Mr. EDIToR:-For the qualification of those ci-
tizens of your country who ha We friends in this
company, on their way to the land of GoId.''
have snaIched few moments from camp duties
to announce the safe progress for ninety miles
from Tahlequah. -
The company met, according to notification, on
the 2lst but did no business until the 23rd. The
company are officered by very excellent men,
though the Cherokees did not participate in the
choice of the same-they not having arrived at
the rendezvous until Monday. Lewis Evans, Of
Evansville was elected Captain. Thomas Tyner,
of Washington Co., 1st Lieutenant, P. Mankin,
2nd do. Jas. S. Eann, Secretary, Martin Scrimp-
sher, Conmissary.
The company left the rendezvous, on the 24th.
The first days travel towing to the heavy
fall of rain a few days previous,) very dfic uIt
The company had quite foretaste of what
they will have 10 encounter and overcome before
they arrive at the auriferous mountains of the
" Sawyer Narada." Boging down, and prising
out of wagons, was the business of the first DAY.
Since, have travelled and gotten along with
less miring down, making short drives-whch
did 10 enable a wagon 10 join the caravan which
did not arrive at the rendezvous in time to leave
with the company. We are all together now
and from the appearance of the face of the coun-
try and from reports have had since we ar
rived here. of contemplated route. the ..yellow
fever Irih of lhe company having broken
out afresh, and the glittering fortunes which they
are determined to accumulate, are, now
snulIed up on the western Prairies. The Laws
which regulate. and by which the company are
governed, are few, but good-though susceptible
of Improvement. .-.. ' 1888
The Cherokee portion of the company are
thrown into Division together, and that heredI-
tarv disposition OF cianIshness, derived from their
ancestry is distinctly shown now.
They are determined TO "s,ck together" through
veal woe. .-..- s.
Although they have Ieft their country for few
months. nevertheless the fire of patriotic love
burns with continued intensity of fervour for the
future welfare, progress, and onward destiny of
their country. .

He who has high forehead, Will nave his eyes
under it, and will live all the days of his life.
He who has long nose, will have the more TO
blow and the better TO handle.
He that is bald will have no hair-but if he
happens to have any, it will not be on the bald
place.
Women who have curious eyebrows will IN a II
likelihood have eye-Iashes under them-and will
be beloved, if any takes liking 10 them.
