From Indian Territory,

CADDo STATION, INDIAN TERRITORY,
October 23d, 1873.
To the Editors Of the Columbia Herald:
Believing that it might be interesting
to many of the readers of your paper to
hear OfJhe abOriginees, who scare hun
dred years ago, in paint and eagle feath-
ers and wild freedom, had their hunting
grounds in the unbrOken solitudes of
Middle Tennessee, l will write you a
sketch of Indian Territory. The march
of the empire has taken ner western way
and the broad stream of emigration has
almost surrounded the indian reserva-
tons; the buckskin hunting-shirt, mo-
casins and leggins have long since given
way to the garb of civilization; and some
of them would, since being civilized, be
almost as big rascals as white people, il
not for their salutary laws.
The ChOctaw, Chickasaw and Ckero-
KEGS possess one of the finest countries
of the Southwest, adorned with fine ior-
ests and rich alluvial praires, and wa>
tered by many rivers like the Arkansas,
Wachita, Canadian, Verdigris, Red Riv-
er, and many others of smaller note.
The population are, many of them, No
madic in their habits, still moving from
place to place, and depending ON their
line herds Of Atakapas and Spanish cat
tie, for living.
CDLA = kSbs
The Indians do not farm much, though
their country brings the finest kind oil
crops of cotton, corn, wheat, oats and
barley with kalf cultivation.
SCHOOLS.
There are q number of schools among
| them. They nearly all read and write
in their own language. There are sever
al academies, Rock Academy being con-
sidered the best. They also have some
Masonic lodges among them.
RELIGION.
There are several churches among
them, divided with only three denomi-
nations: the Metbodists, Presbyt9rians
and Baptists, which latter are by far the
most numerous; and as a remarkable
fact, 1 will add they never take any
peach and honey in theirs, which. sup
pose, is attributed to their stringent
laws.
GOVERNMENT.
Their laws are modelled after tire State
laws somewhat. Their principal chief or
governor is elected; also their council,
corresponding with the Legislature OF
the States. They have no penitentiary.
They formerly hung tor crime worthy
of death, but they now execute by shoOC-
ing; for theft they punish by whipping;
for the second case of horse stealing
they whip severely and frequently crop
their ears No whisky or intoxicating
drink is allowed to be brought here I'M
der the severest penalties. White men
living here have to pay five dollars for
the privilege and have to pay for license
to merchandise and trade.
\ NICE CHAEcE
for young men from Maury county that
want to emigrate and acquire fine farms
tor themselves, here is the place. By
marrying an Indian girl he gets one
hundred and sixty acres of land any
where he desires 10 settle and open &
farm and 100 acres more for each addi-
tional member of his family. The In~
dams are divided in regard to sections
iZing their lands, ABOUT One-third are in
favor Of it and selling to actual settlers.

Death of DRE.s. Lee.
memphis Appeal


We are deeply panied to announce
the death of Mrs. Robert E. Lee, nee
Miss Gusts, and widow of the late
General Lee, of Virginia. The de-
ceased lady was the daughter of
George Washington Parke Certis, and
was in her day one of Virginia's most
accomplished and lovely women. In
her early womanhood, Miss Gusts
was a reigning belle at Washington,
and was noted as much for the cul-
ture of her mind, for her brilliant con-
versational powers, grace and ele-
gance, as for the beauty of her per-
son. Her marriage with the late dis
tinguished Confederate leader, soldier,
statesman, and christian gentleman,
Robert E. Lee, was the elimination
of a romantic attachment, and the
beginning of a lovely and happy we'd
ded life, which, like wine, became RI
pened and enriched as years passed
by. General Lee was one of the
handsomest men of his age, a West
Pointer, talented, honorable, and
brave, and no more noble, accom-
plished, and gallant knight ever wore
a cuirass than was the young officer
Of the United States army, when he
bore away to the altar, from a host
of competitors, the beautiful, reigning
belle. Their married life was a hap
py one, but since the death of Gener-
al Lee the sunshine has left the path
of the lonely widow. Grief at the
death of a beloved daughter, which
took place some two weeks ago,
coupled with the loss of her lifelong
consort, had doubtless much to do in
fastening Mrs. Lees demise. The
whole country, especially the people
of the Southern States, will hear Of
the death of this noble lady with deer
sorrow, for with her life was linked
the grandest and noblest man that
ever won the name of "Illustrious.
