We have been favored with a copy of a communication on the subject ot our early Indian war in North Carolina, which wras produced by a letter from honorable Lyman C. Draper, Secretary of the State Historial Society, of Wis consin, desiring "tne route ot General Williamson's Cherokee expedition of 177G, in the western part ot our State." Nearly all those who were engaged in this expedition nowv quietly sleep the rest that "knows no waking ; ' and but few of the present age are aware that at an early clay, tue quiet ana lovely region of the transmountain country of our State was traversed by an army, in all "the pride, pomp and circumstance of glorious war." It js to be regretted that Mr. Draper's inquiries had not been earlier made. Gov, Swain, who was a native of this section, had a minute knowledge ot this expedition, as of every other historical question relative to the State. But he is dead, and the key to much of this information is buried with him. Yet, from his letters to me, the researches ot the late Judge Murphy,, and from facts gathered lrom the cotemporaries of those who lingered after this campaign had ended ; (they now, too, have departed ;) and from an article iu the University Magazine, I am in some small degree, enabled to com ply with the request made, and trace "the route of General Williamson's Cherokee expedition of 1776." The Cherokee Indians owned at this time all the territory west of the Biue Ridge in North Carolina, and much that is now the domain oi Georgia aud Tennessee. In the summer of 177G, these Indians committed tearful depredations on the whites in these lroutier settlements. Men were killed by them in secret and in the most brutal manner. Women aud children was butchered wi hout re morse, houses burned and fields laid waste by these savuges. This roused the spirit ot tlie people. -Simultaneously North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia raised troops to subdue them. The troops ot North Carolina were commanded by General Griffith Ruther ford, and were 2,400 strong, some say o,000. The South Carolina troops were commanded by General Williamson, aud were 2,000 strong, and the Virginia troops were commanded by Colonel Christian. General Griffith Rutherford' is well known'iu the History ot North Caroli na. I have in my posession some origi naljettcrs of his that show he was like Bientieriiasset, "a native of Ireland," if not "a man of letters ;" but Fmvc as am his actions that he was every inch a soldier, lie lived for a long time near Salisbury, and as early as 1775 repre- sented the county (Rowan) in the Leg islature, and again in 1777-78 and '79, and from 1783 to 1780. lie served not only in this campaign against the Indians but in the Continental Army, as a Briga dier General, in the ill-lated battle ot Camden (August 1780) ..'where' he was taken prisoner. He rtmoyed to Ten nessee, w as in public lile there, (speaker of the Assembly,) where he died. Ihe Statesof North Cc.rohpa and Itnnessee preserve his name, in counties calied after him ; and a descendant ot his is, at this time, the Third Auditor of the Treasury of the United States. . The forces under his command in this Cherokee campaign, in the latter part ot August 1770 camped near Pleas ant Gardens, now in McDowell county, at Old Fort, which it is stated was built by him, crossed the Ridge at the Swanauoa Gap and the French Broad River at "the War Ford :" they then followed Hominy Creek to its source, and passed over to Pigeon River on the upper road which passes Colonel Jo seph Cathey's; aud then Richland Creek to its source. 1 hey then crossed the mountains near McLures, and fol lowed Scott's Creek to its mouth. This stream is so called from John Scott , a trader among the Cierokees. Crossing the Tuckaseege River, they came to the Cowee Mountain. V hen nearer the top of this mountain they were fired on by the Indians, but the Indians imme - diately fled. Without further moles tation the army ainved at the little Tenuesse River, and passing down Wa tauga Creek, encamped on the west ide of said River near a large Indian Mound, at a town called then by the Indians Nequasse, but which is now known by the more civil ized name of Franklin. Here they re mained a day ; and then marched down the river to a town called Cowee, and encamped. Here they awaited the ar rival of the South Carolina troops. Alter waiting foi some time, and hearing nothing lrom theui, General Rutherford tesolved to udvance on the Vally Towns on the Hi wassee,eaving a strong force at Cowee, where by appointment tlie S. C, troops were to meet him. He crossed the Nantabala Mountatn, where he was met by the enemy in force, and a severe battle was there delivered. The Indians, with some military strategy occupied two ridges of mountains which formed an acute angle: at which Rutherford's men had to pass. This vantage point, they maintained with resolution and desperation, discharging their rifies with fearful effect, and concealing themselves after firing, by the ridges -f mountain. Rutherford's troops suffered severely ; but alter a desperate struggle drove the Indians from their position, and the In dians fled in great cootusiou. General Rutherford proceeded to the Hi wassee towns, arid burut them, cut down the growing crops, and took some prison ers. General Williamson's toices joined him at Cowee soon after the battle. This delay in joining General Ruther ford was chieily caused by a severe skirmish that h had with the Indians near the present town of Franklin. With his force of 2,000 men he came through Rabun Gap, and passing along the Tennessee river to the place ol rendezvous,about nine miles from Frak- lin he fell into an ambuscade prepared by the savages in a narrow defile here he lo3t thirteen men killed and thirty wounded ; this attack was vigorous and NORTH sanguinary, and would have proved fatal to the whole command had not Edward Hampton, with only thirty regulars attacked the Indians in the rear, and forced them to retreat. This gallanty of Hampton saved Williamson and his troops. Hampton's courage had been intensified by the appalling news that his brothers wife "little one's and all" and been just before butchered in cold blood by these Indians. It is recorded of him during his fierce and fiery charge in hi8 haste be rammed a abullet down his rifle ; neglecting to put in the powder first. He perceived his mistake, and nothing daunted, sat quietly down on the grass while the leaden storm raged on every side ; un breeched his gun, drew the load, re rjeloaded, and continued his work of slaughter. After this affair General- Williamson advanced unmolested to Cowee, Aut aav the object of the campaign had been accomplish he returned to South Carolina by the route up the Flivassee General Ruth erford returned home and disbanded his troops at Salisbury. ' This same chastisement subdued the Cherokees, and they sued for peace. A treaty of lasting peace was made with them at the Long Island on the Holstcn River, on the 20th of July 1777. The Commissioners lor North Carolina ap pointed by Governor Caswell were Wil liam Sharp, Waigbstill Avery, Robert Lanier and Joseph Winston. A regiment from Guilford county was in this campaign ; James Martin was Colonel aud John Paisly was Lieutenant Colonel; names since well appreciated in their descendants. Samuel Lowrie, of Mecklenburg county, who was afterwards one of the Judges of the Superior Courts of the State, was a private soldier in thU cam paign. Near Waynesville he found a Beech tree, aud on it was carved the figures 1700. Years after, when tiding this circuit as Judge, he remembered this circumstance and went to the place aud showed to his brother lawvers the figures., When we recollect that this date was long anterior to any settlement by the whites in this section, for Daniel Boone, who traveised much much of our country and lived for a long time in Western North Carolina was not born, historic research may well be exercised to know by whom these figures were cut. Rev. J-uics Hall, long and favorably known as' a Presbyterian Minister, ol Iredell county, was chaplain to the the North Carolina troops. His histo ry, then, and afterwards, proves that he was as ready to draw the sword for liber ty, as to preach the Cross to sinners. He olten preached to the troops while en camped at Cowee :.. with an Indian mound for a pulpit, the hardy troops lor his audience, surrounded by en chntinir scenery, here were the first tldingS Of Salvation nrw.r.w..'I, .--- lovelv reirion of our country, to fallen man.

A Question for Lawyers. The finding of the money by Nathan Field has given rise to much controversy, and our people are greatly puzzled to kuow who is really the legal owner of the prize. Morally and equitably it belongs to Nathan Field, the finder, but lawyers are taking a different view of the sub- iect. We therefore present some of their surmises and leave, the reader to draw his own conclusion. Col. Yarborough, deceased, evidently owned the property when the money was left under the building, some say it undoubtedly belongs to his estate. Maj. Hope was the lessee and had possession at the time. Therefore his claims are equally tenable. Mr. McNider, the clerk at the time, accidentally left the safe open and some thief stole out just such a package, watch and,ll, and as he had to make it good, Mr. Mc. will no doubt press his claim with much vigor.. The money having been 'de posited under the old Catholic church and not claimed, d ies it not necessarily become church property, and should it not be turned over to Father McNamara of this city ? Mr. T. II. Briggs, the contractor, agrees to" rebuild and remodel ths Yar borough Housl? for a stipulated price. He is to remove the old buildings, rub bish, &c, and lor said removal is to have all old lumber, stones and brick and all other things thereon ; remaining. Now is not this package included be yond doubt ? Mr. Briggs sub let the removal of said old church to Mr. O. E. Smith, the great house movist, with each and'f "ery privilege thereto belong ing consequently, is not mr. omitu me rightlul owner ? Dr. Blaeknall, the present, occupant of the Yarborough House has a lease on the property lor five years, with all the franchises and appurtenances thereto connected. Now cau any one doubt his right? Mr. Wm. Grimes, the owner of the Hotel may, with good reason, contend that the aforesaid package was no part or parcel of -the houses, materials or grounds, and in contracting for the work or making his lease, he did not include this finding privilege, nor should he consent to have such valuables peaceably removed from his premises, but require the package to be immediately returned to its former place, under the house. "Lastly, Fields is the finder, and in quiet posses sion oi the property, ana as pos session is a strong point in law, will he not be apt to hold on until the right Of some one else can be very char ily proved to him so as to leave no shadow of doubt on his mmd ? We rathsr think so. Fields has become quite a lion. . The livery men waui . him a fine horse and baggy, and had him riding half the day Sunday. The kuuu looinng young man with sewing machines wants him to buy one ot his machines. His daughter should nave a piano, says another gentleman, (who has one too many,) while a watch lor nis wife is offered below N. Y. cost if he will just come up and iook at the stock. His lile should be insured in the T 1 ' . . says . Lawyer r um pro pose3 to keep him in quiet possession of the money tor half, and will take charge of it until the whole matter is decided. He has thus been interviewed out ot his life, and had propositions enough to turn his head up side down. Notwithstanding all this we present our claim lor iavoraoie consiueraiiou and trust he may not turn a deaf ear to our advice, which is this: Let him advertise in. the Daily News lor one year. At the expiration of that time, if no legal owner comes forward, then we will tqually divide the treasure, and then and there let the whole matter forever rest, during the year we to keep possession of the box. In the meantime we should. like to have tne opinion ot gentlemen learned in the law, and w hen they all agree on me legal owner we wiil make the announce ment.
