The following note is from a gentleman recently from the Cherokee country, whose memory is at least as good as Col. Nelson's:--N. Y. Journal of Commerce.

Messrs. Editors,---Col. Charles H. Nelson alleges that his severe treatment of the Missionaries was on account of their instigating the Cherokees to rescue them from his power; and as proof, intimated that a gun was fired near Mr. Worcester's for that purpose.

The treatment complained of was endured by the Missionaries in June, and the firing of the gun was in August,---entirely without the knowledge or concern of Mr. Worcester.

Yours respectively,

EARTHERN (sic) WARE.
