FAYETTEVILLE, A'. C.
Incidents of Frontier Fife Thirty-Five tcur Aff.
In the Michigan Journal of the 13th instant,
we find the following narrative, whiqh we have
never met with before, embracing stirring inci
dents of border history, in which it will be seen
the present venerable Senator from Michigan
bore a responsible and hazardous part:
From the Cleavland Herald.
Upon the "Planet" Lake Superior Excursion
we met Mr. C. C. Trowbridge, of Detroit, who
among many facts connected with the Indians
of the upper country, related one which does
such honor to the courage of General Cass that
we take the liberty of relating it.
In 1820 an expedition nnder Gen Cass, then
Territorial Governor of Michigan, ws made
along the shores of Lake Sdpcrior and the head
waters of the Mississippi, for the purpose of
curbing tlie hostility existing between the dif
ferent Indian tribes and the cultivation of amitj'
between the Indians and the whites. It was
an expedition of over four thousand miles in
extent, and performed in bark canoes, setting
out from Detroit. Gen Cass's suite consisted of
Capt. David B. Douglass, of the Engineers';
Henry C. Schoolcraft, Mineralogist; Alex.
Wolcott, Physician ; Lieut. Mackay, of the A r-
tillery; li. A. rorsyth. Secretary; James I).
Doty, Journalist; A. R. Chase and C. C. Trow
bridge, Assistants to Capt. D.
At the Saut Ste. Marie the party entered
iuto negotiations with the Indians for the pur
chase of a piece of land upon which the garrison
now stands. The lavish expenditure of British
money with fhe annual presentation of gifts to
the natives, and the niggardly policy of onr
Government towards them, had inspired the
Indians with respect for the one nation and con
tempt for the other. The war, then lately
closed, had increased British influence to our
injury, and the presence of a British garrison
on the Canadian side of the river was a foun
tain of bad counsel to the red man and a place
of safety in case of need. The feeling, there
fore, of the Indians was not friendly towards
this expedition, and the enterprise was one of
great danger.
Gen. Cass invited the chiefs to his tent, in
the centre of which was a pile of tobacco, a
part of which was to be smoked on the occasion
and the residue presented to the Indians at the
close of the council. The chiefs appeared en
costume San eulofes, sons everything save the
"l.reech cloth.',
The leader, a tall, muscular fellow of thirty
years, with the devil in his ugly face, was an
j exception. He wore, besides the breech-
cloth,' a single eagle's feather gracefully at
tached to the top of his head, a red coat with
narrow skirts, and two gold epaulcttesof a Brit
ish Major General. "Uncle Sam" dispensed no
such favors to his red children. Gov. Cass ex-
plained the object of his mission to be thecnlti-
vatton of friendship between them and their
deadly Sioux enemies, and also between all the
red children and their father, the President.
To this end our Government had planted mili-
j tarv posts anions- the Sionx on the Mississippi.
t ' rj ---- - - li'
uid wished to do the same at that point. The
Governor also explained that, although by the ;
I treaty of G recnville the territory at the Saut!
belonged to us it having previously been pnr- ;
j chased of their fathers, once by the great King
I of Wamilcgoshe, or Frenchmen, and subsequent
I lv bv the Sagenosh, or Englishmen vet he '
whs willing to pay them also for what he wish-j
ed, namely, a parcel of land four miles square. :
ihe chiefs were surly and taciturn, and nrgn
meiit and coaxim? were of no avail, and Gov.
Cass was compelled to tell them that as sure as
the sun should rise on the morrow so surely
should their great father the President est ab-j
Iish the proposed military post. The Governor
advised them to listen to friendly counsel and
avail themselves of the last opportunity for ob
taining compensation. Here the Governor
I,anPet OF a riT')'i a"d ordered his interpreter,
Wiliiam Rilev. to light the pipe. Having
smoked thereof, it was offered to the chief, who not very common in this part of the world,
refused it, aiKl committed the grossest political ; A whole family consisting of seven persons,
insult known to the savage code !y kicking over father, mother, and five little ones, rather poor

train of chieftains. j and Third, to get a drink. They had come
The Indians walked rapidly up the river ! afoot all the way from North Carolina, some
about half a mile to a vising ground where their seven hundred mites, and were on their way to
lodges were erected, and immediately hoisted j Arkansas.
in front of their camp a larsrc Rritish Hag. The wind was blowing cold yesterday, and
This act was reported to Gov. Cass, who, upon ;
the instant, commanding none to accompany
him save the interpreter, walked rapidly into
the camp of these excited and now deadly sava
ged red men. seized the Rritish flag, threw it i
upon the ground, broke the staff, and, ordering
the interpreter to roll up the flag and carry it
to the Governor's camp, told the Indians that
if they dared repeat the insult he would lire
upon them. The Indians stood amazed at the
daring of the Governor thus alone to enter
their camp and thus to threaten them, as the
entire force of his expedition consisted of but 11
soldiers, 12 Canadian voyaguers, 9 friendly
Indians, 2 interpreters, a suite of eight, and a
small escort to that point of 25 soldiers under
Lieut. John Pierce, brother of the President.
In ten minutes from the time Gov. Cass with
such fearlessness carried from the camp of these
warriors the flag, every woman and child, and
their tent equipage, were on the way in bark
canoes from the Indian camp towards the Brit
ish fort across the river, and George Johnson
informed the Governor that an attack on the
coming night was planned by the furious war
riors. Of the nine friendly Indians, all (save
one noble fellow) surrendered their arms and
resolved to remain neutral. The suite buckled
on their belts, and, armed to the teeth, were
out with their small band of soldiers, as dark a
night as ever dragged its weary hours, in mo
mentary expectation of the scalping knife and
tomahawk of a numerically superior force of
deadly savages, fired by hatred and by the cer
tainty of crushing their moral foe at a blow.
Day dawned after a slepeless night, and this
band of brave men were spared a scene which
would inevitably have cost many lives
It was subsequently ascertained that a delib
erate plan had been formed for the massacre of
every one of Gov. Cass's party upon its entrance
into the country, and . that several hundred
warriors were within call near the Saut at the
time of the eouncil for that purpose. This plan
was thwarted in part by the daring bravery of
Gov. Cass on the occasion of his perilous visit
to their camp, and particularly through the
efforts of Mrs. Johnson, (Mother of George
Johnson, and daughter of the great chief of
Lake Superior,) who passed the whole of that
fearful night with the hostile chiefs in unremit
ted efforts to dissnadc them from their blood
thirsty resolution. From an exceedingly inter
esting daily journal of that remarkable canoe
expedition along the hunting grounds of nntnme
able savages, kept by Mr Trowbridge, we copy
an entry made on the morning after the expect
ed attack. In speaking of the friendly inter
ference of Mrs. Johnson the diary says:
"This influence and the courage that never
knew fear on the part of our chief has saved
probably hundreds of lives, and given ns peacea
ble entrance to a conntry whose territory skirts
an inland sea co-extensive with the Baltic, and
which must before, long be added by cession to
the millions upon millions of acres already com
posing Uncle Sam's farm."
We should have before mentioned that on
the following afternoon a council was held, the
amende honorahlc made, and the treat' signed.
Bp.ioham Youxu Excitei. At latest ac
counts Brigham Voting was awfully excited.
He had been making a speech, and told in very
pathetic terms how, according to his instruc
tions, the principal 'Mormons opened their
houses to the United States troops who were
quartered among them last winter and how-
these troops made love by wholesale
to the
.Mormon women and how deplorable success
ful they were. Brigham Young says:
Past experience has taught the brethren that
in ffiture it will probably be the best policy to
let soldiery quarter by themselves, and I am
perfectly willing.
If persons come here and behave like gentle
men they shall enjoy their rights, and wc will
enjoy otifs or fight to the death. As to again
suffering the wickedness and misrnle of foul
spirits that come into on rt midst, and are trea
ted by us as gentlemen, I will not.
I do not know what I shall say next Winter
if such men make their Appearance here as
were some last winter. I know what I think
I shall say if they play the same game again.;
Let the women be ever so bad, sa help me God,
we will slay them.
What especially maddened Brigham was the
fact that quite a number of the Mormon girls
concluded to follow the bold soldier boys on
their march to California, preferring the land
of gold and the soldiers' company to the harems
of the Salt Lake Palestine. Brigham says:
The men who coaxeA them (the girls) awa
did not intend to take them to California. If
any offer to do the same thing again in these
mountains, "judgment shall be laid to the line
and righteousness to the plummet :" and thev
shall say that Brigham docs not lie.
In the course of a speech on the l"th of Jnlv,
Brigham throws down the gauntlet to the Gen
tiles in the following stj'le.
We want none of their money, and if thev
( are not disposed to send it here, I care nothing
.about their money's coming, and this proves to
me and should to von, that I do not care about
a man's getting one dime appropriated to this
Territory. But we will send a Delegate who
will do no hurt; and if it were not that the hue
and cry of "treason against the General Gov
ernment" would be made, we would not send a
Delegate at all; or were it not that they would
say, "Xow yon have proof sufficient that the
Mormons mean to secede from the Union, as
they have sent no Delegate;" and thus hatch
up a pretext for commencing fresh hostilities
against us.
Though I may not be Governor here, my
power will not be diminished. Xo man they
can send here will have much influence with
this community, unless he is the man of their
I clioiee. Let them send who they will, and it
' does not diminish my influence one particle.'
As I said, the first time I spoke on this stand,
j my governorship, and every other ship under
i my control, are aided and derive direct advan-
tages from iny position in the priesthood.
Romance in Ral Life A Strange Sceke.
W e were witness yesterday morning to a scene
the little ones with their bare feet and just from
a warmer clime, seemed ill able to bear it, but
murmured not. Some of our charitable citizens
gathered around, and in a few moments collec
ted and gave them $20 in monev and some
shoes. Who shall say what hardships they
have passed through on their long journey?
Who shall tell the weariness of those little feet
when night came on how heavy their bright
eyes grew or how soundly they slept till early
dawn? The mother carried on iter head a bun
dle and in her arms a babe, not more than six
mouths old; one little boy bravely bore np un
der a heavy bundle on his head, doubtless chan
ged w 1 1 h one of his companions; a little toddling
girl of three or four years, with her red bare
feet, moved glibly along, as brave as the
bravest. Louisville is doubtless the first great
city they ever saw, and the ten thousand ob
jects of interests at every step, could not fail
to attract their constant attention, allowing
them for a time to forget, the weary distance
they have come, and the still longer journey
before them Louisville ( Ky,) Democrat 20A tilt.
A Texan Goddess Diaxa. Within a few
miles of the city of Austin, there lives a lady
whose accomplishments for the ball or drawing
room. If equalled, are not surpassed by any in
the State. This lady has, in the last eight
months, killed three bears, two of enormous
size, several deer, and considerable small game.
She has, moreover, in her possession, a beauti
ful and powcrfull stallion of the Mustang breed,
which she caught with the "lasser" on the prai
ries and "broke it" herself. She will follow
the mountain or "mule eared" rabbits over
places which have caused the heart of many an
old banter to quail. She has frequently been
known, when following a wotrnded deer, to
plunge into the river with her horse aud con
tinue the pursuit. .

Facts ft boil t (lie Human Body
There are two hundred and eight bones in
the human body, exclusive of the teeth. These
bones are composed of animal alid earthy ma
terials; the former predominating in youth, and
the latter in Oid age, rendering the bone brittle.
The most important of the bones is fhe spine,
which is composed of twenty-four small bones
called the vertebrae, one on top of the other,
curionsly hooked together, and fastened by elas
tic ligaments, forming a pillar, so to speak, by
which the human frame is supported.
The bones are moved by the muscles, of
which there are more than five liHndfcd, The
red meat of beef, the fat being excluded, is tho
muscular fabric of the ox. There are two setts
of muscles, one to draw the bone one way,
and another to draw it back again. We can
not better describe the muscles than by com
paring them to fine elastic threads, bound up
in their cases of skin. Many muscles termi
nate in tendoi.s, which are stout cords such as
may be seen traversing lhe back of the hand,
just within the skin.' and which can be seen to
move when the hand is opened or shut.- Every
motion we make, even the involnntary one of
breathing, is performed through the agency of
the muscles.
In adtilts there are about fifteen quarts of
blood, each quart weighing about two pounds.
This blood is of two kinds, the arterial and
venous. The first is the pure blood as it leaves
the heart to nourish the frame, and is-of a
bright vermillion color. The last is the blood
as it retnrns to the heart, loaded with the im
purities of the body, to be there refined, and is
of a purple hue. Every pulsation of the heart
sends out about two tunics of arterial blood,
and as there are from seventy to eighty beats
in a minute, a hogshead of blood passes through
t he heart every hour. In fevers the palpations
are accelerated; the waste of the body goes on
faster than it can be recuperated;- and eonse
qoently death ensues if the fever is not cbeeked.
The stomach is the boiler, if We may fise
such a figure, which drives the human engine.
Two setts of muscles, crossing each other trans
versely, turns the food over and over, churning
it np in the gastric juice till it has been re-,
dueed to the consistency of thin paste.- This
process requires from two fo four hours. Emerg
ing from the stomach, the food enters the small
intestines, where it is mixed with bile and1 the
pancreatic juice, and cottverfed into chyle.
These small intestines are twenty-four feet
long, closely packed, of course, and surrounded
through their whole length with small tubes,
which act like suckers, and drawing off the
chyle, empty it into a larger tube, named the
thoracic fuct, which runs np the back, and dis
charges its contents into the jugular vein,
whence it passes into the heart, to1 assist in
forming arterial blood.
The lungs are two bags connected witfi the
open air by the windpipe, which bfanches into
innumerable fwwll tubes,- all over the inside of
the Inugs, each tube teriwinating in a minut
air cell. The outer surface of these air cells is
full of capillaries, or iufinifely small veins, a
thin membrane only dividing the air from the
blood. The impure portion of venous blood i
carbonic acid, which, having a stronger affinity
for air than for blood, passes through this thin
membrane in a gaseous state, combines with
the air in the air cells and is expelled with the
next expiration. Meantime the oxygen of the
air unites with the blotd, and becomes purified;
then passing into the heart, being mixed with
chyle, it is forced through the body as life giv
ing and arterial blood.
The skin serves an important purpose in
carrying off impurities from the human system.
It is traversed with capilliaries, which contain
more blood in the aggregate than all the other
capillaries of the body. It is also perforated
with countless perspiration tnbes, the united
length of which amounts to twenty-eight miles,
and which drain away from three to four
pounds of waste matter every twenty-four hours,
or five-eighths of all that the body discharges.
The nerves are another curious feature in the
animal economy. They are, however, but little
understood. They act as feelers to tell the
wants of the body, and also as conductors to
will the muscles to act. They branch out from
the brain and spine over the whole frame, in
infinitely fine fibres, like the branches and
twigs of a tree.
A curious question for the lawyers has arisen!
in London. A lady was courted by a gentle-'
man, who promised to marry her, and was ac--
eepted Rut he didn't fulfil his promise, a-nd
she sued him for the breach. It turned out.
however, that he couldn't marry her because he
had a wife living at the time. I answer to the
suit, he says "Barkis is willin, but the law wont
allow it," and the lady can onfy demand a ful
filment of Ins engagement by an act contra,
bono mores. The question then arises, "What
damage has the lady sustained in not being;
married to a married man?" There is n sb
tlety of casuistry suggested by this, which the
Chief 15.i ron himself did not like to encounter,
and an arbitration was recommended. It is a
nut which a Philadelphia lawyer might perhaps
be able to crack.

The finest idea of a thunder storm extant
when Wiggins came home tight. Now Wig
gins is a teacher, and had been to some meet
ing where he drank too much lemonade, or
something. He came into the room among his;
wife and daughters, and jst then be tumbled
over the cradle and fell kcrwhollop on the
floor. After a while he rose and said;
"Wife, arc you hurt?"
"No."
s'Girls, arc you burt?"
"No."
'Terrible clap, wesn't it?"
SixGtJtR Mortality. A friend relates to
