Murder of Miss McCrea.
In General Fraser’s Division was a young of
ficer, Lieutenant David Jones, an American Loy
alist. His family bad their home in the vicinity
of Fort Edw ard, before the Revolution. A mutual
attachment had taken place between the youth
and a beautiful girl. Jane Me. Crea. She was the
daughter of a Scotisli Presbyterian clergyman of
the Jerseys, some dine deceased, and resided with
her brother on the banks of the Hudson, a few
nriles below Fort Edward.
The lovers were engaged to be married, when
the breaking out of the war severed families and
disturbed all the relations of life. The Joneses
of w hich is of necessity more or less uncertain,
and liable to be extinguished by striking the water
—an incident of constant occurrence in all naval
combats.
From the fact of this new projectile uniformly
striking upon its apex, the time fuze may be sub
stituted by a percussion fuze, that cannot be ex-
tinguiseed by water, while it w ill explode, by im
pact w ith any solid body, as inevitably as a cap
upon the best percussion lock. It will in this
way. therefore, be as easy to lodge and explode a
shell in tlie side of a ship as to strike it with a
solid shot, while the etfezt of one shell, thus ex
ploded, may beas disastrious as a whole broadside of
the latter.
Splinters usually plug the apertures made by
solid shot, however large; but the consequence of
a shell exploding in the Lull of a ship would be
the tearing and bursting effects of a mine, and oue

The attachment between tbe lovers continued,
aud it is probable that a correspondence w as k< pt
np between them. Lieutenant Jones was no\V in
Fogus camp, in his old neighborhood. Miss
McCrea was on a visit to a widow lady, Mrs.
O'Neil, residing at Fort Edward. The approach
of Bnrgoyne’s army had spread an alarm through
the country; the inhabitants were flying from their
hemes. 'J he biother of Miss McCrea determined
to remove to Albany, and sent for his sister to re
turn home and make ready to accompany him.
She hesitated to obey. He sent a more urgent
message, representing the danger of lingering near
the Fort, which must inevitably fall into the
hands of the enemy. Still she lingered. The lady
with whom she was a guest was a loyalist, a friend
of General Fraser; her roof would be respected.
Even should Fort Edward be captured, w hat had
Jane to Car/ Her lover was in the British camp,
the capture of the Fort would re-unite them.
Her brother’s messages now become preempto-
ry. She prepared, reluctantly, to obey, and was
to embark in a large batteau, which was to con
vey several families down the river. The very
morning when the embarkation was to take place,
the neighborhood was a scene of terror. A ma
rauding party of Indians, sent out by Bnrgovne
to annoy Gen. Schuyler, weie liarrassiBg the coun
try. Several of them burst into the house ot Mrs.
O’Neil, sacked and plundered it, and carried oft
lie-l and Miss M’Crea prisoners. In her fright, the
latter promised the savages a large reward if they
would spare her life and take her in safety to the
British camp. It was a fatal promise. Halting
at a spring, a quarrel arose among the savages
inflamed most probably with drink, as to whose
prize she was, and who was entitled to the rew ard
The dispute became furious, and one in a parox
ysm of rage, killed ber on the spot. He complet
ed tbe savage act by bearing off her scalp as a
trophy.
General Burgnyne was struck with horror when
he beard of this bloody deed. What at first
brightened his atrocity of it was a report that the
Indians had been sent by Lieutenant Jones vo
bring Miss M’Crea to the camp This he posi
tively denied, and liis denial was believed. Bur-
goyne summoned a council of tlie Indian chiefs, in
which he insisted that the murderer of Miss
M’Crea should be given up to receive the reward
ol his crime. The demand produced a violent
agitation. The culprit was a great warrior, a
chief, and tbe “w ild honor ’ of bis brother schemes
was roused in his behalf. St. Luc took Burgoyne
aside and entreated him not to push the matter to
extremities, assuring him that from what was
passing among the chiefs, he was sure they and
their w arriors would all abandon the army should
the delinquent be executed. The British officers
also interfered, n presenting the danger that might
a «ruo should tlie indians return through Canada,
with their savage, resentments awakened, or what
was worse, should they go over to the Americans.
Burgoyne was thus reluctantly brought to spare
the offender, but henceforth made it a rule-that no
party of Indians should be permitted to go
f 'rth on a foray unless under tbe conduct ot a
British officr, or some other competent person,
who should be responsible for their behavior.
The mischief to tbe British cause, however, had
been effected. The murder of Miss M’Crea re-
souded throughout the land, counteracting all
the benenefifs anticipated from the terrorsof Indian
hostilities. Those people of tbe frontiers who had
hitherto remained quiet, now flew to arms to de
fond theis familos and fireside. In their exaspera
tion they locked beyond the savages to their em-
plo#rs. They abhorred an army, which, profess-
wliicli professing to be civilized, cculd league it
self with snchbarbarians; and they execrated a
Government, w hich pretend ing to reclaim them
as subjects, sould let loose such fiends to desolate
t'loir homes.
The blood of this unfortunate girl, therefore,
was not shed in vain. Armies sprang up from it.
Her name passed as a note of alarm, along the
banks of the Hudson; it was a rallying word
among the Geen Mountains of Vermont, aud
brought down all their hardy yoemanry.—\_Iremg's

RiflcJ Cannon a( Las!.
Most of your readers are doubtless aware that
for more than a century all tlie great military pow
ers of the world have made sedulous effort to ren
der tint rifle principle available for ordnance.—
Hitherto the attempt has been rewarded w ith no
valuable results, though neither time, skill, nor
money has been spared to secure an object of so
much importance in the great game of war, in
w hich nations arc occasionally compelled to en
gage.
The great Lancaster gun, of Sebastopol noto
riety, w Inch has consumed so much of English
skill and English treasure, was itself but an abor
tive scheme for securing the effects of rifle grooves,
by substituting therefor a new form in tlie bore
of tlie cannon. Our own country first illustrat
ed the great efficiency of the common rifle as a
war weapon. It appears to have been also re
served tor us to furnish the first practical solu
tion of the applicability of the rifle principle to
camion.
There is every reason to believe that the prob
lem has at length been solved by a citizen of
Alabama, who a few months ago presented, for the
consideration oCthe War Department a form of
projectile for a rifled cannon of his invention,
which I ave since been twice submitted, with
good results, to the test of actual experiment.—
These experiments were made with a rifled
twenty four pounder, conducted by experinc-
ed and competent officets of tbe United States
army.
Tlie results were such as to secure tlie confi
dence of the War Department, aud induce an ar
rangement for a third and more extended trial of
the new projectile, with a view to its adoption by
the government it finally as satisfactory as antici
pated.
These facts are sufficient to justify all that we
-have predicated of them; but we may state, as an
additional endorsement, that the practical and
skillful proprietors of the West Point foundry,
(among whom is Captain K. P. Parrott, late of
the United States army,) have purchased one-
fourlh interest in the invention for this country
alone, at tlie late of fifty thousand dollars.
Arrangements have also been instituted for
bringing tuis invention to the notice of European
powers, and securing fur tlie inventor the profits
of its discovery.
The projectile in question is of the elongated
form now so much in vogue, and by a simple
yet ingenious combination of cast and wrought
iron secures all the advantages of the Minnie
bail.
Being entirely of iron, it has a decided superior
ity in an economical point ot view over the vari
ous formes of leaded cannon-balls that have been
proposed; while it possesses the important advant
age of being used red hot w hen desired—a mode
of attack particularly formidable to shipping. The
only change neeessry to adapt it to the ordinaay
toriu of cannon is the cutting of two or iluce
grooves in the gun—an operation of but little cost
or difficulty
An increase of range and accuracy in the fire of
artillery are two of the important results that will
inure from this invention; and as artillery is the
gieat arm by which the fate of modern battles,
whether ou sea or land, is mainly decided, the im
portance of such results may be readily estimat
ed.
We may mention, as a third and still more im
portant gain the increased efficiency that will be
secured for the terrible system ot direct shell-fir
ing, especially against ships—a system that will
long finder Sinope a dark day in the Turkish cal
endar, aud which has immortalized the name of
Paixlian, while it should, in justice, have brought
fame to an American officer of artillery; for,
coupled with increase of range and precision in
direct shell-tiring, as distinguished from the ver
tical tire of boonibs from mortars, this invention
will, in such cases, enable our artillery officers to
dispense with the ordinary time fuze, the burning
ly armed.
We think we recognize in this improvement of
the rifled cannon an expedient for promptly ar.d
economically bringing np our navy to something
like an equal footing with any European marine.
For this, and other obvious reasons, we hail this
invention as another and valuable addition to the
list of “peacemakers,” that will eventually render
war too terrible and too expensive a game to be
played at, except iii self-defence, by the most bel-
lieuse aud w ealthy of the nations.
Ancient Ruins in Texas.
The Washington American has received inform
ation of some ancient ruins; which, if correct, must
possess great interest for our readers, as furnish
ing another link in the chain of evidence showing
that this continent was inhabited years ago by a
highly civilized race of men. The fact that this
discovery has, as is reported, been made almost in
our neighborhood, m w hat is called Big Thicket,
on the San Jacinto, will probably cause some of
our readers to !>p incredulous. The discovery is
said to have been made by a Mr. Smith, in com
pany with two or three othei men, while examin
ing a tract of land belonging toa Mr. Johnson,
about tw enty miles distant from Montgomery.—
The ruins described were found on Mr. Johnson’s
land. The fragments show tliat they are the re
mains of an edifice of remark able and magnificent
architecture, constructed of material nowhere to be
found in this country. We copy the description,
as follows:
The only portion of this gigantic structure
which remains whole, is a marble column, fluted
and surmounted by a capitol, upon which is carv
ed on one side a sheaf of wheat, and on the oilier
something which was supposed to be a w aterfall,
but somewhat defaced; on the other two sides is a
plain engraving of evergreen. A portion of an
other column is also there, about the same size.—
The column that remains whole is about sixteen feet
in length. The foundation of the edifice covered
an area of three hundred and ten by two hundred
and sixty feet. There appeared to be four main
entrances, aud Mr. Smith believes, though it is not
certain, that there were on each side of the build
ing a portico fronting about one third of the dis
tance. There are a great many fragments of fine
workmanship, but the gentlemen accompanying
Mr. Smith had not time to place them together
to ascertain to w hat part of the building they be
longed.
There were several marble arches, nearly whole,
which they supposed to have beeen over the doors
and windows. There are also in preservation two
or three marble slabs; which are supposed to have
belonged to a flight of stairs. The stone of which
the edifice was built is a grey limestone, presenting
a beautifully polished surface, the most of which
was buried, as also was most of the columns discov
ered. Mr. Smith has no doubt that w onderful and
valuable discoveries may be made by excavation,
and has promised to return in four weeks to as
sist in ma! ing lurtber examinations into tbe mys
terious affair.
The ruins are situated in the midst of a dense
thicket, almost impenetrable, and in all probabili
ty would nut have been discovered by these gentle
men had it not been for a pack of dogs having
overtaken a bear near the spot, in quest of wliicli
the gentlemen went.
Mr. Smith is surprised that the surveyor who
surveyed tin* county did not make this discovery,
as Mr. Johnson’s line passess in two feet of the
marble column described, and a line tree is marked
within thirty feet of it.
There have been a great man^evidences discov
ered proving the settlement of this country- anteri
or to the present race; but this is the surest testi
mony we have yet seeen proving the civilization of
the race that preceded us. The most mysterious
part of the affair—is the marble employed in the
structure, as it is well known that no marble is to
be found in this country nearer than Austin, and it
would be an utter impossibility to transport so
massive a piece as this is reported to be by land
carriage. The only reasonable conclusion we can
come to is, that the heavy material was exported
from other countries and brought up the SanJa-
cinto River by water to within a mile and a half of
the structure. The fact, is the w hole affair is a pro
found, impenetrable mystery, and we shonld be
disposed to doubt the existence of the structure did
not our personal knowledge of the author forbid
such a conclusion. We shall await anxiously
further developments, which will be made in a
short time..—Montgomery (Alu.) Mail.

The Prospect in the State.
All admit that if the thirty-five electoral votes
of the Empire State be cast for Buchanan aud
Breckeuridge, in November next, their election is
secure beyond a doubt. Until lately, we have
felt unwilling to claim that New Y'ork would in
deed remain true to the candidates and platform
ot National Democracy. Our long and bitter in
ternal dissensions—the admitted defection from
our lanks of certain uneasy and dissatisfied spirits
ho were never at home w ith us while professing
to belong to us—the active and early exertions of
tiie enemy—all combined to give a doubtful ap-
pearance to New Y’ork politics, and to induce tlie
apprehension that one or the other of the opposi
tion candidates might secure a plurality of the
popular vote.
An attentive examination of the field, and a
careful weighing of the chances, have, however,
of late re-assured us as to this point; and we think
that we can now confidently promise that the elec
toral votes of New Y'ork will be cast decisively in
favor of our nominees, aud that our most excellent
tate ticket, headed by Barker and Vanderbilt,
will certainly be elected. We speak confident
ly. because we feel confident. Our friends are
now actively at work. Late in the field, they
seem everywhere determined to compensate by
their zeal for their tardiness. The right spirit is
aroused. Seventy-five sterling Democratic jour
nals are daily and weekly pouring hot shot into the
camp of the enemy. Mass meetings are being held
in every section of the State—north, south, east
and west. Village Clubs are springing into exis
tence. On the stump—through the campaign paper
—by every fair and attainable means—tlie labor
ers in tbe Democratic vineyard are giving the truth
to the people, and the good seed sown broadcast,
promises to yield abundantly.
The Democratic party is everywhere united: our
opponents are divided aud distracted. The mot
ley horde of Fremonters w hich takes a negro for
its emblem, and tbe sneaking Knights of the Fill
more Dark Lantern w ho rally their followers with
theory of “Down with the Pope’’—are equally
hostile to each other as to us. Against both the
Democratic phalanx arrays itself.
In this city aud the island and river counties,
ibo Democracy are active, strong, and daily in-
rca.siug their numbers. The defection of German
adopted citiz. ns. of which we have heard so much
talk, is all moonshine and humbug. A few starv
ing presses have been pensioned, and half a dozen
abend orators hired “to talk Dutch during the
canvass,” (as the Know Nothing Fr. monters
phrase it,) and that is all. The Irish born voters
stand true and steadfast—every man of them. The
naturalized citizens everywhere—now as always
—are Democrats. The strife with the opponent
of Democratic principles is not new to them.—
They had begun it at home.
1 he southern counties—the Democratic section
ot the State—stand firm ns ever for the Democrat
ic ticket. The central counties, about Albany,
where the influence of the Know Nothing Canal
Board and State patronage generally make them
selves frit—look Fillmoreish. These are old
Whig strongholds, aud wo never used to look for
Albany, Rensselaer, Schenectady, YVashington,
Saratoga, &.c., going for ns. The struggle in
those couutics now is betw een Buchanan and Fill
more, bat we even hope to carry a part of them.
In the west and north, in the counties settled by
New Englanders and their descendants, lies the
Abolition strength. In this section, Fillmore is
not heard of, and the race is between Buchanan
and Fremont. And the fact is worthy ot atten
tion, and is encouraging, that everywhere the
contest is between the Democratic candidate and
ono or the other of his opponents. Ton may
find villages enough where Fremonters or Fill-
moreites are scarce heard of, but yon always find
more or less Buchanan men. The Democratic
nominees are eminently in the field throughout the
State.
With «long poll, a strong pnll and i pull all
together, the electoral ticket neadod by Seymour
and Gardiner can be carried, and Amasa J.
Parker, the noble nominee of the United De
mocracy, will be chosen the next Governor of the
State of New York—and a capital Governor he will
Remember that Parker and Vanderbilt can be
elected, and that their election renders that of Bu
chanan and Breckinridge also certain!
Buchanan on Squatter Sovereignty.
Read the letter below from the Southern Advo
cate, published at Huntsville, Ala. It scatters to
the wind, the interpretation which the opposition
put upon Mr. Buchanan's letter of acceptance.
An intelligent and well known gentleman of
this State writes us a very interesting letter, which
we take the liberty of publishing:
Philadelphia, Ang. 6, 1856.
My Dear Sin I spent two hours with Buchanan
on yesterday, at Wheatland. His grounds are
beautifully and tastefully arranged, but his bouse
is plain and unpretending in the extreme—every
thing has the air of unostentatious Democracy.
But the man himself is the very impersonation of
unaffected republicanism. I was never more
agreeably disappointed in my life. He gave us a
cordial and frank reception, and talked with ns
with the freedom of an old acquaintance. I really
felt as if I had known him all my life.
Ho said the issue involved in this elec
tion was the Union Of these States as eanals.
That the South had submitted to the ag
gressions of the Abolitionists with a patience
that might well challenge the admiration of
the world, and, considering the fire-eating pro
pensities, wns difficult to understand. He. redt-
cnled the doctrine cf Squatter Sovereignty, ari l
said that tho South had now, for the first time in
the history of the country, obtained from tbo gov
ernment the concession of the truej principles, v »
that the peaple of a Territory had the right, when
they canie to form a State Constitution, to say
whether they would or would not have slavery.
That by this legislation Congress had admitted
that the power was with the people and not n
Congress, and the only sensible rule was, that this
could be exercised by the people only when they
came to form a State Convention, preparatory to
admission into the Union. I give yon almost Lis
very words. He said, if he should be elected, he
felt satisfied the slavery question would be finally
settled, provided he could carry a portion of the
New Eugland States or the State of New York. In
other words, if he were elected by a national Tote,
what he would do ir. the premises would have a
national support, and the strength of I reescii’tsm,
which is sectional, would be be dispersed. Tho
truth is, Mr. Buchanan is as sound on this ques
tion as was Mr. Calhoun, and the northern Demo
cracy are better southern men to-day, than many
Democrats even at the South. Y\ hatever they
have done heretofore, now they meet the question
boldly, and defend the institution of slavery with
a fearlessness that we might do well to imitate.
They do not even apologize for it on ;he ground
that it is recognized in tire Constitution; but tliey
gav it is right. That God himselt established it,
and that it has the Bible for its foundation. If we
do not sustain these men in defence of our insti
tutions, we deserve eternal infamy. The contest
is obviously between Buchanan and Lrcniont.
Fillmore is not in the race. No man here pretends
to say that lie is.
On tlie whole, therefore, I consider his election
bevond ptradventure—and what I regret is, that
there can be found in the whole South a sing.e
man who will not vote for him. If they could see
him, and hear him talk, I firmly believe he would
get every southern vote.
I have scribbled this off so hurriedly I fear you
will not be able to read it.
Y’ours, truly,

Lightning and Lightning Rods —A correspondent
of the Hartford (Ct.) Times, writing on the subject
of lightning rods, from North Granby, says: Du
ring the late heavy thunderstorm several build
ings were struck on which rods "‘ere fastened.
Among these was the dwelling of Mr. H. A. Ful
ler of Hartland. The lightning struck the rod,
melting the tip, and descended about seven feet,
where it separated, part entering through the roof
and running about the house. The other portion
passed down the rod till it reached wituin six in
ches of the ground, when it turned towards the
ground, passed under tbe sill, and came up into
the room above, doing considerable damage to
house and property. It is believed by many that
if there had been no rod upon the house the bolt
would not have descended upon it, as there was a
tree standing within twenty feet, considerable
higher than the house. People are losing all con
fidence in these rods ; and if it be tree that they
draw the lightning upon a house and there leave
it to doits fearful work of ruin and death, instead
of conducting it out of the way, then the sooner
people are informed of tbe fact the better for their
welfare. A gentleman ftom the West informs us
that people in Ohio have lost all confidence m the
utility of lightning rods: many have temoved
them and sold them for old iron.
Brunstciek a Nary Station.—We ere much pleas
ed to be able to inform our readers that the Bill
making a Navy Station at Brunswick has passed
Congress. This long delayed measure is of vast
importance to the State generally, but ot much
more to Brunswick and those living near th“
Brunswick &• Florida Rail Road line. It is of
infinitely more importance to Southern Georgia
than either the State Aid or Main Trunk Bills.
It is a harbinger of the benefits which that section
is to derive from their determination to build the
Brunswick Road at once, and do it themselves.
If it had not been for the certainty of the comple
tion of this particular Road,this great measure—so
much desired and so long and so strenuously
sought for by Savananh and other places—proba
bly eonld not have been accomplished. Bright and
cheering as were all things before, we may certain
ly now move on with even greater alacritv than
heretofore, allowing nothing to turn us to the right
nor the left, nor a moment to permit our energies
to flag. We congratulate the State, but especially
Brunswick and Southern Georgia, whose interests
in this as in all othe> tilings is joint and common,
upon this auspicious event.—Herald.
A Rich Joke.—A California paper tells the fol
lowing of Lieuteuant Derby, “John Phrenix,” the
humorist;
One evening, at the theater, Phccnix observed a
man sitting tliree seats in front, whom he thought
he knew; he requested the person sitting next to
him to “punch the other individual with his cane.”
The polite stranger did so, and the disturbed per
son turning his head a little he discovered his mis
take—tliai he was not the person he took him for.
Fixing his attention steadfastly on the play and
affecting unconsciousness of tlie whole atfair, he
left the man with the cane to settle with tbe other
for the disturbance, who being wholly without an
excuse, there was of course, a ludicrous and eirt-
barrassing scene—during all of which Phoenix
profoundly interested in the play. At last the man
with the cane asked, rather indignantly, “Didn’t
you tell me to punch that person with my
stick?”
“Yes!”
‘,And what did you want?”
“I wauted to see whether you would punch him
or not!”
Prospects in Tennessee.—The news from all parts
of Tennessee indicate a most glorious triumph of
Buchanan and Breckenridge in that gallant State
in November.—Dalian Times.
Right there, Mr. Times. But could you have
been in this ancient Whig strong-hold yesterday
and seen Whigs and Democrats united, with ono
voice and one mind marching up, in face of tho
secret party that professes to have risen on their
“ruins,” to the defence of the Union and the Con
stitution,—above all could you have heard the
burning words of Albert G. Watkins, an old-line
Whig himself, as he eloquently set tor'h the duty
of Whigs in the present crisis, and heard the en
thusiastic response from the same gallant party,
you would have willingly doubled your figures
and given us 10,006 majority clear.—Kno-xville

Parting Compliments.—The Montgomery Journal
the YVhig aud Fillmore organ of Alabama, pays a
P. C. totli6 Democrats who have left the K. N.
party for the support of Mr. Bitcnaunn. In the
Journal's last should be included the gallant Percy
Walker, member of Congress from Mobile—whose
loss, truth to say, we felt at the time of his defec
tion from Democracy more than that of any one
eLse. Most heartily do we welcome him back.
Here are the remarks of the ’Journal:
Hon. Luke Pryor, for whom the Know Noth-
ino- members of our Iasi Legislature voted for
LTnited States Senator, and who was selected as
Elector for the Fifth Congressional District, has
taken the field for the election of Mr. Buchanan,
Carpenter, another Locofoco ou the said Electoral
Ticket, has also backed out of the contest for
Fillmore. We are glad of it. The sooner all this
sort of Locofoco stock is off (and but Tew remain)
the better for Fillmore and the conservative ciluse.
It would unfetter men from their false position,
and enable them to revive the old enthusiasm
which has always cheered the patriotic paity in
opposition to tl«? doctrines of radical Democracy.
YVhen this is done, the disasters which now seem
to fellow and cling pertinaciously to the banners
of the opposition on every occasion will be avoided.
