NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. No. CLVIII-JULY, 1863.-VOL. XXVII. II. HARRISON'S CAMPAIGNS. EVERAL months before war between the and Great Britain was clared the secret savage allies of the Crown had commenced actual hostilities. The Treaty of Greenville, in 1795, after Wayne's severe chastisement of the Indians in the Maumee Valley, would have kept peace with the savages forever had they been free from the influences of British emissaries. The agents of that Government in Canada, largely engaged in the Indian trade, and coveting a monopoly of the traffic, never neglected an opportunity to incite the Red men to hostilities against the White men, always vehemently alleging that the whole magnificent country northward of the Ohio River belonged to the former, and that the latter held possession of it by right only of violence and fraud. They urged the Indians to drive the Americans beyond the Ohio, and assured them that ample aid should be given them from Canada in the patriotic enterprise. Among the most influential leaders of the Indians of the Northwest in the early part of this century were two Shawnoese brothers, born of a Creek woman, at the same time with a third, on the banks of the Mad River, not far from Springfield, Elkswatawa. Tecumtha, or "the wild-cat springing on its prey," was a great and honorable warrior with a statesman's genius. Elkswatawa, or "the loud voice," was a cunning, unprincipled, hypocritical charlatan, who made the obsequious superstitions of his people the fulcrum of his personal potency. One day, while lighting his pipe, he fell to the earth as if dead. Preparations were made for his burial. When his friends were about to remove him he opened his eyes and said, "Be not fearful. I have been in the Land of the Blessed. Call the nation together, that I may tell them what I have seen and heard." His people were speedily assembled, when he again spoke, saying, "Two beautiful young men were sent to me by the Great Spirit, who said, The Master of Life is angry with you all. He will destroy you unless you refrain from drunkenness, lying, stealing, and witchcraft, and turn yourselves to him. Unless the Red men shall do this they shall never see the beautiful place Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1863, by Harper and Brothers, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court for the Southern District of New York.
