By tiiis tirua the rest of the ap
peared on the brow of the mountain'. Soil
they rushed down tiic rugged puth like
Heads at their sport, leapmg from era? to
crap, as reckless of ganger as though they
liad been immortal. .\s they threw their
reeking bodies into the water, the fhgi
tive M'ae about ascending the I.ank on the
opposite side. Tangoras was close be
hind bill), for ho had gained considera
bly upon him in the passage of*the river.
The race was now rtftumcd. The fugi
tive darted oIT witii renewed vigour, and
the old chief followed at a steady pace
across the verdant plain through which
the river pursues its way.
“Tlie Indian once more outstripped his
pursuer; hut as they entered upon the
high lauds, his «peed diminished- The
old chief perceived it, and as lie kept on
Jiis even course, sent forth the war whoop
as if in derision. The race continued o
ver ridges and plains & through streams,
until they arrived at the foot of the next
-spur of the mountain. As they entered
upon the steep ascent, the pursued strain
ed every nerve to keep up his speed,
while Tangoras followed with ns much
ease in his motions, as if it had la in but
a race of amusement. .
“The fugitive now deviated from the
narrow path, and entered upon the most
dangerous and rugged ground, in hopes
that his pursuer through fatigue would
desist from the chase; but the hope was
vain, for lie still followed with the same
fixedness of purpose as at the outset.
They soon found themselves in the depth
of the wilderness. Higher and higher
they clambered up in silence, assisting
their ascent by clinging to stunted shrubs
and the jutting pieces of rock. The oth
er savages followed at a distance, yelling
like fiends, and were guided by the e
ehoes occasioned by the fragments of.
rocks, which yielding to the tread, rolled
down the side of the mountain. The
young Indian had been hunted to despe
ration, when an ascent almost inaccessi
ble presented itself. He braced every
nerve, and leaping up, seized hold of the
’branch of a tree that grew from the de
clivity. Fortunately it sustained his
weight, and lie drew himself beyond the
obstruction. He sprang from the tree to
a jutting rock, which yielded beneath the
pressure, and as lie felt it moving, lie
throw himself forward flat upon the earth
as the only means of preservation. The
stone rolled from under him down the
mountain, and a fearful yell was mingled
witii the crashing that it made in its pass
age. He turned and beheld Tangoras
prostrute on the ground. A second look
disclosed that lie was bleeding. A laugh
ol joy anil derision burst from the lips of
the fugitive, who was still stretched upon
tlie earth, hut his triumph was of short
duration. Tangoras soon sprung upon
his feet again; his rage augmented by tlie
smarting of his wounds, and leaping up
w ith the elasticity of the panther, he rea
dily achieved the ascent which had near
ly exhausted the remaining strength of
his victim, who slowly arose and again
exerted himself to escape his determined
pursuer.
“They had now almost reached the
summit of the mountain. Taugoras
pressed closely upon the young Indian,
who with difficulty dragged along his
wounded & exhausted frame. At length
he attained the highest point, and as he
cast a look down the western declivity he
started back; for it was too precipitous for
mortal to descend and live. His deadly
foe was within a few paces, and a savage
smile of triumph was on his countenance.
The fugitive was unarmed, and hope for
sook him when he beheld the other draw
his hunting knife as he lcisurelv aseend
cd, confident that his victim could not now
escape. The young man stood erect,
and facing his foe, tore off the slight cov
ering from his liroad bosom, which heav
ed as he drew his shortened breath,
J hey were now face to face on the same
rock a pause ensued—their eves glared
upon each other—Tangoras raised his
arm. ‘Strike!’ cried the fugitive, and
tlie next moment was heard the sound of
his collosjul body as it fell from rock to
rock down the deep chasm, startling the
birds of prey trofu their eyries. Tango
ras stood alone on the rock, and the rays
ot the setting sun shone full upon him.
i he affrighted birds were screaming and
flying in a circle over the spot where the
body had fallen. When the rest of the
savages had ascended the mountain, the
old chief was still standing on the same

his mind absorbed by his feelings. They
asked for the fugitive; he made no reply,
but held up the blood-stained weapon,
smiled, and pointed down the abyss.
I'lie friend's ot the deceased silently with
drew to search for the body, while Tan
goras and his people returned to their vil
lage.”
“And what cause had he for the perpe
tration of so merciless a deed?”
“ f l ,e young Indian had a short time
before assassinated his only son; and as
his tribe refused to deliver up the murder
er to punishment, the father in conformi
ty to their custom took justice into his
own hands, not dreaming that the whites
would pronounce that a capital offence,
which both the laws of the red men and
their religious creed imperatively called
upon him to perforin. He was, however,
a|►prelim ! ••!, tried and convicted of mur
der. lie did not speak during his trial,
hut looked in scorn upon our jfratje de
liberations; and sat in the prisoners’ bar
with the dignity of u hero rather than the
compunctious bearing of a criminal. He
heard tlie sentence of death pronounced
upon him without moving a muscle; ifnd
as lie was led forth from the court-house
to the prison, lie moved on with u firm step
ami haughty demeanour, which showed
that though lie had been condemned by
■ other#, be was not self-con derailed. The 1
; miserable remnant of his tribe hud ds
! semb!*£4o-nwait-lJie issue of his trial.
|TI icy fell back as lie appeared, and he
moved through them in silence, without
bestowing-even a look Upon them, and
they followed him to prison, gazing at
j him in stupid wonder.”
I . “Did thgy witness his incarceration
' without an attempt to set htni free?”
“Certainly; what else could you ex
pect from those who have taken no more
| than the first step imr.irds civd'.zatioii?
There is no condition in. lit so abject as
| theirs. They view the laws of society as
■ being at constant variance w ith natural
! privilege- and while they dread and groan
| beneath the former, they have not the har
i <hhood to assert tiic latter. They look
upon the restrictions as intended for their
! abasement, and not to elevate them to an
equality; and while you strive to teach
i them the superiority of their nature, you
only convince them that they were horn
| free, and that the social compact has
made them slaves.”
“ And what was the fate of old Tango
rasl”
“ That will lie decided to-morrow.
Look nut of the window towards the pris
on, and you may sec the gallows tree pre
pared for ids execution.”
I did so, and beheld that the limb of a
stout oak tree near the prison had been
trimmed for the purpose: a ladder was
reared against it, and three Indians were
lounging beneath it. At this moment two
Indian women passed the window; their
countenances denoted deep affliction, and
| their heads were bent downwards.”
“Those women,” continued iny infor
j mant, “are the wives of Tangoras. They
i have been remarkably attentive to him du
ring his imprisonment, and are now go
j ing, doubtless, to take their final leave of
| him.”
\V e could distinctly see vvliat was pass
ing from the tavern window . They ap
proached the prison, knocked at tlie door
and the jailor permitted them to enter.
I expressed a desire to see the unfortu
nate old chief; and my communicative
friend, who by the way was the village
schotilmaster, promised to gain me ad
mittance to liis ceil on the following mor
ning, as it was then near the hour of do
sing the doors for the night. In a few
minutes tlie Indian women again appear
ed. They looked towards tlie gallows
tree, and spoke to each other. As they
passed beneath flic window of the inn, "l
perceived that their countenances were
much more placid than they were before
they entered the prison.”
The stillness of the evening was now
broken by the sound of a distant drum,
which gradually became more distinct.
In an iustant the whole of the villagers
were in the street gazing anxiously in the
direction whence the sound proceeded;
and even the sluggish savage felt sufficient
interest, to arise from his reenmbent pos
ture. While expectation was on tip-toe,
a corps of military appeared winding a
round the base of the mountain that ter
minated the prospect on the eastern side
of the village. A troop of ragged ur
chins ran delighted to meet them. The
soldiers had been sent for to a neighbour
ing tow n, to intimidate the savages from
interfering with the execution of the
laws.
I arose at day-lirenk the following mor
ning, and on descending to the bar-room,
found the schoolmaster already there,
waiting to conduct me to the prison. It
was a delightful morning in spring. As
we walked forth, tlie birds were singing
joyously, the green grass sparkled with
dew, the morning air was refreshing, and
laden with fragrance from the foliage of
the surrounding forest. A number of
Indians were standing beneath the gal
lows tree, with their faces towards the
cast; their heads were bent in sorrow, and
they preserved unbroken silence as vve
passed by them. The wives of Tango
ras were among the number. The sun
had not yet appeared above the eastern
horizon as we entered the prison.
We w ere conducted by the jailor to the
apartment in which the old chief was
confined. We found him standing in the
center of the cell, with his eves raised to
a small grated window through which tlie
grey light of the morning was stealing*.
His mind was too deeply engaged with
its own reflections to notice us as wc en
tered. The jailor accosted him, but he
made no reply, and still kept his eyesfix
“d on the «nw object. I'lio Hclinnlm<u>
ter also spoke to him, but still he appear
ed unconscious of his presence. A soli
tary sunbeam now stole through the gra
ting, which falling on the face of the old
Indian, relaxed its austerity. Still lie
moved not. My companions looked at
hull and then upon each other in aston
ishment, which was increased by the low
sound of a number of voices joined in
song. The music was varied by occa
sional bursts of passion find passages of
deep pathos. Tangoras joined tin* strain
in a low guttural tone,* scarcely audible;
\ h«* closed his eyes as lie sang, and listened
to the v oices apparently witii deep iutcr
«*■ . . »
“ What is the meaning of all this?” I
enquired.
"it is the Indian death song,” replied
the schoolmaster; “and they relate in their
rude strains the most daring exploits of
their favourite chief.”
Tangoras stood motionless tor about a
quarter of an hour, during which the song
continued. His eyes remained closed, iV
his countenance underwent various chan
-es. Ihe expression indicated pain, and
I finally it IxiC-ime so completely distorted
: as to prove that he was labouring under
intense torture, though he still continued I
ito mutter the death song*. It was now '
with the utiuojjt difficulty that la
cd himself: he staggered, his knees bet*
underlain, and the sirs* mom “tit he foil
to the floor, and shouted he war whoop
as lie fell. They heard tin* signal f>*oni
without, and immediately *1 r d< jib ,o*.g
was changed to a wild burst of exultation.
\\ e approached to supper 'ln* < M • ■fit, *'.
who was struggling in lb* a.;' cv.s iif death,
hut he waxed his baud ami forliaik us io
! toticii him. We inquired into the cause
! of his sudden illness, and in rep! < and with
a smile of triumph,‘that nature impelled
\ him to die as a man, v. hilc rite Christians
would have taught him to die os a dog.’
“ The old Horn an virtue—consistent
to tlie last !” exclaimed tlie schoolmas
ter,
Tlie dying Indian writhed oil the floor,
and suddenly turning on his hack, threw
out hisgigadtic limbs, and lav stretched at
full length. His nroad chest heave.T, his
teeth were clenched, Ins hands closed, his
eves turned upwards, and a slight quiver
ing ran through his whole frame. The
song of exultation still continued w ithout.
There was now a gentle knock at the out
er door, and the joilor left us to attend to
it. In a few minutes he returned, accom
panied by tlie wives of Tangoras. They
looked upon him as belay upon the floor,
and then exchanged glances witii each
other. The struggle was over; the body
was now motionless. They bent down
beside it, covered their faces, and having
remained in this posture a few moment;,
arose and left tlie prison in silence. The
song of exultation ceased as the jailer
closed the door after them. As I return
ed to the Inn, I expressed astonishment
at the cause of his sudden death.
“ The cause is plain enough,” replied
tha schoolmaster. “The women who
visited him last evening, left a dose of
poison with him. It is evident that the
plan was preconcerted.”
About an hour afterwards, vve beheld
the dejected Indians slowly ascending the
mountain, bearing the remains of the old
chief to a spot where they might repose
without longer being trampled on by the
justice of the pale faces.”

- illtlM THE CATAWBA JOIT(k*AL
Mr . C.l LUOU.y d.YL) jY CLI.IF/C.l TIO.Y.
The charge has been repeatedly made
against Mr. Calhoun, that he was a mtl
litier: and although his friends have de
nied it, yet no denial has ever come from,
or been authorized by him ; for the rea
son perhaps, that he thought it vv ould
be derogatory to his character to notice
anonymous charges in the newspapers.—
But the accusation has now assumed a
shape w hich will no longer permit him to
he silent, if it he in Ins power to prove
his inoccncc. In the Globe of the lith
ult. is an article justifying the President’s
refusal to appoint Mr. Finlay U. S. At
torney for South-Carolina ; and the mo
tives which actuated tlie President, are
certaiualy honourable to him. “He had
been informed,” says the Glohe, “that
Mr. Calhoun had avowed the doctrine;
that the Tariff Laws might be annulled
through the juries of South-Carolina, and
he was therefore unwilling to appoint an
Attorney for the United States, to en
force the collection of the Revenue, who
concurred in opinion with Mr. Calhoun
oil this subject, and who might, holding
the laws to be uuconstitutioal, refer them
to the juries, with the concession they
were not valid. We made'this statement,*
continues the Globe, “while Mr. Calhoun
was in this city, if he denied it, or the
Telegraph for him that we could establish
the fart by the most incontnstible evidence.'’
But Mr. Calhoun left the city without
making a denial, or authorizing the Tel
egraph, or any one else, to make it “for
him,” We now come to the charges,
which, .as vve have said above, have as
sumed that shape which will no longer
permit Mr. Calhoun to remain silent.—
They arc as follows Sc concludes the ar
ticle from which we have made tae prece
ding extract:
“We shall act in a plain arid direct
way in regard to this matter. We will
leave nothing equivocal, as to 1 lie course
which vve have pursued or which vve feel
bound to observ e in relation to this mat
ter.
In defence of the President’s conduct
with regard to the South-Carolina ap
pointment, vve assigned the reason upon
which he acted. This involved the course
“-lonmipriilrd hv Mr. Cnlhoun to <lolV>t»t
the revenue Laws of the United States,
and as a consequence, a charge against
him of having proposed to nullify these
laws. We pledge ourselves to establish
it by ‘incontestable proof,’ if denied-by
Mr. Calhoun, or by the Telegraph for
him.' We were apprized that no gen
tleman would volunteer evidence in a ease
of this sort, unless it Were called for bv a
Hernial from Mr. Calhoun himself, or by a
person authorized to. do it ‘for him.’
‘Andwe now have to say to the EditorVif
the Telegraph, that vve are not at liberty
to use the proof in our possession, unless
a denial he made by Mr. Calhoun him
self, or hv one authorized to do it in his
name. Whenever this is done, we pledge
ourselves to prove that Jfr. ('. did direct
ly and vclieniinently urge' the principle of
Xulfficatinn , in a conversation with sev

operation of the Tariff law.
‘flflmt oil another, occasion he. insisted
that any.one State might successfully re
sist the operation of the Tariff law, if at
tempted ti b‘e enforced by suit.
“ Txat he proposed as a mode of effec
tuating this successfully, that inert hunts

NV e repent that vve shall not hold our
selves under obligation to give the oroof
of these statements unless they are denied
by Mr. Calhoun himself, in a letter ad

We will not hesitate to give Mr. Calhoun
the names of the persons upon whose in

to clear himself of all taint of the disor
ganizing, anarchial doctrine of nullifica
tion. He must not deal in grnrrali’cs,
hut his defence must he explicit, without
any reserve or eqivocation, or the people,
to whom he has appealed, will not sustain
him. No matter how lightly the nnl/iji
ers may esteem the Union— the people are
devotedly attached to it: they know U is
the rock of her safety, ensuring them
peace and prosperity at home, and giving
them a proud and enviable station in the
great family of Nations; and they will
give their confidence to no man, what
ever may he liis tojnntg or understanding,
who eiidungers it bv the inculcation of
doctrines, which strikes at once at its very
foundations.
We are no pnrtizan of Mr. Calhoun’s
—vve do not look to him to restore tljc
government to its purity and save the Re
public : hut wc dislike to see him put down
hv the arts and intreagues of the .Secre
tary of State. We trust he will he able
to triumph over his enemies ; hut first and
foremost., vve repeat it again, he must
| clear himself of nullification. No public
man lie his character and talents what
they may, can bear up under that.

VERY INTERESTING AND IMPOR
TANT FROM EUROPE.
The packet ship Canada, Captain Ma
cy, arrived at this port last evening, hav
ing sailed from Liverpool on the llUh ul
timo. The Editors of Commercial Ad
vertiser have received by this arrival,
their full supply of foreign journals, inclu
ding London of the lotli, and Liverpool
of the 10th.
It will lie seen by the very copious ex
j trets we have given, that although the
I probabilities of a general war have les-
I setied, yet the alfuirs of the North of Eu
j rope present a most interesting aspect,
j The Poles, in a very brilliant action,
j gained a signal advantage over General
S Geismar’s division of the Russian army,
| on the 31st of march, of which fact the
! Polish official account will he found a
inoug our extracts. There are also re
ports of another victory, still more brill
iant, said to have been obtained on the
day following—April Ist—the result of
which was the total destruction of Geis
tuer’s corps, and the captivity of himself.
But there is some doubt upon this subject
as will be seen by the following remark of
the Times ofthe loth—“\Vc hope the in
telligence will soon be confirmed, though,
as it is again Geismar’s corps on which
the attack is stated to have been made, it
may be apprehended that the report i- on
ly a different version of the news wc have
: already given. However, if, us some of
! die Paris journals say, the account was
| transmitted by the telegraph from JStras
burg, there would be less reason to ipt»>-
tion its accuracy'.”
These events, together with the re
newed reports of insurrections in Litlian
ia and Volliiynia,—the reported disaffec
tion of Finland, and the discontent be
haved to exist in Russia itself, have impar
ted high hopes that the valiant Poles may
yet he succesfiil, fearful as are the odds
against which they are contending. In
the battle of March 31st, the Poles seem
to have fought like tigers. Nothing could
exceed the celerity of their movements, or
stand before the impetuosity of their on
sets.
In addition to the facts and reports al
ready mentioned, there are other rumors I
which may as well lie noted, although less J
prohnhdity is attached to them. ‘ Tin se !
are, thtjt even from Turkey collateral aid
is expected, as hv this time the new En-!
voy from the Polish Government to the
Sublime Porte, is far on his way to Con- ■
stantinople; and it is belayed that the war
like preparation of the Sujtan, ostensi- i
hly id Crush revolt in some of hit Pachu
liks, are, in reality, with the intuition of
making war on Russia. A second is
that Charles John of Sweden is determined
to endeavor to re-take Finland. W« and.»
not attach any credit to these rumors, nor
much importance to the story of insum y
tiouary movement in the remote eastern
dominions of Russia. Meantime, if the
account of an insurrection in Serna be
Correct, the Sultan will have his bards
full with his own affairs.
There was another report on the Isre
don Exeluihge on the evening of the 1 Itli
stdl more improbable, viz: That the vic
tor of the Balkiu had fallen into tlie
hands of the Foies. On all hands, bower
the opinion was gaining ground that tire
Russian empire was in no very enviable
condition and many suppose that a f.w
monthft will bring forth events with r« -
garil to tliif barbaric power,’ which will
both astonish mid delight the civilized
world.
Paliauicnt met pursuant to adjournment
on the Utli. The first subject, called up ia
the I louse of Common* on that day was
the Reform Bill, on tin* presentation Q f
petitions against it from Manchester Sal
ford, and Liverpool. The insufficiency
of the returns of the population of differ
ent boroughs, which hud Ixen urged lu
tore tlie Latter recess, was again brought
up. Lord J. Russell stat v| that every
precaution hail beccn Used to gu«*:rd a
gainst improper returns; hut that any me
morial complaining of inaccuracy would
meet, with rcspcoWul attention. The
Ministers were determined to preserve
tlie principles ol the hill, although they
hud made alterations in particular part.-*,
which would he laid before the House on
the following Monday, (the 18ih.)lu re
ply to some remarks from Sir E. Sugden
and (ien. Gascoyne, on the increased
minuter ol represetations from Ireland,
w hile those from England were decreased
la* said that Ministers had not dinged
their minds ustothe number, should
appear to he the sense of the House that
the whole nuniherof 658 members should
he retained, the government would not
feel they Were altering a vital or essential
part of the measure by agreeing to that
proposition. (Hear hear.) With res
pect to the number of representatives for
England, Ireland, ainhScotlarid, he* do
med that the question was finally fixed at
the period of the union.
?•!.'. C Connell supported the provision
ol the bill. Mr. Hunt, much as it would
seem to the surprise of the House, stated
that in its present form he should vote a
gainst it* He had been he saiil in War
wickshire and Staffordshire, and had ad
dressed *JOO,OOO of the'people: he could
assure the house, that those not included
in the lranelise were much disappointed
and that a general reaction had taken
place. In Birmingham, Manchester,
Bolton, and Preston, the people believed
they were deluded by the hill—they ex
pected bread, meat, and clothes at a cheap
rate* hut they were disuppoiiitcd-*-uud,ou
being uskeil whether in electing represen
tatives they would prefer jCIO household
ers or the gentry. —(Hear, hear, from the
opposition.) The Spitalfield weavers*
from whom he, had received a deputation
declared tliut tlwy were not now as mad
as formerly, lor they did not expect to de
rive any benefit from the hill, not being
represented' by its provisions.
The subject again etrtue up on the 13tb
, and led to long and animated discus*
1 sious. Mr. Stanley, in the absence of
Lord John Russell, repeated what bad
been said by him on the day previous .as
. to the intentions of Ministers. ’ Sir Robert
| Peel contended that the alterations, and
; the submission of the number to tlxrl louse
j made altogether anew bill—Lord ,?.
; Rnssell, having entered the House, suid he
| would reserve further explanations until
I the 18th. Very hard words passed be
tween Sir E. Sugden and Mr. O’Connell,
j in relation to a charge of corruption in buys
I ing his seat, brought by the latter against
j the former. Lord .1. Russell agreed that
j the character of the House demanded
; that the Inc case should be cleared up.
'Flic w hole conversation was remarkably
animated and personal, laird Nugent ob
! tained leave to bring in a fill to abolish
tlie greater part of 101,596 oaths in the
( ustoms, and 194,0160aths in flic Excise
j ,u, d to substitute declarations, with penal
j ties of £IOOO for false OIK'S,

the distressed stale of Ireland which cai
iod forth agood deal of discussion' What

necessity ot introducing poor laws into
j Ireland, ns the only means of means of
: protecting the poor, and securing them, a

i lords.
In the House of Lords on ta« 1 Ith, in

*it Londoiiarv Learl Grey gave simi
lar explanations to those made in the
commons, in relation to the Ministerial

the measure.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
New York, May 20,
Af the very moment of putting this pa
per to press, wc have received by the
London packet ship Sovereign, the Lon
don paper of the evening of April loth.
Ihe letters train Pantzic, received on
tne l.*th in Loudon, contained very in
teresting news from Warsaw. Informa
tion had been received by a mercantile
bouse in Dant/.ie, from Warsaw, the 95th
Regiment of Russian troops, with some
other soldiers, had deserted and joined the
