The National Intelligencer publishes two
letters from the Cherokee country, which
show The condition Of Gfairsf }here to be bad
enough, and demanding the immediate at,
tentiOn Of Government. We copy them:
"Every road side for miles around Evans
vile, is white with human bones, now bleach.
ing by every days sun, and whose Gives have
been taken by = y,
aside from those who had the fortune to be
inferred. During this Spring, since those
who were so disposed commenced their crops
not less than seUen innocent Ckefokees have
fallen victims whilst al work id their coin
fields, and when suspecting any thing but
that foul murderer had his rifle leVeled just
ready to pull trigger and end their existence
In this way have they dragged seven from
their fields; which has cRuse6 so much fear
TO be entertained that most of the fields,
have been deserted, where there is the least
probability of their frequenting."
HThe troops here for their special prOiec-
ton cannot leave their camps alone, but 10
bodies and we'll armed, lest they are attacked.

border. The unWise acts Of the govern
ment in managing the affairs Of tho Chero-
KEGS in times past have ben productive Of
vast evil. Il is now proposed to mend mat
ters by dividing the natiOn-dra wing line
of demarcation betwee the two parties
Divide the Democratic and Wing parties Of
the United Statesg Let the government
buy off the malcontents, and let them "a
into ihs States as citizens, (they are worthy
of whites and halC-breeds,) a. d the matter
will be settled, If the government will put
over the India $ as Agent or Commissions
for year or two some man of emsjncnce
The evil does not lie ia the Indians but in
our government, which has mismanaged fol
them. Let the nation look to il. Some,
thing must be done, and that speedily; fol
there is a wildness among these people
which will seek vent in a resort TO massa,

is lord Of the countryt peaceable Indians are
shot down in their fields By an unseen and
unanswerable foe. The two parties do mo-
communicate; both constantly excited b
false reports, That desperation should fol
