We are permitted by Mr.. d. J. Estes
to make extracts from private letter
written to him from the Cherokee Ma
ton:
FLINT DISTRICT, March 81, 1872.
Mn. u. J.. EyrEs:-It has been some
time since heard from you and the old
county. All of us that left your place
are we'll. Myself and family have beeu
here in the Cherokee Nation more than
a year, and not one of us has been sick.
This Is the finest country of land / ever
saw. There are thousands of acres
here of Just such land as that which lies
between Mt. Pleasant and Columbia.
We hsye only one Railroad in the Na-
ton, and it runs from st. Louis. Thou
sands of the Cherokees you cannot tell
from white people. The laws here are
pretty much the same as they are in the
States. The Cherokees live just as the
white people do. We have churches OF
all kinds; white preachers and Cherokee
preachers; the full blooded Cherokee
preaching in his own language. If i
were to shoot, steal from, or misuse the
cattle of Cherokee, would be tried
before U. s. Court; If Cherokee were
to do the same to me, he would be tried
by the same court. The schools are all
free, and the English language only is
used. Teachers get fifty dollars per
month, and the schools last all the year,
except two months. This is the greatest
stock range ever saw. Cane is p'enti-
full all the winter. The U. 8. Govern
ment has white men appointed Mar
shals to arrest men in the Indian
Cherokee Nation. The CherOkees are
nice people to get along with. On the
Arkansas river labOrers get twenty-five
dollars per month. Red Hard is making
cotton on the shares, for one halt and
fifty cents per hundred for picking the
other part. JAS. NJ. CLOUD.

about one mile of fence, generously
proposes to give all the rails he does not
need in rebuilding his own fence, to his
unfortunate neighbors up the creek.
Flat Creek was six feet higher than it
was ever known to be before. Yves.
