Killing is going on lively IN the
Cherokee Nation. That is one So
luton Of the Indian question,
though not a aplesant one to con.
template.
Every day presses this subject
on the public mind. Something
must be done, and done speedily,
to save the people from utter ruin.
The best opinion we have heard
and from one who knows the sl,ua.
TOMS that congress should do
for these people whatever is need
tut, without asking their consent.
The opposition factions can agree
on nothing; and if they could, not
one IN ten could understand the
issue, CT have confidence in the
success of anything. That being
the case, and no possibility of
changing it in any reasonable time,
and the people suffering all the
mlseries ofanarchy, the general gov.
eminent ought fearlcssly to apply
a remedy. We have always thought
that the government and govern
ment agents, should be held re-
sponsible for much of the evil. But
it is no timo now to enquire how 1t
happened.-W hat is wanted is q

TIE storm last Tuesday night,
which came up so suddenly, was
iraught with many ludicrous and
amusing incidents, the most re-
markable of which was enacted at
the Union Church. The Rev. l..
b. Castor, Of Memphis, occupied
tho Pulpit and was docply absorb.
ed in his sermon, when the lorna
do struck the building, which made
it shake to It's very foundation.
Tho ladies, as though with precon-
certed action, bounded from their
seats like rubber balls, and rushed
frantically tor the door. Rev. W,
Il. + who sat near the pul pit
scooted out through an open win.
dow, followed by his lady, and the
services suddenly came to a close
the Minister with mouth open and
arms outstretched, as in TIE act OF
continuing his discourse, his face p
perfect picture of establishment, at
the confusion and Consideration be-
fore him. The tom ensemble present
ing a scene seldom witnessed. All
were solicitous for the safety OF
husbands, wives or children left at
home, and it WAS with difficulty
that those with cooler and wiser
judgement, could restrain them
from rushing out into the furious
storm. With our usual e9uanimity
we sat unconsciously oblivious OF
the uproar and confusion about us,
secretly hoping that some fair and
fragile form would faint and drop
in our arms, and end the whole
with first class sensation.
