the purpose OF surprising thur pursuers,
while lying in ambush, the Osages came
up, and were fired upon b, the Chero-
kees, after which both parties retired.
In this affair the Osages had one man
killed, and the Cherokees had three CT
four wounded.
The statement made by the Chero-
KEGS does not dli1'cr materially frnTn the
above; they acknowledge having slo-
len the horses, and even admit that they
took greater number than the Usage
charge them with. They also state that
while they were lying iii ambush Ter the
Ossges, their parry fell asleep, when
the Osages came up, and commenced
the assault.
Mr.. p. further remarks, that the
Osages are extremely anxious for an
amicahle adjustment Of their differences
with The Cherokees, and thai they would
rather submit to considerable sacrifices
90 their part, than be involved IN ano-
Their war with that nation. We also
learn from Mr.. p. tina, the report re-
ceatly contained in the papers, of the
Osages having robbed trading party
from Missouri Of about IS hurses, and
eff tteir also having killed four men
belonging to another trading party from
Missouri, is without foundation. These
.ou,rages are ascer'ained to have been
committed by the Pawnees. He as
sures us that the Ossgcs are extremely
anxious TO maintain good understanding

THE GRAVE YARD

know not any thing more calculated ia iui-
press the mind with gloomy sensations, than a
visit to the spot dedicated to the reception Of
the mortal remains ofthcse who die in this yii-
lsge.
To the contempatve mind, a grave yard
always affords matter for most interesting re.
Election. The forms that lie under the enid
clay, were once inhabited by active intelligent
spirts-now, insens,bie as the clay that covers
them. Perhaps a once loved friend is among
the number: One Of whom we could say, 1--WE
look sweet counsel together, and walked 10

broken. The grave separates what VIC loved.
from cur sight. al VIC can do, is to nlourn

tomb-stones, with their inscriptions, aHpnl
pleasing, though solemn subjects Of contcm-
plation. There we can read the names and
character Of those who are inferred, and moral
ze on their virtues, their courage, their youth
or their age. One who has lost dear iriead
or relative, may visit the spot where the
friendly inscription shews him, that the form
he seeks is deposited; and it affords secret
consolation to his sorowing heart, If he find /.
decent grass-worn mound covering the relics.
But in our place Of burial, the mind OF the cs,.-
tcmplatiye finds no relief from variety he
bereit friend, no consolation from the decen-
ces Of an unbroken grave. No barrier occs,rs
to prevent the unconscious brute from tramp
ling down the fresh raised mould. The graves
lie scattered amidst the sanbbery in rude ire
gularity. rendesng it almost impossible for
surviving friend TO find the spot where he may
weep over the remains OF what he loved. All,
save few insulated graves, lie in wild cosfI-
sion, and torn down BY the feet Of cattle.

aspect favorable to the former. The
