regret that the Rev. Mr. Stringlield
should give his influence in circulating the
assertion above quoted. It is a mere fabri

considered that a charge is easier made

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-

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.

Loss of the ship Gen. 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. ‘

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. A boatman was
put to the bar on an indictment fo*
stealing a cable. He prayed the
court to postpone the trial on account
of the absence of his principal witness;
but as the witness had left the court
xvithout leave, the trial xvas ordered
to proceed. The prisoner’s counte
nance fell;, “there’s no chance for
me,” said he, “if my w itness is not
here.” The jury xvere sworn, and
the complainant was examined by the
District attorney. His story was in
coherent. Two xvitnesses xvere call
ed, who did not ansxver. Meantime the
daughter of the prisoner, a young girjr
of 14, came forward, her eyes sullW
