party suffered for that crime? It is but turn about. So reason all the tribe of Sheriff Frank. A murder was committed in the previous year. Who doubts that some of the Bulliner family had marked this day for Sisney's death? On searching out the facts, I find a story of vendetta in the Prairie lands, which for vindictive passion equals the most brutal quarrels in Ajaccio and the Monte d'oro; almost rivals in atrocity the blood feuds of the two Cherokee factions in Vinta between Stand Watie and Jack Ross. Colonel Sisney and George Bulliner were neighbours, living on adjoining farms, near Carterville. Sisney had a farm of three hundred and sixty acres, Bulliner a farm, a saw mill, and a woollen mill. Sisney, a native of the country, had served in the war, and gained the rank of captain. How he obtained the grade of colonel, no one seems to know; he may have been commissioned in the way of Colonel Brown. Bulliner was a new comer, who had left Tennessee, his native state, d

personal property, and equal laws. Two brothers, named Strong Buck and Stand Watie, were the active radical chiefs; Strong Buck the thinker, Stand Watie the soldiWatie the soldier of their band. Adair was but a nominal head. Strong Buck had been sent by Elias Boudinot, a kindly French planter, to a good school, where he had learned to reaon him, and with yells and curses plunged their knives into his heart. Stand Watie took up the mission of avenging his brother's blood, and in the Cherokee fashiod, the Cherokees have been ranged in opposite camps; one side adhering to Stand Watie, while the other side have adhered to Ross. All those who wished to settle dowthe land, adopt White customs, and prepare for citizenship, rallied round Stand Watie and Adair. All braves and hunters who preferred to roam and thieve, and keep tes, and murdering helpless enemies, on a secret sign from Ross. Except Stand Watie, every man among the radical party was afraid of this Pin League and these Ligh

the son of Strong Buck very strange. Yet this strange sight was not so galling to the Cherokee as the fact that a coward and a slave should be seen ruling, even for a moment, the councils of an assembly which has the power of dealing with the rights of a people like the Cherokees --a people untameably brave and immemorially free. Everyone, sighs the young Cherokee, appears to have rights in this republic except the original owners of the soil. The son of Strong Buck and nephew of Stand Watie cannot see that this new position of the Negro is an accident, not a growth, having no better foundation than the quicksands of a party vote. Even if the Cherokee intellect could grasp the situation as a whole, such contrasts as those presented at Washington and in Talequah would still be great. A contrast in the Negro's position lies at his gate, and startles him on passing his frontier line. To the south of Red River, a Negro may be anything for which he possesses brain enough-from sw

d your battalion, for this day's work, shall never be forgotten, whether you live or die." Trouble in the Cherokee Nation. The Fort Smith Times, of the 25th ult., learns that Montgomery, the notorious brigand, has arrived on the Western frontier and commenced fortifying himself in the Cherokee nation. He had taken several hundred eattle from the Cherokees living in that part of the country, and killed four of the Indians of that tribe. The Times is further informed that Stand Watie had sent to Tablequah for ten kegs of powder, but could only get two kegs. There is great excitement in the Nation, and a large number of the Pin party have changed in favor of the South. It will be a bad day's business for this skulking guerilla if he should venture too near the "bowie-knife" boys underBen. McCulloch in Northwestern Arkansas. A patriot's Burial.

ch is passable, leaving a passage for his army to pass south, if necessary, which he will fill with fallen timber as he retires. He will also block up all the roads through the Boston Mountains, except the narrows of Frog Bayon, through which he will retire, if forced; and woe to the Federals if they venture to follow. But we have no idea that they will ever pass Sugar creek. Price will hold the Federals in check. They cannot turn that point. Col. Diamond's Texas regiment, and Stand Watie's Cherokee regiment are on the Kansas line, waiting for Lane, who is said to be approaching at the head of 8,500 Jayhawkers. The following dispatch, dated "Headquarters, Little Sugar Creek, Ark., Nov. 11, we copy from the Fort Smith Times, Nov. 14: Major Geo. W. Clarke: The General Commanding directs that you forward immediately all the companies that are or may be mustered into service. The Missouri army is at Pineville. The Federal troops are advancing from Springfield.

The Indians in Arkansas. --From the Fort Smith Evening News, of the 6th inst., we glean the following intelligence: We learn from Major George W. Adair, Quartermaster of Colonel Watie's Cherokee regiment, that Opothleyholo is gaining strength very fast by addition to his forces, from the Creeks, Cherokees and Seminole, and that he is receiving supplies and reinforcements from Kansas. A large number of Cherokees, living on the Verdigris, in the upper portion of the Nation, are leaving their houses and are coming into the lower part of the Nation for protection. The Federals in Kansas are furnishing the Indians under Opothleyholo with new guns and new wagons. Several of the guns were taken in the late fight with them, and the wagons were new with iron axles.

tosh for assistance and it is to be hoped that he will furnish it with promptness. If aid is not sent, we will be likely to have terrible times on this frontier. Later.--From the same paper, of the 16th inst., we gather the following later intelligence: An express arrived yesterday from Col. Waite, from which we learn that his regiment is on the move to aid Col. Cooper. Nothing has yet been heard of Capt Parks and his company. It is feared that they have all been killed, and Watie's men are highly exasperated. We learn that Col. McIntosh, in command of the troops on this frontier, has ordered 8 companies of Col. Young's regiment, 5 companies of Col. Greer's regiment, and Col. Whitfield's battalion to the assistance of Colonel Cooper, against Opothleyholo and his Jayhawking allies. Who is Opothleyholo? Some curiosity having been manifested as to the identity of this notorious Indian chief, the Fort Smith News, of the 13th inst. answers the question as fol
