Correspondence Of the Leavenworth Times]
LAWRENCE, Jan. L. 1862
Two Cherokees arrived hore last night from the camp
of the loyal old Creek Chief opothcyohoo tho Big
Bend Of the Arkansas.
They wish TO be put into communication with the pro-
per officers Of the government to obtain from them
such direction and assistance the exgences OF their
condition require. Opothleyoholo had been obliged to
leave his home avoid the annoy of the dsloya
halls Breeds who had organized force in tho interest Of
secession.
His camp, which was within the Cherokee Ter.
ritory, was attacked by q force OF $500 Texas
Rangers, with the rebel half-breeds OF both tho
Greeks and Chcrokees, whol had formed q, juno.
tion with tho Texans The Creek Chief had two
thousand Ave hundred Greeks seminoles and wickapoos
and was joined by two hundred and nfty loyal Chero
kees great number of the rebels were killed In the
fight, among whom the Texan General Cooper, aud
Lewis MoIntosh officer Of the rebel Creeks. The loyal
indians lost fourteen men, among whom were six Creeks
and four Cherokees.
These men have much valuable information which
shall down for the information Of the Commissioner
Of Indian Affairs and OF for the Of any other
officer OF the government who may desire IL.
These men brought some kind OF papers with them
from the camp and handed them TO Of the Della
chiefs to be sent to the headquarters Of Major Gen.
era Hunter have not the papers but the loyal
Indians had not single white man among them, IL is
possible the papers may lack much Of regular forms but
yet may be tho genuine expression Of tho minds Of the
parties.
