An Indian council is one of the most imposing spectacles in savage life. t-It; is oi.e Of.the few_ Sic casions in which the warrior ciereises his right of suffrage, his influence .atiti.his. talenta, in a civil capacity, and the meeting is Conducted with all the gravity, and all the ceremonious ostiintation, with which it is 'possible to invest-it. The matter to be considered, us well nal all the details, are v,ell digested -beforehand,'FO that the utmost decorum' must prevail, and the decision be unanimous. The chiefs and sages—the leaders and orators—occupy the - most conspicuous seats: - .l,ellind them are ar-, ranged the imting braved, and still further" in the! rear appear : Abe - women' and .youths, as spectators.' All are equally attentix,e: A dead silence reigns throughout the assemblage: The great pipe, gau dily Adorned with painv and featlren=, is lighted,' and passed from mouth to mouth, connrienchig with the chief highest imrank, and proceeding by regular giadation w the , inferior order of braves. If two or three nations tic represented; the pipe is passed from one party to the other, and salutations arc courteously exchanged, before the business of the council is opened by the respective speakers. WhateverjealousY or party spirit may exist in the tribe, it is carefully exchalcil from this dignified asseiriblage, whose orderly conduct and close at tention to the proper subject before them, might be imitated with profit by some of the most en lightened - bodies - in Christendom. It was at; alarming evidence of the temper now prevailing among them, rind of the broodnig storm that filled their minds, that no propriety of demean or "sn arked the entranee!of .the savage; into 'the council Tooth. The usual formalities +a ere forgot ten-or properly dispensed with, and an insulting levity substituted in its place. 'The chiefs and heat esStalked in with an appearance of slight re gard,and seated themselves promiscuously on the floor, in front of the commisssoners. An air of in solence Marked all their movements, arid showed an intention to dictate terms or to fix a quarrel upon the Americans. A dead silence rested over the group; it was the silence of dread, distrust, and watchiliiiie-isi not of respect. ! The eyes of the savage band gloated upon the banquet of blood that seemed already spread out baffle them- ' the pillage of the fort and the 'bleeding scalps of the Americans, were all, los t with in their grasp, while that gallant lulls band saw the porteutious nature of the crisis, and stood leaily sell thehr lives as deafly as possible. The commissioners, without noticing the dike.; derby conduct of the other party, or appearing to have dieco - tered•the premeditated treachery. open ed the "couneil in due form. They lighted the peace pipe, and after drawing a few whiffs., passed it to the chiefs rho receiveillt: Col. Clark then ruse to explain the purpOse for; which the tieaty was ordered. With an unernbairassed fill the tone of one accustomed to einiimind. and the easy assurance of perfect security, and selt-possea sion, he stated. that the eominiissioners hi l l l - en sent to offer peace to the Shawanees. and that the president had no wish to continue The war, he had no -resentment to _ratify; sod that if tie red men desired peace, they could line it on liberal tennis "lf such be the will of theitiliawsinees, -- he coatis. ue,l, •;•lei Sillpe of the :vise men speak' A. chief arose, drew up his'tall person to its full height,.'. and assuming a haughty attitude, ;Mew his eye contemptuously over the connoisiotters and their small retinue, as if to measure their in significance in comp arisomwith his own numerous min, and then stalking to the table threw upon it two belts.- of wampum, 'of different colors—the war arid the peace. belt. ! "We came,' he exclaimed, "to oEer to you two pieces of Wampum; they are of diffMent colon.; you know• what they mean;' you can take which. you, And turning - upon hib heel, reurnedlil, seat. • The chiefs drew themsetv . !es up in the conscious fleas of having hurled detiande in the teeth of the white men.

"I:ro,e, fierce Wild rriengazlA intently at 'Clark. •The wericaus saw that ;the crisis hail arrived; they rout-i a., lon gerdoubtithatthe Indians understood the advatitaze they possessed, and were disposed to use it: and a commonsense of danger caused each e:,e in lint on the leading commissioner. ' He sat undisturbed. and apparently careless. untilchief who had thrown the belts upon this table hdd taken his seat; then, with a small cane which hd held in his hand, hr" he reached, as if playfulisi. toward the w.ir he'., entangling the, end of the stick in it, drew it/to wards him, and then with a twitch of the Ane.j threw the'heit in the midst of the chhifs. The ell feet was electric. Every Man in council, ),If each party sprang to theist - eat—Mc sivage, with a loud ! exclamation of astosishmerrt,-Hugh2 - 41 e Amer icons in eipeetion of a hopeless condict against overwhelming numbers. Clark alone was unawel. The/vpression of his countenance changed to a ferocious sternness; and his eyes flashed, but otherwis/ he was unmov ed. A bitter smile was slighil/perceptible on his I compressed lips, as he gazei l on that savage band. !whose hundred eyes were lie Xt fercely in horrid ; exultation upon him, as the f, , stood like a pack of f wolves at _bay,, thirsting/for blood, and re uly to j rush upon bins, wheneier one bolder than the rest should commence the attack. It was one of those, moments of indecision, when the slightest weight ! thrown into either se / ale will niche it preponderate: j a moment in whic)t a bold man. conversant with the secret springs / of human ac tion, may seize upon the minds of all around 11;m, and sway them at his will. Such a ton was the intrepiil He spoke, and there was no man bold enough to _gainsay him—none that could return the tierce glance of his eye. Raking his arm and was ing his hand towards the door, he e:;c1 ai "D0. , -,.! you may go!'' The Indians liestta•e•l lor a niotneat. I and then rushed tunaultuouily out of the council room. The. decision of Clark on the envision, saved himself:and comrades from the MISS:ICM The plan of the . Savages was artfully laid; he had read it in their features and confine, as plain as if it had been written on a scroll before them. He met it in a manner unexpected; the crisis was brought on sooner than, it was'intended; and on a principle similar to that by which, when a line of battle is brokem, the.dismayed troops fly Leore order can be reStored. The new and .suld:!n turn git at to thee Proceedings by the energy ot Clark confound ed the itOlaris, and before 'the broken thread of their scheme could be reunited, they were panic struck. They hal come prepared to brow beat, to humble, and then to destroy. they looked for remonstrance .and altercation, tar the luxury of drawing the toils gradually around their victims; 'of beholding their agony and degradation, and bringing on the final catastrophe by an appointed signal, - .When. the kch ' eale should be ripe. They had expeeted to see on our pin gre tier caution, and a skilfully playing off, end an unwillingness to take ofence, which were gradually goaded into an alarm, irritation and submission. The cool contempt with which their first insult was thrown back into their teeth surprised them and they were foiled by the self-possession of one man. They had no Teenniseh among them, no master-spirit to change their plan so as to ;adopt a new exigency, and those braves, who in many a battle had shown themselves to be Men of true valor, quailed before the Moral superiority which assumed the vantage ground of a position they could not comprehend, and therefore feared to assail; Onother Allirderous .4ffuir.Some disagreement having arisen between Dennis Murphy, of Benton, and S—Crawford, of .Mineral Point, W.

SONS OF TEMPLIVINCE.—The New Yoilt even ing Mirror, of the rdth, speaking of the celebration in . that city, of the Suns of Temperance says "the cold water army has invaded our city to day, and the C, - oton is decidedly up—every fountain and by. drant is playing joyously, and sending forth copi ous streams to cool and gladden its votaries.— The procession is highly imposing—the music, re galia, banners and emblems, and the host of per sons forming a line of almost interminable length, constitute one of the grandest affairs we have wit nessed for sonic time." CASTLE OF SAN JUAN DULLOA.—What is certainly a Angular fact, says the New York Cou rier & Enquirer the stone of which this fortification is now constructed was obtained from one of the quarries among the Highlands on the Hudson.— A large number of heavy guns, some of them Paixhans,have been mounted; a force of about 3000 men is there; competent and skilful English' and French engineers have the direction ;of the works, and the whole is under the command of Gen. Bra vo, one of the ablest and bravest generals in the Mexican service. • The President of the United States, says the U nited States .

In the lower part of the city consider- able damage, was.done to garden shrubbery. and Window glass. Many of the Houses on Market street, between 9th and 10th streets; were inun dated. The familfes were compelled to remove their futuittue., The deep gully west of that por tion of Market street, was filled nearly to the lev el of the street. The rain for about half an hour fell lit torrents." ACCOUNTED Fort,—The Mexican papers assert that "the Mexican Generals shed tears when they found the river so high they could not cross it to wreak their valiant patriotism on the cowardly in vader, under his own intrenchments," This ac counts for the riee in the Rio Grande, by which so many Mexicuis lost their lives, when running from the Resaca de la Palms. gz!rSanta Anna was still at Havana May 2d, and seemed to be very indifferent as to what now happens in Mexico, though he higly disapprol ed of the conduct of his government towards the Uni ted States.
