Return of the Prairie Party.—It will be recollected by our readers that a number of the leading Cherokees, of the Treaty and Old Settler parties, went out on the prairies of Texas early in September last for the purpose of exploring the country, and probably with the remote intention of removing, provided an arrangement for that purpose could be effected with the General Government. The party made a pretty thorough examination of the country, and we are informed are highly pleased with it, particularly with the country high up on the Colorado river. We surmise that it is not improbable that these portions of the Cherokee people will solicit from the Government a suitable scope of country, with an eye to removal, and as a means of terminating the everlasting Cherokee difficulties.—Van Buren (Ark.) Whig.
