From Cottonwood Falls.

We extract the following from .
private letter just received by Gideon
Elias, Esq, dated Cottonwood Falls,
Kanzas, Feb. IL, 1858.
"There are upwards Of 400 Kaw
Indians within mile Of the Falls.
There have been several traders with
flour and other things; the Indians
have plenty ofmoney and furs. Now
is the time to buy ponies of them, as
it is o hard matter for them to keep
their ponies from starving. We have
had very nice weather nearly all win
ter, though the last few days have been
tolerably cold. The citizens are do
ing smart business towards their
spring work. One man here has fen
ced near $50 acres. He intends to put
in 100 acres corn. There have been
quite large number of prairie claims
taken since you were here. The cit
izens seem to think that Cottonwood
Falls, is The place. Many would like
to get a finger in the pile"

stirling announcement of the death Of Mr.. WHITE
has awakened DO little anxiety in the minds Of our
citizens as to whether the reports are reliable or
not. We hear that two Of Mr.. WHITES brothers and
two others, on hearing the reports of his death,
started at once for Memphis ascertain the facts of
the case" It appears from the Advertiser, that
letter has been received by the Postmaster at that
place from Clarendon, Ark, and signed WIN. Me-
WILLIAMS, stating that the body Of dead man was
found near Clarendon in small hut; that when
found he had some five or six dollars in money; that
apparently be had been dead three four days. and
that upon examinations of his clothes and papers
they we're found marked 81. W. WBITE, Chsttanoo
ga" Nothing is is said in the letter, it appears,

mystery surrounding the affair which We hope to see
cleared up. Monday, the ed inst, he was to make
his appearance before the United States Circuit
Court at Knoxville for trial upon the charges under
which be had been indicted.
