, in 1861 was sent by the Confederate government to secure the alliance of the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw and Seminole tribes. He was successful in winning over portions of those tribes to the cause of the Confederacy and was commissioned colonel of the First Choctaw and Chickasaw regiment of mounted riflemen. Some of the Indians preferred allegiance to the United States government. Ceneral Cooper participated during the war. His command consisted of the following troops: First Choctaw and Chickasaw regiment, Second Choctaw regiment, First and Second Cherokee regiments, and the FChoctaw regiment, First and Second Cherokee regiments, and the First and Second Creek regiments, Choctaw, Seminole and Creek battalions, and Howell's Texas battery.

aylor's Indians were advancing in perfect security, they were received by a murderous fire; the Federals, uttering a savage yell, rushed upon them and drove them back in disorder. Their chief, however, succeeded in rallying them upon a ridge commanding the little valley of Bayou Barnard; but they did not long defend this position; at the first fire they abandoned it and dispersed. This double combat had cost them one hundred and twenty-five men disabled. The dead bodies of Taylor and two Choctaw captains were found near Bayou Barnard. Philipps, crossing the Neosho, rejoined Forman, but was unable to cut off the retreat of the enemy's detachment which had been sent against the latter, and which succeeded in making its way to the south of the Arkansas. The small Federal troop was in possession of the entire left bank of this river; it occupied Gibson; then, satisfied with its success, and fearing to compromise it, it proceeded up the Neosho to join the rest of the Indian brigade,

pick up as many cattle as possible; Osterhaus had followed it and occupied the railroad-bridge; a corps of twelve thousand men, temporarily formed of detachments taken from various divisions, was sent on the 26th of May, under Blair's command, to oppose an expected movement of Johnston. At the end of one week this corps returned to Vicksburg, after having followed the course of the Yazoo for a distance of forty-four miles. A few days previously Porter had sent five ships The De Kalb, Choctaw, Linden, Petrel, and Forest Rose, under the command of Lieutenant-commander John. G. Walker.—Ed. to visit this river and to destroy all the enemy's vessels that might happen to be lying there. The Federal fleet, arriving at Haines' Bluff on the 20th, had been the first to occupy this position, which had been abandoned by the enemy, and on the following day it reached Yazoo City at the very moment when a fire kindled by the Confederates was consuming the arsenal, together with three powerfu
migration from Kentucky and Tennessee can get these farms cheap, and will be welcomed with open arms. Never was there such a chance for bettering fortunes as is now offered to the people of these States. The country is the finest in the world. Thirty bushels of wheat to the acre is no unusual crop, and that all harvested in May. Fine water is abundant, so is timber, &c. Regarding the protection of that country, we are assured that the civilized Indians of the Creek, Cherokee and Choctaw nations have assured the Confederate Government that if one or two regiments of their men can be mustered into the service of the Government, they stand ready to furnish fifteen to twenty thousand volunteers to meet any inroad into their own territory or that of Texas, from the Northern armies. Northern Texas can furnish as many more. Col. H. E. McCulloch, with a thousand mounted riflemen, is now there, having been dispatched by Van Dorn, and he will take charge of future military operati
A good suggestion. A Staunton correspondent, after giving an account of the surprise at Phillippi, urges the propriety of sending Henry A. Wise, with his partisan Legion, at once to Northwestern Virginia. He adds: Gen. Wise is the very man for that country and that people. He can do more with them and for them than Gen. Beauregard himself. Please say to Gen. Wise, that it is suggested that he visit President Davis without delay, and request the loan of the 600 Choctaw warriors in or about Norfolk, for four weeks only. Gen. Wise, commanding his Legion and our Choctaw friends, could settle little matters of difference which might arise between themselves on the one hand, and Carlile, late of Dayton, Rockingham county, Va., Brown of Preston, Major Gen. McLeland, of Ohio, and the crawling sympathizers with Seward and Lincoln on the other, in one lunar month; rest assured of this. Our young men who went from this county (Augusta) are noble youths; but, my dear Editors, the
Direct from the Indian country. The Fort Smith (Ark.) Times, of the 6th instant, says: We learn from Mr. George M. Aird, direct from the Seminale agency, that Opothleyoholo had collected together about 4,000 or 5,000 Indians, and about 1,300 negroes, who had gone to him with the hope of being freed — When Gen. Cooper, at the head of the Creek, Choctaw and Chickasaw regiments, with other Indians, amounting to near 5,000, advanced upon Opothleyoholo's camp, his followers fled, leaving all behind. Opothleyoholo left with a few followers, and has either gone to Salt Plains, or to Kansas Most of his followers are with Col. Cooper, and he has a very large Indian force now with him Col Cooper sent a man after Opothleyoholo, but he had not come in when Mr. Aird left.--All is quiet now. The Seminotes have all the time remained firm friends to the South.
ngham, Va., who spent six weeks in the Choctaw nation, haranguing the people until their blood was fired: Doaksvill, (Capitol of the Choctaw Nation,) October 11th, 1861. Brigadier General J. B. Floyd--Dear Sir: Having been informed by Col. Deneale that you are ready and willing to receive one or more companies of Choctaws as a part of your brigade in the Confederate service, it is with pride and patriotic pleasure that I tender to you, through him, the services of my command of Choctaw warriors to vindicate our common flag, and to aid in driving the Northern vandals from our sacred and consecrated soil. In tendering this command to the Confederate States, I am only imitating the glorious character of my warrior father, Pushinatahaw, who now sleeps upon the once honored soil of the South, but now lies beneath the iron heel of the despot, Abraham Lincoln. By patriots he was entombed in Washington city--by patriotic legions I hope to regain his ashes. My command s
uch for him, so important are his duties here and at Pensacola. The Alabama portion of the coast of Mississippi Sound is included in Bragg's department, which terminates at the Pascagoula river. Mobile, within his department is in effect menaced by the operations of the enemy in Mississippi beyond the Pascagoula, though they would have to march far inland to get across that river. Therefore, the Mississippi coast should pertain to his department rather than Lovell's, for operations from the sound coast scarcely menace New Orleans in a remote degree, separated as it is by the irrepassable width of Lake Pontchartrain. Something active should be done on the Mississippi coast, for the people have all fled, leaving much of their negro property, etc., exposed to the marauders. Our forces should picket down very close to the shore and not remain too far inland — and the same vigilance generally be observed as is on the coast this side of the Pascagovia by Bragg's forces.
