Alexandria Gazette & Daily Advertiser

A gentleman who arrived in this city a day or two ago from Alabama territory, informs us, that about the 14th of June last, he entered the west side of the tract of country claimed by the Cherokee nation of Indians, on the Warrior road, and travelled through to the east. The Indians appeared friendly: the half-breeds not hostile, but more sour and unsocial than he had expected to find them. The whites who reside among them were also generally unaccommodating. To one of the whites who appeared more pleasant and communicative than the others, our informant remarked that the half-breeds did not manifest that friendly social disposition towards their white brethren sojourning through the nation, that they have been celebrated for by some travellers; he replied that the half-breeds had generally selected lands and opened farms, from which they realized considerable profits annually, and that the white people, as well as the half-breeds, were dissatisfied at the almost certain prospect of the Cherokee country being given in exchange to the United States for lands west of the Mississippi River, at a treaty which was to have commenced on the 24th ult. at Highwassie.
