FROM THE WESTERN REVIEW.
Adventure with the Indians.
« 7’he Western Review” i* print
r<! at Lexington, in the »tal« of Ken
turky, under theeuperinlendanreof Wil
liam Gibb* Hunt, ageudnmitn adcantagc
ondy known a* a writer; and ii devoted
principally to criticism, poetry, natural
hiiiory, antiquities, and local an#t dote*,
connected with the romantic history of
the early »ettler». The following thi
mine adventure, related in a late num
ber of this Review, cannot fail to nu ite
the ttrongevt inlereet:—.V. f. J.lmrruun.
The oelelir.d' i Colonel Boon
was taken prisoner in 1770, by the
Indians, and although erer watchful
for an opportunity of escape, con
sidered the attempt too hazardous
until roused hy the dangers which
threatened the early settlers of
Kentucky. He discovered that five
hundred warriors, under the com
mand of some Canadian officers,
were embodied for the purpose of
Attacking Boonshorougli. Inking
advantage of the privilege allowed
hi n from his skill in hunting, he un
der pretence of killing a deer, bold
ly turned his course towards the set
tlenient, and travelled incessantly,
day and night, about *OO miles, un
til he arrived at the stockade or
station named in honor of himself.
Mr. Smith was at this time com
mandant of toe little colony. Mis
Tank, us Major in the militia of Vir
ginia, and Ins personal qmdi'xa
tiaiis, occasioned him to he chosen
leader of the smalt hand of heroic
settlers, who, with the assistance ol
Colonel Boon, signalized themselves
in the memorable defence of that
place. We mean not to dwell upon
tliv bravery oftheir conduct. Who
snioui' \ineiicans could net other
. wise than bravely, when defending
their wives, their sisters, or their
cl ildreu ? Major Smith had another
not loss powerful motive, to stimu
late his natural courage. The ten
der feelings of love had kindled into
» flame, and made every emotion oi
his heart barn with a desire to .li
tinguish himself in defence of the
object of his attention, who, with
her parent*, laid some lime previous
sought an asylum in the fort.
The Indians invested the stock
•do, before the garrison had com
plrted the digging of a well, which
'(hey had commenced on receivin
information of the intended attack
Delay was absolutely necessary to
complete this important object. Hr
niu •ir numbers were too small to per
mit its being accomplished whei
employed in self-defence.—Tbev
Consequently entered into a decep
* live negotiation for the surrender
of the fort, which circumstance for
Innately gave them time to com
ph>le their undertaking. Majo
Smith, who with some others of tin
g iPrison, had engaged to meet an
« I i d number of the enemy at a
Spring, w ithin pistol shot of the sa
tioo, for the purpose of arr.ingiii
t< rms of capitulation, anticipated the
usual treachery ofthe savages, mid
placed a number of In* men on the
side opposite the pi ice of rendez
vous, with strict orders to tire imlis
crimiuately on the party, if « con
certed signal should he given. The
conference was held, and the pro
pus ds for surrender declined by our
country men, at a time when they
observed a parly of Indians secretly
creeping towards 4he place. The
hostile chiefs, who advanced under
pretence of taking leave, attempted
to seize our othcers. At this mo
ment, Smith waved his hat, when a
volley from the garrison prostrated
four of the enemy. It was perhaps
owing to the deliberate coolness of
our marksmen, that their own
party escaped into the fort with the
exception of one person, wounded
by the lire of those who had secret
ly advanced towards the spring.—
The siege was thus begun and con
tinued with incessant tiring, night
And day, until the losses of the be
•i'-ger« eventually obliged them to
w 1 1 lid raw.
Major Smith's manly heroism, his
Cool nul humane conduct through
out the defence of Boonsburougb,
w id' h then consisted of only a few
lug cabins stockaded together, pro- '
duced sensations in the bosom of our
young heroine, such as his previous
respectful attention had not effected.
These feelings were heightened by
lohc.itude fortlie life of her defender,
w. o experienced a violent aback of
f v or. in consequence iJftlie fatigues 1
be had undergone during the siege.
After a few weeks, the inhabi
tants of boonshorougli resumed the
peaceful enplovment of husbandry,
ami the proprietor of a farm on the
opposite side of the Kentucky river
removed bis family, and re-occupied
t e former cabins. It happened
B it our heroine, w bom we shall de
signate as Miss A. accompanied b\
a young female friend, tusk a walk
on the h«nks of that romantic
stream. for the purpose of exercise
•nd amusement. They rambled
•long the shore, and meeting w ith a
ymoe, determined to visit their op
'.j 1 . t *r.l
Jy uuaMiqpiuiueu iduk “n>“ ‘g-iutiu
% '
of a boat, yet, a# tbe river rna low,
they did not doubt their ability to
accomplish their object. '1 he tot
tering vessel was pushed from the
shore, and with hearts gay and light
is the zephyrs which ruffled the
pellucid element, our female navi
gators commenced their enterprise.
-Mutual raillery and laughter were
excited by their own want of skill.
The canoe was w hirled round, until
at length it struck a sand bar in a
short bend of the river, bey Wid the
immediate view of tlie fort, though
, not far distant from it. '1 hey were
compelled to wade to (he shore,
where, after adjusting their light
i summer dresses, they proceeded
■ to climb the bank, for the purpose
1 of paying their intended visit. At
tins moment, three Indians rushed
from a bushy covert, ai.d with sa
i vage menaces of instant death,
forced them along.
The horror of their unexpected
• situation, and the dread o( the up
. lifted tomahawk, propelled them
f forward at the will of their captors,
and they ascended with wonderful
I expedition the steep ravine which
led to the summit of the marble did
-of the Kentucky* Although breath
less and exhausted, not a moment
, was allowed for respiration ; then
• tangled clothes were torn hy the
• hushes, without their daring to look
hack in order to extricate them ;
their shoes were soon destroyed hy
< the rocks, and their wounded feet
and limbs stained with blood.—
Without a moment's respite, fatigue,
i despair, and torture attended every
r stop, and deprived them of all recol •
f lection, until our heroine was
• aroused by certain attentions which
t one of the Indians displayed. It
a was a true savage* evincement of
a love, for while goading on our help
- loss fern ales with a pointed stick, or
u using it with reiterated blows, he,
r in broken iCuglisb, gave Miss A. to
r understand, that her present suller
iogs should be recompensed by her
• becoming his squaw, on their ur
i rival at his nation. This informa
i lion proved nn acme of misery,
which at once roused the mind of
• our heroine, and determined her to
i risk every hazard. She broke the
• small branches of plants and bushes,
as they passed along, and when
■light overtook them, delayed the
’ I'.irty as much as possible, by
dunderiug movements and retarded
■depth The Indians repeatedly
liscovered her xctious, and, know
ing that, if pursued hy the garrison,
ii would occasion their own destnic
•ion, they rushed forward for the
mrpose of killing her ; several at
empts of (bis kind w ere restrained
>y her Indian lover, who, with
threats of recrimination, warded oi
iheir blows. In this manner om
female captives travelled through
■ml the night, and on return of day,
were exhausted with fatigue am)
i misery. Amomcularv delay toon
i dace, whilst the Indians shot a bnf-
I 10. and cut oil some pieces of its
flesh* This opportunity was not lost
hy Miss A. who emfe/ivored to in
fluence the feelings of her Indian
lover, by pointing to her womideu
frame and bleeding feet. Her pal
lid countenance betokened exliaus
ted nature, and with hitter tears, she
besought him to end her miseries
at once, or el e allow some respite
to her suffering. The heart of the
savage was affected, and after tra
velling a few miles further, he per
suaded his companions to stop, and,
while they cooked part of their
game, he occupied himself in mak
inga pa; rot mucasons for his captive.
Some few hours after the de
parture of the ladies from the fort,
Major Smith, at that time in a state
of convalescence, inquired after
them, ami walked to the river lor
the purpose of joining their parly.
He hailed the inhabitants on the op
posite bank, and, (hiding that the la
dies were not there,became alarmed,
and proceeded with another person
down the river to the canoe which
they reached by crossing the sand
har. Upon arriving on the other
side, they discovered tnocason
tracks, and proceeded with eager
and rapid strides up the ravine, un
til they assured themselves that
there were traces of only three In
dians, who had seized their female
triends, Smith, with an agonized
mind, sat down, whilst his compan
ion returned to the garrison for
arms, and with directions to obtain i
the assistance of two of the host <
woodsmen. Another party was or
dered likewise, immediately to pro- |
eed on horseback to Hie upper Bine
Licks, which, i t that time, was the ‘
use il pass for all northern Indians.
Nut a moment was lost. Major 1
Smith and his comrades soon began
to follow the devious track of the
Indians. Whilst day light lasted, !
ms sagacious eye rapidly traced ■
eiery indistinct sign. The bended (
abide of ;trass, the crushed lichen, t
tae smallest stone displaced, were !
unerring guides iu the pursuit
through places especially chosen
for the purpose of preventing a
discovery of the route. They for
tunately had sufficient time to un
ivel the first intricate mazes, pur
sued Oy the luoidui, and when Uis
sun was scfllng, rere convinced
that the savages intended to make
for the Blue Licks. This enabled
our party to follow the general di
rection of the route all night, and
after some search'on the following
morning, they recovered the Indian
trace at a short distance lieyond the
place where they bad killed the buf
falo. Some drops of blood which
had fallen from the meat alarmed
our commander, and they turned
back with the dreadful apprehension
that their female friends might be
murdered. Their notions minds
however were happily soon relie
ved. and Smith with silent expedi
tion resumed the trace, telling bis
companions that they would meet
their enemies at the next water
course. On their arrival at the
creek, seeing no marks on the oppo
site side, they waded down the
stream with the utmost precaution
until they found a stone wet by the
splashing of water.
The Major now silently arranged
his men, ordered one above and
another below the spot, whilst his
third companion was stationed at
the landing, as a central support. —
Smith cautiously crept forward on
his hands and knees until he saw
the curling smoke of the Indian tire.
With death-like silence he crawled
through the hushes, and within tbir
, ty yards discovered an Indian stoop
ing over the flame. The click of
L his rifle lock startled the savage,
who with eager 7 gaze looked around.
, At this moment the whistling bullet
' pierced his heart and he fell pros
trate on the lire. The two ladies
* sprang towards the Major, and
> dung about him just as the second
Indian rushed forward with his to
mahawk. Smith threw them off by
a sudden effort, and, turning his
gun, aimed a blow, which his anta
gonist evaded py springing to one
side. The movement was of little
avail, for he received his mortal
wound from the person stationed at
the rear. The third Indian ran up
the creek, and met his fate from the
hands of the person stationed in
that quarter.
We cannot pretend to describe
the sudden change of bursting joy
felt by our two young ladies. The
blanket coats of our woodsmen were
cut Into garments for the females,
whilst every humane assistance and
tender care, to lessen their fatigue,
were afforded during the slow pro
gress of their journey homeward.
No alarm was excited except for a
moment, on tiie ensuing day, when
the party of horsemen overtook
them. They had proceeded to the
Blue Licks, and discovering no In
dian trace, pursued a different
route to the garrison, which led
them on the trace of the victorious
and happy party.

The arrival of mr. Dackle.y with dis
patches from the American minister at
Madrid, is a most opportune circumstance.
110 se dispatches detibtiess unfold the
sentiments of the new Spanish Cabinet in
relation to the dispute with the United
Ma'es. Considering the nature of the
change which has taken place in Spain, it
•s not probable, that a government which
(eels its responsibility to the people will
suffer the peace of tlie two nations to hi
endangered to gratify the cupidity of tlie
minions of the court. It is therefore, to
he co jectured that such communications
have already been made a> will remove ail
ground of misunderstanding., The letters
from Cadi* have stated unequivocally that
l ie new government has ratified the trea
ty* a, 'd that the ratification is now sent
out. At all evt nls, it is extremely for
tunate that these dispatcheshave been re
ceived in time for the message winch is
understood to be in preparation: a message
which the public expects will contain such
a disclosure of the state of our relations,
with Spain us will serve fur the ground
*ork of definitive legislative measure* on
the subject.
