TOordebTheboineT”
BY EDWARDS ELLIS.
After the close of the Revolutionary war
the tide of emigration commenced pouring
into the Great Northwest, with unexampled
rapidity. Kentucky, as it is known, was,
for many years the dividing ground between
civilization and barbarism. Even by the
savages it was considered neutral territory
Itelonging to no one, and upon which all
tresspassed with the same peril.
“ But westward the star of empire” ever
takes its w a y ; and even the awful gloom
that hung around the Dark and Bloody
Ground, could stay it but a season. First
the great Daniel Boone plunged into its
perilous canebrakes, and then others fol
low . until in time it became one of the
proudest States of our glorious confedera
cy-
At the time of which we write, there
were two passes to Kentucky and the ad
joining country, viz: the Ohio River and
Boone’s Trace—the latter simply a “ blazed
palh,” leading from South Kentucky to
North Caro : ina. Most of the emigrants
preferred to pass in Hat-boats down the riv
er, at the risk of beingdecoyed ashore, bold,
ly attacked by an overwhelming force, or
outwitted by the consummate cunning of
their foes.
But there were a few who took Boone’s
Trace, and followed it clear through the
wilderneffl swarming with hordes of sava
ges. Those who had the temerity to attempt
this, generally formed themselves into bands
numbering at least twenty men, who were
armed to the teeth, and ever on the alert.
Besides this they generally had among them
several scouts or rangers, whose whole du
ty was to guide and to warn them of any
ambush or scheme of the Indians. Those
were the days when such men as Kenton
Brady, McArthur McCleland, O’Bannion,
White, and a host of other border heroes,
lived and acted, and each of whose lives
would make a volume more wonderful than
the history of the knights and gallants of
the olden time.
One pleasant afternoon, in the autumn
of 1794. a company, numbering some thir
ty men, with about the same number of wo
men and children, were making their way
over this “Trace.” They were proceed
ing leisurely along, their teams walking
slowly and lazily forward and the men chat
ting and relating stories to while away the
monotony of the Ung and dreary march.
Most of the women were in the large, cov
ered wagons with their children, although
now and then several might be seen stretch
ing their limbs for a few minutes, by walk
ing beside their wagons. Two-thirds of
the men were mounted on horseback, while
the others trudged merrily on foot.
It was a picturesque sight, —the plodding,
meek-eyed oxen, dragging the lumbering
baggage-wagciis, in which the rosy face of
more than one happy youngster could be
seen ; the mounted pioneers, with their
rifles slung over their shoulders, so as to be
ready at a moment’s warning,—and the
reckless drivers, plunging fearlessly ahead
as though no thought ot danger had ever
entered their heads.
It is needless to say that all w-ere fully
armed, —and the scouts were out —scouts
in front, in the rear, and on either side, who
were ranging the forest with such caution
and suspicion that hardly the full of a leaf
escaped their vision.
In the veiy hindmost wagon was a Mrs.
Childs and her daughter Sarah. The lat
ter wasa brave, joyous hearted girl some
fifteen or sixteen years of age, upon whom
it was impossible to make the least impres
s:on of the peril the company daily under
went. I'he father was walking upon one
side of the wagon, chatting with i compan
ion, casting his eyes now and then ahead,
as if to note the progress of the train. The
mother had fallen into a doze unmindful of
the capers of her child, who for the last
hour or so had betray ed an unusual restles
ness.
As soon as the mother was fairly uncon
scious, the girl arose to her feet, peered
cautiously out, and then, with a light bound
sprang out of the rear of the wagon and se
creted herselfin the wood.
Her intention in doing this was perfectly
innocent. Through the afternoon she had
noticed a peculiar looking berry growing
abundantly in the wood, and had petitioned
her father that she might be allowed to pick
a few. B> ing refused the wilful little thing
determined that she would do it atall hazards
She could see no reason why he should de
ny such a simple request. The Indians
had not disturbed them as yet, and she
couldn’t believe they would at aE. She had
no personal fear for herself.
As soon as the train had passed a few
rods farther, she sprang up and started in
quest of the coveted berries. She was oblig
ed to go quite a distance before finding
them ; but in a short time she stumbled up
on a creek, the margin of which bounded
w ith them and she lost no time in filling up
her apron.
It was while she was gathering them,
that a singular terror all at once look pos
session of her. It seemed as though some
horrid monster was approaching her and she
had no power to flee or resist him. Faint
and trembling she crouched to the earth,
and waited for it to approach or pass by.
A moment later, and the bushes upon the
opposite side ot the creek parted and through
the intricacies before her, she discovered
the forms of several Indians, apparently in j
consultation. For a moment she was too
terrified to notice their actions, but, in a
short time, she recovered herself possession
and from her hiding place noticed every
movement. What was her horror to dis- i
cern the dead body of one of their scouts,
doubled upon the ground, a short distance
from them ! Instantly the whole truth flash
ed across her tnind..These Indians had sue- I
ceeded in killing him without alarming the
others, and were at that moment planning
an attack upon the emigrant train. She
. felt certain that it had halted at the cross-
> ing of the stream before her, and would,
i probably, encamp for the night. The guard
' being slain, an attack could be made with
out exciting suspicion upon the part of the
travelers before it was too late to offer suc
' , cessful resistance.
! The brave girl reflected for a moment.
■ Her heart sickened at the thought of the
: awful massacre which threatened her friend
; and all fear of personal danger was lost in
- the one great fear of them. , How to act, she
J could not determine at once. She thought
J of rising to her feet, and rushing screaming
s down stream, with the absolute certainty of
■ being shot herself; but this would only
> hasten the assault, without giving due war.
I ning. No ; whatever was done, must be
in such a manner that the suspicions of the
; emigrants would be aroused before the In
, dians were aware of it.
Her situation at present was such that
' t she could do nothing without attracting at
tention from the Indians opposite, who were
still in earnest consultation. Accordingly
she worked her way caustiously backwards
until there were enough bushes between
herself and them to screen her movements.
; Then she stealthily crept some twenty yards
down the stream, and once more approach
ed thd margin. Here she reached down
and disturbed lhe water in the hope of mak
ing its muddy appearance attract the alten
tention of her friends. Fearing, however
io trust to this alone, she made her way
back into the wood, and commenced ap
proaching the encampment.
But she had gone but a short distance
when she was made aware that, under the
present circumstances, such anexploit was
utterly impossible. The Indians were all
around hea, and hardly a movement could
be made without rendering her discovery
unavoidable. The suppressed signals of
their scouts reached her ears constantly.
Still unable to remain in one position she
continued creeping forward upon her hands
and knees, gradually lessening the distance
between herself and her friends, until fright
ened at her own temerity, she suddenly
halted. As she did so, something cold touch
ed her hand, and upon looking at it, she
discovered that it was stained with blood.
The grass was trampled down, and the bush
es broken and dripping with blood, as though
some death struggle had taken place. Upon
looking further, she saw a rifle lying upon
the ground, and upon examination, discov
ered to her surprise that it was still loaded.
She concluded that it was here their scout
had been attacked and slain, though it was
a mystery how his body came to be upon
the opposite side.
Al first she laid the rifle down again, in
tending to leave it, but upon second thought
she took it and secreted herself in the bush
es. Just then she heard a footstep, and
looking up, discovered a crouching Shaw
nee Indian, who was gazing upon her in
unbounded surprise. Hardly knowing what
she did, she raised her rifle, discharged it,
and shot him through the breast. Then
without waiting to see whether he was slain
she bounded to her feet and fled like a
deer.
A shot from the outlying scouts, was
the signal of danger to the emigrants, and
upon hearing this, they instantly formed
themselves in a position to repel assault, and
awaited anxiously for further demonstra
tions. The absence of th girl had been
noticed: the most painful apprehensions
were felt for her, and the shot almost ren
dered the parents frantic. But to their un
bounded joy the truant daughter suddenly
appeared among them, and related what had
occurred. The Indians, finding their pres
ence discovered, and lhe emigrants so well
prepared, made no attack, although their
scouts followed them all of the next day,
and our friends finally reached their desti
nation without any further molestation.
The heroine of our little sketch is still
living at Red Bank, New Jersey ; and,
although an aged woman, this incident in
her life is still well remembered. She em
igrated from the West some years since,
but while there, Sarah W. Childs was well
known along the frontier as one of its many
heroine.
HOYT’S SUPERPHOSPHATE.
Oxford, GA., Sept. 18, 1860
Messrs. Stovall, McLaughlin & Co:
Gentlemen : I see in The Field and Fire
side a report of Col. M. C. M. Hammond, of Ath
ens, of an experiment on wheat with Hoyt’s
and Rhodes’ fertilizers, showing that the fertili
zers acted fatal to the crop of wheat instead of
increasing its yield, with a remark from the Ed
itor, calculated to discourage planters who have
not tested those fertilizers, from purchasing. I
must think t icre is i t .era mistake in th haul
ing and thrashing of the wheat, or that some
portions of the different plots were much more
kiled out by the winter freezing than other por
tions ; hence it could not have been a fair ex
periment, and therefore ought not to have been
published.
It was the case last winter where the wheat
was most forward, and in the greatest growing
state at the time of the freeze, it was much the
worst killed out.
The fertilizers, (I have no doubt) having stim
ulated the land to bring forward the manured
plots more rapidly, I have no doubt but they
were more killed out, leaving but a very thin
stand, There must have been a very good stand
on the unmanured plot to produce 15 bushels
per acre, as that is a very good crop in this cli
mate on good unmanured land with a good stand
The wheat in this section that was sowed late,
having had but little sap in it at the time of the
great freeze, was but little killed by the freeze.
1 will give you my experiment with Hoyt’s
fertilizer with wheat About the 19th of Feb
ruary last, I had some poor land well broke, and
on the 20th of February I sowed it with spring
wheat, three pecks per acre, with about 300 lbs
of Hoyt’s feetilizer per acre, harrowing it in, ■
1■; vng a lane through the field about 20 fee 1
i wide which I did not manure. When I was i
having it cut, I showed Mr. Glenn, of this place
the land that was not manured, ahd we both a- I
greed that the wheat on each side of the unma- I
nured plot would double the unmanured plot, j
The stand of wheat was very good, aud all about I
the same.
1 have also tested Hoyt’s the present year,
I with cotton, and although the cotton is not
picked out, yet it is very plain to be seen that
Hoyt’s will make about three times as much
per acre as that which was not manured, the
land and cultivation equal. I also tested Sto
vall’s superphosphate of lime, which seems to be
equal to Hoyt's. His cotton phosphate not quite i
so good, yet it will double the unmanured plot. I
I will also give you the experiment of Isam
Weaver, of this county, as reliable as any man i
in the State, with Hoyt’s, on cotton this year.
He purchased, through me, one ton of Hoyt’s
in the spring, and selected a 30 acre field of very
poor land to make the experiment with. His
overseer and himself stated to me a few days
ago, that the ton was put on 10 acres of the
poorest part of the 30 acre field, and that it was
I all picked over a few days ago, and that there
was three times as much cotton picked from the
10 acres as was from the other 20 acres —the
fertilizer having had the effect of producing a ■
partial crop before the cotton was exhausted by '
the drought.
A Dumber of my friends wishes to know your
lowest cash price for Hoyt’s superphosphate by
the quantity.
Yours truly, D. Dicicson.
It gives us great pleasure to publish the above
instructive letter from so reliable a source.—
Hoyt’s superphosphate, unlike that of Rhodes’,
contains both ammonia and potash, which adapt
it better to the wants of wheat than the simple
superphosphate of lime. It also improves It for
corn and other cereals, and probably for cot
ton.
Commercial manure has, we believe, been
used on Senator Hammond’s plantation the pres
ent year, and we venture to say that the public
would be gratified and instructed to learn the
result produced, through The Field and Fire
side.
Douglas and Yancey in Nashville. —Judge
Ijouglas is announced to speak in this city at
U o’clock next Friday morning. Mr. Yancey,
on his route South, will speak here Friday
night. We anticipate on that occasion one of
t le largest assemblages ever in Nashville. The
d stinguished position which those gentlemen
occupy in the public estimation will draw an
immense crowd to hear them. Let the people
hear and judge for themselves. Mr. Yancty
was invited to i-peak here at the Mass Meetii g
on the 3d of November, but his engagements
in the Southern States prevented his accepting
the invitation. He is now filling some ap
pointments in Kentucky and he has consented
to stop on his way through and speak here Fri
day night.— Xashtille Union.
The quickest trip ever made between New
York and Albany has been performed by the
steamboat Daniel Drew. She did the distance,
which is one hundred and fifty-six miles, in
six hours and fifty minutes, one hour less than
any previous trip.
A new invention in telegraphing, by which
a speed of from eight to fifteen thousand words
per hour can be attained, has lately been at*
tained by Dr. Bradley of New York. It is'
however, a partial infringement on the Morse
patent.
The inhabitants of Paris are about to be
gratified with another magnificent promenade.
The Emperor has given orders for the con
struction of a road round Paris within the for
tifications. It will be twenty miles long and
one hundred and twenty feet wide. The foot
paths will bordered with trees.
In the parish register at Glomis there is the
following curious entry, dated 1676: “Nae

New Arrangement.
XXTITH the facilities and long experience we possess
VV in the Musical Business, we did not only select
the BEST
PIANOS,
as regards tone and durability, but have also effected
the most advantageous terms to our customers for the
supply of superior Instruments. We partly selected our
Pianos and partly had them made to order. We are now
receiving, without doubt, the best selection ever before
brought to Macon, consisting of
6 1-2, 7, and 7 1-4 Octaves
in plain an higdhly finished cases to suit every taste.—
These Instruments we are prepared to sell either for
Cash, on time, or monthly installments,
at the lowest Factory prices. The latter arrangement,
we think, will be accepted by many persons in want ot
first class Instruments, who are perhaps not willing to
pav the entire amount at once, and to whom it will be
easier to pay in monthly installments. Our object is to
assist such persons in procuring a first class Piano, for
whose superiority we will give a five year’s guarantee.—
We inten 1 to effect large sales, and are satisfied with
small profits.
Come and see our Stock to be convinced that we
ought and really have such instruments as we repre
sent them to be.
