MACON. itttOKQ 1A: MONDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 29. 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.

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.
