Dear Sir-There is considerable stir in this
region Of country, began first and principally
among the Texans, but it spread over on this side
oc the river. and nearly liked 10 have taken all.
When the people began to gather in armed par
ties for trip 10 the prairies all sorts OF reports
were rife about gold in the Wichetaw Mountains.
We could hear of quantities being brought in by
those who had been out exploring. and you may
guess that it created no little stir among us. All
hands were making their arrangements 10 quit the
dull, ordinary pursuits of their present vocation,
and 90 out gold digging. But when the whole
matter came to be explained, things altered a lit
tie. 1t seems that the expedition is gotten up by
certain knowing ones, on speculation, which is as
follows as far as it has been developed. A party
is going cut, first TO chasse the Wichetaw In
dans, who have been numbering and plundering
the citizens of Texas for long time secondly
survey and explore the country about the w ich-
etaw Mountains. 10 make settlements with view
of furnishing Cafornians going cut or coming in,
as these Mountains nearly on the California
trail from the Arkansas; thirdly; they will take
along with them pickaxes, spades, &C., expecting
TO find gold. These are the objects of the expedi-
ton, think, in full. They feel very confident OF
finding gold and silver; and have sent to Na,chi-
toches for an old negro sixty years OF age, who II
is said, worked in these Mountains some twenty
five years ago, and helped 10 get out large quanti-
ties of silver. This negro they mean 10 take out
with them to where he worked in former years.
think it quite likely they will find gold there, but
as yet none has been ever seen that come from
there.
In regard to locating and settling tho lands
there. that they cannot do; for these Mountains
are not in Texas, but lay in the Chckasaw dis
tric Of the Choctaw Nation. The Texas bounda-
ry does not cross Red River until it reaches the
lO0th deg. of longitude. All north and east oil
that is in the Choctaw Nation.
Since the object of the expedition becomes to be
understood, the number begins 10 fall of-love OF
gold is stronger than love of country. J..
