Ton years ago the 'tribe num bered 25,000 but the ravages of war. the exposure olthe refugees in North ern climates when they were driven' out from their homes during the rebel lion, and other causes, have operatedto produce this wonderful diminution numbers. The Cherokces now own in fee simple about 4,000,800 million acres of land, and the United States government holds in trust lur 81,000- OQO. The Ckerokees are the most en lightened tribe of Indians in the West. Thev have made most commendable progress in civilization. Many ol them are finely educated, and are men of culture and refinement. Beiore the war they had a number of good schools and acadamics and the children ol the. more intelligent and wealthy educated in Eastern colleges. They have leg 1 islative form of government, with a Senate and House ol Assembly ; a Govcnor and head chief, elected by the peoplecourts and justice officers. — Their-country is divided into and die rent counties. They held slaves, but in out Western provincialism that is “played out.” Their former slaves a?© now; treated with consideration and respect and will soon become tiie principal men ol the tribe, as they are industri. ous and seem to have a greater desire to accumulate property than the native Indians lu proportion to their num bers, the Cherokces* previous to the war, were the wealthiest people on the lace of the globe. They owned immense herds of cattle, horses and hogs. — Large shipments of cattle were annu ally made by them to New Orleans and other markets. One man owned 20- 000 head of cattle, another 15,000. — There were in my that owned 10,000, 3,000, 2.00, 1,000 aad 500 bead of cat tie each.

It is a repti. tion of thst po’icy which is as old as Satan, “rule or ruin’’. V\ ith llill,s, Johnson sand Perry s letters spread out lief ire them, there is hardly t a measute of Radical severity -winch w ill not he sustained by the Northern people. Our greatest enemies Rudthe Kudica"s best friends are these mischievous Southern Politicians, who cannot keep 'heir mouths shut, and who are erroneously regarded at the ?►. or 61; as rep m ■ serft tft rve m c 11 . for every additional turn ol the screw, wc have to thank them.

Can anytlung he done to arrest tlie hurtful influence of the class of men undor considera tion 1 There would be no difficulty iliit'vvcrc not fur the aj palling apathy which prevails a inong the people. It is the stupid sullemiess of despair. As an illustration, although it is known tliatjhere is an apprenticing contest lorj supremacy between the two races, yet while t here were upwards of two thousand votes cast in tlie county last spring in the selection ol a count v site, not fourteen hundred whites regis tered, showing from six to eight hundred men in the county who did not register. Possibly sulficient interest may he felt in view of the perils which are imminent, till >ld a public meeting of the thinking and true men olthe county during our next court week. Let this meeting be neither Radical or Democratic. If,we are to.have any party let it be tke ‘ Geor gia partv, ’ whose aim shall be to extricate out beloved and injured state from its present dis aster* .qrnoeiLily as possible. We it awe noth ing at prescnbto do with Northern politic.-. It is madness toiiaterfi re with them. When we get a Representation in Congress, our party se lection can he made it we think proper, to.make It would he desirouble at such a meeting as has been suggested, for the people to condemn as unwise all avowed opposition whether in words or through the press, to the settled Re construction policy of the Government, and to a (firm that wcffcgavd as unsafe loaders, howev er imJiieut their ability,those men who advo cate such associations. It would be productive iff good,af went; such an assemblage should declare our intention to vote .lor a convention, to select as our dele gates, our best and wisest men who are not disqualified, and to instruct them to unite in framing the best state constitution which wil 1 he accep ed by the "Government as Republican. If uch e cen-stit.’Jtion could be found in the ad mirable constitution or in* state oi Massachu setts- Why should Georgia not adopt it 1 — That constitution will hardly be rejected by congress ae mot being Republican. Huts or 'thodo«y -should he questioned, the onus of proof would be shifted from us,to,the shoulders of the Massachusetts delegation. The action ofitbe meeting might closed hy' signitVirrg our intention, in the event of die ac ceptance of our constitution, to vote for men asddlegat.es to congress who can take the test oath, and who will do their duty both to the state and the Government.

( O.ML TO EASTERN TEXAS. From the T.vter* (Texvs) lirport'r. People of the older States, instead of risking everything in ernmigrating to distant region*, should come directly 'to Eastern Texan. Here we ha.ne homes , for all. Here plenty smites o« every j side. Here enterprise and industry have their sure reward. Eortur.es can and w ill he made here within the next few years. Our soil is productive and easy of cultivation. Our climate is salubrious and genial. Timber and , water are abundant and excellent. — ; Corn, cotton, wheat, oats, rice, barley, tobacco, sugar cane, potatoes, and al most every kind of garden vegetables,! grow side by side on llie s»wve farm. Fruits ol many kinds* apples, pearlies, quinces, plums, cherries, tigs, pears, »!j*c.,grow luxuriantly. It is a country remarkably adapted to the cultivation of the grape. The Catawba, Scuper nong, E-l ‘Paso, Delaware and many other varieties being now successfully cultivated, which ail grow as well as our native grape, which only needs a little cultivation to moke pt equal in all respects to any other grape in this country. Most grasses, too, succeed well here, but have .received but little attention as yet. We In.we in Eastern Texas a large preponderance of white people. — Churches and school-houses are already built in every neighborhood. Saw and grist mills, cotlou gins, and other nec essary machinery are in successful operation all over the country. Still we have a great abundance ol fine lands unouktivated, and lor sale on terms very favorable to immigrants. Land cantfee bought cheap, and on as long time as one could reasonably desire. A small payment ol cash in hand, and ouv best unimproved lands can be had cm a long credit, with payment in yearly instal-t ments. Provisions of every kind will be cheap this fall. IS tuck are also cheap. Eastern Texas will bid high for settlers this year, and Smith county will strive to be in the lead. Preparations are already making to associate landholders *n this portion of the State into an organization to aid in the settling of our unoccupied lands. Arrangements will he made for supply ing a-.large numbt r of immigrants with lands at the present low prices. An agent —one of high standing and char acter a-s a thoroughly practical man, will visit the East, to stimulate immi gration to Eastern Texas. He will prepare the way dor (the water and railroad transportation of immigrants, on more favorable terms than can be secured bv unassociated ‘individuals. He will also secuie powets of attorney and appoint agencies for the sale of lands throughout several .comities.— Persons desiring information upon this subject, can address Judge O. M.

Gay, ol Decatur, vteurgia, io inUc funvts tor me nunal ol the Confederate dead, at Franklin, Tenti., and fur enclosing the cemetery. About a year ago Miss Gay went to Texas to solicit donation* to this work. She asked four thousand dollars in that State, and got it easily from the free hearted people. We have seen a letter from Col, Mc- Gavoek, of Franklin, Tenn., who gave the ground for the cenieliry and after whom it>is named, from which we learn, enough to infer that the work is now completed. An iron railing for the enclosure of the entiie cemetery has been made in Cincinnati, at a cost of thirty-six hundred dollar.- - , freight in cluded, and the contract was feeing filled lor its erection. 'The railing, we are informed, is very handsome, the gate having a silver plate wrought in it bearing tlie name of Miss Gay, as a memorial testimony of her remarkable activity and perseverance in raising funds with winch to carry on the work-. The rei«aim of about fifteen hundred Confederate soldiers, who fell in the battle of Franklin, have been collected and reititered in this cemetery at a cost of about five dollars ami a half eirc'.u 'The ladies ol Franklin, tl r ngh a series of public entertainments, have raised funds for ornamenting the cemetery with shrubbery, flowers, <fec. The whole of that community, we learn, are devoted to the work, and Ifave great pride in thus showing respect to the memory of the brave men who fell upon that memorable field. The cost of the whole work approximates nine thousand dollars; but we learn that an official report of what has been done will soon be published, including statements ol how the money was raised and how it was expended. Col. McGavoek is among tlie most generous of the contributors* He do nated a beautiful lot immediately in the rear of his handsome tesidence and adjoining his own family 7 burial ground. The work has been done under his supervision, and through his care the funds contributed fortius purpose have been used to the best advantage. 'Too much credit cannot be bestowed upon Miss Gay* for her untiring energy iu the good cause. The whole work, we are informed, has been done mainly through her instrumentality 7 . She has a brother interred in the cemetery, and, we learn, that, at an early day* she will place a monument at his grave. Other monuments and durable headstones will also be erected, in time, the whole making the cemetery a very beautiful memorial to the dead who slumber in it. —Ladies Home Gqzeit. A sevf.re tornado visited Bellevieu, Ky., just above Newport, on Saturday, blowing down several houses and doing other damage. The Fox, llie Goat, ami tlie Carrots. A fox and a goat were walking to gether on .the main road* Alter hav ing advanced a few yards they saw a bag tying at the side ot the hedge. “I wonder what there may be in that bag,” said the goal. “I’ll see,” said the fox ; and putting his mouth to the suing with which llie bag was tied, he bit i* through in a mo ment. Then seizing the bottom of the bag with his teeth, he shook it. and the most splendid carrotts rolled out. “Those are for me.” said the fox, “for 1 have opened the bag.” “You shant touch them,” answered the goat, “else I’ll batter you with my horns tilt your ribs crack.” The fox .looked at the large horns of tlie goat, and showed his teeth. The goat seeing the fox's teeth, thought within himself, “1 don’t like these sharp fellows.” And the fox thought, “I don’t believe my ribs would stand those horns.” So they kept standing i vertl-e carrots, and looked at each other, but neither had t he courage to touch the spoil. After a pause the fox said* “What’s the use of our standing here ? Let us see'which of us is the stronger. Yonder are two heaps ol stones* Take you one of them and I’ll take tlie other,; he who first throws down his heap shall have the carrots.” “Very well,” said the goat. So they went each to his heap. The goat placed himself on his hind legs, and knocked with his horns till the ground rebounded, but tlie heap kept immovable. ••Yon don’t hit hard euough,” said the i"x. “Take a run at it.” Th o goat went a few steps back, and and rail at the heap as violently as lie could, Crack ! crack 1 and both Ins horns fell to tlie ground. When the fox saw this he commenc ed dancing on his hind legs. “Alt, my dear iellow,” cried he, “tlie carrots are now for me.” “Not yet.” said the goat. “You haven’t thrown down your heap, and il you touch the-carrots before then, 1 11 light you with the slumps that are left on my head.” 'l'ite fox looked at the goat’s stumps, and thought, “One of them is very sharp ; he might rip up my 6ides.” “Very well,” he said, “I’ll throw down my heap ; it’s a trifle to me.’ The fox began digging round with his fore-feet till there was a large hole, in the ground. The heap tottered and fell on the fox, and broke his left hind leg. There (they stood, looking at one another with a sad countenance ; the one with broken horns, the other with a broken leg. “Jump at the carrots,” said the goat maliciously. “1 now leave them to you.” “I can’t,” sighed the fox ? “my leg pains me too much. You may take them.” “Very well,” said the goat, and ran toward the bag. But, O dear! there was neither bug nor carrots, for during (heir quarrel a peasant had passed by, •and picked wp both. “Alas-!” cried the goat, “What tools we are3” Had we divided the treasure in peace, 1 should have saved my horns, you your leg, and each of us would have had enough ©1 carrots.”— De Liejde. Georgia.—Good Sentiments. A correspondent of the New York Express wrote from Oxford, Georgia-, on the 22 tilt: 'The great mass of the people, both white and colored, are industriously engaged in making a subsistence, and if the ruling powers on earth will deal as kindly with ms, a* those of heaven are doing, we may yet be a prosperous and happy people.

August 22. —Ex-Go\ eruor Wise delivered an address to-day at Washington and Henry Academy.— He said we all know we owe a nativ* ral allegiance to our country, and any oath to support its Constitution or oath of registration was a violation ol that Constitution. There is an effort to make the white fire eaten of the South subject to the domination of the black freed men. Against this we must ap. peal to the white masses of the North, who will not (permit the sacrifice of na ture’s laws lo political prejudices.— The v, hies of New England., the Mid dle States and Europe must not be kept out of the South by black rule.

He urged his audience to renew their allegiance to their country, and never desert the Constitution ; to preserve the purity of their race and blood, and labor incessantly lo live in peace and plenty, The .President is said to be con templating the issuance of a general amnesty proclamation. He maintains ifialhe has the ‘constitutional power to do so. It is said'that Gen.

There have been no formal resigna tions of Cabinet officers* The Inltlli ceucer’s statement to the effect was based upon the fact that the members had all expressed and willingness to re tire if the President desired them to do so.
