HEMINISENCES OF EARLY

The crowd had■trntherud close up
together to hear the report of the
scouts, each oiie anxious to be as
Well posted as possible.
‘Well, my brave lads, if we qould
ambush them at the first branch we
would have iliem safe,’ said Ander
son, ‘hut I am afraid it will-break
our wind too much, anil make' our
nerves unsteady. Give me well
rested men for a steady light. ,
‘l'm iucl ned to think the liijuns
will leave tlie course they are now
pursuing, and strike for the swamp,
and cross lower down than usual, on
account of tlie loss danger of being
attacked,' observed one of the
scouts.
‘There is something in that; and
once across they will break into
small parties,’ observed W blfington.
‘Well, we'll light them to the best
advantage we can,’added the Brave ;
and concluded by directing Welling
ton to take two or three men and
push on till lie came, in sight of the
Indians, and then keep hid till he
could communicate with the main
bod- .
There was very little talk among
the settlers, hut they appoint'd per
fectly calm, cheerful, and collected.
Most, of them were too well accus
tomed to the dangers of frontier life
not to know that success, and even
their lives, often depended upon
their coolness, energy,; and self-pos
session. In half au hour they were
sure they would be itr deadly con
flict with their cunning, wily and,
merciless ii es, wild if not, as brave,
nor its good marksmen, wore bravo
enough to light hard; and with the
ill-gotten plunder as an ■incentive,
they would he difficult to defeat.

apparently re-arranging their packs
preparatory-to anew move. They
would probably strike.straight across
for the swamp.
Luckily, John, there is a slight
rise from the trail of dim path they
have been on, for nearly one hun
dred yards this way; tin: rise is
high enough to hide our men ; and
if we can creep to the top of it.
without being seen, will have thOm
not over eighty yards off, and dm
have a clear-first fire.’
‘That’s as good ;.-s wheat at Gal

son who have horses, tie them out
of sight, anti follow on quick.—
When we come to the range, don'r
fire till 1 give the signal, which vvili

a shout first. Fori want every man

them from .the clear blue vuult of
lieave».a,t high noon, with tlie sun
beaming; its heat uud refulgence up
on them, the. Indians could not have
been more astounded. It is impos
sible that they could have been more
wholly taken by surprise. For the
.first fyw moiueuts they appeared so
paralizediisto .be incapable of ac
tion ; but ou. recovering they
whooped,.shouted, threw their hands
and arms in tlie air, ran hither and
thither, gesticulating furiously, and
finally with their guns, -sought, the
protection .oLirees; that is as many
as could do so. Os those who were
shot, the spectacle that-presented it
self was sad and painful enough to
move tho hearts of the most abdu
rate. Some when'struck, wbuldre
main motionless a seconder two and
then fall back heavily to the ground ;
another would spring ‘high in the
air and come down with a heavy
squelch ; one set down composedly,
with his knees drawn up, and so
died ; another whirled himself round
rapidlystamping the ground with
his feet, throwing about his hands
and anus, aud singing or shouting
his death or war song; another fell
and rolling over and over as one
might roll at Jog, for seme half dozen
times, thou spasmodically spring
ing in tlie air three or four feet
high, fell motionless to the ground.
One poor tortured creature stint
ed up the hill, or rise behind
which the whites were lying,
afc.ii full run, his pack tied on, aud
went at least half the distance; then
suddenly turning ran .at the same
speed down again, and on reaching
iii.s companions fell dead’ without a ;
.struggle !
(hie of the three, men on the right
.under .Vv olfington, whose gun whs
loaded, was .about’ shooting the sal
age as he came up the hill, but the
latter prevented him by saying:
‘Don’t throw your charge away,
tbe skunk is already, dead.’ If nor
actually so at that instant, he was
past all consciousness or power 61
doing barm.
There ly’as now a lull of several
miiiht.es from active hostilities op
both sides; while the Indians who
Were bnclly wounded were trying to
get to some place of greater safety.
Six of the savages lay dead on the
ground, and several seriously woun
ded. The whites had not yet shown
themselves in a manner to be fired
upon. They could easily have shot
the wounded Indians as they crawl
ed oil; hnt it appeared so much like
cold-blooded butchery, that even
these men’s humanity, notwith
standing their Subtle enemies’ gen
eral bad taith, revolted at it. Re
sides the marauders had refrained
from burning, or murdering and
scalping. But it was necessary to
teach these restless savages-a severe
lesson whenever opportunity gave a
chance; and they deserved it,—
They must bo made to live in peace
or be driven kill', if nothing worse. “
•Accordingly, Anderson gave the
word to flank out oh both ends of
the line, still keeping as much as
possible Tinker cover of the rising
ground! They now considerabl
outnumbered, their red enemies, and
it woTfld'immediately' be evident to
ilie litter th ,t they were completely
at the mercy, of the whites. Once
or twice while tho flanking was go
nig on a chance was given the In
dians to fir? u'pon tlie Whites, ' but
not a gun was raised, They were
paralized—in a few moments most
of them would be exposed to a mur
derous Tire.; for the whites’fanned a
wide circle as they spread out, and
already sdVeral Indians near their
centre, xVcrp'Tully exposed* They
were perfectly helpless. Anderson
was reluctant to give the signal to
bCgin the slaif<jliter. He preferred,
if possible, to bring these savages to
a sense of gratftiide.' as it was hoped
a lasting pcfi'db would soon be ,ina.de,
with them. .

was evidently a white man.

yourself, I am not sure but we should

‘I think I may .claim the same

‘Bowles, I am very certain we:

‘I gave ti em strict orders on th;U

• Thus ended the confine ice—and
immediate preparations were mudei
io carry out the stipulations.- A
sbgliL pit was dug by the -survivors
ol the raid, ihe dead Indians set in
it facing (Bacji, with their blankets
around iliem,theii t miliaxvk, scalp

The hole was then coveted with
bushes, straw and dirt till a cons id
arable mound was raised over. .all.
This mound was plainly visible nil.
some few years ago, wben it was
opened, out of curiosity, by M .

the county,, who then owned the

w.i or three pipes—all vpr.y much,
decayed, valueless, only ib.it ibev

age. The..mound was on ibe.rigln
hand side of the. river road, as, you.
come from Lourivi l: : by . (Jowart’s

that Town. ■
The fortunate lerminaiion of the <
hosiile incursion of the Indians, .for'
the whites, was a most deplorable
affair lor the warlike,, resiless, anrl
tlieiying dispnsitiuu .of diepavages.
No plunder, no burning, no: sculos,
Boton the ptfier hand, the loss of six
of their Braves,, and tbe wounding
of double as many more. It there is
o_ne thing more disagreeable lo the

the Indian than another—-that..more

to be compelled to surrender any
