CHARLESTON, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 19, I8G9. AX IXDZAX TJIAMTIOX. Th? Story of tho Deluge on tliU Con? Uncut. The folioing rather singular tradition which exists among tho I'opsgo Indians respecting Montezuma, their rounder, ami tin; deluge, has, wo believe, never yoi appeared In print; at least not In Us present shape. Il was related by Captain Con Cuan, an aged and intelligent member of thc tribe, and was taken down from lils Ups by nn interpreter for Judge Henry T. Backus, ol'Arizona Territory. Judge Hack us has visited many of the places tnentloued In tho legend, and has boen au eye-witness of tho quadrennial feast sllll celebrated nt thc oave. Ho represents thc I'apagoes as being nominally Catholics, yet clinging to their na? tional tradition^ with great tenacity, and cher? ishing tho memory of SIont"T.uma with avon moro than saintly veneration. The tradition of tho deluge ls interesting In Its relation to tho oriirln or the Indians of tho countrv, and especially of tho ancient tribes who lived in the twilight of civilisation, until the Spanish Christians annihilated thom. Did they bring this tradition with Hiern from the Asiatic continent? Or. did thoy come in con? tact with Hie people of Ute old world, antece? dent to any historical evidence ol that lact. from whom they derived this tradition ? These arc Inquiries naturally suggested bv tho following narrative. Montezuma, lt will be understood, ls uni the monarch of that name whom Cortes dethroned, lt ls tho gen? eric term of their rulers, Uko Pharaoh, Casar, Ac. Beforo the Hood mon lived lo a croat age, so that they lost their tooth and crept about liku children. Aller a time they would get new teeth, and walk upright again Uko men In the Erlmo or life. Then lt was that the Croat pirie created thc mountains and peopled the earth on all sides. Then, loo, annuals talked Ukc men, and were the first lo tell or thc ap? proaching flood. About this, time appeared Montezuma, who collected a large quantity of gum from a plant called chuchi, and with this gum, which ls said lo bc insoluble in water. . and with other materials, he bulli a largo ves? sel, In which ho took refuge, closing and seal? ing thc door behind him. In like manner a cayote or prairie dog crept into a large cano stalk and closed the ends against the waler. The flood came up lo the ide nest mountains, and reached even thc birds, which cried Uko men with fright. When thc waters came down, Montezuma aud the cayote landed at Corra Prietta, which mountain some believe to be Montezuma's vessel. Aceordlng to another tradition they landed in the centre ot the earth, and, having come out of their vessels, Montezuma noticed the trail of a beetle, which bc followed until he found tho beetle fad In Hie mini. He then turned back, and meeting tho cayote, they em? braced each other In grief Montezuma ?eut tho cayote southward to find thc sea, which lt soon found and returned, when lt waa sont ou th? samo errand to the northward, bul re? turned unsuccessful. They then lav down to sleep, when Montezuma dreamed that he should form men and women out of olny, which he accordingly did. making two for each nation. Meanwhile the carole sat behind bim also making men, bul. the latter were Ill-form ed, BO that Montezuma ordered them to be re? moved. His own people multiplied rapidly, and built a large elly ou the north bank of a river, supposed to bc nt the mouth of Salt River, In Arizona, where tho remains ol' large ditches aro sllll visible. Montezuma next travelled southward, fol? lowed by large numbers of people. In accord? ance with a dream, ho thrust a rod lulu the earth, and water (lowed thence, which is thu origin or Hie springs nt Sania Rosa ami else? where. Aflora time tho Great Spirit appear-I ed to Montezuma ns un old man, and asked to baptize the people, that they might live be- j yond thc sky aller death, but Montezuma be? came angry und killed Ibo Groat Spirit. Thou thc latter arose from the dead by night and repeated tho request, when Montezuma grew angry again, declared that ho would take his people to Heaven by a low er, and killed tho Great Spirit a second lime, leaving bim on the ground, where he was dragged about asa plaything for four years. Ho thou re-1 turned to Heaven, removing ibo .un Umher I from tte earth as he ascended. After a long Interval ho descended again with thc same request as before. At this time Montezuma was living at the Cnso Blanco, or white house, elosu to Hie Plmo villages on the Gila River. The inside of this house was over? laid with pure gold. A third Hmo he slew the Oreat Spirit, but thc latter now becoming an ?ry, threw a loase Into Spain, which led to au ivaslon by thc Spaniards. ' Twice did Monte? zuma meet and repel the Invaders, bul before the third engagement thc golden ring Hew from the Unger of his daughter lo the linger of the Spanish commander, and tho silver ring of the latter flew to the Unger of tho former. Thus did she become leagued with Hie enemy, and when they were oui of provisions sue prevailed upon her people to throw thom t?? males Instead ol' arrows, and thus they were led at Montezuma's expense. After many severe conUlcls thc Spaniards were victorious, when the traitorous princess demanded thc band of the commander In marriage. He .agreed to this on condition that au eagle which he set free should alight on a prickly pear tree. Tho eagle tlid so, aud tho comman? der started to cel?brale the marriage al the pear tree, being followed by a largo train ol Papagoes; but, under the pretext of getting violins, powder, Ac, lie travelled on aud on until the Indians nil deserted him. Hencelorth, ns the story goos. Montezuma made no improvements, and Iiis people were scattered over the country. He nllerward de? posited the archives of the Pap ago and Puno nations In a cuve near Santa Rosa, and order? ed-that they celebrate a least lhere every lourth year, which custom ls still observed. The nation gradually diminished, and .Monte? zuma wandered about until ibu Iudlans have lost all traces of bim. IXTXLLXVTVAL COJlJiUt'TIOX. [From the Saturday Review.] rt is curious to rctlcct how much aa author may do to corrupt thc heart ortho head, and how he may nevertheless, so long us be does not sin In one point, escape all cea sn re. If be can only keep his book freu from what la called Immorality-that ls lo say, ir be cnn either lguore one side or human conduct al? together, or else ouly touch upon lt In the recognized conventional manner-bc mny give nie readers the falsest notions of human ute, ho may pervert their taste, he may ren? der them ns weak as sentimentality alono can render them, he may lend them lo relish nothing that la not seasoned willi tho most outrageous Incidents and coincidences, and he may still remain an author whoso works would bc placed by any motlier In the hands or any daughter. Ills strange bow blind the respectable world usually ls to all literary faults save ono. So long ns a book ls not licentious, lt ls held that it cannot bc a bad book. We arc Inclined to question, however, whether that which corrupts Hie Intellect docs not do as much bonn as Hint which corrupts the so-called mornllty. The tendency of a great deal of tho literature of Ibo present day ls to give people a thoroughly tulse Idea of life. Our novels, with their sickly scnilmon tality, their morbid self-analysis, their hateful sensationalism, help to train up n set of young raep and young women quito unlit lor tho humdrum dulles mid pleasures which must constitute the grcaler part or ench one's Ufo. It is not merely thc rank und Alu of our novel? ists who offend. Their tcmloucy ls now, ns it always has boen, merely ' to exaggerate the errors of their chiefs. There ls not one of our leading novelists who has not much lo answer for, aud we hardly know on whom we should lay most blamo. Mr. Dickens, perhaps, ranks as tho chief offender, fur he Ills who bas work? ed eon timentul I ty lo such an extent as would have raised, If Hutt were possible, a blush even on Sterne's brow. When tho author of the Sentimental Journey was going to play his tricks on his reader's eyes, al all events he chose as his subject a Jackass, and a dead one too. If death ls to be tncketl out so us io work upon our emotions -If ii is io be con? stantly drawing upon our tears, wc must con? fess that for our part wc feel less after-shame at the tear we dropped over the defunct donkey than at those we have shed In turn over Mr. Dickens' long Uno or dying heroes. At all events, the Rev. Mr. Sterne only killed his donkey once; while Mr. Dickens will never once for all kill off hi? favorito charsotor-hls hulf-ldlot or his sickly child-and so got dono with him. W o confess that, whenever wo have begun ono of Mr. Diekens' novels, we havo not hilt quite easy in our minds till we have been aide lo discover which character lt ls that bas beon brought Into this world solely with the view of being speedily ushered out of ll. Ills children, from lillie Dombey down? ward, might fairly rise up against him with tho old reproachful question of tho tombutono "What was I begun for To be so toon doue for?" To Mr. Dickens the whole modern sentimen? tal school must certainly look up ns Ita head. He has been the sourco of a groat deal or most, tearful writing; might we suggest. If he stands In need ol' amollo, that Hmo llb?lachrymal would be most, appropriator Mr. Thackeray himself ls nol free from tho same charge. He ?aw how easy the tear trick was to perform, and what applause greeted his great rival each time he r pealed ll ; unhappily he could not keep rrom trying it also. Al imitation, of course, Mr Thackeray was perfect, and we must allow that Colonel Newcomc's death quito equals, it it does not actually surpass, Mr. Dickens' most lachrymose efforts. H Charles II. hnd live t now-a-days, bo would scarcely have thought it needful to apologize for being a most unconscionable time dying. The fashion has changed, apparently, since his lime, and few can now gel their "dying done under half ado/.eti pages or so. Wo altogether protest ngalusl those death-bed scenes; wo have had enough of them, and more than enough. Henceforth, If a man has to die, let him, like a wounded wild intimal, creep on* to some hiding-place where he may pass out of the world with dignity aud alouo. We have, un? happily, every year to read and to criticise a great "many novels. Wo glvu fair notice thal we will not tolerate any more denth-bed ?conos, and more last dying speeches, liven our very executions are now private. Kow thal .lack Ketch does his business willi dignity, it is not too much to expect thal dur novelists should show tomi: little respect both for themselves nnd their readers. We hold that this overstrained senti? mentality, so Tar from widening and strength? ening ll man's sympathies with his fellow-crea? tures, really narrows and weakens then. The reader ls so fluttered by thc tear he drops over Hie Imaginary sorrow of some hero or heroine that he cannot bul congratulate himself on thc possession ol a lender heart. Ills conscience remains satisfied with tho sympathy he bas felt for sufferings which have had no real exist? ence, and his charily has been sutllciently ex? ercised in Ibo aid bc longed to bestow on those who by no possibility could have bean thu re? cipients.
