We' regret that the Rev. Mr. Stringlield should give his influence in circulating the assertion above quoted. It is a mere fabri cation! intended we fear, to effect the cir culation of our paper. He should have considered that a charge is easier made than proved. It may be proper to state to our readers the circumstances which have produced the implication in question. In the 14th No. of our paper, we inserted a communication of the Rev. Nicholas D. Scales, formerly Methodist Missionary in this nation. As we considered him in error, we took the li berty of adding a few remarks to his com* munication. This conduct of ours was highly disapproved by the Rev. Gentle man, in a letter addressed to us. Explana tion was made by us in the 17th No. of our paper, which we request our readers to pe ruse. Soon after we received a long com munication from the Gentleman, which we thought exhibited too much of sectarian spirit, and having no desire to engage in a- ny controversy, we rejected it, and return ed it to the author. ‘ This communication was afterwards sent to the Rev.

JVEW ECHOTA: Stringlield Editor, of the Holston Messen ger, a Methodist Magazine printed in Knoxville, Tennessee, and published by him with the remark, “that paper, [the Cherokee Phoenix] we learn is mostly un der the influence of a Northern Missionary, who managers it in subserviency to the costly establishments in the Cherokee Na tion.” Who communicated this assertion to the Editor of the Messenger, we are not solicitous to know, all we have to do is to declare it untrue, and challenge the author to prove his declaration.. It has already been stated to the public that the Phoenix was under Cherokee in fluence. It has never been, nor was it ev er intended to be, under the influence of a- ny Missionary or White man. We are extremely sorry that th® charge has origi nated from a quarter not anticipated by us. Ed. Cukr. Ph<e. WliDNESDAV, NOV. 12, 1828. Mr. Bouoijott: I notice in the September nimber of the Holston Messenger, the following editorial statement. “That paper, [the Che rokee Phoenix,] we learn, is mostly under the influence of a northern mis sionary; who manages it in subservien cy to the costly establishments in the Cherokee Nation. 55 I suppose 1 am the only person who can possibly be intended by the “northern missionary,” who “manages” your paper. Your own denial of such an assertion might be sufficient, but I have thought it might not be improper for me also, be ing thus implicated, simply to oppose my own assertion, united with yours, to that of an Editor, who certainly cannot know. I am well aware that the circumstance of the Editor of the Cherokee Phoenix being associated with me as my assistant in translating, and in the study of the Cherokee lan guage, and still more the circum stance of my rendering to him occa sional assistance, might excite jealous- y; and I have theretore been particu larly careful to have an answer always ready to any' insinuation, which may be made* You will bear witness to the truth of the following statement have never, in any single instance, giv en or intimated my opinion to the edi tor of the Phoenix, in regard to the in sertion or rejection of any Communi cation whatever, designed for itiser tion in that paper. 1 have never sug gested a single remark of the Editor of the Phoenix, in regard to any topic connected with missionary establish ments, or sectarian interests or differ onces of opinion. I have never writ ten or dictated one sentence, which has appeared under the editorial head except the few sentences in No. 35 published during the late sickness of the Editor, and, I believe a single note of one sentence, entirely uncon nected with religious or political con troversy, inserted with his approba tion. There is, perhaps, no occasion for me to add any thing, except to dis character and to request the Editor of the Hoi ston Messenger to insert this cornrnu nication. SAML. A. WORCESTER. New-Echota, Nov. 6, 1828. The above statements are strictly cor rect, and as the Editor of the Messenger seems to he disposed to listen to both sides of the question, we hope he will, in justice to us, insert our unequivocal denial of the implication contained in his paper. The charge is a serious one, for it is intended to effect the veracity of the Editor of the Ph«e- nix^nd the General Council under vvhttfw ARKANSAS #H£*ROKEES. Extract of a letter from William Thorn ton, to the Editor of the Phoenix, dated, Dwight, Cherokee Nation, Arkansas, Sept. 28, 1828. I understand that tvvo of our people are in your nation hunting emigrants to this nation—they are to come with out lands, we dont approve of this— and I hope that they will not be coun tenanced. That part of the Delega tion that has arrived are all broke and silenced forever, and the others will fare the same way, I have a letter written (now to put in mail) by the Sub. Agent, at the request of the greater part of the Nation, saying that the delegation had no instructions to make such a Treaty, and they have acted with fraud and deception, therefore they consider the trea ty made void until a further under standing. They have also asked per mission for another Delegation to go on, in order that they may have a fair understanding with the United States. Mr. Bouoinott—Much has re cently been said respecting the injury of stock from a fly which is supposed lately to have appeared in this part of the country. I have had cattle and swine affected with them, and have seen one horse badly affected. There is no doubt respecting the appearance of“the fly.. It is a little larger than the common green fly and its body par tially covered with down or hair.— Three years ago last August I saw ap parently the same fly depositing its young on a piece of chicken which had been cooked eighteen hours, while several persons were taking some re freshment, some distance from any human habitation. About six years ago I saw the same fly engaged on a piece of, perfectly sweet, bacon be fore it cooled after cooking. In both instances the young crawled immedi ately. When the young are deposited in a wound they grow with amazing rapi dity, and soon cause a constant oozing of blood from the wound—I have made use of the Spirits Turpentine, and Camphor; Doth of which kill the mag gots which came in contact with them. But the best remedy I have found is a strong infusion of elder leaves, which ought to be applied regularly and fnth fully at least twice a day to the in fected part. This course has in eve ry case I have seen effected a cure m a few days. E. B.

Liugan, Capt, Fairbanks, of Alexandria.—Capt. Join Floyd, of the ^h. Catharine, Chory. stone, who arrived at East River, 5th inst. in 15 days from Martinique, has politely favoured us with the foHow* ing particulars of the loss of that ship, which information lie derived from Capt. Fairbanks. The G. L. sailed from Savannah, Ga. on the 23d of July, bound to St. Pierres, Mart, and from the,30th of that month until th% 23d August, they experienced calms, on which day they got a breeze front the E. On the 29th, in laL 21, 10, N. Ion. 59, 30, W. they experienced a very severe gale, which compelled them to heave to under close reefed maintopsail; the gale increasing ton hurricane, the maintopsail xvas split, xvhen they immediately set the mizen storm staysail, which at 8 P. M. was also split; and shortly after, being un der bare poles, carried away the spanker boom. The mast was order ed to be cut away in order to get the ship before the wind, but before it could be done she paid off, capsized and filled. The crew clung to the bottom, and the ship soon after right ing, with masts, bowsprit, bulwarks and rudder entirely swept away, and the sea making a fair breach over hep, they afterxvards succeeded in getting on deck, and lashed themselves to the taffrail, where they remained fot three days, when the weather mode rated sufficiently for them to search for provisions and xvater, being almost exhausted, but without effect, as eve- ery tiling W'as washed from the hold. On the 7th ©f Sept, being then 9 days on the xvreck they w ere boarded by Capt. Hall, of the brig Congress, of and from Boston bound to St. Pierres, who took off the survivors, (11 in number) tu'o of w'hom died on the next day, and were taken to St. Pier- res. Capt Fairbanks expressed hinv self particularly indebted to CapWin Hall and Mr. Sansen, a passenger on board the C. for their kind and humane attention to himself and crexv, whilst on board his brig. Capt. Fairbanks situation upon his arrival at St. Pierres, was truly de* plorable. Being^unacquainted, with out money or clothes, no Consul or A» geut for the United States Govern ment there, and but few American vessels in port, he could depend upon no other person but the gentleman a* boss named. They supplied all their wants, fed his crew', and Mr. Sanson upon their arrival at St. Pierres pro cured medical assistance for them, some of whom were unable to w r alk without assistance and succeeded by great exertions in getting them into the Hospital, at his own expense. Mr. John M. Dior.es, Commission Merchaut at St. Pierres, very hu manely provided the crew with a suit of clothes for each of them, and g«ve them some money. The crew origin* ally consisted of 15, but was reduced by their extreme sufferings to 9, w ht> together with the captain, were im proving in health when Capt. Floyd left them 19th ult. Capt. F. further informs us that ® heavy blow was experienced at St. Pierres on the 16th ult. which drove three vessels ashore, among which xvas the Guide, Morton, of and from Ply mouth, and an English schooner and sloop; all of which had bilged and were abandoned. On his homeward passage, in lat. 26, he boarded the hull of a large schooner; her stern and quar-< ter deck and masts xvere gone, one of which xvas alongside, and her main- deck under xvater; no person could be found on board. There were but 7 American vessels in port when he sailed; 4 of xvhich xvere to sail in the course of the xveek. ‘ Milt* st et ad he S or h< oiisi erd ere he et and get! xvas X YOl'l H’ tat |to t der col imu pec the jail he, ths co iy na da ©d an W fu V An accident occurred in the Conrt of Sessions one day last week, calcula ted to affect the hearts of spectator?, if not those who are officially harden ed to such scenes.
