Uinccable. A Mort of legondary halo has, how-
preserved the word 'Tocahontus as
name of a lied Indian lady who did some-
g or other which was somehow romantic,
d who became the founder of a great Vir-
lnia family.
Ibe kind of idea afloat among almost an
lucated men is, we believe, that there was
wo a Virginian princess ieionging to a ua-
e tribe, and named Pocahontas, who mar
d an Englishman under most romantic cir
iiistances, came over to England, and died
a broken heart for love of an Englishman
ier than her husband, whom she believed
ud but found to be alive. With the legend
re has floated down through two centuries
idea of the, lady, the gentle Bavago the
Ichsed Pocahontas and urcat king's dangh-
r of Virginia," as Ben Jonson doos not call
r, but says somebody else does who was
le embodiment in some way of the melan-
oly naturol to her race, who was so beauti-
ll and so refined, and from whom sprang one
the few aristocratic families of America,
e Randolphs of Roanoke. Mr. E. Neill,
few United estates uonsm in Dublin, lias
en at tome pains to examine the ground-
rk of this legend, and baa written a mono-
rnph upon it, which is, we fear, conclusive,
d which will destroy in the minds of most
en the illusions which have hitherto sur-
nnded the name of the "Indian Princoss."
She was just a savage of the ordinary Indian
Vd, who ran naked in the woods till she was
olve, lived at thirteen with an English
lonist, and was married at fifteen by an
bitioua settler named llolfe, for tho good
the colony, and from a secret hope of
tting a good bargain out of her father's
ids. Pocahontas, otherwise Matoa. was
rn in l.'ilK, daughter to an Indian chief in
pginia, named Powhatan, the Sachem of a
be very much dreaded by tho early settlers;
u she was, in our English sense, neither
tlncesfl nor Queen, and the effort to exalt
r rank was, to all appearance.part of a well-
timed fraud upou the British Government.
ie popular story that while still a child of
elve she saved an English settler. Cantain
liith, by taking his head in her arms just as
p brains were abont to be beaten out, and
d she died of love for him, is an invention
the said Smith, who had originally written
very different report of the affair, given by
JNeiii, in which he describes rowhatan as
tremely kind to him. The truth seems to
that her father, Powhatan, a chief who
iltivated the English, used to send her in
ken of friendliness into the English fort,
here William btrachey, Secretary of the
lory, saw and described her in 1610.
ll'heir younger women goe not shadowed
hongst their owne compame until they
nigh eleaven or twelve returnes of the
ife old ,(for boo they accompt and bring
ont the yeare, calling the fall of the lcafe
iiiitock); nor are they mucn ashamed
lereof, and therefore would the before re-
umbered Pocahuntos, a well-leatured but
linton young girle, PowhatanB daughter,
metymes resorting tojour fort, of the age
en of eleven or twelve yeares, get the boyes
rth with her into the morkett place, and
ako them wheele, falling on with their
bndri, turning up their heeles upwards, whome
e would follow and wheele so herself, naked
she was all the fort over. The young
dy who thus anticipated our city Arabs was,
e should mention, under twelve; after which
!nie Indian etiquettes imposed some measure
decorum, in the shape of a leather apron
ke those worn by blacksmiths, or at that
me other English handicraftsmen. It is
robable, from a casual notice by the same
trachey, that she lived for a short time as
ife to a "private captain named nocoum,
liiat is. a "volunteer captain named Cook-
am, it being for the moment a part ot Vir
mian policy to encourage such unions in
rder to populate the colony, but there is be-
hond this casual notice no distinct proof of
ie fact. I .
In 1(513, when Pocahontas was fifteen years
Id. Powhatan had, for reasons unknown,
narreled with the settlers, and held certain
f them prisoners, and a Captain Argall, a
iold and unscrupulous man, considered that
pe earnest way of recovering the men, and
obtaining some quantity of come for the
Wonv s reliefe, would be to seize l'ocahon
jw as a Hostage, ana ne accoruingiy
- 1 V- . -11
oerced another chief, Patowomek (Poto-
Vac ?) into betraying her into his hands,
hich done, he sent a messenger to l'owhutan
einanding the prisoners and a "great quan
ity of corne." Powhatan at once yielded,
ent in the seven prisoners, a broad-axo, a
fjng whip-saw, both of them stolen, and "ono
anow of come," and Captain Avgall, it is
VUor. congratulated himself on a verv bold
t nd successful warlike niancmivre.
Tho betrayal was effected by enticing her
n board to see the ship, and bribing her
uardian, Potomac, with "a small copper
ettle and other less valuable toies, so highly
t him esteemed , that ' doubtless he would
mo betraved his own father for them," par.
licularly to Captain Argall, whom he esteemod
us brother alter the inaian lasmon. i oca
ontas. however, was not restored, but re
plied by Sir Robert Dale, the Governor of
e colony, as a means ot extorting sua oeuer
onditions, which he was explaining to Pow
hatan, when it was suggested to him by Air
'ohn ltolfe a person apparently ot some
lobilion and few scruples, who thought, to
ndL'e from the narrative written by Ralph
lamor. Secretary to the colony, thai by nis
narrincre with Powhatan's daughter, "one of
nide education, manners barbarous, and
trued generation." he could advance tho
'good and honor of the plantation."' and who,
roni his subsequent proceedings, entertained
fan idea that he miuut through her put
m a formidable claim to the lauds over
which her father hunted that tho best way
vo secure l'owhutan would be to marry his
fduughter to himself. Sir John Dale soems to
have thoncbt tniH a rather noble act of sell
sacrifice, aud l'owhutan, who had ja-it sold
I'ocahontas' sister for two bushels of beads,
entirely oonsented to the marriage, and sent
witnessos to see me ceremony, which, it ap.
pears, gteaiiy scanatui.ea uie JingiiHn,whetht!
because ltolfe was already married, or be
leause they disliked Hwdi unions, cannot now
e inaae out. ir cau ii, u ascertained
whether any legal marriage ever took place
though Pocahonta was undoubtedly repre
Mnted in Europe rk Ilolfe's wife. At all
events, it, appears to have ptruck him and
others that the "Virginian . Princess"
could J be used with effect to in
duce the Hritish Court to advanoe
more money to the plantation, and she
was sent with the Governor, Sir Thomas Dale,
to England in the following year, where she
created no small sensation. It was the inte
rest of the settlers to exalt her dignity, and
they did it so effectually that, althongh some
times described as "the woman Pocahontas,"
the rrivy Council held a meeting to discuss
whethet Kolfe ought not to be tried for high
treason' in marrying her, and Simon do Posse,
the artist, wrote under her portrait, "ilatoaks
als Ilebecka (her native and Christian names)
daughter to the mighty , Prince Powhatan,
Emperdur of At taiioughkornouck als Virginia. "
Tho pifcture represents a thoroughly Indian
ouiunj with high cheek-bones, gloomy
facei and lanky hair, some thirty years
of agef-she was only eighteen who never
can nave been beautiful according to
English: ideas of beauty, dressed in a high
felt hat) such as is now worn in North Italy,
and a broad white ruff. She appears to have
remained in England but a few months, and
was returning homeward when she died at
Gravesend, 1 on 2lst May, 161(5, and was
buiied in the chancel of Gravesend Church,
as "Rebecca Wrothe,'.' wife of "Thomas
Wroth, gent., a Virginia lady borne." No
trace whatever of her conversation or hor
character can be recovered, nor is there any
evidence that she was regarded in any other
light than a converted Tasmaninn or Maori
would now be, that is, as a snbject of some
intellectual curiosity, but little admiration.
Her hunband, John Eolfe, returned to Vir
ginia, and was appointed Secretary to the
colony, and apparently mode a grand spring at
Powhatan's territory, for the Virginia Com
pany in 1(518 sharply rebuked him for re
porting that the natives were reserving the
country for his own child, "which we do sup
pose to be a device of your own to some
special advantage for yourself." They had a
hobit of speaking plainly in those days,
especially to servants. Pocahontas had one
son by llolfe, who returned to Virginia,
and seems to have been re
cognized by the Indians as a connection,
and it wus through this son that the Indian
blood entered the Virginia planting families.
An "esteemed and industrious mechanic,"
named Randolph, settled on the James river,
and his son ltichard married Miss Jane Boi
ling, great granddaughter of Pocahontas, and
became the grandfather of John Tvandolph,
ot Konnoke, the well-known V lrginian. who.
it is said, considered this descent the proudest
among his endless claims to the reverence of
his countrymen. The whole story, we fear,
is essentially unromantic and common-place;
but there is little harm done by telling it.
The human mind is so constituted that it can
actually read the story of ThermopyLu, and
in defiance of figures given by the very histo
rian whom it trusts, believe that the pass was
defended by three hundred mon only; and so
it will read Mr. Neill's collection of facts, and
believe, nevertheless, in Captain Smith's
rubbishy romance about tho naked little
savage who "played cart-wheels" m Lord
Delaware's fort; and it may be, after all,
wiser to believe both in Thermopylie and
Pocahontas.
'rii: "i:uows or tii iHim-io."
j BY AUGUSTUS MAVEltlCK.
From Packard's Monthly.
In the Italian campaign of lri!) the news
papers of England, France, and the United
Mates were engaged in eager rivalry. The
struggle to obtain easy and "exclusive in
telligence of the events of the war continued
unabated until the end ot the struggle. The
.London J line selected its best correspondent
for service in the Italian army; leading
Irench journals promptly recorded the suc
cesses of Napoleon, and glorified the carnage
of Solferino and Magenta; tho New York
newspapers had representatives on all the
fields of - battle, and the foremost among
these was the late Henry J. ltaymond, to
whom the That and its readers were indebted
for the clearest and most complete of all the
contemporaneous narratives not excepting
the brilliant run executed by Mr. ltaymond
when he supposed himself pursued by an
infuriated squadron of Austrian cuirassiers.
It was in midsummer when the Newiork
Time became famous in consequence of this
same lively campaign. While the chief of
that journal followed in person the fortunes
of the war, his subordinates in the otlico of
the Times followed their own sweet will, and
it is but justice to the capable gentlemen who
then constituted the editorial corps to say
that the reputation of the paper was well sus
tained., In fact, the act of one of their num
ber increased its popularity for at least one
day for on that day appeared the editorial
article known as "The Elbows of the Mincio."
That remarkable production convulsed the
town at breakfast time, became the topic of
street talk before noon, was read aloud by
the evening lamp, and then was filed away
among the ephemera winch are considered
too good to be lost. 1 know of scrap-books
in which it is sacredly kept to-day of men
who bought old tiles of the Timet to scissor
out that one column of diligent collectors
who have made a copy of it one of the ap
pendices to their set of Disraeli's "Curiosi
ties." The "Elbows" consisted of phrases which,
though disjointed, were in every sensespirited;
the (ipace occupied was one column of the
I tiius; the title, "Ihc Defensive Square of
Austriun Italy." The first half was grave;
the last half well, Bacchus was responsible
for that. The opening passages contrasted
strongly with those which followed, as the
cosy tlow of a running spring contrasts with
the bubbling torrent of the brook dashed into
foam by countless pebbles the pebbles in
this case being corks, and the foam of that
sort which some Auaeroontio tells us i
"pleasant boating." In short, it was a break
fast which, like Charles Lamb's last pioce of
pie, did tho business.
The polished writer and elegantly finished
gentleman whoso presence wus always welcome
at any festive hoard, and whose pen achieved
the original triumph, of "The Elbows" over
all competitors, Trench, English, or Ameri
can, bud "break! astod. 1 lie breakfast was
a good one; viands there were of the best.

lay thai decorous part , of the "Elbows," and
towards midnight the article got iUelf finished
not so decorously. This is briefly the story
of its origin.
Opening with a concise stutemeut of the
Hclf-imprisunment pf tho Austrian within
"their famous strategic square," the writer
proceeus to snow the strength oi tno uuad
'l-V 41.1.. 4 41. :
cle some clever touches, but the pause is
sudden, not to way painful. All that follows
the introductory paragraphs was incoherent
drivel, of the most curiously complex cha-
rsrfer; and, inasmuch as the story is quite
out of print, and is sometimes in brisk de
mand, and is funny in itself, and worth pre
servation as a literary curiosity, I am tempted
here to reproduce it bodily, as follows:
From the Timtn, July is, 1859. ,
"Austria has neglected nothing
which might insure her dominion over the
waters of the Danube. She has done all in
her power to favor the development of En
rope, which is the pacific development of Eng
land. She has dealt with edged tools boldly,
but not, we feel sure, in utter vanity.
"In 1848 Peschiora was captured by the
Sardinians, undor King Charles Albert; but
there can be no doubt that the French bore
away from the first fight ol Magenta very
questionable compliments. At this time the
Sardinians, under the Duke of Genoa, wore
ready to defend tho famous Quadrilateral.
To-day the Quadrilateral has ceased to exist.
"The fortress of Teschiera lios on an isle
near the scene of the conflict.
"A broad rood has been made bv Austria.
in the direction of the Alps, to unito the
reg ons of the Vorarlberg and tho Tyrol with
Lombardy, by the pass of the Stelvio. This
road passes through the Vatelline, runs
around the Lake of Como, and ends at Berga
mo. It may serve as well for the retreat of
the beaten Austrians into the Tyrol as for the
advance of the victorious Austrians upon
Italy. Two railways pass also by this control
point of tho Austrian position. One of these
railways unites Lornbardy with Vienna, by
circling around the crescent of the North
Adriatic; the other, leaving Botzen, in the
Tyrol, skirts tho Lego of Gardu, touches
Trent, , Rovercdo, and Verona, and bv a
branch road reaches Mantua, and thus unites
the two main angles of tho famous square.
The New York flcrulil, in giving yesterday a
pretended map of this square, carefully
omitted the bridge-head of Legnago, and thus
converted the square into a triangle. The
strength of Peschiera and Legnago is out of
all proportion to the besieging force. The
main merit of Peschiera is that this fortress
lies on an island, and was captured by the
Duke of Genoa in 1848. At this time tho
Sardinians crossed the Mincio after several
hours' hard fighting; and if we follow the
windings of the Mincio, wo shall find count
less elbows formed in the telbow of the regu
lar army, at places like Salianzo, Molini, and
liorghetto. These places moke up the base
of the allied army. The line of the Mincio is
the base of the new campaign we are abont
to open. '
"Almost at the southern end of the river
Mincio lies the strong fortress of Mantua, the
only Gibraltar of Austria in Italy, guaranteed
by the treaties of 181 . Mantua, as we have
said, lies on a lake of the river Mincio. In
spite of the labors spent upon it, Mantua still
holds the next rank to Verona. It is a post of
danger lor the army shut between its walls,
rather than for the enemy without. After a
battle of several hours' duration, the Sar
dinians, at Goito, give way, and if we follow
up the course of the Mincio, we shall find
innumerable elbows formed by the sympathy
of youth. Defended by Wurmser, in 17!t7,
Austria surrendered to Napoleon III in 18.V.I.
Notwithstanding the toil spent by Austria on
the spot, we should have learned that we aro
protected by a foreign fleet suddenly coming
up on our question ot citizenship. A canal cuts
Mantua in two; but we may rely on the most
cordial Cabinet Minisier of the new power in
England.
"Mantua is protected m the centre by five
detached forts, Pradella, Castle of Faith, St.
George, and Migliaretto, which commands
Cremona, Borgo Forte, and Govemolo.
"A canal divides Mantua and makes a small
port in tho lake, communicating by five forti
fied roadways with the land.
"At lioverbello aro machines for flooding
the whole region, and in the upper lake floats
an Austrian squadron. The region between
Mantua and the Po is iuqiracticable for un
army, "f is a marsh full of fevers. On this
side the square seems impregnable. But how
with the line from Mantua to Legnago V Leg
nago is no stronger than Peschiera, but it has
the double advantage ot a bridge over tho
Adige, and of dikes ready to inundate the
whole Adriatic region. The fourth face of
tho square links Verona to Legnago. This is
the best defensive line of Austria in Italy.
At Verona the lost features of the opposition
lingered. The Adige is swift and deepat
erona; it can only be passed at Cerpi and
Bussolengo in the face of a thousand perils.
Paris is strong in her circle of fortifications."
Undeniably this was a successful perform
ance. That older jingle of rubbish which
tells us abont the old woman who went to
the garden to get some cabbage to make an
apple-pie, and how "just then a great she
bear comes up and pops his head into the
shop what ! no soap ! so he died, and she
married the barber" and how at the wedding
the Great Panjandum and all the rest of
them "fell to playing the game of catch as
catch can, till the gunpowder ran out of the
heels of their bouts" all this was Footo's
fun, performed while ho was sober, in order
to see how ridiculous he could be; but, suc
cessful as it was, it paled before the magnifi
cence of tho "ElbowH," for the latter showed
how ludicrously a tipsy fancy could upset a
compact and well-stored brain. There is but
one other specimen in the literature of tho
comic concocted over wino and cigars by a
party of mad wags which is of a piece with
this, and here it is;
"It is not, believe me, an agreeable or
easy business to perceive the unparalleled
embarrassment and partial paralysis of a
harassed and vacillating pedlar admiring the
symmetry of a peeled onion and gauging the
contents of a barrel of cider with a powter
syphon. How dissimilar from this premise
is the mien of a deceived and grieving Sybil,
dispensing inadmissible and indispensable
inuendoes with malicious tongue, as she Bits
upon the Pillars of Hercules, or reposes upon
the Croton Aqueduct, and with a willow wand
separates the mosquitoes and caterpillars upon
its summit from the ghosts of yaohtmou re
suscitated from the Elysian Fields!"
Vet close analysis of the article known as
the "Elbows of the Mincio" reveals glimmor
iugsofsonso mere suggestions of coherent
idwas. The framework is oak, but the filling
in is litho, willowy, and unsubstantial. Four
distinct subjects were evidently in the mind
of the writer when be sat down to pen this
remarkable efl'usiou. These subjects were the
defensive square, the military strength of
Austria, the new Cabinet formed in England,
and the massive fortifications with which Na
poleon was then environing Paris. Unfortu
nately, although each of these topics was in
itself interesting and important, they did not
fuse wtll together, for the simple reason that
champagne is not a chemical solvant. The
defensive square happened to be in Italy,
therefore "the most cordial Cabinet Minister
of England" had nothing whatever to do with
it; the fortiflcations.of Paris, albeit of great
value to France, hod no neoessary connection
with "the canal which cut Mantua in two;"
and the moaning oi the writer was so hope
lessly obscured in the passage apprising us
that "we are protected by a foreign fleet
omicg up our question of citizenship,"
that, no seer could throw liuht nnon it. On
the wholo, it was a "mixed" production.
The effect of this bombshell in the oWm of
the Tim? was exceedingly amusing. When
fliA members of the editorial fore a ilmnnnd
in singly or in couples, to take up t he labors
of the day, the morning sheet was passed
frr.ni nun to another, accomtmnied bv the
natural query, "What does it mean, and who
not vet been answered; the latter half wvi
known and buzzed about within an hour.
When the absolute completeness and ridicu
lous nonsense of the article stood fully re-
