Richmond, Va, May 4, 1839. . 28 3t BLACK HAWK -TECUMSEH; During a residence of several years in what is now the Territory of Iowa, I had many opportunities of seeing and convers ing with this noted Warrior and often look back with feelings of great pleasure' to the many tokens of good will arid friendship that he has jfrequently bestowed upon rrie. His lodge Was always open to the stranger and that with him what he might most want, either his furs and blankets for a cduch, of his corn and venison for a repast. He al ways spoke in terms of high regard of the whites, saying that in war he fought like a brave man, but in peace lie wished to for get that his hand had ever been raised a garnst them.- His career as a warribr com menced at a very early age ; when !he was but fourteen years old, his father Paheese led a war party against th Osaes in which expedition he accompanied him ; thpy suc ceeded in reaching the village olfthe psages, which they attacked, and aftei' a.very se vere encduDterv ttley' routed thtf enemies and..burni their to vrlIu tTils patllQ Black Hawk's" father wad killed, bnt lie Revenged his death by killing and scalping the Osage who had slain hiiri. He Was fond jof re counting hiiearfie'r' dxploits; j and, often boasted of his beiifg at the right hand of Tecumseh, wher the latter was killed at the battleof the Thames.f His accfiint'of the death of this Distinguished warribr was re lated to me by himself, during kn evening that 1 spent in his lodge some winters ago. In the course of pur talk, Tasked him if he was with Tecumseh when - he was killed. He replied j j j j "I was, and IjwilFtell you all about it; Tecumseh, Shaupinne smcTCaldweH. two Potawatamie Chiefsanif myself, werp seat ed on a log near pur cairfp lire, j filling our pipes for a smoke on the morning jof the battle, when world came from the British i 5 General that he wished to speak! to Tecum seh. He went immediately, and after stay ing some lime rejoined us taking his scat without saying a word, when! Caldwell, who was one of Viis favorites, observed to him my father, what are we to? do ? Shall We fight the Americans? "Yes, my son," replied Tecumseh "We shall gb into their very smoke bull you are now wanted by thf General. Go my son. I never expect to see you again! " Shortly after this (coi tinued Black Hawk,) the Indian spies came in, and gave word of the near approach of the AnpDsricans. j Tecumseh imhiedialely posted his men in the edge of a swamp which flanked theBritish line, placing him self at their head. ' I was a little to his right, with a small party of Sauks. It was not long before the Americans made jtheir ap pearance ; they did not perceive us at first, hid as we were by the undergrowth, but we soon let them know where we were by pouring in one or two vollies as they were forming into line to oppose the British. They faltered a little, but very soon we per ceived a large body of horse (Colonel John son's regiment of mounted Kerituckiahs) preparing to charge upon us in the swamp. They came bravely on, yet we never stir red until we saw the flints' in their guns, when Tecirmseh, springing to his feet, gave the Shawnee war cry, and discharged his rifle. This was the signal for us to com mence the fight, but it did not last long; the Americans answered the shout, returning our fire, and at the first discharge of their guns I saw Tecumseh stagger forwards over a fallen tree near which he was stand ing, letting his rifle drop at his feet. As soon as the Indians discovered he was kill ed, a sudden fear came over them, and think ing the Great Spirit was angry, they fought no longer, and were quickly put to flight. That night we returned to bury our dead, and search for the body of Tecumseh. He was found lying where he had first fallen ; a bullet had struck him above the hip, and his skull had been broken by the butt end of the gun of some soldier,! who had found him perhaps, wht-n life was not quite gone. With the exception of these wounds, the body was untouched ; lying, near him, however, was a laTge fine looking Potawat tamie who had been killed, decked in his plumes and war paint, whom the Americans no doubt had taken for Tecumseh, for he was scalped, and every particle of skin flay ed from his bodv. Tecumseh himself had no ornaments abiluthis persori,"save a British medal. During the night we buried our dead, and brought off the body of Tecum seh, although we were within sight ofHhe fires of the American camp." i This is somewhat different .from the ac count which is commonly given of Tecum sehs death, yet II believe it to be true, for after hearing Black Hawk relate it, I heard it corroborated by one ot 103 I'ottawatamie Chiefs mentioned by him. j I asked him if he ever fought against the whites after the death of Tecumseh. " He said not that he returned home to his wllage on the Missis sippi, at the mouth of Rock river, and there he remained until driven away by the whites in tlie year 1832. I The wish to hold pos session of this village was jtlie cause of the war wbich he waged against the whites du ring that year. He told me that he never wished to fight ; that he was made to dp so; that the whites killed his warriors when they went with a white flag to beg a - par ley, and that after this was done he thought they intended to kill hiu at all events, and therefore he would die like a warrior. In speaking of his defeat, he said it was what lie expected that he did hot mind it, but What hurt him more than any thing else, was our Government degrading Turn in the eyes of hisown people, and setting another Chief (Keokuck) over him. This de.rada tiort lie appeared to feel very sensibly; still he coii tinued to, possess all his native pride. One instance that came under mv observa tion, 1 recollect well, in which it was strong ly displayed. He happened to be in a small displayed. He happened to be in a sm town m Iowa on the same day in which a party of Dragoons, under Capt. -, ar rived, and in paying a visit to a friend with whom he always partook of a meal when ever he stopped at the village, he met with the Captain, who had been invited to dine. Black Hawk remained also, exoerairig the usual invitation to stay and eat with them, but when the'dinner was ready the host took him aside, and told him trie Captain, or rather the white man's chief, Was to dirle with him that day, and he must wait until they had finished. The old Chiefs eye glistened with anger as he answered him, raising the forefinger of one hand to his breast to represent the officer I know the white man is a Chief, but I." elevating the finger of the other hand above his head was a Chief and led my warriors to the fight long before his mother knew ,hirm Your meat my dogs should not eat it." Saying this, he gathered the, folds of his blanket about him and stalked off', looking as proudly as if he. still walked over ground that he could call 44 my own." " Black Hawk pbssessed,Tto a great de gree, one fine trait which it is not usual for us to concede to the Indian 'kindness and affection for his wife. He never had but the one, and with her he Iived for upwards of forty years ; they had several children, three of whom still survive, two sohs arid a daugher. The eldest son is now one of the most promising young braves of the Nation arid bids fair to be one of its most noble men. The daughter is still quite young, and is considered to be the most beautiful Maiden belonging to her tribe. Baltimore American. RAIL RIDING The following sketch, the scene of of which is laid near Tallahassee, Florida, explains how to outwit Judge Lynch. It is from the Augusta Mirror. rsTow, of all other men, perhaps John Rodgers hatl the greatest aversion to 44 set tin on a rail. He would rather have died than suffer such iudignity; and immediate ly on receiviug this intelligence, he resol ved that he would not be caught 4 sleepin bery sound.' He then took another large drink, Etnd after clearing his throat, ex claimed in a whining tone of voice : Ride me on a rail ! Why I'll be shot, if I'd be rid on a rail, for five thousand dol lars.' Well, you'd better put out, then, said the srentleman of the bar, as he set back the bottle and popped the 4pic,' in the draw er. 4Judge Lynch has said it. 4 Well, now I'm not agwain to be served no such trick said John, 4 Judge Lynch.be hanged.' Johc sauntered out, crying anct mutter ing to himself, 4 111 blow 'em all to , if thev come a proiectin' about this child." He then stepped into a store, and pur chased three pounds of powder, which he lied up in a silk pocket hankerchief under his arm, walked into a confectionary, kept by a good old Frenchman, and purchased a few cigars, lighted one of them, and com menced smoking. Already the officers of the high Judge Lynch were in pursuit of him, and as he saw them gather around the door, he began to puff away at his cigar and mutter curses against 4 the wholj infernal pack of 'em.' 4 4 Yes, said he, 4yoti come tryin' that are, aud you'll get waked up wor e than ever you was afore blast nation seize your picters. You jest fool With this child that's all and if I don't blow you to king dom come you see if I don't.' The crowd which had assembled round the door, now gradually entered the room, and as they did so, John began to flourish his cigar and cry : 4 Jest you tetch, now. If you lay your hands on me, 1 11 send you whtrlin, if this here powder's good for any thing. I don't care for myself I'd rather be blowed through the roof of this here store than be rid on a rail a confounded sight.' -ThUlast speech had attracted the atten tion of the old Frenchman, who began o look very uneasy. 4 Ha, what dat you say ? blow off de roof from my house I 4Lay liold of him,' said the judge, who generally attended the execution of his sen tences iiij)erson,.4lay hold of himfellows!' 4Stand off! stand off.'' exclaimed John, at the top of his v ice, as he held "the pow der in one hand and the cigar ui the other. 4 Do you see this 'ere cigar, and this 'ere powder? jest you lay hands on me, and I'll teteh 'em together. IM don't now, dad burn me.' . . . , . Mon, Due ! Mon Due !' exclaimed the old Frenchman. 4.Go out ray, house, sair begone with your pood re aud cigar what le diable? will you blow up my property?" .' , 5 1 4 Well let "em -let , me alone then. ,1'U blow all hands "tip, and myself too, before I'll be rid on a rail. said the must te judge; 4the sentence of the law executed. ; , The crowd, which had now increased in number, gradually drew round the besieged Rogers and the end of the rail was seen entering the door 4Here goes, "then! exclaimed Rogers, drawing the cigar from his month, and ap plying it close to the handkerchief. There was a sudden rush to the door, and a con fusion of voices crying but, 4 stop! stop!' 4 p.on't! don't above all of which might be heard the old Frenchman crying out, 4Murdare! murdare!' Well, said Rodgers, as the crowd dis persed, I'd just as lieve be killed, as' rid on a rail! ' I tell you one, two, several times, to be gone vid your poodre magazine, and your cigar. VVill you leave my house, sure?' But Rodgers could neither be persuaded iior driven from his position against the wall, until the old ttian had prevailed upon the Lynch party to withdraw to some dis tance from his door. He then left the house much to the relief of the old Frenchman ; but ever as the crowd approached, he would prepare to apply the match. At one lime they approached with more than usual determination, and when they had got quite near, one was heard to say Bring the rail!' 4 You try it,' said John; and if you don't get into a hornet's nest, jt'll be because fire won'tburn powder, now'tinnd.' The circle began cautiously to close, a round him, but as John knocked the ashes from his cigar, at the same time producing a few sparks preparatory to touching it to the powder, he was again suddenly left a lone. The individual who had worried himself considerabl)-, by carrying the rail, in his sudden retreat dashed it to the ground and exclaiming Non comatible in statue combustibus.n abandoned the attempt. The rest of the posse soon imitated his example, leaving Rodgers riumpharif. Thus Judge Lynch, for the first time witnessed the utmost contempt of his au thority, and the most determined defiance of his power. The following morning found John Rod gers a better man, and from that time forth he was never seen within the jurisdiction of Judge Lynch of T .Florida. Singular loss of muscular power."" -Il iftjuires all sorts of people to make a world." The following' singular case is related by Dr. Smith in the Medical and Surgical Journal : A man has been Walking the streets of Boston lately, from the eastward, who has suffered such a perfect loss of contrac tile power in the posterior muscles of the neck, that he is wholly unable to hold up his head. Such i the sensation of weight, and so inconvenient is it to have it dangling, as it were, oti the breast, wholly inter fering with the use of the eyes or mouth, that a somewhat corilplieated machine has heetf; invented expressly to remedy the case. An iron rod runs down the line of the spine, suppoited by straps from the hip upwards ; encircling the bady. Upon the top of the rod a broad band embraces the forehead, und thus the organs ot vision are kept on a horizontal line and thus the poor leilow threads ins way over the citv, hooped up almost like a cask. How admirable, simple and symmetrical is the apparatus nature employs snugly packed awa)' on the back of the neck, which main tains the head in an upright condition far more perfectly than the clumsy contrivan ces of man, when his ingenuity has been taxed to its utmost. The Moru Multicaulu fever isa baiiny;. A g nileman ol our acquaintance who had provided himself witfi a fccore of buds, which were set out with much precision in u raisin box, filled with choice mould, after waiting 3 hours to see them expand, found them turning rusty on his hands, and in a moment of exasperation threw his fortune out of the window. An other, a negro, who had also entered into a speculation to the amount of a few buds, had the satisfaction to find the leaves burst forth, but as the silk worms did riot sprout out with the leaves, he concluded that he had been imposed on, and was nursing into existence young crab apple shoots, instead of the 'giuooine' in or us. Another of the sable race, upon purchasing a dollar's worth "'of eis, was told by the dealer that he might keep them -any length of time and hatch them whenever he pleased. 0 massy he replied. I buy'd em to-day, a purpose kas I got a hen now jest a gwoin to tel.' Baltimore Patriot. A Sailor's Veracity." A sailor one eve ning, was stopped by a footpad, who de manded his money, when a Scuffle ensued; the tvt took the ' 'robber, and bore away his prize to a justice. When' the magistrate came to enquire into the nature of the as sault,he told. the sailor that he must swear, fiat the robber had put him in bodily Tear, otherwise he could not commit him.

" Substance of a Speech, part of which was, and the remainder of which ought to -have been delivered at the late Dinner to the Southern Convention In Chaileston, as a response to the following toast: North Carolina. SAff wag up and doing when ike battle was fought for Independence from abroad, she is not found -aantintr wlten we strive for Independence, at home. Mr. Hale returned thanks for the , honor! done his State, and said, Mr. President, I have heard with surprise the admission cf the Hon gentleman from Columbia, (Mr. Preston,) that the State of , South Carolina must have been buried in a profound sleep ever since the Revolution, or she could not have remained an unresist- ing spectator of that system of legislanonrTIia was asleep. HappilyV that has passed, and the progress of those events, which -and you are now really "awake, and can see have conspired to destroy'her trade, dimin- (;howwide awake the good old North State is, ish her wealth and impair her rights. Asleep) ' Mr. President, I have availed myself of for sixty years! Why, sir, that was thrice j the candid admission of the - Hon. gentle- the length of Rip Van Winkle's nap, which ! men to tell you, in a jocular way, some therHon. gentleman, it is said, once thought! plain truths,, which it well became me to'1 my State had taken! Sir there must have utter, and you to hear. Yoit have had1 your been a mistake of the printer. It was South, ' turn, and I have now had mine; ' We are and not North Carolina, according to his even. Candor obliges me to say, however, ' present impressions, which has enjoyed that I think we have all been a litIxk drriw this comfortable, repose! I am incfined to sy a"d the sooneir we wake up thoroughly think, sir, that he is right; for I find that and stand in the cause of Southern improve shd is now as ignorant of every thing that ment as we stood on the plains of Guilford has happened in. North Carolina, as the honest Dutchman was of the occurrences in the neighborhood of Sleepy Hollow. Whilst our fair sister is rousing herself from her long slumber, and is engaged in the interesting employment of rubbing her eyes and adjusting her looks, I propose j t hat she accomnanv me nn a shnrt vovacre i j , of discovery, in the course of which I think she will be as much surnrised as old Rin a. a vi ;,,u "uuic incdu these floating palaces, ( you ask, ) whose swallow-like proportions seem fitted for parting the waves with scarce a ripple, and whose gay and luxurious interior may well satisfy the exlremest desire of voluptuous man?" These are specimens of N. Caro lina enterprize. The first bears her honor ed name, which could not be borne by one more worthy of her. The second is called after him who so skillfully directs our helm of State. The third but no Jiiatter for her name it is like a certain Senator of Con gress I wot of an accidental one. T grieve that these, fair sister, have not received a heattier reception on your shores. But let that pass. , Step on board, and accompany me on an excursion. See, a few hours brings us to the ruins, scarce perceptible now, of the town which you knew in your days of wakeful ness old Brunswick. That has long since given place to Wilmington. Wilmington! you ask me, wuat is she? For hospitality of the nobles order, ask that starving and sunblisteredTemnant of the" once brilliant throng which graced the splendid saloons of the Pulaski; ask the Lamars of Georgia and the Seabrpoks of South Carolina they will tell you of lives risked io rescue; of doors thro wn open to the survi vors; of oil poured in on bleeding wounds; of sympathy never surpassed and seldom equalled. For her patriotism, look at this magnifi cent enterprise, wjiich, for extent and noble daring, throws your own works into the shaded Charleston, it seems, can never boast sufficiently bf her Hamburg Rail Road. That is a noble work ; it is 137 miles in length, and was undertaken and carried through mainly by a city of 30,000 inhabi tants. This is a Rail Road of 170 miles, and was commenced by Wilmington alone, a city which you have scarcely heard of, containing a population of 3,000 souls !- After she had put her own shoulder to the wheel, and had accomplished one -fourth of the work, Hercules came to her aid, the State granted her two-fiths of the means ne cessary to. accomplish the stupendous work. You point me to your rhagnificent Charles ton and Cincinnati Road. That, too, will be worthy of your fame; but even that, all things considered, sinks in comparison with this Wilmington enterprize. You have not only enlisted the energies of your whole State, on a work only Tour times as great as this, but you have four other States, to aid vou. Wilmington is almost alone; and she may challenge the world for an example of a greater undertaking by .so small a com munity. Accompany me, fair sister, up the be au tiful Cape Fear, to Fayetteviile "What Choss Cieek was, is Fatrttk now."' - You may well start' with astonishment at the works .which how meet your view; Manufactures are springing up here ; they are rapidly changing the face . pf tiiingi.
