Letter From Fort Wayne, Indiana. Editor of Juniata Sentinel and Republican, Mijftiutovu, Pa. Deab Sib : Since our last letter, Spring has fairly come, ai d supplanted old and hoary winter, who, with his usual dignity and respect for the do very maiden, retired without a murmur. She has felded us in robes of green. She has reached down and lifted up the head of the violet and bathed its little lortu with the d initiation of near en. She has brought buds and blossoms, birds and flowers, to once more beautify the short stopping place of man, and gladdeu Lis heart with her genial presence. "L'p Vlirorigh nature to nature's God, we look for hex author. Not as Spinoza would have ns look through the Pantheistical lens hieh sees all substance God, and God all substance, but with that sight that receives its intensity from the lids of inspiration, aud sees it as the effect and result of crea tion. St pirate and distinct, and but a ti tle coiupired with iiiiu who is inliuite and iniiiipotant (so much for Spring). In our former letter we commenced a lia.tr Kketch of the history of Indiana, anJ tier first inhabitants, be'ore proceeding any further let us take a causal glancs at pre. luatoric times which embraces Archaeology. Was there a time in the silent ages of the "past when the pulsations of a civilized peo ple throbbed on this continent I Is a ques tion that Archaeologist have after untiring research been able to anaacr in the affirma tive. That anterior to the Indians, a race ot civilized and sentient beings once taught and nurtured all the f undamental laws of vivUizatien and enjojed the grace and cul ture of the arts and sciences. His mould ering relics and antiquarian characterics that have been found are incontravertibie vvideoces that in oblivion sleeps a nslion that once waa in existence where we now occupy. Mexico aud South America when explored by the S laniards, abounded in jxtwerfu! and aell advanced nations whose knOAlcde of (lie arts and sciences were far superior to the Rations of the north Well regulated systems of government, and uniform tenets of religions worship charac terized this people, and the immensity of their undertakings is conclusive evidence that the country was densely populated Their pyramids cities, temples and other works ot magnificence and beauty, indicate their superior workmanship and skill that the ancestors of these people once inhab ited the fertile valleys of our great riveis, we think there is no doubt. Foi we see in the ruins that mark these places unmistak able signs coinciding with their ideas of de sign and habits. Ohio, New York', Indiana and other States are prolific in ruins and tumuli and otter characteristics of this ancient race. Whether it was the induce ments of a more genial clime, internal and sectional strile, or the encroachmeuts ot other Asiatic emigrants that induced them to migrate Southward we are unable to say, tiut while they retained their know ledge of The useful employment the Northern hordes sank into abject, degradation and barbar ism. Who and what were they f in study, ing the national and physiological charac ter of the Aztic and Toitic nations of Amer ica, a strong resemblance is noticed between thtm and the people of India, China aud Japan, the walled enclosures and innumera ble mocnds are counterparts of (he great walls of China, while the features ol skin, color and other striking characteristics are coincidences ef a similar nationality. Had we time and space we would like to give you a general description of the dif. teres ruins as found in this (State, but we will only mention one, found on the Wa. bash river, in Posey county. It is called the bone bank, from the vast number of skulls and bones that hare been unearthed by the washing of the river. Jugs, pots and other curious designs of pottery have been found, remarkable tor the skilled man ner in which they have been constructed. It is not in Europe alone, says Professor Cox, that we find a well founded claim of antiquity, for the art at making hard and durable stone by a mixture of clay, lime, aand and a mixture of stone, for I am sat isfied, says he, that this art was possessed by a race of people who inhabited this con tinent at a period to remote that neither tradition nor history can furnish any ac count of them, 11 any are the conjectures as to the origin and final dissolution of this once innocent and harmless people, whose rains indicate a race ef peaceful and con tented habits, never aggressive, but subject to the invasion of some inveterate foe. For hcir implements of war, and arrangements . for defense show that Ion? and bitter waa tba struggle that ensued before they relinquish ed their homes to that invading and san guinary foe who swept them from the face of a country that they had beautified and loved. From evidences given before, it is reasonable to snppose that the last surviv ing remnant went down beneath the iron heel ef the Spaniards in Mexico, and that north of this not a vestige remains, as the l-eorle found there by the Spaniards are now entirely extinct. Some Archaeolog ist attribute their extinction to some unu sual epidemic or terrible pestilence. But on this hypothesis, says an able author, w could not account for the indiscriminate aud conf used condition of their domestic utensils, war implements, and moans of de fence, with their skeletons, and earthen ware, which are found all mingled together showing that, as we said before, they went down, defending their homes against an in vading enemy. And this foe in all proba bility was the Indian who succeeded them. Their origin ever will be Wrapped in mys tery and ethnologists will study in vain to e - ni ana correct solution to this in. teresting problem. In our former letter we spoke or the fa mous treaty of Greenville, trfc!ch took place In 1793. In the year 1800, the Presi. dent ot the United States approved an act of Congress, which Civided the northwest territory illt0 two Mplhi,e gorern ,,,,. The seat of government of Indiana was lo cated in Vlncennes, with William Henry Harrison aa governor, where the first les sen or a general territorial court wa, held, commencing on March 8, 1801. While ho' legislature was convened until after the sep aration of Michigan which was transtered in 180o. The boundaries established bv the Greenville treaty gave t th Indian, a large amount of land in the territory, but by authority invested ia the governor, by the President of the United States, he was empowered to make further treaties with the Indians for the purpose of extinguish ing their title. Eight treaties were made by governor Harrison during this period. giving to the Lnited States a grand total of 29,719,5.10 acres. In 1808 the popula tion reached 28,000, 11,000 of these b?ing West of the Wabash river. There were in the territory in 1810 83 grist mills, 14 saw mills, 18 tanneries, 28 distilleries, 8 powder mills. 16 looms. 1.350 son.ninvwli.L in another division was made of the territory, striking off that part lying West of the Wabash river, and Vinconnes, north to the boundary line between Canada and the Lnited States. The total value of the manufactures about this time are estimated as follows : Woolen, cotton, hempen and flaxen cloths, and mixtures, $159,052; cot ton and wool spun in mills, (150 1 nails (20,0K)lwiiPds) $1,000; leather, tanned, $9,300; products of distil'irs, (35,950 gal lons) $1(5,230 ; gun powder, (3,600 pounds) $U00; wine, from grains, (90 barrels) $(", 000; maple sugar, (50,000 pounds) value nut stated. The time intervening between the treaty of Greenville and 1810, ia remarkable for tlie quietness and peaceful dispositions of the Judians, although trouble was brewing among thuui. At the instance of Tecnm th and his brother, no Shawnee Prophet always opposed to the cession of lands, and being influenced by officers of the British Indian Depirtmenis. they succeeded in stir ling up strong feelings of dislike for the whiles, aud effected the 'organizations of a strong and powerful confederacy, before which they openly proclaimed the treaties made with the United States null and or no bind iug force. The name of this Shawnee prophet, who was a full brother of Tecum soh, was Da-le-was-i-raw, which signifies (Loud Voice) but afterwards he assunred the naine ofPeni quat-a-wah (Open Door). The motives that inspired and induced him to excite his comiadcs to open rebellion, were no doubt, in his savage nature well warrant, ed, when he surveyed the downward and deterioating course of his people who were once a mighty nation, with no limits to their bunting ground. The strong and courageous spirit that once infused the hearts of his ancestors he had seen wane before the steady encroach meuts of the whites,- that were sweeping them aw.iy. lie denounced intemperance, and called down the anathmas or an insult-1 ed Great Spirit on the white race forgiving that to his brothers, which stole away their brains, made them abject slaves, and robbed j then: of that ancient virtue they once pos sessed. In fact some of the truths he preached should mantle the cheek of tha white man with blushes of shame. In con junction with him Tecnniseh was using every argument and inducement his savage nature could conceive of to array his dusky mates against the gradual encroachments of j that race he had learned to hate. In 1808, governor Harrison becoming alarmed at the disposition and menacing attitude of the Indians, deputized John Connor who had! always been on friendly terms with them, to carry a message to the S bawaess, which contained the following words : "My children, this business must be stop led I will no longer suffer it. You have called a number of men from the most dis tant tribes ti listen to a tool, who speaks not the words of the Great Spirit, but those of the devil ami British Agents. My chil dren, your conduct has much alarmed the w lute settlers. They desire that vou w ill send away these people, and if they wish to hare the uu poster with them, they can carry him. Let him go to the lakes, he can hear the British more distinctly." In le08 the prophet visited governor Har rison in person, assuring him that it was his desire to live in peace with the whites, and in an interview addressed bim as follows : Father, it is three years since I first be gan with that system of religion wnk-h 1 practice. The white people and some of the Indians were against me, but I had no other intentions than those to introduce among the Indians those good principles of religion w hich the white jople proless The Great Spirit told me to tell the Indians that be had made them and made the world ; that be had placed them on it to do good and not e il. I told all the red skins that the way they were in was not good and they ought to abandon it ; and that it is the cause of all the mischief the Indians suffer that wo must always follow the directions of the Great Spirit, determined to listen to nothing that is bad. Do not take up the tomahawk should it be offered by the Brit ish or by the Dong Nives. Do not meddle with any thing that does not elong to you, but mind your own business, and cultivate the ground, that your women and children may have enongh to live on. Afjr Father, I have informed you what we mean to do, and I call the Great Spirit to witness the truth of declaration." While the prophet repeated these peace offering overtures, governor Harrison was very much affected, and felt satisfied that his declaration were sincere, but time and the blood that sprinkled the battle field of Tippicanoe convinced him that the offering of these peace intentions were false. But as we fear we are intruding .on your time and space we must close for the present. Tours, ic. F. P. H. , Business for Ladies. Onr attention has been called to a new article for the nse of ladies, the invention of which has conferred an everlasting bless ing npon every lady. We refer to the Qneen City Bkirt suspenders for supporting ladies' skirts, the most desirable and bene ficial article ever Invented for the relief of women, many of whom have suffered years of miserable health caused solely by carry ing the weight of a number or skirts, com pletely dragging thum down. Something to support ladies' clothing ia absolutely necessary. These suspenders Are recom mended by our leading physicians to a'l la dies and young girls. Every lady should have them. They are sold only through la dy agens. A splendid opportunity ia offer ed to some reliable lady canvasser of this county to secure the agency for a pleasant and profitable business.
