and form a constituent part
of that Nation, preserving, to certain extent,
their nationality. They are to have their
monicd affairs distinct; a representation in
the National Council, proportloned to their
numbers, and the right to enact their own
municipal regulations, but subject to the
general Jaws of the Creeks. After their ar
rival in the district of country set opnr. for
them, which lies between the Canadian and
Little Rivers, the Seminoles, in addition to
former siipuations, are TO be subsisled for
six months, to receive, foi five years. ST. 900
per annnm. in agricultural implements, and
$4,000 in goods for fifteen years.
The Creeks, in lieu of the country thus
granted to the Semnoles, will receive in ad
di,ion TO the present school fund, 80. ZOO per
annum, making their whole school fund
$1,000 per annum, which will be paid them
for twenty years.
Upon the signing Of the Treaty, we learn,
that great and general satisfaction was ex-
pressed by the parties, and tha. eloquent
talks were delivered by the celebrated Wild
Cat on the part of the Seminolcs, and on the
part Of the Greeks by Opolh. ley o.ho-la, who
is certainly one Of Natures orators.
In view Of this Treaty, we congratulate
both Creeks and Semnoles. the former in the
acquisition they have made to their strength
and numbers, and the latter in having OF
length secured TO themselves q home and
resting pluce."
The Advocate also mentions that Mcssrs.
Mason and Washington. United States Com
missioners, to odjudicate claims arising un.
der the Treaty of 1885, had arrived at For,
Smith to enter upon their duties.
