Aii anecdote relating to the capture of the
• lu'-rrlere has lady gone the rounds of the pa
p. is, which is stated to have been from an mi
| ii'iestionalili; source and characteristic of the
; , «>lncss and superior skill of the gallant Aineri- 1
S i ui commander. The anecdote is doubtless
1 . .m et in each importatit particular, although
v have often heard ii related witli som ; addi
t. >ns and slight variations, l>y a person who was
i A! i board the Constitu ion when the occurrence
t ink plac His version was us follows :
The (I'uerricre was lying to. The Consfftu
ti in was leisurely bearing down upon the enemy
i' ider her three toj'sai's —every man was at his!
r spec’iv station, and all ou board were eager ,
fn- the contest —when the (Juerrierc cominencttd|(
■ft ;de action at long shut. Commodore Hull gave
a peremptory order to his odicers not to apply a
s agio match until l\e gave the word. 11l a few
r dilutes a forty-two pounder from the Ciuerri- I
M 1 • took elect, and killed and wounded some of |
i tr hrav* tars. Lt, Morris inunediutely left his
station on die gun-deck to report the same to the
* 'ommodore, and requested permission to return j
t';!c tire, as lie men were very desirous to engage
» O O
\M the enemy.
• Mr. Morris,’ was the Commodore’s reply,
* are you ready fur action on the gun-deck ? *
‘ Vos, sir.’
* Well, keep so—but don’t let a gun be fired
till 1 give the word.’
In a few moments Mr. Morris again appeared,
and stated that he could with difficulty restrain
the men from giving the enemy a broadside —
.mi anxious were die}' to commence the engage
-1 meat. _ 1
4 Mr. Morris,’ reiterated the Commodore, in
t< ntlv ga/.ing on the English frigate, 4 are you j
. C C? O , -7 ♦ I
ready for action on the gun-deck ’
4 Vcs, sir—andi; is impossible for me any lon- ;
gi-r to restrain t!ie men from firing on the foe, |
I’lieir passions are wrought up to the highest j
•.ossilde pitch of excitement. Several of ourj
Sl aves: seamen are already killed and wounded,’ j
! 4 Keep cool, Mr. Morris, —keep cook See 1
all prepared, and do not sutler a gun to be fired 1
till I give the word.’ 1
'l’he gallant Lieu enant went bclow» In a
few moments, the vessels having neared each
other to within pistol shot distance, Morris was j
sent for to appear on the quarter deck.
Are you all ready for action, Mr. Morris?’
again demanded the Commodore.
4 We are all ready, sir—and the men are mut
luring horrid imprecations because they are not |
suffered to return the lire of the enemy.’
4 Fiac, tin n, in viol’s name! shouted the
Commodore in a voice of thunder.
It is added, that ho wore at the time a pair of*
I nankeen tights, —and he accompanied this soul
cheering order with such a tremendous stamp On
the deck with his right foot, that the unfortun
ate pantaloons were completely split open from j
ih knee to the waistband !
The conduct of Dacres, before and during j
the action, was such as might have been ex- j
pect«-d from a brave and generous enemy. Mr. i
Reed, a young man belonging to Brewster, Cape i
Cod., at present a respectable ship-master out of
Boston, had boon pressed on board the Gucrri
civ a few weeks previous to the engagement.
Several other American seamen were also on
board. When the Constitution was bearing i
| down in such gallant style, and it became evi- i
dent that a severe action with an American fri- j
gate was inevitable, young Reed led his station ■
and proceedi i to the quarter deck, and respect- i
fully, but flrmlv, represented to Capt. Dacres, |
that he was an American citizen, who had been
unjustly detained on board the English frigate ;
’hat he had hitherto faithfully performed the
duties which wore assigned him; but that it i
• ould not reasonably be expected lie would light
against his own countrymen —he therefore beg-i
god leave to decline the honor of participating ;
m the engagement!
The English Captain frankly told liim that
ho appreciat'd his patriotic feelings ; tnat ho
I* did not wish the Americans on boards to use j
against their countrymen : and ho subse
quently ordered them all into the cock-pit, to
fonder assistance to the surgeons, it it should bo ,
necessary. Reed left the spar deck after the |
Guerriere liad commenced the action. Clever- i
a! shots were known to have taken effect, but I
the Constitution had not yet tired a gun- much
to the amusement of the British tars, who p.e- j
dieted that the enemy would be taken without!,
any resistencc, with the exception ot a \ derail
r'an-of.war’s-man, who was in the battle of the j
Nile, and gruffly observed with a significant
shake of his head —‘ that d ——— d \ ankee
knows what he’s about.*
A few moments passed away, and the C onsti
tion poured in her tremendous broad-side —every
gun was doublc-shotcd and well pointed ; and
Bi the effect which it had on ihe enemy can hard-
I ly be conceived. Mistimed jests and jeers at
I the imperturbable, but harmless Yankees, gave
I place to the groans of the wounded and dying ;
I and sixteen poor mutilated wretches were ‘ tum-j
hied down into the cock-pit,’from the effects
' of’he first broadside ?
Dacres fought as long as a spar was stand
ing and a gun could be brought to bear upon
the enemy; but when his masts were com
pletely swept away, his officers and men mos:-
Ily killed and wounded, encumbering the docks
—while the scuppers were streaming with gor
j—when the Guerriere, which a few hours be
ll fore was justly considered one of the most splen
; did specimens of naval architecture which be
) longed to the British navy, lay on ‘ho water an
I; unsightly, unmanageable mass. When he had
.'no longer the stump of a mas*, left from which
! to display the proud flag of his country, the
.gallant Briton began to think that he had got
into an ifgTy .scrape, from which ho could no*
possibly extricate himself. lie could no longer
oppose even a feeble resistance to his more for-
'' unate foe.
Capt. Hull sent an officer to take possession
!of the Guerriere. When ho arrived along-side,
he demanded of the commander of the English
I frigate, if lie had struck,
; Dacres was extremely reluctant to make this
j concession in plain terms, but with a shrewd
j nes-i which would have done honor to a Yankee,
I endeavored to evade the question.
4 1 do not know that it would bo prudent to
j continue the engagement any longer,’said he.
!. 4 Do 1 understand you to say that you have
struck?’ inquired the American Lieutenant.
4 Not precisely,’returned Dacres ; 4 but 1 dont
! know that it will be worth while to fight any.
I longer.’ ;
4 lf you think it advisable, I will return a- i
( J 1 7
i board, replied the \ ankee, 4 and we will resume
I tlie engagement.’
4 Wliy I am pretty much hors do combat al
ii ready,’ said Dacres — £ 1 have hardly men enough
; left to work a gun, and my ship is in a sinking
; condition.’
4 1 wish to know, sir,’peremptorily demanded
I the American officer, 4 whether I am to consider
j you as a prisoner of war, or an enemy. I have
no time for farther parley.’
4 1 believe there is now no alternative—ls I
j could fight longer, I would with pleasure—but
—l—must —surrender —myself— a prisoner of
ii tear!' 1

CIIETOCA, or the Mi.U BUFFALO.
: The following facts are given on the author
j ity of Major Davenport of the army, an officer
j of high and respectable standing, and who wasj
conversant with all the circumstances, ihoy
are presented, without embellishment, as no art
: could add to the simple and deep interest of the
unadorned recital.
It will be necessary to premise, that the Os
age Indians occupy an extensive tract of coun
try on the North and West of the Arkansas ter
lilory. The game continued to be abundant
throughout this region, until the whites began to
intrude upon their hunting grounds. Killing
the Buffalo for the tongue and skins alone, the
whites committed great havoc among them, and
the animals continually attacked, receded from
the scene of slaughter. The government of the
| United States, to protect these, and other In
dians, from such unjust invasions of their territo
j ry, passed a law prohibitingourcilizensfromhuiit
i ing on the Indian lands. This wholesome law
| was often evaded, and its violation was the more
! distressing to the Usages, as the game had al
i ready become scarce ; and being hemmed in to
.(the westward by the Pawnees, a powerful and
j warlike tribe, with whom they were always at
j war, they wore unable to extend their hunting
! grounds in that direction.
j In the spring of 1824, a party, consisting of j
ithree or four whites, as many half breed In- j
dians, and a negro, disregarding die law, went ,
from the borders of the Arkansas territory to
hunt in the Indian lands. They were discover
ed by a party of Usages led by Chctoca Wa
j shenpesha, or the Mad Buffalo, the most famous
I war-chief of that tribe. Mistaking the hunters,
|as they afterwards stated, for Indians of an un
friendly nation, they attacked and killed several
of the party. But ascertaining the character
of those who had fallen, they expressed much
regret: 44 we fear,” said they, 44 that it will make
rouble.” Some of them were even melted to
tears.
As always happens in such cases, the affair
j produced great excitement among the inhabitants
j on the frontier, whose fears and passions arc al
| wavs excited by the slightest insult from their
; warlike neighbours. The aggressors were de
! mandect from their tribe by the commandant of
i the American troops stationed on the Neotio ri
ver. After much consultation among themselves,
and upon the frequent reiteration of the demand,
they met in council at the garrison to the num
ber of three or four hundred. They formed
! themselves into a circle to hold their talk after
' their own fashion. The demand was again re-
I peated, and an appeal made to them, enforcing
I the necessity of their compliance, and the evil
i consequences which might result from a refusal. '
| At length the Mad Buffalo arose with great dig
i nity, and coming forward, declared himself to
have been the leader of the party accused. He
expressed ins willingness to make any atone-
I ment for the wrong which he had ignorantly
i committed against the children of the great fa
ther, the President, and stepping into the ring,
I■• I deliver myself up,” said he to an American ,
; commandant, 44 to be dealt with as may be
thought proper.” Five other warriors immedi
ately followed his example. They were taken
in charge, and held in close custody at the fort
I for a few days, and then sent under a strong
guard, down the Arkansas to Little Rock, distant
about three hundred miles. During the first, or
| second night of their journey, one of them slip
i ped off’ his hand-cuffs, and made his escape.
I Mad Buffalo was very much distressed at the j
; event. He spoke of the desm ter with vehe
jment indignation, as a coward, who had disgra
ced the nation and himself.
1| At the mouth of the Porto, they met with
Major Davenport, who had been known to Mad
Buffalo and his people for about two years, and
whose frank and soldierly deportment »ad won
their confidence. They expressed great plea
sure at this meeting, and consulted with him as
a friend, respecting their situation. He explain
ed to them, as well as he could, the nature of
I their offence; and that under the laws of the -
nited States, they would have to bo tried for
'•murder, by a court of justice, under the civil
authority, and if found guilty, would be punish
j| ed with'death by hanging. He advised them
s to employ counsel to defend them, as our own
!'citizens did under similar circumstances.
The Mad Buffalo seemed to be much moved
i by this explanation, and for the first time to
•i| comprehend his real situation. He told Major
. Davenport that he had expected to appear before
; ja council of warriors like himself, who would.
'decide, on principles of honour, and the pafticu j
. |lar circumstances, whether he had violated the j
j plighted faith between his tribe and the children!
- iof his great father. He did not expect, he said,'
i |to be tried by laws, of which he was ignorant. I
land which, as it appeared to him, very unjustly!
i | affixed the punishment to his offence beforehand.
• He requested Major Davenport to act as his'
t counsel. But he declined, assuring the chief,!
' that not being a lawyer, be could render him no;
r service, and that it was, besides, impossible fori
. him to leave his post to attend a trial, at a spot
so distant.
i On the following morning the Mad Buffalo
, appeared much dejected, and to] i Major Da
i venport that he knew not how to act ; that he
1 knew not what his fate would be, nor what in
j I justice it ought to be. IT s countenance was
. | indicative of strong sensibility, and many con
, | tending emotions. He exhibited no symptoms
jof fear or alarm. But all the unyielding pride
> and stubborn prejudices of the Indian character j
were aroused, as he looked at the approaching j
; crisis.
He again desired Major Davenport to speak :
I for him, and delivered to him his Avar club as
! a token that he made him his deputy, with full
| power to act for him in every emergency. He
j requested the Major to show the war club to
jClaimore, the principle chief of the Usages,
I who, on seeing that symbol, would do whatever
! might be required of him.
44 When I saw you yesterday,” said he, 44 I felt
as if I had scon my father-. 1 know you to be
my friend.—Go to Claimore —show him my
i war club. Whatever you think ought to be
done forme, toll Claimore and he will do it.”
They parted, the one for Little Rock, the
other for the post on Neotio river. On their ar
rival at the Rock, a smith was sent for to re
move the manacles from the arms of the prison
ers, previous to their being confined in jail.
But the Buffalo, without waiting for assistance,
threw the irons from his wrist, and turning to j
the officer who had charge of liim-^
‘ 4 Go,” said he, “and tell your colonel, that
the Mad Buffalo could have escaped at any mo
ment he pleased, but would not. Tell him, that
I I gave myself up to the white people to answer)

mediately by a council of warriors, without |
being confined. They said they must lie my
arms—and I would not refuse. They said 1
must bo brought here—and I have come with
. out resistance.
Major Davenport saw Claimore, showed him
trie war club, advised him to employ counsel
for his people below, and told him that the Buf
falo wished him to attend his trial, and see jus
tice done him. Claimore refused to a-‘end the
trial, as he considered it not safe to trust him
self amongst enemies ; hut offered five hundred
dollars for counsel, which was accepted and
paid.
When the trial came on at the Rock, no oxer
tions, corresponding with the importance of
the case, were made for the prisoners. No le- r
gal evidence was produced against them, nor a
case made out to warrant conviction. Three
of them were acquitted. But as it was thought
necessary by the politic jury to make an exam- jj
pie, which should strike terror among the In-1; (
dians, the Mad Buffalo and the Xdttle Eagle jli
were selected as victims to the prejudice and : 1
:j vengeance of tbo neighboring whites, the Buf
j ftdo, on account of his influence in the tribe, and 1
; the Eagle, because the lot happened to fall up- i
on him. 1
The Buffalo behaved during the trial with
the same resignation, the same calm courage j
and dignity, as he had all along exhibited- He
and the Eagle were condemned to be hung ; and
the three who were acquitted returned to their
tribe. j
The sons of the Buffalo, some of whom were
quite grown up, frequently visited Major Da-.
venport at the garrison, and always requested
to sec the war club. After they heard that their 1
father was condemned and they despaired of
again seeing him, they requested the Major to
give them the war club. They would often se
cretly and silently examine it, while the tears ]
would roll down their cheeks. He promised
to give ii to the eldest of the sons, when it -
should be ascertained that their father never <
would return, but not before.
The Buffalo declared he would never submit :
to be hung up by the Heck; and made some un- :
successful attempts to des roy himself. They ;
were respited from time to time by the acting I
governor, who took occasion to visit them in the J
prison. Upon being introduced, the Buffalo
made him a speech, in which he expressed his ft
sentiments in loud, figurative, and fearless lan- K
■ guage. In the midst of his speech, the Eagle j j
muched him, and told him, diat in speaking so «
loud he might give offence. Give offence!’ |
replied Buffalo indignan ly, 44 am not 1 a man as
well as he ?” . :
Much interest was made by Major Daven
port, Governor M 4 Nair, and some others, to ob- j ;
tain their pardon. After about a year’s impri- !
| sonment they were finally pardoned by Presi- j
' dent Adams, soon after entering upon the duty •
of his office in 1525. They were liberated at
the Rock, and supplied by the people at the vii- I
lage with a gun, ammunition, and provisions for j
their journey home.
Such, however, are the jealousy and hatred
existing between the frontier settlers and the In- 1
dians, that, to avoid the danger of being shot on
the wav, it was necessary for them to take a cir- :
cuit around the settlements of more than three ]
hundred miles. M ith ‘his view they took the;
direction of the mountains between the Arkan-'
sas and Red rivers, lying close by day, and tra
velling by night, and following the chain of j
■mountains, until they had passed the last set- j I
tlcment. j
Here they were so much exhausted with him- i
iger, fatigue, swelled legs, and sore feet, that'
thev could proceed no further ; and to add to)
I their other sufferings, the Buffalo was taken)
' sick. Tiie Eagle left him with a view of sav
,'nig himself, and, if possible, of sending relief
• to his companion. Left to himself, the Buffalo
[ heated a stone, and, by applying it to his breast, ;
was greatly relieved. He again pursued hislj
, journev, passed the Eagle °n the way without j
knowing when or where, and arrived at the gar
rison at Grand River, so much emaciated, tha
j Major Davenport did not know him. He had
not fell safe, until he reached this point; and he
could not give utterance to his joy and gratitude,
except by emphatic gestures and inarticulate
sounds. Major Davenport gave him his war
ii club, supplied him with a horse and provisions,
j| and sent him on to his tribe. The Little Ea
j glc arrived soon after, and was sent on in the
same manner,
ii The document containing their pardon was
I (soon afterwards sent on, and delivered to them.
; But they could not comprehend its meaning. As
'! it was a large paper, and such as had been pre
i seated to them to sign, when they gave away
! their lands, they viewed it with much jealousy
I and alarm. Alter recruiting their s‘retigth a
O Cj
j little, the Buffalo and Eagle, accompanied by a
bout two hundred of the Usages, returned to the
garrison to learn what the big paper meant. Un
its being read and explained to them and being
told that it said nothing about their lands, they
w'eht away perfectly satisfied, expressing the
most friendly disposition towards their great fa
ther, the President.
Thus terminated the affray and trial of the
Mad Buffalo and His Companions—strongly il
j lustrating the character of these rude sons of the
| forest, their views of civilized jurisprudence,
| and the absurdity, if not injus ice, of making
them amenable to the laws, of which they must
be wholly ignonant.
