We publish to clay Professor It’s letter and two series of questions on the language and history of the Tsalagi Nation. Those On the language can be easily answered, and we hope to receive satisfactory commu nication on the subject from some one of bur correspondents. In regard to trudi- tionSj we feel doubtful whether any can be collected which will shed any new light on our dark history, particularly as far back as 1000 years. Traditions are becoming unpopular, and there are now but few aged persons amongst us who regard them as our forefathers did. W^e have been desirous of obtaining them for the columns of our pa- . per—if they do not affoi’d any new light, they may afford some amusement. We will be thankful to oqr correspondents if they will send us any for insertion. Direct answers to Pro. R’s questions on the histo ry of the Tsalagi Nation will be thankfully Received. - It has been extremely wafm of late, and .the crops which a few days ago appeared so very promising, are now suffering for want of rain. We are happy td learn that there is eve ry prospect of punctual and general at tendance at each of the precincts in this District, on our election day, which is to be next Monday. Preparatory meet ings have been held in Doosewaytee, Pine- log, and other places. This augurs well for the “ success of our new Constitution,” There appears to be a want of public spirit in some of our leading an'd wealthy citizens. Though they possess the means of doing much good, by encouraging edu cation, and the general improvement of the Nation they seem to stand aloof. This is our failing as a people, and we arc sorry to 5Ay that some of the offices of our govern ment have been and are filled by persons of this description. From such leaders, who pay more regard to the acquisition of wealth than the good and interest of their country, we have no reason to expect any solid and permanent advantage. Is not our remark correct when it is considered that many (and some who were members of the Legis lative body which established the press) possessing all requisite means, uJill not sub scribe for the Cherokee Phoenix, which c osts only two dollars and fifty cents a year; Who Will encourage and uphold us, when our own citizens ami patrons (they ill de serve the name) will not give us a helping hand? While we complain of the coldness and inactive patriotism of some, we take pleas ure in rendering, to a larger portion of our leading men, their proper and well merit ed due. Under the direction of such men, education will flourish, our civy Jtfa- vcka will not be permitted to languish and our infant institutions will be protect ed. Through their exertions we hope to see established in this place, a National School, where our youths will enjoy great er advantages than in the common Schools —where our future chiefs—our judges, and the guardians of our religious, moral and political interests will be reared.— Such an institution is greatly needed, and were it not that the public funds of the Nation are so small, necessary buildings would ere this have been commenced. We invite the attention of our citizens to this important subject. Now is the time when judicious efforts for the improvement of the Cherokees cannot go unrewarded, and pass away without any desirable effects. The condition in which the nations of Europe stand in relation to each other at the present time, may be a subject of interesting speculation, especially to him who is disposed to pry into fu turity. The real power of Europe is in but few hands. Russia, Austria, France, and Prussia, as long as they hold onto the Holy Alliance, can com mand the Continent, and Great Britain possess the supreme controul upon the water. The smaller powers are Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Spain, Portugal, the Swiss Republics, Savoy, Piedmont, Naples, and the I- talian States. These nations are weak, & so distributed, that they are in great measure unable to help each other, in case of necessity, and at the same time are exposed to lie subdued, and annexed to the more powerful states, whenever the latter may choose to dispose of them. So pre dominant are the ruling powers, that is the members of the Holy Alliance, that we scarcely hear the others named except when some trading vessel arrives from a port from one of them. Should Russia, Austria and Prussia, think it expedient to overrun Sweden, Denmark, and Holland, on the one side, or Turkey, Naples, the rest of Italy, and Switzerland on the other, the task would be im easy one, and tbev might portion their weaker neigh bours among themselves with as much ease, and probably more, than they formerly divided Poland. Russia has extended her conquests far to the east ward. What shall prevent her, at some future day, from turning her course in an opposite direction, and ta king possession of the countries bord ering upon the Baltic, & commanding the passage into the northern sea? Austria was for a long period the deadly foe of the Swiss Republics, and she has for many years cast a wishful eye upon the coast of Italy, and the Gulph of Venice. By obtain ing the command of the Adriatic Sea, and the neighbouring regions of Naples and Italy, she would at once become a maritime nation, and in process of time might prove to be strong upon the ocean, as well as powerful upon the land. France has always kept her eye upon Spain, and maintained an important influence in all her concerns: and she might be equally influential in Portugal, if the connection between that nation and Great Britain should be dissolved—an event, apparently, not very improbable. Prussia lies in the immediate neighbourhood of Hol land, and with a little friendly assist ance from Austria and Russia, might easily seize upon the Netherlands, and annex them to her own dominions, and in that way make herself also a mari time power, ff to these we add, the conquest of Turkey by the Russians, and the removal of all the obstructions Iroin the Black Sea to the Mediterra nean, we should complete a new geo graphical division of Europe, and di vide the whole of the territory of that quarter of the globe under four gigan tic sovereignties, uncontrolled and un controllable by any ottier earihly pow er, so long as they should keep up their union, and abide by the princi ples of their Holy Confederation. This is certainly fanciful, and per haps extravagant. We are not sta ting what is probable, but what is { tossible. Formerly, before the po- itical systems of Europe were changed, and it was essential to the safety of the larger powers to uphold the smaller, the ideas we have sug gested would have been wild and im practicable. But it is a subject of serious consideration, that such a dis-1 tribution of the small nations might be made, if the large ones should deem it expedient. The large states are now bound together by a league, from which the small are fully excluded.— Who can foretel what may hereafter take place under such a combination? •Afbio York Jldvertiser. Serious disturbance with the In dians.—We are sorry to learn, by sev eral gentlemen from the Pest of Ar kansas, that a serious disturbance has recently arisen between some of the citizens of that place and a party of Indians, who were encamped in that vicinity, which unfortunately resulted in the death of two Choctaws, who were of the parly. The particulars, as related to us, are briefly these: The Indians had procured a quantity of Whiskey, which they carried to a camp, on the South side of the Ark ansas, opposite the town, where they became exceedingly drunk, and were very troublesome to a Frenchman, near whom they had encamped. In consequence of some threats which they made, he became alarmed, and went over to the Post, for assistance. A number of the citizens voluntarily returned with him for the purpose of affording him protection; and soon af ter they reached there, from some cause not known to us, two Choctaw Indians made an attack on Mr. Rich mond Peeler, with their knives. One of them was shot down by him, and killed on the spot, and the other was knocked down and secured by Mr, Maxwell. These two were the only Choctaw r s who were of the party of thirty or forty w r arriors of that nation encamped within about twenty miles of the spot, the surviving Indian was confined and placed under the guard of two men -Peeler and a Frenchman named Francis Lafargue—with a view of preventing him from communica ting the news of the death of his com panion to the main party, before the people could have time collect in suf ficient numbers to protect themselves from any retaliation that might be at tempted by them. This Indian was car ried across the river in the course of the night, & next morning was found dead—with his hands tied; and his head shockingly cut with an axe or hatchet—to all appearance most inhu manly murdered. The perpetrators of the deed are not known, though it is suspected that several were con cerned in it. Peeler and Lafargue were arrested and committed by Eli J. Lewis, Esq. ; but were subsequent ly brought before Judge Hall, on a writ of .habeas corpus and admitted to bail, for their appearance at the next Superior Court, to answer such charge as might be exhibited against them at that term. Serious apprehensions, w r e under stand, are entertained by the citizens of that place, that the Choctaw s will attempt to avenge the death of the two.Indians; and guards have been kept out every night for some time past, to give the alarm on the least approach of danger.* This disturbance, we hope, will have the effect of causing the remov al of all the numerous strolling parties of Indians, who are constantly prowling through the Territory, killing up the game, and committing petty depreda tions on the property of our citizens. It ought also to have the effect of bringing to punishment those who, for a little paltry lucre, are in the constant habit of selling spiritous liquors to the Indians, and thereby jeopardizing their own and their neighbor’s lives. They are the principal instigators of these disturbances; and our grand jurors and all good citizens, ought to take every lawful means to cause the laws pro hibiting illicit trade with the Indians to be rigidly enforced against them. A few examples would have a good effect in correcting this glaring and growing eviK—Gaz. * The postrider on the route to Monroe C. H. informs us that he met a gentleman, a lew days ago, who was direct from the Choctaw village on the Bayou Bartholo mew, and was informed by him* that the Choctaws were all removing from thence’ to Red River, and that they had no inten tion of avengihg the death of their two brethren. From the Newburg Index. • STEAMBOAT TRAVELLING. On Tuesday of last week, two gen tlemen of Newburg, having business in New York and Albany, left here a- bout 8 o’clock in the evening, and were in New-York in the morning.— After attending to their business un til five in the afternoon, they went on board the New Philadelphia, and ar rived at Albany by 6 o’clock next morning. They (here attended to their business until 5 in the afternoon, when they took passage on board the same boat and arrived at the village at 12 o’clock at night, having ibeeu absent 54 hours, and in that time spent a day in New York, a day in Albany, and travelled 800 miles.— The travelling expenses of each in dividual amounted to £3 25; a per formance for cheapness and expedi tion, we believe, altogether uupar- rallelcd in the history of travelling. Jl Tumour.—Doctor W. F. Coop er, of Sempronius, N. Y. has lately taken from the back of Joshua Vanau- kin, ol that town, a tumour, measur ing in circumference thirty-nine inch es, and weighing nineteen pounds and four ounces. The operation was per formed in three and a half minutes.— This protuberance was situated be tween the hip and shoulder blade, bordering on the right side—it was first discovered twenty-seven 3'ears ago, then very small, since which time it has been constantly increasing; at first very gradually, but lately with great rapidity, increasing one half in tour years. It is said the wound is now doing well, and the patient is in a fair way to recover.-—Koch. Jilbum. Solar Microscope.—Wc visited Mr. Nolen’s exhibition of the Solar Micro scope, at the corner of Seventh and Chesnut-streets, on Friday afternoon; and found him honored with a large company of young ladies, to whom lie Avas unfolding the wonders of nature to their great admiration—especially when they saw a piece of very fine lace assume the appearance of grat ings, with bars four or live inches in diameter. A very fine cambric needle, appear ed something like an awning post; and the dust from a fig, assumed life and animation, that were truly astonishing. The forms that this dust took, were very like the five banded armadillo of South America, from 10 to 15 inches in length; and they showed their strength and agility in a sharp contest for the chief seat on the point of a cambric needle, for which they con tended with a most edifying earnest ness. A few drops of vinegar contained an eel of a most magnificent size—enough to serve a moderate eater through lent. The erystalization of salts, was the most beautiful part of the exhibition —and of these, the Sal-Amoniac and the Muriate of Barytes, were most at tractive. This part of the exhibition is particularly worthy the attention of the citizens, and cannot fail of being both instructive and amusing. Philad. Gaz. Lmsus Natural—A Royal George peach tree, cultivated in the garden of the Rev. Mr. Howrnan, of Beccles produced, last season, rather a large fruit, three parts of Avhich were peach and one part nectarine, quite distinct in appearance as well as in flavour. Gardeners Mag.
