one of these melancholy events which bring

after his installation, has been chilled BY

and that prayed as feryently for its unin-

II is certainly gratifying TO witness the
redemption Of Indian nations, from the ig-
Dorance and superstition which, for an in
definite period, have controlled their every
action. The influences Of true religion and
good morals is effecting r."'acles. There
is now comparatively no blOodshed and vi-
olence, and friendly feeling is cultivated
in the place of hostility. There has been
recently session of the Methodist Con-
ference at Tablaquah, the capital city of
the Cherokee nation, Bishop Payne presid-
ing, and National Council of the Chero-
KEGS has also been is session. This is the
more gratifying, in consideration Of the
high-toned and manly spirit which has been
always evinced by the Cberokees. Their
regularly organized government is strongly
republican, with schools and churches,
and other institutions, consequent upon a
high degree Of civilization. A writer, ga.
L. H." in the Louisville Courier, says:
The great gathering Of the people took
place on the 9TH. The object was to decide
some plan of paying the national debt, now
more than $4,000 The nation is divided
into 8 districts; each district furnishes three
Representatives and two senators. The
members of the Council are elected for two
years, and receive So a day during Council.
The Chief receives $500 annually Treas.
urer same amount. Tablaqush, the cspi.
tai of the nation, is q pretty village, and
contains some very good brick houses and
q large court house Of brick. The present
chief, John Ross, Esq, has occupied his
situation since 1928. His popularity may
be known from the fact that each four years
he is isre.elected over a popular candidate.
His residence is beautiful. Having much
wealth lie keeps his house expeusively.-
About thirty persons eat at his table every
day.
Two large edifces are being finished for q
male and female seminary. These build
lings will cost $4,000 and will be erected
in the most modern style, with large pillars
on three sides. One hundred will be board
ed in each building. The teachers will be
employed at liberal salary-the teachers
paid and the scholars boarded at the ex-
pense of the nation.
For several years the nation has sustain
ed 80 district schools. The district teach
ers receive $685. per year. Stationary
and books are furnished the school by the
nation. At present the nation contemplates
establishing an orphan school. $4,000
would be expended in building. The in
terest of the orphan fund is $1,000 an
nually.
The Cherokees are better educated than
other Indians. They live in better style, and
are exceedingly anxious to come up TO their
white friends in every kind Of improvement.
In few years the Cherokees will have
their representatives in Congress. When
they ask for admittance into the Union,
the country which so freely admits foreign
ers, surely will not reject the enlightened
American Indians. anxiously wait the
coming of the day when they will, beyond
a doubt, ask to bs acknowledged a part Of
the United States. .... ... @

KEoxux PAcKErs.-As the trade between this
city and the foot of the Lower Rapids in the
Upper Mississippi increases in magnitude and
importance, owners and masters of steamers ply
ing between the two points as regular packets,
are compelled by spirit Of competition to offer
superior and more convenient accommodations
for the transportatiOns Of freight and passengers
and nearly every season new and finer boats are
brought out for this purpose. Last year there
we're FIVE, and for portion Of the time, six reg
ular packets running in the trade, performing
two trips per week. During the coming season
there will be fully as many, if not more. The
Kate Kearney, Lucy Bertram, Robert Campbell,
and the new steamer building at Louisville for
Capt. Rudd, and the one at Paducah for Messrs.
Gaty McCune & Glasby, will be among the num-
Der. The former, we understand, will be all that
the trade will require, and fully upto the expec.
tssions Of her friends. The latter is yet on the
stocks, and Of course unnamed the hull !. $50
feet in length, perfect in model; style Of finish
70 be unsurpassed, and the whole to be compile
ted in time for the spring business. The cabin,
are to BE- built st Pittsburgh, and the machinery
10 this city, and the entire cost of the boat is es-
iinated ct $4,000. We hear that several other
ans steamers will be placed in the trade during
the snsdsng season; but six semi-weekly pack
ssswill doubtless be found sufficient for the pres
snt, The Lucy Bertram went on the docks a
day or two since, and both her and the Kate
Kearney win be placed in proper trim before
the season commences.---[R Republican, l7M.
