ERIE, SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 22,
LAST BATTLE OP FONTANELLE, TEE OMAHA
The Missouri Republican ' of a late d a t e , ma
tions the following letter from a correspondent,
giving a detailed account of his death, by the
hands of his enemies, the Sioux. It revives all
our recollections of the early settlement of the
whites on the frontiers, as well as the scenes de
scibed by Bird and Cooper, in their novels of
Indian warfare It is the very essence of ro
mantic history, and the melancholy fall of
Fontanelle will be honored with a tear of sym-
pathy.
WULv R,vrs, Kama Territory, Aug. 1. 18.6.5.
Logan Fontanelle, chief of the Omahas, h as
just beei slain and scalped at Loup Fork, Ly a
band of Sioux. Logan was a noble fellow, and
in this last mortal conflict, he dispatched several
of the enempo the spirit land before, to herald
the coming of his own brave soul. He fought
long, desperately, and with great effect, but
numbers finally overcame him, and his life de
parted through a hundred wounds. He died a
martyr for his people, and his name should be
carved upon fame's brightest tablet.
lle was on his annual hunt with his nation.—
A number of his lodges were pitched upon the
plains near Loup Fork. A young warrior one
day rode around the adjacent hills, be espied a
powerful band of Sioux encamped along a stream
in a seqnstered vale. He hastened to inform
Logan of the proximity and power of their na
tural foe Logan ordered his people to pack im
mediately, and proceed in a straight line and
with all speed for home, while he would remain
behind, and divert the Sioux by false camp fires,
and other devices, from a direct pursuit of them.
This was about twilight. The people got under
way as quickly as possible, but not too soon; for
scarcely had they turned a highland when
several Sioux warriors came in sight •and dis
covered the place of their recent encampment.
They examined it and found that the Omahas
had been there, and then they returned to notify
their chief, and bring an adequate force to pur
sue and slaughter them Logan, from a biding
place, saw and knew that no time was to be lost
in drawing their attention from the trail, which
they would soon discover and follow, and mount
ing his horse, he dashed away at full speed
across the prairie, at right angles with the route
his tribe had taken, and struck a fire about eight
miles distant on an eminence where the Sioux
could distinctly see it. ile had scarcely done
so before a powerful band were upon the spot
that he and his people had so lately left, and
who, without stopping to distinguish the trail,
started for the fire which they saw rising against
the dlear; blue sky, and where they expected in
another moment to inibure their hands in the gore
of their unguarded victims. But Logan had not
been unweary. As scion as the fire was lighted,
he again mounted and rode on eight or ten miles
farther, and kindled another fire just as they
reached the first. This rather bewildered them.
They distuount,d and examined the graund. Lo
gan, anticipattug tl,is, had trotted and walked
his horse a , ,uud it, so as to wake the app..arance
upon the _rase of treading of a dozen horses; and
thi s threw them into the belief that a small body
had lingered behind and kindled this tire and
then gone on ti where they could Bei the new
fire burning, and so they followed with renewed
avidity. the maw thing happened ti before.—
Logan had gone cm and another fire met their
astonished gaze, while the same sort of footprints
were about the one around which they were now
gathered. Their suspicions were now awakened.
They examined the gr ,und more clos'ly, both
f,ir and near, Ind ,liseov,•red that a solitary horse.
t u n a had deceived them, and they knew that it
was tor the io.ie purpose of leading them off from
the pursuit ,d the thirty whose encampment [Bey
had first dr-c .v, red.
Logan —ive them going round with glaring
torches, and understood their object, and knew
that the only viiuueo of his safety MIN in his im
mediate flight towards his home; and he farther
knew that oy th • tune they could retrafe their
way to their place starting, and find' the trail
t h at hi s own p.,, r ie had taken, they would be
beyond the r.:ieli of danger
The Sioux, in tue meanwhile, also divided in
to smaller bands, the largest of which was to re
turn and pursue the Omahas, and the others to
endeavor the capture the one who had misled
them They knew that it must be an Omaha,
and that he would either go farther and kindle
another watch-tire, or start for his nation in a
straight line; and therefore one party went on a
little farther, and the other sprell oat towards
the Ohama country, for the purpose of intercept
ing him IA ui pressed forward ss rapidly as
his jaded 1-14: , ..1 could bear bun, until he thought
he had entirely eluded thew; but as the day
dawned, to his horror and dismay, he saw his
pursuers elo.e upon his track lie turned hi,
course for a ravine, which he , li.tinguished at a
distance, coverod with trees and undergrowth.—
succeededlie in reaching it, and just within its
verge he met an Indian girl dipping water from
a spring She was startled and about to cry fur
help, when he hastily assured her that he needed
protection and assistance. With the true in
stincts of a noble woman, she appreciated his situ
ation in an instant, and all her sympathies were
with him. She directed him to dismount and
go to a small natural bower to which she pointed
him, in the verge of the woods, while she would
mount his horse and lead his pursuers away
lie obeyed her, and she mounted his horse and
dashed on in a serpentine way through the woods,
leaving marks on the bushes by which she could
be traced. The pursuers soon followed. When
she got some distance down the branch, she role
into the water and followed its descending course
fora few steps, making her horse touch his sides
and then leave footprints in that direction, and
then turned up the bed of the stream and rode
above the place at which she entered it, without
leaving a trace, and back to where Logan war
concealed. She told him to mount and speed
away while his pursuers were going in a con
trary direction down the ravine. fie did so, and
got a long distance out of si:ght, and again thought
himself out of danger, when in a valley just in
trout of him, he saw fifty braves coming up the
hill aud meeting him. They were some of those
who were returning from the pursuit of hie peo
ple. Ile changed his direction and tried to °a
gape, but his poor horse was too much exhausted
to bear him with sufficient speed. With savage
yells they plunged their rowels on their horses'
,ides and gained upon him. 4 1 . !‘s the foremost
approached within good shooting distance, Logan
tit, lied suddenly and sent a bullet through his
bratu. 'l'heu, loading as he galloped on , he soon
after ivade another bite the dust; and lien
other; and another, until four were strewn along
the plain. Just then, however, as he was again
reloading, his horse stumbled and full and the
band rushed upon him before he had well re
covered from the shock. lie was shot with bud
lots aud arrows and gashed with tomahawks, and
pierced with lances; notwithstanding all which,
be arose amid his foes, and with his clubbed rifle
and buu tang knife, he piled around him five pro
strate bodies, and fell with his back upon their
corpses ;ind expired, still fighting.
He was scalped and hundreds , of warriors
held a great war-dance over him.
Thus Logan Fontanelle departed, and his
noble spirit was followed to the spirit land by
the sighs and lamentations of his nation, sad the
sympathies and aspirations of the breve of every
land.

The Blessing of a Good Deed.
BY T. B. ARTHUR
"1 shAld like to do that every day, for a year
t o cone," said Mr William Everett, rubbing
his hands together, quickly, in irrepreasiblo
p I eesnre.
Mr. Everett was a stock and money broker,
and that just made an "operation" by which a
c leer gain of two thousand dollari was secured
He was alone in his office, or so much alone as
not to feel restrained by the presence of another
And yet, a pair of dark, sad eyes were fixed in
tently upon his self satisfied countenance with
an expression, had he observed it, that would at
least have excited a moment's wonder The
owner of this pair of eyes was a slender, rather
poorly dressed lad, in his thirteenth year, whom
Mr Everett had engaged a short time previous
ly, to attend in his office and run upon errand.,
Ilt• Wai the son of a widowed mother, now in
greatly reduced circumstances. His father had
becu an early friend of Mr. Everett. It was
this fact which led to the boy's introduction in-
to the broker's office.
T. o thousand dollars." The broker had
uttered aloud his satisfaction: but now he com-
mused with himself silently. "Two thou-and
dollars! A nice little sum that fora single day's
work. I wonder what Mr. Jenkins will say to
morrow morning, when he hears of such an ad
vance in these securities."
From some cause, this mental reference to
Mr. Jenkins did not increase our friend's state
of exhileration. Most probably there was wutio
thing in the transaction, by which he had gain
ed so handsome a sum of money, that, in calmer
moments, would not bear too close a scrutiny—
something. Mr. Everett would hardly liked to
have blamed faith to the world. Be this as it
may, a more sober mind, in time, succeeded, and
although the broker was richer by two thousand
dollars than when he arose in the morning, he
was certainly no happier.
Au hour afterward a busintms friend eatue in
to the office of Mr. Everett and gaid:
"Have you heard about Cussed!"
"No; what of him?"
"Ite's said to be off to California with twenty
thousand dollars in his pockets more than justly
belongs to him."
"What!"
"To true, I believe. His name is in the list
of passengers who left Neff York in the steamer,
yesterday."
" The scoundrel!" exclaimed Mr. Everett,
who, by this time, was considerably excited
"lle owes you i does he?" , said the friend
"I lent him three hundred dollars only day
before yesterday."
"A clear swindle."
"Yes it is. 0, if I could only get my hands
on him "
Mr r;vrr.•tt's countenance, as he :mid Allis, did
not K.• it v.•!y amiable expremion
"1) , o t g••i excited about it," said the other,
"I think . e let you off quite reasonable. Was
that sum all be aske d to borrow?'
,/
"I know two, at least, who are parer
couple of thousand by his absence."
Hut Mr. Everett was excited. For half .Su
hour after the individual loft, who had commu
nicated this unpleasant piece of news, the bro
ker walk, ,1 the floor of his cffice with compress
ed lips, a I ,weriug brow, and most unhappy feel-
Tio• two thousand dollars gain, inUO way
balatie• •; in hi. mind, the three hutvirrd lost
Tho f l 1,1/I.• preated by the one hod n,,t
p ctiough to escape obliteration by the
other
Of all this, the boy with the dark, sad .ye 4
had taken quick cognizance. And he compro
headed all. Scarcely a moment had his glauce
been removed from the countenance or form of
Mr. Everett, while the latter walked with une
ven step., the floor of his office.
thy• afternoon waned, the broker's mind
grew calmer The first excitement produced by
the hx.k., passed sway; but it left a Mglibo of de
pression and disappointment that completely
shadowed his feelings.
Intent as had been the . lad's observation of
his employer during all the time, it is a little
remarkable that Mr. Everett had not once been
couscious of the fact, that the boy's eyes were
st , .adily upon him. In fact, he bad been, as was
usu.lly the case , too much absorbed iu things
eimth•rning himself, to notice what was peculiar
to another, unless the peculiarity were one al
ready use.; to his own advantage.
"John, - said Mr. Everett,?turning suddenly
to the boy, and enoountering his large earnest
eyes, "Take this note round to Mr. Legman."
John sprang to do his bidding; received the
note, and was off with unusual fleetness. But
the door, which closed upon his form, did not
shut out the expression of his sober face and
humid glance from the vision of Mr. Everett—
In fact, from some cause, tears had sprung into
the eyes of the musing boy, at the very moment
lie was called upon to render a service; and
quicker than usual though his motions were, he
never failed to conceal them.
A now train ofthoughts now entered the bro
ker's mind. The child of an old friend had been
taken into his office from a kind of charitable
feeing, though of low vitality. He paid him a
couple of dollars a week, and thought, little mote
about him or his widowed mother. He had too
many important interests of his own at stake, to
have his mind turned aside for a trifling matter
like this. But now, as the image of that sad
fax—for it was unusually sad at the moment
when Mr. Everett looked suddenly towards the
boy—lingered in his mind, growing every mo
ment more distinct and more touchingly beauti
ful, many considerations of duty and humanity
were excited. He remembered his old friend,
and the pleasant holm they bad spent together
is yaws long since passed, ere generous feelings
bad ikaalesed iato ice s or gives ?hoe to ea all
pervading selfuttutesa. He remembered too, the
beautiful girl his friend had married, ant bow
proudly that friend presented her to their little
world, as his bride The lad had her large, dark
eyes, only the light of joy bad faded therefrom,
giving place to a strange radiates.
All this was now present to the mind of Mr.
Everett, and though be tried one or twice;du
ring the boy's absence, to obloterate . these recol
lections, he was unable to do iv).
"How is your mother, John?" kindly inquir
ed the broker, when the lei returned from his
errand.
The question was unexpected that it con
(coed him
"She's well—thank you, sir N.', —not very
well, either—thank you, 11r."
And the boy's fare tlualhal amt.]. his eyes suf
fused..
"Not very well, you Mr Ev , rett spoke
with kindness, and in a tone of interest "Nr.t
sick, I hope?"
"No sir: not very sick. But—"
"But what, John''" said t,lie broker, encour
agingly
"he's in trouble," half -taturuercl the boy,
while the color th•epened on his face
"Ab, indeed! I'm - , ,rry for that What is
the trouble, John?"
The tears which John lila boe.n vainly striv
ing to repress, n..w gu,llo I over f tee, and
with a boyish shame - for the wenknei , , turned
away and ..truggle , l for a time with his over
mastering feehug
