J ohn Ross —The Christian Advocate
of the 20, contains an interesting article
touching the history, &c., of John Ross,
late chief of the Cherokee Nation, who
quite recently died in Washington City.
In some respects, Ross might have been
considered a great man. As a diplomat*
ist (where cunning and sagacity) would
avail, Ross perhaps had few equals. But
the Advocate is mistaken with regard to
Ross’ early action relative to the rebel
lion; He did not “ firmly maintain neu
tral ground.” There is no doubt but that
the aid. of his people was at one time
pledged to the South; but that cunning
sagacity so peculiar to the man, finally
prompted him to assume neutral preten
sions. *He was emphatically the man to
wait for “ something to turn up.” His
action in this matter was the result of a
two fold motive. John R. Ridge, his
hereditary foe and competitor for the chief
tainship of the tribe, was then In Califor
nia, and fof a long time, Ross could not
know definitely how Ridge stood, and
fearing lest he should bring up on the
same side with that gentleman, chose to
» be for the time, “ neutral.” Ascertain.
ing at a later period‘ that Ridge had taken
positive grounds against Lincoln’s admin
istration, no alternative was left boss but
to take the other side. This he did
though tho support he accorded Mr.
Lincoln’s adminiitration for a long time
_ was of that quasi kind, that left him ample
room to espouse the other side at any
time the fortunes olTwar or the action of
John Ridge might render such a move
expedient. From what we know of the
history, doings and aims of Ross, we are
tolerably sure, that, had he known from
the start where Ridge stood, he would have
espoused the South with utmost cor
diality, Ridge having Nearly proclaimed
himself in favor of the war against the
South; though a little latex, becoming dis
gusted with the imbecility and blunders
of the administration, he felt callad upon
to take sides against it. This summer-
sault fixed the status of Ross’ unionism.
Mr. Ridge is now at the East endeav-
oring- to get' himself rei!
eiustated to the
chieftainship which he cla
daims as belong-
¿ng to his family. He will probably be
the successor of John T'
Ros^, who be con-
tends ruled the Cherokee
ee Nation through
usurpation alone.
--- I -—
F arms to R ent .—Scarcely a day pas
ses that we do not hear or hear of, the
enquiry being made for a “ farm to rent.”
There are doubtless dozens of farms in the
Country for rent, but how a stranger is to
find them is the mb. We will suggest a
plan which, were ; it adopted we think
would greatly facilitate matters in this
behalf. Let some^. ona, say in Lafayette,
a lawyer for insance, set about making
himself a medium of intelligence, for the
benefit of strangers who come amongst us,
charging a reasonable fee fox services, and
to this end let him open a book in which
to record descriptions location etc-, of
farms for sale or rent. Once it is known
that an enterprise of this character is in
operation, parties having lands for sale
lease or rent, would readi y report them.
By this means all parties mould be accom
odated, and the county benefited. Will
some one embark in this Undertaking ?

the utmost impunity, a large number of
freshly-caught and venomous rattlesnakes
of a very large size, twisting-them around
his arin8 and body, placing a numberl of
them in his bosom and around his neck,
