TIE Cherokses-A Correction.


Mx. EDrron.-:Ip your notes Of last
week'in references to he Cherokee In
dams, which were in the main correct
and truthful, you incorrectly stated
thai. "The wildest and most reckless
portion of the nation, ARE those Of mixed
Mood. while on the ,pther hand. the
most intellectual. Industrious and thrifty
among them, aye the pure hooded In
dians." Now these are the facts in the
case, that while there are found among
the ..mixed blood Indians many I.fas,
young men," the majority Of this por-
ton Of the Cherokees- are examples Of
prorriety in conduct; and very many Of
them are good and worthy members Of
the Christian Church; possess large
amount Of intellectual culture and gen
eral intelligence; and are = refined and
truly enli ,,hlrned people; and We con-
fdenlly believe will prove truly loyal to
the U. S. Government, and will con-
,inue to quietly rePose with entire salts
faction aud confidence under the Stars

The Fusion Programme.

Below is one of the resolutions on
Mr.. Wilbur's list which he did not read
in the Convention last Saturday, for
the probable reason that he found it
would not pass. 1t clearly shows
that part Of the fusion programme
was to open up fraternal relations
with the fusionists throughout the
State then how cruel in "the peo-
pie" to blast the budding promise of
such happy relations
Resolced, That corresponding committee
OF three be appointed 10y this meeting to cor
respond with committees in other counties for
the purpose of carrying out the principles en-
bodied in these proceedings.
Another of Mr.. Wilbur's resolutions,
which was read, and no further notice
taken of it, provides that:
No man shall he prescribed from official
station solely on the ground of his political an
tccedents, provided he be now heart and soul
true patriot, fully competent, trustworthy
and an uncompromising friend Of the Union
In other words, let the Democrats
have the Offices. Strange, Black Re.
publicans will not let their "patri-
otism predominant over their politics "
in such matters

! following language Your regiment
is accepted with the distinct under
standing that the Department will re-
woke the commissions Of all officers
who may not prove competent for
command.
Prof. Lowe made n balloon recon-
noissancc, on the 25th, near Falls
Church, and reports that the enemy
are largely cncampcd between Fairfax
and Centrcvillc. In coming down he
landed between the Cncmy'S plckct8
and ours and came near being caught.
A letter received in Washington
from Richmond says, mortality among
the rebels was greater than on our
side. 1t is now asserted that our loss
will not exceed 700.
Six complete batteries of artillery
have arrived in Washington in one
day. The army appears to be in cX-
cellcnt spirits. The regiments are
mostly re-establishcd in their former
camps. Sixty thousand troops have
been offered the Government since the
battle of Bulls Run, many of whom
are of the best material, and have seen
European service.

Rebel Revelations.

A wealthy Nirginian, residing n
few miles from Manassas Junction
witnessed the battle Sunday, and de
scribcs the aspect Of the Federal
troops as daring and brave in every
respect. lie states that the rebel loss
is between three and four thousand.
The Hack Horse cavalry, the crack
Regiment Of Virginia, was most ter
ribly cut up, only two hundred out Of
the regiment being saved. lie says
it was most fortunate thing that we
did not drive the rebels beyond Ma
nassas, for when within two miles of
the rear at the Junction the ground
for many acres is mined in the most
artistic manner ard tons of gunpow-
der placed there. He thinks that the
Government is not aware of the ex-
tent of the rebel preparations to de-
stroy our troops. Upwards Of 1880
negroes were employed to work on
the entertainments at Manassas, and
about the same number arc at work on
those at Richmond. Gen Lee was
shot at Manassas during the battle,
and is now at Richmond.
Richmond is surrounded by mines
like those at Manassas. If the rebels
find that the Union men are going to
take it, the city will be blown up.
Had the Federal forces got beyond
Manassas Sunday, Bcaurcgard admits
that the rebel cause would have been
lost forever.
An impression prevails at the South
that the North has no money and can
not get any. The rebels are under
the dclusion that the heavy sums owed
the North by the South will be the
means of making us bankrupt, and
that in less than year the North will
cave in. There arc two regiments of
wcll-drillcd negroes at Richmond.
The bitterness of feeling at the South
against the North is described as most
terrible.

Canine Sagacity.

One of the richest incidents conncc-
ted with the Convention last Saturday,
was one in which the Watchdog of
the County Treasurcr's Office played a
conspicuous part. The Secretary,
Gaylord, had twice read the second
resolution wrong, substituting and for
"or" after the word organizations. !"
He was privately requested to correct
his mistake, but refused, when the at
tcntion of the meeting was called to
it by Mr.. Huntley, DR.. Smith and 9th
crs. Mr.. Huntley stepped forward to
take the resolutions, when the Secreta-
ry thrust them behind him with one
hand and shook the other in Treasurer
Huntley's face, and dared Mr.. II. to
charge that he would practice deccp-
ton. The watch dog, lying quietly
upon the floor, took notice Of the in
suit, After the meeting, the Secretary
had business at the Treasurer's Office,
when, on entering the door, his prog
ress was suddenly impcdcd by the
dog selling the back part of his trow-
sers The reader will perceive where
the laugh comes in when told that the
Secretary has q hankering for the
Office Of Treasurer, but will not be
likely to get his hand into the Coun-
tvs strong box" so long as that
" Black Republican bulldog" keeps
watch Of it.

among them those who had suffered
amPutation.
On Saturday night last we had at
least 100000 troops on the line Of the
Potomac, extending from Alexandria
to lIarpcr's Ferry, all burning to at

REBEL REPORT.
A special despatch to the Louisville
Courier, dated Lynchburg 23d, says
the rebels captured 6S cannon, $4,000
stand Of arms, 10000 horses and all
the stores and provisions, valued at
81, 100000. \ buggy, marked Gene
raj Scott, captured. The rebel loss is
reported to be $50 killed, 1000 wound
ed. The 4th Alabama Regiment sul-
tered severely, as did Wade uIampton's
Legion. Another despatch says the
Confederate loss is 1000, and the Fed
erals, Is, 900 killed. Two members of
Congress are taken prisoners.

The Rebel Congress.

The Congress Of the Southern Com
fcccracy met in Richmond on the Goth
ult. 1t is reported that the members
of the rebel congress anticipate long
session, devoted to settling many diff
ficult matters of the Confederacy,"
and that they do not anticipate any
interruption. 1t is little matter what
their expectations may be, as it is the
duty and intention of our army to cut
short their deliberations, and we have
no doubt they will do it. We are
mistaken it that conclavc shall have
been even fortnight in session be-
fore the alternative to fight or run
will have been thrust in the face Of
every individual member. The con-
test for the possession of the Seccs-
sion Capital may be fierce and bloody,
and probably will be, but it must be
wrcsted from the traitors and restor-
ed to its ancient attitude of allegi-
age.
jeff. Davis's message calls atten-
ton to the causes which formed the
"Confederacy, and says, " it is now
only necessary to call attention to
such facts as have occurred during
the recess, and to matters in connccc-
ton with the public defence" He
congratulates his Congress on the ac-
ccssions to the Confederacy Of the
free and equal sovereign States"
mentioning several States, and says,
ait was deemed advisable to remove
the several departments and archives
to Richmond, to which place Congress
has already been removed as the seat
Of Government.
jeff. says that after the adjourn
ment of his Montgomery congress the
aggressive movements of the enemy
required prompt and energetic action.
The accumulation of forces on the
Potomac demonstrated that their ef-
forts were directed against Virginia,
and from no point could measures for
her defence and protection be SO ELI
GENTLY directed as from his own capt.
tai. The rapid progress of the last
few months has stripped of the veil
behind which the true policy and pur-
poses of the Lincoln Government
were previously concealed. The mes
sage of their President, the action Of
their Congress at the present session,
confesses the intention Of subjugating
the seeding States by war, the folly
Of which is equalled only by its wick
edness a war by which it is impos-
siblo to attain the proposed result.
Fortunately for the truth of histo-
ny, Lincoln's message minutel ~ details
the attempt to reinforce Fort Pickens
in violation of the armistice, of which
he confcsses he had been informed by
rumors.
The mission Of Mr.. Taylor, who re-
Gently visited Washington under q
flag of truce, was to propose an ex-
change for tho prisoners taken on the
privatecr Savannah, and to inform
Lincoln of the determined purpose to
check all barbaritics on prisoners of
war by such retaliation as is mcnaced,
and etlectually put an end to such
practices. Lincoln promised q reply,
but none has yet been received.

Capt. CoOn'S Cavalry Company.

Capt. Coou's Company OF Horse
Guards, en- route for Burlington, halted
at Marble Rock on the 2Sth inst The
Captain and men presented very res
olutc and determined appearance; if
possible, more 50 than any other COM
pany of soldiers that we have had
the pleasure of seeing and if we can
form any opinion by the counten-
ances of persons of the secret emo
tions of their hearts, we must, in the
case Of Capt. Coon and his company,
come to the conclusion that they arc
true and loyal citizens, and determin-
cd that to the utmost of their ability,
the "Stars and Stripes shall forever
wave DER the home Of tho free and
the traitors grave" Our flag,
which for the occasion had been
hoisted heavcnward, was warmly and
enthusiastically chccred by the Cap
tain and his men, after which refresh
ments were very literally distributed
to the company and their stccds. Mr.
and Mrs. Doctor kimball, of Rockford,
in warm and aflectionatc addresses,
communicated to them the feelings of
the citizens of Rockford and Marble
Rock, after which, in response, three
long and loud cheers were given for
the nation, its flag, and its citizens.
The company departed and are now
on their way to victory or death !;
if death, it will be with their backs to
the field and their feet to the rebels.
