CAROLINA CHEROKEES.

The Eastern band Of Cherokees has
its own peculiar government, the head
being Chief Smith, or Tsa-la-te-he. He
is, by virtue Of his office, entitled to
salary of 500, but this sum has never
been paid him by his people. He is Al
years of age, was born in Cherokee
county. Once year the people of the
Eastern band assemble at Yellow Hill,
the seat of the Indian Government, in
Swain county. Chief Smith presides at
these grand councils. They are inter
csting ceremonials, though trlile
strange, partaking both of Legislative
assembly and of that Of the purely prim-
tive "pow-wow of the noble red man.
About one-third Of the Indians of the
proper sex and age are voters, and take
lively interest in political matters.
/ The others do not vote and are apathctic
on questions of the day. The subject Cd
education has recently begun to be
| much discussed among them. Hereto
, fore, when left To their Own resources,
/ they have paid hut little attention To-
educational matters. A fund Of So, 600
lies in Washington, in charge of the In
dian Commissioner, to their credit.
There are some hundreds of Chero-
krcs and few Catawbas and Greeks in
the extreme northern portion Of Gcor-
sia. hut these never attend the councils
of the Eastern band III North Carolina,
nor are they under the rule of Chief
, Smith. The Indians are, as is ever their
wont, extremely simple in their habits.
They live in log houses mainly and dress
IN the plain costume of the mountain
GERS. Gone are the plumes OF eagles
feathers. the necklace of bears claws,
while war-paint and tomahawk nre II,
much things of the past rs coats Of mail
or maces are us. The only Indication
of that passionate love for personal
a,iornment which is characteristic of the
savage is found i'll the gay turhanS worn
occasionally by some aged member OF
the tribe. The health of the Indians Is
III the main good, and i'll that pure ali
and glorious woodland where they dwell
should be perfect. But occasionally dis
eases become epidemic, and in 1861
smallpox played havoc with them. Last
