To the Editor of the National Intelllgenclr
Sir—The late arrival in this city of a
deputation o( Cherokee chiefs having from
their appearance excited con Tolerable atten
tion, has induced the following ttatement
and observations relating to that nation;
To Tpcak generally, the progress of the use-
Tul arts, variety of manufactures, and pur
luits of agriculture is so great among tbefe
people as ought effectually to remove pre
judices that formerly existed against the red
men of Amtrira. A pcrLn travelling thro*
the Cherokee country is agreeably surprised
to ffnd the c.trds and the spinning wheel in
use in almost every family. They raise th*
cotton and the indigo, spin and dye the
yarn, and weave it into harJTome cloth,
with which they cloathe their families in a
decent and comfortable manner in the habits
of the white people, 'fliers is more than
ent hundred spinning wheels and upwards
of one handred looms in the Cherokee nation
which arc all in use with much industry.
Among them are found (llvcr-ftniths, black- .
Tniiliaf coopers, faddlera, tanners, (hoe
makers and wheel weights; specimen of
these manufactures may be Teen «t the honfe
of Mr. Morin, in this city, These me
chanics are principally felf taught, part of
their tools are furnifhed hy the public, and
part by thetnfelves j the plough and the hoe
are in common use amongff them. By th#
affiffancc o( Tome vv-hltc men they make large
quantities of falt-pctre, and powder, with
which their own people are (applied at a
much cheap‘r rate th.m formerly, and some
carried out of th:ir country to fell to-the
white people in Georgia and Tcnneffbe.
They have Teveral grist mills and one fawr m
mill. So far have they changed the hunting *
life for parfuits leading to civilization, and
all tins has bren dona Tmcc the year 1794,
when there was not a pair of cards, spinning
wheel or loom, or even a mechanic in their
nation. They have large (locks of black
cattle, horses and other domeffic animals ;
They make some butter, and chcefe of a
good quality is made in a number of families-.
Since agriculture and the dome!’.*.c arts have
become the principal ohj-Cls of perfoit their
population has evidently iucreafed,
'i'bers arc now fe/en schools in their
country where more than one hundred chi!-
dren arc taught reading and writing, and
some of them arithmetic. They arc faft
emerging from a (late of barbarity to a date
of improved and amiable society, and undcf
the countenance and fifteiing hand of go
vernment will become ufeful citizens, and
will contribute no incoftfiderable portion to
the strength o( our country ; to which they
ate every day becoming mare and more
attached-from inteteft and rffcftion. There
h-.s formerly exiiled an erroneous opinicn
that the aborigines of this country could not
b* brought to a date of civilifation. A
great part of the Cherokee* art now actually
civilified ; to fix tire piecife point where
barb, rite f. ;.fcs and where civilization be
gins i-: js-.lups impossible—-Many of these
people have cunfiderahle information and
great decency cf manners ; these are strong
mark, cf civilization. It in any society id
be req ured-that every individual be well
ipformrd, and decent in manners before that
foek-iy could been titled to the appellation
of civi'.lZ -1 society, I dont know what cen
fidcrahle dMrhft of ray country would be’
entif! d to the appcllatiup. The, fret i;,
that the Cherokee* hi' e m:.dc considerable
j advances in civilization, the c >nfi !-r iti ni
| of .v/hLhVUt afford mut4i faritfaCli m to :he
