Indian Eloquepce.
What can be imagioed more impressive
than a warrior rising in the council to address
those who bore the scarred marks of their
title to fame and to captainship? The dig
nified stature—the easy repose of limbs—
the graceful gesture—the dark,speak ing eye;
excite admiration and expectation. We
would anticipate eloquence from an Indian.
He has animating remembrances—a poetry
of language, which exact rich and apposite
metaphorical allusions, even for ordinary
conversation—a mind which, like his body,
has never been trammelled and mechanized
by the formalities of society, and passions
which, from the very outward restraint im
posed upon them,burn more fiercely within.
There is, a mine of truth in the reply of Red
Jacket, when called a warrior: "A warrior!"
said he; "I am an Orator-1 was born an
orator."
There are not many speeches remaining
on record.but even in this small number there
is such a rich,yet varied vein of ail the char
acteristics of true eloquence, that we never
rise from their persudl with regret that so
few have been preserved. No where can
be found a poetic thought clothed in more
captivating simplicity of expression,than in
the answer of Tecumseh to Governor Han.
risen, kJ the conference at Vincennes. It
contains a high moral rebuke and a sarcasm,
heightened in effect by an evident conscious
ness of loftiness above the reach of inault.—
At the close of his address ho found that no
.chair had been placed for him, a neglect
which Governor Harrison ordered to be re
medied as soon discovered. Suspecting,
perhaps, that it was more an affront than a
mistake, with an air of dignity elevated al
most to haughtiness, he declined the seat
proffered with the words, "Your father re
quests you to take a chair," and answered
as he calmly disposed himselfon the ground:
"My father! The sun is my father, and the
earth is my mother. / will repose upon her
bosom."
Some of the speeches of Skenendoah, a
celebrated Oneida chief, contain the truest
touches of natural eloquence. He lived to
a great ago; and in his last oration in coun
cil, he opened with the following sublime
and beautiful'sentence, "Brothers: I am an
aged hemlock. The winds of an hundred
winters have whistled through my branches
and lam dead at the top." Every feeder
who has seen a tall hemlock, with a dry and
leafless top surmounting its dark green foli
age, will feel the force of the simile, "I am
dead at the top." His memory, and his
vigorous powers of youth had departed for
ever.
No less felicitous was the close of a speech
made by Pushmataha, a venerable chief, of
a western tribe, at acouncil held,we believe,
at Washington, many years since. In allud
ing to his extreme age, to the probability
that he might not even survive the journey
back to his tribe, he said, "My children will
walk through the forests,and the Great Spir
it will whisper in the tree trips,and the flow
ers spring up in their trails—but Pushmataha
will hear not—he will - see the
. flowers no
more. He will be gone. His people will
know that he is dead. The news will come
to their ears, as the spund of the fall of a
mighty oak in the stillness of the woods."
Interesting Law Case.
The Athens (Tenn.) Journal has the fol.
lowing notice of an interesting case which
was recently decided at that place by Judge
Keith :
A Cherokee Indian confined by General
Scott for improper conduct was brought be
fore the Judge on a wait of habeas corpus,
with a view of procuring his discharge.
The case was argued at full length, and with
considerable ability—on the part of the
prisoner by Judge Roane, of North Carao
line, and J. F. Gillespy, Esq. of Madison.
villa, Tennessee; in defence of the applica•
lion, by General Scott, who appeared in
person, and made his own defence, assisted
however, by Major Jarnagin, who was em
ployed, we suppose, by the Cherokee au
thorities, to attend to any general question
which might arise in the course of the in
vestigation, involving the general interests
of the Cherokees on the, subject of emigra
tion.
For the prisoner it was contended, first,
that he was a citizen of North Carolina, be
cause his ancestor had previously taken a
reservation in that State under the treaties
of 1817 and 1819; and featly, that he had
been permitted by General Smith, superin
tendent of emigration, with the approbation
of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, to
remain in the country. On the other side
it was contended that the prisoner was not
a citizen, and that the permission to remain
was void, being iu violation of the treaty of
1835-'36, and not given by the authority of
the President of the United States. Gen.
oral Scott; moreover, claimed the right, and
did, in form, in the body of his return to the
writ of habeas corpus, revoke the permis
aion giv en
. to the prisoner to remain in the
country.
Judge Keith determined, in substance,
that the prisoner was no citizen—that, by
the terms of the treaty of 1835-'B, the
Cherokees were bound to leave the coun
try ceded, and the time agreed upon in
which they bound themselves to remove
having expired, the; Government of the U.
nited States not only had authority, but
were bound, to remove the Indians from the
ceded territory ; and that the judicial offi
cers of the State possessed no authority to
discharge from the custody of the officers
charged with the removal of tho Indians,
the body of any prisoner legally taken in
the execution of his order or in discharge
of his official fbnctions ; and that the per.
intasion to the prisoner to remain, if given,
wes voids no matter by whom granted, as
no power existed in any officer of the GeV
411111110ot to grant a permission to any indi
vidual in violation of the terms of the treaty.
*br the Geologists.
It ts said that ) traces of human exis
tanco aro to bo found of a data anterior to
that of the last formation of limestone. At
Oreanlearo Point, in this city, and near the
haws, former►y occupied by ConimoCvre
Rodgers, is a fragment of gneiss—ono of
the primitive rocks, and the next oldest to
granite—on the upright face of which are
the impressions of an entire human foot and
of the heel of another. It was found on
the shore of the Potomac, at the water's
edge, and removed, at the expense of the
Commodore, to the place where it now is.
The formation, for miles around, is alluvial.
Those impressions bear a close resem
blance to the drawings of those, in School
craft's Travels, which he saw at Harmony,'
on what he terms a "tabular mass of lime
stone," brought from Missouri. —Nat. had.
REDFIELD'S THEORY OF STORMS
We consider the theory of our fellow•cit
izen, IVilliam C. Redfiefd, Esq..relative to
storms, as fully established. Tho discovery
is one of great importance, and on the oth
er side of the water, appears tube duly ap
preciated. At a lute meeting of the British
Association, at Newcastle, says the London
Literary Gazette :
Licut. Col. Reid rend a short paper sus•
(Dining the opinions of Mr. Redfield, rela•
five to storms.
Professor Bache stated that Mr. Red•
field's opinions had been controverted by
Mr. Espy, of Philadelphia, who hold that
storms were created by winds blowing into
k.,centre made by condensation of atinos
phbre; and ho (Mr. I3acho) had himself
surveyed the course of a land tornado, ►n
which all trees, buildings, &c. had Wen in
wards, as if this wore the true exposition of
the phenomenon. From the centre ho pre
sumed that the air rushed upward, and thus
the tempest continued.
Professor Stonily explained his views,
and compared the motion of the aerial phe
nomenon to that of wator running out of a
tub, in the bottom of which a small hole
was wide.
Sir John Herschel spoke highly in com
mendation of Col. Reid's paper, and of the
important consequences to which the furth
er investigation of the subject and the accu
mulation of data must lead. He illustrated
it by an amusing allusion to Franklin, who,
when contemptuously asked by the sailor,
"What has any landsman ever done in in•
quiries of this kind 1" replied, "Why, they
have done one thing ; -for landsmen invented
navigation." A knowledge of the present
subject will tench seamen how to steer their
vessels and save thousands of lives. The
spots on the sun were attributed by Sir John
to the passing of hurricanes over the disc of
that luminary.
BEET SIMAR M ANUFACTOEY.--The
Newburyport, Mass. Herald states that the
Beet Sugar Company of Northampton are
getting their buildingi ready to operate on
a large scale. They pay 85 a ton for beets,
and some of the farmers have raised 20 tons
to the acre. The manufacture is carried
per upon the German principle of drying,
grinding, and making of the powder a
strong decoction of sirup for crystallizing.
-• , ..*1i e fio---
SUGAR PROM BEETS.—The production of
Beet Sugar has become so extensive in
France that the colonial product is no lon
ger able to stand without injury a competi
tion with it, under the existing impost, and
the Chamber of Commerce of Havre has
accordingly addressed a strong remon.
strance to the Government against the con
tinuance of the duty on the colonial article.
It calls for a reduction of the duty, without
which the colonial sugar cannot maintain
the competition with indigenous (beet-root)
sugar in the markets of France. The
Chambers of Commerce of Bordeaux and
Nantes have also sent remonstrances to the
Ministry against the system which it seems
inclined to adopt with respect to this article.

wr is considered of groat importanco for tho
4b public to know tho following facts :
About four years ago, Solomon Hays, the per.
son to whom the celebrated Dr. Gridley had, on
his death hod, imparted the secret of making a
Liniment to cure the Piles, authorized it to bo
put up and sold undor tho name of Hays' Lini
ment, and enjoined that all who would use one
bottle for the Piles, and roturn the empty bottle,
should have the prices refunded.
Since that time, upwards of fifty thousaud bot
tles have been sold, out of which, not ten have
been returned, and thoso only because tho per
sons did nut use it properly!! Such wonderful
success, probably, never attended any other arti
cle. It is now determinod by the proprietor, that
the public shall be made more fully acquainted
with its virtues, au that thoso suffming with that
dreadful complaint may avail thetuaelvesof its use.
There aro many thousand certificates of tho
most respectable and authentic character many of
which may be oxaminod whore the article is sold.
It is usod as an external application, and for
many other complaints onumoratod in tho wrap
per. is considered remarkably effective ; but for
the Pizza it has no equal, and the Agents aro now
bound to refund in all cases where it does not cure.
It. is being used in Hospitals in our principal
cities with groat effem.
No Frozen.-•--This extraordinary chemiCal
composition, the result of scionco and the invon•
lion of a colobratod medical man, tho introduction
of which to the public was invested with the so
lemnity, of a doath-bod bequest, has since gained
a reputation unparalleled, fully sustaining the
correctness of tho lamented 1)r. Gridley's last
confession, that "ho dared riot die without giving
to postority the benefit of hie knowledge on the
subject," and ho therefore bequeathed to his friend
and attendant S. flays, the secret of his discovery.
It it is now used in the principal hospitals, and
the private practice in our country, first and most
x l ,
certainly fur the cure of tho n s, and also so
extensively and effectually a t bfilo credulity,
unless whore ita effects are iln sad. External.

Its oporation upon adults end childron in redu

and tightness of the chest by rolaxation of the

The common remark of those who havo 'mod it
in the Pim, is, "It acts like a charm."
It is need only as an external application, and
as sovoroign powor in curing the abovo named
complaints, is justified by scientific principles.
