BLACKBIRD, THE OMAHA CHIEF.
FROM THE NATIONAL GAZETTE.
Vrom Mr. Irving't newwork, "ATnnu, or Anec
dte of an Enterprise beyond the Rocky Moun-
f taina now in the Prs.
On tbc lOlh of May, the party arrived
at theOjnaha (pr"nunceil Omawhaw)
village, about eight hundrcfl and ' thirty
utiles above, the muuih of the Misaouii,
and ni camped in its neighborhood. The
village wa situated under a hill, on the
bank of tlie river, and consisted of abouf
cihtv ludge. These were of a circular
and conical frm', and about sixteen. feet
in diameter beiii mere tents of dressed
buffalo hk ns, sewed together and stretch ;
vd on lung ple, inclining towards each
oilier, o a to cross at, about half their
height, Thufc the naked poles diverge in
uch a manner, that, if they were cover
ed with kin like the, lower ends, the
tent would be shaped like an hour glass,
and present the ap(h;arance of one cone
inverted on the apex of another.
The forms ofj jridTan lodges are wor
thy of attention, each tribe having a dif
ferent mode of shaping and arranging
them, ro that it is cay to tell, on seeing
a lodge or an-Wcampment at a distance ,
,'(o what tribe the inhabitants belong. The
exterior of the Omaha liae often a, gay
lind 'fanciful appcacance, being painted
with undulating bands of red and yellow,
or decorated witlrrude figures of horses,
deer and bufl'alos, and with human faces,
painted like fall moons, fuur or five feet
broad.
The Qmnhas were once one of the
numerous and powerful tribes of the pra
irie, vying in '.varlike might and prow
ess with, the Sioux, the Pawnee, the
Rauksj lhe rConxas, and the Iatans. Their
waia with t!e Sioux, however, had thin
ned their rank, -and 'the sinal!-px in
1802 had swept off about two-thirds 'of
their number. At the tune of Mr II u hi-a
viiit, they still boasted about two hundred
warriors and hunters: but they are fast
melting away, and befoie long, will be
numbered among those extinguished na
tions ofthe West, that exist but in tra
dition. In his correspondence -with Mr. A6r,
from thi point of his journey, Mr; Hunt
give a sad account of the Indian tribes
bordering on the river. ' They were in
continual war with each other, ami .-their
wars were nf the mot harraaaihg kin d
consisting, not merely of main conflicts
aiid expeditious of moment, involving the
sacking:, burjtingsand massacres. of town
acd villages, but fof individual acts of
tiracherv, niunler, and cold blooded cru
elty, or tif 'mooting atd, fool -hardy ex
ploits of single warriors, '-either to avenge
uine personal wrong or gain the vainglo
rious trophy of a scalp. The lom-ly hun
tpr. the wandering wayfarer, the poor
Mjuaw, cuttit); wod or gathering corn,
was liable to be Aurprized and slaughter
ed. In this war, tribes were either swept
away at once, or gladually .thinned out.
ml ' ... . . . "
ami a. savage life was surrounded -with
Constant horrors anil alarms. That- the
race of men should diminish from year to
Yrar, and go few should survive of the
numerous nations which evidently once
peopled the vast regions ofthe West, is
nothing surprising ; it is rather matter of
ui prise that so many shoo Id survive ; for
the existence of a savage in these parts
cms little better than a prolonged and
all, begetting death. Itis, in fact, a cari
cature of ihe boasted romance of feudal
times chivalry in its native and uncul
tured state, and knight errantry run wild
In tluir more prosperous days, the O
inahas looked upon themselves a the most
powerful and perfect of human being,
and considered all created things as maie
for their peculiar use and benefit. It is
t; is tribi, of Vihose4--Cref, th famous
Wafh-iiig-guli-sah-ba, or Blackbird. .'-such.
vagq and i omantic stories are told. He
(eddied about ten year a previous to the
n ival of Miv Hunt' party, but his name
as. still .'mentioned with awe by his peo
ple. He was one of the first among the
Indian Chiefs on h Missouri, to deal
Miih the white-trafcrs, aiVd showed great
aagacit y in levying his royal dues When
trader arrived in hi village, he caused
all his.gooils to be brought into jlis lodge
d opened. From these he selected
fclntever isuited his sovereign pleasdVe
hU n k e t s, t obaccu, whiskey, po wkd e r, pal 1 .
Wads and red i ahn. and laid the articles
ne side, without deigning to give an
c"mpenation. Then calling to him h
taUi r crier, h; would der h'uu U
mount on the top of the lode and sum
mon all the tribe tobung in thetr peltries,
and trade with the white map. The lodge
would soon be, crowded with Indians,
bringing bear, beaver, otter, and other
skins. No'one, was allowed to dispute
the prices iKed by the white trader upon
his articles, who, tool; jcare to indemnify
himself five, times oyer for the goods set
apart by Jhe Chjef In this way the, Black
bird enriched' himself, and enriched the
white men, and became exceedingly pop
ular among the traders of th Mtssouii.
His people, however, were nojt equally
sati'fud bv a regulation of trade which
worked so manifestly, against thenu and.
began U show signs of discontent. Upon
this, -a crafty and unprincipled trader re
vealed a secret to the Blackbird, by which
he might acquire unbounded sway over
his ignorant and superstitious subjects,
lie instructed him in the poisonous qua
lities of arsenic, and "furnished him with
an ample supply of fhjat baneful --.drug.
From this time, the. Blackbird Reemed
endowed with ' nupernatura4 powers, to
possess the gift of prophecy, and to hold
the disposal "of life and ilealh within his
hands. Wo to any one wjio questioned
his authority or dared to' dispute, his com
mands! The Rlackbrrd. prophesied his
death within .a certain time, and he liml
the secret means of verifying his prophe
cy. Within the fated period the often d -er
was smitfen witha strang'e an'd'suilden
disease, and perished from the face of the
earth. Every one stood aghast at these
multiplied examples of superhuman might,
and dreaded to displease so omnipotent
and indiclivea being: and the Black
bird enjoy ed p wide and undisputed sway.
It was not, however, by terror alone
that he ruled his people j he was a warri
or ofthe first order, and his exploits in
arms were the theme of young and old.
His career had begun by hardships, hav
ing been taken prisoner by the Sioux in
early youth. Under his command, the
Oinahas obtained great character for mil
itary prowess, nor did he permit an insult
or injury to one of his tribe to pass unre
versed. The Pawnee repubficans had
inflicled a gross indignity on a favorite
and distinguished Omaha brave. The
Blackbird assembled his warriors, led
them against the Pawnee town, attacked
it whhprresistible fury, slaughtered a
great nuinbel- of its inhabitants, and burnt
it to the ground. He waged fierce and
bloody war against the Ottees for many
years, until peace was effected between
them by the mediation of the whites.
Fearless in battle, and fond of signalizing
himself, he da.zied his followers by his
daring acts. In attacking a K.an7.a vill
age, he rode singly round it, loading and
discharging his nfie at the inhabitants as
he galloped past -them. He kept up in
war the same idea of mysterious and su
pernatural power. At one time, when
pursuing a war party by their tracks across
the prairies, he repeatedly discharged his
rifle into the prints made by their feet
and by the hoof of their horses, assuring
his followers that he would thereby crip
ple the fugitives, so that they would easily
be overtaken.' . He in fact did overtake
them, and destroyed them almost to a man;
and Ins victory was considered miracu
lous, both by friend and foe. By these
and similar exploits he made himself the
pride and boast of his people, and became
popular among them, notwithstanding his
death-denouncing fiat.
With all his savage and terrific quali
ties, he was sensible ofthe power'of fe
male beauty, and capable of love. A war
party of the Poncas had made a foray in
to the lands ofthe Omahas, and carried
oft" a number of women and horses. The
Blackbird was roused to fury, and took
the field with all bin braves, "swearing to
"eat up the Ponca nation," the Indian
threat of exterminating war. The Pnn-j
caK, sorely-pressed ook refuge behind a
rude bulwark of earth; but the Blackbird
kept np so galling a fire, that he seemed
likely to execute his menace. In their
extremity they sent forth a herald, bear
ing the calumet or pipe of peace, but he
was shot down by order of the Blackbird.
Another herald was sent forth in similar
guise, but he shared a like fate. The
Ponca chief then, as a last hope, arrayed
his beautiful daughter in he finest orna
ment, and sent her forth with a caiumet,
to sue for peace. The charms of the In
dian maid touched the stern heart of he
Blackbird; h accepted the pipe at her
hand, smoked it, and from that time a
peace took place between the Poncas and
the Omahas.
This beautiful damsel, in all probabil
ity, was the favorite wiie .whose late
makes so tragic an incident in the story
of the Blackbir d. Her youth and beauty
hal gained an absolute sWay over his rug
ged lveart, so that he distinguished her
above all his other wives. The habitual
gratification of his vindictive impulse,
however, had taken away from mm all
mastery over his passions, and rendered
him liable to the most furious transports
of rage. In one of these his beautiful
4yjfe had the misfortune to offend him,
ivhen suddenly drawing his knife, he laid
her dead at his feet with a single 1tow.
In an instant his frenzy was at an end.
He gated tor aime in raute-bewtUUrment
tr)Oh fc'ts victim then drawing his buffalo
rot otefhii boad -ht -lat down besids' the
corpse, and remained brooding ..over, his
crime and his loss. Three days elapsed
yet the .chief continued sjlentand motion
less tasting, no food, and, apparently
sleepless. It was apprehended .that he,
intended to starve himself to. dea'th ; his
people approached' him' in trembling aw.,
and entreated him; once more 'to uncovcf
his face and be comforted ; but he.rctnain
f( unmoved. , At length one of his war
riors brought in a small child, and laying
it on the groXind, placed the foot of the
Blackbird upon its neck. The heart of
the gloomy savage was touched by, this ap
pal ; he thr.ew aside his robe; made an
harangue upon what he had done and
from that time forward seemed to have
thrown the load of grief and remorse from
his mind. ,
He still retained his fatal and misterious
secret,"and with it his terrific power.'; but,
though able to deal death to his enermefi.
he could not avert it from himself or his
friends- In 1802 the small-pox, that
dreadful pestilence, which swept over the
land like a fire over the prairies, made its
appearance in the village of the Omahas.
The poor savages saw with dismay the rav
ages of a malady, loathsome and agonizing
in its details, and whieh set the-skiik-and
experience of their conjurers and medicine
men at defiance. In a little while, two-
thirds-of the population were swept from
the face of the earth, and the doam of -the
rest seemed sealed. The stoicism ofthe
warriors was at an end ; they became wild
and desperate ; some set fire to the village
as a last means of checking the pestilence;
others, in a. frenzy of despair, put their
wives and children to -death that they
might be spared the agonies of an inevita
ble disease, and that they might all go to
some better country.
When the general horror and dismay
was at its height, the Blackbird himself
was struck down with the malady. The
poor savages, when they saw their chief
in danger, forgot their own miseries, and
surrounded his dying bed. His dominant
spirit, and love for the white men, were
evinced iri his latest breath, with which he
designated his place of sepulture. It was
to be on a hill or promontory, upward of
four hundred feet in height, overlooking a
great extent of the Missouri, from whence
he had been accustomed to watch for the
barks of the white men. The Missouri
washes the base ofthe promontory, and af
ter winding and doubling in many links
and mazes in the plain below, returns to
within nine hundred yards of its Starting
place ; so that for thirty miles navigating
with sail and oar, the vnvager finds him
self continually near to this singular prom
ontory as if spell bound.
It was the dying command of the Black
bird that his tomb should be ufton the sum
mit of this hill, in which he should be in
terred, seated on his favorite horse, that
be might overlook his ancient domain, and
behold the barks of the white men as they
c;me up the river to trade with his people.
His dving orders were faithfully obeyed.
His toi'pse was placed astride of his war
teed, ami a mound raised over them on
the summit of the hill. 0:t ton of the
mound was erected a staff, from. which fint
tered the banner of the chieftain, and the
scalps that he had taken in battle. WhenJ signal nod complete ; without the least
the expedition under Mr. Hunt visited Hialtias or hesitation, one hundred and
that part of the country, the staff still re-
mained with the fragments r.f the banner.
and the supersticious rite of placing food
from time to time on the mound, for the
use ofthe deceased, was still observed by
the Omdias. 'That rife has since fallen
into disuse, for the tribe itself is almost extinct'.-
Yet the hill ofthe Blackbird con
tinues an object of veneration to the wan
dering savage, and a landmark to the voy
ager of the Missouri ; and as the civiliz.ed
traveller co;nes within sight of its spell
bound e rest, the mound is pointed out to
him from afar, which still encloses the
grim skeletons of the Indian warrior and
his horse.

From an Jlthlress brforc the Phil'

tins Agriculture.
If I have failed to prove that the pur
suits of agriculture may be as lucrative
as other employments, it wd-l be an easier
task to vindicate their pleasure and their
importance. I need not dwell on their
retirement, one of' the purest enjoyments
of this life, and the best preparation for
the future, on those healthy occupations,
on that calmness of mind, on that high
spirit of manlinfrfc and independence.
which naturally belong to that condition.
These are attractions wu'ch must have
deep roots in the human hear t, since they
have in' all times facinated at once the
imagination, and won the judgment of
men. But I may be allaweil to say, that
in, this nation, agriculture i probably
destined to attain its highest honors,' and
that the country life in America ought to
possess peculiar attractions, the pure
and splend d institutions of this people
havs embodied the highest dreams of those
nigh spirits, who in other times and in o
iher lands, have lamented or- struggled
against oppressions; they have realised

Successful bcyorxd all calculation.
This body assembled in the Fresbvterian
Church, iri 'the town of Salisbury, 'on the
10th of October, and continued in session
for three days. Bartlett Shipp, Eq. of
Lincoln, was chosen President, and Js.
U. Dodge and Warren Winslow, Esq's,
were appointed Secretaries. Delegates
were in attendance from nineteen coun
ties, to the numberof 131. It included
a much business talent, and sound prac
tical sense. as we have ever seen collected
together. There was no attempt at oratory
or fiouriah, but much sensible discussion,
and many sound slatittical viewg were
taken of the various matters submitted
The members seemed to have come toge
ther, with the fixed purpose of preparing
to act; and the impression made, we think,
is most favorable fo the hopes ofthe friends
of internal improvement the success of
the proposition to recommend the three

adoption of the Legislature, was most

and respectable gentlemen of 1 9 conn tics,

State, gaye ths proposition a full, anno
rou unanimous aye. We call tiiis, not
only a victory but a most auspicious and
g'oriou one.
We copy the other resolutions below,
they of themselves are not very strong,
but taken in connexion with the resolu
tion to act immediately under the char
ter granted in 1833, for a Rail Road from
Fayetteville to the summit of the Nar
rows, they too are moat encouraging. It
will be perceived that bonks are to be.o
pened in a short time for the subscrip
tion of stoc,k under that Charfer which
as far as (he summit of the Narrows of
tiie Yadkin, is thought to be as favorable
a one as need he. : Indeed the distitt
guished Engineer, Maj. McNeil who. was
a member of the Convention, declare.
that the cha'ter was without exception,
a to the part between those point.
He further stated also, that he was so
well satisfied with the feasibility of the
w o r k , an d the profit ab ! e n e ss " o f th e S to ck .
that he-would take the stock under this
charter to a liberal extent. We lettrn
that he afterwards said, iri private con

the amount of S20,000 (it is known that
ti. . . it' i
