aHo ytHaS sVHitS IN the shade. j will now
give you some Of The particulars: ..
A party Of Indians were recently discoyL,
cred by some Of our troops, who succeeded
in capturing three Of their warriors tho
rest of the party, consisting Of three t,peHs
and women, and children, numbering in ali
about twenty, fed. The captives were
brought Ia this placp; where they we're in
inIcrrogaIed by the Colonel. (Col. WORTH
during WHICH il was discovered that two of
them had been concerned in killing and
burning mail ffder sometime in March
last. They were told that for the cruel act
Of theirs. they would be hung 10 fifteen
days, unless witl,iA that fiiile Mo rest Of
their people should come in. They were
then placed in chains. and were permitted
to send out the third man Of ,heir. party,
with talk, to bring in the rest Of tfteif
people, while they were committed to the
guard. The man thus sen, out returned i'd
five days, bringing with him warrior by
the name Of Holate Fixico and some we.
men and children, among whom were the
mother and sister Of one of the prisoners,
whose name is Talof Hadjo. Tho scene
which followed may be dramatised thus:
Colonel to Holaie fixieo:@v Where are
the rest oC the people sent FORT
Holate.-They are separated and cannot
be found You troops have scattered
them, and they have taken differen, paths. =.
Know We no. that unless they arc brought
in, these men (poin,ing to the prisoners)
will be hung "a pause. The Indian dis
consulate, but apparently resigned.) If.
send you out for the people, will you bring
them in lime. 10 SAVE their lives I ;, -;
Holate.-They have gone off, and L.
know no, where to look Tar them. Like
the frightened deer, they have fled at the
presence OF your troops.
Col.-Indian can find Jndian. II they
are not here in ten days, these mep will
surely die. .."
Holate.-The track Of the Indian is COW
cred; his .Palh. is hidden; and cannot be
discovered in ten suns.
Col.-llave you a wife 7 &C., .. 81. .
TaIof.-My wife and child arc with the
people. wish them here that may take
leave of them bsftge die. 81. ~,
C"l.-Do you love your wife and child
Ta!oC-The dog is fond Of his kind
and I love my. own blood. &C., ..
CoI.-Could you find the people that
are out ..... 49,,
Talof.-They are scattered aud may no'

long pause. TaloY Continues throuehou
the scene with his eyes fixed on the hsav
ens-his mother and sister now cast implo-
ring looks towards Holate, who, during the
las, few questions. has struggled to main

The rope was already about his neck, that

dams were then marched ia tho Arm0ry,
where their chains were transferred, and
in fifteen minutes after Talof was on his I,
journey. Yesterday a, messenger arrived
bringing intelligence that Talof Hadjo was
on his wav in with his DeOple and might
be expected lfere tomorrow or next day., a.
There is more truth than poetry in the
foregoing. And what makes it more re-.
marknble, when compared with the story j..
Of Damon and Pyihias, is thaf H. one case
a strong and devoted friendship existed be-
tween the parties, while an the other itfcrS
appears no SUCH feeling, hut tho sacrifice
offered by Hola,e arose from a purely noble =.
and disinierested motive /; a desire. TO save 4.
The life Of enc whom hG considered Of
more consequence than himself. Pythias
placed the utmost fafii, in the promise OF
his friend to return ut the appointed time.
Tho noble Holate had no such assurance
given him. On TIC contrary, he well knew,
it was barely probable tina, Talof would
return with his people in time TO save his
life. Mat. Intel.
