A COMPANY OF CAVALRY has been recently raised and organized in
Crawford County; it consists of about 50 members, under the command of
Capt. Frederick Fletcher. Fifty Swords, and the same number of Pistols,
for the use of the company, were sent up in the steamboat Florence, from
the depot of public arms at this place.
We are also informed that a Company of Cavalry is raising in Peconery
settlement, in the upper part of this county, and that upwards of 40
names have been signed to the roll of members.
It gives us pleasure to notice these evidences of the public spirit of
our citizens. Should the Indians become troublesome, as their movements
along the whole western frontier, for some time past, seem to indicate,
these Companies of Cavalry will be eminently serviceable in affording
protection to our frontier settlements.

OBITUARY [Communicated]
The feelings of regret and sorrow, felt at the departure of a valued
friend, may sometimes be suspected of pourtraying in too high colors,
the merits and virtues of that friend. He who is the subject of this
notice, having possessed many of the estimable qualities of our nature,
the writer of this will not be suspected of exaggeration, by those who
had the pleasure of an intimate acquaintance with him in his lifetime.
Died, at his residence at Hopefield, Phillips County, A.T. on the 27th
December 1823, Benjamin Fooy, Esq. supposed to have been about 65 years
of age. Mr. Fooy was a native of Holland, and came in early life to
America. Some 30 years ago he settled in the vicinage of Hopefield, and
during the greater part of that time, resided on his farm at that place.
Until within a few years previous to his death, Mr. Fooy was almost
constantly engaged in the service of the Territory in which he lived,
either as a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, or as a magistrate of
his county. In the performance of the duties of these offices, he never
failed to afford that satisfaction, which a general accuracy of decision
is calculated to ensure. But it is in the private walks of life, that
the intrinsic value of character is to be sought, and there indeed, the
amiable character of the deceased appears peculiarly conspicuous. In
addition to all those endearing qualities which constitute the fond
husband, indulgent father, and good citizen, the deceased possessed in a
rare and eminent degree, that generous philanthropy and hospitality so
grateful to the object of distress, and to the stranger; and which, upon
the banks of the Mississippi, tended essentially to the benefit of the
orphan, and to the comfort of the way-worn, and often times diseased,
traveller. But, alas! He who delighted in doing good to his fellow
beings is no more. He has gone to receive that just reward which a life
here below cannot give - leaving behind him a large family, to bewail a
loss which to them is irreparable.

TO THE PUBLIC
TAKE NOTICE --- That I, the undersigned, did on the 23d day of February
1824, at the town of Batesville, in the territory of Arkansas, give and
execute unto a certain Charles Kelly of said place, two notes of hand
bearing interest from the date; one for six hundred dollars, due the
first day of next September; and the other for seven hundred and fifty
dollars, due twelve months after that date.
Now said notes were given by me for a judgment which said Kelly told me
he had against the estate of Skelton T. Demoss, deceased; and as I have
found, upon examination, that said Kelly had no such judgment, this is
to caution all persons from taking an assignment of said notes, as I
will not pay either, unless compelled by law.

WE ARE CREDIBLY informed, that a person, answering the description
given in the following article, [which was published in the Gazette of
the 3d ult] was seen in Cadron township, in this county, on Saturday
last. He came to the house of Mr. William Carlisle, living on Cadron
Creek, and stated that he had been lost in the woods for several days,
and requested to be set across the Creek. One of Mr. Carlisle's sons
went with him to the creek; and Mr. Carlisle, suspecting from several
suspicious circumstances, that he was the same Benjamin Clark, described
below, followed them in a few minutes after. On his calling to them to
stop, the fellow took to his heels, and made his escape into the woods.
They pursued him for a considerable distance but could not overtake him.
Several other persons soon joined in the pursuit, which was continued
during that day and Sunday, but they had not succeeded in taking him
when our informant left there. He was armed with a rifle and a large
butcher knife, had a large bundle on his back, and was excessively dirty
and filthy in his appearance.

FIRE --- We regret to learn, that the store of Maj. Walter Webber,
in the Cherokee Nation was destroyed by fire, two or three weeks since,
together with all its contents. Maj. Webber is a Cherokee Chief, and has
amassed considerable wealth by his industry and enterprize; and his loss
by this calamity, we understand, is estimated at not less than ten
thousand dollars.

CHEROKEE AGENCY
DARDANELLE, ARKANSAS TERRITORY
March 4, 1824
A BAY HORSE, six or seven years old, and about fourteen and a half hands
high, was brought to, and left at this Agency, on the 26th of last
month, by a Cherokee Chief. He is said to have been stolen, by an
Indian, from the Surveyor, or his party, who ran the boundary line
between the state of Missouri and this Territory, while running that
line. The following may serve as a farther description of said horse: He
has a thin short mane and switch tail, a white star or spot in his
forehead, and several white spots upon each side of the back bone, near
his withers. His hind feet and legs, half way up to the hock joints, are
also white. He can pace, trot, canter, &c. and moves pleasantly under
the saddle; but is very poor, considerably affected by the scratches,
and has a sore back.
The owner can get him by applying to the Agent with satisfactory proofs
of ownership and paying the expenses which have been or maybe
necessarily incurred on account of him.
