INTERESTING LETTER.
Prairie Du Chien, Oct. 1st, 1S-3G.
Dhar Sir—Since I left you I have
been through a variety of scenes of toils
and hardships, yet of pleasure and sa
tisfaction. The Red Ripe Mountain,
which 1 toll! you was one of the princi
pal objects of my summer’s campaign, I
have seen, and from it I am now wend
ing my way back again, and with good
luck 1 shall be able to reach your beauti-
tul city in a few days after the receipt of
this letter. At that time I can give more
of detail, but at present, in brief, a few
ideas of this strange anomaly m nature,
and die mode in which we approach it.—
1 mean the Pipe Stone Quarry, on the
Coutoau du Prairie—anomalous, inas
much as it is the only locality of this min
eral know of, and located on the summit
of the Couteau du Prairie—one of the
sublimest scenes in nature—at the dis
tance of about one hundred and eighty
miles northwest of the Falls of St. An-
1 houy, which distance is one of almost
entire prairie and richest soil. We com
menced rising the grand swelis of tlie
Couteau—and for the distance of forty
miles we gradually rose, swell above
swell, and terrace above terrace, where
for the whole distance not a trae, nor a
weed was to be seen. A beautiful ffieen
turf covers the whole distance, the grass
of which is not more than three or four
inches in height, and green and soft to
the eyes as velvet. When lifted to its
very extremity, one seems to stand almost
in the clouds, and behold around him the
most extended and magnificient pano
rama of countless hills and mounds, and
plains, that multiply and diminish in dis
tance to infinity. The whole of this vast
landscape is without tree or herbage, save
ihe grass which covers every thing like a
carpet of green velvet.
On the very top of this ridge, which
divides the waters of ^t. Peters from the
Missouri, is situated, (by some freak of
nature which is difficult to understand,)
the quarry of the Red Pipe Stone. There
is something so exceedingly pretty and
picturesque in the appearance of the place
itself, that it cannot be described; which
together with the exquisite beauties of
the stone, and the interesting tales, mys
teries, ami traditions relating to it, will be
neh subjects for the labors both of my
brush and pen, which I may hereafter
use for the instruction and entertainment
of the world. The quantity of stone
that might be procured is almost without
limits, and its exceeding beauty can onlv
be known by the examination of speci
mens which I shall bring with me. That
part which the Indians use (and which
only they will use) is deep red, entirelv
inferior in beauty and richness to those
parts which arc variegated with almost
the colors of the rainbow.
The singular appearance of a precipice,
two miles in length and thirty feet high,
in the middle of this smooth and stoneless
region of green fields, is of itself a strik
ing object to look upon; and when that
perpendicular ledge is contemplated and
viewed as it is, of all colors, and polish
ed by the action of the air upon it, as if a
liquid glazing had been poured over it,
one stands filled with wonder and admi
ration.
The Indians have an idea that this red
stone is a part of their flesh, that they
were created from it, and that it would be
sacrilegious and impious to convert it to
any other use than the pipe, which is used
for peace-making and conciliating the
Great Spirit.
These feelings so wrought upon then),
that when we were passing through a vil
lage of theirs at and near the Traverse
<le Loix, one hundred and fifty miles
from the quarry, they assembled in num
bers around us, and made us prisoners,
lavished their threats upon us in every
possible form—telling us that the Sioux
had altogether in council resolved th.at no
white man should ever go there. They
threatened to kill our horses, or even our
selves, if we undertook to go on. We
persisted, however, in the determination
to go on, even at ihe risk of our lives,
which wc did, (after being detained for
some time) though they sent expresses
ahead of us, and gathered around us,
making us trouble and vexation bv their
threats, and cries, and groans, at everv
village through which we passed. Thev
considered it an invasion rf their reli-
gnus privileges, and conseouenflv were
greatly distressed. We said every thing
we could to convince them that our views
were friendly, and that we went to grati
fy our curiosity, instead of going, as they
said, to see what it was worth. We did
not satisfy them, but we reached ihe place
with much difficulty, and satisfied our
selves for all the trouble and toil of a
summer’s campaign. 1 shall, in some
form or other, give the speeches of these
Goths and Vandals, as they were thrown
m our laces, and also many other of their
traditions and superstitions which will be
curious.
In haste, vou friend,
GEO. CATLIN.
RECOLLECTIONS OF LUNDY’S LANE.
BV A BRITISH OFFICER.
The sun had not yet descended behind
tlie gentle summit of Lundy’s larrn. The
cattle had not yet returned to their even-
pasture, nor the wild bee to its hive in
the lightning-scathed pine tret: but the
green pasture was occupied by armed
warriors, and the faint hum of the insect
creation was drowned in the shrill tones
of the life, and the louder rattle of the
battle-drum. They were the .valiant
troops of iny own sovereign, arrayed in
that enchanting scarlet and white, and
the dear white and blue cross of St.
George flaunted proudly in each silken
banner; and there were gav banners borne
aloft, with tlie emblazoned names of manv
a strong hold in rescued Spain, where
their gallant supporters had hardly earn
ed their crowns of laurel, when they lent
their proud names to adorn the liv ing page
ol history. The noise of the loud Niaga
ra was lost amidst the incessant rattling
of musketry, and the frequent thunders of
a battery of cannon which crowned the
gentle eminence already mentioned; and
the silver}- column of spray was obscured
ii tlie dense sulphurous vapor which the
awakening evening breeze rolled onward
through the western woods. As yet no
living enemy had appeared, and tlie lurv
of the assailants seemed to be wreaked
on an unoffending and defenceless grove
of oaks which lay northward from the
centre of the farm; but ere long more for
midable Iocs came; for (here issued from
hat oaken grove two compact columns of
med men arrayed in dark blue uniforms,
vitli many a gaily striped and star-span-
led banner fluttering in the breeze; and
notwithstanding the murderous and suc
cessive volleys of grape and musketry
poured in amongst them by the British
troops, these new comers, and they were
Americans, boldly rushed forward to the
very centre of their position. Long,
doubtful, and bloody was the struggle!—
1 he sun sank red and fiery through the
smoke of ihe battle-guns; and when the
last faint rays of the evening twilight
mellowed the splendor of tlie golden west,
still the battle raged, and various were
tl.r. <iieeesf.es and hopes of the contend
ing combatants. \ ictory never hovered
more doubtfully over well-fought field;
both armies claimed her, but, in fairness,
lie belonged to neither; it might, with
much propriety, be termed what it really
is—a drawn battle!
It was now the lone hour of midnight,
and the scene had again changed; the pale
moon hung her silvery crescent over the
eastern wilderness, while and anon her
gentle face was veiled behind the fleecy
clouds, which were wafted along by the
freshened night breeze across the blue
alut of heaven, as if it were too painful
sight for her to behold the carnage that
bestrewed the battle-field of Lundy’s
Lane. Tlie loud bellowing of cannon
and the sharper rattling of musketry were
heard no more; Lundy’s farm was no lon
ger the scene of hurried movements, rap
id advance, desperate charges, and quick
retreats, for the contending armies were
nowhere to be seen. The affrighted herds
had never returned to their wonted pas
ture, but both glade and upland were
plentifully tenanted with the wounded,
the dying, and ihe dead. There was also
profusion of broken and useless arms
along the skirts of the forest, and in the
direction of the summit of the open plain,
where a field-piece had been planted, and
which still remained on the ground.—
Some of them were, however, disabled;
some turned, and, as it were, pointing in
the direction of-those who had deserted
them; while others remained shotted, and
ready to pour forth destruction upon
whoever might approach them; but the
lately contending parties were gone. It
seemed as if both parties, equally weary
of the conflict, had simultaneously re
treated, the Americans across the Chip
pewa river, and the British to their en-
ampment on Queenstown Heights. The
night-wind moaned mournfully through
the torn foilage of the forest, and mingled
with its murmurings were heard the
groans and supplications of the wounded
and dying; the roar of the mighty catar
act was heard more distinctly, as if in
mockery of those whose parched lips
would soon be livid in death, hut who
could yet hear its loud rumblings, and
gladly would have given all that, in this
world they ever possessed for one single
draught of its pure but unpitying waters.
Happy were they who heard it not; their
sufferings were over: but many there
were that must welter in their gore, until
after the morning sun should have tinged
the tall pine trees with splendor and beau
ty.
The morning came, and the sun rose
in unclouded giorv, as if to exhibit more
fully the destruction which had been
wrought during the preceding night.—
Lundy’s farm was one scene of desola
tion and death! The ripening crops
which had gladdened the husbandman’s
heart, for they promised a rich harvest,
were entirely swept away. The fences
were all thrown down and levelled with
the ground, and the farm buildings were
j perforated with a thousand bullets. The
farm-honse was again occupied, not with
the affrighted firnilv, for they had not yet
ventured to return, but with the advanced
guard of the British army, come, not to
slaughter, but m save; th?v had retitsnrd
to administer relief to the wounded, and
to dig graves for the fallen brave. Never
is aBiitish soldier’s generositv more con
spicuous than in a hard fought battle; for
it is then that he treats his vanquished foe
as he would an unfortunate f riend, sharing
alike with each those kind offices and at
tentions which situation and circumstan
ces admit of: and that was a dav to tax
his best leetings, for there was no* lack of
objects to claim his sympathy and aid.—
On no part of the field of battle did death
appear to have been measured out so pro
digally as in that portion of the woods on
w ‘*' c h ihe British were, at the first onset,
observed to play; for it was in tlie grove
mat the Americans advanced to the nt-
ta - * ;, and, after repeated charges valor
ous!}- made on the British lines, even to,
and past tbs cannon’s mouth, as repeated
ly fell back on this fated ground, charged,
m turn, by our own troops into the dark
bosom of the forest. Here, at ihe head
of the pursuing party, fell, mortally
wounded, the young and gallant Moor-
soin. Brief, but brilliant was Ids path to
glory; 4lie bloom of youth had but barely
ripened into manhood, when this last ol
his many battles ended with his mortal
career. Near him lay stretched in death
the commandant of a brave brigade of
Americans, who, like a trusty soldier, had
been the last to retreat before the advanc
ing foe. They sleep iu the same grave
which was dug for them at the foot of a
tall acacia tree, which, though wounded
and rent by many a cannon ball on that
fatal night, will survive for yet unnumber
cd years, and annually give forth its fra
grant and grateful blossoms of a tributf
in memory ol the virtues of those who
slumber in peace beneath its silent shade.

to destroy us, in the made of the Black

tor, “i'll place you upon a seive, your
floor shall be a seive; and I’ll make for
you an exact temperature of air in an
apartment below, and attract it upwards
through the seive.” “Then you will give
us all our deaths by colds in the feet.”—
“No, the air shall warm you if you arc
cold, and cool you if you are hot; it shall
come up warm in the winter, and cold in
summer.” “Well, but how will you do

at the idea ol a chimney, and seemed to
think it a great, nuisance. “Oil, but I’ll
ornament it, it shall be a tower, if you
please; and in that tower »r chimney I
win piaco a furnace, which, bv its rarifv-
ing power, will attract the air upward’s,
so that all the a.r which comes from the
lungs of our legislators shall go up the
chimney”—(laughter.) “But wa shall
have draughts.” “No, it shall go to in
sensibly and regularly that no draught
will be created; and the air your neighboi
has breathed, bower much you love him,
shall never be breathed by yourself.”—
\\ ell, the committee recommended this
plan of ventilation to the consideration of
the architect, Mr. Barry, who gave it as
one part of Ins plan that the new- houses
should be ventilated as recommended bv
Dr. Reid.
Us fill Invention forthe Sick of the Army,
—Cap. H. L. Thistle, of New Orleans,
who commanded a company of Louisiana
Volunteers during the last campaign in
Florida, has invented a saddle for the con
veyance of the sick on a march. The Inven
tion has met with great favor among offi
cers ofthe army; and the War Department
to testify its high opinion ofit, has already
orderad fifty saddles to be made for pre
sent purposes. It requires eight or ten men
says the Army and Navy Chronicle, to
cany a wounded man on a litter,
and then the progress is very slow. By
meansofCaptain Thistle’s saddle, ahorse
and a man to lead him are sufficient and
the patient is removed with less pain and
inconvenience.—Poulsons Advertiser.
yore! Operation.—A negro man in Mis
sissippi, had complained of the bilious
cholic for seventeen days, when, finding
the poor fellow must die, a medical gen
tleman, after every thing had been done,
and as a dernier resort, made an incision a-
long the linr-a afija, commencing above the
umbilicus and extending two or three in
ches below it. the bowel* protruded and
presented dint portion involved in the
stricture, which was found to be in the
ileum.
This being grasped, the stricture, after
some effort, gave way. The obtruding parts
were then returned, and the wound secur
ed by a few stitches nnd adhesive strips.—
The negro rapidly recovered and is now
well. The viscera should be carefully
excluded from the atmosphere by a warm
rroist clot'n. Will not this hereafter be
come a frequr nt operation in obstinate cases
of intestinal strictures: since they are ve
ry frequent and often fatal.—Xctc York

THE INDIAN PRISONERS.
It will lie recollected that several of the
hostile Indians were detained by the .au
thorities of this State prisoners to answer
for crimes which were committed by
them during the recent disturbances.-—
The notorious Jim Henry, who was fore
most in deeds of darkness and bloodshed,
with sundry of his associates, were con
fined in the jail of Russell county.—
Judge Shortridge presidii*g,bills of indict
ment, were found against them by the
Grand Jr^y. Jiin Henry, through his
counsel, Messrs. Underwood and Harris,
succeeded in changing the trial of his case
to this county. He is charged with negro
stealing; the punishment, upon conviction,
is death. Sam Brown was charged with
the same dffenco. The jury fouefd him

intended movements of the army ui.uer
Gen. Call, from an officer of runx.
Tlie army which had fallen back for
supplies, on this post, and on Biaek cre< k,
in consequence of the failure to find tl ic
expected depot on the Withlacoochee, is
now in condition to resume active c c< ra
tions against the enemy on that river.

A large wagon train and fresh horses
have been pro. ured within an ;nc< iict-iva-
bly short period, for such an oper t on,
by that gallant and imlelktiga ble officer,
Brevet Lieut. Col. Pierce, <n the United
^Latcs arm}, who in ten davs travelled
Lorn this post to Charleston and back,
having visited in his route, Black creek,
St. Augustine, Sa% annah and Charleston
spent a day at each, and provided all
needful supplies lor the contemplated
movement.
At this post, the regiment of Creek vo
lunteers are all ready to march at a mo
ment’s warning, in the best temper and
.pints. 1 he vacancy in the command ot
that regiment, caused by tiie death of the
lamented Lane, will be ably filled by Col.
1 icrce, lor whom the Indians from former
acquaintance in the Creek nation, have
testified the greatest respect and regard-
Under his command, and associated with
the gallant veterans of tlie armv, whom he
will lead into the field, they will prove a
most efficient corps.
A communication has been opened with
Gen. Lead, who has established a depot
and post on the Withlacoochee, about
twenty miles lroin its mouth, where he
has already rz.LL.fi«d .Lo sup

energy and iudemitable spirit of that va
luable officer could sooner surmount, de
layed for a tew days tins op ;aiiun, by
which untoward event alone, tf.e army
was arrested for a short time, in its career
of success. So soon as tlie horses on
their way from Savannah arid Charleston
reach this post, the army will move in
force, to meet the enemy on his favorite
battle grounds.
II lie dare oppose us there, inevitable
defeats and destruction await him. If
he abandon that position (which he can
scarcely do, encumbered as he is known
to be, by Ins women, children and pro
perty,) he will abandon it forever, for its
recess will be exploded and opened, and
its fastnesses and passes secured !>v per
manent posts. Ari army constituted, as
is ours, of cavalry and footmen ol the
best description, and w ith a large aria ac

overtake and vanquish him at every
point* and by thus securing aii his .ban-
doned positions, at a small ex ot-use of
time, of war and “material/ .oust soon
deprive him of every refuge and force him
to unconditional submission.
Nou may confidently relv upon the
prediction of one not over sanouiue, and
who has been taught moderation bv the
result of former miscalculation in this
war, that a decisive blow \vi . be struck
in a few days.
Jacksonville, (£. F.) Nov. 3.
The fl ar.—W e learn from a source en
titled to great credit, that Gen. Je«up is
appointed to the command of tlie armv
in Florida. There have been so many
contradictory statements hi-, move
ments, that we are unable lo «ay how
much credit is clue to the r- port, that
Gen. Jesup is on his wav from Tampa
Bay to Fort Drane, with six hundred re
gulars. Let who will have tb command,
unless guilty of the most culpable mis
management, the war must 1.. s. - n ter
minated. I lie enemy With vi. n we
have to contend is known. A men os
tentatious display of men will not induce
him to surrender, even ii < ur n. >*t dis
tinguished generals are at their head —
The nature ol the country, which af!< rds
him refuge, is known. The re are troops
enough in tnc country, good troops, to
ferret tnem out, and force them away if
necessary. W e think it incredible that
Oseola should be permitted to continue
hostilities much longer.
Cnl. Pierce has been appointed to suc
ceed Capt. Lane in the command of the
friendly Creeks. With his ♦ nergy, skill,
and promptitude, at the head <>Y such a
regiment, much must be accomplished.
None could do more than Col. Pierce will
do. Provisions, horses, wagons, See. are
coming on, and every preparation is now
making fi.r a vigorous campaign.
One regiment of the Tennessee bri
gade, has moved from Black creek for
Fort Drane, under the command of colo
nel Eraddock. Tlie other regiment will
soon move under the < ornmnnd of colonel
Trowsdale. This brigade under general-
Armstrong, with colonel Pierce’s regiment
f»f Creeks and regulars, will be ready ter
