Dan tv. l Boone, one of the first adventurers who penetrated into the wilds of Kentucky, was horn ui Virginia. He was, almost from his in t inev, addicted to hunting in the woods. He emigrated early to North Carolina, then recent lv settle I. Having determined lo cross the wil *l > vti* 'ss bordering on i he Gum her laud mountains, in quest of the region of Kentucky, then little known, he s-t on* on his expedition, with five companions, May i, 1700. June 7, they amv-j ed at i’ed River, north ofthc Kentucky, Ashortj time aftenVards, Boone and one of his compan-j i,,ns, John Stewart, were captured by a party of savages. They soon cscajxjtl but could discover no traces of their friends, "ho had returned home. Boone and Stewart would have been eon •.trained lo follow them, bad not Squire Boone, the brother of Daniel, pursued flxeir track from North Carolina and relieved them with a few; necessaries.—Shortly afterwards, Stewart was' killed by the Indians,' and the two Boones were h-fi the only white men in the wilderness. They passed tin* winter in a cabin. In May, 1770, Boone’s brother returned homo. In July ofthc same year, however, he came back, according t<> .aero merit. They then traversed the coun tr\ to the Cumberland river, and the following Year, r. turned to their families, with a determi nation of returning with them to Kentucky- In September, 17 73, Boone commenced his remov al to Kentucky, with his own, and five other fain ili. , and was joined by 10 men, who placed themselves under bis guidance. Being attacked bv the Indians, six ol'bis men were slain, and the eat le belonging to the party dispersed. The sur. Ivors returned, in consequence, to the set tlements on ( Minch river, about forty miles from the .seen ■of action. A company of North Caro lina, having firmed a plan of purchasing the Jands on the south sido of the Kentucky river from the southern Indians, employed Boone to buy a tract of country, the limits of which were described to him. He performed the service and sunn alter, made a road from the settlements on the Holstein to tin* Kentucky river, notwith standing the incessant attacks of the Indians, in which li>ur of his men were killed and 5 wound ed. In April, 1770, lie built a fort at a salt spring, on the southern bank of the Kentucky, where Boonesborough is now situated. It consisted ot a block-house and several cabins enclosed with palisades. In 1777, he sustained two sieges in Buoncsborough from the Indians, but repulsed them. In the following year, however, Feb. 7,| Boone was taken prisoner by the savages, whilei hunting, with a number of his men. In May they, were conducted ’o Detroit, where they experi enced great kindness from Governor Hamilton, the British commander of that post. He even 1 offered ihe Indians £IOO for their prisoner, in] order that he might liberate him on parole, but. they would not part with him, having conceived fur him sentiments of great affection and re-, spool. On his return he was adopted by one of. the principal chiefs ofChilicothc, and might have boil bappv in ’.his situation, had not the thoughts of his wifi and children continually kept alive the desir >. escape. This he eifected one mor ning, h iving risen at the usual hunting hour, and depart'd, apparently fir the woods, but in re alitv for Booiiesborongli. He arrived there on the 20th of June, aficr a journey of IGO miles, which he performed in four days, having eaten, it is s.ii !, but one meal during that time. On the ''tli of Angus-, a ho ly of savages, to the num ber of 4-70, commanded by Canadian french man and some of their own chiefs, iuves'cd the |.»rl, with British colors flying. B. was sum moned to surrender, but announced his do'erau nation, and that of the garrison, who amounted; to about tiftv men, “to defend the fort as long; as one of them was alive.' The enemy then ro-j solved to obtain it by sratagcin, and requested; that nine ofthe principal jx rsoas of the garrison; would come out and treat with them, promising; terms so favorable, that tlue invitation was ac-! copied. After the articles of the treat} laid been; signed, I), and ids companions were told that it was customary upon such occasions, among the Indians, for two of them to shake each white man bv the hand, in order to evince the sincerity ofj their friendship. This was also agreed to; and] ■eordiuglv two Indians approached each ot the nine, and taking his hand, grappled him, with the intent of making him prisoner. I heir oh ■;Cvt being then immediately perceived, I>. and his party extricated themselves, and retreated into the fort, amid a heavy fire from the sa\ a gos. An attack was then quickly commence , and continued until the 20th ot August, when the encmv abandoned the siege. 1 his v. as the Inst attempt ofthe Indians to possess themsches of Boones bo rough. In October, as Boone v. as returning from the Blue Licks, with bis brother, the latter was slain, and Boone pursued by a party of Indians for three miles, by the aid oi a dog; but. having killed the animal, he escaped. In 1782, the depredations of the savages in creasing to an intolerable extent, Boone, with other militia officers, collected men, and went in pursuit of a large hotly, who had marched beyond the Blue Licks to a bend of the main fork of the Licking river, forty miles from I Lexington. They overtook them August 19, but being much inferior in numbers were ob liged to retreat. General Clark, then at the falls of the Ohio, immediately assembled a con siderable number of men, and commenced the - jpursuit ofthe savages, accompanied by Boone. *M From that time until Boone resided alter nately in Kentucky and in Virginia. In that 'd year he removed to I pper Louisiana, whore he [ ■ received n grant from the Spanish authorities of j two thousand acres of land. His children, j friends and followers, were also presented with * eight hundred acres each. He settled with them on the Missouri river, at Charette, some distance "I beyond the inhabited parts of the country, where 'll he followed his usual course of lifi —hunting , and trapping fur hears —until September, 1822. when he died, a* the residence of his son, Major "; A. Boone, in Montgomery county, in the 85th year of his age. He had been gradually dc ' I dining for some years previous to bis decease. : It is related, that, some time before that event, |he had two coffins made out of a favorite cher ry-tree, the first of which hot fitting, he gave to ■ | a son-in-law; in the second ho was buried, hav ing bestowed on it a fine polish by a course of | nibbing fur several years. His sons and | daughters still reside in Missouri. PL L.TON. Judge Story, in a discourse delivered before, t the Boston Mechanics’ Lyceum, said —“ 1 my is If have heard the illustrious inventor relate, in an animated and a flee ling manner, the his tory of his labors and discouragements. When, said be, 1 was building my first ►Steamboat at j Nuw-York, the project was viewed by llio pub i lie either with indifference, or with contempt, as a visionary scheme. My friends, indeed, wore 1 civil, but they were shy. They listened with patience to my explanations, but with a sett tied | cast of incredulity on their countenances. I | felt the full force of the lamentation of the poet. I “ Truths would yon teach, to save a sinking land, j All .slum, none aid you, and few understand. ,1 As I had ooension to pass daily to and from | the building yard, while my boat was in pro ; gross, i have ofien loitered unknown near the j idle groups of strangers, gathering in litile cir jclcs, and heard various inquiries as to the ob ject of this new vehicle. The language was |jj uniformly that of scorn or sneer or ridicule. !j The loud laugh often rose at my expense ; the dry jest ; the wise calculations of losses and ex penditures; the dull but endless repetition ofthe Fulton Folly. Never did a single encouraging remark, a bright hope or a warm wish, cross my path.—-Silence itself was but politeness, veil ing its doubts, or hiding its reproaches. A; length the day arrived when the experiment was to be put in operation. Tome it was a most trying and interesting occasion. I invited many friends to go on board to witness the first .suc cessful trip. Many of them did me the favor to attend, as a matter of personal respect, but it was manifest that they did it with reluctance, fearing to be the partners of my mortification, and not of my triumph. I was well aware, tha in mv ease there were many reasons to doubt of my own success. The machinery was new 1 and ill made ; many parts of it were constructed bv mechanics unaccustomed to such work ; and | unexpected difficulties might reasonably be pre sumed to present themselves from other causes. The moment arrived m which the word was to bo given for the vessel to move. My friends j wore in groups on the deck. There was an -1 xiety mixed with fear among them. They were silent, and sad, and weary. I read in their looks i but disaster, and almost.-repented of mv ( O . * *• | efforts. Tho signal was given, and the boa' 1 1 moved on a short distance, and then stopped, j and became immovable. To the silence of the j preceding moment now succeeded murmurs of 1 | discontent and agitations, and whispers and J j shrugs. I could hear distinctly repeated, “ I j told you it would be so —it is a foolish scheme !| —I wish wc were well out of it.” I elevated j myself upon a platform, and addressed the as scrub] r, stated that I knew not what was the j; matter ; but if they would be quiet, and in ijdulge ijie for a half hour, I would cither go on j|or abandon the voyage for that time. This l ijshort respite was conceded without objection, ■jj 1 went below, examined tlio machinery, and ij discovered that tho cause was a slight mal-ad j justment of some of the work. In a short pc ; Vied it was obviated. The boat was put in mo tion. She continued to move on. All were still incredulous. None seemed willing to trust tho evidence of their own sense. Wc left the fair city of New-York ; we passed through the romantic ever-varying scenery of the highlands; we descried the clustering houses of Albany ; we readied its shores : and, then, even then, when all seemed achieved, I was the victim of disappointment. Imagination superseded the in fluence of fact. It was then doubted, if it could be done again; or if done, it was doubted if it could bo made of any great value.” ! Such was the history of the first experiment, ias it fell, not in the very language which I have Ii used, but in substance, from tho lips ofthe inven tor. Ho did not five indeed to enjoy the full ■ dorr of his invention. It is mournful to say j 1, that attempts wore made to rob him in the first jj place of his invention, and next of its fruits.] j j{ c fdla victim to his efforts to sustain his title! i: to both. When already his invention covered] the waters ofthe Hudson, beseemed little satis-] 1 lifted with the results, and looked forward to lav | more extensive operations. My ultimate tn-| ‘lumph. he used to say, my ultimate triumph will] lij i, e on the Mississippi. I know indeed, that even j; n ow it is deemed impossible by many, that the 'j difficulties of its navigation can he overcome. ' But lam confident of success. I may not live to see it : hut the Mississippi will yet be covered ‘ with steam boats ; and thus an entire change 'j bo wrought in the course of tho internal navi- galion and commerce ot our country. ‘ 1 And it has been wrought. And the steam * j boat, looking to its effects noon commerce and * j navigation ; to the combined influences ot facili : ties of travelling and facilities of trade, of rapid 5 circulation of news, and still more rapid circula -5 ticn of pleasure and produces, seems destined to * be numbered among the noblest benefactions of 1 the human race. i BARON CI'VfER. ’ A Correspondent of the New-York Observer i gives the following account of the kite Baron 1 ; Cuvier: , , 11 The Baron Cuvier belonged to the Lutheran ► ! Church. In his youth, his studies wore design ii ed to prepare him for the office of the sacred V ministry ; but not being sustained in his rxamina - tion in theology, he devoted himself to the busi es ness of teaching, and took charge of the cduca - tion ofa nobleman’sson in Normandy. Here he 2 had leisure and means for studying the natural . sciences. When he was about thirty years of - jage he went to Paris, where bis strong intellcc i Dual i>owers soon raised him to dis inction. M. .* j Cuvier performed for zoology what the illustrious f Linnaeus did for botany ; He established a new , (classification of animals, founded upon their i i natural and permanent properties. Tins science, i j which had no existence until M. Cuvier invent. 1 jed it, is called Comparative Anatomy. Ilesnc • 1 needed in rc-consfructing, with sonic ancient : bones discovered in the bowels of the earth, . ; more than a hundred kinds of animals, which do ■ |not now exist on the face of the glob°. The i labors of M. Cuvier upon those fossil bones have placed him at the head of the naturalists of France, and indeed ofthc world. But what especially commends M. Cuvier to the favour ofthe Chris'ian community, is Ins re i searches and discoveries in the science of geolo gy. His work on the revolutions ofthc surface of the globe, is admirable, nor only for its clear method, and the force of genius which appears; in every page, but because it proves by scientific inductions the truth of the Mosaic, history in the first chapters of Genesis. M. Cuvier has trac ' ed on the globe itself the work of creation ; he lias shown its successive construction in six days, as related by the author of Genesis, and in a work entitled “History of the Natural Sciences,” be lias supported his geological theory by histo rical proofs, showing tha there is no tradition which reaches farther back than the period fixed by Moses for the creation of tho world. He li«s proved, against the opinion of many naturalists, that the human race descended from one stock or family, which he places in the elevated plains of central Asia. All these labors which confirm the testimony ofthe Bible, a v e vouchers which- Chrisdans c n now oppose with confidence to] the objections ofinfidels. True, the pious, with-: out the aid of human science, have a firm faith in the word of Gad, but sfiil this science is im portant, and should rejoice the Hearts of Chris tians, because it serves to confound infidels and to expose flic ignorance of such ns question the truth ofDivine Revelation. Thanks to God then, bat be lias raised up a man so profoundly learn ed as M. Cuvier, to stop the mouths oft lie false philosophers which our age has produced. The sudden and unexpected death of M. Cu vier is the more regretted by Christians in Franco, because this illustrious man had con sented to preside ;U the next annual meeting of the Bilile Society of Paris; and he had proposed as the topic of his opening discourse, the agree ment between the Mosaic history and the modern discoveries in geology. Other writers, it is 'rue, can perform this work; but none with the au thority and influence of M. Cuvier. Os him only can if he said in our day, that he. was the giant of science, and that all Europe listened (o his in s'ructions. His death leaves an irreparable void in our scientific institutions.—No Frenchman, whatever be Ijis personal merit, can aspire to fill so high a place iu ihe learned world. Besides the various duties wliicfi lie perform ed in the council of state, in the faculty of let ters, in the garden of plan's, doc. M. Cuvier; was also Director General of Protestant Af fairs of the kingdom. In this iiigli post, he ren iered important serv ices to our Reformed Churches by his credit with the Government. Wc must confess, however, without wishing to cast blame on this great man, now gone to the tomb, that be did not always show as Director General of French Protes an'ism, all ihe zeal and the piety which was naturally expected . from him. M. Cuvier was somewhat of a corn*, tier, as were most of tlie scientific men who fig. ured under the reign of Napoleon. He was afraid to commit himself before the court of Louis XVIII. and Charles X. which was filled with jesuits. He disliked what in France is called Methodism. —He would have a piety not much opposed to the opinions of the age ; n Gospel more accommodating (o men of the world ; and his prejudices against vital piety ; sometimes led him to adopt weak measures as a politician, and rigorous measures against such pastors as showed an ardent zeal. M. Cuvier very much dreaded separation ; as if it were not neccssarv. in some circumstances, that the church of Christ should separate from the church of the world! If Luther and Calvin had been afraid of separation, our glorious Re-j formation would never have taken place. But]! notwithstanding these blemishes, the career of M. Cuvier has been noble and brilliarr ; and i the faul.s to which wc have referred should not . make us forget the high qualities and eminent services of one of the most universal and pro found genius of our age. 'The memory of M. Cuvier will always be held in high honor by ♦he Pro’estant churches of France. COtNCIJi c:iiA>3JßuiH• At a Meeting of ike City Council, on the IBth July. 1832.
