SUFFEEDSTG AMOTO THE LO7AL CHES- We have been permitted to copy the following letter detailing the present condition of the loyal' Indians of the Cherokee Nation: * Foet Qinsoir, Cherokee Nation, January 17, lgo4. Having an unexpected opponnnity to for ward yon a letter, la teas it is I will Write you a lew lines. There is so much that could be ea;d, that I know not where to begin. We are in the midst of the severest weather'l have ever expe rienced in this country. The Grand and Arkansas nvers are frozen hard..and, horsemen and teams-, cross to and lro on the ice. A view from the\river bank, with the Indian walkiug on the ice and car rying heavy Jogs of wood, remind me of regions far north of this. • The sufter.ngs hayo been great. A few persons, two Creeks aud a Shawnee, are re ported frozen to death. The women and children and soldiers have had • a feariul time of it. With and wi'hout tents, short rations; scant clothing, no housefe or shelter, these furious winds and pelting, storms, - have - beendreadfully distressing; aud at a meeting of . some of the leading men the other~night, I ‘Could not .restrain giving expression ,to 1 feelings' of ■ mingled pity and indignation. The contrast ' be- V tween the pastand: present was too oyer whelming ' to be longer born in silence. -Then*we were more than twenty thousand strong, with a Government and laws of our own. The sun shone upon our happy homes, upon our productive fields, upon our grazing heids. Now all. was changed. Car children no longer wended their way to school; the fire had ceased to. bum on the - domestic hearths, the voices of prattling children notheard around them.: Hundieds of stout men, tender women and feeble childred now rest beneath these ice-clods. Not one-head throughout the length and breadth ofthe land was pillowed in peace—; Tespectable females, w’ho had not known want, - -were nowseen shiveringaroandthe Agent’s office,, mendicants for a pair of shoes and a yard of do mestic, without a morsel of bread to eat!—while our cattle that grazed upon a! thousand hills have disappeared—our council-fires are ex tinguished, and we had the forms,-but not the substance of freemen—everything being in the hands of rulers not of their own choice. They had ...submitted long enough to empty promises from contractors for-supplying them with bread, .and should know -of the contractors when supplies would be delivered, and if they did not come in time they should seek supplies with their own arms from the enemy, as self preservation and the lives of their women and children arose above every other consideration. The"commander here ? {Colonel Wm. Phillips) I believe lias done and will do all he can to relieve the .wants.of the people. I attach no blame to him, but there is culpability somewhere, and in my opinion it -rests with the contractors. There has been no i.-suo of flour here for some time to many persons, and thwe is not only actual destitution, but positive suffering. Among the victims of violence, I regret-to add the named David Yauh, ex-Trea. surer of the nation. He was at home, a party of slx .tHen rode up to his house, ju3t after dark, called him out on the porch and shot him through? the head just above the . lelt eye. He died instantiy; his wite and daughter were pre sent, the latter walked alone that night to Mrs. Williams’s, from .ten to fifteen miles, to obtain help to bury him. Ido not know who committed : the deed. It is charged upon a party of six wh t 9 . men, supposed to be Texans or Missourians. 1 ; Jhave no further paniculars, although it was done some.time near Christmas. Col. Phillius has been ' addressed by some of the leading men in regard to farming operations, nothing definite has been fixed upon, that I am advised of. Father Essex (Missionary) dined with us to-day. He has been..robbed twice by the “secesh:” atone time : tlu>y_tpok from him a new hat that h? had made at Fayettyille, Ark., a pair of calfskin boots that he had_bronght with him the last time he was East, one or two shirts, Ac. He walked fromTahle quah. here (20. miles). A few of,the fights of other days yet glimmer in the sockets. But poor old man even his gray hairs and harmless file do not protect, him from the indignities and outrages hfwarf- ‘ . A BEBEL EXPOSUBE OF LIBBY PBISOB. [From the Bichmond Enquirer, January 5.] ; . A shrewd inquirer into the quaint philosophy of human frivolities once asked the startling qaes tion, a* What becomes of the pins r»—not of the millions which are manufactured, notof ifie mil :lions-wmch are used, hut of the millions which are lost. Any one might be tempted to ask, “What ?. °O he b * federal oflicere who go into the Bnring more thao six months of active campaigning, almost, dally hare ■ th«‘y entered tflerevsquad after squad, and yet that unfaihom aola * itservoir of humanity does not overflow. £ow. is It that; the many who go in do not thrust ■some of the many who are already there tumbling windows !

In the same manner, the Inbby takes in the captured Federais by scores, bnt lets none put; they are huddled up and jam med into eyery nook and corner; at the bathing troughs,.around the cooking stoves everywhere, ! mere is & wrangling, jostling crowd, at night the j floor of every room they occupy in the building is covered, every square inch ol it, by uneasy slum berers, lying side by side, and heel to head as ! tightly packed as iffbe prison were a huge, hu« 1 probable box of nocturnal sardines. But the an- i thorities who thus pack up the unfortunate pn- ' soners, seem to be either heedless or ignorant of ! tht se facts. It is truly surprising that some pes ; tileme has not already been the lesult of this indiscriminate herding together of human be- 1 ings, who are thus forced constantly to breath® ! an impure air, and who are allowed no ontdoor ® exercise. I They she Bid have an open space outside, how ever limited, in which to obtain some respite from the unwholesome atmospheric diet; a piece of ground with a little patch of blue sky over it, and a gush of fTesh air and a sprinkle of sunshine in it would be no tax upon the Confederate commissa nat,_ and m-ght, at least, reader supportable a captivity 'Which has become inevitable. Fresh air and sunlifbt, all physiologists tell us, are as absolutely essential to the economy of the human body as food and drink. If it should become necessary to reduce the diet o' these prisoners to cold com bread they will not have strength enough In them even to masticate it. . Exercise indoors is but a poor substitute, even provided the crowded condition of the prison would allow of it. The only apartment in the building where they can now walk is one of the lower rooms; used as their kitchen. The passer by may near now and then of a morning the most demoniacal shouts proceeding from the gloomy in terior of this room, and might really be led to be lieve that a serious set-to at fisticufi's was in pro- He would soon discover, however, that it was only a desperate effort at a game of foot-b&ll.
