Aii UAH AM JACKSON Speaker of the Hvife of Reprnfen tatlves , J ARED IRWIN, P rest dent of the Senate . Affentcd to December 2, 1805. JOHN MILLEDGS, Governor. 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
