who had few personal charms" and "litt1e
sE1jghtiness Or viEacity." She was older than
himself, but had money and good social
position. He thus records his conrtship: II

There is no longer any room to doubt
that the halEciyilized tribes who occupv
the Indian Territory west Of Arkansas,
have mace common cause with the rebels,
and are joining McCulloch's army in large
numbers. The Cherokees, the most pop
uious and wealthy Of all these tribes, held
q national council on the 21st Of August,
IN which they overruled their President,
John Ross, and voted to "secede" from
the United States. The Choctaws, Chick
asaws, Creeks, Seminoles, Osaees and
Pawnees had previously cast their lot with
JEFF. Davis, and many Of them had Joined
the rebel army. Slavery prevails to q
greater or 1ees extent among them ali, and
this fact is sufficient to account for thei1
action In the premises, The number ol
saTages infected by the virus Of secession
appears to be about 100000, and they can
probably send 10000 warriors into the

An IInperaAnt Question.
CHICAGO, Sept. 70, 1871.


Editors Chicago Tribune:
Aside from the diecou1agiug effect upon the
patriotism Of the people and the Union cause
in general, does not the action of the Pfesl-
dent in bis anti-F1emont proclamation make
the choice Of the slave clearly and impera-,
lively plain?
No matter how loyal he may be In senti-
nent, nor how feryent1y he may pray for the
success Of the cause Of liberty. No matter
how repugn1nt to his feelings may be the
thought OF shedding tho innocent blood of
his friends aud well u-Wishers in the North. Nor
Of the odium and ignomJ which must attach
to his Fame foreTcr-inasmuch as he was
found in this rebels CAMP. Nevertheless If he
wishes to be free he must accept these conli-
tione Is the law Of the land-and must lrst
openly ard ayowed]y espouse the cause Of the
traitors and' be found "diding and a5txinq II
them with arms in his hands.
In word, (admitting that the slaves dcs;r5
freedom, especially from rebel mssters,) does
not the technical Interpretation Of the Preai-
dents order make it incumbent upon them to
take up arms in the rebel cause, and against
our country?
Does it not Offer them ;aducen1ents to join
the rebel ranks, and once in them can they
easily desert! FREMONT FOREVER.

The STATE Register denies that it has ever
drawn any invidious comparisons between
different sections Of the State as to the
alacrity displayed in filing up the armies
Of the Union, but Says it has "pointed to
"the fdet, which cannot be gainsayed, that
"the Illinois democracy largely exceed

"eeemly,' the TRIBUNE will fnd that it can

the proof cannot be produced, because the
fact does not exist. The Register has been
called on repeatedly, by the Quincy. Whtg

make good its statement or to withdraw it.
It does neither. The public will judge
what respect, what credence, such chatter

KENTUCKY.

A great deal Of fuss is being made by
certain journals about the dire effect that
Fremont's proclamation would have had
on Kentucky, if it had not been counter
manded. The answer to that is, that the
proclamation never applied to Kentucky
at all, nor to the whole Of Missouri. If it
be held that the principle involved in the
proclamation was such that its adoption
N one place implied it's adoption in
all places similarly situated, the reply is,
nlst, that Kentucy was not similarly
situated and second, that it would
have been easy for the President
to have made q special exception Of
Kentucky; and in view Of the loyal atti-
tude OF her people and Legislature, all the
loyal States would have gladly ratified it,
