Jantcs Morgan was a native of Maryland, married at tut curly age, und Boon after Mettled Bryant’s Station, in the wild* of Kentuck. Like most pioneers of tho West, he had cut down the cane, built a cabin, deadened the timber,en closed u Held with .» worm fence, and planted some on the 17tl» of August, 1782.— The sun hud descended; a pleasatu breeze was playing through the surrounding wood, tho cane bowed under its influence, and tho broad leaves corn waved in the air. Morgan had seated himself in the door of his cabin, with his infant on his knee. 11 is young and happy wile had laid aside her spinning wheel, and was busily engaged in preparing the frugal meal. That aflernnoti ho accidentally found a bundle ol letters which ho had finished reading tu Ins wile before he had taken his seat in the door. It was a correspondence in which they ttcknowl- edgtdun early and anient attachment for each other, and the perusal left evident traces of joy in the faces of both : the little infant, loo, seemed to partake of its kind parents’ Icehngs by cheerful smiles, playful humor, and infantile caresses. While thus agreeably employed, tho report of a rille was beard, another followed m quick suc cession. Morgan sprang to In* feel, Ins wife run to the dour, and tliev Miuultuucou&ly exclaimed— “Indians! 1 ’ The door was instantly barred, und tho next instant their fears wore realized by a bold and spirited attack of a small party of Italians. Tho cabin could not be successfully defended, und lime was precious. Morgan, cool, bravo and prompt, soon decided. Whil ■ he was in the act of concealing her under the door, a mother’s feel ings (.vercume her—she a rose,seized the infant,but was atratd thul its cries would betray its place of concealment. Mho hesitated—gazed silently up- on it—a momentary .struggle between duty and uHeeliun took place. She once more pressed her child to her bosom, and again and again kissed it with impasiionatc tenderness. The infant, al armed at the prolusion ol tears (hut loll upon its cheeks, looked up in its mother’s face, threw its little arms irouml her neck, and wept aloud. “In the name of heaven, Eliza, release the child or bo lost,” said the distracted husband in a amt oj jpj- ntay r t'dulfup his gun, knife and hatchet, ran tip the ladder that led to the chamber, and drew it ifter him. in a moment the door was hurst open and the savages entered. ily this time Morgan had secured his child in a hug and lashed it to his hack, ami then throw ing on some clapboards from the cabin’s roof, he resolutely leaped to the ground. He was assail ed by two Indians. As the first approached, he knocked him down with the hull end of his gun The other advanced with upliltod tomahawk Morgan let fall Ins gun and closed in. Tho savage made a blow, missed, but severed the cord that hound the infant to his back, and it fell. The contest over the child nmv became warm and fierce, and was carried on with knives only. The robust and athletic -Morgan ut length got tho ascendency j both wore badly cut, and bled freely, hut (ho Maim of (lit* white man were belter and deeper, and the savage loll to theoarih Morgan hastily took up his child and hurried ofl*. The Indians in the house, basely engaged in drinking and plundering, w- to nut apprised of the contest in tho yard until the one that had boon knocked down guvo sign* of returning It to and called ttilMi to the scene of uction. Morgan was discovered, immediately pursued und a dog put upon Ins trail. Operated upon by all tho feelings of a husband an I a falter, he moved w'Hji nil tho speed of a hunted slug, and Horn outstripped tho Indians, but the dog kept in close pursuit. Finding it impossible to outrun or elude tho cunning uuimal, trained to hunts of tins kind, he halted und waited till it came within a few yards of him, fired and brought him to tho ground. In a short time ho reached the house of Ids brother, who resided near ilryaiit’a Station, at Lexington, whe:o he lelt the child, and the two brothers left lor the dwelling. As they approach ed, light broke upon Ins view—his steps quick ened. Ins fears increased, and the most ugonizisg apprehensions crowded upon his mind. Emerg ing |Vutn the cane brake, he beheld his house in flumes and utmost burnt to the ground: “My wife!" he exclaimed, us he pressed one hand to his forehead and grasped the ibnce with the other, to support his tottering frame. He gazed on tho ruin und desolation be tore him, and advanced a few puce*, and fell exhausted to tho earth. Morning eatne, and the lutninaty of heaven arose, and still luund him seated near the expir ing embers. In his right hand he held a small stick, with which ho whs tracing the name of •Eliza’ on the ground, and his lelt bund lay oil his favorilo dog by his side. Looking first on the mins, and thou on his muster w ith evident signs of grief, Morgan arose. The two brothers now made search, and found sumo bom's burned to ashes, which they gathered and silently confined to the mother earth, beneath the high spreading branches of u venerable oak, consecrated by the purest uml holiest recollections. ►Several duys after this, Morgan was engaged inn desperate battle at the lower Hhic Licks.— The Italians cutne oft* victoriously, and tho sur viving whites retreated ucro-s the Licking, par ti by the enemy lor a distance of six and thirty his face, and in silent agony awaited his fate.— tow hoard a rustling in the bushes; stops approaching, a cold chill ran over him. Imagin ation creative, busy imagination, was actively employed—death, the most horrible, awaited him ; his limbs would, in all probability, be torn from him and he devoured alive. lie felt a touch ; the vital spark was almost extinguished. Another touch more violent than the first—and ho was turned over. The cold sweat ran down in lorronts—his hands were violently forced from his face. The moon passed from under a cloud—a faint ray beamed upon him ; his eyes involuntarily opened and bo beheld his wife who, in a scarcely audible voice, exclaimed,“My husband! my husband!” and fell upon his bosom. Morgan now learned from his wife, that aftor tho Indians entered the house, they found some spirits, of which they drank freely. An alterca tion took place; ono of them received a mortal stah and fell, and the blood ran tluough the floor on her. Believing it to be the blood of her hus band, she s rickctl aloud and thus betrayed the place of her concealment. She w'«.s immediately taken and bound. The party setting fir-* to her house, proceeded toBry- a"t's Station. On the day of the battle of tho Blue Licks, a horse with a saddle and bridle rush 'd by her, which sho knew to be her husband's. During the action, the prisoners were left un guarded—made their escape, and lay concealed beneath some bushes near the bank of tho river. After the Indians had returned from the pursuit, and left the battle ground, she, with aomo other persons, who had escaped with her, determined to make search lor their friends, and if on the field, and living, to snve them if possible from the beasts ol prey. After searching for some lime, and almost despairing of success, she fortunately discovered him. Tho party of Col. Logan found Morgan and his wife, and restored them to their friends, their infant, and their home. The Troasuro Trovo. ItY LEIGII HUNT. When Alexander of Maeedon was seeking realms to conquer, ho met with a people who lived in a very remote and obscure corner, who had never heard of war or cgnqueroip. and .wlm. no-* j’iiey met tin) Macedonian King, and conducted him to the dwelling of their ruler, who receivod him hospitably, and set before him, as a feast, dates, figs, atuf other fruits, made of gold. “What! do you eat gold hero?” asked Alex- under. " No; but I imaginod thou hadst food enough to eat iu thine own country, and that it was a de sire of gold lh.it led thee forth from it. Why, therefore hast thou come to us from so far try 7” “ It whs not for your gold I came, replied Al exander; “ but 1 desired to learn your customs.” “ Even »-»; then abide among us as I mg as thou wilt.” While the ruler und the Grecian wore convers ing, two men ol tho tribe came io, to appeal to tho ruler’s judgment. 'The complainant spoke : *• | floij"Tit a piece of ground Irom this man, and when I was digging it I found a treasure. The treasure is not mine, for I purchased only the ground— 1 never included in the purchaso any hidden treasure*, but this man, who sold mo * land, refuses to receive the treasure from ntc. The defendant now replied : “ 1 urn as conscientious as my neighbor. 1 sold him tho ground, und everything that might bo it; thereloro, the treasure is justly his, and I cu not take it." ruler took time to milo :d the i Morgu pruring < among the last who cross- *r, and was in the rear until the hill tided. As he beheld the Indians reap- i the ridge, he felt und saw his wrongs, ol looted tho lovely object of his affections, lie urged his horse und pre-sed to the front.— While in the act ol leaping Irom Inn saddle, he received a rifle hall in his thigh,and fell; un In dian sprang upon him, seized him by the hair and applied the scalping klilo. At this moment, Mor gan cast up his eyes und recognized the handker chief thut bound the head of the savage, and clearly, and then asked •Hast tho ton ?” imiorstand the case t of the parlies: “ 1 have. Ho inquired of the other: *• Hast thou a daughter 7” “feu then, the son shall marry tho daughter and the young couple shall have tho treasuro a a wedding portion.” Alexander betrayed sumo emotion “Is not iny judgment just 7” inquired thornier. “ Perfectly just,” returned Alexander “ ! ’ surprises me.” “ I low, then, would the thy country 7” “Toown the trull.,” said Alexander, “ both tho ui would have been taken iu custody, and tho treasure seized for the king.” “For the king! Haiti tho rutor, full of aston ishment; “dues tho sun shine in that land 7” “Surely.” “ Does tho rain fall 7 ) have been decided “Of course. « Wonderful! but are there gonllo, grazing an imals there 7” “ There arc, and of many kinds. “Then,” said tho ruler, “it is for tlm Bake of those innocent animals that the all-merciful Cre ator permits the sun to shine, und the ruin to fall up.m your land; yt oesarvo it not.” A Quoor Story. A foreign correspondent of the Peabody's Chron icle, N. York,{gives ur account of results from a broken pane of glass ii i singular Paris, " The Flag of our Union.” Ono thing has been established by Captain Schuyler Hamilton's recent investigations respect ing the national flag, namely* that it moans, and was intended to mean, Unioh ! It grow otrtof the Union Jack. Its star of stars symbolizes union. La thirteen Btripca aro tho record of the union. From ten thousand flag-staffs and maaPhaoda it is over keeping alive the spirit of uhion. Captain Hamilton’s work enables us to compile its brief history. On tho seventeenth of January, 1776, the cap* tain of an English passport, thou lying in tho por- of Boston, wroto homo to his owners: “I can see the rebels’ camp very plain, whoso colors, a little while ngo, were entirely red ; but on tho receipt ted the Union Flag, which is here supposed to in timate tho union of the provinces.” Tho captain could not, probably discern the devices upon the flag, but he noted the change of color, from royal reel to union blue. A variety of flags were used by thtt continentals in the early months of the revolutionary struggle. At the taking of Fort Johnson, September 13tli, 1775,a peculiar flag was employed, which Holmes, in his Annals, refers to thus:—“A flag being thought necessary for the purpose of signals, Colonel Mooltries, who was requested by the Council of Safety io procure one, had a large bluo flag made, with a crescent in one corner, to be in uniform with the troops. This was the first American flag (adds Holmes) displayed in South Carolina.” The crescent, bo it observed, is an emblem of sovereignty. On the twentieth of Oc tober, in the samo year, Colonel John Reed wroto this order to Colonel Glover and Stephen Maylan : “ Fioasc to fix upon sotno particular color fora flag and a signal by which our vessels may know one another. What do yon think of a flag with a white ground—a tree in the middle—the motto, ‘Appeal to Heaven!’ This is the flag of our floating batteries.” February ninth, 1770, Colo- naval flag: “ A yellow field, with a lively repre sentation of a rattlesnake in tho middle, in the at** tltude to strike, and the words underneath, ‘ Don't tread on me!' ” Many other designs for flags were proposed, and several, as we have just ob served, were in use. It was not till June fourteenth, 1777, that Con gress passed the resolution which gave to the in fant nation a National Flag. The resolution was tho following words:—" Resolved, That tho flag of tho Thirteen United States, be thirteen stripes, alternate red and while, that tho Union bo thir teen stars, while in a bluo field, representing a new constellation.” This was the flag of tho lat ter triumphs of the revolution. It remainod unal tered till January thirteenth, 179-1, when the ad mission of two now Slates added two stars to tho “ constellation” and two stripos to the “ rainbow.” This was the flag ol 1812—tho flag of Lake Erie, New Orloans, and the Atlantic Ocean. In 1818 tho following resolutions wore adopted by Con gress :—“ That from and after tho fourth day of July next, tho flag of the United States be thirteen horizontal strines. b94.««vL^.W*wua) , that on tho admission of a new fetato into tho Un ion, one star ho added to the union of the flag.”-—• This charge was suggested by tho Hon.

In tho early settlement of that porliouof Geor gia, situated between the Broad und Savannah River tho inhabitants suffered much from tho In dians. Tho murderous tomahawk spared neither mpn. women, or children. In 17— there lived upon the banks of Coody’s creek, in tho flat woods, iu what is now called Elbe says: A question now universally asked iu every so ciety in Paris is—“ Have you seen the broken window?” This refers to an accident of a vory extraordinary nature, which occurred in tho Rue do la Bourse. M. Moliero, a bootmaker in that street, has hud fortune “ thrust upon him” by cart knocking against his shop window, llathor lulu at night, u restive horse hacked a cart against tho iron stumors cf the shup-front, with such force that ti pane of plate glass immediately behind the part struck was erucked into thousands of splin* bert county. Mr. Richard Tyner, a pjor, though respectable man. During his absence one day a party of savages attacked his house. Thoy immediately killed Mra.Tynor. They then seized the youngest child, and dashed out its brains against a tree. Another child they scalped, and left it lor dead. A little boy, tho sou of Mr. Tyner named Noah, amidst tho confusion oscupcd tho notice of the Indians, and crept into a hollow tree, which lor many years afterwards was known by the name of Noah's Ark. An ol der sun of Mr. Tyner fled to tho Savannah River, and was pursued by sumo of the Indian! but ho cifucled his escape. Mary and Turner the daugh ters of Mr. Tyner the Indiana carried off to tho Coweta Towns. There they rotnainod for aevoral years, when un Indian trader named, I think, John Manack, purchased Mary, who returned with him to the county of Elbert, and bec&mo Ins wife. When ho returned to tho Indian Na tion he offered to purchaso Tamer, but the Indi ans refused to sell her. Tho main employment of Tamer was to bring wood. Upon a certain occasion an old Indian woman informed her, tliat her captors, suspecting tliat sho was trying to es cape, had resolved to burn her alivo.

During the day she secreted herself amidst tho thick swamps of tho river, and at night pursuod her course. She finally reached Apalachicola Bay, embarked on board of a vessel and arrived in Savannah.

Releasing himself from llm savage, Morgan crawled under u small oak, on an elevated piece of ground, a short dis tance from him ; the scene of action shifted, und bo remained undiscovered and iiiisculprd, an anx- ious spectator ol the battle. It was now midnight. The savage band had, after taking ail the sea I pa they could find, left tho battle ground. Morgan was seated til the fool ot the oak; us trunk supported Ins bead. Tho ragged and uneven ground that surrounded him was covered with the slain; tho once white and projecting rocks, bleached by the rain and sun of centuries, were crimsoned with blood, that hud warmed the heart and animated the bosom of the sold or. Tho pale glimmering of the moon occa sionally threw a hunt light upon tho mangled bodies of the dead; then a passing cloud envel oped all iu darkness and gave additional terror to the feeble cries of a few still lingering in tho last agonies of protracted death, rendered doubly ap- paling by ti.e hoarse growl of the bear, the loud howl of the wolf, and the sin ill und varied notes of the wildcat and panther, feeding on the dead and dying. Morgan beheld the scene with heart rending sensat'ons and looked foiwa r d with the apathy of despair to his own end. A large ferocious looking bear,co/ered all with blood, now approached him ; he throw hint- self on the ground, silently commended his soul to Heaven, and, iu breathless anxiety, awaited his l.»te. Tho satiated animal slowly passed without noticing him. Morgan raised Ins head and was ibout to offer liis (banka for his unexpected pre servation, when the cry of a pack of wolves opened upon and awakened him to a sense of dan ger. He placed bis hands over his eyes, fell oil Singular Phenomenon. Some monthujago Mr. Nicholas Flint, of Great Valley, iu digging a well, after excavating to tho depth of about forty feet, and finding no water, ho determined to dig no deeper, aa the space had al ready become so small that he was afraid, should he sink it deeper, that the aides would fall in if he attempted to stone it up. He accordingly aban doned it, throwing planks across the mouth to pre vent accident, intending to fill it up again when he had leisure. Ono day ho heard a singular noise, which seemed to proceed from the well, and on going to it, ho tltsrovercd that it waa caused by a heavy draft of air, forcing itself up from the wall. This continued for some days, when the current of air became roversed, and there was a strong dralt downwards, so much so (bat light substances brought near the crevices in tho plunks, were instantly drawn in. IIo then procured a piece of pump log about two foot long, with an aperture of two inches In diatnewr, and sible for tho trespass upon his properly; but this window was cracked in such a maimer as no window over was before, and M. Moliero observed that every passer by stopped to look at it, and ex claimed, “ llow curious!” “ How extraordinary.” During the whole day a crowd was collected in front of tho bouse. It then occurred to M. Moliero that since his broken window appeared to possess such attractions for the public, it might answer his purpose to make tho public pay lor tho grati fication of their curiosity. Accordingly lio put up fits outside shutter and charged one franc tier lieud for admission to the exhibition, and in a few hours tho fame of it spread far and wido. Not a single particle of tho glass had fallen out, hot the cracks radiating from the centre with a wonderful regularity aro so numerous that the pane presents the appearance of a gigantic cobweb, fioon from the interior of a shop by gas light, it presents the prismatic colors with extraordinary brilliancy, and may be compared Io a peacock’s tail. A specula tor bus offered llio enormous sum of lUOOf. for the purchaso of the fragile property, and tho offer has been refused. M. Moliere calculates that ho shall receive that sum from Fartsians alone, and after wards the p.no may bo removed in its Iron frame, and carried round the provinces. This event has made more sensation than any other tliat has oc curred in t’uris since New Year’s day. The ex^ citeuionl is on the increase. Crowds, too poor tc pay the admission money, stand about tho house to talk over the story, and mathematical students in ilieQuartier Latin aro working problems, in tho coutidenl hope of finding out how to crack another winduw in the same way -1 don't believe it i» any u«e to vuccinilo for .mail po*,’ mid a back wood.
