AN ACCOUNT OF A VOYAGE
UP THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER, From St. Louis to its source; made under the order of the War Department, by lieut. Pike of the United States army, in the years 1805 and 1806. Compiled from Mr. Pike's Journal."
[CONTINUED.]
This establishment was made by the North West Company, eleven years before -- When it was under the direction of Mr. Bousky. It has now acquired such a degree of regularity as to allow the superintendent to live with tolerable comfort. They have horses which were obtained from the Indians on Red river.
They raise plenty of potatoes, and the lake furnishes them with pike, suckers, pickerel and white-fish, in any number. Beaver, deer, and moose are in abundance; but their principal dependence is on the wild oats which they purchase from the Indians at the rate of one dollar and a half the bushel. Flour, pork and salt may be considered as interdicted articles to persons not principals in the establishment. Flour sells at half a dollar, salt one dollar, pork 80 cents, sugar half a dollar, and tea four dollars and a half a pound! the sugar is obtained from the Indians, and made from maple juice.
Mr. Pike and Mr. Grant, accompanied by two of the party went to view the lake and found it more extensive than he had imagined. On leaving the stockade they met an Indian, whose countenance expressed great astonishment when told Mr. Pike was an American; for it is here confessed that the savages express the greatest veneration for the American character when it is connected with warlike achievements: they say, "the American is neither a Frenchman nor an Englishman, but a white Indian."
While at his post they eat Beaver dressed in every respect as roasted pig. It had an unpleasant taste; on the contrary was very excellent eating. The head of the moose which they also eat here, when well-boiled was equal to the tail of the beaver, to which in taste and substance it is similar."
They passed an island, one rapid and a small lake, and arrived about one o'clock at the falls of Packagama; the greatest impediment to the navigation of the Mississippi, except the falls of St. Anthony, between its source and the gulf of Mexico. They stopped for the night at three Indian lodges, which did not appear to have been left more than three days, and where they found a small parcel of split wood. By cutting down three sapling trees and weaving their branches into the windward side of the lodges so as to protect them from the storm, they had a tolerable nights lodging. Not being able to find a trail they had to pass through a dismal cypress swamp in the morning before they reached the river. They struck it a small lake, and perceived a track through it, which they knew to be Mr. Grant's by his mark, 'a cut off,' which had been agreed upon before they parted: following this they got on very well till they arrived at a small lake where the trail was entirely obliterated. After some search on the opposite side they discovered it and passed through a dismal swamp, beyond which was another lake, where the track was again lost. They directed their course for a point about three miles distant, & where they found a Chipewyan lodge of one man, his wife, five children and an old woman. They were received by these savages with great barbarity, the dogs were set on them and when they reached the lodge, the Indians endeavored to thrust their hands into their pockets. This was resented in such a manner as to let them know it would not be borne with through fear and that the strangers were Chawockmen or Americans. They were then treated more civilly. After arranging their camp, Mr. Pike went into the lodge, where he was presented with a plate of dried meat. He requested Miller to bring about two gills of whisky, which made them all good friends. The old squaw gave him some meat and offered some tobacco, the latter of which he declined; and in return gave her an order to his corporal for a knife, and half a carrot of tobacco. After Mr. Pike had gone to his own fire, the old man came out and proposed to trade beaver skins for whisky; meeting a refusal he returned and directly the old woman came out with a beaver skin; he returned to the charge with a quantity of dried meat, which on any other terms would have been acceptable; a peremptory refusal now, put an
end to all further application. Indeed it appeared that such was their desire of obtaining liquor, that a quart of whisky would have purchased all the whole family was worth! The next morning Mr. Pike took his cloaths into the Indian lodge to dress himself but was received very coolly -- a present to the wife a little salt and a dram to the Indian unasked for, appeared to ameliorate their manners; and they gave directions of the route to be pursued.
They passed the lake, or morass, and entered on the meadow through which the Mississippi winds its course of nearly 15 miles; at the head of this meadow they discovered that they had missed the river, which they regained by making a turn of 2 miles. They passed the fork made by the lake Sangsue branch and that from lake Winapic. Taking a west course, they crossed a meadow, or prairie. The river here is only 15 yards wide. They encamped about a mile above the meadow, where they saw an animal which, from the leaps it took, seemed to be a panther, but of twice the size of the panther on the lower Mississippi. It shewed some disposition to approach Mr. Pike, which he wished to encourage by squatting down, and desiring Miller to do the same behind him, but without effect. The night was so cold, that the spirits they had in a keg congealed to the consistence of honey. Early in the morning they left the camp, and passed a long-continued suite of meadows, until they reached the Sangsue lake, a little after mid-day. The sight of this lake was highly grateful to their feelings, it being the main source of the Mississippi; but the little lake Winapic is navigable to Red Cedar lake, which is the extremity of the navigation, by a communication of five leagues. Across the lake it was twelve miles to the establishment of the North-west Company which they arrived at about 10 o'clock in the evening. The gates were locked, but on knocking they were admitted, and received by Mr. M'Gillis with great politeness and hospitality; and had a supper of biscuit, butter and cheese!
After remaining a few days within doors, to recover from the fatigue of travelling, Mr. Pike, accompanied by Mr. M'Gillis, went to visit Mr. Anderson, the agent of Mr. Dickson, at the west end of the lake, in a situation favorable for trade. He went in a cabriole, formed to carry one person. It is constructed of boards planed smooth, and turned up about two feet in front where they come to a point; the width behind is about two feet and a half where there is a fixed box covered with dressed skins and painted. This box is open behind, but covered in front nearly two thirds of the length. When wrapped up in his buffalo robe, the traveller slides his feet into this box, or boot horzontally with his body upright and his back supported by a cushion. The horse draws in shafts. Thus seated, and the head and extremities covered by a fur cap, and other warm clothing, he bids defiance to wind & weather.
On the 16th Mr. Pike held a council with the chiefs and warriors of lake Winapic and Red lake. It required patience, coolness and some management, to attain what he had in view; which was, that these Indians should make peace with the Sioux, and deliver up their medals and flags; that some of their chiefs should accompany him to St. Louis, and, that they, as a proof of their pacific disposition, should make out of the Wabashaw's pipe, which lay before them, on the table. They all smoked, from the head chief to the youngest soldier; and generally delivered up their medals and flags, with a good grace; the Flatmouth excepted, who said he had left both his at his camp, three days from this place. He, however, promised to deliver them to Mr. M'Gillis to be forwarded. The old Sweet thought it most proper to return to the Indians of Red lake, Red river and Rainy lake river. The Flatmouth also said, it was necessary for him to return to his young warriors. The other chiefs did not think themselves of consequence enough to offer any reason for not following Mr. Pike to St. Louis; a journey of such extent and through hostile tribes.
Mr. Pike then replied, "he was sorry to find that the hearts of the Sauteurs of this quarter were so weak. That the other nations would say -- 'What, are there no soldiers at Leech, Red- and Rainy lakes, who have hearts to carry the calumet of their chief, to their father?' This had the effect of rousing them. The Buck and the Beau, two of the most celebrated young warriors, rose, and offered themselves for the employ. They were accepted as the children of Mr. Pike, whilst he was installed their father. The example of these two animated the rest, and it would not have been difficult to have raised a company a-
mong them. The Beau's brother to the Flatmouth. He then gave his young soldiers a dance, with a small dram; they wanted more liquor, but a firm denial convinced them of the folly of the attempt. On the next day, the Chief of the Land brought in his flag and medal. Preparations were made for the party to march. The Sweet was instructed how to send the 'parole' to the Indians of Red river. The soldiers then went through their manual exercise, and fired three blank rounds, which not a little astonished the Indians.
On the 28th of February, the party left Red Cedar lake on their return to St. Louis."
Several Indian chiefs came in to see Mr. Pike. With them he held several conversations. Thomas, the Fols Aveine chief gave assurances that he would interest himself in obliging the Paunta to deliver up the men who had committed recent murders on the Quinsecon and Rock rivers; and, if necessary, he would make it a national quarrel on the side of the Americans. This chief is of a noble and majestic figure, and an extraordinary hunter; as an instance of this it is related, that he killed forty elk and a bear in one day, chasing the former from the dawn till evening. He is animated in the delivery of his speeches. He appears very much attached to the Americans. He gave his pipe to be presented to the Sauteurs, on their arrival, with assurances of safety on their voyage, and his wish that they would descend the river. The Fils de Killien-Rouge also gave his pipe, to be presented "to the Sauteur Indians on their arrival; to make them smoke, and to assure them of his friendly disposition, and that he would wait to see them at Mr. Dickson's."
In a long conversation with a "Reynard," he professed not to believe in an hereafter; but, that the world would be drowned at some future period; and a question with him was, how it was to be repeopled? Other Indians, however, of his nation, say he is singular in this opinion.
In an hunting excursion on the opposite side of the river to the station, Mr. Pike ascended a mountain which borders on the prairie. Here he found a stone on which the Indians sharpen their knives, and a war club half finished. From this elevated position the eye wanders over vast prairies, with scarcely any other interruption than scattering clumps of trees, which, at a distance, have the appearance of mountains; in two or three of those the smoke is seen curling in its ascent over their tops; it points out the habitation of the wandering savage, and often leads the bloodthirsty warrior to his defenceless prey.
The voyage of Mr. Pike suspended, for a time at least, this horrid warfare, through a vast extent of country. Peace followed his steps, from the prairie des Citens to the lower Red river! If a subaltern officer with 20 men, at such a distance from the seat of government can produce so great a change in the minds of savages, what may not be expected when a great and independent power, instead of blowing the flames of discord, exerts its whole influence in the promotion of peace? Such are the reflections which Mr. Pike made on viewing the country below him, and the immediate effects which had flowed from the expedition intrusted to his care."
During Mr. Pike's stay among the Paunch Indians, he says, "in the afternoon a great game at cross was played on the prairie, between the Sioux on one side, and the Reynards on the other. It is played with a ball made of some hard substance covered with leather, and cross sticks, which have a round part covered with net work and a handle three feet in length. The parties being ready, and the bets made, sometimes to the amount of many thousand dollars, the goals are set up on the prairie at the distance of half a mile. The ball is then thrown up in the middle; when each party endeavors to drive it to the opposite goal, and round the post which is there fixed. The ball is then again carried to the middle, and the contest repeated, until one of the parties wins four times, which determines the game. It is an interesting sight, to thus behold two or three hundred naked savages contending on the plain. The one who drives the ball round the poll is highly applauded by his companions. Sometimes he who catches the ball in his racket, depending on his swiftness in running, endeavors to carry it to the goal; and, if he finds himself too closely pursued, hurls it forward with all his strength, to an astonishing distance, where both sides have their flanking parties, ready to receive it. They often keep the ball passing in the air for hours before the victory declares for either party. In the game played here, the Sioux were the
victors, more from their skill and dexterity in throwing the ball, than their swiftness of foot."

AMERICAN BIOGRAPHY.
DIED, at Calcutta, on Tuesday evening, the 23d Sept. 1806, JAMES MURRAY, Esq. late major in the service of Holkar. He was a most amiable man, and an unerring soldier. He had, during a long career of honorable service, acquired a handsome fortune, and was on the eve of his departure to his native land, to enjoy in dignified repose the hard-earned fruits of his dangers and toils. But, alas! Death, whom he had so often faced, and never feared, by a sudden and unexpected attack on him cut him off in the prime of his days; and on Wednesday morning he was committed to the silent grave, a melancholy instance of the vanity of human expectations, possessions and honors. Some of his companions in arms attended his funeral, and bade him his sod with many tears, warm from congenial and affectionate hearts.
Major Murray was a native of North America. The ships of the United States laying in the river had their flags hoisted half mast, during the day, as a tribute of respect to the memory of their brave countryman.
The following circumstances relating to this gentleman have been communicated to the editors of this Gazette for publication, by a gentleman who arrived here on the Juliana from Calcutta.
Major Murray was a native of the state of Rhode-Island--his real name was Lillibridge; why he assumed the name of Murray is not known. At an early age left his relations in consequence of some ill-treatment he had received from some one of them, and went to sea; after a number of voyages he arrived at Tranquebar on the coast of Coromandel about the year 1790, where he formed the resolution of going into the interior for the purpose of entering into the service of some one of the petty princes, who at that time were particularly desirous of having Europeans as officers, to command their troops. In resolution he accomplished in company with another person (whose name is unknown) with some difficulty, as they had to pass the posts then possessed by the English, who were extremely vigilant to prevent Europeans going into the country. The life which Lillibridge now led required a constitution as robust as he possessed, an invincible courage, and a presence of mind which no danger could dispel. It is well known what species of petty warfare has for many years existed almost unremittedly in the vast peninsula of India: the continual jarring of interests, the jealousy of various small powers of each other, joined with the intrigues of the Europeans who have alternately held possessions on the coast, have made that unhappy country the seat of rapine, desolation and war. It was in the service of the Maharajahs that Lillibridge became noted for his superior bravery. With these people he continued nearly 15 years, traversing the country from Cape Comerin to the frontiers of Persia. In the service of Holkar, the celebrated chief of the Maharajahs, Lillibridge, who was now called Murray, became first known to the British, by saving at the most imminent hazard of his life, the lives of some of their officers had fallen into Holkar's hands, and had ordered them to be put to the sword. It was shortly after this business that he quitted the service of Holkar, and a number of cavalry in his own name, which he took possession of a district country. Before he attained this, he experienced every reverse that such derring could be subject to, being at the head of only 7 or 800 more than half armed. When he broke out between the British and Holkar, Murray immediately proclaimed loyalty to the British government in the part of the country where he was, and joined lord Cornwallis with about 7000 horse. It was at this time that the marquis Wellesley issued a proclamation recalling all British subjects from the service of the native princes, on penalty, in case they did not comply, of being treated as traitors, and their rewards be made prisoners. Murray was not estimated as one in the proclamation, which by those who were not included, and who could escape in different situations, was immemorial. Several in the service of Holkar, so unfortunate as not to get murdered by him.
Murray, coming in under circumstances from the others, the British general with g

tion; and there was seldom a dangerous service in which he was not employed—remaining still with the command of the cavalry he brought with him. At the siege of Bhubpore where the British army lost nearly 10,000 men, in four attempts to storm, Murray was in continual action, and justly obtained the character of the best partizan officer in the army. Holkar was outside of the British with seventy or eighty thousand horse, and the signal of assault on the fortress by the British, was the signal for the attack on the outside. The events of that siege are but little known, as the British kept them secret. It was certainly a most bloody business, and shewed but little generalship, or even common sense, on the part of Lord Lake.
At the conclusion of the war, Murray, who had accumulated a handsome fortune, determined on returning home, and for this purpose remitted his funds to Calcutta, and repaired there himself. He was but little satisfied with the rewards he had met from the British government in India, for services which were certainly of eminent utility. He had been made a nominal major in the service, and received permission to return to America with half pay. He declared to the writer of these particulars, that it was his intention to return again to India, if he could get a few brave fellows to join him; a few such, landing on an unfrequented part of the coast, and getting into the interior among the Mahrattas, would be sufficient to shake the British empire in India to its centre. It is to the character of this man and two or three other Americans who have signified themselves in India, that we owe the honor of being included in the treaties between the British government and Scindia and Holkar, by one of the articles of which, the two latter expressly stipulate to engage no Americans in their service.
A few days before Murray was to embark for America, a fall from his horse caused an internal rupture, which, being ignorantly treated, ended in a mortification in his bowels, and in death.
Major Murray was of middling stature, countenance was good, his person well formed his agility was remarkable; he was supposed to be the best horseman in India; and excelled in the use of the broad sword. There was an instance of his being attacked when alone by seven Mahratta horsemen, three of whom he killed, and effected his escape from the other four. He was extremely modest on the subject of his own exploits, scarcely ever speaking of them; and when he did speak of any of the scenes he had been in, he was seldom the hero of his own tale. He was strongly attached to his countrymen; the name of American alone was sufficient for him; and many of his countrymen, perfect strangers to him, experienced his liberality in the loans of considerable sums.
The greater part of his property remains in the hands of Alexander M c Clintock and Co. of Calcutta, unwill'd. In the will he did make he has, unfortunately for his relations in this country, made no mention of his real name, nor is it supposed that there exists any possibility of proving that his name was Lillibridge; although it was well understood by those who knew him intimately that that was his real name. It was supposed that his sense of former injury made him thus neglectful of his near relations in America.
Bhubpore is one of the strongest places in India. It is surrounded by a ditch of 40 feet in breadth, many parts of which are not fordible. The Europeans in the army of Lord Lake refused to advance to the third storm, which was consequently attempted by the Sepoys. Lord Lake harangued the soldiers, which, joined with a sense of shame at having been outdone in courage and discipline by the native troops whom they had always considered their inferiors, induced the troops to attempt the fourth storm, which being more obstinate than the preceding, and as obstinately defended, cost the British dearly. The place had not been regularly besieged; there was no breach; and the soldiers after crossing the ditch were obliged to clamber up a wall 30 feet high, defended by plenty of artillery and men, as brave as themselves. Had Lord Lake been opposed by a scientific enemy at that time, there was an end to the British military power in India.

Extract of a letter from a person on board the ship Hamilton, capt Porter, of Boston, dated North-west Coast of America, August 9, 1806.
"We arrived on the coast, after a tedious passage of 193 days, with the loss of the chief mate and carpenter, who died on board. Since we have been on the coast we have lost three men. The boat with 5 hands went on shore at Mill Bank Sound to saw some boards. The five men had no sooner landed, than they were fired on by a party of natives—two of the men were shot dead on the spot—three took to the water, two of whom were saved, the other being wounded perished. The ship was immediately got under way. We killed 6 or 8, and wounded a number of the natives. I have been taken once by them, but was treated well, and released after 24 hours imprisonment."

Extract of a letter from New Orleans, dated April 20, 1807.
"I have never written you a line of politics by the post. The faith of the Government with the citizens has been broken, in the repeated violation of the confidence and privacy of the post office, by that polluted hypocrite, who has been able to sport with all our rights. But I would not use an expression that admits the idea of anger. The wretch in question is not of sufficient dignity to be the object of it. For some weeks indeed he had it in his power to act an insolent farce, in this city and its environs, to the stagnation of business—the dissolution of private confidence, and the destruction of the repose of many a lonely old woman, and perhaps of some others of equal credulity. He obtained at first more notice, than he was in any degree entitled to, for the sole reason, that it was difficult to believe that any man could be so totally destitute of principle, and of self respect as he has since been notoriously seen to be. So long permitted to retain the command of a thousand bayonets, he might have heard us, even yet, with impunity, had he not sunk, at length, into harmlessness, beneath the growing contempt of the community; a condition to him almost as insupportable, as is the demon of poverty itself. His late patriotic ardor, was much too sudden, and furious, and useless, to be entered into by the vulgar feelings of ordinary patriots: And in spite of the "honor of a soldier" and the invocations of heaven, impertinent rumor is whispering in the ears of every body the long buried secret of the Spanish pension. It would be impossible for the most painful chronicles of little things, to enumerate the shameless falsehoods and despicable acts he has resorted to, not only to bolster up his character, but to flee away the reputations of those who have long looked with contempt upon his folly and his baseness. Among the means employed to revenge himself upon the objects of his fear or dislike, is sending and procuring to be sent false and slanderous letters to be published at a distance by editors who are known to be panders of calumny. Several have appeared in the Aurora, dated at New Orleans. Of some of them the internal evidence of the author is irresistible, —"
One of the shifts employed to save himself from sinking is the stale trick of procuring to be sent about for, signature congratulatory addresses. When the various modes of importuning, coaxing, flattering, threatening and deceiving, that were employed to procure the small number of signatures that are affixed to the address of "many wealthy and respectable inhabitants," &c. to gen. W. it will furnish, indeed, a very curious history. It is a little remarkable that some of the French gentlemen were led from sentiments of compassion to affix their names to it as an address of condolence as they were told, for the death of Mrs. W. As to the address of the sea captains who were made to change for the occasion their character of transient persons, and who are such excellent judges of what is due to the laws and constitution of their country—about two thirds of them were afloat on the ocean during the events which where the objects of their favorable criticism."
DECLARATION Of the English ambassador, Mr. Arbuthnot, in the conference at Constantinople, February 25.
"The Sublime Porte which has never ceased to manifest partiality for the French, has more particularly since the arrival of the French ambassador, general Sebastiani, in this capital, changed its principles and system towards its own allies."
"The said ambassador some days after his arrival having given in a note containing certain threats, the Sublime Porte, on the contrary, received the note favorably, and signified to Russia, that the ships of war would not be suffered to pass the canal of the Black sea."
"On the occasion of the establishment of the hospodars of Moldavia and Wallachia, which took place in consequence of preceding circumstances, the Porte ought immediately to have consented, but the delay of that consent which was not given till three weeks afterwards, when the Russian ambassador had formally demanded it, was a proof of the overbearing influence which the French court had acquired. The Russian and English court therefore agreed that the former should send land forces into the Turkish territory, and the latter a fleet to the capital of the Ottoman empire. Should the Porte proceed to renew its alliance with Russia and England, on the ancient footing, and dismiss the said French ambassador from the capital, the war will immediately cease; but if this be not done, breach of the friendship with England will be unavoidable."
"To carry this plan into execution, England will send a well-appointed fleet, beside the squadron now stationed off the island of Tenedos. The Russian fleet will join it in the same seas, in order to pass together the strait of the Dardanelles."
"Should the Porte be inclined to give a negative answer to the present proposal, the ambassador will send back to their country all the English merchants in the Ottoman states, and remain himself here to renew the same proposal, and enter into conferences on the subject, when the said combined maritime force shall have formed a junction in the vicinity of the capital."
From the Medical and Agricultural Register.
Of Clover, and its great importance in Agriculture.
Clover is universally known as being an excellent grass; but how much farmers have it in their power to improve their farms by means of this fertilizing plant, is not generally known.
"The seed of clover was first brought to England from Brabant in Flanders, soon after the conclusion of the horrible civil wars, occasioned by the rival claims of the houses of York and Lancaster; and the circumstance of its being brought originally from Flanders, has given it the name of Flanders grass. The introduction and cultivation of this grass in England, so exceedingly altered and improved the face of the country, in a few years, that it was thought to have indemnified the nation, in point of property, for the ravages and waste of the (then) late wars."
"The white clover makes the best of pasture. It nourishes and fattens animals beyond any other grass. It gives a rich and delicious flavor to mutton, and to the milk of cows, and produces butter and cheese of the highest excellence. The red clover, while it produces the best hay for horses, at the same time, enriches the ground. As it is tap rooted, like the carrot, it draws a portion of its nourishment from a depth below the surface to which the roots of most other plants do not extend; and after the sward is turned over by the plough, and the roots of this clover are dissolved they make a fine manure, and in a measure prepare the ground for wheat, or almost any other crop."
"One of the cheapest and most obvious improvements" observes a writer of the middle states, and to which England is more indebted than to any other, "is the sowing of grass seeds, and particularly clover; and putting in their wheat upon a clover lay instead of an expensive fallow." The practice is as follows: The clover field, having been mowed or fed off, is generally turned up the second year of its having been laid down to grass. The ploughing takes place a little before the time of sowing the wheat. A second ploughing would be of material injury, as is abundantly proved by experiment. About 18 or 20 days from the time of ploughing the weather and other circumstances being favorable, the roots of the clover will have begun to rot. This is the exact time to put in the wheat. The land is previously harrowed in a direction with the furrows, the wheat sown and harrowed in; without so much, if possible, as turning up or moving from its bed a single furrow.
This is what is called sowing or putting in wheat upon a clover lay, and is considered one of the greatest improvements in modern agriculture. Even in the middle states, in pursuance of this practice, together with the use of gypsum, the face of the country, in many places, has been entirely renovated, and what before was a barren field, is now converted to a fruitful soil.
There are many tracts of pine land in these New-England states, which generally are never seeded with grass, and which it is believed might be improved much in the same way, excepting perhaps the substituting of rye for wheat. I have myself seen as fine clover growing on some of the pine lands, as upon any lands whatever, after they had been brought into a proper state of fertilization. In the middle states, I believe about one half of the clover seed intended to be put in, is sowed at the time of sowing the wheat; the other half is reserved and sowed about the time of the going off of the snow in the spring. In this way they are rarely if ever disappointed, and generally take one cutting of grass some time after taking off the wheat.
