From the Ntttmnal Journal. WASHINGTON CITT, Dec. 1. Indian War Dance. On Friday last our citizens were atl'rded much amusemect by the sons of the forest, who as-
"he had heard of battle?, and he longer! .
io lonow io tne held some wrnor" chief he rejoiced at this opportunity of gratifying his ambition, and discovered in the action, that at the age of a boy he had the strength of a man; returning home in triumph, flushed with ihe pride of con-" quest, he pursued some smaller game for a sensual repast, and m chasing some birds had occasion to cross a small river
on which he beheld an Indian foe and and squaw in a canoe. He took a circuitous route through the woods, and lav
in ambush to meet them. On their arproachhe shot and scalped the man, and took the woman prisioner, whom he inten- i A I I -
ueu io aaopi as nis sisie-r, neing young. This custom is to save ail their female prisoners, the young they adopt as sister, and the old as a mother. Thus in the harbarous state of nature they have an instinctive regard? for creation's most perfect woik "lovely woman." The
brave barbarians would not tarnish the glory of their conquest, by the unhallowed slaughter of helpless woman; jet the christian victors freqjiently conign these , unoffending victims Vnid their lisping babes to the sworcHfnd A mies, their motto being nua salus viclis nallam sperare salnlem, or as Dryden would
say "Tbea let us fall amidst our foes, "Detpair of lifo the means of lit ing shows.' Though cases .of extremity in war may sometimes oblige a cautious man to infringe established rules, jet the horrors of war should alwass be. checked by
acts of hnmanitv.
On the Indian's return to his tribe, his prisoner was slain. This provoked him exceedingly, but he coidd not re-
sent her murder, as they alleged in justification, that the blood of their relations was shed by her friends. Thev
also danced the "R juice Dance," after
the victory ot the Chinpewavs. and
others occasionally, rrgalir-g themselves with what Pat would call "Adam's ale,"
us pure and unadulterated as the wale? of their Lake, The corps havi n f fn r m P r? a 1 n r r r rip.
cle within which the warriors were placed, alKirded an opportunity to an immense multitude to enjoy the delights of the day with the most perfect orde.r ' and convenience. The motions of the Indians could not offend the most rigid and fastidious delicacy. C.
