Staunton Spectator, And General Advertiser

EMIGRATING INDIANS—The tribes of Indians yet remaining within the territories of the States, are one by one yielding up their ancient homes, and establishing themselves in their new ones in the "Far West." We learn from the St. Louis Bulletin of the 12th instant that the steamboat Itasca had gone up to Fort Gibson with 500 Creeks on board, all in good health and spirits, who had been collected in the old Chickasaw country, and were under charge of Captain Morris, U.S.A. On the 22d ult., the De Kalb passed up, with 500 Chickasaws on board: on the 27th, the Kentuckian with 800 more of the same tribe, under charge of Mr. Kanderslice, and on Tuesday morning the 28th, the John Nelson, with another large party, also went up. This unhappy race appear, at length, to be making up their minds that their fate is inevitable.

The Bulletin adds—“The State of Arkansas is at present a perfect thoroughfare;—many of the Savages are on the march, and soon the fierce Seminole and the powerful Cherokee will be added to the stormy elements, concentrated on our Western frontier. The recommendation of the President is not a useless one, to erect fortresses, and station an increased military force in that quarter.”—Balt. Amer.
