Lo, how son halcyon shins the sit!
As rapid and as Iras,
Our vessel bends her easy flitlitj
While o'er the waves wo waft good night—

Aid mingles there no fond regret.
With this low breathed farewell—

Upon thy features, mother earth—
On sconces familiar finmour birth,
On mountain, wood and dell!
Beat tliore no hearts in this dearclinie,
Whose feelings an onr own.
That wo shall mast, unchanged by time,
When days and years have flown,
And homeward o'er the flashing deep,
Onr gallant ship again shall sweep
Like yon swift bird alone!
Oh, stay thy wing, thou speeding bird,
And to our native shore '
Bear on thv flight the simple word,

Though sad onr parting bai
And joy, deep joy, lo him who bravos
The dangers of the sea.
Oh, who could live in pesca at boras,
When on the waters he might roam,
As gloriously as we?
Then let ns dash away the tear
That trembles in our eye;

Between the sea and sky,
Tho sails are set—the breeze is fair—
And Itke.yonbird along tint air,
Still shall our vessel fly!

THE LATE CHIPPEWA MASSACRE
The account wa gave last week oflhe Indian
masssaere in the upper country, is confirmed by
the arrival of the Malta from St. Patera. Onr
fellow citizens, Col. Nealfey and Jeremiah Lam-
sou and lady, visited the battle ground a few
days after tho light, and have furnished us with
tho following additional particulars, which in
their detailsdo not essentially vary from what
wat before stated. It appears that three or four
hundred Sioux were encamped near Fort Sneh
Itng, and while then the same number of Chip-
pewas came lo the Foit on business. During
the lime they were thus near each other, it was
proposed that they shonld enlar into a treaty of
pence i one condition of which was that all hos
tilities botween these twu tribes should cease
for.uno year. To show their good will, the
Chippowns mode a feast, nt which they invited
the Sioux; at this feast a number of their favor,
not bo' considered e'veiy palatable dish to the
white mon, is nevertheless looked upon as a
merit of tho higlwsl toped and confidence on
tho port ef the natives oftlie forest, and is done
as otto of their greatest luxuries. After emok<
ing the pipe or peteeand having sallied their
business, tho Chtppewae mado preparations to
leava. The Sioux than aacorted them a few
miles; end. before separating, nine ofthe Chiefs
orthe Chippewa tribe informed a few ofthe
head men ofthe Sioux that they had a few bad
men in their tribe, for whose conduct they could
not ba responsible. They (operated in appar.
ently good faith, aoon after, one of these bad
men, nr pilforere, as they arc called in the Chip,
pewa tribe, fell ill the leer. On the prairehe
discovered a Sioux, who wai hunting with a
boy; tits boy waa by no meana unperceived by
the Chippewa—tits latter than took his aim and
shot down the Sioux, and immediately ran up
nnd scalped hie victim. In the meantime the
boy hid himself in tits graee. and after the Chip,
pewa lied gono ha ran to the Foil and gave the
alarm. Tim Slonx then mastered and pursued
tho main body or the Chin pewas. They aoon
came upon their rear, whtch consisted moitly
ol women and children—the warriors being on
a huntingexcureion, considerably in advance-
end the work of death commenced. Tine waa
near Rum River, about twenty miles from Fort
bnallmg. At this place, they killed about 170
without much resistance. In Ilia meantime they
had lent an expreaa Id Crow’a Village, about
anno milea below Fort Snelling, whore there
were about 70 Sioux warriors, with orders lo
pttrsuo a smaller baud or Chippewas who had
gone towards tho hoed of Lake St. Croix,which
is about 23 miles in length. This perly arrived
at the head of the lake that evening, but per
ceiving two white men amongst the Chippewas
'hey concluded not lo make an attack until
morning, in which they hoped toahew tha white
men that it was not thorn whole blood they cravi
ed. In tlm morning, having ascertained at
■ which end of the camp tha white men were ita.
liottcd, they commenced their attack at the op,
posita Olid, Tho whit* men immediately ran
out of tho range of the slaughtor, and became
pasavo spectator! ofthe fight. Hera the Sioux
met with greater rests lance then wee exparienc,
ed by their other pony at Ruin River,’having
to carry off the ground fifteen or twenty ordietr
warriors Who had boon killed * **
tho affray.
w, ----- .--tiled or wounded in
urn anruy. Tho lots of tho Chippewas at this
place nmounted to about thirty. The Sioux are
now makmg preparations to receive a vi*it from
the Chippowns of a warlike noture. Should
theio tribes come in general collision as combat,
ants, tha conflict will ba dreadful, as they are
both powerful, although the Chippewas, mclud*
mg the Canada tribes, are far more nuumrous
and powerful thou the Sioux.
, The description oflhe appearance ofthe'bet.
tie fie Id,’ eight days alter the slaughter, is as all
such descriptions must be, most revolting to the
sensibilities of humanity. Although the fox
and the crow, and the vulture had all their glut
of human flesh, tho blood, {and the split skulls,
and the carcasses were there to tell the terrific
•lory. Many of (he ornaments, tomahawks,
Ac. of the slain were brought away from the
•cene of carnage by thoae who visited the place.
Animal men and Vegetable Men—A writer in
the Augnsl number of the Knickerbocker, says
that it is a favorite theory of his, that there exists
two different kinds of men. viz: the animal
andI the vegetable. The latter lie represents
as having no more virtue than n cabbage, nor
vice than a thistle. He springs up, withers

That tha Union Party will allow thomselvas

the following *tory, which in Addition to Ids
being a man of credibility, is corroborated hy
tho marks of ligatures nu hi* uruH, and of

Tin* Indians havingeniuplctud their horrid work
retired to carouse and dance, uud ail old >quuw
brought a quantity of wood, placed it round die

Bloodhounds—We learn from Tallahassee,
that His excellency Governor Call, has sent
to Cuba for a supply of Bloodhounds, aa auxilli,
aries in hunting the enemy. Gen. Jeiup hnd
the same object in contemplation in 1837, but
was controlled by a fear of public eentimeut, in
putting into execution a measure which his
judgement prompted as of great value. The
time, we believe, hae forever past, when a truck
ling to a false sympathy will longer delay, or
faifio resort to any and every measure, which
will limit the outrages ofthe Indian. Those
who are at all acquainted with the history oflhe
servile war which threatened the destruction of
the Island of Jamaica are aware that discipline,
bravery, and strategy, pll .were valueless, before
an enemy who had the ocenpnacy of favorable
and almost inaccessible positions, A who never
fought unless uuder circumstances to their own
advantage. It was ns a Ustrsacort—one upon
which hung the very mastery ofthe Island—that
the Governor eent for and obtained a supply of
Bloodhounds from Cuba, with Uaskmtn to give
them the necessary care. The result was
speedy; bend after band loft their hidiug places
in the mountains end, under their leader, deliv
•red up themselves and arms to the Earl of
Balearras, We knew the follow very well in
tho home of his exile, and in his frequent con*
yersniions on the maroon war, assured us that
it was nothing but the bloodhounds which im
duced himself and followera to aurrender.
