A Chapter in the Aboriginal History of Atlanta. While standing at the cur shed some days ago, I became the occidental, yet interested, listener to the recital of seme incideuts in the early history of Atlanta, by an aged gentleman, who was en’ route to his home in Texas; and such was the earnestness of the old man’s manner, and so much interest did he throw into his rnde but impressive style of speech HOTEL**.

The transaction was early in the morning of a lovely Septem ber day, or at least in the Autumn season. A party of young braves, attached to the Walton Spring faction, had been absent all night in the direction of the trading post, now Deca tur, and had returned about sunrise. Their manner was boisterous and insulting to all with whom they came in contact. They had traded skins k ior liquor, and it is a matter of history, that nothing in the shape ot man or . beast is more or relentless than an Indian as he recalled to mind thnlling scenes of w ith bis brain full of whisky.

That civilization did have a damaging effect upon the morals of the Aboriginese of Geor arms and the demoniac yells of the drunken and infuriated savages.

It was a question upon which the “Cherokees” and “Creeks” were largely divided, and the opposition of very many of them to its final consummation was of an intensely hostile character. The disaffection among the Cher okees was perhaps not so general, and they packed bag and baggage for their new hunt ing grounds beyond the northern bank of the Chattahoochee, with a better grace than the others. How far the discontent among the Creeks extended may be inferred from the as sassination of their chief by some of the young “braves” of the tribe, a tragic event that created no little consternation at the time,. The perpetrators were never known, though the lover of a young and beautiful and unruly, and it is not improbable that the assassins of the Chief of the Creeks perished by the hands of one or another internecine strife.
