Those happy days are past and gone, r days are knOA-ti no more, When boys wore homespun coats of brown, All buttoned down before. Yes, times have sadly changed—for then They feared hail, rain, nor dirt; But now, they firmly wield a pen, Aud wear a* ruffled shirt. Thou farmers’ sons could hoe and plough; Swing shovels, scythes, and rakes ; Now they can make a genteel bow, With dickeys on their necks. Then they were honest, kind, and fair. Their words they ne’er took back ; In order now to save their hair, They wear silk caps of black. They then their wood packed in the shed, For gloves they would not slop : But now they often lie in bed Till neighbors call them up. They then were shoes of decent size, dvpr cared for left and right; They now wear hoots, and ’O my eyes, 1 Yglib c/v tight They then eonUI help the women churn— iV'cha-cro they'd hold tile light; i N. w from these tasks they sneering turn, Widi hands so nice and tvliite. Yes 1 liuiss have sadly changed sines then ; Those times we now deplore ; When will they once re'urti again. Those happy days of yore ! [Maria. West Needham, July 1843. I’uN'l IA J. BY A. B'jRLI.-.GAME. Men nre more often indebted forfame to the trines in which they act, than to any Ira Ascendant virtues, or peculiar endow ments. Few men carve out their own for tune—few, by their own talents, their own patriotism—by original native lorce attain a distinguished position. Such stand al long intervals on the shores of time. Yet th.-rc have been those, and will be again, who gathering the elements of greatness about them even in times of quiet, suddenly surprise mankind and stamp by their own actions theii impress on the age in which they live, giving them character and impor tance, and force in a Nation’s affairs to run die devious channel of individual fortune. Such individuals whenever they have ap-'. peared have been the idola of their race aud I have no hesitation in placing among this class of persons lhe subject ol this sketch. It is true that he occupies hut a brief space in our annals; it is true he is a memberofthat race on whom for nearly tbieecenturies the singes of oppression and power have beat, yet I challenge the records ofany people to exhibit a more ca pacious mind tor its opportunities—a more high-toned patriotism—a biaverman under misfortunes ; one more faithful in exptdi letiis: more daring in battle; more eloquent hi council, and in defeat more unconquera ble. Hest mils without a successful rival a mdng his own people, and l say lien without disparagement to tire abilities of a Philip, a Red Jacket orthe greju Tecunisvh himself.

Putiliac seemed endowed i with übiquity, lie addressed them in all ! their councils in tones of manly and indig- ! nant eloquence—he appealed to their pas- i sions—to their prejudices—their love of I home—of country and above all to their ‘ superstitions, and when the belt had been ; lullv circulated—when the whole forest ! was lighted with battle-fires, and lie had j aroused a war spirit among all the tribes j stretching a thousand miles along the Lakes, he called a general council of iiis j headmen and warrior- at the River Autre I corces. These he , addressed with great I power, ami when lie had highly inflamed i their minds, he slated that the Great Spirit j had appeared to a Delaware Indian in a j dream and explained the whole design of i the war and plan of operations. That they : must ah-tain from the use ol l\\ejire ira- ■ ler of tho whites, use their own weapons I in battle, and dress in skins prepared by j themselves. “Why,” said the Great Spir-: it to tUo Delaware, “do vou allow these’ dogs in red clothing (the English.) to tn- I ter your country and take the land I gave j you ? Drive them from it, and when you • are in distress 1 will help you.” This was I sufficient; lie was answered with the mad I war whoop of iiis warriors who were pte-j pared lo follow where he should lead. Pontine, had in Ins own mind, “capacious ! of such ‘lungs,” conceived a plan of doat-fa, brief in its details but dreadful in its execu tion, and when all tho elements of destruction wore prepared and the plan properly commu nicated, in (he mot,lit ol May 1783, he gave tho signal of war. Simultaneous attacks were made upon all the ior’.s along tho lakes —upon Pittsburg and Niagara, and upon those on the river Wabash ; so prompt were these attacks and so unexpected, than ten gatrisons were cap-tired, aud their inmaics massacred. Pittsburgh, Niagara, and De- I Iroit, being in a belter slate of de.ern e titan I the ollicts, escaped, but not w.lbout much j severe figuring and treat loss of life.

The In dians got. possession of the fort by a singular stratagem. It was announced that, on the King’s birth day, a game of ball would be played, on a wager between the Sacs and thg Cliippewss. The game was called Da"- ifultirwuy, and it was played with a bat and ball. On the morning of the 3rd of.Tune ! 7 63, the Indians congregated in great force, and al an early hour commenced their game,! while the soldiers and officers stood round to 1 mark its progress ; it proceeded with great | spirit and was well supported by both sides— 1 suddenly the ball was struck, (apparently by accident) into the fort, u hen several hundred Indians rusher, in after it—no sootier wore I they within the pickets, than they comment-- | c-d an indiscriminate massacre— n a short | lime the tragedy was completed, and some j accounts state {.hat one perron culy escaped (Henry the Trader,) others that a few priso- j nors were taken and sold in Montreal. | The imucrta-'ice ol the pod of Detroit, de- j tenninc-d Pontiac to attempts i,s reduction in j p,-rsn.

A coummnicatiou was kept open with Niagara by gun-boats, which lay nn cltoted tin ring tho w hole scige before the town. These Pontiac endeavored many times to destroy by sending down against them burning rafts—but all h;s plans against Detroit, however well formed, seemed to miscarry, hut not from want of skill on his part, or on account of their feeble prosecu tion. On the 29 th of July, a fleotofgun-lioatastiil edupthe Detroit river and landed h reinforce mentof 300 regular troops under the command of Capt.

But Pontiac. wa= too old and too j : good a soldier to be surprized by Indians or j ! white men ; it was not liis cus’om he said to j ! sleep when “ red dogs (the English) barked .” j !

V j Dear Sir ;—Wc have now travelled 409 ; to 450 miles since leaving Burlington, and are in good health and fine sp rits, as also : : are all the company. The company have ; organized by electing Peter Burnett, of 1 Platte City, Mo., Captain. The company ; i nave uLo elected a commilteeof nine, vv io ; i are to be “Cabinet Advisers” for the Cap- : ! tain. They are also to decide all questions i j of difference—disregard to orders —negli- * ! gence of duty, Ac. Although I hud not j reached the camp prior to the election.

Captain Applegate has t I over2tK) head, and Ofjhers over 100 bead. I ! This has bean a bone of contention with t some of the emigrants, and very nearly di- j vided the company. Indeed, lam But cer- j tain but it wilt he the means ofa split! yet, as there are a number without cattle f who refuse to assist in guarding them. ’ The dissatisfaction is not quite so vi lent J now, as the cattle owners have ngreed to furnish the co npany with the beef, (\n case v of scarcity of Builklo meal) work cattiecnd milch-cows, the former at a price to be I::: and by the committee, and the cows and oxen without charge. The company have agreed to this proposition, and the former law, limiting each individual to S head of loose cattle, is thereby repealed. The number of cattle is quite too large. It is impossible to guard them at night, and the Indians at this plnoo have already com menced stealing horse* and killing cattle. The company-'which leaves next spring [VOL. III.—NO 33, for Oregon should keep strict gst.rrd on tht ir cattle and horses at the crossing of this river, as some 8 or 10 horses and mules have’been stolen in one night from our com pany.
