FRoM THE CHEROKEE ECoUNTRY.-W heeler Taught,
Cherokee, was hanged at Tahequah about the first
week in April, for the murder Of Takatoka which
he is said to have confessed duplicating also five OF
the STAIRS, two other Indians, and a white man,
Madison Gerring.


Another Cherokee named Barrow was convicted
the same week Of conspiracy to overthrow the con-
sttution and laws Of the nation by system of rob-
berry and MURDER and sentenced to be hanged on the
9th. The conspiracy" is said to have been extern
sve and of long existence and the murder Of Taxa
toka was one Of its incidents. The STAIRS are ac-
cused Of having taken leading part in it.


The Advocats says:


"The extent to which vainy is carried on in the
western country, is really astonishing. Circum-
stances have long indicated the existence of nu-
merous band of thieves and murderers but urtil re-
Gently, so perfect is the organization little nothing
of positive nature has been known Of their opera
tons. But from certain revelations that have been
made within a short time past, we are induced to
believe that skilful management would succeed in
bringing the whole affair to light, and in exposing
many Of the persons who belong to this association


"For years past large number Of horses and
mules have been stolen, and successfully run from
their owners; and more recently several negroes
kidnapped and taken off in the same manner The
chain Of villains engaged in this nefarous business,
and by which several men have been murdered and
robbed, is composed Of whites and Indians, and
probably extends from Texas to certain parts of
Missouri, passing through Arkansas, and the Cher
okee and Choctaw country" .a.
