Description Of The Cayguas L,diaus---Avicai al
Summit Of Tie Wunmi@-Romantic Eeac-
Arrirai at a Dep Rarinc-AsJM Thunder
Storm at Night.
The Cayguas appear to be powerful
tribe about whom little or nothing has
been written. In their customs and man
ner of living they resemble in every way
the Camanches and Pawnces, leading a
wandering prairie life and not met with cx-
cept on horseback. Their hunting grounds
lie in the vicinity of Red River, and di-
rectly between those Of the two tribes
have just mentioned, and probably never
were visited before by white men unless a
solitary srappcr found his way among
them. A few Of them have rifles, but far
the larger portion are armed only with
lances and bows and arrows.
They must have considered our visit as
hostile, for there is no other way Of ac-
counting for the horrible bui,hering and
scalping of 1t. Hull and his men. Hav-
ing now shed blood it was well known
they would never cease their murderous
propcnsi,ies so long as they could find
parties to attack. We afterwards ascer-
tanned that small party of Mexican ira
ders were among them, bartcring meal,
blankets and trinkets for buffalo and deer
skins, and these very Mexicans might
have induced them to attack us. From
good authority we learned that ten of their
warriors, besides a principal chief were
killed by Lit. Hull and his men before
they were overpowered.
The morning of the 3lst August was
occupied in partially drying our meat over
slow fires, and in making preparations
for our departure. Horses were shod,
bullets moulded, our rifles and pistols
thoroughly overhauled, and nothing ne
elected in the way Of that precaution oul
uncertain adventure demanded. We were
all placed in position where something
OF the kind must be done. The repeated
reverses we had met with, the hunger and
fatigue we had undergone, and the impos'
sibility of proceeding farther with the
Wagons in any direction that would bring
us nearer the settlements, formed a com
hination Of evils for which there were
only two remedies. The first was, &c
burn the Wagons and goods and take the
"back track" for Texas-the other to di
vide the command and send small party
ahead. The interchangeable go-aheadu1

the former plan--the same spirit induce,

&C 7 ne great cause OF Corn Law Repeal III
England is not little indebted for its rapid pro-
gress to the aid lent it by poetry. Beside hume
rous contributions of other gifted minds, the Corn
Law Rhymes of Ebenczer Elliott would alone
give celebrity to this great movement. The fol
lowing is sample.
Corn law Rhyme.
Brain-searcd, heart-blighted, goadcd to despair
Friendless, home all dcsolatc and bare
a wife and five small children starving there,
Hope cherished long in vain.
And what had he to iearl Upon his head
Misery the full walls of her wrath had shed
Those piercing cries. "Gire, taiaer, gire as GreQd"
Rang through his maddencd brain.
What could he do Or, whittier could he fly
lie could have faced death with unhnching eye,
And with unspotted name laid down to die
Wife, children had he none.
But them, of every human tie bereit,
To the stern mercies of the wide world left
lie thought no more, twas but petty theft,
Detected soon as done.
A felon stood he--gone his honest name;
(Was he or an unrghteous htO TO blame y
With broken heart he sunk beneath the shame,
In munhood's p,h and prime.
The fatherless and widow, where went they !
God knows. They rotted starved or pinned away,
A sacrifice (such see we day by day.
To h,os Mot ge,aaer crime.
