In Beattie's prairie, Cherokee nation, JOSEPH
ROGERS, on the 26th Of December, le45. He
was man whose high talents, uncommon integrity,
and consistent love Of country endeared him to his
people, and the deprivation of whose services at this
important period is felt bitterly by those oppressed
people Of the Cherokee nation known as the treaty
party, to which he belonged. His residence was in
the "Neutral Land" distant part Of the Cherokee
country, far removed from the centre of confusion
and dismay which has so long been lamentedy
celebrated spot in the West; but though 80 far re-
tired, and reposing in the solitude Of his own wild
home he could resist that patriotic feeling which
ever calls forth the best energies Of good to op
pose tyranny in any shape or character. He saw
his friends his warm and tried friends falling to the
dust by midnight and secret murder, and that, too,
for acts which he considered great and lofty. He
saw an old and we'll established government crum-
bling to ruins, and new government, founded in
blood, rising above and upon them, and exercising
despotic sway over portion Of mankind in whose
favor human sympathy is strongly enlisted. He
saw all this, and came forward with a manly cour-
age to defend trampled rights and injured justice
just before his DEATH meeting Of the treaty party
had been called, and, by earnest invitation Of his
friends, he left his home TO attend and take part in
its deliberations; when he arrived within six miles
of old Fort Wayne, Beattie's prairie, the place Of
meeting, he was taken suddenly i'll, and could pro-
coed no farther. Nevertheless the meeting was
held; and all presuming his case to be by no means
serious, he was Immediately chosen by the party as
one Of their delegates to Washington city. A mes
senger was sent to apprise him Of his appon tment,
and that messenger brought back the startling IN
formation that he was dead Joseph Rogers had
numerous friends throughout the United States; and
il is partly for them that desire respectful no
tice Of his death; particularly, however, do we
desire it, BECAUSE where good and brave man dies,
where lofty spirit takes It's fight from earth, the
event demands something more than passing trib-
ute. j. K X.
