THE STANDARD AND EXPRESS. By SMITH. WIKLE & CO.] CHEROKEE COUNTY (KETCHES. SO. 111. A considerable excitement prevail ed for a di,y or two among tlie early settlers of Cherokee, at one time, on account of a rei»ort which said that a company of Creek Indians, numlxT ing several hundred, was encamped in the neighborhood of “ Proctor’s l.t**nd,” a distance of five miles below our father’s residence, on the river. It was supposed that their intention.- were hostile, and a company of whites was formed to look after them, and ascertain the cause of their visit. We remember swing those soldiers as they stopp«*d to consult at our father’s house one* night, on their way to tin scene of action. They were “armed and equipped as tin* law directs.” and presented quite an imposing apjjear aiice to us who were utt«*rly unused to j car. We believe that our esteem t*W old friend, Col. John P. Brooke, who is still living, and ilaj. John McConnell, another valuable citizen* who died several years ago, were among the number. They marched “ under the cover of night,” in the direction of the supposed enemy, and just before reaching their encamp ment, some drunken fellow made a noisy demonstration, and all the In dian men escaped, leaving quite a number of squaws and children as prisoners, and several ponies as spoils of uar. All night long we heard the howling of dogs, and the neighing ol horses, and our feelings were not ol the most pleasant character; hut when morning light approached, and the soldiers returned, our fears were dissipated, and we learned that those Creeks had not visited our section with any hostile intentions, but had come merely on a friendly visit to some ol their relations. Their ponies, squaws and other property were restored to them, and thus the war ended. The Indians, in a few instances, committed the most horrible mur ders. We remember the ease ol Tooth-Pick, who murdered a whole family of whites in Cass county, in a most shocking manner. Wocanno. now recall the names of the unfortu nate victims, but we remember that he confessed, or it was proved that he killed the father and mother, set the house on lire and threw the children into the flames! It was said that one of the little boys clung to his sleeve until it was torn off, and the poor little fellow was thrown into the fire! What a demon incarnate that Indian must have been! In arresting him lie was shot in the arm, and there be ing no secure jail at Cassviile, he was carried to Canton for safe keeping, and after a few days it became neces sary to amputate the wounded limb. Our father was called on to perform the operation. He said that Tooth- Pick seemed perfectly indifferent while it was going on, and never moved a muscle. lie was tried, con demned, taken back to Cassviile and hanged. The principle diet of the Indians was “connehany,” or hominy. This was prepared by putting com in large wooden mortars, and crashing ii with long wooden pestles. They then boiled it with a little salt, and it was ready for the table, if there had been one. We were frequently amus ed on witnessing them in the act ol taking their meals. They would place a pot of connehany on the floor, and all gather around it with large wooden spoons, and each made good use of the time in searching for the bottom. It sometimes happened that a poor hungry dog would come in for his share, and would begin to lap out of the pot, when an old squaw would squall out, “skener /” and strike the intruder on the head with her spoon, drive him oil' howling, and then re sume her eating! We lived amongst the Indians about four years, and were glad when it was announced that they were all to be taken away to the West, though there were a few among them with whom we regretted to part. We re member well the occasion when the soldiers came to gather up those who were in our immediate neighborhood. We were playing with some little In dian boys in an old tieid as the troops marched along the road, keeping time to the music of drum and life, and as we peeped through the cracks of the fence, we were deeply impress ed with the “pompaiulcircumstance ol glorious war!” Some of the poor Indians wept bitterly on bidding u last lureweil to their homes, the graves of their kindred and friends, and the many objects around which their affections twined with the fond est devotion; while others again put on a cheerful appearance, and seemed willing to go. We have always thought that the fate of those poor creatures was a hard one, but perhaps they have been justly dealt with, yet we think that the conduct of the whites towards them has not been strictly in accordance with the Gold en ltuh in every particular. In t.*e spring of 1838, we saw nine hundred Cherokees pass our father’s house on their way to their homes in the West. Our heart was tender then, and to us it was a sad sight. Many of them recognized us, and told us good-bye as they passed along. Old Stop, a chief q!' the tribe, was a good man, and our father esteemed him very highly, it was raining on the morning of their departure, and our father gave his old friend an um brella. He returned many thanks for the present, and remarked to our father that he would never need such an article again, as that was the last rain that would ever fall upon the white people. The old chief was mistaken, however, for we have had several tine seasons since that time, to our certain knowledge. We will now take our leave of the Indians, as we have seen them leave for the West, and in our next sketch we will have something to say about the whites who first settled Cherokee, and other scenes and incidents con nected with the early history of the county. The American Atlantic Telegraph Company proposes to lay a cable from Milford Haven, in Wales, to Rice Beach, New Hampshire. It seems that the president and cabinet are unanimously opposed to the withdrawal of the claims for in direct damages from arbitration.

CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 16, 1873. Till: FAUEE. No calling is more independent than that of the fanner. No matter how stock may fluctuate, what panics may occur in the money markets, he is independent of all these, the necessa ries, and many of the luxuries of life —many luxuries, indeed, which wealth cannot buy—a sound mind, a -trong and healthy body, sweet sleep and contentment, offsprings of health giving labor and quiet life. Yet with all these advantages, no calling is carried on with less system, we speak of the masses) less thought, study and maturity of plans, and con sequently no class Is more imposed u{>- on. If the fanner, with all the ad vantages of his calling would add sys tem to his labors, and correctness of action in his transaction, instead of being looked down upon, as is too of ten the case, by the more genteel (?) professions, he would, in truth, bethe •lord of the manor,’ as he is the bone and sinew of the nation. There is a plain read which leads directly to this position for the farmer, and that is concert of action. Merchants have their boards of trade and their meet ings on ‘change,’ Printers their typo graphical unions, teachers their asso ciations and institutes, the various me chanics their respective unious—all the trades and professions have means ] of securing harmony of action, while the farmer, single handed and alone, not knowing, practically speaking, what his merest neighbor is doing, with no system of concerted effort must combat all these united influen ; ccs, for they all depend upon him for their daily bread; and is it any j wonder that he comes out of the bat -1 tie of life with colors trailing in the dust. Is it retorted that the farmer lias his agricultural fairs and cattle show? What are they? Too often mere exhi bitions of accidental prodigies, con trolled frequently by other professions in which premiums are paid for slow mules, and leafs of equestrianism, where not a single idea is interchang ed in regard to saving labor, increas ing the yield of crops, advancing the value of farm products, improving the condition of the farm and its soil, ele vating the farmer himself. What the farmer wants is system in his labor, ] experiment and improvement. Far mers should form societies, having at least semi-annual meetings, not for the purpose of mere useless exhibi tion, but for the purpose of compar ing notes, giving the result of their experiments, and having plans for the J future, taking into account all their labor and expense—the cost of given j products, that reasonable gains may be put upon them. How often-are farm products sold for less than the actual cost of production —the fanner and his family toiling life away, and re ceiving for their labor no just recom pense, and so it will ever be while the farmer is content to work single hand ed, without regard to his own or his neighbor’s interest, taking no note of his own operations, and having scarce ly a thought ahead. The time is past when all the thinking, and all the writing, and all the speaking must be done by the professions. Every far mer should be bis own thinker and | his own actor, and these thoughts and , actions should be directed to the suc cess of his calling. Would the trades and professions J look with jealousy upon such amove- j ment? They would have no cause] for jealousy. Their "own prosperity would be secured by it. Tell «s the condition and business habits of the farmers of a community, and we will tell you the condition of the trades and professions of that community. As the farmers prosper, so will those around them prosper. All are i alike interested in the thrift of the ag- ] rieultural classes. Let the farmers be true to themselves, then, no longer j content to drag along in the plodding j furrows of the ancients, but come forth I as the men they are, and regulate and ; control their own glorious calling.— I Golden Era. INJURIES TO THE NORSK THAT MAY RE EASILY AVOIDED. Many horses are made vicious from cruel treatment. More horses fail from weariness than from any other cause. When a horse falls, he is more frightened than his rider. A frightened animal cannot use its senses aright; it must be first re-as sured by gentle treatment. It is speed that kills the horse. Never strike an animal upon the head. Careless application of the whip has blinded many horses. More horses are lamed from bad shoeing than from all other causes to gether. Never kick nor scream at a horse nor jerk the bit in his mouth. A Good Way' of Cooking On ions. —lt is a good plan to boil onions in milk and water $ it diminishes the strong taste of that vegetable. It is an excellent way of serving up onions, to chop them after they are boiled and put them in a stew-pan with a little milk, butter, salt and pepper, and let them stew about fifteen minutes. This gives them a fine flavor, and they can be served up very hot. Boiled Indian Pudding.— Take one pint of sour milk, half a teacup of molasses, two tablespoonfuls of but ter and lard, one tablespoonful of so da, one-half cup of chopped raisins, or any kind of fruit; stir in corn meal as thick as can be stirred. Boil two hours in a tin pudding dish, with a lid to shut tight, leaving room to rise. Serve with sugar and cream, flavored with lemon or vanilla, or sweet sauce or syrup. Peas. —Sow peas on your worn out lands, and just before frost turn under the vines, and sow wheat. In this way continue to alternate with peas and wheat, and you will soon restore your lands, and be well paid for your labor. A cheap way to make manure, is to haul muck from the swamps and mix lime with it. In many places large quantities of excellent manure might be made in this way, during the win ter months. To Keep Weevils our of Wheat. —We have often tried put ting china leaves and berries in wheat to keep out the weevil, and when we have used this preventive freely, we have never been troubled with those insects. TO PURIFY A ROOM. Set a pitcher of water in a room, and in a few hours it will have ab sorbed all the respired gasses in the room, the air of which will become purer, but the water perfectly filthy. The colder the water is the greater the capacity to contain these gasses. At ordinary temperature a pail of wa ter will contain a pint of carbonic acid gas and several pints of ammonia. The capacity is nearly doubled by re ducing the water to the temperature of ice. Hence, water kept in a room awhile is always unfit for use. For the same reason the water from a pump should always be pumped out In the morning before any of it is used, impure water is more injurious than impure air. Clover. —We are convinced that in order to raise clover in this country, it must be sown on rich land. To sow it on poor soil, is to throw away time and money. Make a small patch rich every year, sow it in clover, and you will soon have hay in abundance. The present dry spell of weather gives the farmers a good opportunity to clear their crops of grass and weeds. Now is the time to conquer those en emies. If the ground has been well broken, it is more important to plow often tliau deep.
