A THRILLING: SCENE
The subjoined startling sketch is from anew
work by Judge Hall, entitled "The Wilderness and 1,
the War Path," and is descripti: e.of the coolness I
and presence of mind of Colonel George Rogers
Clark, at a council at North Bend:— .
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. Thee had otreriid an insult to the re
awned leader of the Long! Daises to which they
knew it would be hard fUt to klbrt , :t, V. bile

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

their comOement of men, "611 good and true," and

Don't laugh reader! The above paragraph ac
tually appeared in the Gazette of yesterday mom
in in noticing the publication of Thomas -1. R,af.-

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 . Gii . zette; has a perfect model of the
castle, with all its 'appendages, additions, floating
batteries; fie., furnished to him, or to an American of
ticer for hint,. by the :very- 'engineer that Superin
tended the work for Mexico.
G.t.ra..rxx Intsax.tx-.—A letter writer from
lc;-.• Orleans states that. -Caritaik Tobin. an old
..caMpaigner of Gineral.Taylor, wile*: In Florida
and a native of Dublin, has raised . a company of
Irishmen for Texas.. When Gem:Gairies'ealled on
the Governor Last year for some men, Mr. Tobin
raised over 40U,.iome were old soldiers, who serv
ed in the British rtmks r others who served in the
United States service; '
The St. LOUis Reporter, of : June 4, says: 7 —"Thii
city was visited by a-:severe hail and rain.atorni
yestefday. 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. It was believed at Havana that there
would i.e no privateers fitted out to depredate on
the commerce of this country.
