Admiral
We find iii the Raleigh Observer
the following letter from that gal
lant sailor, Admiral Semmes, whose
death occurred a few days ago. Lord
Houghton, as he is known in English
literature, (or more familiarly still as
Richard Morrukton Milnes,) is a poet
and ' author of decided cleverness.
His wife, "with the aid of a bevy of
high-toned dames, made a large and
beautJIiiLConfederate flag, richly em
broidered, of silk and satin, intend
ing it as ji present to Admiral
Semmes. Circumstances prevented
its transmission nntil the fall of 1873,
when Mr. Appletou Oaksmith, of
Carteret, seut it over in the "Trouba
dour" to Beaufort. Here is the let
ter: Mobile, Jan. 14, 1874.
Mr. Appleton Oaksmith:
JJear Sir: I have received the "flag"
by express in good order and condi
tion, for which I owe you many
"thanks.' Should you meet Lady de
Houghton next summer, as you anti
cipate, please present my regards to
her,and say that the valuable present
she has made mc shall descend as a
.cherished heir loom in my "family.
Tell Lady de II. that ray wife and I
daughters, and neighbors generalfyfj

rich materials of the historical ban

centuries. - i

Will West. He has come with Ono-
lih (Black Fox) to interpret a letter
from Washington. After read ins
and hearing the letter m English and
Cherokee, Will West is ready : to
go up "doco." XSow ' doco is
from 2,000 to 4,000 feet above the
sea. Its water is clear as crystal, and
its vaiiey is r ten as tne sou or our
beautiful Mattamuskeet.. This is the
wild mountain home of the Chero-
kees. -They also follow ;1 the creek
down to Oconctullih river On this
stream is the magnificent farnv of
Sawnuke (Flying Squirrel),! the Chief.
oreorge Bushyhead lives here also, in
his little cabin. 'He has passed tor a
preacher, and m wind Jed white men
out of money, but ; a white man
opened a store With his capital, and
very soon lh.e white man had -all-the
capital and left Bushy head with a sad
experience only. 1 he Indians have
no schools now. . , Mr. . McCarthy
started four; one on Soko, at the
Methodist church, one at Birdtowh,
in the Baptist churchy one in the
Cove, and one in Maeon, with Jim
Pe.ckerwood's division. But for some
causes the schools did not prosper,.'
and. Mr. .McCarthy was discharged.
He now goes to Weaverville, and
the Indians are left in ignorance.- One
man, Jim Crow,- went fifteen miles to
see if his boys could go l to Oxford.
He did not know that the school was
open to orphans only. The Indians
ive mainly on corn, beans, and pota
toes. I hey put calico buttons on
their shirts, and flowers and feathers
in their nats. in the purchase of
crockery they prefer the gaudy.'
They sing well in church, and listen
to preaching with great patience.
Their leading preachers are Black
Fox and David Owl. Both seem to
be sober and sensible.. They-admire
the owl for his silence ; and circum
spection, and many, take that name,
A while man was preaching at Bird
gwn' vid Uwi as interpreter
He used the word "conglomerated "
and Mr. Owl declared there was no
such word in Cherokee, and called
another man to be "iinguister." The
Indians are semi-civilized, j semi-religious,
and semi-superstitious, and
semi-suspicious on account of fre
quent swindles. ; ; . i . ,

Proposed Reorganization ot ilte Ger-

A week or two ago we took occasion to
suggest the reorganization of the German
Volunteers, and we are glad to see that an
effort in that direction is to be -made this :
evening, at a meeting to be' held at the'
armory of the Wilmington Light Infantry.
We hope there will be a large turnout on
the part of our German citizens on this oc-
casion, and a that reorganization of the old
est German military company in the State
may be eff ected without delay. . -
