General Woodward Tells How Greek Warriors Hid in Cypress Brakes About Site of Present City After Jackson Had Defeated Them.

The letter of General Thomas &. Woodward. herewith printed should have a special interest for the citi- zens of Montgomery, for in it he tells of the disposition and the hiding place of the hostile Creeks after Gen. eraI Andrew Jackson had adminis- tered his decisive defeat to them at that after the fight of Jackson and the Indians at Horseshoe Bend Gen. eral Jackson marched his men to the site of old Fort Toulose. at the june tion of the Coosa and TaIlapoosa rivers within eight miles of the city Of Montgomery. While his army was encamped there the hostile Indians were in hiding, most of them about the present site of the city of Mont gcmery.
 In his letter which was addressed to Col. Albert J. Pickett( the famous his- torian General Woodward who lived among the Creeks, and who was look ed upon by them as a comrade, de- scribes the places in which the Indians hid, For instance one band hid in the cane brake opposite the union pas senger station. Another band hid just above Montgomery betewen what is now known as the old Cypress Pond and the Alabama river. Still another
 
 Meigs. Another band of the defeated Greeks took refuge on Catoma Creek, while another hid on an island in the Alabama river,> which still exists a few miles below Montgomery.
 In the pioneer days of Alabama the name of Savannah Jack struck terror to the early settlers. In Florida Osceoia was the bitter and unrelent- ing enemy of the whites until he was captured by the United States govern ment and died in captivity
 General Woodward makes it quite clear that Savannah Jack and Osceola like great many other famous In dian leaders were born and reared within sight of what is now Montgom- cry. The scenes of their birth and their early life Is described in this let ter to Colonel Pickett.
 THE INDIANS FOUGHT
 TO RETAIN THEIR LANDS
 There Is a bit of pathos in General Woodward's description of the causes which led Savannah Jack to turn hos- tile and outlaw. He had inherited from his father. land on Line Creek and on the Montgomery side. His family and his people were living there. When General Jackson had defeated the Indians decisively. act ing for the United States government he demanded from the hostiles the ceding of large part of the Indian lands. The Indians were helpless.

other tribes. broken up by the Creeks and those Western bands connected with them.
 It is yet noticeable among the com mon Cherokees and Shawnees the fact that Uchees and Shawnees would understand each others language about as the Choctaws and Chickasaws do now. The Uchees were like many other tribes, broken up the Creeks and those western bands that were con- nected with them. The Cherokees and Sowanokas were about all the tribes that the Creeks did not subdue. These two tribes were always able to stand their hand with the Muscogees, par ticularly the Sowanokas, until the whites began to encroach upon them from the east. The tribe was then strong and emigrated to the northwest. Many of the Uchees went northwest with the Shawnees. The Uchees con- tended as long as they lived in the whip the Creeks. And in General Floyd's' night fight their leader. Tim poochy Barnard fought much better than the friendly Creeks. With equal numbers they could beat the Creeks at a ball play, for have seen them do 1t often,
 If the Uchees and Shawnees were not originally the same people they had lived so long and so near each other as to become we'll acquainted with each others language. Many years ago became acquainted with a Shawnee Chief in Texas, who headed little band of his people who emigrated to that country shortly after General Harrison defeated them at Tlppecanoe. The Chief spoke pretty good English was very intelligent for an Indian. Was in the Tippecanoe fight and has often related to me the particulars of that affair, as he saw them, at least as he understood them This man has been perhaps better known than any man or any chief of any tribe in the early settlements of Texas, and Ar kansas.

HOSTILE CREEKS HID AROUND { NONTGOMER Y AFTER BATTLE

The land that the whites demanded included Savannah Jacks lands on Line Creek. He ran away with his people, but declared undying war on the whites Massacres and murders on the line between Alabama and Florida were expressions of Jack g deadly hatred of the whites.
 Osceola, the famous leader of the Seminoles figures, too. in this letter of General Woodward. Osceola was perhaps the last of the noted war-like Indians. His leadership was the fast expression of a conquered and dying race. In Indian, the word Seminole. means outlaw The Seminole In- dians were made up largely of hos tile Indians of various towns who had left their former homes and gone into Florida. that they could still keep up the war against the whites. Osceola, as the last great fighting chief was perhaps the best known of the South ern Indians, although he was, in intel- ligence diplomacy and experiences. nothing like the equal of William Weatherford.
 Osceola was born on Eufawbee Creek near the line between Montgom- cry and Macon County. His birth place can be pointed out to this day. And like Savannah Jack he went from Alabama to Florida when Jack sons victorious army camped at the june tion of the Tallapoosa and Coosa just above Montgomery made demands upon the Indians which they could not refuse.-(Editorial note.
 DISPOSITION OF THE
 HOSTILE INDIANS.
 Wheeling, winn ParishI La, Col. Albert J. Pickett,
 Your letter of the 23rd. of February last addressed to me through The Mont gomery Mail, reached me some weeks since and have been too much en- gagged to write, had l been able to write anything worth reading, or to answer your enquiries about the Uchees and their language. All that I can say about them is that they formerly occupied portions of Alabama Georgia and perhaps South Carolina.
 When the Creeks first settled the country they were the neighbors of the Sowanokas, or Shawnees, the -Yama- craws Yemasses and Hitchetas; though they in habits. customs and language were more like the Shawnees than ei- ther of the other three tribes I have mentioned. As. to the gutteral sounds of indescribable pronunciation of words. you are as able to account for 1t as I am.
 That gutteral pronunciation was not confined to the Uchees; it seemed to be peculiar to those tribes that inhabit- ed Alabama Georgia and the Caro1inas. Before the Muscogees settled Alabama and Georgia, from what I recollect of the Catawabas, Apalaches, Cherokees Shawnees, they all more or less have that singular articulation. though not to so great an extent as the Uchee.

The rapid trend of railroad events

ness, at present controlled exclusively
by the Hill lines
This belief has been strengthened. it
is said, by well defined rumors from the
east that the north coast or Strahorn
mystery is nothing more or less
than a Hartman project the identity
or which has been kept a secret for
reasons best known to Hartman and
his inner circle"
Conceding that Hartman is behind
the North Coast, and taking into con-
slderation that Hartman and the st
Paul arrangements are on amicable
terms, and that a connection via the
North Coast between the Oregon Short
Line at Walla Walla and the st. Paul

ect, the deduction has been drawn that
Hartman has found a way to get

Gold Studs in the Laundry

The other day Truth published a let
ter from a gentleman who, being a
bachelor, was in great trouble about
the disappearance of his gold studs
when he sends them to the wash with
his shirts. AS he never gets them
back. he wondered whether they are
dissolved by the powerful acids which
the laundry people use to destroy the
linen.
Possibly some light is thrown on this
problem by a correspondent who sends
Truth page of the Sutherland Echo.
The paragraph from Truth is reprinted
on this page and, strange to relate. the
same page contains traces in various
places of what appear to be patches of
gold hattened out on the paper
The correspondent thinks that pos
sibly these are gold shirt studs which
have gone to the wash. been pulped
with the linen and ultimately worked
up into paper.
