ON THE OHIO.
A Tfcu-tittc* Areoimi •»* a»s Kneounter
With
la tins yea* 1791, while the Indian*
were yet troublesom©, especially.op th©
backs of the Ohio, Captain William Hub
bell who had previously emigre tod to
and Kentucky who, from the State of Vermont,
after having fixed ids family in
frontier the neighborhood of Frankfort, then a
settlemout. had been compelled
to onff go eastward oa business, was a 00
time oa his way to this country. On
one of the tributary stream- on ti c river
Monongahela boot aud embarked he procurcda flat-bottomed
in company with Mr.
Daniel Light and Mr, Wiliiast l*laa©ut
and hi» femih conrinUng of .ightc'ob
dreu, d«Btine<! for lamestone. Kentucky.
Oa thoir progress down the Ohio River,
and so*m after pawing ililsburg, they
saw evident truces of Indians along tho
banks, and there i» every reason to be¬
lieve that a boat which they overtook
and which, through carelessaees, was suf¬
fered to tun agronnd on an island, be¬
came a prey to those merciless savages.
Though Captain Hubbell and lus party
stopped river, some time f- r it m « lower part
of the it did not arrive, and it was
sever ward. to Bkte their knowledge they heard of after¬
readied the mouth
of the Great Kanawha they hod, by sev¬
eral successive additions, increased their
number' to twenty, consisting of nine
men. thro© women and eight children.
The men, besides those mentioned above,
were one John Stoner, an Irishman and
a Dutchman, whose names are not recol¬
lected, Messrs. Ray. and Tucker and a
Mr. Kilpatrick, of tho whose two daughter* also
were party. Information received
which at Gallipblis confirmed th© exjjootation
serious appearances conflict with previously large body raised of a
a of .In¬
dians;, ami lisa Captain Habtali had been
reghiariy appointed possible commander of rise
boat every, preparation waa made
for a formidable and successful resistance
of the anticipated attack. Tho nine men
were divided into throe watches for the
night, which were alternately to con¬
tinue awake and be on the lookout for
two hoars at a time. The arms on board,
which consisted principally of. old mus¬
ket* much out of order, were collected,
loaded, and pat in the bust possible con¬
dition for service. At about sunset on
that day, the jGhl of March, 1791, out
party overtook a fleet of six Ismts de
senmiing tho river in company, >qft in¬
tended to bsv..- vontmui d »iU. tnein, tint
as their passengers seemed to be more
disp<«e.1 to dark, dancing than sighting andjf»
soon after notwithstanding the re¬
monstrance of Captain Hubbcdl, they
commenced fiddling and dancing instead
of preparing their anna and taking tho
accessory rest preparatory to battle. It
was mmf Cimsidertul more haaarsli.u.is to
be in such company than to be alone. If
waa therefore detonuined !- proceed
rapffly forward by aid of the oars aud to
leave those thoughtless fellow-travelers
behind. One <>f the boats, however, lv
longing to Greathouse, the fleet and comsaasided by
(laptam adopted the same
plan and fora white kept np with < A} ton
Hubbell, but ail itaerew at length tidling
asleep, that. boat also ceased t<> be pro¬
aud pelled by the oars and Captain Hubbell
party Early proceeded in 'steadily forward

were observed of the tieighlx.rhoiHl ® n d

It was now agreed that should the »t

morning, dawn in order evwry mm make should b* 1 up la-fore
to m groat a show

and that whenever the action should taka

The fire was commeivced from the boat

the kettle the thought struck him that it
might and bo made Use of in repelling the
foe he esmtiinied for a*wo® time to
strike them with it so forcibly and a®.
tively that they were unable to enter the
boat, and at length ho wounded one of
them so severely that with a yell they
suddenly stantly discontinued gav# way, All the canoea in¬
the contest and
directed their course to Captain Great
house's boat which was then m sight,
lit re a striking contest was exhibited to
the firmness and intrepidity which had
tei.m displayed. Instead of resisting the
attack the people on board of this boat
retired to the cabin in dismay. The In¬
dians entered it without opposition and
rowed it to the shore, where they in¬
stantly killed the Captain and a lad of
about fourteen years of ago. The wo¬
men they and planed in the centre of their
canoes mar.rung them with fresh
hands again pursued Captain Hubbai.!
and party 1 rsebineholv alternative
now presented itseli to these bravo but
almost desponding men, either to) falls
pr-.-y to the Mi-rages thoms -lvc# or to rui
tho risk of ahoottag the women who had
been placed in the canoes in the hope of
deriving sell protection from fh#*ir prusence.
But- “ preservafion is the first law m

remarked there would not bo much hu¬
manity iu preserving their lives at such
aownflce merely that- they might be
cqifee victims of savage, cruelty at some
sute qaent t>'ri<Mi
There were now but four men left on
board of Captain HubbeBV Itoat oapable
of defending severely it, and tho Captain himself
was wounded in two jdaees.
Th#seooiid attack, however, was resisted
with almost incredible firmness and
rigor. Whenever 'the Imhans Wotxld rise
to fire their opponent* would commonly
gi ve them -the tirat shot, which in almost
every instouce would' prove fatal, .Not¬
and withstanding the exhausted the disparity of numbers,
condition of the de¬
fenders of the boat, the Indians at length
appeared to despair of succchs, and the
canoes Jnst the aucessively last retired to the shore.
tain as Hubbell called one was departing Indian Cap¬

was turoingjphid standing iu the stern, aud on his
hint. 1 flpen the discharged his piece at
smoke which for a mo¬
ment obstructed the vision was dtasi
pabid, ho was seen lying oa hi* back
and ftpjteared to lie severely, and per
hap# mortally, wounded.
Unfortenatelv the boot now drifted to
the shore where the Indians were col
ii'Ct-d, and a large concourse, probably
between four and five hundred were seen
rushing down the bank. remaiuiffg Kay and Plaa
cut, ilio only men unhurt,
were placed at the than oars, twenty ami as too boat
win not more yards from
the shore it was deemed prudent for all
to lie down in as safe a flotation os possi¬
ble and attempt to push forward with the
continued utmost practicable this rapidity. aitoatiaa While nine balls they
in
were shot into one oar .and ten into the
other, without wounding the rowers,
who were hidden mm view and pro¬
tected by the. side of the boat and the
blankets in its stem. During this dread¬
ful exposure 1* * the fire of the savages,
which continued alxmt twenty minutes,

a ball hi his mouth, which passed oaf at
the hack of his Imad, and was almost at
‘h- Bans- moment shot through the
heart. He fell among the horses, that
alKiiit the same' tirac were killed, and
presented fellow-travelers to fata afflicted daughters and

that the Sunday preceding, th©

from Fort Washington at the month of

detachment consisted.

with too formidable a resistance from a

Lincoln and Douglas,
The two meat prominent men in Tlli
aoia at that time were Douglas and Lin¬
coln. Each was in the full maturity of
his powers, Douglas living 45 and Lin¬
coln 48 years old. Douglas had. for
years lieen trained on the stump, in the
lower house of Congress and in the Sen¬
ate to meet in debate the ablest speak¬
ers in the Btato and nation. For years
he had been accustomed, on the floor of
the Capitol, to encounter the leaders of
the old Whig and Free Soil parties.
den, Among them were Seward and Fessen¬
and Crittenden and Chase, and
Trumbull und Hale and Sumner, and
others equally eminent, arpj his enthu¬
siastic friends insisted that' lever, either
in single conflict or when receiving the
aweanlt of a whole party, had he been
discomfited. Hi* style was bold, 1 vigor
pus and aggressive, and st times do fiant.
He was ready, fertile in resotirccH, fa¬

indomitable physical and moral courage,
and his almost uniform success had giv¬
en him perfect confidence in himself.
Lincoln was also » thoroughly-trained
speaker. He had contended, success¬
fully, tho year after with year, the ablest at the liar and on
stump, men of Illi¬
nois, including and 1 .amborn, Logan, John
Calhoun others, and often met
Douglas himself—a conflict with whom
he always rather courted than shunned.

this droll story of a clergyman's experi¬

Some years ago there lived In Central
New York a very worthy but eccentric
divine known os Father Goes. He had
a hired man named Isaac., who always
obeyed lather orders Goss without bought question, day
a cow one
which proved refractory when milked,
although refusing to surrender the lacteal fluid,
Isaac used all the persuasive
arte of which he woe master. He finally
reported her delinquencies to his mas¬
ter,
“Well, Isaac,” said he, “go to the
bare and get those pieces of new rope."
I KltOO obeyed ; the cow was driven to
the stable, tied with a piece of rone,
when the Rev. came out armed with a
knife
“Now,” he explained to Isaac, “I
will get on the cow's back, and you tie
tay feet beneath her, then yon go on
with your milking, and, with my weight
upon her, she must give down her milk.”
Isaac obeyed. The feet were tied, the
pail got and milking commenced.
But bossy objected, and phmgod
the wildly Itev.’t* about. head The was stable fearfully was thumped. low and
“O Isaac! Isaac I” bawled he, “cut

Isaac seised the knife and out not the
rope which tied the master’s feet, but
the one that tied the vow. The stable
