BLACK HAWK-TECUMSEH.

IftsSrs. Editors:-Hearins Of the death
Of tho celebrated Sank Chieflain BLACK
HAWK, am induced to make you the fol,
lowing communication, which may be in

on me. His lodge was always open to
the stranger, and he was ever ready to
share that with him which he might most
want. either his (urs and blankets for a
couch, or his corn and venson for re-
past He always spoke in terms Of high
regard of the whites, saying that IN war
he iounht like a brave man, but in peace
he wished to forget that his hand had ever
been raised against them. His career as
awarrior commenced at very early age;
when he was but fourteen years old, his
father, Pawheese, led a war party against
the Osages, in which expedition he accom-
panied him; they succeeded in reaching
the village Of the Osages, which they at
tackled, and after very severe encounter,
they routed their enemies, and burnt their
town. In this battle Black Hawks father
was killed, but he revenged his death by
killing and scalping the Usage who had
slain him. lie was fond Of recountlng
his early exploits, and often boosted OF his
being at the right hand of Tecumseh
when the latter was killed at the battle o.
the Thames. His account of the death Of
this distinguished warrior was related tt

ELEMENTS OF "rnE PARTY,

The following remarks Of the New York
correspondent Of the National Intelligent
Ger, are so pertinent to the case that we
lay them before our readers:
Among the vice presidents at the great
meeting in Tammany Hall} the other night,
were Mr.. Henry Yates, a director Of the
Morris Canal Bank, Walter Crowne, Esq,
a man deeply interested in the whole bank
Ing system, and ID. Z. Comstock, Esq,
president Of the Dry Dock Bank. This
meeting put forth very oco(oco address,
cutting up the banks by the roots. MON
ton these facts to show you the pros. ress
of humbug in New York. These tsentle-
men keep it'with the locofocos to rnakeus
ofthem. lnfict sub-treasury upon them,
aud they would be off in tang emit, Every
thing shows that Mr.. Van buren, has sal.
isfed the wealthy part Of his party in the
North that they have nothing to apprehend
from the Sub.treasury. TheS c. gentle
men will find, that in being hrmbagged,
they have been put to an equality with
''the rabble rout'' OF the Park. AS this is
the second time they have been thus hum
plugged, it is t.eir fault. They will find
what | row say to be true in the end.
New York hunabugS, but is never humbug-

Dyes! take the papers
Their trfling cost is never missed,
Although I've stood Cor forty years
Upon the printers list.
Talk not of warriors-Faust released
Earth from the terrors of her kings
Hetwrled his STICK, and darkness ceased,
And morning streamed along the East,
On freedoms Furnished wings.
O yes take the papers,
And sons and daughters, tall and small,
For they have been, through thick and thin,
The pastmc of us all.
Twas nobly said, that should star
Be stricken from the dome Of night,
A printing press, if stationed there
Would fill the vacuum to hair,
And shed broader light.
That man who takes no papers,
Or taking, pays not when they're read,
Would sell his corn to buy "hOrn,"
And live on borrowed bread.

And yet his labors and his pains

| WHEN AND Whom 1T is SAFE TO MARRY
The following article contains much sound prac-
teal good sense.
/. Young ladies ought not to marry at Is or
l6 or II, they are too young know nothing A..
bout housekeeping and providing for family,
&c.
2. They ought not to marry until they have
got the consent of their mind to give up tight
lacing because the marriage state should be
free from bondage, and compression and OPP
preston, &c.
3. young lady should not marry until she
has got the consent of her mind to obey her hus-
band because if she cannot and will not obey
her husband, she does not love him ; obedience
is the strongest evidence of love. These are
some of the times when young ladies ought not
to marry. Now l say,
l. They ought not to marry a young man,
who, when he comes to address them can stay u
week or two such an one will be likely to love
the fire and the house too well will not go to
the barn and the new ground, and the cornfeld
&c. often enough.
Z. Never marry man without some occu-
patton by which he can support family. Hewill
be apt to need the proceeds of such occupation,
when the trade must be learned. Say, if yon
marry him, he must be DOCTOR not quack
lawyer, not pettifogger a merchant on his own
capital, not borrowed one a shoemaker, not
cobber have the thing itself farmer or me-
chanic of so ne order, if he be basket maker !;
have the "profitabe occupation" in the bargain;
don't marry without it.
g. Never marry young man who wears
tlne cloths and swears profanely because if he
will not treat his Makers laws with reverence,
ne is very unapt to treat you kindly and with re-
spect-moreover he who swears will lie and of
all characters liar is be detested and avoided
and not chosen as a companion.
a. A young lady should not marry young
man who is in the habit of gambling, because
he will ten to one, spend every cent of his and
his wifes estate and bring her at last to beggary.
Reformed gamblers are not safe-I would adj
wise no young lady to marry one at least under
ten years reformation.
5. A young lady will be very unsafe in mar
rying young man who uses ardent Spirits eth
er temporarily or intemperately -because more
women have been rendered wretched on &C
count of drunken husbands than any one thing
else. Don't marry reformed drunkard, as a
man hardly gets clear of this awful disease.
lfyou want to be miserable--if you want bah
blings-if you want wounds without cause-a
husband with red eyes, &C. marry man who
drinks, takes little, and you are more likely
to have the above enjoymcnts than in marrying
any other character. If man can't give up his
dram, he can sacrafce the happiness or proper

DEATH OF TECUMsEH.-A writer in the Bal
timore American gives the following account Of
the death of Tecumseh, which he says he recei
we'd from the mouth of Black Hawk:
Tecumseh Shouting and Caldwell, two
Potawaamie Chiefs, and myself, were seated on
a log near our camp fire, filling our pipes for a
smoke on the ming of the battle when word
came from the British General that he wished
to speak to Tecumseh. He went Immediately,
and after staying some time rejoined us, taking
his seat without saying word, when Caldwell
who was one ofhis favorites, observed to him

the Americans? eyes, my son." replied TIE
cumseh, zoe shall go into their very sn,oke-But
you are wanted by the General. Go my son,
never expect to see you again." Shortly after
this Continued Black Hawk, the Indian spies
came in, and gave word of the near approach OF
the Americans. Tecumseh Immediately posted
his men in the edge of a swamp which flanked
the British line, placing himself at their head.
| was "a little to the right with small party OF
Sauks. 1t was long before the Americans made
theirappearance, they did not perceive at first,
hid MS we were by the underground, but we soon
let them know where we Were by pouring in one
or two volleys as they were forming into line to
oppose the British. They faltered little, but
soon we perceived large body of horse, (Col.
Johnson's regiment of mounted Kentuckians)
preparing to charge upon lis in the swamp.

till they were close that could see the flints
of their guns, when Tecumseh; springing to his
feet, gave the Shawnee war cry, and discharged
his rifle. This was the signal for us TO com
mence the fight, but it did not last long; the A
mericans answered the shout, returned our fire,
and at the first discharge of their guns
Tecumseh stagger forward over a fallen tree
near which he was standing, lettingihis rifle drop
at his feet. AS soon as the Indians discovered
he was killed. sudden fear came over them,
and thinking the Great Spirit was angry, they
fought no longer ana WERE quickly put to flight.
That night we returned to bury our dead, and
search for the body of Tecumseh. He was found
lying where he had first fallen; bullet had
struck him over the hip, and slskull.. had been
broken by the butt end of the gun of some sold
Ter, who had found him perhaps when life was
not yet quite gone. With the exception of these
wounds his body was untouched; lying near him
however was a fine large looking Potawattamie
who had been killed, decked off in his plumes
and war paint, whom the Americans had no
doubt taken for Tecumsch, for he was alped,
and eve cry particle Of skin fayed from his body.
Tecumseh himself had no ornament about his
person, save British medal. During the night
We buried our dead, and brought off the body
