from Cross Tinbcrs, in Arkansas, published
in the Little Rock Banner Of the 29Ih ult.,
contains the following passage The ln
dams begin to assume savage appearance
about here, they al! paint and wear scalp
locks; We met two the other day almost en-
trclv naked, with the exception OF Blank
C, aud a small piece of cloth about their IONS;
thev were armed with bows and arrows,
rode with sandals, and in lieu of bride
had a piece of rope about the lower Jaw oi
the horse, they belonged to the WachIla
tribe. About two miles beyond Little River
VIC met the celebrated Seminole chief
Wild Cat, with twelve warriors, all painted
and m their war dress /; they had plenty of
whskev which sold for twenty cents per
pint. and were OF course very drunk. Old

a cuuucnancc that would do honor to an
INN of salan. His neck. wrists, arms and
waist, were cnclrclcd with silver plates gwen
him at Washington, and engraved with his
name. The current report here Is. that he
is in league with the Camanches, and ap.
pcaranccS seem to favor it. A few weeks
arp he was at Fort Smith with some ol his
pcn;lc. and there bought quantity nf gun

! and is now on his way To the Grand PrarIcS;
what his real intentions are is not known,
! but think That he intended nothing good.
{ One thing is certain. as all the report, rs con-
! firm, that the Camanchrs aud other tribes
arc on the offensive. Game here is very
scarce. should almost say extinct, If yon cx-
ccpt some squirrels and few deer VIC have
