The following sketch of early Indian times in the West, and the life of the Indian Chief Rii()N-yan-nes8, is copied from the Rev. Jajifs B. Finley's History of Western Methodism: About the middle of July, 1782, seven Wyandotts crossed the Ohio, a few miles above Wheeling, and committed depredations upon the Southern shore, killing an old man, whom they found alone in his cabin, and spreading terror throughout the neighborhood. Within a few hours after the retreat eight men assembled from different parts of the small settlement, and pursued the enemy with grent expedition. Among the most active and efficient of the party were two brothers, Adam and Andrew Poe. Adam was particularly popular. In strength, action and hardihood, he had no equal, being finely formed and inured to all the perils of the woods. They had not followed the trail far before they" became satisfied that the depredators were conducted by Big Foot, a renowned chief of the Wyandott tribe, who derived the name 'from the immense size of his foot; and his strength was represented as herculean. Ho had also live brothers, and as they generally went in company, they were the terror of the whole country. Adam Poe was overjoyed at the idea of measuring his strength with that of so celebrated a chief, and urged the pursuit with a keenness which quickly brought him iu the vicinity of the enemy. For the last few miles the trail had led them up the Southern bank of the Ohio, where the foot prints in the sand were deep and obvious ; but when within a few yards of the point at which the whites as well as the Indians were in the habit of crossing, it suddenly diverged from the stream and stretched along a rocky ridge, forming an obtuse angle with its former direction. Here Adam halted for a moment, and directed his brother and the other young men to follow the trail with proper caution, while he himself still adhered to the river path, which led through clusters of willows, directly to the point where he supposed the enemy to lie. Having examined the priming of his gun, he crept cautiously through the bushes, till he had a view of the point of embarkation. Here lay two canoes, empty and aparently deserted. Being satisfied, however, that the Indians were close at hand, he relaxed nothing of his vigilance, and quickly gained a jutting cliff, which hung immediately over the canoes. Hearing a low murmur below, he peered cautiously over, and beheld the object of his search. The gigantic Big Foot lay below him in the shade of a willow, and was taking in a low, deep tone to another warrior, who seemed a mere pigmy by his side. Adam cautiously drew back, and cocked his gun. The mark was fair, the distance did not exceed twenty feet, and the. aim was unerring. Raising his rifle, slowly and cautiously, he took him nt Big Foot's breast, and drew the trigger. His gun fltislifd. 'Both Indians spranjr to their feet with a deep interjection of surprise, and for a single moment all three staTed nnnti Rach other. This inactivity was soon over. Adam was too much ham pered by the bushea to retreat, and setting his life upon the cast of a die, he sprang over the bushes that had sheltered him, and summoning all his powers, leaped boldly down the precipice, and alighted on the breast of Big Foot with a shock that bore him to the earth. At the moment of contact, Adam had also thrown his right arm around the neck of the smaller Indian, so that all three came to the earth together. At that mo ment a sharp firing was heard among the bushes above, announcing that the other party were engaged ; but the trio below. were too busy to attend to anytinng cut themselves. Big Foot was for an instant stunned bv the violence ol the shock, and Adorn was enabled to keep them both down. But the exertion necessary for that purpose was so great that he had no leasurc to draw his knite. Big Foot quickly recovered, and without attempting to rise, wrapped his long arms around Adam s body, and pressed him to his breast with the crushing force of a boa-constrictor. Adam as we havo al ready remarked, was a powerful man He instantly relaxed his hold of the small Indian, who sprang to his feet. Big Foot ordered him to run for his tomahawk, which laV 'within ten steps, and kill the i u:i- i. i.tj l: i- i wnuc man wime uu neiu una in msarms. Adam, soeing his danger, struggled man fully to extricate himself from the folds of the giant, but in vain. The lesser Indian approached with up lifted tomahawk, but Adam watched him closely, and as he was about to strike, gave him a kick so sudden and violent as to knock the towahawk lrom his hand and sent him staggering back into the water; Big Foot uttered an exclamation in a tone of deep contempt at the failure of his companion, and raising his voice to its highest pitch, thundered out several words in the Indian tongue, which Adam did not understand, but supposed to be a direction for a second attack. Tho lesser Indian now again approached, carefully shunning Adam's heels, and making many motions with his tomahawk, in order to deceive him as to the point where the blow would fall. This lusted for several seconds, until a thundering exclamation from Big Foot compelled his companion to strike. Such was Adam's dexterity and vigilance, that ho managed to receive the tomahawk in a glancing di-rection,upon his left wrist, wounding him deeply, but not disabling him. He now made a sudden and desperate effort to free himself from the arms of the giant, and succeded. Instantly snatching up a rifle, for the Indian did not venture to use one, for fear of shooting his companion, he shot the lesser Indian through the body; but scarcely had he done so when Big Foot arose, and placed one hand upon his collar, and the other upon his hip, pitched him ten feet into the air, as he himself would have pitched a child. Adam fell upon his back at the eclje of the water, but before his antagonist could spring upon him, he was again upon his feet, and stung with rage at the idea of being handled so easily, he attacked his gigantic foe with fury, which for a time, compensated lor interiority ot strength. It was now a fair fist fight be tween them; in the hurry of the struggle neither had leisure to draw a knife. The Indian struck awkwardly, and finding himself dropping to leeward, he closed, with his antagonist, and again hurled him to the ground. He quickly rolled into the river, and the struggle continued with unabated fury. The Indian being unused to such violent exertion, and having been much injured by the first shock to his stomach, Adam seized him by the scalp-lock, put his head under water, and held it there till the faint struggles of the Indian induced him to believe that he was drowned, when he released his hold, and attempted to draw his knife. The Indian had only feigned, and the moment Adam let go his hand, he regained his feet, and in turn put his adversary under. In the struggle both were carried into deep water, and each was compelled to relax his hold and swim tor his hie There was still one loaded rifle on shore, and each swam hard in order to reach it ; but the Indian proved the most expert and Adam, seeincr that he should be too late, turned and swam into the stream, in tenuintr to dive, nnd thus irtistrate his enemy's intentions. At this instant Andrew having heard that his brother was alone with two Indians, and in great danger, ran to the edge of the bank above, in order to assist him. Another white man followed him closely. Adam turned and seeing his brother, called to him to shoot the big Indian upon shore. Andrew's gun was empty. Fortunately Big Foot had seized the gun with which Adam had shot the lesser Indian. The contest now was who should load hrst. Big Foot poured in his powder first, but drawing his ramrod in too great a hurry, threw it into the river, and while he ran to recover it, Andrew had gained an advantage.Still the Indian was but a second too ate, for his gun was at his shoulder when Adam's ball entered his breast. The gun dropped from his hands, and he fell for ward upon his face upon the very brink of the nver. Andrew was alarmed lor his brother, who was scarcely able to swim, threw down his gun, and rushed into the river to assist his brother to the shore; but Adam, more intent upon securing the scalp of Big Foot as a trophy, than his own safety, called upon his brother to leave him alone and scalp the big Indian, who was now endeavoring to roll himself into the water. Andrew refused to obey, and insisted upon saving the living before al tending the dead. Big Foot, in the mean time, had succeeded in reaching the deep water before he expired. Not a man ol the Indian party had escaped. Five of Biff Foot's brothers, the flower of the Wyandott nation, had accompanied him in the expedition, and all perished Adam Poe recovered ot his wounds, and lived many years after this memorable event. He was the grandtather ot the Rev. Adam Poe. now the book ardent of the Methodist Episcopal Book Concern, in Cincinnati. The great loss sustained by the Wyandott nation in the death of the Big Foot brothers, created an implacable hatred to- ward their destroyers. Many an Indian malediction had been poured on the head of Adam Poe. and many a prize had been offered for his scalp. The residence of Adam Poe on the west bank of the Ohio river, at the mouth of Yellow-creek, and well known to the In dians. It seemed, however, that none of the nation possessed sufficient courage to encounter him alone lor a long time. At length the nation made choice of the bravest warrior in the person of Rhon Yanness. one of their chiefs. Having made all the preparation necessary for the accomplishment of his mission, he started on foot for the residence of Poe. After nnssino- throup-h the then wilderness of Ohio, on the bank of which his intended victim lived. No sooner had he placed his foot within the door of Pot;, than he was received with the utmost cordiality and friendship, while every hospitality thnt thn t-nhin afforded was tendered to the Indian truest. When the time for re tirement to rest had come, there being but one room and one bed, 1'oe made a com- fortable pallet for the Indian on the floor by the fire, alter which he ana nis wiie retired to rest, without any suspicion in regard to the design of the Indian. It was now a time of peace, and the Indians, particularly the Wyandotts, were regarded as friendly. It whs not long till they both fell asleep when Rhon-Yan-ness rose, stealthily from his conch, and pro ceeded cautiously with his tomahawk and scalping knife to the bedside of tho unconscious sleepers. Scarcely had he arrived at the spot than his kindness of his host . . 1 , . .1 ..I.T ' .1 Ui Hashed upon nis mum. --mm, iiniugm he, can I perpetrate an net of such cruelty upon one who has taken me into his wig-wain, and treated nn' with so much kind- . - . ... in oil. 1. ... r 1- ness nnd lnendslnp: i tie ueuer leenngs of his nature overcame him, and he found I it impossible to commit the act. Though j it might be honor for him with his nation, as the avenger of the death of Big Foot, he , could not nerve himself up to such a pitch j of desperation us to obliterate all the gral-, itude of his heart. With these feelings . he crept softly back to lus bed. Ho had not lain long until the question 'came upon him in somewhat of a different aspect. He reasoned thus "Have you not been solemnly set apart by the nation to avenge the death of its bravest warrior, ' and will not the ghosts of the departed haunt you in chase in the wilderness until it is appeased by the death of Poe?" At this, Rhon-Yan-ness again seized his dead ly instrument and sprang to his feet. It was now past midnight, and all was still. The light of the fire had gone out, and there were only a few burning coals left upon the hearth, from which was emitted a kind of twilight glare that enabled him to gaze upon the features of his victim. Summoning all his courage, he raised the fearful tomahawk, and was about to bury it in the head of his host, when something whispered, "Shame on the Indian that can strike a friend. Mean and cowardly is the warrior who will kill an enemy that has treated him kindly." His heart faltered, his hand trembled, and the tomahawk fell by his side. Without disturbing the family, he returned to his pallet, and dismissing all thoughts of revenge, he slept soundly till morning. Poe rose early and madehisfire without disturbing his gest, who was in a heavy slumber- When it was fully day, and the bright fire blazed around, he had an opportunity of gazing upon the broad, open features of the manly Indian whose giant form was before him. There he lay, with his tomahawk and "scalping-knife by his side. Poe understood enough of the Indian character to know that in the days of peace they were capable of the most sincere and lasting friendship; and though he had measured arms with them in thedead-ly strife, they were more sinned against than sinning, and whatever cruelties they might have committed, were excited by the depredations of the white man; hence he -loved the Indian, and had often bewailed the fate of Big Foot and his brothers. Anxious to enjoy the society of his Indian guest, he approached him, and gently toching him said, softly, "Wake brother, wake, the morning has come." The Indian sprang to his feet instantly, and seizing him by the hand bestowed his Indian blessing. After again partaking of the humble but bounteous fare of the cabin. he made ready for departure, As he was eaving, Poe furnished him with provisions for his iourney, and taking him by the hand, said, "Once we were at war, and were enemies, but now we are friends. We have buried the hatchet, and are brothers. Let us live in peace and broth erhood." Rhon-yan-ness was too over whelmed with a sense of gratitnde for the ' goodness of h:s heart to make any reply; but the big tear which rolled down his bronze cheek told the sincerity of grateful emotions, and he left to join his nation on the distant plains of bandusky. He often told ns that was a happy day in his life, and the more he thought and reasoned about the course he pursued the more he was convinced that he acted right. Not Jong after his return to his nation he became interested in missionary labors among his people, and the wonderful story of the white man's God, as He came to earth and suffered and died for sinners deeply affected his heart. Soon this bold intrepid Chief renounced his Indian religion and forms of worship and embraced Christianity. He was soundly , and hap pily converted to God, and became a burning and shining light in the midst of a dark and perverse nation. His whole life was unbfamable, and his character as a christian irreproachable: and we never knew a christian in any nation, or nmong any people, more innocent, guiltless and happy than Rhon-yan-ness. Rooted and grounded in love, he was steadfast, in his profession, and labored hard to elevate and improve his nation. His powerful influence as a chief was brought to bear upon the heartless trader, who would come among the Indians with his fire-water and rob them of their brains and furs. The Indians have cruelly treated, and it is high time the Government should interpose more effectually its authority in their behalf. How much we owe them as a nation none can tell; but it is high time that some move was made to repay the debt. We were deeply and intensely thrilling at the anniversary of the Parent Society, which was held in this city, by the speech of Bishop James, who has charge of the Indian missions. It was so true so appropriate, and fearless that we would, had we space, hand it down to posterity as the testimony of the Church in behalf of our native red brethern. It is further stated that Rhon-yan-ness lived sixteen years after his conversion, and was during the whole of that period a zealous and consistent member of the Church militant. The historian of Methodism will find materials of great value in this volume. The Church is greatly indebted to Mr. Finley for the industry with which he has collected such a copious fund of personal incidents, and so many important memorials of the past. These sketches, so full of the experience of per ilous border hie, nre of far more absorbing interest than any work of the imagination, and add another proof to the axiom that "truth is stranger than fiction."
