THE DECAY OF THE CHERoKEEs. From the
Moravian we gather the following interesting
items about the Cherokee Indians:
The tribe numbers 1900. The trllaleS
outnumber the males more than l,Soo. len
years ago the tribe numbered 25,OuU. arr
o,,s causes have operated to produce tins
wonderful dilnnution OF numbers. The Cher
okees now own in fec simple about 1,Uoo,ooo
acres of land, and the United States Govern
ment holds in trust for them l,000,0Oo The
Cherokees are the most enlightened tribe OF
Indians in the West They have made most
commendable progress in civilization. hlany
Of them are finely educated, and are men OF
culture and refinement. Before the war they
had number of good schools and academies,
and the children of the more intelligent and
wealthy we're educated in Eastern colleges
They have a legislative form Of government,
with Senate aud House Of Assembly,; q
Governor and head chief, elected by the people;
courts and Justice officers. Their country IS
divided into different counties. They held
slaves; but in our Western provlnclallSm, that
IL ''played out. Their former slaves are now
treated with consideration and respect, and Will
soon become the principal men OF the tribe, as
they are industrious, and seem to have great
er desire to accumulate property than the ma
tive Indians In proportion to their numbers,
the Cherokees previous to the war were the
vealthiest people on the lace OF the globe
They owned immense herds of cattle, horses,
and hogs. Large shipments Of cattle were an.
nnallv made by them to New Orleans and other
markets. One man owned 10000 head OF cat
tie another $4,000. There were many that
owned 10000, 1000, 1000, 1000, and 800
head of cattle each. .= ...- ."
