We have TWO little paragraphs which show
ho,o Indian difficulties begin, and who is al
fault in creating them. We copy the follow
ing from the Cherokee Advocate: "


eve are informed by a gentleman just from
Maysville, Arkansas, that a foul murder was
perpe,rated in that village, on the night OF the
10th instant, by some unknown assassin. The
name Of the murdered man is E. George, a
Cherokee. The deceased, in company with
some other Cherokees, had gone to Maysville
on Saturday, says cur informant, and there got
into drunken frolic and is supposed to have
been in a state of intoxication at the time he
received the fatal blow.


"No,hing seems to have been known of the
fate of this unfortunate man until the next
morning, (Sunday,) when his lifeless body was
discovered, lying in one of the streets OF that
ill-fated village, with two or three stabs in his
back and side, and not far from the whiskey
shop from whence was dealt out the liquid
fire, which, no doubt, excited the assassin to
the bloody deed

writes what his heart feels and his head
dictates. And soho diffuses that liquid fire,
waking up the red mans devilish passions,
and creating strife, bloody dispute, and muir
der? The White man. And if, when thus
excited or crazed, the poor Indian fires build
ing, or strikes down.the white. or is guilty Of
any lawless or reckless conduct towards the
"settler," vengeance follows him, and his
clan-his whole tribe it may be-is made to
feel it. tits hard lot, and the wonder is
that the savage bears with it as meekly and
bravely as he does.- Cincinnati Gazette.
