we have at present. Tie chemists of the

MoRE TEREIToRlEs-ISD REpGEsEN-
TATIvEs IN CoNGEE SIT is said by the
Washington correspondent of the New York
Tribune, that the national administration has
sent to the ChickasaW, Choctaw and Cherokee
tribes Of Indians proposition, accom- ancd
by bills drafted in three different tongues, TO
organize the Indian territories below the
southern boundary of Kansas territory, and
give them representation i'll Congress. Tie
wife Of missionary resident among the
Cickasaws, who is now in Washington, furn-
ishcs this information, and states that the
proposition and bills had arrived in the Indi-
an country before she left there, which was in
April last. The Chickasaws were then very
suspicious of the affair, and did not know but
that it was scheme Of the government at
Washington to cheat them out of their lands
According to the letter we quote from, the
proposition embraces a plan for three separate
territorial governments, one extending over
the Cherokee nation, second over the Greeks
and third over the Choctaws and Chicka-
saws. These tribes were to be allowed six
months to consider the matter, and the gov
eminent has made glowing promises of aid
for their territorial organizatoni in case of their
ngrecmcnt.-Thc territory i'll question com
priscs nearly all the unorganized territory of
the United States, and extends from the Red
River to the thirty-sev,nth parallel oflatitude
which is the boundary of Kansas, and from
Arkansas on the East to Texas on the West
The area covered is about equal to that of the
State of Arkansas. The Choctaws and Chick
asaws have been for a number of years con.
solidated under one government of their own
though lattcrly there has been some disagree
ment between them. All of the tribes men.
toned arc considerably advanced in civiliza-
ton, cultivate the Garth rs farmers, have
schools and acad,mics. live like the whites,
and conduct their government affairs in the
same way, by means Of elections by ballot
legislatures and elective chiefs. The Chero.
kee nation is quite promising specimen of a
native Commonwealth.

The NOTE ON TIE FISH BlLL.-A few
weeks ago correspondent at North East: re-
qucstcd us to give the vote on the Act of the
last Legislature, to prevent fishing "during
the months Of june and July, by gill net or
hauling seine within the waters of the Chcsa.
?cake Bay, or its tributaries, lying within
the bounds Of Cecil county or Hartford coun-
ty.' BY reference to the journal of the
House of Delegates, (sce pages 597-s,) We
find that M-ssls Thomas and Foard of Cecil
voted for the Bill: so did all the members
from Hartford. Mr. Kidd did not vote.

BARN BuRST.-We mentioned last week
that barn belonging to Robert Brown, was
burnt down on the lOtl inst, having been
struck by lightning. 1t is now stated that
lightning had nothing to do with burning it.
A charge was brought before magistrate this
week, against VIM. Sherer, the solrin-law of
Brown for setting it on fire, bu; there seemed
to be 10 grounds for it. Shercr was, how
ever, bound over by Brownt TO keep the peace.
We stated the barn was insured for $42O, in
the Mutual Insurance Company Of this coun-
". Mr. Brown paid up his interest on the
9Th inst. tro days previous to the fire, Or there
would have been no insurance. We under.
stand the barn was old and empty, and that
the loss does not equal the insurance.
