LIFE.

LiFEs
What art thou, Life Pale Vanity
Dim shadow Of the things TO be!
Wsak as the wind, and sightless s the grave
Thy gold but yellow dross, thy famo,
Thy pomp and pride, an idiots game
The rafting of the chains that load the slave.
Thou, and the scenes that round thee rise
What arc yel Loose uncertainties:
Yet still we hug ourselves with rash pressage
Of future days serene and long
Of pleasure fresh, and ripe, and strong
And active youth, and slow-declning pge.
Like fair prospect still we make
The future shapes of beauty take;
First verdant gardens rise, and pansied fields,
Then lofty groves and bowers appear,
Then rils and winding rivers clear,
While change Of landscape still new pleasure
yields.
Farther bold castles we espy,
Where lordly wealth and honors lie;
Beyond gorgeous picture fills the stage,
TIL the remoter distance sbrouds
The plains with hills. the hills with clouds
There we place Death behind old shiyering Age.
When Death alas perhaps too nigh,
In the next hedge does skulking lie,
There plants his engines, there let's fly his dart,
Which while we ramble without fear,
Will meet Us in our full career,
Aud drive the worlds wild follies from our
heart.

An extra from the office of the Savannah
Georgian brings us letter from Garey's Ferry,
dated Marchll3. II contains an account Of the
murder by the Indians OF another brave officer,
Capt. S. Il. Russell Of the ID infantry, and the
death of the gallant Major Noel, from the wound
received by the accidental discharge OF his own
pistol. The letter states that Capt. Russell was
descending The Miami river on the 18th dltimo,
on his way TO Fort Dallas, with part of his
company in open boats-these sayages, in am
bush on the river bank, waited he arrived
within gunshot, when the boats received vol
ley from the Indians, who, being on an emf
nence. fired over them, and no one was iDjur-
ed. Capt. r., Immediately struck for the oppo-
site shore, and on reaching il, leaped out on the
ground, and turning round to address few
words TO his men, was instantly fired at by Sc
veral rifles, three Of which took effect, two in
his body, and one just above the temple, produc-
ing instantaneous death. Lieut., Woodruff,
Capt. RS subaltern, who was some distance
behind, heard the firing, and Fastening to the
succor OF his captain, engaged the Indians for
nearly an hour, when he forced them to retreat
He then collected his boats, and having obtain
ed possession of his captains body, proceeded
10 Fort Dallas. Tlielndians we're pursued, but
as usual, their perfect knowledge of the country
enabled them 10 escape. Capt. Russell was
clad in the uDdress uniform of the infantry, and
il was to this that may probably be attributed
his death, as but one man OF the company be-
sides himself was touched. The loss of the In
dams was not known their number was much
greater than has fought together for a long
while. The remains Of Capt. Russell were in
tered with military honors on the LIST inst.

A GREVIOUS OUTRAGE.

We extract from the Marion Visiter, an nc
count of II grevions outrage receutly perpetrated
in Marion County, Ohio, 10y the reclainants CT

correctly stated, the claimants have been guilty
of most high handed offence. We hope the
offenders, who are in prison, will receive the
punishment which they merit:
\ RIOT. Tuesday morning last presented
scene of confusion and excitement never before
witnessed in our peaceful village. 1t appears that
u negro, well known to our citizens by the name
of Bill, was, sometime since taken up as rnna-
way slave from Virginia, and lodged in The jail OF
this county for trial On Monday, the day set for
his trial, we discovered an unusual number OF
persons assembled to hear the resut-the house
crowded to overlooking. The witnesses
were examined, and counsel heard the Judge
however, reserved his decision Til the ioilo"ihg
morning. 1t being the first day Of the sitting OF
Court of Common Pleas, great mass OF people
was assembled. AT ten clock, A. M. the court
was called to order to hear the decision OF The
Judge, which occupied 40 minutes, during which
the greatest order prevailed; but rs soon as the
Hon. o. Bowen had finished, 10y declaring the
prisoner free all was confusion, riot, and dISor-
der. AS soon as lhe decision was ended, the
pretended owners seized the prisoner-the by
ISLANDERS resisted and cndeavored TO rescue him.

Our citizens and friends from the country stood
out in defence of their ,ramped and insuted
laws, which were thus set ut defiance
In the scene of confusion the negro was taken
down stairs, and dragged by his cnptors through
the streets. Those who forced him onward
were armed with pistols bowie knives and dag

with stones, and whatever missiles they could

assembled demanding justice and the negro but
all of no avail: the entrance guarded with
! pistols and bowie knives. AT this time the
sheriff arrived and begged to be heard, and re-
quested the mob to dispense, but this was also of
no effect AT length the cry for the public arms
was made, the arsenal broken open and the arm
obtained, which presented horrible spectaces

to be of no effect Pistols and bowie knives
were all the law. AT length one of the Associate

distance, when he was overtaken by his ptlrsuer
who threatened with presented pistol 10 shoot
him, if he did not stop. AT this time a number
OF the enraged multitude fell upon the pursuer
and Knocked him down, another who came TO
his assistance, shared the same fate. This con.
fusion continued ill orders were given to arrest
the rioters. During the arrest of the rioters the
negro mnde his escape and has not since been
heard of. In order to give Our readers an idea
ofthe spirit that prevailed, qnoe one of the
threats thrown out Ivy one of the rioters: "by The

We would farther remark that the rioters 1--WE

under the bonds OF 600 dollars each.
In conclusion, we are happy 10 state that no
lives were lost, though several persons were
wounded. We hope that the gentlemen from
