A white trader sold quantity of pow

by making him believe it wasa grain
which grew ike wheat by sowing it upon
the ground He was greatly elatse By
the prospect, uet only Of raising ils own
powder, but Of being shle 10 supply 9th

rich. Having prepared bis ground with
the utmost exsctness in the spring. Month
after month passed away, but his powder
did not even sprout, and winter came be.
fore he was satisfied that lie had been de-
ceived lie said nothing; but some time
after, when the trader had forg gotten the
trick, the same Indian succeeded in get
ting credit of him to large amount
The time set for pay yment having expired,
he sought out the Indian at his residence,
and demanded payment for his goods.--
The Indian heard his demand with great
complaisance; then, looking him shrewds
ly in the eye, said "Me pay you when my
powder grow" This was enough. The
guilty white man quickly retraced his
steps, satisfied, we apprehend, to balance
account with the cbagrin he had receiv-
ed.

The Democratic pioneer. [volume] (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1845-1853, 1845-11-14

Wild, wailing winds are sweeping by
With dirge-like, mournful melody;
Dark clouds are hurrying through the sky,
And night is cleaning ftfully.
The stately forest bows in dread,
And scattered leaves sigh on the air;
The wild wood birds have frightened fed,
Or chant low music Of despair.
East rushing down rocky steep
That parts in twain before their might;
A wildering world of waters sweep
Down, down, before the shuddering sight,
With hoarse, roaring, fearful sound,
Their glist'ning waves, covered with foam,
Circle where jutting rocks abounded,
And wrathful seek their unseen home.
A vivid flash of lurid light
Reveals the terror Of the storm;
When there, upon the rocky height
Stands, all unmoved, human form.
Yes! towering there in lofty pride,
With folded arms and streaming hair,
An Indian stands, and DER the tide
His wild deep tones ring on the air.
"Are they all, all forever gone?
All, driv'n from their abiding place'
Am the last-the only one,
OF my once mighty, naughty race!
Aye, howl, We Winds ye waters roar!
And forest trees creak sounds of wo!
WHY should you smile?--' can no more,
For they are gone-yes it is So
Words cannot tell the misery
The white mans heaped on us-our pride;
They've wronged us all--but more like me,
For oh, they stole my love, my bride.
Revenge! revenpel if but this arm
Could do me half this proud heart wills,
1t should not cease its direful harm
Till every white mans blood it spills
He ceased, and as the deep -breathed sound
Was heard in echoed tones no more,
A silence fell on all around
| Il ell NIIlue anu WutCIS CcdScu tHCH EOdis
Then far, far down the precipce
There giowcda a beaming, halo light,
And bright form in the abyss
Cleaned on the wand'ring Indians sight,
And on his ear, comes waiting faint,
The soft tones of the Visions voice,
Manitou hears his warriors plant,
And comes to bid him to rejoice.
He bids him change his notes Of wo,
To those Of happy, joyful song,
For he will ten-fold vengeance throw
Upon the white mans head, e'er long.
Look down, and you will see the place
Manitou has prepared for thee,
And for all of thy mighty race,
That did from dire oppression flee.
So come and sear not, though the way
Darkssme and lonely may appear;
Thy people mourn thy weary stay;
Then haste--thy bride awaits thee here"
The Indian looks-a lovely green,
With groves and streams, and flowers was
there;
And warrior forms were dimly seen,
With maidens blooming bright and fair.
Whilst all apart from the glad throng,
His bride seemed waiting for her brave.
The Indian loaded, nor fingered long
The whirlpool waters is his grave,

SECOND MEETING OF FASHION
AND PEYTONA.-SERIOUS
ACCIDENT: ON THE CAM
DEN RACE COIJRSE.

In another column we give an account
lcopied from the Philadelphia United
States Gazetls) of the race over the Cam
den Course, between The celebrated rival
coursers. Fashion and Peytona, four mile
heats, for purse of $4,000, in which the
former was victorious. II would appear
from the published statements hat Fash
ion was an easy conqueror. This will
doubtless crea,e much surprise among
turfsnen; particularly as there is no men,
ton made of her opponent being out of
condition. The terdunt amateurs Of the
race track will learn, however, that il is
always difficult TO tell :" who will be Gov
ornor. until after the election"
We sec it stated in some Of the papers.
thai another match race was promptly
proposed, for S20,00U side, over the
Canton Course, near Baltimore. and that
il will come off very soon. II this state
ment is currect we shall look quite an-
xinusly for the result. Should The South
ern mare. be in proper "ix," we have
little doubt that she will tell tale that
will "astonish The natives" Of New Jer
sey, and all who hack the now Inrivalled
and beautiful Fashion.
4 most serious accident occurred at the
Camden Course, just al the moment the
busle sounded for the appearance of the
horses on the track, and it is truly wonder
fnl thai The result was moi much more dis
aslrous than it proved to be. The details
will he found attached TO the account Of
The race.
Reports, brought by passengers, arrived
here on Saturday morning, induced The
belief that there had been a sacrifice of
one or TWO hundred lives, and these ru-
mors last nothing in their progress from
mouth to mouth, until il was asserted thai
thousands suffered by the awful catas.
Irnpe. II appears, however, by the
papers. that there were hui rom l2 10
1900 persons in ile stand that fell, and
that ouIy 40 or so were injured, a number
of them, however. quite seriously. We
conversed with gentleman who was
present on the occasion, who n(urms US
that the scene was of the most distressing
character. Al first slight cracking Of
the limhers was heard. which crenled
great alarm, and the dense mass of human,
beings with which the stand was crowded,
made movement towards The stairway
TO escape. This movement caused tim
hers to give way, and for an instant or two
there was a swaying to and fro of the
entire building, when IL came down with
tremendous crash. amid a general
screeching from all who were in and about
The stand, cry Of horror from the sur
rounding mullrnde who were spectators
of the dreadful scene.
Our informant slales that two persons
died from the injuries received, and thai
three others were not expected 10 survive.
The cracking the limbers above, was for
tunalely heard by the mass below engaged
engaged in drinking and gambling, many
of whom were thus enabled TO make their
escape, otherwise the loss Of life must
have been much greater.

the most extraordinary battles which was ever
fought. 1t appears that about six hundred

hundred and fifty cannon balls were fred by

May live to- fight another day.
But in battle who is slain,
Will never live to fight again."
This great battle in California WILDE classed

ilustrious commanders on this occasion, will
rank with Leondus, Napoleon and Yelling

future ages.
